ON
BOARD WARSH|P
Thirteen Men Killed in After
Turret of French Cruiser by
Bursting of Gun.

Toulen, France, Sept. 22.-During
gunnery drill today one of the big tur-
ret guns on the French armored cruiser
La Touche Treyille exploded with ter
rifle violence, completely wrecking the
after turret and killing outright the en-
tire gun crew of thirteen men.
A number of men were seriously in
Jured, some of them probably fatally.
The accident was similar to that
aboard the gunnery schoolship Cou-
rome, off Les Salins d'Hyeres, Aug. II
last, when, by the bursting of the
breech of one of the guns, six men
were killed and eighteen injured. The
drill today had been proceeding for a
considerable time when, without warn
ing, the whole turret seemed to blow
out. Dismembered bodies were thrown
In all directions and several of them
were hurled into the sea through the
great breach caused by the explosion
The spectacle was horrible, the dead
and wounded, together with shattered
arms and legs, littering the decks. A
call TO quarters was sounded and as
speedily as possible the wounded We're
cared for. The gun that exploded
was 7.6 inches bore, of which the cruz
ser carried two. Happening so soon
after the accident on the Courenne, the
explosion today has caused a sensa-
ton in naval circles, and doubtless will
lead to most rigid investigation.
The La Touche Treyelle carried a
complement OF 307 men.

Great Alarm Felt.

New York. Sept. 22.-Alarm Is felt in
many sections of the state because OF the
rapid spread of the big forest fires that
have been burning for many days In the
Adirondacks. According to dispatches re-
ceived by the Associated Press here to-
night dangerous fires are burning in some
score Of places and a number of small
towns and summer resorts are threatened.
Probably 1000 men are fighting the fires
tonight but the flames have gotten so far
beyond control that only drenching
rain will stop them.
The more extensive fires are reported
in Warren. Saratoga and Essex counties.
In some places there has been no rain

the woodlands have become SO dry that

VACATION OVER
FOR ROOSEVELT.
President Back in Washington
to Wind Up His Work
as Executive.

Washington. Sept. 22.-The general
disposition here is to ascribe the presi
dents early return to Washington from
touch with men and affairs than he
could be at his summer home. With
the converting of congress not far dis
tant, he will naturally want to begin at
an early day the preparation of his last
annual message, and he will be better
situated here for consultation with his
cabinet advisers and with other Off
cials than at any other place.
1t is understood that this last mes
sage to congress will be a comprehen-
sive representation of the Roosevelt
policies and a last appeal for carrying
into effect those not already enacted
into law. Recent events show that the
president is not permitting the fact
that he holds the office to stand IN the
way of his interest in the campaign
which will result in the naming OF his
successor, and il is surmised that he
desires to be at the most convenient
point for the receipt of news concern
ing the progress of the contest. The
White House is connected by wire with
the important news centers, and there
the president can Immediately be put
in touch with the latest happenings In
all parts of the country. Naturally
too. he understands that the represent

countries who will attend the ap-

ton with the revision of the tariff at

requesting the Democratic national

Despotic Rule in House.

Mr.. Bryan criticised the "despotic
rules of the house of representatives"
and asserted that the Republican party
had chosen for Its vice presidential
candidate the man who stood next to
Speaker Cannon in the enforcement OF
these rules.
He then discussed the plank in the
Democratic platform with regard to in
functions and trials for indirect con-
tempt of court, quoting Judge Taft's
criticism that the plank was loosely
drawn and was an attack on the jul
dicial system.
Il shall commence today he said,
''to demand that Mr. Taft withdraw
from his position in regard to the
planks in our platform. 1t is SANDER
Gus and libelous.'
Mr.. Bryan reiterated his pledge that
if elected he would not be a candidate
for n second term.
Returning to Detroit shortly after C
O'Clock, Mr.. Bryan addressed monster

who desired admission, but vainly. as

Those who control it live in an environ
ment contrary to economy. They are
