FIRE ON TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER.
The heroism of Lieut.. Curtin and sew
eral seamen on board the torpedo boat
destroyer Lawrence at the Norfolk navy
yard yesterday saved that craft from de-
struction and probably prevented the en-
tire flotilla being blown to atoms. The
carelessness Of workman, who left
lighted candle on wooden box in the
vessels forward compartment, caused
fire that destroyed much of the Law
rence's woodwork before it was extin-
guished by Lieut.. Curtin and some sea-
men Just before the flames reached the
magazine in which great quantity OF
dynamite was stored. In their desperate
battle with the flames Lieut.. Curtin and
his men were so overcome by the smoke
that they lost consciousness after the
fight was won, and were hurried on board
the cruiser Olympia for treatment Their
condition is not serious. The fire oc-
Cured in a stuffy compartment, directly
adjoining the magazine, and had gained
considerable headway when it was dis
covered. The place was filled with a
dense smoke that baffled the efforts of
the crew and caused them to fall helpless
to the steel floor. Time and again Lieut..
Curtin plunged into the fire chamber
and emerged with the unconscious form
of seaman in his grasp. After hur-
ried resuscitation the sailor and his
officer would return to the fight, only to
again succumb to the smoke. Finally
the flames were extinguished and then
the lieutenant was missed. A sailor
plunged into the compartment and a
second later darted out with thu limp
body of the officer in his arms. Five
seamsn in similar condition, were
stretched out on deck. All we're hurried
aboard the Olympia in dry dock, and the
yard surgeon soon Brought them to con-
sciousness. The damage to the Lawrence
was trihing, but had the flames reached
the magazine the result would have been
appalling.

THE FEDERATION AND "OPEN SHOP"
At Yesterdays session Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in Boston, the
committee on resolutions made a
partial report. The resolution Of
fered by James Wilson, OF the
Pattern Makers League OF North
America, which recommended that all
the affiliated bodies pay at least 20
cents per week dues was adopted. The
resolution offered by G. A. Hohen, of
st. Louis, on the famous Miller case,
and covering the "open shop" question,
was then taken up. 1t recites that the
federation holds the open shop to be-
long to the same category as the nom
union or "scab" shop, and that it can
not be recognized by organized labor
and that this applies to the open shop
under private management as well as
the open shop under government or
public management. 1t was recon-
mended by the committee that the reso-
luton be referred back to the committee
on resolutions, and the recommendation
after some discussion was adopted. Mr..
Hohen made somewhat impassioned
speech On the question of reference, say
ing the question of the open shop was
most important one, and he thought it
had not been treated properly either in
the report of President Gompers or the
executive council. He said be could
see no reason why a "scab' shop run
by President Roosevelt is any better
than similar one run by President
Parry. of the Manufacturers Association.

A SAD DISASTER.
Big Gun on Battleship Iowa ExpIodes,
Killing Three Men and
Woundins Five.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1o.-A disas-
tleship Iowa Thursday, while the yes
sci was at the target practice in the
gulf. The forward port 12-inch gun
burst from a premature explosion of
a shell, II feet of the piece outside the
turret being demolished. Three mel
were killed and five injured, two seri-
ously.
The killed ire: First Glass Seaman
kiele, Ordinary Seaman Percell, and
Gunner's Mate Berry.
The injured: First C~lass-Seaman
Caught, Ordinary Seamen Thursdale,
Brown, Mansdale and Purcker.
The men killed and injured We're on
the second or gundeck at mess. Three
pieces Of the exploded gun, each weigh
ing over n ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing thethrce
named. All of the men were horribly
mutilated. The heavy missiles, after
passing through the gun deck, c%ontin-
ued down to the third deck, where they
came in contact with the armored deck,
the heavy steel bringing them TO a stop,
thus saving the engineers and firemen
who were at work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men,,
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
the dinner hour. The range had been
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at a speed of 12 knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reed, in charge of the forward
12-inch turret. gave orders to load and
fire. The time fuse was cut for the
range, the piece charged, breech closed
and the word given TO fire. Following
the report of the gun, there was a
smothered noise as the shell exploded
midway in the gun, and pieces of the
bursted gun and shell were scattered
broadcast. Three great holes were
torn through the deck.

COMBINE IS KILLED.
The Famous Merger of Northwestern
Railway Declared Illegnl-Gov-
rnmcn Wins Its Suit.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 10.-An inn
portant episode in the antitrust war
occurred Thursday when Judge
Thayer, of the United States circuit
court of appeals, handed down a de-
cision declaring the $500, 600 900
Northern Securities company an
illegal corporation. enjoined it from
voting stock of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad COM
panies and decreed that this stock
should be returned to the former
owners.
The decree entered in accordance
with the finding is n drastic one and
does not leave a single peg for the
great merger of the Northern Pa
cific, the Great Northern and the
Burlington to hang upon. The Ian
guage of the court is pronounced to
the effect that where lines of rail
way are parallel and competing such
q plan as that Of the Northern Sc
curities company. which places them,
under control of one management, is
is contrary to the Sherman antitrust
act and is clearly in restraint of
trade.
Despite the declarations of James
J. Hill and j. Pierpont Morgan that
another plan is ready which will
stand the test of law, general opin-
ion is that the government has sue
ceeded in giving railroad combina-
tions a straight blow between the
eyes, from which they will be un-
able to 0 Immediately upon
the delivery of the decision it was
announced that an appeal would be
taken to the United States supreme
court, but, as the four judges hear

findings it is not expected that the
court of last rest TT will interfere
with their conclusions.
