Protective Tariff League.

New York, Jan. 21.-The American
Protective Tariff league held its an
nual meeting here today, chose new
officers and committeeman and dis
cussed plans for the future work Of
the organization. The most important
labors of the league will be directed
toward creating public sentiment
against reciprocity. The ratification
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty is a
sore disappointment to the organiza-
ton, but as set forth in the speeches
before todays meeting, the league will
bend every effort to prevent the sue
cess of this measure from becoming
an entering wedge which would make
it easier to bring out reciprocity with
other nations.

Electric Car BloWn
Up by Dynamite

Melrose, Mass. Sept 22.-An out.
ward bound Boston electric car was
blown to pieces here last night. Nine
persons were killed outright. several
were fatally injured and at least IF,
teen were severely hurt.
1t is thought that the car struck a
charge of dynamite left on the track
The front dashboard of the car was
buried more than fifty feet. The i'm
mediate vicinity presented a horrible
scene. The ground was strewn with
legs, arms and other portions of hui
man bodies. Such force was in the
explosion that two men went through
a door fifty feet away, while every
window within a radius of a quarter of
mile was broken.
The car contained mostly working.

Mrs. John Conway of Melrose had
both legs broken.
John II. Andrews Of MelrCse receiv.

All of these are likely to die.
At the scene of the accident the
sight was appalling.
The ground was covered with torn
and mangled bodies of the dead and
writhing forms of the injured
At $50 O'Clock last night the police
had but one theory as to the accident
which was that some person had in
tentionally or carelessly left stick
of dynamite on the track.
The police announce that the caus;
of the wreck was the striking of a 81
pound box of dynamite, which hac
fallen from an express wagon JUS
ahead of the car. The express wager
was driven by Roy Fenton, who dis
covered that the box had dropped of
and rushed back to take it off thu
track, but before he got within hun
dred yards of the box, the car came
along and was blown up.
Fenton was taken into custody b!
the police.
