Hoc. 20 Investigation of the mute of the explosion In the Nw York Central power house yesterday, which resulted In ten death, the Injury of more than 100 person and a money low estimated at upwards of 12.000 000, was con tinued with eeal today by city and county authorities.. . Although the exast source of the disaster haa not been determined. It may be found that a handful of sand or the different plnc'riK of a timber pile would havt saved the city from the shock and tremendous damage of the explosion. It Is generally conceded that the first cause of the up heaval was a runaway train of electric cars In the Central cut near Fiftieth street and Lexington avenue, that crashed over a bumper against th power house, brol'e a feed pipe and caused a large quantity of gas to accumulate In the power house basement. This was detonated, possibly by an elec tric spark from a short circuit. The mo torman of the train. Albert Seagroett, was unable to. stop the ears in time to avoid their disastrous crash Into the bumper. Investigation by Coroner Holtzhauser and the other authorities, who are making In dependent, inquiries, Is proceeding with a view to dve'.ormc the circumstances of the first hmk lh'the feed pipe, the time which elapsed between this 'rupture and the explosion.1 thei preventive means em ployed to avoid an explosion, und all other details. . i .- Searching: the Hulns.

How President Ferls. .Senator Brown, who has had a number of talks with the president regarding Judicial places to be filled, said today that I ho president was looking for fitness primarily and that he desired to promote Judges who had distinguished themselves by their decision, by their broadness of culture and by their Judicial attainment to higher places, which accounted most largely for the promotion of Judge' Van Devanter and others of clroult or district benches. Where' the president could not find a judge who measured up to the re quirements that he laid down he would seek In a distinguished lawyer those qual ifications that would make for an up right and Impartial Judge, the appointment of Mr. Justice Hughes being an example on kind. Of Mr. Iearned. Senator Brown spoke In most enthusiastic terms. Hs said he had all the requisites of a great jurist and that In event Judge Calkins would not be considered In connection with the Van Devanter vacancy, he would pull i rung for Myron Learned, because hs re garded him as one of the very best equipped men In the whole commonwealth f Nebraska for such an office. The Iowa delegation are split up, which Is not In any wise presented as new and startling news, Into two samps, Individual members of the delegation urging upon the president the appointment, of Judges Deemer and MacLean for the vacancy on the circuit bench.

IX, who Is a candidate to succeed Judge Van Devanter, Is In Wash ington for the purpose of furthering his own candidacy, and this Is only the begin ning of what the president will be up against In the next few weeks, for It Is understood that nothing will be done to fill the vacancy until alter congress is again In session on Capitol HUI.

Dec. 20.-(Speclal-A good deal of Interest Is manifested over the injury to Oscar Myhre. which occurred on Saturday.

New excitement In the saloon fight here Is aroused today In a dispute over the length of time that Is given for securing with drawals. Borne contend this privilege' Is extended only ten days after the petition Is filled and others maintain withdrawals can be made until the board of supervisors canvasses the petition. Mr. Wright of the Anti-Saloon league, holds a supreme court decision gives only ten days from the time of filing. The mulct law has no stipulation concerning this matter, Ic Is asserted. If only ten days are allowed, the Civic league has only four more days for ac tivity, and many feels this means failure of the anti-saloon cause. On the other hand, If they can work until the petition Is psssed upon, they have until January 14, as the board of supervisors have set that day for the canvass. The question is being investigated. Today the liberal league, representing the saloon faction, publishes Its willingness to pay the expenses of a special election on the saloon question, to be held January S, with secret ballot It states that 1,400 voter will vote yes. Including many not on the petition because they feared personal polit ical or financial danger. Foar Accidents at Marshall tenn.
