TO PREVENT "FLARE BACK"


Washington, April 26.-The guns Of
the ships Of the navy are being sup
piled as rapidly as the work of install
lation can be carried forward with a
device which It is asserted by experts
will preclude the possibility Of flare
back" such as occurred on the Maine
while at target practice few days
ago. This had not been installed in
the gun on the Maine in which the
flare back" occurred. The device con-
sists Of three tubes which enter the
breech Of the gun In such way that
when the breechbIock is swung open
compressed air is driven through the
bore Of the gun at such force as to
drive out all gases and also remaining
sparks. The device works automatic
ally. 1t was adopted after the accident
on the Missouri.

State Troops Take Charge Of Texas
Town.
no one PERMITTED 70 BEAR ARMS.
RoIInn Brown Arrested Charged
with killing Congressman
PirIxney-Excitement
Has subsided.

Hampstead, Texas, April 26.-As a
result Of the bloody, battle. here Mon
day night when four men were killed
and others were wounded Hampstead
Is under the control Of the Texas
rangers.
Martial law has not been declared
but the adjuent general has arrived
with number of rangers and assumed
charge OF affairs. No one is permitted
to bear arms and the excitement man
Tested throughout the day has quilted
down. Rollan Brown the son OF one
of the men killed at the prohibition
mass meeting was placed under arrest
on charge Of firing the shot which
killed Representative Pickney.
The killings are the direct result
of a prohibition movement in Waller
county, which was begun some years
ago and the feeling has been intense.
An election was held in Waller county
April 20 and the prohibitionists with
whom the Pickneys were affiliated were
successful. The prohibition league
was called together last night to wind
up its affairs, and disband. A resolu-
ton requesting the governor Of Texas
to send troops to Waller county for the
purpose Of enforcing the law against
liquor sellers was excitedly debated.
II was at this juncture that Capt. H.
M. Brown, who had figured promin-
emily as an anti-prohibitionists, sought
to have the chairman recognize him
and soon afterwards that the firing be-
gan. 1t was stated Tuesday that
friends Of the participants in the af-
fray had been asked to come to Hemp
stead and 1t was feared that further
trouble would result. At this time
however, cooler counsel has prevailed
and the little town is quiet.

GET Good RESULTS.
The President Enjoying His Hunt
Amid the Snow.
LARGE CANE IS REPORTED ABUNDANT
The Hunting Party Are Camped AT
an Altitude of 1900 Feet, Sur
rounded by snow ON
Every, side.

Glenwood Springs, Col, April 26.-
President Roosevelt's hunting trip has
been crowned with success far beyond
his expectations or those of the most
sanguine Of his guides. Three bears
were killed by the party Tuesday and
two Monday, one by the President and
one by DR.. Lambert. P. B. Stewart
Of Colorado Springs, one Of the Presi-
dents hunting companions arrived
here Tuesday night, accompanied by
Courier Chapman. They brought the
story of the hunt The killing OF the
three bears was telephoned to them
and they understood that President
Roosevelt brought down two of them,
but the details are lacking
The party is now snowbound In Its
present location and no attempt Will
be made to cross the divide. Fifteen
feet Of snow is on the ground on the
other side and any effort to reach Red
stone would be futile. The hunters are
satisfied, however, for they have reach
ed the center of what the guides say
is the best bear country in Colorado.
Bobcats are thick in the country now
being hunted, so plentiful in fact that
many are allowed to escape without a
shot being fired in their direction.
Many fine skins are being taken how
ever.
=
The bear killed by the president
Monday was of the brown variety, not
so heavy, but furnishing much finer
pelt than the first animal killed. One
Of the bears killed Tuesday is said to
be grizzly, but this can not be veri-
fed.
1t was within an area Of seven miles
that all hve Of the bears were killed.
This spot Is about 10 or Is miles from
camp and every animal gave the dogs
and hunters q long chase. All Of them
freed, which enabled the hunters to
kill them without further accident to
the dogs Thus far only one dog has
been killed. 1t was killed by the first
bear shot.
President Roosevelt Is living In q
cabin on the abandoned Bum home
stead, on the West Divide creek, quart
era that are remarkably comfortable
considering the character Of the coun-
try. 1t is likely that the party will
stay there for the entire hunt.
The pelts Of the game have been
brought here to be mounted.
We have been living well said Mr..
Stewart supplies are holding out well
and now bear steaks win be on the
bill Of fare regularly. No icebox is
needed up there to keep the meat fresh.
The camp is situated at an altitude Of
about 1900 feet and there is deep snow
on every side"

MEETING CIVIC LEAGUE

New York, April 2s.-Ths iudus-
trial economic department Of the Ma
tlonal civic League had dinner 10
this city Tuecday night. August Bel
mont, president OF the federation. was
postmaster, and before introducing
the speakers Of the evening said;
1--WE strive for industrial peace. and
more rightful relations between en-
ployer and wage-earners. In discuss
ing this we look beyond the strained
relationship to the ca,iSes which In
duce them. Inquiry, discussion. edu-
cation are important factors In the
settlement OF vexatious problems
which are sociological as well as In
dustrial."
President Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation Of Labor, said
Organization Is the workman's pro-
lection. The United States supreme
court has declared the bakers ten
hour law unconstitutional. don't
know what anyone else may think. but
as far as am concerned, when the
test shall come and there Is no other
way to prevent It. will urge and APP
peal to these bakers to strike and
strike hard to enforce the ten-hour
day for themselves.
mo one believes that the condi-
lions as they are to-day are perfect. A
better day is coming. 1t is a question
whether 1t shall come as in bloody
revolutionary Russia, or by the plain,
modest, American method Of obtain
ing It In the trades union movement.
Wherever there has come the organi-
zation of labor in that same degree
have depravity and misery and pow
erty disappeared.
