WOMEN INJURED
IN STORE PANIC
CRY OF FIRE STAMPEDES
CROWD OF SHOPPERS
scUFFLE OVER MARKED DOWN
STARTS RIOT
Ten-cent Department Store Scene Of
Serious Accident When Alarm
of Fire Crazes Crowd
with Fear

DETROIT, July 3.--Six women were
injured severely today when cry of
"Firel" caused panic in Kresges' 10
cent store, at Woodward avenue and
State street while the place was jammed
with people. One child is dying and
nearly twenty women and children are
suffering from severe injuries.
The store held its opening r lay, ana
the flve-story building was p cked with
people, principally women I'D children.
1t is estimated 800 wor n were busy
searching for bargain on the second
floor when the panic .arted.
Two women are ld to have reached
simultaneously for a marked-down and
to have begun scuffling over 1t. This
caused a little excitement in their i'm
mediate neighborhood and attracted the
attention of those near by. The on
lockers pressed about them, and sud-
denly the cry "Fire" was heard.
1t turned the hundreds of shoppers
into a maddened, fighting mob, intent
only on reaching the stairway at the
rear of the building. They surged down
the aisles and packed themselves into
such a solid mass on the stairs that the
guardrails gave way, precipitating
many of the struggling women to the
floor below. In a moment the stairway,
the floor below and the second floor
above were one mass of screP ming wo-
men and children. Clothes were torn,
hats were dragged off, and those who
were unfortunate enough to lose their
footing were trampled on.
Employees of the store, assisted by
policemen, finally convinced the mob
that the building was not on fire and
succeeded in calming them. Ambu-
lances were summoned and the injured
were taken to hospitals.

Legislature Passes Local Law Re-
straInIng Corporations, but Court
Finds Measure Unconsti-
tutIonai

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July 3.-Judge R.
E. Campbell in the federal court here
today held the Oklahoma statute pro-
hibiting the shipping of oil and gas out
of the state is in violation of the fed
eral constitution and of the interstate
commerce act.
This is regarded as a final victory for
the foreign pipe line companies, who
were restrained by state officials from
selling the natural products in other
states
Today's holding was in the case of
the Kansas Natural Gas company and
other oil and natural gas companies of
Ohio and West Virginia against the
state officials, asking that they be per-
petually enjoined from interfering with
the companies piping oil and gas out
of the state.
Judge Campbell today overruled the
demurrers of the defendants. He an
nounced that reasonable further time
would be granted the defendants to file
other pleadings before final action was
taken to make the temporary injunc-
tion permanent.

WOMAN NOT BORN
TO KILL HERSELF
ATTEMPT AT
SUICIDE FAILS
Mrs. Kate Powers Tries Repeatedly to
Destroy Herself, but Each Time
Is Saved by Hospital
Staff

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-That
Kate Powers was not born to die by
her own hand is the conviction Of the
Emergency hospital staff, who treated
the woman last night after the forty
second attempt she had made on her
life in the past three years.
The record established by Mrs. Pow
ers is declared to be without equal.
Her favorite method of attempting TO
end her life is by chloroform, which
she has tried thirty-five times; four
times she has waded into the ocean,
only to be washed to the shore sound
as ever, and thrice she has tried to
hang herself with equally poor re-
suits.
The forty second attempt was as
futile as the others and it is believed
she will abandon the chloroform
method as inefficacious.

Malady

NEW YORK, July 3.-Yellow fever

to the Medical Record, which censures
the island authorities for it's recurrence.
saying they have concealed the fact by
claiming the fever is pernicious malaria,
or malignant jaundice.
The publication says further the gulf
coast of the United states is menacedS
that politicians on the island have
the appropriations to fight
the disease and that the proper step
would be for the United States marine
hospital service to take charge of af-
fairs.
The article sounds a warning that
the same conditions which prevailed
in Cuba before the United States took
a hand In matters there several years
ago exist now and that drastic action
by the government is Imperative.
