old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes;
Mrs. Ada Crouch, Stoneham; Miss

All but ten feet of the rear portion
of the car was blown into small pieces,
while windows within radius of a
quarter of mile were shattered.
The ground was strewn with legs,
arms and other portions of bodies, a
human foot being blown through a
window opposite.
The more seriously injured are al
most completely deaf as result of
the conclusion when the car struck
the dynamite, although physicians
think it probable in the majority of
cases hearing will return.
Roy Fenton, driver of the express
wagon from which the box of dynamite
fell on the street car track, is still de-
tanned at the Melrose police station
pending the investigation by the au-
thorities. The dynamite slipped from
the wagon without the knowledge Of
the driver and he was on his way
back from a stable to recover it when
the explosion occurred.

PROTESTS TO PEKING
RUSSIA WARNS CHINA NOT TO

AGREEMENT.

REPORT FROM CHINESE CAPITAL
INDICATES TREATY WILL
BE REJECTED.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-The Rus
sian protest against the Anglo-Tibetan
treaty, as forecasted in these dispatch
es Tuesday, has been presented at
Peking. M. Lessar, the Russian min
lister, is understood to have called the
attention of the Chinese foreign board
to the fact that China would abandon
her suzerainty over, Tibet if she rati-
fed the treaty, thus creating British
protectorate.
The foreign Office here has not yet
received M. Lessar's report, but the
dispatch from Peking to the Morning
Post of London announcing that China
is not willing to ratify the treaty is
believed to be the direct outcome of
Russia's protest.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 23.-Floods have
swept Western Texas with the result
that 600 people have been driven from
their homes and are starving. while
the crops for 100 miles below the city
of Preside have been utterly destroyed
by the rushing water. For $50 miles
north of Preside along the Concho
river the floods devastation has swept
the country.
Hundreds of people have been left
without clothing and with little or no
food. Reports of conditions are reach
ing Dallas slowly, but each report
shows that conditions in the wake of
the floods are terrible in the extreme.
With the loss of the growing crops,
farm implements of all kinds have
been swept away and the people in
the devastated district are in hope
less plight. They must be kept by
public relief until they have chance
to recoup their fortunes with the crops
of next year.
Appeals for aid are pouring in from
Preside and other towns in the

PARIS. May 9.-Captaia Lcnfant, the

adventures, including desperate fights
with natives. he has discovered q new
way from the Atlantic TO Lake Chad.
He was accompanied by NJ. Lahure.

Delovoye. who had charge of the mill
tary escort
The Importance Of Captain Lenfant's
discovery Will be seen when il is stated
that the intrepid explorer. with his little
band Of attendants, occupied on the out
ward and homeward journey only sixty
five days, whereas to reach Lake Chad
by the Congo route takes something
ike five months.
Route to Lake Chad.
With a company of ten, Captain Len
FAINT set out from the Atlantic coast,
proceeded up the Niger for consider
able distance, then branched off along
the Benue, a tributary of the Niger, un-
I'll he came TO the difficult and little
known region Of the suburb marshes,
which at times is partially Inundated
Here he managed 10 discover d naviga-
bic passage 10 a small river connecting
with the larger river known as the
Shari. which empties into Lake Chad.
The usefulness Of the discovered chan
mel is established by the fact that the
boat Of the explorers contained ten tons
Of goods and drew two feet Of water.
The only obstacle encountered during
nearly l,400 miles Of river was the Falls
OF NJ BOuTaO. TWO hundred ana nifty
miles through a channel in the Suburb
district and on the river known as the
IsOZOne were uaVlga bic.
The success of the explorers was only
achieved by indOmitable effort and In
