NAVAL RESERVE

CARELESS SPECTATORS CIGAR
ASHES EXPLODED CHARGE
PREMATURELY.
RESULT WAS HORRIBLE.
Paul PauIson Was Blown From the
Cannon's Mouth and Terribly Mu'
tilated by the Gun.

Standing in front Of an old-fashion-
ed brass cannon, ramming the wad-
ding down, Paul Paulson, member
of the Escanaba division of the Michi-
gan state naval reserves, was liter
ally blown from the muZZle OF the
gun when the charge exploded pre-
maturely.
The reserve had been called out to
attend a celebration given in honor
of the organization of the Changers
in the section and were about to fire
an honorary salute to Mayor Rose,
of Milwaukee, the principal speaker
of the day, when the accident occur
red.
Fully 10000 people were in attend
ance when the tragedy took place and
at least 1000 of them were eye-wit-
nesses to the death of young Paul
son. So interested did the farmers
become in the work of loading the old
fashioned brass piece that they crowd
ed in among the gun crew and ham
pered them in their work. Several
times they were ordered back, but
without avail. The work IF inserting
the fuse and printing powder brought
many of them so close to the breech
of the weapon that they crowded
about the wheels and powder boxes.
Pauson was at the muzzle ram
ming home the wadding when care
less spectator flicked the ashes from
his cigar. There was a tiny puff of
flame and smoke as the printing pow
der blazed, then a deafening explo-
sion and the frightened hundreds saw
the gunner fall beneath the cloud of
dense white smoke.
Hundreds fought to escape from
the scene and then as frantically
fought to return. Only the blue clad
reserves, standing over their fallen
comrade with drawn knife bayonets,
checked the main rush.
Paulson was dead before a physi-
clan could be called from the crowd.
His lower jaw was shot away, a rag
ged hole torn in his throat and his
entire breast laid open. The force
of the explosion tore his sailor blouse
TO ribbons and the wadding found its
way into the flesh like a shower of
bullets

CREW RACE POSTPONED.
Rough Water of Past Week Re
sponsible for Change of Date.

On account of the high winds of the
past week, which have kept the surface
of the Potomac pretty much churned, the
roughness thus caused preventing any
beneficial work being done by the oars
men, it has been found best TO postpone
the Georgetown freshman-senior boat
race. scheduled to be held Saturday, to a
date after the Easter holidays, the exact
day to be decided on later. 1t was
thought that in this way the Fights could
get into better condition and that the
race would be more satisfactory to all
concerned.
Although the boats have been launched
every day but one, the practice has usu-
ally been so hampered by the swells that
little or no advantage has been gained
Especially was this so yesterday, when
the men had to return to the float within
a half hour after starting in order to
keep from swapping. Coach Russell says
keep up for SO long time and does not
know what to make of II. He is very
much disturbed by the continued blowing.
since every day now means a great deal
as the first race with an outside crew is
but little more than month away.
Another reason for changing the date
of the class contest was in order to give
time for the marking off of course on
the lower Potomac. where the race will be
held. Manager Daley has written to the
park commissioner relative to the matter,
but as yet has received no reply. The
plan is TO mark off four distances. all
finishing at point north of the long
bridge, the starts to be, respectively. one
mile. one mile 80 yards. one mile and a
half and two miles above the finish. All
the courses will be straightaway and will
extend along the Potomac Park shore
thereby allowing full view OF the race
TO spectators on the bank. This is what
makes the Fairmont Park course in Phil
adelphia so popular. and it is thought that
if such advantages are afforded the
Washington public aquatics will become
much more popular in this city.
