DOMKSTIC. Fire resulting from an 
explosion on the yacht Salome, owned by 
John Rinding, circus tnan. injured six 
persons February 1(>, and destroyed the 
vessel, which was valued at $50,000. The 
explosion occurred when the yacht was 
in the Gulf, two miles off Cortez, Fla. 
Marcus Garvey. “Provisional President 
of Africa” and president of the Black 
Star Liue. Inc., has been indicted by the 
Federal grand jury for using the mails in 
a scheme to defraud prospective investors 
in the stock of the Black Star I.ine, In¬ 
dictments also have been returned against 
Elio Garcia, George Tobias and Orlando 
M. Thompson, officers and directors of the 
line. In the indictment, which was drafted 
by Maxwell S. Mat til ek, Assistant United 
States Attorney, it is charged that Gar¬ 
vey and the others, in the course of a 
campaign to dispose of 2,000.000 shares 
of stock, represented to negro investors 
that the line intended to purchase one or 
more steamships and an excursion boat 
ami operate them at a profit. The de¬ 
fendants specifically represented, says the 
indictment, that the line would get the 
steamship Phyllis Wheatley, whereas in 
fact there is no steamship of that name. 
Garvey and his associates also are 
charged with representing to investors 
that the Black Star Line had an organi¬ 
zation expense of $2X9.00(5.27, and that 
the company had added three vessels to 
its fleet and held a high place among com¬ 
mercial organizations. 
Two men were killed February 17 by 
an explosion at the plant of tbe Atlas- 
Powder Company, at Landing. N. J., near 
the west end of Lake Ilopateong. The 
two killed were Fred Alpaugh and Eugene 
Lomrncn. Alpaugh lived with bis wife 
and family at Suecasunna. X. .T. Loin* 
meu’s home was in I.edgevvood, X. J. Tbe 
victims were the only occupants of the 
building in which the explosion occurred. 
They were employed by the Atlas Pow¬ 
der Company as dynamite packers. 
How tbe annual toll exacted by fire in 
the Tinted Slates is 15,000 lives, with a 
property wastage of $505,000,000, was 
told by wireless by T. Alfred Fleming. 
National Board of Eire Underwriters, 
New York, who spoke February 17 before 
750 industrial workers attending the fire¬ 
men's instruction course of the Chicago 
Safety Council, a department of the As¬ 
sociation of Commerce. Mr. Fleming 
poke over the wireless for 10 minutes, 
and the word was radiophoned as far west 
s Denver and south, east ami north for 
S00 miles, reaching 50.000 persons. 
Sidney Krengel. of Kreugel Brothers, 
diamond importers nf New York and Chi¬ 
cago, reported to police at St. Louis Feb¬ 
ruary IS. he had been robbed of diamonds 
which cost him $76,899, and which bad a 
retail value of between $125,000 and 
<150.000, on an Illinois Central train. 
The diamonds were in a wallet which he 
placed under his pillow in the Pullman 
ear, Mr. Krengel told the police, and were 
insured for $50,000. 
Four members of a family of five were 
burned to denlIt. the only surviving mem¬ 
ber is suffering from exposure, as the re¬ 
sult of a fire which destroyed the home of 
L. A. Dove, onp-half mile from Tl.ortville 
Junction, Wyo., February IS. The dead 
are L. A. Dove. 55; Orvala, 22; Mabel, 
10, and Cleo, 15. Mrs. Dove, the only 
one to escape, walked half a mile bare¬ 
footed and in her night clothes to the 
home of neighbors. 
Authorities February IS were search¬ 
ing for C. Gorman Sayre, missing head of 
lhe Minneapolis Bond Exchange. Minne¬ 
apolis, Minn., who is said to have de¬ 
frauded thousands of person* in the 
Northwest out of at least $30,000 through 
the sale of foreign securities and personal 
*T0 per cent gold bonds.” 
Fire of uiidetorm :, 'od origin practically 
destroyed Alumni Hall at Trinity Col¬ 
lege, Hartford, Conti . February IS. The 
lire, which caused a loss of $00,000. was 
under control within an hour, but it 
ruined all parts of the building, which 
was given in 1SS7 by Junius Spencer 
Morgan, grandfather of the present J. I*. 
Morgan. 
The need of legislation to curb reckless 
driving of automobiles is emphasized by 
a report made public by the New York 
•State Conference of Mayor*. It shows 
that the number of persons killed in auto¬ 
mobile accidents in the cities of Hie State 
increased 13 per cent in 1021 over those 
killed in 1020. Automobiles were respon¬ 
sible for 1.070 deaths in the cities last 
year, as compared with 045 in 1020 To 
meet this alarming increase of fatal au¬ 
tomobile accidents a bill to license auto¬ 
mobile operators in tlm entire State a* 
well ns in New York City is now before 
the Legislature. In New York City tile 
report shows there were ''51 deaths in 
1021 and 730 in 1020; 20,74(5 person* in¬ 
jured in 1021 and 17.521 In 1020 ; 27,320 
accidents reported in 1021 and 22.510 in 
1020. The report states that reckless 
driving and carelessness of pedestrians 
were the causes >>f fatal accident*. 
WASHINGTON. The Senate Febru¬ 
ary 17 passed the bill paving the way for 
the War Department to complete (lie ac¬ 
quisition of real estate ar some army 
camps and supply bases whh li was taken 
over during tin* oxlension of facilities in 
the war. The measure authorizes appro¬ 
priations of about $4,000,000, which 
Chairman Wadsworth, of l In* Military 
Committee, said would make it possible 
for the government to complete Ihc title 
to properties valued at around $130,000,- 
000. It gives the government the right to 
sell or lease or do as it sees fit with much 
land that it now controls only through 
the war-time requisitions. 
Airplane carriers are vitally necessary 
to the navy, since airplanes themselves 
have shown they are essential to the 
work of the licet. Assistant Secretary 
Roosevelt told the House Naval Commit¬ 
tee February 20. Mr. liookevoll said that 
by converting two battle cruisers into 
carriers a saving of $18,000,000 could be 
effected. “The department strongly rec¬ 
ommends the two battle cruisers now 
building and on which $40,000,000 each 
has been expended should be converted 
into airplane carriers as a vital part of 
the naval establishment,” Air. Roosevelt 
said. "Our experts have figured that it 
would cost $13,000,000 each to complete 
them, but if we discard them it will cost 
$22,000,000 each to build anew.” 
Assurance that tbe War Department 
if granted lump sum appropriations 
would make a record for economy during 
the coming fiscal year was given Febru¬ 
ary 20 by Secretary Weeks to the House 
subcommittee which is framing the army 
appropriation bill. Secretary Weeks ex¬ 
pressed the belief that the expenditures of 
certain bureaus could be decreased con¬ 
siderably. It was said, however, that he 
took the position that it should be loft to 
tbe department executives to determine 
what savings could be made without de¬ 
creasing the efficiency of the service. 
Ruthless slashing by Congress of allow¬ 
ances for various activities, with stipula¬ 
tions that certain sums should he used for 
specified purposes, the Secretary was said 
to have told the committee, might prove 
so restrictive as to hamper economical 
administration of tbe army.

Brief Notes from Albany 
The bill introduced by Assemblyman 
Cuvillier relative to the creation of a 
State textbook commission will never get 
anywhere, and that is its proper destina¬ 
tion. 
An attempt is being made to reduce 
the dog license from $2 down to $1.50. 
Assemblyman Witter, chairman of the 
Agricultural Committee, is opposed to 
this, lie states that not enough money 
is raised at tbe present time in his county 
to cover sheep losses. I believe that a 
sane dog law should provide that in addi¬ 
tion to taking out a license the owner 
will be held responsible for all damage 
committed by bis dogs. Tt is poor busi¬ 
ness to continue licensing bad dogs. They 
should be exterminated. 
The bill now under consideration which 
aims to consolidate the Agricultural and 
Farms and Markets Departments is ex¬ 
pected to pass both branches of the Leg¬ 
islature readily. Any proposed elements 
which would tend to cause serious con- 
trover*y were withheld from tbe bill, and 
will be acted on separately. In accord¬ 
ance with this policy, a new bill of plac¬ 
ing a bau on filled milk in New York 
State has just been prepared for intro¬ 
duction. 
There need be no fear of the enactment 
of any law which will prohibit farmers 
from going afield with a gun during 
closed season. I am not yet aware that 
just such a provision has been incorpor¬ 
ated into any bill. 
The New York Conservation Associa¬ 
tion favors lengthening the partridge sea¬ 
son from one month, as at present, to six 
weeks. That is the kind of conservation 
that the big body of sportsmen endorse. 
A resident observer, who is a personal 
friend of mine, write from Texas that 
some of bis friends and countless others, 
who frequently go on three-day duck, 
quail or goose liuuts, shoot their full 
limit of 25 per day during each of the 
three days, and when they are ready to 
return home at the end of the third day 
the first two days’ shootings have spoiled. 
What should we do about it? 
There seems no likelihood that any 
general rural school bill will be intro¬ 
duced this year. There is a general un¬ 
derstanding that the report of the Com¬ 
mittee of Twenty-one should be discussed 
for at least one year before legislation is 
attempted. 
The Legislature promises to adjourn on 
March 17. There has not been any ses¬ 
sion in recent years where such a short 
and definite program has been put for- 
wurd and carried out. u.
