not consented to the charge of
drunken driving being changed to
a less serious charge in any of the
1 1 cases here reviewed.

Two ordinances, drawn by Fred
A. Williams, were vetoed yester
day by Mayor John Giesy on the
e rounds that they were faulty.
They included one assessing the
cost of the improvement of River
street, and one accepting dedica
tion of a strip of property for al
ley purposes in block 43, North
Salem, from Oscar Redfield and
wife. In this veto message, the
Mnyor declares:
"Ordinance bill No. 2347 was
passed by your honorable body on
Jiine 6, 1926, and referred to the
imiyor for approval. It purports
.-) assess the actual cost of improv
ing River street from the west
line of the alleys in block 6 and
block 17, in Riverside addition to
he City of Salem, Marion county,
Oregon, to the west line of Water
street, against tho abutting and
adjacent property.
"The bill sets forth that the said
street was improved with a hard
surface pavement when, in fact,
the street was improved with mac
adam. "I therefore, return the bill to
your honorable body with my
veto'
"Ordinance bill No. 2345 In

and all persons.were keeping clear
of the army magazines for fear
explosions would occur.
General-Ruggles was informed
that considerable damage had
been done' to' buildings on the
army reservation, some of them
having been wrecked. He also
was told that no estimate could be
made on the loss of life or prop
erty damage as no one could get
near the danger zone.
The "navy 'department exper
ienced difficulty in getting accur
ate information from the scene of
the disaster. It was also attehpt-
d to get up a list of the personnel
at the ; depot but up to late to
night had -given out only a few
names. . ' ;
Captain bowling in a telephone
message late tonight to the navy
department from Picatinny ar

were threatened.
Shells were manufactured and
stored at the arsenals and li was
said that they were placed at suf
ficient distance from each other
so that the explosion of one would
not affect others. ' r
The lightning struck at the
naval reservation shortly afjter 5
o'clock and that was followed al
most instantly by la major Explo
sion. At- approximately hart hour
intervals after jlhat three other
major explosions were" heard.
Lesser explosions occurred at
more frequent intervals. Persons
familiar with the naval plant be
lieved all the , magazines had
blown tip. j
A powder factory and store
house 'were maintained at the
army arsenal. A series of Explo
sions began there within 45 min
utes of the first explosion at the
naval plant. About 50 persons
were" reported in general hospital
here and one woman died. Most
of the refugees pouring in from
Mount Hope and Rockaway j were
taken care of by residents here.
At 9 o'clock the explosions were
still heard and the corps of am
bulances were sttll held outside of
the danger zone by marine guards.
Refugees arriving from Mount
Hope reported that the entire
town had been destroyed by shells
from the navy arsenal.
The navy arsenal is located on
Lake Denmark, a small body of
water about seven miles north
west of Dover. Mount Hope, with
a population of close to 1,000,
was about two miles southwest of
the plant. The shells bombarded
Mount Hope, a few landing in
the army arsenal at Picatinny and
setting off the powder there.
Buildings in Rockaway, about
five miles southwest of the arsen
als, were damaged by the concus
sions of the explosions. No shells
were reported to have landed
there, but several . houses crum
bled when the major explosions
occurred.
The men and officers reported
missing made up the detachments
stationed at "the Lake Denmark
plant. Laborers who worked at
both places lived in Rockaway and
Mount Hope.' At 10 o'clock to
night, thirteen persons were in
general hospital. It was said that
great numbers had been treated.
Only those seriously injured were
ajjowed to remain.
