THE DAUGHTERS RECoNvENE.
What's to Be Done About the Bones of
John Paul JOneS?-An Ala
bama Daughter Brings
Up the Mormon
Question.
6By the Associated Press.l

Washington, April 22.-After a re-
cess of one day, the congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton reconvened today to conclude it's
business. There was a notable dimin-
ution in the attendance, many of the
daughters having left the city.
President General Fairbanks ex-
tended an invitation to the president
general, Mrs. Donald Mclean and to
A. j. Kaufman, of South Carolina, a
member of the Sons of the American
Revolution to take seats on the
stage. mr.. Kaufman delivered a
brief address in which he felicitated
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton on it's achievements and COM
plimented it's outgoing and incoming
officers.
Vernon M. Davis. one of the justices
of the Supreme Court of New York,
who presided in the Criminal branch
during the first and second trials of
Nan Patterson. was one of the in
terested spectators of the proceedings.
Mrs. Donald Mclean was elected
chairman of the Continental Memorial
Hall committee
At the afternoon session a motion
by Mrs Day, of Tennessee, was pass
ed the effect of which is to admit
children of the American Revolution
to membership in the Daughters of the
American Revolution without pay
ment of initiation fees A proposition
was made by Mrs. Elizabeth C. Will
liams, of Maryland, that the society
take steps looking to the deposit of
the remains of John Paul Jones at the
naval academy at Annapolis.
Amendments were offered requesting
that the remains be deposited in Phil
adelphia and in Fredericksburg, Va.
The whole question finally was laid
on the table.
Mrs. Goode. of Alabama, brought to
the attention of the Congress the
Mormon question in a sensational
statement. She declared that the
through its leaders, the laws of the
tinn owing it's highest allegiance to
its own organization. and that it was
a stain on the good name of the
United States. She offered a resolu-
ton which was adopted calling on
Congress ito pass such remedial leg
islation as will put stop to polygamy
and polygamous living, and political
control of the Mormon hierarchy to
refuse to admit Reed Smoot to the
Senate and urging an amendment TO
the Federal constitution making
polygamy crime against the United
States.
Mrs. Richardson, State regent Of
South Carolina, presented to Presi-
dent-General Fairbanks a beautiful
drawing of the Fairbanks coat of
arms and an illuminated card bear
ing the insignia of the Palmetto State
and the names of the Daughters of the
American Revolution Chapters of that
State.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
IN A MASSACHUSETTS FACTORY
pie-shop Entirely Burned--Many
Injured and Missing.

Brockton. Mass. March ci.-The ex.
plosion Of 150-horse power boiler in
r. G. Grover & Co.'S large four-story
frame shoe factory in the Campello
district yesterday killed scores of en-
ployes. injured half hundred others
and destroyed property valued at
s250.000.
At midnight the remains OF fifty
three persons had been recovered from
the ruins. Seven bodies have been
Identified, but only three or four posi-
lively.
Fifty-three persons are known to be
still missing, the names of thirty-one
of whom have been obtained. Many
others are reported missing. but it is
considered possible that some of them
are at their homes.
The explosion was Immediately fol-
lowed by flash of flame, which con-
sumed the factory. a long. four-story
structure. as If it were house OF
cards, and incinerated an unknown
numDer of men and women who were
unable to extricate themselves from
a mass of tangled wreckage formed
by the terrific upheaval in the boiler
room.
More than fifty of the employees in
the building were MANNED, burned or
bruised by the time they reached safe
ground. Some had jumped from the
roof, some from windows, and others
had been injured in the mad rush to
escape from the doomed factory,
which from all parts emitted the heat
of an inferno. driving back the band
Of heroic rescuers, who in few mo-
ments had performed gallant service.
The fire extended from the factory
to seven other buildings in the vicinity
and destroyed them. One of these
buildings was threestory wooden
block owned by Charles F. Dahlborg,
the others being cottages Of small
value and a blacksmith shop.
Two wooden dwellings near the en-
gine room were practically demol-
ished by the flying boiler, but none of
the occupants were seriously injured.
The explosion, which was followed
by such a sacrifice Of life, and en-
tailed appalling instances Of human
suffering, occurred shortly after the
operatives had settled down to work
for the day, and without warning sud
denly the air vibrated with the roar
of an explosion. At the same moment
the large wooden frame of the factory,
four-story structure. quivered and
then the rear portion Of it collapsed.

Grazing Capacity Of Ranges.

Mr.. J. s. Cotton. assistant in range
Investigation for the Department of
Agriculture. is in the city on his way
to california. Mr.. Cotton is engaged
under the Bureau Of Plant Culture, in
vestigating into the carrying capacity
of the western ranges. 1t is expected
by the department that Congress will
very soon take up the matter Of new
laws for the control of the grazing on
the public lands, and data is being Sc
cured already to be presented to Con-
gress on this matter.
1T Is important for the department
to have some idea of the present ca
pacity of the public lands for grazing
purposes, and l am engaged in study
ing problems in regard to the carrying
capacity of the ranges" said Mr.. Cot
ton. "Of course, it is impossible to
get at the matter except in the most
general way. Before it can be had in
detail, 1t will be necessary to have a
comprehensive survey of the ranges
for the purpose of classifying them"
There seems to be a general impress
sion in the department that changes
are soon to take place in the handling
OF the public ranges" said Mr.. Cotton.
"Just what the changes will be, none
of us know, but If Congress adopts the
suggestions Of the special commission
appointed by President Roosevelt,
there will probably be range districts
established with government supervi-
sion."-Denver Record-Stockman.
