PROBABLY WORK OF FANATIC
BLOWING UP OF THE M|KASA
Believed to Have Been Done by Members Of the Grew Who
We're Descendants Of Ancient Samurj Dissatisfied
With HumiIatlng Terms Of Peace Treaty

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Tne feeling is
growing among the Japanese members
of the diplomatic corps and citizens
here, that the battleship Mikasa was
the ancient samurai, whose leading
doctrine is suicide rather than dis
honor, it being the general feeling
among at least the lower classes of the
japanese that the peace terms were
most dishonorable. 1t is believed that
member of the crew was willing to
see the grand ship sink rather than re-
main inactive because of the conclus-
ion of peace which reflected no credit
on her magnificent victories. 1t is
pointed out that there was very little

There was a woman with a bahv
who wanted TO go to her husband in
NatcheZ. When we got there the
quarantine officers would not let the
woman get off the train, and her hus-
band, VINO was there, was not allowed
to come within fifty feet of her. And
there they stood talking and the
woman begged the men there to let
her off, but they wouldn't do it. Was
not that awful mean? And they took
that poor woman away up north some
where, I think it was in Cairo or some
place in Illinois, before she was al
lowed to leave the train"

FLEE FROM fever.
Army of Refugees In Chicago, Waiting
for Cold Weather.

CHICAGO, Sept 13-Nearly 10000
wellow fever refugees, it is estimated,
are in Chicago, signing for the coming
of the frost in the south and for the
lifting of quarantine. The estimate is
made by hotel men, who are caring
for about 2O00 of the soutnerners. The
rest are living with friends or at pri-
vate boarding houses.
Some of the refugees had exciting
and amusing experiences on their way
to the north. From the time they left
their homes until they passed the
quarantine zone they were virtually
prisoners in the coaches.
Miss Erna Samillion of Knoxville,
Tenn, VINO was in New Orleans at
the time of the appearance of the fever,
was among the first to leave the
stricken city.
Those people down there just went
wild over the epidemic,' said Miss Sa-
million at the Stratford hotel today.
when we left New Orleans they COW
cred every window with a screen full
of germicide, and we were inside, like
prisoners in a cell. At stations where
the train stopped on the way north
the people stared as if we were wild
animals. Accidentally I dropped a
handkerchief as 1 stood On the plat
form and it fell to the pavement. I
asked a gentleman to hand it to me.
He looked at me as though 1 were an
evil being, and backed away. I asked
another, but he did not seem to hear
me. Finally a man walked toward
the place where my kerchief was ly-
ing. I thought he was going to prove
his good manners when to my sur
prise he struck a match and touched it
to my kerchief.

WHO pYNAMITEo THE DAMP
object Of Lawless Act on Pleasant Valley
Brook Was Evidently to Delay Mr..
crowelI's Work.

Brook Was Evidently to Delay Mr..
crowelPs Work.
Who was the dynamiter?
Who blew up the dam i'm Pleasant val
ley?
What was the object?
These are some of the questions which
are propounded as the result of a law
less act which was probably committed
Thursday night.
A dam in Pleasant valley, about
quarter of q mile below the proposed site
Of the Sunset Lake Water companys
reservoir, was destroyed by a dynamite
explosion. and the object was either pure
deviltry or delay of the Sunset Lake
Water company in getting water into
the mains which are now being laid for
connection this winter with the Chestnut
Hill system.
About three years ago George T.. Crow
ell had a dam built on the Pleasant val
ley brook, with the intention of running
a small pipe from there to connect near
Samuel Sargents with the mains carrying
water to the Chestnut Hill reservoir.
This dam formed a pond Of about the
same area as the present Chestnut Hin
reservoir Mr. Crowell never tapped this
supply as William H. Vinton, as mill
owner on MILESTONE brook. secured
temporary injunction preventing him from
using the water.
The dam was built OF stone and plank
at small expense. Crosby & Parker the
contractors who are putting in the 10
inch main to drain Stickney brook and
Pleasant Valley brook supplies. had COM
pleted their work to within 400 or 500
feet of this dam. They had no intention
of taking the water at this point, as the
mains are to be laid to the proposed site
OF the reservoir, where a catch basin will
be built for use this winter.
On Thursday on account of the storm.
the force of 80 men employed by Crosby
& Parker, were not at work. During
the night the lock to the portable black
smith shop which the contractors use was
pried off, the building entered and
sticks of dynamite carried away. The
dynamite was exploded under the dam,
destroying the structure. so that the
water impounded there escaped. The
engineer who has charge OF the blasting
with dynamite for Crosby & Parker is
Of the opinion that not less than three
sticks of the dynamite were used. and
that the person who blew up the dam
was familiar with explosives.
No real damage resulted. but II the
object of the work OF destruction was to
delay Mr.. Crowell there was pretty
bitter and vindictive spirit back Of the
act. Not many people are willing to
monkey with dynamite for ordinary
purposes.
