TWO KILLED AT CEDAR RAPIDS

NEW YORK, July 4-The sacrifice OF
life By reckless cedebrators Of the Fourth
began today with the accidental shooting
Of an italian woman by her nephew, who Is
stricken with remorse at the death of his
aunt shot himself The dead:
MRS. ALFONsEIo FLU CARING. the
wife OF a retired italian contractor living
IN the Bronx.
ARTHUR CARARA, aged 10.
carara had prepared for his celebration
by buying a revolver and several boxes OF
cartridges, The boy amused himself by
shooting at the brick walls Of the yard
around his home Mrs. Fucarino stood
watching him when one OF the bullets
richochetted from tn pavement and struck
her over the right eye, penetrating the
brain and causing instant death.
Overcome with horror the boy placed
his revolver to his head and fired. his
body falling across that Of his aunt. Both
were dead before witnesses could reach
them.
When Eucarino discovered what had hap
pened he made a dash for the revolver,
declaring he also would kill himself, but
was prevented by bystanders.
Numberless accidental injuries we're re-
ported as an outcome OF the careless use
OF explosives. The use by Italians Of
revolvers loaded with bal cartridges in
stead OF blanks was accountable for sew
eral wounds.
While combing her hair near a window,
Nympa Grizzsnti. 1s-year-old Italian girl,
was killed today by bullet through the
head. which the police are convinced was
fred by some one outside who sought to
conceal the source of the shot. No motive
for shooting the girl Is known.
Two killed at Cedar Rapids.
DEE MONIES Ia. July 4-Four pounds
OF giant powder exploded this morning at
Cedar Rapids. killing two and wounding
hye others. The first reports Of the tragedy
were Just received in this city. The ex-
plosion occurred In boat. The seven were
rowing. The powder was to be used in
noise making at small picnic. The SUR
vivors say that one Of those killed threw
a cigarette on the top Of the can and that
a spark from It must have reached the
contents.

Many Families Enjoy the Day Under
Beautiful Shadetrees.

Beautiful shadetrees.
The birds and the squirrels may know
nothing Of the reason for the celebration
OF the Fourth of July. but those IN the
parks of Omaha must have realized that
something unusual was working upon the
sentiments OF mRn Thursday from the
number who with common accord hastened
to the shade OF the trees from the early
dawn to the going down of the sun.
The FIRST street car to Riverview park
carried a picnic party This was a man
and his wife, who once were fortunate
enough to live on farm. but who had
failed to enjoy the dawn Of the day in the
cool shade OF the woods to the twitter OF
the awakening birds because the lowing
OF the awakening COW called them to more
prossic pursuits, but they certainly en-
joyed the day Thursday as did the thou
sands who followed them to the woods.
Riverview park drew the picnic crowd,
although Hanscom park was not far behind.
and even Elmwood park looked like II had
almost as many people as II could COM
fortably contain. This appearance was do
ceitful. as the park could have contained
many more and would no doubt have done
so were communication easier between the
park and the city. Several family parties.
unusually energetic walked from the end
OF the IAavenwOrth street car line to the
park. The larger number came In convey
ances. carryalls being the popular mode OF
transportation. while at least one party
chartered the hay rack OF an accommo-
dating farmer and piled men. women and
children on the sweet smelling clover for
a ride up the hill and down again 70 one OF
the most beautiful natural parks in the
state. This party was chaperoned by Park
Superintendent Adams and Mrs Adams.
There were about twenty-five OF ali ages IN
the crowd, and their experience was typical
OF all. Il was estimated that at least 100
family parties were at Elniwood during the
day.
Al Riverview park the number was estl-
mated at about 80 family parties. ranging
IN size from two 70 forty people. The AMI

AWAIT WORD FROM CONSUL

Character.

TOXIC, July 4.-The representation made
by the japanese consul at San Francisco to
the municipal authorities OF that city in
relation to the action Of the latter in re-
fusing to renew the licenses OF japanese
employment agencies has not vet been re-
Piled to. This AFFAIR is considered here as
being OF far graver character than the at
tacks upon Japanese restaurants and sim
liar anti-Japanese Incidents in San Fran
cisco, as It held that It. concerns the last
ing personal rights OF Japanese. The re-
ply of the San Francisco authorities 10 the
consuis representation is being awaited
with considerable impatience. Pending this
reply no official action has yet been taken
by the Toxic government

Attorney Devlin has received a letter from
Attorney General Bonaparte asking him
to make an investigation and report Inn
mediately upon the action OF the San
Francisco oficials in refusing TO grant
licenses TO employment agencies conducted
by Japanese. He at once began the in
vestigation and will make his report as
soon as possible. Referring to the suit

sistant city Attorney Baggett said:
''The defense OF the city will be that
whatever injury was done to the property
of the Japanese was done by two or three
persons before mob, in the sense OF the
law had formed. The city will also claim
that there was no riot, but VIII lay great
stress upon the contention that the dam
