GREATEST DISASTER OF THE YEAR
Du Pon Powder Mills Blow Up with Terrible Loss Of Life.
The Shock of the Explosion Caves in Coal Mines and
Three Hundred are Entombed

At Oils o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the great powder mills of the
Dupont Company blew up. The
explosion seems to have been
started IN the glazing mill and
was followed at intervals OF few
minutes by the blowing up of all
the other mills. An hour and a
half later while physicians were
attending the wounded the msga-
zine where thousands of kegs of
powder were stored. several hun
dred yards away also exploded.
This explosion was the heaviest
OF the series and injured the res
ouers as we'll as being telt in Chi
oago and St Louis.
About forty persons were
killed and over 100 injured by the
explosion At a slightly later
hour the coal mines, OF which
there are many in the town OF
Fontanet. caved in as a result OF
the shock and 800 miners were
cntombed. The work of rescue
which was at once begun has at
this writing. made little progress.

which raises very alarming sus-
picion in the minds OF many:
"Rumor has been rite that the
explosion was caused not by over
heated shafting as indicated by a
dying employe OF the glazing
mill but through the carelessness
of Japanese workman employed
in the plant. This report. how
ever, is not gwen much cTedence
but it nevertheless will be thor
oughly gone into when the in
vestigation into the disaster is
made.
Some people go so far as TO
say that If the blowing up ot the
Du pont mills was caused by a
Jap that they believe 1t was IN
territorial and not accidental.
These persons cite the cases of the
blowing up OF the powder works
and magazines in Manchuria and
Harbin by Japs before the Japa
nese Russian war was declared and
assert that this method of proceed
ure to cripple the ammunition
supply of Russia before the clash
came was adopted by ;he Japs. In
view of the recent Developments
in the United States they contend
j, is not impossible that Japanese
were behind the blowing up OF the
Du Pont works which were among
the biggest IN the United States
and one OF the chief sources OF
powder supply of the army and
navy"

To The Public.

! wish to have a few words
with you who are Interested IN
the welfare of our boys, and as
sumo that all are Interested.
OF the boys attending our pub
lac schools an alarmingly large
number use tobacco. Some chew.
some smoke cigars, pipes or Gig
arettes. There may be parents
who do not object to this. but
they are few. and OF these few !
think here are none who would
defend IL believe there is no
habit more expensive. more filthy
and more ineXcusable among
men; more pernicious. degrading.
injurious among boys. And | be
lieve that the community will
agree with me that a public school
education may be quite adequate
without a course in tobacco using.
And ! am sure that 1t there be
any who favor the use of the
weed. your sense of fairness tells
you that your neighbors have
right to send their boys to school
without fear that your boys might
teach them to use it.
Time spent in the discussion of
this vicious. troublesome ard
many-sided evil would be wasted.
The thing to be attended to is its
suppression. And ! am address
ing you to say that the school
board and teachers-in fact, the
entire school administration of
Paonia-are engaged in an effort
to prohibit tobacco using in any
form among public school pupils.
and we appeal to you to lend US
all the assistance at your COM
mand. We feel that we would be
justified in adopting radical
means, if necessary, to protect
the children of the community
against the Cigarette fiend, -
andwe feel sure that the "hend. E"
himself, is worth saving, even if
radical measures must be resorted
TO in order to save him.
think our demands are reason
able. We aim at the absolute
suppression or tobacco using
among the boys; and as TOR the
young men in school whose par
ents may not object, or may feel
that objection is useless, we are
at least justified in asking that
they do their smoking at home
or, at least, that they refrain from
the use of tobacco from the time

The School Board wish to call
attention to the following letter
from Judge Dickerson. and to
notify the public that it is their
intention to rIgidly enforce the
law.
While minors have duties that
they owe TO society and TO this
State as shown by so much recent
legislation yet 1t is not TO be for
gotten that the Legislature has al
50 been making laws imposing
statutory duties upon adults as well
as minors regulating the duties
that adults owe TO minors and that
onc minor owes TO another minor.
From Section lila. page l73. 3
Mills Rev. Statutes. / take the
following
"lt shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons to give or sell Gig
arettes to any person or persons
under the age of sixteen years.
Section alb. same page and
volume reads
ANY person who shall sell. give
or furnish any tobacco or any ar
ticle made in whole or IN part of
tobacco to any child under sixteen
years OF age. without the written
order of the father or guardian of
such child. shall be fined in a sum
of not less than FIVE dollars. nor
more than one hundred dollars, or
Imprisonment in the county jail
not more than three months.
A new enactment. Laws 1907,
page 33S. Section /, is in part as
tollows;-
"ln all cases where any person
shall be responsible tor or by any
act shall encourage, cause or con
tribute to the delinquency of any
child. such person or persons shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon trial and conviction thereof
shall be fined in a sum not to ex-
cecd one thousand dollars { 81 ,0OO)
or imprisonment in the county
Jail for period not exceeding one
Q) year, or by both such fine and
Imprisonment"
Boys violating these laws are as
much liable to the penalty as men.
The object of this letter is to in
form those interested regarding
these laws, not only that they
themselves may comply with it
but also that they assist in the en-
forcement. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to prevent any and all VIC
lations of law. | am interested in

have proper moral and social in

One very important question in

their parents supply them, or are
