BACHELOR CLOTHES
5000 WOMEN
Says 1t Means Death to Cultivation Of
Something to Gentler '
Sex.

San Francisco, Cal, June 14.-Be
ginning tomorrow Rudolph WE'LL, the
millionaire merchant and philanthro
pist, will furnish complete outfits Of
clothing to 5000 needy women.
Mr.. WE'LL is a bachelor and feels
that he owes something to the gentlel
sex, and has taken this novel method
to discharge the debt. No questions
will be asked and the recipients of Mr.
Weill's generosity need not even give
their names.
To fifty charitable women he has
given the task of selecting those to
be outfltted and a card from any one
of the judges will entitle the holder to
dresses and cloaks, shoes and lingerie.
Makes Levy on Bachelor.
81 summoned 2n extraordinary ses.

humorous way In which Mr.. WE'LL puts

This is one tax levy that there Is no
way to veto.
"You see, never had the pleasure
Of providing for wife. In a time
of stress such as this, when heads OF
families have been put to their wits
ends in attending to the wants of those
dependent upon them, my conscience
has troubled me, SO decided to levy
the tax. When 5000 needy women
Shall have been supplied with complete
outfits of clothing | shall feel that ]
have done something Of my duty to-
ward the other sex. This is not a
matter of philanthrophy, except to-
ward myself. | want to free myself of
an accusing conscience"
Sees Opportunity for Others.
Mr., WE'LL was asked whether he
believes other bachelors ought to fol-
low his example.
THAT is question which they must
settle in their own minds" said he.
IF they feel they owe a debt to the
women of the land and have the means
wherewith to meet the obligation,
suppose they ought to settle. This is
good time for the San Francisco
bachelor to square up and balance his
books"

Docked at Liverpool After
Discharging Passengers.

Liverpool, June 14.-Nine men were
instantly killed and some forty others
wounded following a terrific explo-
sion on the British steamer Haverford
this morning. Some of the injured,
it is believed, will die. The cause Of
the explosion is as yet undetermined
but there are rumors that 1t was
caused by an Internal machine. The

landed her passengers yesterday. The
stevedOres were in the act of loosen
ing the steamers matches when sud-

and hurled dead and wounded men in
all directions. Several bodies were
dismembered. Fire followed. A car

soon blazing fiercely, but after a two
hours fight, the fire was subdued.
Naptha Caused Terrible Accident.
Later it was said the disaster was
apparently caused by an explosion of
barrel OF naptha. The death list now
totals nine.
Was No Internal Machine Aboard.
The report that the explosion on
the Haverford was due to an internal
machine arose from the finding of
a wooden box a foot square in one of
the holds. The box was only partly
shattered, and still contained pieces
OF steel machinery. Officials of the
international Navigation Company say
they believe the explosion was due Ito
the igniting of gas given off by naptha
soap which formed part of the cargo

attack on talking machines today at

of the Senate and House.
II tell you the human voice Is not
heard as it used to be- he said, "and

Sale Of instruments Decreasing.
Another evidence that these ma.
chimes are taking the musical initiative
from our people is that the sale OF

dealers tell me this is on account OF
the increased use of the talking ma

DAMAGING FLOODS
IN COLORADO
Rivers Overlooking
Banks Causing
Heavy Losses.
BLAME SNOW AND RAINS
Railroad Bridge Carried Off
at Ouray and Houses
Swept Away.

Durango, Colo, June l4.-The Ami
mas River is three inches higher to-
day than during the highest period
last year and last year 1t was the
highest in 20 years The river is
mile wide in the valley above Duran
go, many ranches being covered.
The railroad tracks are covered for
distance of several miles and trains
are compelled to run slow. But little
damage so far has been done to the
railway tracks, because last year they
we're raised to guard against future
floods. Much trouble Is being had
with the Rio Grande Southern tracks
near Dolores, where they are covered
with water.
Gunnison River Rising Rapidly.
Gunnison, Colo, June l4.-The Gun.
nison River is on the rampage in real
earnest and is doing much damage
along the valley south Of this city,
1t is higher than it has been in over
twenty years and the large amount OF
snow still in the mountains will swell
its waters to the highest point. In
some places in the mountains there Is
still five and six feet of snow. The
state fish hatchery the Hartman ranch
McDougal fish ponds and other places
are threatened with much damage.
Destructive Waters at Ouray.
Ouray, Colo, June 14.-The warm
weather of the last three days has
converted the Uncompahgre River
into a raging torrent with considerable
destruction of property as result. One
railroad bridge has been washed away,
the ice house of the Ouray Ice Com
pany went out last night and several
small houses along the banks of the
river have been washed away.
Serious damage has been done at
several points along the Rio Grande
tracks, and a train load of Japs are
engaged in the attempt to save the
railroad property from further damage.
The river Is higher than ever tonight
and 1t is probable that several bidges
the property of the city, will be car
ried away although every POSSIBLE
effort Is being made to save them.
Heavy Storm Floods Pueblo.
Pueblo, Colo, June 14-One of the
heaviest storms that has struck Pueb-
10 for more than year broke upon
the city at 5 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon. The northern part of the city
received no rain whatever, while the
southern portion, especially Bessemer,
was practically flooded. Street car
transportation was delayed for some
time, electric light wires were knocked
out in various localities and Columbia
school was struck by lightning. Tele-
phone communication south and west
to Beulah was knocked out.

Brave Name a Curse.

st. Petersburg, June 14.-Such
shrewd judges of the situation as Pro.

imistic daily. The Radical element in
the lower House Of Parliament are
getting more and more out of hand
and events in the interior are march.
ing SO rapidly that people almost doubt
whether the surrender Of the govern
ment for a responsible ministry would
not now come too late. The leaders,
consequently, are preparing for event
ualities. The authority of Parliament
Is growing constantly in the country
and If the extreme elements can be
held in check little longer the lead
ers hope that when the crisis comes
the government will realize the fu-
tility Of resistance. On the other
hand, the Agrarian movement which
is now extending in all directions,
threatens parliament as well as the
government, and 1t is increasingly
manifest that the troops who come
from the villages are siding with the
peasants from whom they were re-
cruited.
cossacks Also RebeIious.
Even the Cossacks are beginning to
rebel against the odious work Of hold
ing the people in subsection. A Cos
sack member Of the lower House
claims to have received thousand
letters from Cossack soldiers saying
that they are tired of playing the role
of oppressors Of the people and adding
that the time-honored name of the
Cossack, formerly synanomous with
brave protectors of the country against
the ravages of the savage hordes on
the border lands, was now anathema-
tized and they desired to right the
wrongs they have been compelled to
infict on the nations people.
