CORONER FINDS ALL WERE KILLED IN
 EXPLOSION
Especial from united Press,

!
 Albany. May 13.-The fixing of the liability for the premature explosion at the Calnan Quarry at South Bethle. hem yesterday afternoon in which more than a score were killed. was commenced to-day but the authorities are skeptical as to the result owing to the fact that every man in the inn mediate vicinity of the explosion was killed. Coroner Day was on the scene of the explosion early to-day but as no one can be found who was in the gang at the point where the explosion occurred. it is exceedingly difficult to get positive information.
 So far the count reveals eight Amer jeans and 21 Italians dead. Some say that many more laborers were killed.
 About two tons of dynamite remain in the ground near the point where the explosion occurred, the manage ment having reached no decision as to it's disposition. To-day the laborers re- maining behind continued the grue- some task of gathering up the frag- ments of bodies which were scattered by the explosion. Practically the only eye witness alive is Superintendent Boggs who was about 175 feet away and he is not positive as to the nature of the explosion.

KERMIT ALSO KILLS. BULL GIRAFFE IN
 AFRICA
When tIle Colonel Knew What a Splen. did Shot His Son Had Made He Ex. claimed, 'sGoOd Work My Boy"

(By Warrington Dawson, Staff Cores
 pondent of the United Press.)
 Nairobi, British East Africa, May 13. Not to be outdone by his distinguish ed father, Kermit Roosevelt has placed to the credit of his marksmanship. a bull giraffe. Messages to-day from the camp at Machakos told of Kermit's s success in yesterdays hunting.
 Colonel Roosevelt had hoped to get another shot at giraffe but the only ones were encountered by the division of the party headed by young Kermit which was several miles from the main division. Kermit made splendid shot at close range while the giraffe was standing and one bullet sufficed to stretch it's length on the ground. Both of the giraffes shot by Colonel Roose- specimens. Three girafes killed by the party in two days breaks the rec ord of recent years for this part of the country.
 ed. When Colonel Roosevelt found that Kermit had killed a giraffe he slapped the youngster on the back and, with characteristic enthusiasm, ex- claimed. Good work my boy!" Colo mel Roosevelt set out to-day to visit the American mission, days march from the camp Preparations have been made to give him a hearty re- ceDtion.
 Tomorrow the party will break McMilIan's Ju Ja Ranch It will ar rive there on Sunday, if the present schedule is followed and will remain there until May 20 MT. McMillan wanted MT. Roosevelt to be his guest for a longer stay. If F. c. Selous will consent to a change in the program the party may remain at the McMillan ranch a week longer. The present plan, however, is for the "Selous Expedi- tion'' to start on May 20, and Selous, who is counted the greatest hunter in Africa, is anxious to begin it as soon as possible.

BARBERS' BOARD
 DOOMED TO 60

Hartford, May 13.-The committee on public health and safety has disposed of two matters of legislation which have taken up considerable time in that body and were the cause of hot discussions. If these reports are adopt ed the board of examiners of barberS will be wiped out of political exist ence and the vaccination law will stand unchanged on the statute books
 Ever since the board of examiners of barbers was created, several years ago it has been a source of considerable trouble to legislators. The barbers themselves were never unanimous as to it's necessity or of it's benefit to the public bealth. and so at each succeed ing session an attempt has been made to have the act creating the board re- pealed. The present legislative com mittee on public health and safety in quired exhaustively into the workiNs of the act and after hearing both sides decided that nobody was benefited by it except the examiners themselves who received $5 a day for actual ser vice. witch practically meant $5 for every working day in the year.
 There was also a scramble beforethe governor at every session for the ofhce which the executive found very annoy ing as delegations favoring each of about 20 candidates every time were before him urging the appointment of their favorite. Another thing that the committee took into consideration was the fact that the state derived no reve- nue from the act. as the license fees were all eaten up in the salaries of the examiners The committee came to the conclusion that the local health authorities could better supervise the sanitary conditions of the barber shops than the state.
 The present board of examiners of barbers is composed of Arthur J. Squires of Stafford. P. H. O'Brien, New London and John Sirica of Wa, terbury.

ARNOLD IN A
 REMINISCENT MOOT

In recalling old times on the East
 Side, the other day, Capt. George Ar mold, of the detective department, told a characteristic story of Nicholas Con- lon, who has been dead for many years. 'Nick'' was for many years the keeper of the town poor. The old poor farm was then on William street. The site has long since been covered with modern residences. William H. Perry was then in the prime of life and always kept good horses. He was then a millionaire. Conlon loved a good horse and always kept one that could get over the road although his pets would have taken prizes for their contour at a horse show. One day MT. Perry was driving his fancy trotter on the road to Stratford. He overlook Nick, who was driving what looked to be rather uninviting specimen. Perry tried Intellectually several times to pass the poor keeper. 'Nicks" old skate was too much for the Perry trotter, which nettled the millionaire. ''I knew you when you did not drive fast horses, Nick,' said the millionaire. "Yes,'' answered the unterrified son of Erin, "and I knew you when ye were diggin' clans for a living"

NOTE OF WARNING
 AGAINST BEEF TRUST

London, May 13.-A serious note of warning against the American Beef Trust was struck in the report just is- sued by Lord Robert Cecils committee, appointed by the British Government last year in consequence of the rise in prices of meat. While the committee says the combination between the four in England-Armour Swift, Morris and the Hammond Packing Company -is not at present sufficiently power full to be a serious danger, the exten- sion of the Trusts interests to Argen- tina and possibly to Australia and New Zealand might well make the situation serious for England.
