DEATH LIST FROM SHIP BLAST 12 NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 22.—The death toll in the explosion of firing powder aboard the U.S. cruiser Trenton mounted higher today. Four more deaths at the naval hospital at Portsmouth this morning brought the total to 12. Physicians said John Uzzollino, of Newark, N.J., suffered internal burns which may cause death. Those who died this morning were Arthur J. McCormick, Charleston, Mass.; Franklin B. Jeffrey of Lynn, Mass.; George Luker, Newark, N.J.; George J. Gaffney, New York City. The explosion in the forward turret of the Trenton is said to have been the first of its kind in the American navy. The gun on the Trenton had not been fired and it is the theory of naval men that in hoisting the charge, preparatory to firing the 20-inch rifle, metal on the apparatus caused friction that set off the powder charge. A total of 250 pounds of powder exploded. The cruiser is not seriously damaged. It is said, the explosing loose power being less destructive and more in the nature of a fire than would have been an explosion of shells. Under orders of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, three ordinance experts from Washington will arrive here today or tomorrow to assist in the investigation to ascertain the cause of the explosion. Officers from the scouting fleet will compose the board of inquiry and will be selected by Rear Admiral McCully, its commander. The investigation is expected to begin tomorrow. One officer, Lieut. John A. Sedgwick, of Winthrop, Mass., and 11 men are under treatment at the naval hospital. Most of them will be discharged within a week, it was announced. Sedgwick was one of the outstanding heroes of the disaster. Blown overboard into a rough sea by the force of the explosion, he saved the lives of two men struggling in the water. A lifebelt TRUSTEES FAINT AT VOTE OF THANKS The second bouquet to be received by Fullerton's present board of trustees since it came into office came last night in the way of appreciative thanks from Rev. S Fraser Langford, pastor of the First Baptist church, for having marked off parking space in front of his church. The trustees were so accustomed to receiving brickbats that they professed to know not what to do with the minister's thanks. It was suggested that he is a newcomer in Fullerton and lest he should be discouraged the board had better accept them, but Mayor Crooke said: "I know not how to put any such a motion." Mystery Surrounds Finding of Heads DIXON, Ill., Oct. 22—Mystery surrounding the finding of two human heads underneath a Lincoln highway bridge on the outskirts of this city remained unsolved today and the only clue in the hands of police was the copy of the Sept. 23 issue of the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal, in which the heads were wrapped. A coroner's physician who examined them said they probably had been placed there Sunday. The heads were those of middle-aged white men. Thirteen Escape Death By Blackhand Bomb SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22—Thirteen persons escaped death here today when a bomb exploded in the entrance of three flats. The bomb, left in the vestibule of the building in a suitcase, was believed to have been deposited by blackhanders, according to the police.

CROWDS INCREASE AT AUTO SHOW DAILY (Continued From Page One) Mrs. Margaret Buitree at the piano, will sing. Ray Schanhals injected something of interest in the question regarding European vs American precedence last night when he reminded other members of the trade that it was Charles Y. Knight, a native American, who invented and developed the Knight motor, the leading motor in England and on the continent. The leading European racing cars adopted this motor years ago as the best achievement of automotive science. The V motor of the Cadillac also is an American achievement, and M. B. Lacy, Anaheim manager of the Cadillac Garage Co., notes that this eight cylinder motor was invented years before the tendency toward eights now so strong in the trade began to be even felt. The V motor is the one used on the Shenandoah and on the round-the-world airplanes. The present Cadillac differs from its immediate predecessor in that abolish vibration and four wheel mechanical brakes have been added. Thus, the Cadillac is conservative; it does change enough to keep in the forefront of progress, says Lacy. This is the 11th year of the V motor. When it comes to bodies, the most peculiar fact perhaps is the tendency toward similar hoods; the other lines still differ considerably. Independent makes of car which do their own body building are equipped this year with hoods which appear almost interchangeable in some instances. It is difficult to find a car like the former Olds, for example, outstandingly different. The bevel line is possibly the most common characteristic of most hoods now. The Moon body is built by the Pullman Car Co., says Dr. Schwentker, and its peculiar but pleasing lines are the most distinctive thing outwardly observable about the car. The straight lines of the radiator, with its heavy German silver, also mark this car. The accusation of course is ridiculous, said Moon, because all good cars have bearings of a certain company, because they are the beat bearings or axle procurable; the red seal motor is found on scores of good cars; and so with lighting equipment, etc.; Manufacture of given special parts on a huge scale enables makers of so-called "assembled cars" to put a value into their machines that would be impossible otherwise. Contributing only less than body design itself toward smarter appearances is the better paint being put upon cars. A very marked advance in this respect was noticed by observers over the models of the 1923 auto show here, given in connection with the Orange Show. The Duco finish on the Oakland, Moon, Chrysler, etc., is far ahead of any other finish ever devised for almost any sort of vehicle. The most striking paint job on the floor, perhaps, is that on the Crown Imperial Chrysler sedan of the Frank P. Taggart Co. This is a special piece of work done at the Maxwell factory. The big broad band of black over the brown, extending midway about the body, and the two tones of brown make this Chrysler striking without being loud and elegant without being garish. The car would not be out of place among Rolls Royces or Duesenberggs. Just what a little tire paint will do is shown on the tires of this sedan and on the Western Glendale FIRE.

CLAIMS ADMIRAL HARD BARGAINER (Continued From Page One) will devote its attention to Republican financial operations in the state of Pennsylvania, for it was there, according to LaFollette, that the alleged "slush fund" had its beginning. Money raised in Pennsylvania, he has charged, was to be used in swinging doubtful states in other parts of the country into the Republican column. Chief among the Pennsylvania leaders summoned for questioning today was Joseph R. Grundy, a member of the ways and means committee of the Republican national committee and the writer of letters appealing to business and manufacturing interests in Pennsylvania to join contributions to the Republican campaign fund. Summoned with him were Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works; Edward Stotesbury, Philadelphia capitalist; W.W.Atterbury, vice-president of the Pennsylvania railroad; Nathan T.Folwell, president of the Manufacturers' club of Philadelphia. These men, according to LaFollette's representatives, have been engaged in soliciting funds for the Republican campaign without accounting for them as part of the IOWA BANK CLOSED DES MOINES, Is., Oct. 22. Notice posted on the doors of the United States Bank today, that threatened run made closing necessary, informed customers that the bank had suspended. The state banking department said that no inkling of the bank's suspension had been given state officials. AT THE HOTEL VALENCIA Fred W. Hawken, Bradley; Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

LaFollette's charges of the extent of the Republican "slush fund" have placed the amount as big as $20,000,000 and his attorneys before the committee will strive to show that this figure is not inaccurate.
