A disastrous explosion occurred on

ing the three named. All of the men
were horribly mutilated. The heavy
missiles. after passing through the
gun deck. continued down to the
third deck, where they came in con-
tact with the armored deck. the heavy
steel bringing them to stop, thus
saving the engineers and flremen who
were at work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men,
no one there was seriously injured.
Firing was to have ceased after the
shot for the dinner hour. The range
had been set and the Iowa was
steaming along at speed of 12 knots

of the forward Pinch 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. Those who were below be-
gan coming on deck. some bloody and
mutilated, while lying on the floor,
crushed almost beyond recognition,
were three men. The Massachusetts.
six miles distant, was slgnaled for
aid, and one of the cutters put off with
the surgeon and assistants. The
wounded men were taken to the hos
pital and their injuries dressed The
dead were taken to Pensacola. Some
claim the explosion was caused by a
defective shell. and others think that
the frequent firing of the piece at Gu
Zebra during the winter, added with
the work done during the past 10 days
so strained the riece'that the force of
the charge bursted the gun.

PRESIDENT VISITS HIS OLD HOME.
MEET "GREAT FATHER"
Is An Honored Guest at the Place
Where He Was Sheriff Sixteen
Years Ago.

President Roosevelt Travelled through
familiar country Monday, April 8, and
received hearty greetings wherever his
train stopped. At many places he rec
ognized old friends, and from his con
versatlon II was evident that this has
been one of the most enjoyable days
of his trip. At Fargo. jamestown and
Bismarck, N. d., lie made stops OF
from half an hour to an hour, and dis.
cussed the conditions In the Philip
pines, the tariff, and the general pros.
| perity of the country. Stops were also
made at Casselton Tower, Valley City,
the home of Governor White; Dawson,
Dickin and Medora. In the private Of
| lice of Governor White at Bismarck
President Roosevelt received the as
surance of the friendship and support
of the great Sioux Indian tribe and
similar assurances from the chiefs
of the Mandans and Grosventres. John
Grass, the orator and chief justice of
the Sioux, made the presentation of
the tribes good will, In a translation
OF the address. which had been agreed
upon In council of the chiefs. At the
same time Grass presented the Pres
ident a peace pipe of beautifully carv-
ed pipestone. Among the chiefs pres
ent were Red Tomahawk, the Indian
who killed Sitting Bull at the time of
the uprising in the early nineties; Red
Fish, one of the hereditary leaders of
the Sioux; Black Bull. Standing Bear,
Crow Ghost, Cross Bear and other
Sioux chiefs. The most interesting
ceremony of the day occurred at Me-
dora. where the President at one
time owned q ranch, and which was
his postoflice address 1G years ago
when he was sheriff of Billings coun-
". Medora Is q small place but the
ranchmen from the surrounding coun-
try had come into town, and they gave
the President a truly Western recep-
tion. Joe Ferris, the Presidents old
foreman, and his brother, S. M. Ferris,
met the President at Bismarck and
rode with him to Medora At Fargo
the principal address of the day was
made by President Roosevelt. The
President began with reference to
promises to the Fllipinos made by
President Mckinley and declared they
were now In the realm of positive per-
Torrance. He said this government
could not abandon the islanders and
added: when, by last July, the last
vestlge of organized insurrection had
disappeared, peace and amnesty were
proclaimed. AS rapidly as the mill
tary rule was extended over the is
lands by the defeat of the insurgents,
just so rapidly was II replaced by the
civil government. At the present time
the civil government is supreme and
the army in the Philippines has been
reduced until 1t is sufficient merely
to provide against the recurrence of
trouble"

RED CROSS UP IN ARMS.
Presidents Sister and Ex-Secretary
Foster Among Those Thrown Out
by Miss Barton's Faction.

Factional troubles in the Red Cross
Society which led to the temporary
expulsion by the executive committee
of those members who oppose the ad.
ministration of Miss Clara Barton will
likely result in the organization of an
other society that will demand recog-
milton as the official Red Cross Society.
Among the expelled members are
John w. Foster. former secretary of
state; Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Cowles,
President Roosevelts sister; Thomas
Walsh, the Colorado mine owner;
Hilary Herbert. former secretary of
the navy and William H. Michael.
chief clerk of the state department.
The executive committee notified the
expelled members that an opportunity
would be given them to show cause
why their suspension should not be
made permanent. Those interviewed
declared emphatically that the action
ot the executive committee will be ig-
nored for the reason that the commit
tee is an Illegal body. Granting. how
ever, that it is legal they said the COM
mittee has no power to expel any
member for the causes recited. The
position of the expelled members was
stated by Mr.. Michael: "All that we
demand" said he, "ls that the Red
Cross Society be conducted upon a
business basis. The president and
members of the cabinet, who. by yir.
tue of their positions, are members.

PENkELL IS PROVEN A DEFAULTER
REVEALED BY A WILL.
Alleged to Have Suuandered over
100000 Placed In His Hands
For Investment.

A story was set afoat in Buffalo. ~
Y. April 9Th. that Arthur II. Pennell,
who. with his wife, was killed in an
automobile disaster on March 10, and
who was named In murdered Edwin l..
Burdick's divorce suit as corresponding
was a deiaulter to the extent of from
$150000 to 100000. The story leaked
out because of a legal dispute over two
life Insurance policies. and is that Pen
nell induced friends in the East. who
had known his family and the family
of his wife. to place money in his
hands Tor investment as their financial
agent. He would inform them of some
good Investment which he had come
across which would pay an excellent
rate OF interest, and they would send
him money. The money, which was
sent TO him for investment, II is al
legged, he spent, and when interest
payments fell due he made the pay
ments out of his own pocket, Wallace
Thayer. Pencils attorney and init
mat2 friend. Is referred TO as saying
he had suspected Irregularities, but
that he had no proof of any such
wrong-doing. Pennel made provision
for the payment to Mrs Edwin l.. Bur
dick, of $4,000 out of his life insur-
ance. Pennell carried over 100000
life insurance. so that after his death
the Eastern estates to which he is al
legged to have been a defaulter might
be able to recoup the losses which they
had sustained through him In his will
Pennell named as administrator of his
estate his brother. j. Frederick Pen
nell. He left to his administrator
sealed instructions that upon his death
he should make good in full out of his
estate all the losses which had been
sustained through his dofalcations.
There were two lie policies which
had not been handed over to the ad-
minlstrator. One was for $4,000 and
the other for $4,000, ana had been as
signed by Pennell to Thayer in trust.
In one he referred to wallace Thayer
trustee" and in the other to wallace
Thayer, as trustee" The insurance
companies took legal counsel and held
up payment. J. Frederick Pennel in
sisted on having more information be-
fore he would consent to the payment
OF any insurance money to Mr. Thayer
as trustee. 1t was then that the story
of Pencils alleged defalcations and
his plans to commit suicide were made
known. The $4,000 insurance money
assigned to Thayer by Pennell in trust
is supposed to be paid over TO Mrs
Burdick in accordance with the bond
for $4,000 which Pennell gave prior
to his death.

Mans Unconscious Reasoning.

Two men stood waiting for Harlem
train at Park place. 81 want to show
you a peculiar result of mans uncon.
scious reasoning said one. "Stand
here and watch the people buy their
tickets. There are two ticket sellers
one on the right hand and the other on
the left. Now see which one sells more
tickets"
Three persons struggled up the steps
and all went to the right-hand win
dow.
Then came four In group. Three
of them went to the right-hand win
dow. and the fourth would have done
the same, only seeing that he would
have to wait, he turned and bought his
ticket of the man on the left.
In a few moments the score stood
eleven to two.
maybe you didn't notice it," said
the man, but when you came in you
went to the right and / went to the
left"
did you do 1t purposelyT"
mot at all. l am left-handed II
Is simply case of unconscious reason
Ing that amounts TO instinct Being
right-handed. You hold the coin In your
right hand. II you go to the right
hand window you can put in your coin
and scarcely stop walking. That will
save time. If. however, you go TO the
left-hand window you must stop and
turn half way about in order 10 put
down the coin and take up the ticker.
Now there goes 4 left-handed man
to the left-hand window. How do !
know he's left-hanied? Because hf
took his money from his left-hand
pocket. Went to the left-hand window
and shifted his paper to his right hand
in order to use his left."-New Yorkl
