Experiments by United States With
Disease-Infected Mosquitoes.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Health Officer
Doty, whose experiments in extermi.
mating malaria by Staying mosquitoes
have given him an expert knowledge Of
the disease. bearing insects, concerning
the experiments in Havana says:
"While deeply regretting the loss of
two valuable lives in the experiments of
the United States authorities in Havana
with disease-infected mosquitoes, DOS.
itively know that they have been car
ried out in the most conservative and
scientific way, carefully and advisedly
In the best interests Of science and for
the benefit Of mankind generally.
"The two unfortunate men, and all
others who have given themselves up to
these experiments, knew in detail what
risk and danger they assumed and what
benefit they weuld derive. It is we'll
known fact, based upon long experience,
that a person once having suffered from
yellow fever is immune against a second
attack. The two dead men, and others
in order to become immune, preferred
to suffer an attack Of yellow fever COM
municated in the experimental manner
with mosquitoes than run the risk of
catchaBg the disease and take a chance
Of probable fatal results.
Another great reason for this desire
was that previous cases Of yellow fever
communicated by the infected insects
had proven very mild in form.
''The knowledge gained from these
unfortunate deaths is Of inestinable
value to the myriads of human beings
dwelling in the countries and districts
affected by yellow fever. To be of any
value to the human race, these expert
ments must be made on human bodies,
and accidents will happen.
However grievouA these may be to
the few, great benefits are conferred
upon the majority of our fellow mortals.
Vaccination may have killed many, but
how many millions have been saved
from smallpox thereby?
1.-The great point Is whether the end
justifies the means. l say, notWith-
standing the lamentable fatality, that it
does. To begin with, yellow fever is a
most uncertain disease. An eminent
physician with great experience of the
disorder once saidi
There are two kinds of yellow fe-

other where they DON'T

.HEAD-END COLLISION
ON CHICAGO TON
Four Killed In a Frightful
Wreck at Prentice.
SIX SEVERELY INJURED

One Brave Engineer Stuck to His Post
and Was Found Dead With His
Hand on the Throttle-List of the
Casualties.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21.-A special from
Jacksonville, Ills, says:
The Chicago and Alton Hummer, F"
which left Chicago at $50 last night,
was wrecked in a head-end collision
with way freight in the railroad yards
at Prentice, IL miles north of here, at
1920 a. M, killing five persons and in
juring six others.
The dead:
Con Sheehan, engineer Of the pas
senger train.
John Adams, fireman of the passen-
ger train.
Three unknown men, who were on
the tender.
The injured:
Robert Kiley, Jacksonville, injured
internally.
w. Howatt, Bloomington, fireman of
freight train, ribs crushed.
Ohar1es Marshall, st. Louis.
Charles Sims, Longdale, Ills, section
hand.
William Maron, Stuttgart, Ark.
A. L. Wood, engineer of the freight,
All the passengers escaped injury, a
few only being slightly bruised.
When the collision occurred all the
lights went out. The engines were
completely wrecked, as was also their
tenders, smoker and one freight car.
The tender of the passenger tram tele-
scoped the smoker, which rolled over
on it's side.
Just how the accident occurred may
never be known. One theory is that the
freight, which was resting on a siding
for the Hummer" to pass, gradually
slipped down on to the main track with
out the crew being aware of it.
Engineer Sheehan was found dead in
the cab with his hand on the throttle.
HIS legs were caught in the machinery
in such way that to save the body
from fire that at one time threatened
to burn the wreck, they had to be
roughly amputated

Early Resumption of Work In the
Factories Probable.
TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 21.-The ship
ments of cigars for the week which has
closed were heavier than for the week
before by about 100 cases. This is be-
cause the manufacturers are getting
more liberal with their stock on hand.
They know, reasonably, when they will
get back to work, and have not found it
necessary to husband their stock so
closely as they did the week before.
There were 302 cases shipped for the
week, while for the corresponding week
of last year there were 459 cases shipped,
a decrease of 1877 cases. The shipments
covered every quarter Of the Union.
The shipments last week contained
1850, 900 cigars, while the shipments for
the corresponding week last year num-
bered 1926, 900 cigars.
There is every assurance that the man
ufacturers will soon be ready to open,
as the workmen will have become thor
oughly dissatisfied with remaining out.
1t may be truthfully said that the men
are clamoring for work.

EXPLOSION OF GAS

Second Disaster In Cleveland
Waterw0rks Tunnel.
CRIB NUMBER 3 WRECKED

Heavy Iron Girders and Machinery
Weighing More Than 100 Tons We're
Forced Out of the Shaft by the Ex-
pIosion.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 21-As the result
of an explosion of gas in the new water
works tunnel, under Lake Erie last
night, five more lives were added to the
already long list of casualties recorded
since work begun on the great artificial
waterway.
The dead:
Ray Treadshaw.
William s. Williams
Daniel Higgins.
James Dalincourt.
John Bert.
Crib No 3, miles from shore, and ~
miles beyond crib No. 2, where about a
dozen lives were lost a week ago, was
the scene Of the last accident.
The work Of sinking the big intake
shaft at this point was completed yes
terday and five workmen were engaged
in digging a tunnel in the direction of
No. 2 crib, when the explosion occurred.
The heavy casing of the shaft was shat
tered by the force of the explosion and
the water from the lake rushed in upon
the workmen at the bottom. The two
men at work at the top of the shaft
were blown high into the air, but
alighted on the crib and, beyond being
stunned, were not seriously injured.
The accident occurred early last night,
but nothing was known of it on shore
until today.
Spent Night Vainly Signalling.
Thirty men, who were on the crib
when the explosion took place, spent
the night vainly signalling for assist
anCe. 1t was long after daylight be-
fore a tug reached them. It is supposed
that the men digging struck vein of
gas, which was ignited by spark made
by wOrkman's pick. Heavy iron gir-
ders and machinery weighing more
than 100 tons were forced out of the
staff by the explosion, and the crib was
wrecked. Death must have been in
Simultaneous, for their comrades above
heard no OutCry.
So great was the destruction wrought
by the explosion that it will probably
be weeks before the damage can be re-
paired and the bodies of the unfortu-
nate men recovered.
James Williams, who lost his life in
last nights accident, was one of the
men who heroically entered the tunnel
after the accident of last week at crib
No 2 in search of victims of that disas.
ter.
Plummer Jones, who at that time de-
ir% cl,
was overcome with gas and died in the
tunnel
Mayor Johnson visited the scene of
the accident last Saturday and immedi-
ately on his return ordered all construc-
tiOn work on the tunnel stopped until
every safeguard shall be provided for
the protection of the men. The mayor
said that in his opinion the city was
now justified in taking the work out of
the hands of the contractors, and that
if possible this would be done.
