APPROPRIATIONS
FOR RIVERS WILL NOT
RECEIVE SANCTION
President So Notifies Chair
man Sparkman of Rivers
and Harbors Committee.""
Washington. Dec. 1. (U. P.) Presi
dent Wilson will not sanction any new
rivers and harbors legislation in the
coming congressional session, he' to
day told Chairman Sparkman of the
house rivers and harbors committee.'
These appropriations must be "cut to
the bone." he informed Sparkman.
The word went forth several days
ago that "pork" must be eliminated in
the coming session, but this was the
first , official announcement of the
president's stand. The rivers and har
bors bill has been frequently referred
to as the chief among "pork barrel"
measures, and its enemies have charged,
tlat It contained appropriations for
rivers and harbors which were In

man's prestiKe in his district.
$46,000,000 Is Heeded.
Calling to explain the committee'
desires, Sparkman said that 346.000,
000 is needed to complete work al
ready begun.
While Congress last year used the
ax freely, cutting the bill to 130.00'),

freer hacking this year.

Stone and some feeling that Clarke's
position last spring on the ship pur

Senator Owen, head of the special
committee charged with bringing in a
cloture proposal, opened the caucus
fight for the "gag rule." He reported
that the committee had not agri.ed
upon several plans presented. Debate
followed. Owen thereupon urged that
the caucus adopt a general declaration

Officials of Powder Company
Scout Idea Today's Fires
Were Set by Spies.
Wilmington. Del., Dec. 1. (I. P.)
With a small fire discovered today in
the DuPont Powder Works, following
yesterday's terrible explosion, and with
announcement from Washington that
a special government investigator is
coming here, the general belief here
today was that anti-ally agents might
be responsible for the explosion. The
fire, however, was attributed to nor
mal causes.
After discovery of the first fire
today, a second small one was found
in the Hagley plant Officials scouted
the idea, however, that either wag con
nected with yesterday's tragedy.. Only
12 6f the 30 known dead hare been
identified. Arrangements are under
way for a general funeral.
Man "With Turn Arrested.
During the day a man with 65 faet
of fuse wrapped around his body was
arrested in the vicinity of the Carney
Point plant. It was thought he might
throw some light on yesterday's ex
plosion, t
Supposedly placed by German agents,
warning notices had been found recent
ly informing Germans that if they
worked for the Duponts they might
meet an untimely end.
In connection with warnings to the
company, it had refused for a long
time to employ any Austro-Gerinan
laborers. Workmen believe that an
outside agent caused the explosion
Inasmuch as there generally was noth
ing within the packing house that
could have caused the explosta. -
PoabU Qaara for UuJfc
- While searchers still huntedfor ths
gruesome remains of victims Of the
explosion, the officials today threw
about the plant a double guard as pro
tection against possible bomb plots.
Meantime, investigations sought to
ascertain the cause of the explosion
which killed 30 persons and fatally in.
Jured six others.
Only ruins mark tne crater or tne
packing bouse wherein the explosion
started.
It was reported that the allies' em
bassies at - Washington inquired as to
the cause, being interested because the
company is engaged on allied war con
tracts. Meantime, the police held the
theory that pro-German agents were
responsible for the blast, though the
company suggested merely that the
cause may never be known.
Searchers told horrible stories today
of finding shreds of flesh impaled on
limb of trees some distance from the
packing-house, while others reported
fragments of bodies seen floating down
the Brandywlne creek, nearby.

TAX OF 6.6

taxes this morning.
The school board levied a tax of 6.6

The Port of Portland fixed its levy

The boundaries of school district No

why the school tax is less than 6.6
times the port tax-
It took the school hoard about three
