FOURTH HOME
 AND ABROAD With Incomplete Returns Celebration Costs Seven Lives in New
 York.
ROOSEVELT HAS
 FIREWORKS SHOW
Brilliant Banquet of Arneri- cans and Others at Hotel Cecil,
 London.

New York, July 4.-Independence day, ushered in with a bang, went out to- night in a blaze of pyrotechnics, the most imposing that New Workers have witnessed. A deafening roar, main. talned throughout the day by the burning of millions of dollars worth of powder, gave way after nightfa1l to the exhibitions of firework experts, who lighted the skies with effects of sur passing beauty.
 Viewed from Its brighter side, the holiday was truly glorious. A smiling sun and moderate temperature brought the tens of thousands to the beaches, the public parks and amusement re- sorts, and everywhere there was noise and funmaking.
 In the background the police and hos pital surgeons went grimly about their work of removing the dead and minis- fering to the wounded. Tonight the police were reckoning the cost in cas- llaltfes of the days celebration. At a late hour the list was not complete, but it was known that this celebration had cost seven lives, that half a dozen per- sons were dying, and that hundreds of others were being treated at the hos pitals for injuries ranging from slight burns, with the possibility of tetanus, to bullet wounds and lost limbs. Of the dead three succumbed in premature celebrations.
 In an ecstacy of patriotism Arthur Carraro rapidly discharged revolver in his backyard One of the bullets entered the head of his aunt, Mrs. AL fonso Fucarino, and she was killed. The next bullet, by design or accident, Killed the celebrator, Another person sent a bullet crashing through the brain of eighteen-year-o Nimpa Grizzant[ as she stood near the open window of her room dressing her hair.

DAY IN BOSTON
Huge Bonhres Feature of Inaeucn-
 dence Celebration.

demce Celebration
 Boston, July 1.-The blazing of huge Donfires in many open parts of the citv and suburbs and the constant exn,o. sions of ffecrackers formed a brilliant and noisy prelude to the celebration of independence day in Boston. The fair weather brought thousands of bows and girls, as we'll as their elders. into the streets and parks in the earlv morning hours. The customary munlc- dpal exercises were held in Faneutl hall this forenoon, the oration of the day being delivered by Rev. Dr. Edward IA Horton, chaplain of the state senate. while the Declaration of Independence was read by Reginald B. O'Cal1aghen Dorchester boy and a pupil in the Boston Latin school. There were ath- ietic events on the city playgrounds and public fields throughout the day. and in the evening there were band concerts and fireworks on the common and in several of the parks Many To- cal patriotic organizat tions held formal celebrations. There were abundant sporting features including morning and afternoon games between wash ington and Boston on the American league grounds, numerous amateur baseball games, golf tournaments, yachting regattas and athletic events. The most important track and field meet was that of the Clan-na- Gael so- cieties at Oak Island grove, East Bos- ton
 Reports from all sections of New England indicate that the days cele- brations were generally on a more elab- crate scale than usual
 In the city proper the ordinance for bidding the use of explosives before 4 a. m. to-day was strictly enforced, and there were about fifty arrests made in this connection. As a result the might before" was one of the quietest ever known here. At the various hos pitals this forenoon it was said that there had been fewer accidents than usual, and that none of those reportd had proved serious.

were any accidents caused by the fire- works,
 At the first stroke of o'clock the lights were all turned off and the green became mass of heaving darkness for Ia few moments. Then the first rockets hurtled over the treetops, and for half an hour novel and beautiful display of the ingenuities of colored powder, worked up by the Connecticut Fire works company, greeted those who had come forth to behold. It was a most successful display, On every hand was heard the declaration that the program of fireworks was the finest ever given | in this city. On account of ex-Mayor Sargent's illness the program originally planned had to be abandoned, and that given last night was an entirely new one, The employees of the company worked night and day to get the new program arranged, and, despite their short time, produced a most admirable result.
 Among the many pieces put on, the beautiful tower of fire surmounted by the American flag, and the representa- ton of the Bennett memorial fountain were the leadlngsfeatures The entire program was excellent in originality, splendid in design and brilliant in col bring. In fact, the brtlliancy and length of burning time formed two im- portant factors in the effectiveness of the pieces.
 Acting Mayor Johnson, when seen after the display, said that it surpags- ed his greatest expectations. He de- clared that the members of the com- mittee deserved the heartiest eongrat- ulations for their success. Senator Ho- man, chairman of the committee, ex- pressed himself as heartily satisfied with the results under the conditions that existed.
 Absence of excessive noise was one of the features of the program, but few of the exhibits giving loud detonations. The display was carried out without accident to mar its glory. New Haven may well be proud of the event of 1907.
 When the fireworks were over the illumination was turned on again and the band played for about an. hour longer. The mass of the crowd, how ever, dispersed within a few minutes of the conclusion of the display.
 The date for the next illumination and concert has not yet been fully de- cided upon. It will probably be next Wednesday evening, however. The Second Regiment band will play.
 In addition to the sums already &C.,
 znowledged by the committee for the celebrations, BIO has been received in checks, $5 each from George D. Wat rous and Roger s. Baldwin.

 Admiral Thompson says that war is inevitable, but he does not believe that Great Britain will assist her ally and thinks that while the Philippines may be the real outset of the war, in the end the resources of the United States must re- suit in the defeat of the Japanese. He believes that in event of hostilities France would give financial aid to Ja- pan.

MIR. BILL" SQUARES A FALSE ALARM
Continued from First Page.)

Burns The two came Into a clinch
 immediately but were quickly separa- ted in the center of the ring by Jim Jeffries, referee.
 Burns lost no time in following up
 the advantage he had gained so early. Out shot the dangerous right again and
 second time the champion of Aus tralia was on the convas with Jeffrles standing over him slowly calling off the seconds. But the end was not yet. Squires evidently had some staying powers in the face of punishment ad- ministered to him and he rose weakly and slowly while Jeffries held back
 Burns until his adversary was in posi- tion to defend himself.
 But squires had little defense left.
 The terrific rights to the jaw had ac- complished the result, and the men
 were barely in position again when the Canadian resumed his telling aggres- site campaign. Burns landed where and when he pleased, and for few seconds continued the rain of blows.
 The arms of the Australian then drop- ped in helpless fashion by his side.
 Then the finish to the fight came. Burns deliberately selected his mark, and with all of the power that was in his shoulder he sent his right to the point of the jaw.
 It seemed almost a useless task for Jeffries to go through the formallty of lcounting the man out. There was not Ia spectator in the arena that did not realize that the fight was over, and rush was made to the ring to congrat- ! ulate the victor. The fight lasted ex- actly two minutes and eight seconds.
 The fight proved nothing more than that Squires was an overrated man.
 Burns, while demonstrating his inl- measurable superiority over the Aus
 tralian, did not have any opportunity 1 to demonstrate whether he is actually entitled to the high pugilistic title that has been bestowed on him.
 The receipts were far beyond expect Iations. The enclosure was crowded and l 1t is estimated that the proceeds were between $26,0OO and $27OO0. Burns earned $1S,OOO-the $1O,O0O side bet and his $S,000 guarantee. Squires takes 24
 per cent. of the gross receipts, about
 $6,SOO
 squires after the fight said that he had been led to believe that Burns was not "knocker-out." This belief made him careless at the beginning of the contest and resulted in the early blow to the jaw which dazed him.
 Burns said: T saw the moving pie
 lures of Squires in training. When I
 saw how he carried himself and how he acted I knew that l would not have any difficulty in defeating him. I went Into the ring with the fullest confidence that I would be the winner"

HEENAN'S LEG BROKEN
Bad Injury Is That Sustained by Cen-
 traI Officer.

The injury sustained by Patrolman James Heenan of Central Station early yesterday morning, when he slipped in police headquarters, proved to be even more serious than was thought at first. Heenan sustained transverse fracture of the leg bone, right under the knee on the left leg, and will probably be laid up for several months. Dr. Spier upon examination had him conveyed to the New Haven hospital, where he is now being treated.

A WOMAN is NOT A .PERsoN"

A most amusing incident re.
Gently occurred in st Johns
New Brunswick, where i Miss
Mabel French, after passing her
cxa mination with high honors,
was denied permission TO prac-
tice law in the supreme court
because according to the "Act''
only persons" were allowed
to practice law. and women
were not persons only men
were persons.
Soon after woman was ar.
rested for drunkenness, and on
trial pleaded mot guilty." being
"a women" and mot a person"
therefore not amendable to
law. The magistrate found the
law to read that any person
found drunk was liable to fine or
Imprisonment; and .uled that
according to the decision Of the
supreme court women we're not
persons and could not be i'm
prisoned or fined" So the pris-
cner was discharged.
As a result the legislature
promptly passed an Act"
designing women as persons; SO
Miss French was allowed her
degree in law.
But no study OF woman s
political progress can be just
that does not take into account
her rapid and enormous devel-
opment in the faculty of
organization, and intelligent
interest in public concerns.
These are a bsolutely essential to
the formation OF q democracy,
TO the wise and safe exercise Of
the suffrage; and it is precisely
in these that the phenomenal
record Of the women movement
is most clear.
The strongest proof Of wo
mems inferiority is her lack OF
association; only in religious
bodies was she allowed TO organ.
