DYNAMITED MUCK
DAM: 19 KILLED
(By Associated Press)
BRISTOL. Va., Jan. 19.—Roy Pat
rick. aged 27, was arrested here to
day, charged with having caused the
lime muck flood at Saltville, Va.,
which caused the death of 19 persons.
He is alleged to have dynamited the
dam because Supt. Mathieson refused
him a job on the alkali works.
Nearly two score persons were kill
ed and more than 20 so seriously in
jured they will be crippled for life,
when the dam broke and let a flood
of muck lime crush the town of Salt
ville, Va. Many persons in the hos
pital are suffering from eye burns,
caused by the lime and will become
blind as a result of their injuries. The
huge lake of muck lime wTas held in
by a dam in the llolsten River. When
the dam was dynamited the lime
swept down upon a dozen houses in
the little valley at the edge of town.
Houses were crushed like stacks of
cards, and autos on the streets were
buried. Those who were caught in
the flood had no chance to escape ow
ing to the thickness of the muck.

AMERICAN THINKERS GIVE
VIEWS OUTLOOK OF FUTURE
__
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, I). C., Jan. Ifr..—
The Berliner Tageblatt is publish
1 ing in its New Year’s edition a sym
{ posium of views from American pub
lic officials, bankers and others re
flecting opinion in this country as
to what prospects the future holds
for Germany under the Dawes plan
for reparation settlement.
The fifteen contributors to the
symposium, compiled here on the
basis of an inquiry addressed to Ger
many’s outlook and cables to the
Berlin paper, include Secretary Mel
lon, Chairman Borah of the senate
foreign relations committee and
Bernard M. Baruch, who helped
frame the economic clauses of the
Versailles treaty.
Secretary Mellon views the Dawes
plan as having affected “the growth
of a new menial attitude and out
look on the part of the people of
Germany and all of Europe.” He
sees its removal of uncertainty as
having already brought a “certain
sense of relief,” and a return to
something of old-time industrial vig
or and thrift” of Germany.
Senator Borah, regarding the
Dawes plan as “only a step” in set
tlement of the reparation problem,
declares “no plan can ever be suc
cesful until the final amount is ad
justed,” and that it is vital that this
amount be “fixed and fixed within
reason.”
Mr. Borah believes that with the
world turning definitely toward re
construction, the new Germany “will
be of the greatest assistance in
bringing Russia back to this at
mosphere of peace and work.’
Tomorrow night’s show at the Lib
erty theater will be one of the best
shown for some time. “Anna Chris
tie,” the play that was awarded the
Pulitzer prize last year, will be fea
tured. This is a sea story, eight
reels in length, and will be a win
ner. Tonight “The Leather Push- ♦
ers” series, “Swing Bad, the sailor”
will be shown for the last time, to
gether wih a five reel comedy fea
ture, “Bellboy 13.”
