Three Persons
Blown to Pieces
ALL THE MALE MEMBERS OF a
FAMILY KILLED IN AN
EXPLOSION.

GREENsBURG. Pa, March 17.-
Three persons, composing all the male
members Of family. were literally
blown to pieces by dynamite at Acme,
Pa, near here last night.
The Dead:
DAVID H. BoRwN, aged so years.
ROY BROWN. aged 17years.
CLARK BROWN, "aged Is years.
David Brown was postmaster at
Acme and conducted a general store
at the village. Accompanied by his
two sons he went to large field back
of his store late yesterday to dynamite
stumps. They took with them for the
work twenty-five pounds of the ex-
plosive. No one saw the accident, but
it is supposed that when the first
charge was set off they left the rest
of the dynamite too near, with the re,
suit that 1t was exploded. A terrible
report was heard and when an inves'
tigation was made big hole was
found in the ground where shreds OF
human bodies lay scattered about. The
trunk of the fathers body was re-
covered, but only small pieces of the
other bodies have been found.

Other Notes
OF Interest

Arrangements have been made
whereby Professor Daniel Working
one OF the instructors in the depart,
ment Of agriculture, will give course
Of lectures extending throughout
some weeks at the Normal school dur
ing the opening term. These lectures
Will be upon elementary agriculture.
Their purpose Is double. one to awaS-
en- in those who are to teach in the
public schools an interest in the sci
ence lying at the basis of this the old
est Of human arts, and the second ts
to give work that will satisfy, at least
In part, the demands of the new law
passed by the last Legislature which
put in elementary agriculture as one
OF the subjects to be taught in the
country schools.
The subject Of agriculture in the
public schools seems bit new to our
people, but it is certainly justified both
by theory and practice. In theory the
public school, especially in the coun'
try, should at least pay little atten-
tlon toward preparing the boys and
girls to do intelllgently their life work,
mainly farming. There are very few
arts which have not made very rapid
advancement within the last fifty
years, although many farmers have
not learned any new thing about their
work in all that time. They are not
only satisfied with what they know,
but they are convinced that they could
! be taught very little about farming
that is not mere fad or fancy.
In the meanwhile not only the far
mer but the country in general suf'
fcrs: the farmer in a lower productive
capacity and the country in depreciat'
ed land values. But the case can be
better put on the practical side. 1t is
no accident that Germany, for exam
ple, produces twice as much wheat to
1.-The acre than is produced on the al
,nost virgin soil in America, whereas
these same German wheat fields have
Ibeen farmed for centuries. The Ger

Dozen Students
Locked In Jail
GRAND Rush OF 1000 STUDENTS
AGAINST BUILDING STIRRED
#.S THINGS UP.

ANN ARRoR, Mich. March IT,
College feeling among the students of
the University of Michigan burst forth
into a riot last night. More than a
dozen students were locked up in jail
and Sthe Star Theater, a 5.cent place
Of amusement, was literally wrecked.
Late in the evening the mob of stu
dents. which numbered fully 1000, di-
rected "a college rush" against the
front OF the building, tearing away
windows and doors and plaster and
rolling the theater piano out into the
street, where LEADERS, of the students
mounted the Instrument and perform
ed dance to the accompaniment Of
mad cheers and yells from the unman-
ageabIe crowd
The trouble dates back to Saturday
night, when student in the audience.
who PERSISTED in repeating the Ann
Arbor college yell too often to suit
the management, was elected and
thoroughly clubbed by special po-
lceman in the employ of the theater.
In the trouble last night several po-
er their helmets had been stolen to
slles and othere fought on hatless, aft
er theirhelmets had been stolen to dec
decorate, some Students den. The fire
men. who were summoned, had no
sooner laid their line in position to
give the mob drenching than, with a
wild yell, a detachment of the boys
captured hundred feet of the hose
and ran yelling down the street with
1t.
Mayor Henderson tried to secure aid
from the National Guard, but found
that the local company's rules for
babe it to respond.
At midnight twenty-five students
had been Jailed an dpart of the mob
were still threatening the office of the
theater manager. The officers say
that the students convicted of particI-
pating in last nights riot will proba-
bly, receive a jail sentence, with no al
tentative of fine.

Panama Canal
By 1919
Ex,cHlEE ENGINEER STEVENS
SAYS IT'S POSSIBLE AT
PRESENT RATE.

HAVANA, March 17.-John F, Ste
vens. former Chief Engineer Of the
Panama Canal, who is the guest here
Of Governor Magoon, said last night
in his opinion there is no question of
the possibility Of the completion of
the canal by the end of 1914, and If
necessary it might be finished two
years earlier. Lieutenant Colonel Goe-
thals, he said, is pushing on the work
with such astonishing celerity that
even the most ardent advocate Of the
canal is amazed at the results achiev-
ed.
Mr.. stevens believed also that the
cost of the work would be consider
ably under $3OOO 100000, possibly as
low as s25O,OOO 900. including the
price Of the French concession.
