Of the explosion. but nearly all tho sailors

the boilers. The result was that not a
sailor escaped uninjured. Most OF the dead
were taken out OF this place, where tie
walls were covered with blood. No eye
witness has been able to tell the story OF
what happened between decks. but It Is
evident that no warning was given.
The explosion blew great hole In the
side OF the gunboat, and an uninjured officer
seeing that she was In danger OF sinking
had her run into shallow water. The sea-
men who were not badly hurt manned the
small boats and began the work OF picking
up their comrades who were struggling
In the water. Launches and rowboats

pear as witnesses in the two suits
pending In Missouri to oust the Stan.

to appear on December 4, before

who was appointed by Governor Folk
to act as commissioner for the state OF
Missouri.
The suits were fled in Missouri on
March 25, 1905, and include, besides
the Standard Oil Co., the Republic
Oil Co. and the Waters. Pierce Oil Go.
The ground for this action was an al
legged pool, or trust agreement, be.
tween the three companies to regulate
the price paid by retail dealers in
Missouri. 1t was charged also that
the companies misled the public into
the belief that they were three separ-
ate and distinct corporations, but tn at
they divided up the territory of the
state, each agreeing mott to sell on the
others grounds. This suit is in the
supreme court of Missouri.
