walls of all rooms, broke all or the
dishes and crockery and set fire to the
residence.
Mrs. Harris and daughter ran to the
rear following the explosion and heard
screams of the injured girl, whom, they
met at the stairway. The clothing was
burning from her body and her sister
threw her arms around the mass OF
flames in an endeavor to extinguish
them, having her arms burned serious
ly in the attempt The mother pulled
the sisters apart and Virginia fell pros
trate to the ground, the mother smoth-
ering the flames with clothes.
DR.. Howard Hill responded in a few
minutes in his machine and was Joined

injured girl was wrapped in bandages
and removed to the hospital.
Firemen hurried to the scene, but

in the younger society circles of the
city and in the Presbyterian church.

THREE SUSPECTS
ARE IDENTIFIED
MEN HELD FOR TRAIN ROBBERY
SAID TO BE CRIMINALS
Two of Trio Are Wanted at Waterville,
Washy for Safe Blowing and
Bond Jumping, De-
cIares Policeman
(By Associated Press.>

OMAHA, June 3.-W. d. Woods,
Fred Torgensen and James Gordon,
the three federal prisoners bound over
for the Overland limited train robbery,
were positively identified by Detective
Alexander Macdonald of the Spokane
police, who arrived in Omaha today.

himself Woods is Dan Downer, noto-
rious in the northwest as a desperate
and criminal, who has served time for
horse stealing. He and Torgensen,
Macdonald says, are now wanted at
Waterville, Wash, for safe blowing
and bond jumping.
A brother of Downer is said to have
been killed by officers In a daring
holdup in Stevens county, Washington,
when his partner, Claude Wells, also
was killed.
Gordon's real name is Gordon M.
Golden, and he is known to have asso-
ciated with Downer, Torgensen and
other criminals in the northwest He
is a brother of Joe Golden, who has
a police record. Detective Macdonald
says he believes Charles r. Shelton,
the fourth suspect, who was arrested

who has done time in several peniten-
tiaries. The prisoners simply laughed
when Macdonald called them by name.

There is an article Of interest 10 ex

maintains that it is well-known
statistical law that, almost the world
over, there are more boys than girls
born into the world. The normal ratio
of births is about 105 males 80 100 fe-
males. Students have long sought the
reasons for this irregularity; but moth
ing has yet been proved conclusively.
Westermarck brings together much
evidence to show that this proportion
of the sexes at birth is affected by the
amount of in-breeding in any social
group, the crossing of different stocks
tending to increase the percentage of
female births. Thus, among the French
half-breeds and mulattos in America,
