NORWAY Votes
DISSOLUTION,
s0DECIDEs UNANIMOUSLY By A
LARGE REFERENDUM
BALLOT.
Result Surpasses the Most Sanguine
Expectation. It is Declared that
Norway will Remain a Mon
archy.

Christiania, Aug. 1.-THE Norwe-
gian people in referendum taken
yesterday pronounced in favor of the
dissolution of the union of Sweden
with remarkable though not unexpect-
ed unamity. OF 100000 votes $50, 900
cast ballots .'..-
While the full result will not be
known for some hours, up to midnight
returns showed that about one person
in three thousand voted against the
dissolution.
there were scenes of the greatest en-
thusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise signed petitions in the
streets endorsing the dissolution.
In Christiania and other cities, the
total population turned out, everyone
wearing long streamers of the national
!colors and pictures of Premier Michel
son.
One of the members of the cabinet
said to the Associated Press last night:
- "The result surpasses the most san
guine expectations The next official
step will be taken after the storthing
meets on Aug. 21, when the result of
the plebiscite will be communicated to
Sweden through the Swedish cabinet
and the rigsdag.
"The storthing will repeat the re-
quest that the rigsdag declare the
rlksakt imperative and the union dis
solved. The storthing will also ex-
press willingness to negotiate con-
corning the details of the dissolution.
1t is the earnest desire of Norway to
conclude the dissolution amicably.
NORWAY will never retract, but
everything will be done to meet the
wishes of Sweden in other directions.
Norway must remain monarchy, the
people do not desire a republic"

section of the big department store OF
the John G.. Myers company, in North
Pearl street, collapsed early Tuesday.

sons. Caught in chaos of brick, plas.

men, women and children met death.
Up to Wednesday night 13 bodies had
been recovered, but several persons
were still on the missing list, and it is
feared that some of them may be found
under the ruins. Some of the injured
taken from the wreckage will probably
die. Mayor Gaus has appointed a spe.
cial commission to investigate the co,
lapse.
With few exceptions those caught in
the ruin were employees, a large ma.
jority of them girls. The collapse oc-
Cured shortly after the opening hour,
when barely score Of shoppers were
in the store. The wrecked portion in
cludes nearly one-half of the store.
About 400 persons are on the firms
pay roll, but some so of these are on
their vacations.
Three hundred persons employed in
the large store had just gone to work
Tuesday, when the whole center of the
building collapsed from roof to cellar.
Nearly 100 men, girls and children were
carried down in the wreck
The Myers estate has been making
extensive repairs on its building. Tues
day morning gang Of Italian workmen
started to remove an iron pillar that SUD-
ported the main floor Evidently they
had failed to brace the floor properly,
for scarcely had they loosened the post
when down came all three upper floors
within radius of so feet from the fatal
pillar.
The building which collapsed stands
in the heart Of the shopping district.
1t is owned partly by the company and
partly by the estate of the late David
Orr. The loss to the company is esti-
mated at between 100000 and $780,

but until now considered perfectly

set forth the United States stand so

Milk Melons,

One of the latest French agricultural
fads is being agitated by a farmer near
Marseilles, who declares that water.
melons supplied with milk freely
poured around the roots will grow
twice their normal size, and offers
proof in the shape of prizes from many
fairs which, he asserts, he was enabled
to win through this practice. Accord.
ing to his theory the melon is provided
with the proper combination of foods
in exactly the right proportions and Is
enabled to throw all OF its energy into
Its growth instead of sending forth
long roots in order to draw from the
soil what it requires as food. The
process Is said not only to increase the
size Of the melon, but to insure firm
