By Associated Press)

La PAZ, Bolivia, July lila Paz Is
given over tonight to riot. The people
sWarmed into the streets and did much
damage
The electric light wires were cut and
pillaging was begun on all sides.
Shots were heard i'm every direction.
The situation for foreigners, especial
ly Peruvian and Argentine residents, is
extremely serious.
The guards protecting the Peruvian
and Argentine legations were suddenly
withdrawn last evening, for some un-
known reason When this became
known street mohs renewed their at
tacks.
Senor Fonseca, the Argentine minis
ter, and his wife had a narrow escape.
They made their way out of the lega
tion and ran eight blocks, finally seek
ing protection in the home of the presi-
dent of Bolivia.
Manifestations have been numerous
in public places and at a meeting held
yesterday a portrait of Figueroa AL
corta. president of Argentine, was held
downward on a pole and stoned to
pieces
1t is reported that considerable eX-
citemept prevails at Lima and Buenos

benefits received, while very little of
that sort has been done in this coun-
tfy. The report also sets forth the
steady advance of steam over sail pow
er, and the tendency toward corporate
ownership of steam tonnage, especially
the larger vessels.
In 1906 the average size of vessels
owned by individuals was 113 tons, and
by corporations 526 tons. Operating
expenses, so far as obtained, averaged
about so per cent of the gross earn
ings. The lowest ratio of operating
costs was on the bulk cargo vessels
of the great lakes. the highest that of
the packet lines on tho Mississippi
system and southern rivers.
This report will be of great value

telligent and effective Improvement of
the countrys waterways 1t points out
the possibilities of water transporta-
ton, the limitations existing thereon,
the reasons for their present in
efficiency and the lines along which ac-
ton toward Improvement can properly
be taken. It demonstrates, finally the
necessity of dealing with the water
wavs under A broad and comprehen.
sive plan, rather than by localities and

TAFT MAY TAKE
EXTENDED TRIP
PRESIDENT EXPECTS TO IN
CREASE HIS ITINERARY
congressman Wish to Have Chief Ex-
ecutive Stop at All Cities of APP
preciable Size Where
Train Goes
CRx Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Indica-
tions multiply that President Taft's
announced. itinerary for his western
and southern trip this fall may be eX-
tended The president did not include
in the list all of the places where he
expects to hold brief car-end receptions
Strong efforts will be made by con-
gressmen and state officials to nave
the president stop for at least a lew
minutes at nearly all towns of appre-
ciable size through which his train VIII
pass in daylight hours.
Thus far the president has adhered
tc the policy of journeying in a sin
gle private car attached to regular
trains. On his far western trip, now
ever. ii is likely he will follow the
policy of his predecessors in charterlng
a special train.
The president expects to be away for
two months, and will carry corps
of stenographers, clerks and tele-
eraphers in addition to his secretaries.
Presidents Party Small
Thus far the presidential party has
been confined to the chief executive,
Capt. Archibald W. Butt, his military
aid. Assistant Secretary Mischler, Nal.
Arthur Brooks and two secret service
men: James Sloan, who was with
President Roosevelt for seven years,
and Jack" Wheeler. who has accom-
panied Mr.. Taft since his election.
The porter and cook assigned to the
president have been travelling with
presidents for many years. viii s.
Anderson. the porter, was promoted 10
presidential service in 1901. and was
With President Roosevelt on all his
travels. ]. e. Broadhus, the chef to
the president while en- route. began
service under President Mckinley. The
third member of the crew, e. b
Letcher has also seen service under
three presidents.
The railroads. in taking every pre-
caution for the comfort and safety of
the president, always have three men
on the engine. Sometimes the third
man may be the division superinten-
dent. Always there is a representative
of the traffic department on board with
authority to take control in an emer-
gency.
The railroads much prefer to carry
the president by special train and often
do so i'm preference to hauling his ear
at the end of a regular train.

G EATTLE, Wash, July 1.-THE in
~ ternational convention of the Ep-
~ worth League of the United
states and Canada closed its fourth
day with a great revival meeting in
the armory tonight.
This meeting was preceded by an
open air rally in the Market Place
square, led by Rev. Dr. Charles NJ.
Boswell of Philadelphia, who stood on
an oil barrel.
After the street meeting, which was
full of fervor and what the leader
called "old time religiOu," the crowd
marched in double file to the armory
singing when the Roll Is Called Up
Yonder."
When the marchers arrived at the
armory there were thousands of people
ir the building singing their marching
song and Onward, Christian Sol
Giers." The paradeTs, led by dozen
preachers and a cornet player, made
their way up and down the alsles,
rousing the audience to d high pltch
of enthusiasm.
Big Meeting Held
Rev J. N. kenney of Fresno, Cal,
was one of the principal speakers.
This was the biggest meeting of the
convention All of the Methodist
churches in the city suspended night
service that their members might go
to the armory.
The convention will transfer its seat
tomorrow to the Alaska Pacific
exposition grounds. and will close with
an afternoon rally in the natural
amphitheater. The day has been set
apart by the fair management as Ep-
worth League day.
The discussion of the policy Of the
league as to age has become burn

The Younger delegates who are not
allowed to speak in the meetings, say
privately that the bishops should re-
tire altogether from the management
and let young officers be installed. The
white-haired bishops say things are all
right as they are.
The attitude of the younger bishops
is expressed by Bishop William A.
Quayle, president of the league VINO
says:
Young Should Control
'"Tbe organization is wholly for the
young people and while anybody is
welcome. il must be officered by the
young. AS rule the young people
have not the means to travel long
distances and this is why you see so
many elderly people at these gather
ings. A large number of the old peo-
pie are not delegates, but come ne

ceedings.
Il hold the young people should he
in control of the league, but they are
immature and speakers of ripe expert
ence are needed at the larger gather
ings, like the international convention

ly to occur before the next internation-
al convention The young people have

gates and speakers come, and can,

Gas Pipe Filled with Powder and
Plugged at One End Is Discharged
Before Men Can Get Out
of the Way
(By Associated Press }

KANSAS CITY, July 11.-Three per-
sons were instantly killed by the ex-
plosion of a bomb during postponed
celebration of st. Johns day by the
parishioners of the Holy Rosary Roman
Catholic church here tonight.
Two policemen were knocked down
and stunned. Another man sitting in a
window several hundred feet away was
so badly injured that he is not expected
to recover. Many others received minor
injuries from flying fragments of the
bomb.
The explosion occurred yesterday in a
vacant lot opposite the church where
the pyrotechnical part of the celebra-
ton was being held.
Hundreds of people were crowded in
the lot. The dead are Antonio Grasslfe,
who had charge of touching off the fire
works: a negro bystander and negress
bystander.
Festivities End in Tragedy
The explosion followed a day Of festi-
vities. The fireworks in the early part
of the evening had been displayed with
out mishap, and almost every Italian in
the city was congregated in and about
the lot
Grassife had constructed a bomb by
filling a section of gas pipe with powder
and plugging up one end. He had been
warned to place it on the ground before
firing it, but neglected to do so. The
crowd surged around him as he knelt to
light the fuse, and before he could re-
gain his feet the explosion occurred.
Pieces of glass flew in all directions
A panic ensued as the crowd strove to
get away. The policemen who had been
detailed to the place to preserve order
were stunned.
Someone telephoned the police station
and ambulances soon arrived to care
for the injured 1t was considered re-
markab1e that many others were not
killed.
The explosion blew out windows in
the church and in nearby houses.
