Explosion In Powder Mill.

st. Louis, Mo.-When daylight
came Friday 1875 residents of Briar
Hill, eight and a half miles southeast
of East st. Louis, who had fed for
their lives when 1900 kegs containing
10000 pounds of giant gunpowder
blew up and wrecked the glazehouse

the E. I. Dupont Powder Company,
with a conclusion that was felt 40
miles away, returned to look at the
100000 damage done to the property
and their homes.
The explosions are said to have been
due to friction in the cog of the ma.
chinery which operates the glazehouse
mill.

Statement for the State.
The defense in this case is insan-
ity, gentlemen of the jury. 1t is left
to you to decide whether Or not Harry
X. Thaw owes to the state e%xpiation
for his criminal murdeT, on the roof
of the Madison Square Garden, Of
Stanford White, an architect Of this
city. Insanity is a real defense, but in
not find the contention properly taken.
we shall show you that before
committing his crime, Thaw, in con-
v~ersation with mel we'll known, who
will tell their W story, talked as
could only have talked a rational
man. Why, Thaw talked with James
Clinch Smith for a long time before
he killed White. A dozen different
subjects, ranging from Wall street to
light comedy, from an ocean voyage
to the meeting of a man with a wom-
an, were discussed. And from this
conversation with a a he knew, in
which he talked nationally and at
times ~humorously, he went directly to
the seat occupied by Stanford White.
and, creeping up behind him, swung
around his side and shot the sitting
man through the eye, the ball enter
ing the brain. Two other shots were
fired, and then this criminal displayed
the gun with which he committed his
crime and was at once arrested.
I'VE contend that the killing of
Stanford White was deliberate and
premeditated murder, that his respon.
sibility under the law is undoubtedly
apparent; that he fired three times to
make his dastardly crime trebly sure;
and when the evidence is all in we
shall ask you for a verdict of murder
in the first degree"

To permit all to marry is equally i'm

rule, is more than a burden-he is a
nuisance.
"Re-enlistment or a married private
may properly be discouraged among
men of this grade. But with non-com-
missioned officers it is different. 1t is
these men that it is necessary to re-
tain. 1t is these to whom it is desir-
able to give a distinct status. 1t must
be expected that at some age of their
careers they will marry. If they can
not marry within the service, they will
leave it and marry outside"

REUTERDAHL'S CONCLUSIONS.

Henry Reuterdahl's recent re-
marks on his criticism of the Navy
that caused such furore, constitute
powerful commentary. on the agi-
tating value of the newspaper, aud
the Importance of timeliness.
The naval artist and writer laughs
at the suggestion Of his ideas being
new. They are four years old. His
first magazine article escaped notice.
The people then did not know they
had Navy, and didn't care much.
Finally he wrote an article for a
newspaper and the people began to
look up. A magazine publisher got
hold of him, and the same views re-
peated, when the Navy was the GEN.
ter of the worlds attention, aroused
the people to desire for knowledge.
In other words, Reuterdahl, thanks
to the educational work done by his
newspaper articles, came into the
magazine field at the psychological
moment.
In the midst of all this Reuterdahl
talk and criticism of the fighting ca
pacity of our Navy, 1t is worth while
noting that there is not a word to be
said against the sailing qualities OF
these great ships. They have been
put through a test which the croak'
ers said would be accompanied by
breakdowns and disaster. They have
kept ahead of schedule and arrived
at the place selected for target prac'
tise in the pink of condition.
May 1t not be possible that these
ships and the men who put then
| through the test will give as goo,

CONTROLLING PUBLIC SERVICE
CORPORATIONS.

The whole country Is watching
the Hughes scheme for controlling
the great public-service corporations
of New York State. The theory
adopted in the Empire State gives
promise of being an excellent one
Practise has to prove 1t.
A suggestion from Governor
Hughes himself, that 1t is about time
the public-service commissioners be-
gan to do something besides collect
statistics, is an indication that the
people have already become FESTIVE
over the extreme deliberation involv-
ed in the new plan that was to so
speedily rescue them.
Next to practical working no bet
ter source of information on the
tcope of the commissions labors can
be found than from the opinion OF
one Of the commissioners. This was
given not long since when Commits
sioner Maltbie of the Greater New
York Public Service Commission de-
livered an address on Fair Play for
the Public and for the Corporations
tefore Cincinnati audience.
Mr.. Maltbie gave the following as
the fundamental reasons why gov
ernmental regulation of public-serv-
| ice corporations has been recognized
as necessity in all leading countries
of Europe, and why the movement is
spreading rapidly in our own land:
CD Public utilities are necessl-
ties; every one must use them.
CD Public utilities are naturally
monopolistic.
CD Competition does not ade-
quately protect the interests of the
user, the public and the State.
ca Some regulative force is nee
essary to take the place of COMPETE
ton in non-monopolistic industries.
Mr.. Maltbie continued: THE State
ewes duty to its citizens as invest
crs, and should do all within its pow
err to safeguard their property and
reduce to a minimum the possibility
of fraud, financial manipulation and
transportation of funds. BY SC
doing the amount of capital avail
able for public utilities will be In
creased (the investor being attract
ed, the profits demanded by capita
will be reduced owing to the greater
surety OF honest management, and
the public-service corporations taker
cut of the speculative class and plac'
ed among the best class of invest
ments.
"The question has another side
We owe much to the cooperative
idea. and while the bad features
should be eliminated. the good fea
lures should be preserved, and pro
per system of governmental supervi
zion will not only protect the publ,
from corporations, but will protec
the corporations from the dishones
schemes Of unprincipled politician
and hasty legislation.
These are facts which stockhold

about one-half of whom are mem
bers of the faculties OF the three
schools, and the students. Letters
have been received from members OF
Kawaiahao and other churches ask
ing that they be considered men,
bers of the Bishop Memorial Church.
One Of the principal reasons for
the organization of this church is
that of getting into closer touch
with the outside churches, with a
view of better mutual understand
ing. Many of the students who have
gone forth from Kamehameha are
members OF the outside churches and
have had very little to do with the
school chapel heretofore. BY the or
ganization OF this church, those who
will go out from the. schools will
| eventually become members of the
Bishop Memorial Church, with the
exception perhaps of the students on
the other Islands. All the students
on this Island, 1t is said, will be
made members before they come out
from the schools.
| At the council yesterday Rev. VIM.
Is. Oleson, the pioneer principal of
the Kamehameha Schools. was pres
ent and helped materially in the
work. There were many delegates
and representatives from the outside
district churches present and many
suggestions were discussed.
Stanley Livingston, the musical
director of the schools, was made
clerk pro TEN. of the council.
The Bishop Memorial Church will
undoubtedly. become one of the lead
ing churches in the Islands. The
choir. under the leadership of Mr..

pared for next Sunday at its install.
