SERIOUS EXPLOSION
Ensign Aiken Killed and Engineer Badly Injured on Armored Cruiser,
 North Carolina.
fspecial from United Press.)

2 Naples, July 13.-Yesterday's gas ex- plosion on the U. s. Armored Cruiser North Carolina, lying at anchor at the end of the Santa Lacia harbor, half mile from the docks, was far more serious than was at first reported, the officers, of the ship seeking to sup press the news and minimize the dan ger into which the great ship had been plunged.
 The officers at first sought to sup press the fact that Ensign Hugh K. Aiken, of New Orleans, had been kill ed and that Engineer Mackalou was so seriously injured that he will prob ably lose both his eyes. 1t develops however that after the explosion in the coal bins, fire ensued which for a time threatened to reach the pow der maga zine and blow up the ship. The sailors and marines on the North Carolina answered hurried calls to the fire hose and began fighting the
 flames with vigor, realizing that if the flames ever reached the heavily loaded magazine there would. be a calamity.
 Signals were immediately flashed to the other ships of the American fleet lying at anchor in the harbOr and they hurried many boat loads of marines to the North Carolina to aid in suppress ing the fire. This prompt aid from the ships of the fleet, it is believed to-day, was the only thing that pre- vented the flames from reaching the magazine.
 The accident, according to the latest reports was due to the fact that En- gineer Mackalou entered the coal head with a lighted candle in his hand. There were 300 tons of coal stored in the bunkers and an immense amount of coal gas had been general ed As soon as Mackalou and Aiken entered the hold there was a terrific explosion Several other men on the North Carolina were injured by the explosion but none seriously. They are being cared for in the ships hos pital and their names are suppressed.

LEAH KLESCHNA" GIVEN AT POLPs
Miss Fleming Makes Title Role Interest. ing and John Ince Plays Paul
 SyIyaine,

Leah kleschna". given at Polls last night for the first time, falls into a group of modern plays, rapidly in creasing in number, which are tinged with the philosophy of Carl Marx. In other words they are socialistic It Will De seen. at once that it makes quite a difference in a. mans attitude toward crime whether he believes that the criminal is person absolutely of free will to do right, or wrong; or whether he believes that crime is the result of environment, defective inher- ltance and the like. In the one case his attitude toward the criminal will De like his attitude toward a vicioua wild beast. The criminal must be put out of society whether by death or confinement matters not. But if the crime is due to defective environment, then the criminal is a. social product; i; society is to blame for him and society ishing, but of retaining him.
 Were there no such philosophy as the last, Paul Sylvaine, member of the chamber of deputies. never could Kleschna. Yet this is what he does. The character of Sylvaine is well taken by John Ince. Possibly Miss Fleming is too young to develop the part of brought to it by Mrs. Fiske, who made the part famous, but she does it well.
 Many people avoid a play with a problem in it as they do a pestilence. These persons need not be afraid of this play on that account. The les son is unobtrusive. The action is all most melodramatic- Especially so is the scene in the second act in which Sylvaine finds Leah at his safe with his family jewels in her possession.
 The work of Scott Siggins, as Kleschna is realistic and entitled to commendation. J. Hammond Daley as Schram, the pal of Kleschna, does something a little out of the line he has hitrerto attempted in this city, and does it in the same conscientious way.
 The settings are good. Especially is this true os the second and third acts where the scene is in Sylvaine's s studio, and a wealth of detail is intro duced.
 It sometimes happens that a few people wander into a theatre who should never be allowed more than a block away from home. This was the case last evening when some persons who had never heard that policemen are not dressed the same all over the world found something mirth inspir- ing in the characteristic uniform of a Partisan gendarme who appears for a moment upon the stage.

BIGAMIST JOHNSON
 WEDS MANY WIVES FOR THEIR MONEY
Special from United Press,

San JoseA Cal, July 13-Explaining, brokenly. that he would never survive the seven year prison term to which he was sentenced yesterday for bigamy, Christian Johnson, in the presence of Sheriff Langford. made a full and com plete recital of his dealings with wo- men all over the United States and his methods of obtaining money from his that he is the man known as Mad son. and Anderson for whom the police of several cities have been look ing for years on bigamy charges.
 JohnsonS action was not the result of any over-weening fondness for the fair sex, he said. His motive in be- coming fiance and husband to so many women was purely mercenary. In ex- plaining his marital exploits he said:
 '1 had so many wives that I cannot absolutely remember. all of them. I could not give all of their names. don't think I could tell the exact num- Der of them. I have been making my living by making love to and marrying women for over three years.
 ''Why did I do it? Well, in 1906 my health failed. T was then in the business of buying horses for foreign governments and my illness forced me that I have money and as I had al- ways been popular among the women I conceived the idea of travelling about the country. becoming engaged to women and getting what money I could from them.
 'I did not wish to marry any of these women but as in many cases it was impossible to get their money without marrying them and I did it. My first marriage was to Mrs Mary Brown in Springfield, Mass, in 1906. I next married Mrs. Sylvia Pollard Debonett in San Francisco. Under the name of Madison I married only one woman.
 -'She was Mrs. Jones. of Portland, Ore, and I got $1. 800 from her. think the entire amount I received from women whom I married or had arr ranged to marry was about s5.100."
