A BOILER FxPLODfS
This Causes the Building to FAIL
Five Dead Taken Out and Twenty
five Injured. Thought Many are
Still in the Ruins.

New York. Mar. "A nine story
building in course of construction
at Forty-Sixth street and Sixth ave-
nue. collapsed today A boiler explo-
sion caused the collapse. The build
ing was being erected for hotel pur-
poses. According to the police five
are dead and twenty-five injured
have already been taken from the
ruins. All the dead and injured were
workmen employed on the building
Coroner Scholer says that eleven
men. all probably dead. are buried
in the ruins. Great crowds have ga

neighboring stations have been sum-
moned
Fire Chief Croker stated that he
believed Is to 20 men were buried
in the ruins. The building collaps-
ing crashed through the kitchen and
dining room of the Patterson hotel
adjoining it at the rear. Both rooms
were wrecked and guest and
waiter were buried in the debris.
Their injuries are unknown.
AS the salvage corps pulled down
the remnants of the east wall there
were heard screams from the ruins
and it is thought that number OF
the injured will be found beneath
the sidewalk. 1t is reported that a
woman guest of the Patterson hotel
named Mrs. Dodge was killed. Two
men were fatally hurt.

Among the arrivals Sunday even

Judging from the length of the tail
of his coat. and the clerical cut of
same, he was a preacher of some
kind. and the first guess would be
Mormon missionary or elder His
coat had the appearance of long SER
vice, his shoes had never known a
shine, and the derby he wore was
of the style of 1886 The most stylish
part of the makeup of the gentle
man was the rubber collars and
cuffs. He was walking around and
was looking very wise" with his
hands in his pockets He had the air
of a Beau Brummel and seemed to
be admiring himself It was plain to
be seen that he was satisfied with
life. Mr.. Render was talking with
the Record representative. and said,
Look at that fellow. have been
watching him for several minutes
He seems to be admiring that long
tailed coat He is certainly, strange
looking. Shortly afterwards he ap-
preached the Record man and said.

Washington, Mar 2.-The investi-
CATION which is to decide whether
Reed Smoot of Utah is to retain his
Seat in the United States senate,
and which incidentally defines the
status of the Mormon church. form
ally began today before the senate
committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. Great interest is attached to
the hearing because of the dual pur-
pose of the inquiry. Other investiga-
tiOns have been directed at certain
contested seats in congress, but new
err before has been inaugurated an
inquiry as to the creed of the politi-
cal factors to determine whether un-
lawful influence is being exerted in
the political affairs of the nation.
Such is the nature of the Smoot
inquiry that at the opening session
today it was conceded that the hear
ing would extend over several weeks
and would precipitate contest in
which noted legal talent will argue
every inch of the way.
President Joseph E. Smith of the
Mormon church was the first wit
ness called r. W. Taylor. a former
congressman and one of the attor
news for the protestants, conducted
the examination. Taylor asked Mr..
Smith if he was a prophet, seer and
revelator The witness said he was
$50 sustained" Further questioning
along this line brought out the state
ment that he received his powers
by reason of the Office he holds in
the church. In answer to questions
Smith gave a long list of business
enterprises in which he is interested
In relation to revelations the wit
ness said the church holds that any
Elder may receive revelations for
his guidance Then. Mr.. Smoot may
receive such revelation direct from
God? asked Taylor. "for his own
guidance. Yes. was the answer.
smith said that only such reyela-
tions as were made to the president
and which mad been presented to
the church and accepted by the
members were binding upon them.
He was asked what happened to
those who did not believe in the in
spired revelations. Smith replied,
They unchurch themselves. Sena-
for H0ar asked the witness: Has
the church ever rejected any of your
revelations? Have any revelations Of
sfhe presidents been rejected = Smith
answered by long explanation dur

Healthy Sunshine.

Tt has for some years been known that
sunlight acts as destroyer of many Of
those pathogenic organisms which are
popularly known as germs. Some time
ago an Ingenious experimentalist demon
strated this fact in very convincing
manner by preparing culture" of these
germs on fiat surface and exposing it to
sunlight beneath stencil plate, with the
result that he obtained an image of the
cut on part of the stencil in dead germ
life, the rest of the prepared plate being
still alive. He called it living photo
graph" but the same term has since been
applied to the popular cinematograph
picture. The Massachusetts board of
health has recently carried out series of
experiments in order to ascertain how far
sunlight is able to cleanse water affected
with the undesirable germs which result
from sewage contamination. The two or
ganisms dealt with more particularly
were the colon bacillus and that associ-
ated with typhoid They found that both
species were quickly destroyed by free
access to sunlight, thirty minutes to an
hour being sufficient to sterilize culture
when spread out in thin layer, as in the
Photographic experiment already detailed
In the case of the typhoid bacillus from
95 to 80 per cent were quickly killed by
exposure to direct sunlight, but there
were always a few hardy individuals
which required for their destruction an
extended time.
