States BULLETIN NEW YOI1K, Oct. 7. Five men were kilb-d. live others are missing and believed to be dead, and more than a score injured Thursday afternoon in an explosion which wrecked a forward compartment of the Pritish tanker O. K. Crow of Toronto, undergoing repairs at a I.rooklyn shipyard. The blast, which endangered the lives of more than 200 workmen employed on the ship's deck, is believed to have been caused when gases from an empty oil tank were ignited by a blow torch. City detectives, repres ntatives .f the fire marshal's office and agents oi the department of justice, however, began an immediate investigation. One man was thrown more than a hundred feet in the air, crashing to death through the iron roof of a nearby machine shop. The majority of the wounded were burned and lacerated, but all are expected to live, it was stated at the hospitals. Damage to the ship amounted to thousands of do'lars.

The league would renew European credit for purchase of American products, he stated.

SMITH HOLDS INDIANS TO THREE BLOWS Cleveland Players Baffled By Offerings of Dodger Twirl er. yi'r YOUK- Oct. 7. vSherrod smith. Brooklyn's southpaw hurling ace. pitched himself into a place in the world's series, Hall and Fame Thursday when he held Cleveland helples.- in the third game of the sup r-pennant struggle which tho -National leaguers won two to one. Smith, who might aptly bo termed the "stormy petrel" of baseball from the fact that this connection with the Hobln is the thirteenth since his debut on the professional diamond, found this circustance neither a hoodoo nor a handicap. No Jinx hoverinp around tho twirler from Malnsfield, Ga.. found lodgement on the ball which baffled the Indian war club swingers throughout the entire nine innings of the game. Kxcvllcnt Support. Is'mith was supported by his teammates in a manner which fully equalled the best exhibitions of fielding in similar conflicts. The Superuas backed up their pitcher like the Ptcondary defense of an all-Arnerican football team and it was almost impossible for the Cleveland batters to get a drive through the various combinations which shifted with lightning speed from place to place wherever the ball was hit. Of the : Sinninga who faced the Robins' star left hander. only rive reached rtrst. Of these three arrived on hits and two on passes Speaker scored on an error, two were left on bases and O'Nell was once tho victim of a double play and Jamicson, who ran for him in the eighth inning met a similar fate. Smith hurled 109 balls up' to the visitors, of which 29 were strikes. 41 balls, 8 foul strikes, 5 fouls, 5 field outs and 18 ground outs. Win in rirst, Brooklyn, while never free from the fear of a Cleveland rally batted its way to victory in the firat inning as it eventualis proved, by falling upon the puny offerings of Ray Caldwell as soon as he took his place on the mound. What Manager Speaker saw In Caldwell's curves when the latter warmed up will always be a mystery. Certainly the lanky former Yankee had nothing but deliberation after he entered the box. Of this he had plenty and to spare. A base on balls, an error, and two hits netted the superbas the two runs that won the game before Speaker could wig-wag Ray away and replace him by Duster Mall?. The former Robin, while not as effective as his rival Smith, was not an cay proposition and bucked up by some splendid fielding, prevented any further scoring. But with the Brooklyn port sider going at the pace, he had set for himself. . the initial inning slip of the Cleveland combination was Caldwclls undoings. It was the lirst contest to be played in real baseball weather and the fans showed the effects of the more suitable setting. Soakor (ilen Applause. Speaker was given the greatest applause of any individual player. Members of "both teams came in for repeated cheers following fine plays but the rooting which has mad other series famous was still missing, notwithstanding that the home club was winning and winning repeatedly. The baseball fire works opened in the second inning, when Rightfielder Grithth made a great running catch off Joo Wood's bat that robbed the Cle eland outfielder of a sure double. A moment later Konteshy knocked down Sewell's blazing slash and retired him at first with a snap throw to Smith. Both players were required to don their caps repeat edly as they came U- the bench. In the third Konteehy and Kilduff into the Paris league and I favor staying out." Tho senator's declaration on the league was made at a fcrenocn gathering of several thousand in the ctdin-um at Fes Moines, and Iatrr was repeated in varied form at several smaller Iowa cities and at a nU'ht meeting in the Omaha auditorium. In sixteen speeches during the day, he also re-stated hir- position on arious other issues of tho campaign ar.d during his address here devoted a half hour plea for enforcement of law without "terrorism" or oppression. Sen. Albert Cummins, candidate for rtelection, accompanied the presidential nominee through the state and in each of his speeches, the latter asked for Mr. Cummins election. In several of them ho praised the Cummins-Ksch railway law as an accomplishment unequalled in progressive legislation for a decade.

These are benevolent functions for which there was no machinery whatever before 131?. Q. What Is the Saar galley situation? A. During the great war. Germany wantonly and needlessly destroyed or rendered unproductive for many years coal mines furnishing half of the French domestic supply. As part of the reparation duo to France, the treaty of VercaillQS gave her the coal mines of the Saar valley, located in G'-rmany. on the border of Alsace. Under the old European situation there would have been no way to exe. ute this condition except to let France occupy this territory, whoso inhabitants are German in blood. language, and sentiment. The inhabitants of the Saar valley would have been ruled during 15 years by a hereditary enemy; this would have intensified that racial bitterness which is a prima ry cause ot war. France would have b" en undT constant temptation to hold permanently this rich and useful territory. The League of Nations, through its commissioners, is now governing the Saar valley with success and without friction. The league is bound by solemn pledge to öfter at the end If 1" years the inhabitants their choice of French or German sovereignty. J. WluU otlKT functions Is tho Ixn'Ttic now crformln;r? A.

LEAGUE TALK MAKES HIT AT HIGH SCHOOL Milo Bennett of Chicago Explains Covenant to a Large Crowd. "By adopting the League of Nations, we are simply spreading the Monro; doctrine over the entire world." declared Hon. Milo Bennett, of Chicago, before a large representation of both political parties at the high school auditorium Thursdoy night. Mr. Bennett was a member of the progressive party in 1912 and returned to the republican party in support of Judge Cha:-s 12. Hughes along with the late Co.. Koosevelt. Ho was later a supporter of Pres. Wilson. Mr. Bennett told of the various policies of the progressive party and drew a comparison between them and the platform of the democratic party. He explained the progressives' stond on the Workmen's Compensation act. Woman suffrage and numerous other acts of legislation which the democratic administration enacted and how tho different legislation was all fathered by the progressives. plains leiall. In speaking on the League issue Mr. Bennett brought forth many details explaining how the United States holds the same number of votes in the League as any other nation. "One will hear on the various street corners, barber shops and other public places that England has more votes than the United he said. "All matters brought before the League are settled by the council and assembly. No nation can have more than one vote in thj council. This means that England. Including ail its possessions is entitled to only one vote. "Before any subject before the league is settled It must have the unanimous vote of the council. Only one vote is allowed any nation in the assembly and before any subject is decided a majority of votes of the assembly must be received. The council is the executive, the same as the president of our nation and the assembly the congress. Before any nation can enter the league it "must sign an agreement that before going to war with another nation the grievances must be placed before the league for arbitration. The nation is allowed three Months to place its charges or complaints and the league has six months in which to reach a decision. In other words there is a a tottal of nine months in which the grievances are arbitrated. Boycott Outlaws. "At the expiration of this period ef tim should the nation engage in war against the ruling of the league it will be boycotted by the other members. At present there are 41 nations belonging to the league. With this number of nations refusing to provide assistance either in the form of munitions or money the nation acting in opposition to the ruling will only be able to comply with the decree of the Ixague. Under the League there is no possible chance of sending soldiers to light the smaller nations. The League in Itself is a super-government. "I:-Pres. Taft in a statement made to the New York Tribune.

The three orders fixing the prtce of coal at the mines, and jobbers and retailers profits issued Wednesday by the special coal and food commission .are aimed at abnormal proiits. Jesse E. Eschbach, chairman of the commission asserted in an address to railroad men here late Thürsady. Any coal men who feel that they are injured by the price fixing order may have a rehearing, he said. Mr. Eschbach's was composed of the Indiana legislative board of the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers, and Order of Hallway conductors.. No Abnormal Profits. No man in tho state of Indiana need to lese a cent by our price lixlng orders," said Mr. Eschbach. "but the coal commission dots not propose that the coal men shall make the abnormal proiits they have been making in the last few months. "They can come in yet this evening. We will start a hearing- for them Friday at fJ o'clock and con tinue IS hours a day n.ti! they get their evidence in. We will grant them every reasonable cost and a reasonable protit but no more. They have indicated that they will refuse to obey our orders and will light our orders in the courts. If they undertake in the federal or state courts to tie up this commission, then the responsibility for cold women and children must be on their heads and not ours." The commission, said Mr. Esch- j bach, fixed prices en the actual cost of production as ascertained by its experts. From the reports made by thirty-nine investigators to tho trade commission I tind they operated during the lirst three months ef 1920 at a cost of production at $2.12 per ton. On that cost they realized $2.oS in April that same group said their co&t of production was $2.05 a ton and they sold that coal at $2.81. The 23 per cent wage Increase was added in that month. In May their cost was $2. 39 a ton and they sold at $3.0 4. In May 191S their cost was $2.63 and they sold at $J.0 1. "Thirty companies in 13 IS operated at a cost per ton vf $1.98 and sold at $2.31. The first three months of 1920 they mined at a cost of $2.2S and sold at $2.09 and in April their 1 92 0 their Cost was $2.72 and selling pries was $2.b2 a ton. "Our lowest mine price for mine run coal in Indiana under our order is JC.00 a ton yet the operators insist they will lose money at this price. Con tract For Coal.

" Mr. Esc jach Thursday granted a hearing of Warsa'V to the Bunting Ceal Co.. on its representation that It could not do business under the j $2.25 margin of profit tixeJ for re-, tailers. In granting the hearing! which is to be held at 9 o c:occ next Monday morning Mr. Eschbach - ti l that any other retailers who miirht j feel they could not operate under i the legal margin would be heard.

While reduction in illegal traffc in communities where the ban has been cn had been undeniably great, the commissioner said, it had not controlled the employment of fraudulent methods of obtaining wliisfcky from bonded warehouses. e added that restrictions on withdrawal could not be applied to olcohol because of its use for indus trial purposes and that this sort of distilled spirits had continued on "tho bootleg market."
