ITALIAN MERCHANTS BUSINESS
PLACE is WRECKED.
Debris Catches Fire, but Flames Are
Soon Controlled-People Think
Earth Quakes.

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Nov. %. - An ex-
plosion of dynamite in the fruit and wine
house of Joseph Mascara early today
wrecked about twenty-five buildings i'll
the business district. Mascara, al ltal-
ian, believes the Black Hand is RESPONSE
bic for the explosion. The damage is
$4,000 to $4,000.
The whole block is completely demol-
ished. Bricks from it and other build
ings i'll the vicinity were found ten
squares away. The explosion was heard
three miles. For more than mile
houses were rocked.
Thinking the city had been shaken by
an earthquake, hundreds of persons fed
to the streets in terror. Immediately
after the explosion flames began to
sweep the district, but were extinguished
without much additional loss. Mascara
declines to make any statement as to
threats made against him. The police
have several suspects under surveillance.

CITE DECISION IN
AARON BURR'S CASE.
Opinion Written by Chief Justice Mar
shall Cited by Supreme Court
of Missouri.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. 23-
The decision of the supreme court of
the United States written by Chief JUS
tice Marshall in the Aaron Burr case
was cited by the supreme court of Mis-
souri, today in the issuance of an order
releasing on habeas corpus Tony Gauss
and David Eichel, who had been jailed
for contempt by the st, Louis circuit
court.
The latter tribunal committed Gauss
and Eichel because they refused to an
swer certain questions when summoned
as witnesses in the trial of man ac-
cused of violating the anti-bookmaking
laws of Missouri.
Because it is not clear that the de-
PENDANTS would not incriminate them
selves by answering the questions, the
Missouri supreme court holds that the
ST. Louis judge erred in ordering Gauss
and Eichel to jail.
Numerous extracts from the decision
of Chief Justice Marshall regarding
Aaron Burr accompanied the finding.

PANAMA BILL GROWING
CHIEF ENGINEER SAYS IT WILL
COST s4oo, 100000.
Nearly SO Per Cent. More Work Required
in Digging Ditch Than Was
First Estimated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %. -
The cost of completing the Panama
canal will aggregate nearly $4OO,OO0,0OO,
Congress in 1902, when the work Of dig
ging the great United States waterway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific was au-
thorized.
The latest estimates made by the canal
commission and now ready for the sane
ton of Congress have been made public
by the war department. They are in
Guided in the annual report signed by
Chief Engineer Goethals and Secretary
Dickinson.
Of the increased cost over the first es-
Inmates, the report says:
In the preparation of this estimate
the same unit prices We're assumed as
were adopted by the board of 1S99-19Oi.
In the interval, however, wages had in
manufactured articles had risen. Pros
porous conditions in the United States,
combined with the unsavory reputation
that the isthmus had regarding it's health
fitness, made it necessary, in order to Sc
cure labor, to increase the wage scales
from 80 to 90 per cent. over those paid
in the United States for similar classes
of work.
Certain gratuities as additional III
ducements were also offered, which, in
the main, have since been continued.
Moreover, the provisions of the eight
hour law were made applicable to the
isthmus.
The unit prices were therefore mate
rally increased. Various changes had
also been made in the adopted plan, in
creaslng the quantity of work to be done.
In addition, more detailed surveys and
plans than were originally available had
progressed sufficiently to give reliable
data relative to unit costs. This enabled
revised estimate to be prepared and
submitted at a hearing of the commit
tee on appropriations of the II louise OF
Representatives in February, 1909.
This estimate shows that nearly 80
per cent. more work is necessary in or
der to complete the canal than was con-
templated by the original estimate and
that the unit prices, due to labor condi-
tions, cost of materials and gratuities
given the employees, have been increased
about 20 per cent.
THE estimate, as proposed, shows that
the total cost of engineering and con-
struction alone sums up to 1927, 1G6, 600,
to which, if the purchase price and the
estimated cost Of sanitation and civil
government be added, there results the
sum of 1910 ,2O1, 900 as the total cost Of
the canal"

SOUNDS DEATH KNELL {?
BRYAN'S DRY IDEA WILL KILL HIM
WITH PARTY.
This Is Opinion of Democrats OF Ma
tional Prominence Who Are NOW
in Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
William J. Bryan's plan to force pro
hibition to the front as a Democratic IS
sue will kill him with his own party
That is, almost without exception, the
opinion of such Democrats of national
prominence as now are in Washington.
Incidentally, it is the opinion OF shreWd
political observers in the Repubhcan
party.
The first difficulty to be met by Bry-
an in his attempt to foist this issue on
his party will be that it will furnlsh
fresh and confrmatory evidence OF the
charge so often made by Repubncah
spellbinders during the campaign a year
ago that Bryan no longer is sincere
crusader fighting for what he belleves TO
be right but merely political quack'
seeking to win votes by whatever nos
trum he thinks can be made palatable
Aside from that fact. everybody VINO
knows anything about the campaign ct
last year knows that Bryan's nomination
was accepted by a large majority OF
southern Democrats simply because they
believed it necessary to kill him OH pc
fore there could be any successful reJu-
yenation of the party, and his third de-
feat would accomplish that result:
Indications that have been cropping up
from time to time since Taft's election
that, despite his third failure to land the
presidency. Bryan is not yet willing TO
recognize the fact that he isn't wanted
in the white house, have filled these
southerners with renewed disgust.

YOUNGER OFFICERS.
Gen. Wood Recommends More Rapid Ad-
vaacement in Army and Rest0-a-
ton of Canteen.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
Oslerization of army officers to radical
degree was recommended to the war de-
partment today by Gen. Leonard Wood,
in command of the department of the
east. He asks that an elimination law
be enacted so that officers above the
grade Of captain will attain grades on an
average of at least ten years younger
than at present.
Our present system said Gen.
Wood, 'results generally in the best
years of Il mans life being spent in a
subordinate position, and in his reaching
a position of responsibility and com
mand at a time when his interest is
diminished or gone and his physical and
mental energies are in most cases on
the wane, in many instances to such an
extent as to render him wholly unfit for
any large measure of responsibility or
active hard service of any kind"
He recommended the re-estabEshment
of the canteen at army posts.

BANKS TIRE OF GUARANTY LAW.
Oklahoma Institutions Will Operate
Under Government Charters.

ENID, Ok, Nov. 22.-The Enid State
Guaranty bank Of this city has surren-
dered its state charter, and will open
as the First National Bank of Enid, its
name before May l last, when after a
struggle with the state officers it was
compelled to comply with the guaranty
law.
Immediately after the recent failure of
the Columbia Bank and Trust company
Of Oklahoma City, the state guaranty
banks officers decided they would take
no further chances on the guaranty law
and applied for a national charter.
The delay in granting the application
was the result of fifty other state guar
anty banks applying for national char
tiers, all of which had to be examined.
An application has been made for a
national charter for a bank here to be
known as the American National.
None of the four other banks here viii
admit they have made this move.
