BOY KILLED AT OAKLAND
BY EXPLOSION OF SHELL
Accident in Cartridge Filling Plant
Results in Injury of
Three

OAKLAND, May 3.-An explosion
shattered the cartridge shell-filling
house at the Selby Smelling and Lead
company's plant at Vallejo Junction
today, causing the death of William
Aljets, a 16-year-old boy employed in
the plant and the serious injury of
Foreman Samuel Cunningham and
Miss Violet Cooper.
Half dozen others were slightly
injured. The shell-flling house is
stored with several different kinds of
explosives in small quantities, and
some fifteen persons are employed
there in placing the powder in car
fridge shells.
The supply of powder became ignited
in some unknown manner today and
the explosion which followed shattered
the walls of the building and burned
young Aljets so severely that he died
at the hospital two hours later.
Cunningham was severely burned
also and his condition is serious. Miss
Cooper was caught in the stampede of
employees for safety and thrown to the
ground with such violence that her leg
was broken.
The injured were put aboard spe-
cial train and hurried to this city for
treatment.
The officials of the plant are unable
to account for the accident.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
SAVED Ills PARTY
SENATOR BORAH EULOGIZES
FORMER PRESIDENT
Lawmaker from Idaho Declares Only
Continuation of "Rig Stick" Prln-
cpIes Can Insure Future
Success
tBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, May 3.-During a
speech on the income tax in the SEN
ate today Mr.. Borah referred to former
President Roosevelt as having shaped
the destinies of the Republican party
and said that without his leadership
Ibis party would have gone out Of
business"
He added that without continued
adherence to these principles the par
ty will go out of power"
mo man." he added, lis politically
so shortsighted or politically so blind
as the man who thinks the steamer
Hamburg carried away the policies,
the principles, the public interest, the
aroused public conscience and the
searching public concern which this re-
markable man bequeathed to his coun-
trymen.''
This statement was in connection
with a discussion of Mr.. Roosevelt's
suggestion favoring a graduated inher-
itance and graduated income tax.
And Quotes from Taft
Mr. Borah also quoted Mr.. Tafts
speech in which he spoke in favor of
the income tax.
Does the senator believe" Mr..
Sutherland asked that President Taft
believed in the constitutionality of the
income lawn other words, that he
believed that the law pronounced UNI
constitutional by the supreme court
was in fact constitutional"
Il only know what he said to the
American people when he was can
didate for president" responded the
Idaho senator, that he favored an in
come tax which could be drawn to be
made constitutional.
81 am not willing to believe that the
president believed in drawing an in
come tax law applicable to men toiling
in professions and then in eXempting
the vast accumulated wealth of this
nation from taxation"
Referring to Mr.. Carnegie's state
ment that an income tax would en-
courage perjury, Mr.. Borah said:
MIR. Carnegie did not make the Re
publican party, and I wish / were just
as sure that the Republican party did
not make Mr.. Carnegie"

SZECHENYI RECALLED TO
BE GIVEN CABINET OFFICE

NEWPORT, r. l., May S.-Friends
of the Vanderbilt family have received
word that the unexpected recall Of
Count Laszolo Szechenyi. who married
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, was because
of his appointment to a portfolio in
the new cabinet of the Hungarian gov
eminent.
When the count and countess arrived
in America in the middle of April they
planned to remain considerable time,
perhaps all summer. on April "a the
count was imperatively recalled to
Hungary and then 1t was understood
that this was because of the uneasy
situation in the Balkans and because
he holds a military office.
But word has now come, and it is
fully credited, that he is to be rendered
a portfolio in the cabinet which his
close personal friend. Count Andrassy,
the new premier of Hungary. is formf
ing.

To Limit Saloons-The Terre
Haute Liquor association has prepared
a petition to the city council for an or
dinance which will gradually reduce
the number of saloons one-half. The
limit is to be placed at one for 500
persons, which would make the total
about 140, as compared with 2IO at the
present time. The provision is that
no license is to be given to any person

feet to be the retirement of those al

will have an influence against voting

of the Reedemer at Newark, N. j., and
one of the most noted leaders Of the

and prosperous men of his church were
seated at the opening of the service

ladies remove their hats. A majority
of them wore the huge peach basket

without exception.
Few Attend Church-Figures
from the canvass by the Federation
of Churches which has been made in
the Harlem district of New York city
for the purpose of determining how
many people do not attend church re-
veal what Rev. John Lyon Caughey,
pastor of the Harlem Presbyterian
church, declares to be the startling
fact that more than half of the fami-
lies attend no church whatever. The
census figures as announced by Mr..
Caughey show that 6092 families have
some sort of church affiliation, while
6546 never attend any church. OF those
protesting a Protestant Christian reli-
gion 2765 attend church and 1881 do not.
There are 2O99 Roman Catholic fami-
lies which attend church and only 2Ss
which do not The figures further show
that there are only 1897 Hebrew fami-
lies with church affiliations, while
there are 4491 Hebrew families which
do not belong to a church.

On Monday afternoon one Of the

but fortunately the hail storm WAS
confined TO "a very small area. not
over u mile square of territory being
affected. However, within this strick-
en- area was the fine fruit, hay and
stock ranch of Morgan Hall, well
known here, the ranch being one of
the finest in the Plateau valley. The
hail damaged MIR. Halls grain and
fruit and other crops to the extent of
about 81 900. The grain was literally
cut to pieces in the field and the fruit
was stripped from many trees. The
Hall ranch is located near Molina.
No other damage of any considerable
extent was done.
The Plateau valley has had a num-
ber of heavy showers during the week

REVENUES OF CHURCHES.

The revenues of churches. differ
largely according to the sect. The
income of st. Patrick's S Cathedral
parish of New York. the most import
ant Catholic see in the United States,
with the exception OF Baltimore, the
seat of Cardinal Gibbons. reaches no
higher figure than S75 900 annually,
while Grace Episcopal church can de-
pend on Sl66.000. The Catholic
clergy, though they go through the
longest and most arduous training
for their professions. are the most
poorly paid, the salaries in the me-
tropolis being from S400 to $500
yearly. the archbishop and his 10
attendant priests at the Cathedral
receiving no more than 10000 all
told, says The Book-Keeper for July.
1t is a well known fact that the late
Archbishop Corrigan steadfastly re-
fused to keep the private carriage
which his confreers thought g. neces-
sary adjunct TO his rank, praferring
to travel about the city in cabs in
order that he might save an extra
sum for his private charities
One of the highest salaries in this
country was that paid the late DR..
John Hall of the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian church, who received S1S,-

striking examples. In the former.

yet the American girl of today is far
more chaperoned than her mother
was, and so complex have grown the
conditions of our social life that it
seems expedient that such guardian
should exist
From little tots, all through their
childhood and girlhood. our girls
grow up with boy playmates in such
frank and happy companionshipth that
the attitude of the former toward the
other sex is different from that of
European girls, who usually know no
boys but their brothers and do not
meet young men until they have been
formally introduced to society. Our
mode of allowing girls and hoys to
ASSOCIATE from childhood breeds
wholesome relations which last
through life. giving the girls a free
dom from self-consciousness and the
boys a protecting sense toward them
most elevating TO the characters of
both sexes.
When girl blossoms into young
womanhood and her male friends
have grown to manhood the chap
eronage begins to play an important
part in the scheme of their existence.
Yet the duenna is by no means omni-
present. and in her own home. par
ticularly, the girl is allowed consid
cradle freedom. There, unless her
mother has rigid ideas, she may en-
tertain her young men callers alone.
