were the only officers absent at the meet
Ing of the Benning Citizens Association
when 1t was called to order last evening by
Vice President Mewshaw. After the road

report. through Mr.. France, and then. on
motion, the question of appointing a COM
mittee to prepare suitable entertainment
for the night when the association is to
dedicate the new town hall was taken up
and disposed of.
Mr.. France favored giving an entertain
ment exclusively for the benefit of men,
bers of the association and their families
ana for a few invited guests from other
associations He also opposed charging an
admission fee. The vice president favored
charging admission 20 the end that fund
might be raised by the association for the
purpose of assisting worthy people of Ben
hing during the coming winter He thought
the Benning Association should take the
lead in this matter, and set good example
for sister associations. Messrs. Boland
Wood and Broome opposed .he admission
fee plan, and finally, on motion, 1t was de-
cided to appoint committee Of seven to
prepare a suitable entertainment at the
expense of the association on the night
when the new hall is to be dedicated, prob
ably about the 18th Of Juno.
A motion to make Vice President New
shaw chairman Of said committee was on
motion, declared lost. and the chair then
appointed said entertainment COMMITTEES
Messrs. G. W. Barnes. T. T. Clark. Levi T.
Baker J. NJ Wood, John Boland, N. KEEPER
and J. w. France.
The chair then instructed the hall COM
mttee to see about securing the new tow n

had been chief engineer on the F. X and
N. r. X. One letter found on him was
signed Clara" and asked him for an eN-
PLANTATION of his silence, saying she has

INDIAN HEAD TESTS,
Foreign Officers to BE Debarred From
Witnessing Expcriments.

At nearly all the tests at Indian Head
and other places where experiments are
conducted upon armor, shells and guns.
officers Of foreign navies and armies have
been admitted. Objections have been made
to this by both branches of the service on
the ground that the United States Is OK
pending many millions in making war ma
terials and that foreign governments have
been enabled to procure information con-
corning these materials without expense
1t has also been pointed out that foreign
governments are in the habit of guarding
very jealousy their own experiments of
this kind, SO as to prevent other nations
for the first time the Navy Department
adopted new rule. The ordnance officers
were making some most Interesting ex-
periments to determine the question as to
whether a bursting shell could be shot
through an armor plate representing the
sides of one of the best of the modern
battleships. and second, just what the
effect of the bursting of such a shell would
be on the interior of a ship after penetra-
tion as shown by Its explosion In a cham
Der specially prepared to represent the
almor-inclosed sides of ship. AS usual
applications were made by the military at
sizes here for permission to witness the ex-
periments, but Assistant Secretary McAdoo
was obliged to deny the applica lions
Hereafter these officers will be obliged to
acquire information as to the results Of
experimental tests from the Official re-
ports which the ordnance officers may think
1t prudent to make public.

Figures Tell.

Since the introduction of Cod
liver Oil into the treatment of
consumption, the average life
of patients has increased from
two to eight years. The num-
Der of cases cured in the early
stages of the disease has multi
piled, and physicians now assert
that consumption can almost al
ways be averted if good care and
treatment are begun in time.
Cod-liver Oil ought always to
be a part of the treatment, and
1t should be taken in the form
of SCOTS Emulsion, which is
palatable and does not derange
digestion. SCOTS Emulsion is
in every way superior to plain
oil. Don't accept a substitute!

FOURTEEN WE'RE KILLED.
Terrific Explosion ut Powder Works
In California.

Terrific Explosion ut Powder Works
in California.
The nitro-glycerine house of the Cali
fornia powder works at Pinole, Cal, blew
up yesterday, killing five white men and
wounding two others. Nine Cinnamon We're
killed and three others injured.
The explosion occurred in the nitro-gly-
cerine house and was probably caused Ly
the Chinese dropping a can of the explo-
sive. The cause cannot be definitely ascer-
building are dead.
There We're 200 Chinese in the adjacent
mixing room, and at the sound of the ex-
ploSfon all ran.
The force of the explosion was tremen-
dous. Huge pieces of wood were thrown
into the bay, a distance of half a nile
and nitro-glycerine tanks were hurled a
distance of 500 yards.
Hands, legs and other parts of the mutt
lated remains of the dead were scattered
along the road for mile
The nitro-glycerine house first went up
then the mixing storehouse and gun co ton
house followed. The nitro-glycerine house
of which not vestige now remains, was
a three-story frame structure, 1,200 by so
feet. 1t contained 1000 pounds of Hercules
powder.
A remarkable feature of the explosion
Is that although the storehouse is COM
pletely wrecked it's contents are intact
In all, 1000 pounds of explosives went
up with a roar and a sheet of flame.
