HEPBURN PREDICTS PEACE.
Says There Will be no Quarrel Over
the Platform

Washington. April 1O.-Congressman
Hepburn arrived in Washington yes
terday morning from Iowa, where he
has been for three weeks. He says
vegetation is practically as far advan-
ced there as in Washington. He says
the conditions point to magnificent
crops. Colonel Hepburn said that he
did not care to discuss the Iowa polit-
ical situation in detail, but speaking
generally, he said the republican party
is in splendid condition, and predicted
the state convention would be a har-
monious gathering, and that no fric-
ton would develop over the platform.
Colonel Hepburn said that he would
return to Iowa April 15. to attend the
good roads meeting in Des Moines. He
will join the presidential party at Shen-
andoah early in the morning of April
2S, and remain while the president Is in
his district. The president is expected
to remain half an hour in Clarinda,
leaving the train and viewing the city,
which is Hepburn's home. Fifteen min
ute stops and short speeches will be
made at Shenandoah. VanWert and Os-
ceola but the president will not leave
the train. April % Colonel Hepburn
will go to st. Louis, to attend the Ma
tional Good Roads convention.
1t is reported that Mr.. Thummell.
son-i law of Mr.. Hepburn. Is to be
appointed one Of the general appraisers
of the port of New York, as soon as a
vacancy expected materializes. That
position is for life and pays a salary
of $1,000 annually Several ex-con-
gressmen pulled hard for the place, but
Colonel Hepburn held the winning
card.
Secretary Shaw says all the reports
as to the shifting of Assistant Secre-
tary Armstrong to the position now
filled by Allies are pure speculation.
The matter has not been determined.
II is said that Secretary Shaw has de-
cided upon his new private secretary
but the name will not be given out for

MONSTER CANNON ExpLoDEs.
Twelve Inch Gun on 8attIeship Iowa
Kills Three Men.

Twelve. inch Gun on 6attteShlp iowa
Kills Three Men.
Pensacola, Fla, April 10.-A twelve
inch gun exploded yesterday afternoon
on the ba.tleship Iowa during target
practice killing three men and injuring
five.
The gun burst from the premature
explosion of shell. twelve feet of the
piece outside the turret being demol-
ished. The dead:
First Glass Seaman Kele..
Ordinary Seaman Percell
Gunners' Mate Berry.
The injured:
First-Class Seaman Caught.
Ordinary Seamen Thursdale, Brown,
Mansdale and Purcker.
Three pieces of the exploded gun,
each weighing over a ton, passed thru
the spar deck, falling upon the men
who were at mess, horribly mutilating
and instantly killing three of them. The
heavy missiles continued down to the
third deck, where they came in contact
with the armored deck of heavy steel,
bringing them to a stop and thus saw
ing the engines and f1remen below.
Altho the upper decks were covered
with men, no one there was seriously
injured. The explosion occurred just
as mess call had sounded. Firing was
to have ceased after the shot for the
dinner hour.
The Iowa was steaming along at a
speed Of twelve knots when Lieutenant
Reeder gave orders to load and fire.
Following the report of the gun there
was smothered noise as the shell ex-
ploded midway in the gun and pieces of
the bursted gun and shell were scat
tered broadcast. Three great holes
were torn thru the deck. Those who
were below came on deck, some bloody
and mutilated, while lying on the floor,
crushed almost beyond recognition,
were the three unfortunates.
The injured men We're taken to the
hospital. The dead were brought to
Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was caused
by defective she'll. The others think
the frequent firing of the pieces at
Culebra during the winter, with the
work done here during the past ten
days, so strained the piece that the
force of the charge burst the gun.

Chicago, April 10.-St:iking casket
makers and trimmers Will retaliate on
the employers by starting a co-opsra-
tive shop and selling coff1ns at actual
cost. The workmen say they will have
cofiins on the market witnin few days.
The strikers claim that there is so
much profit in the BUSINESS that they
can open shop on a small scale and
sell caskets at less than half the prices
now charged. even after allowing for
the greater cost of production because
OF lack of the facilities which the large
manufacturers have.
According to the figures furnished by
the strikers, a coffin which costs $40 to
make Is retailed by the undertakers at
$500, and the same proportion Of profit
exists in all grades OF caskets.
