Brooklyn, exploded while approxim-
ately one hundred men were working
on the craft.
Ambulance and Red Cross workers
were rushed to the scene from aU
parts of the city.
Fire apparatus raced to the scene
when it was reported that five other
steamers in the yard had been en
dangered by the explosion. The ves-
ting had rendered an opinion holding
that it was his ministerial duty to cer-
tify the levy passed by the majority
of the board of equalization and that
he had no authority to consider the
legality of the board's action.
Freeling did not discuss the figures
upon which the majority members of
the board based their contention that
a levy is neceb*>ary or the other fig-

only that the auditor had no power to

Contention Not Reversed, Carter Says.
"So long as he holds it is my duty
to certify out the levy, I acquiese."
Carter said. "I shall send out. the

Board Determined Necessity.
Freeling's opinion advised Carter as
follows:
"It was the duly of the state board
of equalization under the law to con-
sider the data with reference to the
finances of the state and make such
tax levy as in its judgment would
meet the requirement ,q of the slate

BIG CLOTHING REDUCTION
Spring Prices to Be Very Much
Lower Than Estimated.
As the price of meat soars upward,
many people are forced to be part-
time vegetarians. Thus the old ques-
tion. "Is meat essential to human well-
being?" arises again. The commit-
tee on fwd and nutrition of the Na-
tional Research council has issued an
interesting report on the relative value
of meat and milk.
Eighteen per cent of the protein and
energy of grain used in feeding a cow
goes into the milk, and is therefore
recovered for human consumption;
whereas only three and a half per cent
Js recovered In beef. As for the min-
eral elements in hay and grain, not
much is stored in the tissues, but a
great amount goes into milk.
Beef profiteers, beware! The hard-
pressed public may decide to let milk
take the place of beefsteak.—Popular
