BENNINGTON REPORT
Court Finds Explosion Due
 to Failure of a Valve.
PRESSURE IN BOILER WAS HIGH.
But Gauge Didn't Show It. Cours Martial For Officer In Charge of the Engine Room of the Dis-
 abled Warship.

. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Secretary
 Bonaparte received and as soon as he
 ,ad himself read made public the pro-
 eeedings and findings of the court of I Inquiry which investigated the explo-
 sion on the gunboat Bennington at San l Diego, Cal, on July 21 The findings were a complete surprise, for they at
 once sat at rest the stories which had l circulated to the effect that the Ben
 nlngton's boilers and perhaps those of
 other naval vessels of the same age
 were defective. As a matter of fact,
 Ihe court found the explosion resulted 1 rom tEe closing of valve which con- 1 aected the exploded boiler with it's l steam gauge, so that the pressure on that boiler may have been several hun ared pounds to the square inch when the accident occurred.
 While praise was accorded to the off
 eers and ships company for their con-
 duct during the narrowing scenes fol- lowing the accident, the officer and
 men who were responsible in the opin-
 ion of the court are pointed out and
 court martial proceedings suggested in the case of the only one of them sur viving, Ensign Charles T. Wade.
 The court consisted of Commodore Stevenson, retired. and Captain E. J. Moore and Captain Thomas s. Phelps. The finding recites the arrival of the Bennington at San Diego and says:
 'The ship was in an excellent state of discipline and in good and efficient condition, with the exception of her boilers, which were in fair condition and efficient, considering their age about fourteen years) and the use to which they had been subjected "
 Containing, the court says:
 About 9:2O on July 21, after both boilers had been filled and the furnaces started, it was observed that the steam gauge on boiler B showed about five pounds of steam pressure and at this
 time Oiler Frank De Courtani, acting as water tender, directed D. N. Hol- land, fireman, second class, to close the uil Noth ol DollCI ID, lllc Sdlu Holland climbed up and closed valve, and almost immediately the steam gauge on boiler B failed to register any pressure; that this was apparently not noticed by either the water tender or the fireman, and no attention ap- pears. to have been paid to the fact that the steam gauge failed to register, but they kept on working the fires and firing heavily; that when the steam gauge on boiler A showed 135 pounds there was no pressure showing on the steam gauge of boiler B."
 The finding then goes on to state that about 10:30 o'clock small leak was found in boiler B A request had been sent to the boilermaker to come

IOmDs Caterer Wants Rabbit Foot
 He Loaned Her. u
 NEW YORK, Aug. 22. = John G. Jones, caterer at the Tombs prison, announced that he had retained At torney C. r. Kingsley to bring suit against Nan Patterson for the return Of a rabbits foot given into his GUS tody by an unnamed man several years ago after the man had been acquitted of murder charge.
 The rabbits foot, according to AIr. Jones, was loaned by him to Nan as soon as he Dones) learned that Abe Levy had been retained to defend the girl. He has received numerous let ters from persons in this city and out urging him to take legal steps to re- cover the talisman, one from a man in Elkhart, Ind, offering to defray the expenses of the suit.
 The rabbits foot has been promised to Berthe Claiche, the young woman who shot and killed Emil Gerdron sev- eral weeks ago. The rabbits foot has been carried by all the most noted all legged murderers of recent years who became Tombs prisoners, except Pat rick. Roland B. Molineux had it in bis possession two years.

ana attend< 10 tle leak, when the eX.
 plosion occurred. The court says:
 "The court is of the opinion that the
 explosion was caused by excessive
 pressure in boiler B, which came
 about first by shutting the valve con.
 meeting the boiler with the steam gauge
 instead of the valve on the air cock ] alone, as was intended, so that the ! steam gauge did not indicate the pres sure in the boiler: second, by unusual
 and heavy firing in the boiler to get up
 a pressure, which the gauge failed to
 show; third, by the failure of the sen
 tinel and safety valves to lift at the 1 pressure for which they were set and 1 the pressure increased without relief 1 until it was beyond the strength of the boiler which gave way in it's weakest part, afterward found to be the corru- gated fue of No 2, the lowest or mid dle furnace, which collapsed.
 ''The court is also of the opinion that D. N. Holland, fireman, second class,
 U. $. N., who was the fireman on duty firing boiler B at and before the time of the explosion, did by mistake shut
 off the steam valve connecting boiler 'B' with it's steam gauge instead of the air cock, as directed, thus preventing the gauge from recording the steam pressure on it's boiler; that Frank De Courtani, oiler, acting water tender.
 U. s. N, on watch in charge of this boiler from about 9:15 a. m. until the time of the explosion, did fail to ob- serve that this steam gauge was not recording and did continue pushing the fires on this boiler and further when leaks developed from excessive pres sure did fail to relieve this pressure. which should have been done at once; that E. B. Ferguson, chief machinist's mate, U. s. N, on watch in charge of the engine and fire rooms, did fail to inspect boiler B. under his charge. while steam was being raised and did fail to cause this steam gauge to be connected with the boiler The said D. N. Holland, fireman, second class. U. s. N.; Frank De Courtani, U. s. N, and E. E. Ferguson, chief machinist's mate, U. S. N., are all now dead, and therefore no further proceedings can be taken against them. ''The court is of the further opinion that further proceedings should be had in the case of Ensign Charles T. Wade. [. s. N, who was in charge of the en- gineering department of the United States ship Bennington at the time of the explosion and since Oct 22, 1904, in this that he, the said Ensign Charles T. Wade, '. $. N., did fail in his own person to see that the safety valves on boiler B was'overhauled at the proper time and kept in good working order, but did accept the verbal statement of 1 his subordinate or subordinates that it 1 had been overhauled in March, 1905. l The court recommends that the said | Ensign Charles T. Wade, U. S N., be | brought to trial before general court martial"

RUSSIAN REFoRMERs ARRESTED
The Czar Puts Ten Leading Liberals
 In Jail.

The Czar Puts Ten Leading Liberals
 In Jail.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-The police at last have applied check to the activity of the central bureau of the League of Confederation of Profes- Eional Reform Organizations by de- scending on meeting of the central committee and arresting ten of the leaders present In this committee are included university lecturers, doctors, engineers, lawyers and other ,profes- sional men. The organizations of which the league is made up are con- posed of the most advanced reformers, and since its organization the central bureau has passed through radicalism to the verge of revolution Many of it's later proclamations and appeals have been couched in terms almost as sedi- tious as those of the Socialists. It is probable that the government feared the league was about to inaugurate campaign against the douma national assembly,.
 Paul NJ. Milukoff, at whose home, near St. Petersburg, the arrests were made and who was among those ar- rested, formerly was a professor in the University of St. Petersburg. He had just returned from a lecture trip down the Volga with the literatteur Iahn, one of the Socialist leaders. and an article from his pen violently as- sailing the douma project had appeared in the latest number of the weekly Pravo.
 Milukoff was one of those arrested on Jan. 23 last along with Gorky, Amen sky and Hessen.

Dear Mrs. Pnkham:-
About three years ago had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
l had tumor in the uterus.
II felt sure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately l
correspOnded with my aunt in the New Eng
and States, who ad vised me TO try Lydia e.
PinlSham's Vegetable Compound before sub
hitting to an operation, and at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months l noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper-
alton, and using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express how grateful am for the good
it has done me- Miss Luella Adams, Colon

Such unquestionable testimony
proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
