cording to the Instruments.

Washington, Oct. Ian earthquake of
great violence was recorded by the seis-
mograph at the weather bureau today.
The strong motion of the disturbance be-
gan shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
and subsidized about six minutes later the
approximate time. as first shown by the
government instruments being from 9:14

The weather bureau issued the follow
ing bulletin: Just after the sheets of

GAVEL WELDED BY TAFT
Philippine Assembly Is Formally
0pened-Secretary Not in
Favor of independence,

Manila, Oct. 16-Secretary Taft formally
opened the Philippine assembly in the
National theatre at II 10 this morning. in
the presence of a large crowd of people.
In his opening address Mr.. Taft declared
that his views announced two years ago
regarding the independence of the Philip
pine people were unchanged. He did not
believe that they would be fitted to gov
ern themselves for at least a generation,
but he added that the matter was entire
iy in the hands of congress.
The secretary denied emphatically that
the United States had any intention of
disposing of the islands; said re had alb
solute confidence in the Filspinos. denied
that he was disappointed at their ability
to legislate conservatively. and asserted
his belief that they felt their responsible
ity and acknowledged the necessity of
supporting the American government.
Mr. Taft refrained from suggestions re-
garding specific legislation by the assem-
bly,, but recommended that attention Re
paid to the civil service.
The new assemblymen and the provin-
ciaI governors were the guests of Gov
ernor General Smith at a grand ball to-
night. Secretary Taft failed to satisfy
some of the American residents of Ma
Mia regarding the policy of the American
government. The general impression is
that his speech was placative. He init
mated that misbehavior would result In
the adjustment of the assembly but it
is declared that this contingency is not
expected AS for the Filipinos. they ex-
pressed no opinion of Mr.. Taft's speech
one way or the other.

KEPT IN IGNORANCE.
Accident Not Allowed to Interfere
With Dupont Wedding.

New York Oct 16.-The marriage of
Alfred L. Dupont De Nemours, vice
president of the Dupont Powder COM
pany, of Delaware, and Mrs. Alicia
Maddox, his second cousin, took place
yesterday at the Plaza hotel Only the
members of the immediate families
were present.
Neither Mr.. Dupont nor his brother
Maurice who is the active head of the
powder company, were allowed until
today to hear of +he explosion at the
powder plant at Fontanet, Ind. Their
friends believed the hrqthers would
both insist on the postponement of
the marriage. in order that they
might hurry to Indiana.
1t is likely that the automobile trip
that the bridegroom and bride had
planned through New England will be
abandoned, and that both will start in
the automobile for Indiana.
Mrs. Dupont is a daughter of Judge
Bradford of the United States circuit
court, and is a granddaughter OF
Alexis l. Dupont. son of the original
founder of the powder company.

TH|RTY-E|GHT
PERSONS KILLED
Six Hundred injured, Fifty of
Them Seriously, in the
Fontanet Disaster.
PROPERTY LOSS $4,000
"HOT BOX" CAUSE OF THE AW-
Full EXPLOSION.

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE latest
estimates of the destruction wrought
by the explosion at the Dupont pow
der mills yesterday morning is that
thirty-eight persons were killed, 900
injured, fifty seriously. and a property
loss of approximately $750,000 caused.
From a workman employed in the glaz-
ing mill IT was learned today that a
hot box" due to too much friction or.
the shafting, caused sparks to be
transmitted to some loose powder, was
in all probability the cause of the ter
rible catastrophe. The employc, whose
name is William Sharrow, and who is
dangerously hurt as the result of the
explosion, said:
The explosion was caused by loose
boxing on the shafting. The day be-
fore the explosion happened We had TO
throw water on the boxing when il
became too hot. This time il got too
hot and sent off the sparks that caused
the explosion"
Another company of state militia ar
rived from Indianapolis this evening
and Immediately went into camp.
The town is now under martial law,
the two companies of state troops
b><ng irf full control. Coroner Leavitt
spent the entire day in investigating
the cause of the accident. The coroner
declares that it is his opinion that not
more than thirty men were at work al
the time the explosion occurred. He
said that in an explosion of the in
tensity of this one it was probable that
a number of persons might be blown TO
atoms and their bodies never recOv-
cred. The injured at this place and
Terre Haute are improving. and it is
thought no more deaths viii occur.

Bloomington, ILL.,. Oct. 16-Nearly 800 del

Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs yes
terday heard from Mrs Adlai E. Steven
son. wife of the former vice president, the
humane side of the race suicide argu-
ment.
There is no thoughtful woman in
America" said Mrs. Stevenson. who has
not been mhe than startled by the APP
peal for larger families. While this ap-
peal has been most urgent. / do not recall
that there has been one word In reference
to the health or life of the mother, nor
has the ability of the mother physically.
mentally, morally. spiritually or finan-
cially to rear children been touched upon.
THE question should not be. how many
children but their condition and what
kind of citizens they will make. The plea
that some thought should he given to pro-
longing the life of the mother and thus
protect the babes. should occupy first
place in the work of mother clubs. The
size of the family is of less Importance.
