MANY YEARS IMPRISONMENT
U. s. SEAMAN TO BECo NFINED AT
 WETHERSFIELD.

Maurice Burke of the Cruiser Tennes-
 see, Who Murdered the Chief Mas
 ter-at-Arms, Must Serve Twenty-five
 Years--Twenty of Them at Hard La-
 bOr-Sentcnce Approved by Secretary
 of Navy.
 Washington, April 24,-Twenty-five 24, years imprisonment, twenty of which shall be at hard labor, is the sentence of the court martial which recently tried Maurice Burke a seaman attach ed to the cruiser Tennessee, for mur- dering James A. Douglass, chief master at-arms, and assaulting and attempting to kill William McCool, master-at-arms, both of that vessel The sentence was approved by Secretary Metcalf to-day and the state prison at Wethersfield, Conn, has been selected as the place of confinement.
 Burkes crime was committed on the night of February last, while the Ten nessee was lying at the League Island navy yard, Philadelphia, He returned in an intoxicated condition after being given shore leave and when summoned before his superiors, drew a revolver, killing Douglass and wounding Me- Cool.
 The specifications included number of other charges of most serious na- ture, upon all of which he was found guilty.

TO REMEDY CAR SHORTAGE
Decisive Action Taken by American
 Railway Association.

Railway Association.
 Chicago, April 24.--Decisive action was taken to-day by the American Railway association to remedy the car shortage, as far as the trouble has been due to the lack of proper and equitable interchanging arrangements. The fail ure of some roads to furnish sufficient quota of equipment for their own traf- fic and the failure to provide and en- force proper rules for the return of for- eign cars to their own roads are re- sponsible for the shortage. To remedy the evil the association to-day adopted rule, to be confirmed later by letter ballot of all the roads, providing that any railroad which shall hereafter not promptly return to it's owner after un- loading all cars consigned to it will be penallzed five dollars for each car so misused, to be paid to the owner of the car. This penalty is in addition to the daily charge of fifty cents which, after July l, each road must pay for each car, not it's own, which may be on its lines.
 The report of the committee on stand ard rail sections was adopted unani- mously, and the steel rail manufactur- CTS will be told that the present rails are not up to specifications and that a better and safer rail must be provided.

.SPORTSMEN' s SHOW DELUGED
TANK CONTAINING 100000 GAL
 LIONS OF WATER BURSTS.

Pittsburg Audience Thrown into a
 Panic--Accident Happens Five Min
 utes After the show Opens-A Little
 Later Thousands Would Have Been
 in the Hall, and the Result More se-
 rious--Tank Intended for the Water
 Sports.
 Pittsburg, April 24.--Just five minutes after the first annual sportsmen's show opened In this city tonight at the Du- quesne Garden, a huge tank. which was to be used for the water sports, suddenly burst and 100000 gallons of water rushed out over the large hall
 There were several hundred visitors present and these panic-stricken. sue ceeded in reaching the promenade of the garden, which is about ten feet higher than the floor space. being used for the show, before any of them were injur- cd.
 According to the management of the gardens, had the accident occurred hali an hour later when the spectators would have probably numbered thou. sands, the result would have been ser ious. In their rush for places of safe ty many were knocked down anC trempled Leading to the promenade are dozen or more steps and 1t waS here that the panic assumed seriou. proportions.
 That no fatalities occurred, is also att tributed to the fact that the gardens, which covers floor space of 29,40C feet is used for Ice skating and pos sesses numerous water outlets These were opened immediately and in a few moments all the water had disap- peared
 The tank was seventy feet long, forty | feet wide and six feet high. It was completed only last night and various water sports were to have taken place in 1t during the next ten days The tank was tested ani thought to be in excellent shape and it's sudden bursting cannot be accounted for. Thirty cages of wild animals from the Highland Park zoo, here, a num- Der of state and government exhibits valued at many thousand of dollars were savei from damage by employees of the building. While the decorations were somewhat injured the show will be continued.

SOME FAKE BARONETS.
England to Prevent Unlawful Use of
 the Title.

London, April 24.-Unlike the titles granted in some continental countries, those of the British aristocracy have always seemed to rest upon a solid foundation, based as they have been on royal decrees. patents and prece- dence, and carefully enveloped in red tape.
 It developed this evening, however, that there is alloy in the gold of the baronetage, for a special departmental committee has issued a report saying there is no doubt that number of persons have assumed the title of bar onet, either wrongfully or upon the most doubtful basis, These cases ap- proximate five or six per cent. of the entire baronetage.
 This committee recommends legisla- tive action to create a tribunal that shall prevent the unlawful use of any title.
