Mambcr of Organization Talks of
Extenslva Operation.
Council Bluffs, la., Nov. 6. Eddie K.
Morris, the prizefighter who was re
leased from the county jail, where he
has been held since his arrest at the
doors, of the federal prison at 'Leaven
worth, talked freely of the workings of
the Mabray organization, of which he
was a member during its existence.
Morris and Mabray, the man from
whom the swindle syndicate got Its
name and who was released from pris
on at the same time that Morris gained
his temporary liberty, have been doing
some figuring and Morris says that the
syndicates which have been operating
throughout America during recent
years on plans similar to that of the
Mabray organization, have cleaned up
more than $30,000,000. Morris de
clares this Is a conservative estimate
based upon Information that he and
Mabray possessed of the workings of
the syndicates.
Asked about the Mabray syndicate,
Morris said that In the three and one
half years that It operated In Council
Bulffs. Denver, St. Louis and New Or

A MENACE TO OIL SHIPS.
The Deadly Vapor That Stays After
the Petroleum Is Gone.
The explosion of vessels carrying pe
troleum frequently occurs, nnd this is
generally caused not by the cargoes of
oil which they contain, but by the In
flammable vapor which is left behind
after the huge lauks of the ships have
been emptied.
It is difficult to remove all the oil
that adheres to the sides of the tank,
and the evaporation of the oil film
left In them after they have been
pumped out takes place with great
rapidity. Moreover, the vapor thus
formed mingles readily with the air
and Is capable of rendering more than
2,0(K) times its own volume of the for
mer inflammable. A spark may thus
cause a fearful explosion in the hold
of a ship that is apparently empty.
A film of petroleum spreading over
the surface of the water has been
known to produce enough of this vola
tile and dangerous vapor to cause a
conflagration, by which a number of
ships lying In a harbor have been sud
denly enwrapped In roaring flames as
if by a stroke of magic.
In some parts of the world, as at
Baku, the center of the Russian petro
leum trade, a film of oil continually
covers the wnter for n considerable
distance from shore, and warnings of
the danger there bare more than ouce
been given. Exchange.

reason for the remarkable difference

cause of this Is evident in the more
