THE WORLDS PROGRESS

the total population shown above is ex-
planned. ~nHsi
Spain, Italy. Austria, Hungary and
Japan all have birth rates of over 30 per
1000. but their death rates are equally
high, the lowest OF the group being
Japan, with a rate of 20 per 1000, and the
highest Spain. with rate of 25S per 1000
The lowest death rate is that possessed
by Denmark, where it stands at 1879 per
1000, and as the Danes have a birth rate
of S.5 per 1000, their position is an envia-
BILE one. tqH,El T.
. The United Kingdom is among the most
favorable so far as death rate is con-
cerned-165 per 10Oo-but its birth rate has
steadily fallen to 27.6. Generally speaking,
it may be said that the greatest vitality
may be found In the east of Europe.

Gently adopted by the convention at
Guthrie for the proposed new state
of Oklahoma and declared that the
next session of congress would pass
new enabling act.
Secretary Taft explained with en-
phasis that he was not here as the
representative of President Roosevelt
and the views he expressed were en-.
tirely his own and in no sense should
be considered as being inspired by
the president. The greater part OF
Secretary Taft's address was con.
fined to state issues. The warmth
with which he spoke against the adop.
ton Of the constitution was a sur
prise to most of the party leaders
present.
Secretary Taft discussed national
issues along the same lines as in the
Ohio speech.
Secretary Taft took up the tariff
and reiterated his former statements
regarding revision Of it, the policy
with respect to the dependencies in
the Philippines, the question OF
whether we should have government
ownership or railway regulation, the
treatment by the present administra-
ton of trusts, the foreign policy and
the navy, and urged the new state OF
Oklahoma to range itself under the
progressive principles of 1neodore
Roosevelt, who did things. rather
than in the ranks of a party of in.
efficiency and negation like the
democracy which had the support
only of the state of the solid south

FATAL !, EXPLOSION
ITALIANS FEAR REPETITION OF
EARTHQUAKE AND STAMPEDE
USE KNIVES IN MAD RUSH
Shock of Explosion at Dupont Works
Frightens Employees at Canning
Factory Miles Away.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 26.-Three
tons of nitroglycerin exploded at the
Dupont Powder company's works at
Sobrante bay, sixteen miles north OF
Berkeley today, killing two persons
there, destroying three buildings and
causing frenzied fight among Italian
laborers at the factory of the Fruit
Canneries association, several miles
distant.
When the shock of the first eXplo-
sion was felt at the canning factory,
several men rushed out into the street
to investigate the cause. They re-
entered the building and cried that
it was an earthquake. There was a
general rush for the doors and a Sec
ond and third explosion followed
throwing the Italian laborers into a
panic.
Men and women fought to escape
from the building, fearing a recur-
renee of the horrors of the recent
earthquake. Knives were drawn and
men cut and slashed their way to
the exits, tramping the injured under
their feet.
At least thirteen persons were
badly injured but, though many of the
knife wounds are serious, it is be.
lieved that none will prove fatal. Six
of the injured are women. They were
taken to the Central Emergency hos.
pital, where it was found that one,
whose name cannot be learned, is
suffering from internal injuries, the
result Of being trampled upon. An
others skull is fractured from blow.
At the Dupont Powder works the
wreck is almost complete. Two men
are dead, others are injured and the
monetary loss is estimated at $4,000.
