THE ONE ACCIDENT CAME.
at Never Happens to Shooter b
Once,r Said Jimmie O'Hare.

at Never Happens to a Shooter But
Once" Said Jimmie O'Hare.
When Jimmie O'Hare was blown into
fragments at Chelsea one day last
week by the explosion Of a wagon load
of nitroglycerine a prophecy was full
filed that was first made more than
twenty years ago and was reiterated
times without number in every oil dis
trict in the country. For Jimmie had
worked in every district in the country
where the chug Of the oil drill has been
heard. and in his life he handled
enough explosives to have destroyed
Port Arthur several times. Daily he
lived in close association with hun
dreds of gallons of nitrog ycerine, and
II was a common sight in the oil coun-
try to see him rattling over the hills
OF the seat of a wagon loaded with
the deadly explosive.
He will get 1t some day." the boys
in the Pennsylvania oil fields began
saying more than twenty years ago,
and have repeated it everywhere Jim
mie went.
But all these years Jimmie laughed
at the prophecies and laughing, would
load up his wagon and rattle out into
the country to shoot a we'll, taking with
him. from one to two hundred quarts
of nitroglycerine. But the trite adage
of the pitcher tells the story Of Jim
mics end. AS is usually the case In
such accidents, nobody knows or ever
will know how it happened. There was
an explosion that shook the country for
miles around and when an investiga-
ton was made there was little to be
found except a wide, deep hole In the
ground.
The man who was killed often told OF
incidents that illustrated the freakish-
ness of the explosive he handled, and 1t
may have been some freak that cost
him his life. Jimmie used to tell OF
the runaway in the streets OF Brad
ford, Pa, when a team dragged giy-
cerine wagon the whole length OF a
street, the cans ricochetting around
ike billiard balls, and no explosion oc-
Cured. Then of another case which
occurred in the old days, when the gly-
cerine box was located right over the
springs of the wagon. There was a
leaky can and three drops falling on
the springs caused the loss Of two
lives. He told of still another case
where a shooter on a spree hurled bot
ties Of glycerine against a rock. All
of the bottles broke, but not one ex-
ploded He would close with his story
Of that singular occurrence which took
place in Chanute last spring, when a
glycerine magazine caught fire and
was entirely burned without explod-
ing. And then he would say IT'S the
friction, and that's what I'm always
| looking out for"
Maybe Jimmie forgot the friction
for once.
Jimmie had certain rules he observ-
ed when handling nitroglycerine. One
day while discussing explosives he
said
"A man had better quit this business
when he loses his nerve. 1t Is just like
handling a nettle. Take hold Of 1t and
take hold strong. A nervous or pam
icky fellow had better stay away from
glycerine, because something Will nap
pen, and 1t never happens to shooter
but once"
Jimmie was known to nearly every
oil man in New York, Pennsylvania

COMES FROM EAST
To AID HER SON.

OAKLAND. Sept 1s.-A mothers
love has caused Mrs. Albert Johnson
to cross a continent that she might be
of assistance to an erring youth who
is accused of stealing a tray of dia-
monds from a Berkeley jewelry store.
She has arrived from New York and
this morning, after long conference
with her son. she announced that he
would plead guilty and ask to be
placed on probation
Mrs. Johnson has not been idle since
her arrival and already she has en-
listed the services OF several prominent
men, among them being the unusual
combination of the Rev. E. E. Baker,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, and Harry Corbett OF sporting
fame. Mrs. Johnsons husband is a
detective employed by New York
lawyer.
My son must be a good boy. else
would not have crossed the continent
to try to save him." said Mrs. Johnson.
Albert is the second of 1--WE children.
none of whom has ever been in trouble
before. He is simply an overgrown
boy He came out to San Francisco to
see the ruins, went broke and was
ashamed TO write home for money.
That accounts for his trouble ana
feel satisfied that Judge Harris will
place him on probation when he learns
the truth. Albert Is only seventeen

ASKS JAPAN AID
To SAVE SHIP.

HONOLULU. Sept. ls,-The Japanese
training ship Aragaws, en- route to this
port, is at Midway Island. NeBotia-
tions are in progress between the Paci-
fic Mail Steamship Company and the
Japanese Government, the object of
which is to obtain the aid of the Ara
gawa in floating the Mongolia. The
transport Rosecrans probably will be
sent to Midway Island to aid. The
cable ship Restorer. with Captain Met
calf and bis wrecking tackle on board
will sail at noon tomorrow.
There is no change in the position OF
the Mongolia. The weather conditions
continue the same. The passengers of
the liner are all well. Everything is
well organized
1t is suggested here, however, that
the swell from the Hongkong typhoon
may ex I'D to Midway and endanger
the Mongolia still more. During storms
at Midway the swell almost sweeps
over the island and ff-shore commune
cation is almost impossible. The swell
from the Hongkong typhoon, IL 1t ex-
tended outward, may be expected TO
reach Midway in four or five days.
This creates a necessity for the speedy
removal of the Mongolia's passengers
WASHINGTON, Sept 1s.-The plight
of the 500 passengers of the ngolia
was made known to Government off,
cials here today through cablegram
received by the manager in this city
of the Commercial Cable Company. The
necessity for the immediate sending
of supplies was made apparent and
the question was raised If 1t would be
in contravention of the coastwise navi-
cation laws to send relief ship un-
der foreign register.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton OF the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and in turn the Treasury
Department officials were consulted
and the decision reached that there
would be no objection to sending the
built cable-ship Restorer, now
at Honolulu. to Midway Island at once,
carrying needful provisions, supplies
and wrecking apparatus for the relief
Of the Mongolia and passengers.
There are ordinarily less than forty
people on Midway Island. and the in
fiux Of 500 additional population will
mean serious drain on the resources
OF the island unless immediate relief is
given.

OAKLAND, Sept. 1e.-Albert Henno.
member of the family of DR.. G. b.
Henno. prominent physician of this
city. who resides at 754 Eighth street.
has been arrested on a charge of en-
oezziing more than $1,000 from the Arm
OF Sheldon & Smith, hay, grain and
feed dealers. by whom he was en-
pioyed as a bookkeeper. and now oc-
cupies cell at the City Prison. Henno
was arrested az the Office of the firm,
Second and Market streets, and pend
ing the ming of complaint by his ac-
cusers his name has been entered on
the detfnue book at the Central police
station.
Henno has been employed by Shell
don & Smith for more than four wears
and during. that time enjoyed the full
est confidence of the members of the
firm. When the shortage In the cash
was first discovered some weeks ago
Smith, who later caused the arrest OF
the bookkeeper, never suspected that
Henno was the guilty man, but inves-
tigation proved beyond all doubt, ac-
cording to Smith, that the bookkeeper
was the thief.
The blow of the young mans arrest
and imprisonment came with crushing
force to the members of his family and
as result OF the shock of the dis
covery Of her sons guilt Hennoss
mother is now under the care OF a phy-
stefan and fears ara entertained for
her life.
The qualification of tastes beyond his
income is given as the reason for
Henno's peculations.

outhouse attached to the building itself
had been burned.

when Mrs. Benson discovered the
flames they were only about hundred
feet from the shack in which she and
her child were quartered, and were
coming on like whiriwfnd
To have attempted to move the child
in the cold of the morning would have
been fatal and Mrs. Benson determined
to fight the flames. Securing bIan-
ket she soaked 1t In a tub Of water and
continued her fight against the flames

PLANS TO BEAUT|FY
LAKE MERRITT.

OAKLAND, Sept 19.-Extensive plans
for beautifying the shore of Lake Mer-
ritt. completing the Harrison Boule-
ward and securing a large tract of land
on the northern shore of the lake to be
used as a park, have been completed
by the Board of Public Works. and
specifications and estimates for the
work submitted by City Engineer Tur-
ner. The ordinances providing for the
appropriation Of the money necessary
for the completion of the boulevard
and the purchase OF the land for the
park have been passed to print and
the work will begin In a short time.
Mayor Frank K. Mott during his en-
tire administration has been detern1in-
ed to transform the lake shore from
its present uncared for condition into
an attractive series of boulevards and
small parks Mainly through his ef-
forts property owners along the shore
of the lake were induced to cede GER
tain lands to the city for park and
boulevard purposes. Every obstacle in
the way of the improvements which
mean so much to the city have now
been removed and within q very short
time the lake shore will present a
beautiful appearance.
Mayor Mott in discussing the i'm
provement of the lake shore and the
completion of the boulevard declared
mated for public use had obligated it
self to- complete as soon as possible
the proposed work, and that under the
circumstances there SHOULD be no un-
necessary delay in beginning opera
tions.
