open switch at Ramirez station, nine
miles north of here nearly wrecked
the Oroville local train last evening.
The engine and two cars were thrown
off the track, but no one was injured.

opened by unknown persons with ma
licous intent
Detective William Ahern of the
Southern Pacific has been investigating
the wreck of the Orovile local train
this afternoon at the Ramirez spur
and Is now at Oroville. where he
probably is looking for suspects.
That the train was purposely wrecked
now seems certain, although doubted
at first While going 30 miles an hour
the train struck an open switch mt
Ramirez and went onto the short spur,
powed through the earth embankment
at the end and settled in the soft
ground beyond. A wrecking crew spent
more than half day getting the en-
gne, mail and express cars back on
the rails. although neither had cap
sized. Two coaches of the train re-
NAMED on the track. Conductor Kelly
walked to Honcut to wire for assist
ance.
Examination of the switch showed
the lock was broken off Engineer
Ketchum saw the open switch from
the cab window, but was too near to
stop. Constable Reilly of Oroville was
on the train and he arrested a tramp
and took him to Oroville, but the
trainmen knew that he had been riding
under one of the cars of the wrecked
train, so he was discharged

IN DISASTER
Accident Takes Place at Quarres Of
the Dolese G. Shepherd Company
at Gary, IIIinois-Cause Not De-
termined
BY Associated Press.

instantly killed, four others fatally
hurt and seven seriously injured by
the explosion of a ton of dynamite at
the quarres of the Dolese e. Shepard
compay at Gary, H.. today
All of the men injured are foreign
ers.
The cause of the explosion is not
known, but it is supposed that a box
containing one hundred pounds of the
explosive fell from the top of another
case while it was being warmed prior
to being used for blasting purposes and
that the explosion of this amount set
off the balance of the 1000 pounds.
The building in which the dynamite
was stored was at one end of the quar-
ry. in which about forty men We're
working. There were seven men in the
building. Three of the men who were
instantly killed were at work in II
ing in which the dynamite was stored.
The other two men were killed by the
conclusion while working in a black
smith shop close by.
OF the forty men at work in the
quarry hardly one escaped injury Of
some kind from the falling debris of
the wrecked buildings, but only eleven
of them were so badly hurt as to re-
quire assistance. The building in which
the dynamite was being warmed was
entirely demolished, and all of the
other structures belonging to the plant
were badly damaged. The total loss
to property is $25. 900.

Mrs. A. w. Gentry, Wife of Chicago
Merchant, Found in Dying condi-

Without Making Statement
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Nrs. A. w. Cen
try, 26 years old wife of the president
of the Universal Trading and Supply
company, was murdered today for some
unknown reason by a man whom the
police declare is r. j. Constantine, a
boarder in the Gentry home.
Mrs. Gentry died before she could
make a statement, and Constantine fled
from the building without his hat or
his coat and is now being sought by
TIE police.
At the time of the murder Mrs. Cen
try and Constantine were alone in the
apartments at 521 LaSalle avenue,
where the Gentry family lived.
Mrs. Gentry was about to leave pre-
paratory to going down town. when
Constantine attacked her, and after
cutting her throat from ear to ear
pushed her out into the hallway and
threw her down a flight of stairs.
The woman fell against the door of
the apartments occupied by DR.. David
j. Doherty on the floor below. The
physician, hearing the noise. came to
the door and at once took Mrs. Gentry
into his office and endeavored to save
her life. but she had lost so much
blood that she died within a few
minutes.
Dr. Doherty at once telephoned the
police. who arrived within few min
utes, but Constantine had fled before
they arrived.
Thomas Limboe janitor of the apart
ment building, declared that Constan-
tine came running down the back
stairway without his hat or coat and
asked Limboe to go back and get his
hat for him. Before he could comply
with the request Constantine dashed
into the street and fled
A razor belonging to Constantine,
and covered with blood, was found on
the floor of the apartment in which
the crime was committed.
1t is not believed Constantine can es-
cape arrest for any length of time.
Gentry arrived at his home a short
time after his wife had been killed,
but was unable to throw any light on
the cause of the tragedy.
81 cannot conceive" he said, "of
any reason why any person in the
world should attack my wife. The en-
tire affair is a complete mystery TO
me-"
1t was learned later in the day that
Constantine is the son of a wealthy
man living in New York city. 1t is re-
ported also that he is a member of the
firm of John Constantine & Son of
Harlem.
The man was young and from letters
found in his room by the police it is
evident that he had ample money.
There was evidence that he had been
stopping at the most expensive hotels
in Pittsburg, Boston and other cities.
So far as known he had no employ
ment. but was living on money sent
tC him from New York.

bors Gambling in One Of Its
Vilest Forms, Say
Officers

oh horrors! The Express office, the
home of the supposedly highly moral
newspaper owned by Edwin r. Earl,
has been harboring a crap game.
Think of it! a plebeian sport like
shooting craps! an organized game, if
you please, going on in the Express
office.
While the afternoon Morality Shrek
er has been devotng columns of space
and lurid headlines to denouncing rae
ing at Ascot and all forms of gambling;
while the official organ of the Don't
DO 1t Society has been hurting thun-
derbolts at all vice, within it's own
office one of the worst forms of gam
bling, according to the police, has been
in full sway.
The office was raided by the police
last evening and eighteen employees of
the Express were arrested and locked
up in the central police station on the
charge of gambling.
In the basement Of the office Off
GERS Moore, Riley, Bartoff and Carroll
found a crap game shortly after 7:45
o'clock.
For week or more policemen have
been watching the gambling each
evening during it's progress in the base
ment of the Express office
Having gathered sufficient evidence
against the Express employes-the Off
GERS gathered their evidence each even
ing-and last evening the detectives of
Captain Broadhead's office secluded
themselves. When the Express base
ment was crowded and the game we'll
started the officers closed all exits and
made the raid.
The boys ranged in aged from 16' to
90 years
Police officers say that the game has
been in progress for some time and
state positively that every evening for
week they have seen large crowd
of the newsboys gathered about a ring
throwing dice. They say that in the
Express office a big game has been in
progress and nearly all were taking q
hand.
Nov what dye tink of old Dad

remarked one of the unfortunates.
"Haw, it amt de Daily Way Freight
dat was pulled; it's his kids, de

Why, pal, dis big guy Ears in de list

don't give us no lip about fruit deals
or tryin to buy stock in Ascot; he quit

Bail for the boys caught in the raid
on the Express office was placed at
$50 each, but after a considera BILE per-
suasion the agents of the Express sue
ceeded in inducing the officers to re-
duce the bail to $40. Before 10 O'Clock

NEW YORK, Jan. Ga stay granted
at the last moment by the Washington
authorities saved Mrs Lydia M.
Thompson, the English woman who ar
rived from London on the Minneapolis
on New Years day, from being de-
ported ON the same steamer today.
Mrs. Thompson. who was on her way
to visit her distant relative and friend,
Mrs. Sarah Il. Scull at the latter's
country home in overlook, Il suburb
of Philadelphia, was so upset by the
terrors of an unusually rough voyage
that the immigration official found
yesterday that her mind had been af-
rected. They decided that as she was
an alien she must be deported forth
with.
Mrs. Scull pleaded in vain for her
friends release, offering to give bond
in any amount the government should
require that Mrs. Thompson would not
become a public charge. Commission
er Watchorn expressed sympathy, but
said the law was infeXible.. Meanwhile
Mrs. Scull had sent for her son, Mar
shall Ccull, and he came to New York,
went to a lawyer and obtained the
services Of the alienist, DR.. Dana. DR..
Dana examined Mrs. Thompson aboard
the Minneapolis and decided that she
was sound of mind.
Armed with DR.. Dana's opinion, Mrs.
Thompson's nephew, Mr.. Busset, went
to Washington and interviewed Com
missioner Metcalf of the department
of commerce and labor. After n tele-
phone conversation with Dr. Dana yes
terday afternoon Secretary Metcalf
telegraphed Ellis island, granting Mrs.
Thompson a stay of one week, which
he said was the best he could do under
the law.
Mrs, Thompson was then taken from
