o'clock Wednesday shook the city and
the surrounding country within "a,

forty others, two Of whom may die.
The man supposed to have been killed
was an Italian in charge Of the dyna

just before the explosion, and no trace
Of him has since been found.
There were $500 pounds Of dyna-
mite stored at the side Of a deep rock

within a quarter Of a mile. The force
of the explosion, as is usual, was down

Of the cut hurled large stones fol
blocks. Many houses were shifted from
their foundations, walls were stripped
Of plaster and furniture 1as sp' inferred.
Most Of the injured we're caught by

All night long the japanese poured
a stream OF shot and shell into Liao
Yang, centering their fire upon tie
spot where stood the headquarters
Of the commissariat depots. The
latter, however, had almost all been
emptied. This senSeless, futile bonn
bardment racked ones nerves. What
are the f-ols wasting their ammuni-
tion foi?' muttered spectator te
side me. Whom are they shooting
at? Nothing but empty air and
empty houses. Evidently they don't
know what to do With their Shells"
It must be true that the japanese
have an ine1haustible supply Of am
munition if~they can squander 1t 80
wildly. 1t is to be supposed that they
derive an esthetic delight from listen
ing to the sound OF their own guns.

Confession of Former Speak
cr of House of Delegates

st. Louis, Oct. BIN a written confess
sion today Charles F. Kelly, speaker OF
the house of delegates during the period
in the life of the Doodle combine. relates
the story of that combine.
He declares that Edward Butler,
prominent local politician, promised him.
self and others implicated that the next
circuit attorney would be "all right and
promised If they would remain firm he
would secure for them either continuances
until the new circuit attorney took ofiice
or pardons afterwards He declares that
Butler said the new circuit attorney, for
which office nominations are to be made
by the Democrats today. would be IN
man.
Kelly declares he refused this offer
and that he makes this confession to
satisfy the pangs of an accusing con-
science, to obey the requests of his wife
and to do what he can to make atone
ment to the public and prevent other
young men from following the pain
which he declares has led him to ruin.
In the course of his confession Kelly
details the story of the city lighting
deal, for which a Doodle fund of SAT,
was divided between the nineteen MEM
bers of the combine at julius Lehmanns
birthday party. He declares that Ed
ward Butler gave him the Doodle fund,
that he took it to Lahmanns house and
that he there divided it. He also said:
II know from my own knowledge and
those on the inside that bribery has peen
going on in the municipal assembly or
ST. Louis for the past twenty-five years.
Hardly bill passed that body in the
last quarter of century unless it wts

Gated part of the money, but as a gener-
