MAN KILLED IN POWDER EXPLOSION SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 15.—One man was killed and damage to the extent of $100,000 was done to buildings at the DuPont Powder Co.'s plant two miles west of Camp Lewis in an explosion which rattled windows in West Seattle shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. The explosion occurred in the glaze mill of the black powder mill, a unit of the major plant where from 12 to 15 men are employed. No explanation of the immediate cause of the explosion was obtainable at the plant. It is customary for workmen to leave the mill when the glazing process starts and with the possible exception of one or two men, no one appears to know what touched off the blast. John Elwood, the dead man, may have been the only witness to the accident. The company is making an investigation, but has not been able to obtain a satisfactory explanation.

"Woodrow Wilson," said Alderman, in one of his many minating descriptive phrases.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1924 CITY CLUB WILL HEAR DR. McCOY Dr. Frank McCoy, who is nationally known as an expert on foods and diet will tell members of the Anaheim City club how to gain health and keep it, through proper foods, physical culture exercises, etc., at their regular weekly luncheon on December 16th, which will be held at the Knights of Pythias hall at 12 noon. Dr. McCoy has recently appeared before a number of civic and commercial organizations such as the Commercial Board of Los Angeles, the Scribes, the City Club, etc., all of Los Angeles and in San Diego before the Advertising club, the Junior C. of C., the Business and Professional Women's club, the Optimists club and next Friday, Dec. 19th, he will address the Sciota at their regular weekly luncheon. He also gave a most interesting lecture at the Community House, La Jolla, recently, before a very large audience on "The Fast Way to Health." One of the most interesting features of Dr. McCoy's lectures is that he answers all written questions on diet and health (also verbal questions) and most valuable information is gained by his audience. Dr. McCoy is the author of "The Fast Way to Health"—a book which has caused much discussion on account of the rather unique ideas expressed by the doctor regarding the right way to live and eat in order to attain 100 per cent efficiency. At the present time, Dr. McCoy is contributing daily articles on diet and health to the Orange County Plain Dealer and to about 25 other Californian newspapers. Watch the Plain Dealer for announcement regarding a series of lectures to be given by Dr. McCoy under the auspices of the Plain Dealer. The lectures are to begin in the early part of January, 1925. PROBABLE JAP ENVOY TO U.S. RAPS EFFORT TO ENFORCE DRY LAW Declaring that he had always been on the "dry" side, Rev. J. A. Geissinger last night in his sermon at the Methodist White Temple attempted to throw discredit on the recent county-wide booze raid and the Fullerton and Anaheim meetings in connection therewith. Anaheim's meeting takes place tomorrow evening at the Hi School auditorium. There were quite a few vacant seats downstairs, in spite of the presence of some of the "wet" element. With evidence mounting daily that every last "wet" of prominence in Anaheim is lined up with the U. S. A. Club and the recall candidates, the pastor repeated his charge that assertion that the issue is booze or no booze was an attempt "to throw dust into the eyes" of the public. He commended the U. S. A. Club's councilman ticket as "dry." Of the Fullerton mass meeting, he declared it was not really "public," because some were given a longer time to speak than others. It had not been made clear, he added, why the Fullerton City Council should allow the bill of $2800, Fullerton's share of the $11,000, Why Fullerton or the Cyclope or the "Invisible wizard" should have made the arrangements for the Fullerton meeting he couldn't understand. The expenses of the raid and method of meeting them appeared to interest the preacher more than any other phase of the matter. He said he couldn't see where the $11,000 expenses came in./If the raiders have to taste it it could take a great deal of booze, too, he declared. He couldn't understand why a collection was taken up at the Fullerton gathering. The pastor admonished the members of his congregation that if they attended tomorrow night's mass meeting at the Hi School... At the present time, Dr. McCoy is contributing daily articles on diet and health to the Orange County Plain Dealer and to about 25 other Californian newspapers. Watch the Plain Dealer for announcement regarding a series of lectures to be given by Dr. McCoy under the auspices of the Plain Dealer. The lectures are to begin in the early part of January, 1925. 19 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending Dec. 6 show 19 new wells started compared with 21 previous week; six were for wells in Rosemere field, one each in Torrance, Dominkuez, Huntington Beach, Inglewood, Richfield, Los Angeles, Sonejo field, San Luis Obispo, four in Kern-co, and one in Yolo-so.

Forbes, former veteran's burean head, and John W. Thompson, St. Louis contractor were seeking to spur the court into prejudice, the judge this afternoon refused to entertain a defense motion to strike out certain portions of the testimony of Ellas H. Mortimer, star witness for the government. The court ruling came as the government began calling witnesses to corroborate Mortimer's tale of bribery and corruption in the affairs of the veteran's bureau, after the judge previously had announced he would hear arguments on the motion. DENY THREAT TO BRITISH INTERESTS LONDON, Dec. 15.—The foreign office today denied that British interests were threatened as yet by the new revolt of Riff tribesmen near Tangler, England and France have entered into no agreement regarding concerted action there, the foreign office announced. However, it was believed Great Britain later may have to take a hand in the Moroccan situation, as a result of the latest outbreak a Alcazar Kiber. British rights in Tangler may be endangered by this latest aggression of the tribesmen, it was thought. The British press is playing up the new revolt as well as the heavy cost of the Spanish withdrawal from most of Morocco. The Spanish embassy today declared the revolts of the Anjera tribes was "due to propaganda from the out side which started in Egypt, spread to Tunis and now had affected 10,000 Anjera Arabs." TANGIER, Morocco, Dec. 15.—Freed from the danger of a flank attack by the Spanish retreat, the Anjera tribesmen today were in possession of the Spanish post at Alcazar Kiber. Several Spanish officers were taken prisoner in the attack Sunday and held as hostages against the possibility of reprisal by Spanish airplanes. Other posts have fallen it was reported here, and more are besieged by the tribesmen. The move has exposed 20 miles of the Tetuan-Geuta railway endangering the supply service to Tetuan. Steamers from Gibbraitar have ceased calling at the port of Tetuan, which is under rebel fire. Plain Dealer Classified Ada produce results. Try this medium. Resume Ry.
