Pekin, IlL., Jan. 5.-(By AP)--The
death today of two of the men ser-
iously injured in the explosion and
fire at the Corn Products company
plant here early Thursday increased
to eight the number of known dead.
Twenty four or twenty five workmen
are missing. No bodies were recov-
ered today, searchers being handi-
capped by the severe weather. Only
two victims have been removed from
the wreckage, both being brought out
yesterday.
Federal investigation scheduled to
begin today was postponed until to-
morrow pending the arrival of E. J.
Price, dust explosion expert of Wash-
ington. Until he arrives, superintend-
ent B. H. Lawtoni, of the plant, said
there would be no attempt made to re-
pair an official explanation of the ex-
plosion and estimate of property
damage.
Doctor F. C. Gale, company physi-
cian, denied the report that most of
the 18 workmen at the Pekin hospital
would lose their eye sight. All ex-
cept two have good chances to re-
cover, he said.

EXPECT COMMITTEE TO
UPHOLD ADMINISTRATIONi
Lansiv, Mich., Jan. 5.-Indorsement
of the Coolidge Administration isl
possible at a meeting of the republi-i
can state central commttee to be -held
in Grand Rapids Friday.
At that time the committee will fix
the time and place for the spring con-
vention that will select the 33 delegates1
to the national convention at Cleve-
land in June.
As yet there is no definite indica-I
tion of the committee taking such'
action, but it is being talked over by
various members. In several states thej
republican state committees have re-
gently indorsed the Coolidge admin-
istration. Such a move is considered
tantamount to indorsing President
Coolidge for renomination.
Fred W. Green, of Ionia; chairman
of the republican state central com-
-mittee, writes that there is no founda-
tion for the reports that he is backing'

both Governor Albert E. Sleeper for
United States Senator and Herbert F
Baker for Governor. Says Mr. Green:
"I tam taking no part in the can-
didacy of either of these men. I am
a friend of each, and, as a friend
have urged Mr. Sleeper not to be al
candidate for Senator, and am still
hopeful that he will listen to this
advice.
"I have not decided who to supportI
for Governor. I have, however, pro-I
gressed farenugh 'to say that I am
opposed to i t hir d term for Gov. Alex-

INVIDDIE LaS WORK
OF HEALTH SOITION
Washington, Jan. 6.-With the pub-
lication here today of its first annual
report, prepared by Courtenay Dinwid-
die, general executive, the American
chid health association ,which was
formed a year ago under the presi-
dency of Herbert Hoover, definitely
takes its place as one of the most pro-
gressive health agencies ever formed
in this country.
Formed by an amalgamation of the
American child hygiene association
and the child health organization of
America, the American child health
association began its career last Jan-
uary. Inheriting a yearly expendit-
ure of $200,000, it now plans for serv-
ice requiring an outlay of $425,000. In
support of such a budget it has al-
ready doubled its membership.
BRITAIN ESTRANGED BY

London, Jan. 5.-War between Brit-
ain and Afghanistan with probable
intervention of soviet Russia on the
side of Afghanistan, is now threaten-
ed as the result of murders of Brit-
ish officers and their wives by Af-
ghanistan bandits on the border be-
tween India and Afghanistan.
An ultimatum has been sent by
Britain to the amir of Afghanistan,
warning him that diplomatic relations
will be broken off unless he catches
and punishes these bandits. The amir
has done little, however, despite the
fact it is generally believed it would !
be easy for him to apprehend the
criminals.
