NEW LAUNCH DESTROYED,
The Naphtha Tank Exploding
Wrecks and Sets Fire
to the Vessel.
One of the Young Men on Board Is
Frightfully Burned and
May Die.

| An explosion occurred at the hay wharf
at the foot of Third and Berry streets yes
terday morning which resulted in the de-
struction of a handsome gasoline launch,
and badly burned three young men. Had
it not been for the prompt response of the
fire department. the entire wharf and
adjacent shipping might have been swal-
lowed in the flames.
The launch was built by Boatbuilder
John F. Twigg and was only put in the
water on Friday night. Timothy Twigg, a
son of the builder, young man named
Lennox and another named Frank Fitz-
patrick were left in the boat all night to
watch it.
About $50 yesterday morning a sheet of
flame shot up from the boat. There was a
report like the explosion of a cannon and
the next moment the young men were
struggling in the water badly burned and
scared. Lennox and young Twigg struck
out for the la nding steps and Fitzpatrick
attempted to follow them. Had not assist
ance reached him he would have persisted.
His face was fri ghtfully scalded and his
hair singed close to the scalp
Twigg and Lennox were removed to their
homes and Fitzpatrick was taken to the
Receiving Hospital.
The pretty little launch was soon mass

spreading to the wharf

LITTLE CITY FARMS.
The Co-ope rative Commonwealth Wants
to Start Truck Gardens on Vacant
City Lots.

Articles of incorporation OF the "Co-
operative Commonwealth, Cooperative
Association were filed with the County
Clerk yesterday.
The leaders of the association are prepar-
ing to open a new field of industry for
their fellow workers. It is to be system
of agriculture on vacant City lots, if the
lots can be secured either free or at low
rental. This is what is generally known
as the Detroit plan. In the city of Detroit
there are many acres of vacant lots under
cultivation by commonwealers, who make
good living and healthy surplus by
raising vegetables of all kinds right in the
city. Mrs. Addie Swain, one of the organ
izers of the local association, yesterday
said:
ave have been informed that Mayor
Sutro may give us the use of some land
free-possibly as much as 200 acres-but
nothing definite has been done as yet. We
shall try to secure the use of vacant lots in
all parts of the city, and when we get them
we will ask the Spring Valley Water Com
pany to donate the water necessary for ir-
rigation. If we can't get the water
for nothing, we will get it at the
lowest possible rates. We now have about
forty men who are looking for work of
any kind"
There will be labor mass-meeting in
old ST. Markus Church to-day at 8 P. NJ.

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
Two Swedish Girls Nearly Suffocated
at the American Exchange
Hotel.

Two young Swedish girls, Tilder and
Hildy Hokason, were very near becoming
subjects for Coroners jury last Wednes-
day night. 1t was the old story of blow
ing out the gas, though both the girls deny
this.
The Misses Hokason arrived from Chi
cago last Wednesday and the brother not
meeting them, as promised, they engaged
room at the American Exchange Hotel.
The young ladies were cautioned about the
gas, but they evidently did not understand,
or else turned the gas only half off, for
arb out II O'Clock groans were heard coming
from their room, and the odor of gas was
plainly noticeable throughout the house.
The door was broken open and one of the
young ladies was found lying across the
bed unconscious, and the other blindly
feeling her way around the room in vain
endeavor to find the door.
A physician was called, and after several
hours vigorous work succeeded in bring
ing the young girls back to consciousness
and life. Had they been left alone ten
minutes longer they would unquestionably
have suffocated.
The brother OF the young girls called
next morning and the meeting between
them was happy one. The young ladies
are almost direct from Sweden.

TELEPATHY AMONG INSECTS.
Certain of the Senses Appear to Be Be-
yond Human Comprehension.

Certain of the Senses Appear to Be Be-
yond Human Comprehension.
Can it be that bugs are endowed with
wonderful sixth sense? Professor G. Y.
Riley thinks he has discovered satisfactory
evidence OF telepathy among insects-that
is to say, sixth sense by which they are
able to communicate ideas from one to an
other at great distances. The power, as
illustrated in the case about to be men
toned, evidently depends not upon sight,
or smell, or hearing. The fact that man
is able to transmit sound by telegraph al
most instantaneously around the globe
may suggest something of this subtle
power, even though it furnishes no expla-
nation thereof.
Concerning the ordinary senses of in
sects comparatively little is known. Most
OF them certainly see we'll, the eyes of
many species being far more elaborate
than those of human beings. The eyes of
common house flies and dragon flies are
believed to be better fitted than the human
eye for observing objects in motion, though
these creatures are short-sighted 1t may
be reasonably supposed that insects possess
taste, Judging from the discrimination
which they exercise in the choice of their
food.

others. Most insects seem to be dear 10
the sounds which are heard by human
beings. AT the same time there is no
question that they produce SOUNDS ana
hear sounds that are entirely beyond our
own range of auditory perception. SIR
John Lubbock has said that we can no
more form an idea of these SOUNDS tnan we
should have been able to conceive an notion H
of red or green if the human race had been
blind. The air is doubtless often vocal with
the sounds made by insects OF SO high a
pitch as to be entirely out OF range OF mans
power to hear. Certain senses in insects
appear to be beyond comprehension. The
neuters among the ants known as ter
mites are blind, and can have no sense of
light while burrowing; yet they will re-
duce beam of wood or an a, elaborate piece
gnawing through to the surface. An
analogy is found among cnggn mammals h1iad.a bat

two men were killed by Japs who lived

Enrico Morasco is 81 years old and is
booked for a peaceful exit on the 7th OF

an innocent man. Morasco was working
for man at Vacaville, when third man

him for a bottle of wine. Morasco de-
clined at first, but was persuaded to play
He won the wine and made the other man
angry, whereupon, in the language OF
Morasco, whose rapidity of pronunciation
is as creased lightning is to the movement
of an OK team, the other man jumped on
the table, smashed the dishes, the lamp,
Morasco's head and everything else In
sight. The boss came in and told Morasco
that he was too good a man to fight.
Morasco took his word for it, and went to
bed Here follows Morasco's account of
the conclusion: The next evening the
same mean man came back for another
row. He put butcher-knife to Morasco's

blood run in rivers, and declared that be

One man was very pompous and couldn't

CIGAR-MAKERS' CAMPAIGN
Representative Union Men VIII
Visit All Local Cigar
Dealers

The union cigar-makers in this city, sup
ported by the recently organized State
Blue Label League, are preparing for an
active campaign in favor of home industry
and white union labor.
The. agitation committee of the Cigar
makers International Union No. 22S held
ameeting last Friday night and discussed
various plans of attack. 1t was finally de-
cided to appoint a committee of two,
whose duty it shall be to visit all the cigar
stores in San Francisco and interview the
proprietors with view of urging them to
patronize home production. The COM
mittee consists of T. F. Burns, president
of the league, and w. E. Kelley. These
gentlemen will begin their labors to-mor-
row morning. They propose to put the
'cigar-dealers on record for or against Cali
fornia white la bor-made cigars.
The constitution of the label league is
now in the hands of the printer and will
be ready for distribution in few days.
Copies will be sent to all unions in the
State, which will then formally ratify the
proceedings of the late Cigar-makers'
Convention and indorse the blue label.

Chinese Mourning.

A traveller gives the following description
of Chinese mourning: The widow, sitting
down on the grave, commences a low, pitt.
full wailing. Though the ceremony is
something theatrical, this voice of mourn
ing is inexpressively sad. Gradually she
works herself up into a pitch of apparent
agony, throws herself prone on the grave,
weeping and wailing and calling on the
dead by every endearing name. Her cries
re-echo from hill to hill; they certainly are
most distressing to us, the unwilling hear
ers. By the time one might suppose her
to be stupefied with crying and her head
splitting with pain, neat young woman
dies her dress, and the two walk off to-
gether chatting che erily.-Montreal Star

same policy has been pursued time
out of mind to avoid indictment by
the grand jury. The committee
states, however, that it has ascer-
tanned that gambling is carried on
in several places, which it mentions
specifically. 1t says that these es-
Establishments are well patronized by
people assumed to be reputable. And
it's conclusion is that no inquiry or
series of Investigations can be eff
fective in putting an end to the
evil. Nothing will do that but sys-
tematic police raids at unexpected
times, with the confiscation of. gam
bling outfits wherever found This
makes the business a losing one, and
the proprietors hasten to get out
if it,
The upshot Of this report is simply
what everybody has long known to
be true; that gambling cannot exist
IN any city where the authorities
are determined to put an end to it.
1t is not a difficult matter ever to
ascertain the facts. If a gambling
place is open to public patronage at
all, it cannot be kept a secret. Where
a committee of the grand jury, or
one of the houses of the council, or
a newspaper reporter finds no diff
Guilty in gaining admittance and OBJ
tanning particular information, it is
certain that an organized detective
force cannot be baff1ed or led astray,
IT, then, gambling exists in any city
for any length of time, it must be
with the tacit consent or by reason of
the Indifference of the authorities.
They can stamp it out at their pleas
ure. That an immense majority of
all law-abiding citizens desire and
demand that this shall be done has
never been open to any question.
