been made to give him a rousing reception,
but as he arrived much earlier compare
lively few people were at the station. As

to greet him. He chatted genially with
those about him, shaking hands with all
within reach Among those who greeted
him were fifteen or twenty women and chill

Bear" to him to look at. He patted the
child on the head and remarked You're

At the conference at Charles p.
Tafts house 1t will probably be de.
termined definitely who is to be ma.
tional manager in the campaign. 1t Is
evident from the discussion among the
members of the subcommittee that
they are nearly equally divided on the
question. Both Frank H. Hitchcock,
who managed Taft's preliminary cam
paign from Washington and Arthur l.
Vorys, his Ohio manager, have staunch
adherents, but sentiment has devolp.
ed today in favor of some man who
has not been directly connected with
the preliminary campaign. 1t Is pret.
ty certain, however, that the commit.
tee will accept the judgment of Taft II
he chooses to announce a personal
choice. 1t is expected that he will ex.
press such a choice although he has
not yet given any intimation to whom
the choice will fall.

FATAL EXPLOSION

ous Gases in Hold Of German
Vessel Ignite.

Philadelphia, June 20.-One man Is
dead, another missing and nearly q
score were injured today by an ex
plosion aboard the German steamer
Arcadia which arrived yesterday from
Hamburg. The dead man was negro
stevedoer. The majority of the In.
j,lred are also stevedoers and some OF
them will lose their limbs.
The explosion occurred in the for
ward hold of the steamer from an un-
kncwn cause. There was nothing OK
plosive in the cargo and 1t is believed
the accident was due to the accumu-
lation of gases, while the holds we're
closed
Twenty-Five men had entered the
forward hold to unload the cargo when
a terrific explosion occurred. Great
difficulty was experienced In getting
the men out as fire followed the ex
plosion. The fire department saved
the steamer from total destruction
but the damage is heavy.

49TH COMMENCEMENT
AT ST. MICHAEL'S
Graduation Exercises viii Take Place
in loretto Auditorium on Mon.
day Evening.

AH' i'i !! -hutii dluudl commence
ment OF st. Michael's College, the
eldest and most successful educational
institution in what is now western
Kansas, western Texas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and southern Califor-
MIA, will take place Monday evening
at the handsome auditorium of the Sis.
ters Of Loretto on Water Street. The
program printed herewith is very in
teresting and will, no doubt, be en-
joyed by those who will attend.
A short history of st. Michael's Col
lege will be timely. This was the
first educational institution instituted
by the late most Reverend Archbishop
J. b. Lamy, who may in all reality
and truth be called the founder of
modern education in this vast sec
tion.
Archbishop Lamy and his three sue
cessors and the Christian Brothers,
who were placed in charge Of the col
lege, have worked for nearly half a
century, unsel1shly, without the hope
OF fee or reward, except consciousness
OF having done and doing their duty
as Catholic priests and as men and to
benefit the people among whom they
were sent by Divine command to
spread the gospel and education that
would lift them up, make, them good
men, loyal and patriotic citizens and
valuable in the work of life.
That they have succeeded beyond
expectation is demonstrated in the
splendid equipment of st. Michael's
College today in the buildings, in ap-
lparatus, in convenience and in school
books. Hundreds and hundreds of citi-
zens who are the best in this terri
tory today were educated and gradu-
ated from the college during the halt
century of its existence. It's scope OF
usefulness and importance is steadily
increasing and every year the number
! of students is augmented and these
come from many sections Of New
Mexico, Arizona, Mexico, Texas and
Colorado.
The methods and plans of the col.
| lege are intended to make cOnscien-
tious, moral and honorable young men
and the first principles that are In
stilled In them are morality, honesty,
to do right by their fellow men, by
their families and by themselves.
Many of the graduates today occupy
high official and business positions and
are amongst the leading men of the
territory.
The program Is remarkably we'll ar
ranged and is as follows:
