IN EXPLOSION

Terrible Boiler Disaster In America

Tyler, Mar. 18.

Between three and four hundred children are estimated to have been killed by a boiler, explosion which destroyed, part of a school building situated about fifteen miles from here. 'This esti- mate was given by the school superintendent in a telephone mes- sage from the scene of the disaster.

"Emplovees of an oil company, near the spot state that "children are dying all around us." Fire- fighters with equipment, as well as doctors and nurses, are racing to the scene, The total number of children in the school at the time of the disaster is believed to have been about 1,500.

IP

The explosion tore out the end of the school auditorium which was crowded with several hundred children of oil workers in the East Texas oilfield.

135 BODIES RECOVERED The bodes of. 135 children and ten teachers were recovered two hours after the explosion occurred,

The hall of the school apparent ly collapsed when the explosion happened, crushing most of the children, a few of whom appear to have been burned.

So violent was the explosion that bricks from the building were thrown a quarter of a mile from the scone of the disaster.

The explosion is attributed to accumulation of gas in the

boller-room.

OVER 600 KILLED The oil company plant at Hous- ton has been informed from East Texas that of 730 pupils and tea- chers in the building at the time of the explosion only 100 are alive: Hundreds of bodies are laid out in rews in the school grounds.

Paris Mar. 18.

Three hundred photographs of Signor Mussolini, including a largo cne autographed by the Duce, were reported to have been found in the dat of Madame Fontange, whose name is really de Laferriere. The Police searched the fat for two hours this afternoon while an excited crowd watched outside.

In her private diary, it is stated that references were made to Mus- solini and also M. de Chambrun. The diary was placed under seal after it had been found.

Madame Fontange's lawyer, M.

Floriot, declared that the report ed relationship between his client and a high Italian personage had nothing to do with the case. Juri- dically, in France, the only point with which they were dealing was the attack on Chambrun.- Reuter.

Mr. Kenneth Lindsay, Civil Lord of the Admiralty, replying. de- clared that the reason for what looked like an increase in expendi- ture over two or three years was In reality the replacement of several very heavy items on a pro- gramme which had been truncated carlier. For example, there was the increase over the building of the North Wall to allow for the accommodation of capital shipa and an increase in accommodation by about 50 per cent.

London, Mar. 18,

An inquiry was addressed to the Lord President of the Coun- cil in the House of Commons to-day regarding the progress of the experiment and research, assisted by the Medical Research Council, into the prevention and cure of common cold and in- Aucazz

Mr. Ramsay Macdonald said that during the past year there been further confrmation from different parts of the world that the virus originally isolated in 1933 at the National Institute for Medical Research is the infective agent which causes an epide- min of Influenza' and on this basis measures for preventive action were being devised and substantial progress had been achieved. There was considerable" ground for hoping that a satisfactory means for producing at least temporary Immunity would be evol- ved. He added that the Council was not at the moment support- ing a direct attack upon common cold but the problems were closely related and the advance against one disease was likely to assist attacks on the other.-Brifish Wireleu.
