DYNAMITE EXPLODES;;.
7 MEN MEET DEATH
MANY ESCAPE FROM PERIL IN
PENNSYLVANIA MINE
Explosive Touched OFF Prematureiy
1t Being Believed Workmen Had
Left Shaft When Current
Was Turned On

WINDBER, Pa, April lO-Seven
miners were killed, several slightly in
jured and many narrowly escaped as
result of premature explosion OF
dynamite in mine No. 81 of the Ber-
wind White Coal company, half mile
from here, last night.
The explosion occurred just as the
day shift was going off duty, and the
fact that the death list is not larger
is accounted for by the fact That the
men were near the mines mouth.
The dead and injured form part of
party of twelve miners who, through
out the day, had been working at the
fourth heading drilling holes prepara-
tory to setting off shots. Lying about
them were about 200 sticks of dyna-
mite.
The usual warning had been given
and it was thought the men were on
their way out, when the current was
turned on.
There were two explosions, the sec
ond one causing the fatalities. Clouds
of dust and smoke poured from the
mines mouth, enveloping the retreat
ing figures of the day shift; then
groans and means came from its
depths. AS soon as it was safe to en-
ter rescue parties made their way to
the aid of the entombed men. All OF
the bodies were recovered.

his way. His clothing had been almost torn
from him by the buckthorn through which he
had been compelled to force his way. After
getting rested up he boarded a car for Los
Angeles.

FEAR AERO CLUB
MEMBER IS LOST
BALLOON RESCUERS REPORT
ONE OF PARTY MISSING
Should Have Reported at Swltzer's
Camp and His Absence Is Gauss
ing Friends Decided
Alarm

Members of the Aero club of Cali
fornia fear that one of their number
who went with the party to rescue the
balloon American is himself lost be-
tween Switzer's camp and strawberry
peak He should have made q report
yesterday afternoon, but the section OF
the party at Switzer's camp that was
waiting for his report had learned moth
ing from him last night.
The missing man is Paul j. Braud.
who left Friday with Capt Mueller to
locate the balloon. He was scheduled
to return yesterday to Switzer's to meet
the larger section of the party and give
them directions, while Capt. Mueller
remained at the balloon. The Aero club
party, consisting of ]. c. Perry, e. B.
Anderson, L. E. Graves, A. o. Paulson
and w. L. Virgins, left Pasadena yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, but did
not reach SwitZers camp until O'Clock.
They telephoned that no word had been
received from Braud and that they
were alarmed about him. He has lived
in Los Angeles only one month, but
has had mountain experience IN Ari-
iona. The Los Angeles county trails
were entirely new to him, however, and
1t is feared that he may have met with
an accident on the "hogback," this
side of Colby's.
The Aero club party will start for
strawberry peak early lHlS IuOIIliS'
In case they meet Braud and find him
uninjured they will go on for the bal
loon. If he is hurt they will bring him
at once into Pasadena.
Until a survey of the balloons con-
dition Is made 1t will be impossible to
estimate the time necessary to bring
the American back, but it probably will
take two or three days in any event,
and the party may be compelled to send
back for reinforcements and more

MERCHANT, MISTAKEN
FOR BURGLAR, IS SHOT
Manager Misses Boat After Meeting
of Directors and Is Wounded by
Policeman While He
Works in Office

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-Mis-
taken for burglar while at work in
his office early today, Alfred Svenson,
manager of the Swedish-American
Mercantile company, was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded by a special po-
liceman, who claims his revolver was
accidentally discharged.
Svenson attended a meeting of the
company's directors last night and
missed the last boat to Oakland, where
he resides. Returning to his office, he
began to work on the books and the
light in the building attracted the at
tention of Otto Lubbock, a Waterman,
who summoned Special officer Thomas
Mulvaney and Policeman W. H. Har-
rison to assist him in an investiga-
ton.
After ascertaining the office had an
occupant the three searchers apS
preached the rear of the establishment
and broke down the door.
Svenson was ordered to throw UP his
hands and while attempting to identify
himself a shot was fired and he fell to
the floor. with a bullet in his right
breast. He was taken to the emer-
gency hospital and later removed to
his home in Oakland.
Mulvaney, from whose pistol the shot
was fired, was detained at the police
station after declaring his weapon was
accidentally discharged.

Skin and Blood
Diseases Banished
The Blood Quickly Purified,
and the skin Healed by
Stuart's Calcium
Waters

The importance of the blood to the
physical system is apparent to every
one. 1t contains in itself all the ele-
ments necessary for the nourishment
and reconstruction of the tissues of the
body, these elements being absorbed
from the food in the stomach.
The blood is the greatest circulating
medium in existence. 1t is the channel
of transportation in the body, not
only of nutritiVe supplies to the tissues,
but also OF the consumed and worthless
materials that have fulfilled their pur-
pose, and are to be elected from the
body.
1t frequently happens that the blood
becomes charged with impurities alb
sorbed from the stomach, intestines
and kidneys, and which, if it is unable
to eliminate through the usual chan
nels, it sends out through the pores of
the skin in the form of pimples, black
heads, and various skin eruptions.
The skin is composed of two layers,
known as the scarfskin, or cuticle,
and the true skin, or derma. The num-
Der of pores in the skin is estimated
to be $500 to the square inch, or a
total of about 100000 in the entire
system, and if put in one continuous
tube, would measure tWenty-eight miles
In length. About Ope-fifth of the i'm
purities of the body are eliminated
through these pores.
If the scarf-skin, which is constantly
being thrown off, should for any reason,
collect and block up the pores, skin dis
eases, such as furuncles or bOils, car
huncles, acne, lichen, etc, are certain
to occur
Stuart's Calcium Waters is the ideal
remedy for keeping the blood free
from impurities, and the skin devoid
of eruptions, no matter what the cause
may be, as the waters cleanse the en-
tire system, and act generally as well
as locally. The principal ingredient of
this remedy is calcium sulphide, which
is standard L. $. z. preparation, and
its powerfully Alternative, blood purify
ing, and skin-healing properties are
we'll known to all physicians and drug
gists.
Stuart Calcium Waters act mildly
upon the liver, kidneys and intestines,
and powerfully upon the blood, and
building up rich, red blood and rem
dering the complexion rosy and
healthy.
Obtain a box of this powerful remedy
from your druggist, if you are suffer-
ing from such diseases as pimples,
blackheads, boils, carbuncles, letter,
herpes, erythema, urticaria. roseola.
nettle rash, hives. ringWOrm, etc, and
YOU will be surprised at the alacrity
with which the system is rid Of these
troubles. He will sell you a package
for so cents, or send us your name and

JAPANESE STRUGGLE FOR
LIVES IN BURNING SHIP
Two Hundred and Fifty orientaIs, To-
eether with Crew, Fight to
Extinguish Flames

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-A fierce
fire ragged for some time today on the
ship Tacoma of the Alaska Packers
associations fleet, on which, in addi-
ton to the crew, were $50 Japanese, to
be employed in the northern canneries
The flames were first detected in the
hold, which soon was filled with smoke,
arousing the sleeping Asiatics to a
desperate fight for their life.
Arthur Thorn, ships cook, was suffo-
Gated by smoke which filled his cabin.
and the rescuers, who carried his body
to the deck, were unable to resuscitate
him.
A crew of watchmen prevented the
Orientals from leaving the dock and
the fire, after damaging the vessel to
the extent of about $6000 was eXtin-
guished by a bucket brigade. The
ship, which was to have sailed today
for the fishing grounds, had a narrow
escape from destruction.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by the upsetting of a candle in
the quarters of the Japanese.
