Explosion On Battleship Missouri Snuffs
Out Many Lives.
Bravery OF Officers Saves Many Others Came
Near Being Destroyed


dull thud gave notice of something
unusual.
No loud report was made, but
fiam1s were seen to leap from every
portion Of the turret. A few seconds
afterwards, another explosion some
what ficrcer occurred. This was in
the handling room below, where 1 900
pounds Of powder, or four charges,
ready to be hoisted above, had ignit-
ed. Fire quarters were sounded ana
every man of the ship responded and
the magazine and handling rooms
were flooded with water. In less thai
five seconds after the first explosion
two streams of water were being
played in the rooms and when volun-
teers were called for, every man of the
ship responded, eager to go into the
turrets and rescue the crew.
Three minutes after the explosion
all were on deck and the surgeons
from the Missouri, Texas and Brook
Ign were attending to those not dead.
The 25 men of the turret were found
lying in heap.
They had started for the exit when
the first explosion occurred, and had
just reached there when the more ter
rihle explosion in the handling room
occurred, which burne and strsngled
them to death. Lieutenant Davidson,
the officer in charge of the turret,
evidently had given some command
to the men, as he was on top of the
heap of men, having failed there after
he had allowed them to pass him to
get out of the turret.
The bodies were hardly recogniza-
BILE, the terrible and quick fire having
burned clothing from the bodies of the
men, and the flesh hung from them in
shreds. The faces were mutilated by
the smoke and flames only. Only ono
man was breathing when the turret
crew was rescued and he died a mo-
ment after he reached the deck.

PENSACOLA, Fla, April l4-By the
explosion of 1900 pounds of powder
in the after 12-inch turret and in the
handling room of the battleship Mis-
souri,, Captain william S. Cowles,
commanding 80 men were instantly
killed and five injured, two of whom
will die.
The Missouri was on the target
range with the Texas and Brooklyn
at practice about noon, when charge
of powder in the 12-inch left hsnd gun
exploded, ignited from gas, and drop
ping below, ignited four charges of
powder in the handling room, and all
exploded and only one man OF the en-
tire turrett and handling crew sur
vived.
But for the pro mpt and efficient
work Of Captain Cowles in flooding
the handling room and magazine with
water one of the magazines would
have exploded and the ship would
have been destroyed.
Captain Cowles completely over
come by the disaster, referred all
newspaper men to Lieutenant Ham
mer, the ordinance officer. The latter
gave out a statement of the explosion
and its probable cause.
According to him, about noon yes
terdsy, after the first pointer of the
after l2-inch piece had fired his string
and the second pointer had fired the
third shot OF his string, the charge
iguited. The fourth shot was being
loaded, and from all indications the
first half of the charge had been
rammed home and the second section
was being rammed home, when gases
from the shot previously fired, or por-
tions of the cloth cover, ignited the
powder. The breech was open and a

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Unreasonable weather is still the
chief drawback to improvement in bus
mess, complaints being received from
every section Of the country, and slow
collections are also attributed to this
factor.
Not only is current distribution of
merchandise particularly affected, but
future commitments are undertaken
most conservatively on account Of the
possible injury to crops. There Is
much confidence regarding the future.
despite the fact that at many points
supplies of merchandise are burden
some. Structural work is gradually
resuming normal proportions for the
season. May 1 is usually the date
fixed for many labor controversies. but
this year there is little prospect OF
serious disturbances.
Slightly lower prices prevail for the
leading agricultural staples.

ly shot; David A. Osburn, ex-sheriff Of
Benton county, is dangerously shot, as
the result Of pistol duel that took
place shortly after midnight Sunday
Morning. The trouble began when
Ready, after leaving restaurant, fred
off his pistol, and ex-Sheriff Osburn,
who is night officer of Corvallis. I'M
dertook to arrest him. Ready was un-
der the influence Of liquor, and when
Osburn approached, he drew a gun and
ordered Osburn to halt. There was
some parleying, and when Osburn ad-
vanced Ready fired, and the officer,
shot through the neck, fell in the arms
of bystanders.
Sheriff Burnett, who had been sum-
moned, soon arrived on the scene in
company with ex-Sheriff Dunn, and,
taking Ready by the arm ordered him
under arrest. Ready whipped out a
pistol and began to fire. The first
shot went wide of the mark. and a
second, also aimed at the sheriff, took
effect in Dunn's abdomen.
Then Burnett fired, and Ready fell
with a shot in the head. Dunn fell
into the arms Of a companion, firing
two shots from his pistol at Ready as
he did so. Burt Turley, aged %, is
in custody as an accessory with Ready.

The condition of Dunn and Osburn
is critical. Three surgeons are work

penetrated Dunn's bowels and most
serious results are feared. 1t is be-
lieved the first bullet fired by Ready
lodged under Osburn's left shoulder
blade, after penetrating his neck and
windpipe, but the doctors have not
been able to find it.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
The shooting was made the topic of
several sermons against the liquor traf-
fic. Ready was a son of George B.
Ready, instructor in topography at the
Oregon Agricultural college here. He
was known as a young man of ex-
