FOUR KILLED BY DYNAMITE
Explosion in Dupont Works that Shook
Country for Miles Around-Ten
Are Injured.

Newark, y. J.-Four men were
killed and ten others injured, one
fatally, when several tons of dynamite
in one of the buildings of the Forcite
Powder works at Lake Hopatcong blew
up late Wednesday. The detonation
of the huge mass of explosives shook
the country for miles around and blew
the building containing it to atoms. Of
the ii men working in it not one es-
capped death or injury.
The explosion occurred in a one
story frame building where sticks of
dynamite were stored. While it prob
ably never will be definitely known
just what caused it, it is presumed that
one of the sticks of dynamite piled in
the structure was Jared from its rest
ing place and exploded, detcnating the
whole mass. There were three or four
tons of dynamite in the building and
the force of the explosion was terrific.
The bodies of the men killed were
mutilated beyond recognition several
of the other workers in the building
were blown considerable distances and
1t is considered remarkable that only
one OF them, James Boyle, received
fatal injuries.
There was some delay in getting as
sistance to the injured, as it was feared
that others of the buildings at the
works might blow up. When it was
seen that the danger was over those on
the scene hurried to the relief of the
living victims. Physicians hastily sum-
moned treated the injured, who were
removed as fast as possible to the
companys offices.
The Forcite Powder works belong to
the Du Pont Powder Co. and manufac-

In the Halls of Congress.

Washington.-Th salary of the
president of the United States was
on the 10th fixed at 100000 per
annum, SO far as the senate
could fix it, and salaries of the vice
president and the speaker of the house
of representatives $4,000 each. The
salary of the chief justice of the Sd
preme court of the United States was
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 per

by referring it to special commit
tee, the house of representatives
proceeded to take up the various ap-
preparation bills that have been re-
ported within the past few days. The
pension and urgent deficiency bills
were passed.

MESSINA SWEPT BY FLAMES
Refugees Suffering From CoId-Great
Need Is for Protection From
the Weather.

Messina.-Messina was swept by
by bad fire again on Tuesday. For
many hours soldiers and sailors
worked heroically to keep the flames
from destroying the last remnants of
the town and eventually they succeed
ed in getting the fire under control.
The extent of the damage cannot be
estimated, because doubtless much Of
great value was burned up in the
ruins. The small force of firemen was
augmented by detachments OF sol
diers and sailors from the warships
and pumps and lines of hose were
brought ashore from the vessels.
The survivors of the earthquake
have been rendered more helpless by
the intensity of the cold. The hills all
about are white with snow and the ref
ugees are suffering greatly. Many Of
them are still living in tents and with
not sufficient clothing to protect them.
The constant cry is for lumber for the
construction of huts and the govern
ment is doing everything possible, but
the need is most urgent.

Johannesburg. Africa.-One hundred

to have lost their lives OH Friday
as result of the floods, which are
general throughout the Transvaal col
ony and northern Natal. Great dam
age also has been done to property,
mining plants having suffered heavily
and houses and railway bridges being
swept away or inundated. The floods
are the result of heavy rains that have
fallen recently and all the rivers have
been converted into roaring torrents.

Washington. d. C.-Through a ia.
vorable report made to the senate
Wednesday from the committee on
foreign Selations on an extradition

taken to break up the last remaining
asylum Of persons who commit crimes
in the United States. When this
treaty is ratified and proclaimed by the
president of the United States. extra
dition of criminals will be possible

The treaty with Honduras is partic-

that there is in that country a colony

CATASTROPHE IN CHICAGO CRIB
So WORkMEN PERISH BY ExPLO-
SION, FIRE AND WATER.
Powder Store Lets Go, Flames Follow,
and Many Leap Into Icy Waters
Injured Men in Hospitals.

Chicago, Ill.-Blown to pieces by
exploding powder, burned to death
by the resultant fire, or drowned IN
the icy waters of Lake Michigan, was
the fate Wednesday of 50 workmen
who were working on submarine
tunnel at a wooden crib mile and a
half from shore The crib was used
in the construction of a new sub
marine water tunnel connecting with
the South Side shore of the city at
Seventy-third street. 1t is known that
80 workmen were employed in the
crib and the connecting tunnel at the
time of the explosion, which started
the fire and blew or drove men into
the water. The work of the destroy
ing elements was begun unexpectedly
and reaped its harvest of dead and in
jured with swiftness. All the South
Side hospitals are filled with injured
men.
Owing to the difficulty experienced
by small craft in reaching the crib
during the winter, most of the work
men employed on the work, particular
ly those who had no families, slept in
temporary hunks at the crib. 1t was
just as these men had been awakened
for the days work that the explosion
and subsequent fire caused the pande-
monium which resulted in the great
loss of life. AS nearly as the investi-
gators have been able to ascertain, the
explosion occurred in small powder
house situated about 100 yards from
the crib structure proper
The dull detonation, muffled as it
was by the crunching of floating ice
against the crib and the atmosphere
laden with heavy fog, simply aroused
the attention of the workmen, accord
ing to survivors, and it was not until
the heat of the flames and the sitting
smoke penetrated the so-called "liv-
ing room" of the crib and the tunnel
beneath the waters of the lake that
the full import of the disaster dawned
upon the workmen, cut off from quick
succor, One of the workmen made his
way through the smoke to a telephone
that communicated with the shore
station The crib is on fire." he said
For Gods sake send help at once or
we will be burned alive. The tug
At this point communication ceased.

Sacramento, Cal.-President Roose-
welt has taken a hand in the
anti-Japanese legislation now before
the California legislature and has
asked the governor to take steps
to have all legislation held up until
the president can be heard in the mat
ter In a telegram sent Saturday this
request was embodied and letter is
en- route to Sacramento which will
give the chief executives views and
wishes in the matter of Legislation
against the little brown men,"
According to a statement made
Tuesday night by Gov. Gillett there
will be no legislation against Japan at
this session of the Legislature. The
governor authorized the following:
After comforting with the leading
members of both branches of the leg
islature l am convinced that no legis-
lation directed against the Japanese
Will be enacted. | am satisfied that
the people of California and particu-
larly the members of our Legislature
appreciate the efforts being made by
the federal government and the rep
resentatives of Japan to stop immigra-
ton to this country of Japanese labor,
skilled and unskilled. There can be
no doubt that the Japanese govern
ment is acting absolutely in good
faith in its endeavor to prevent it's
people emigrating to our country and
in my judgment it would be a serious
l,:I
enact any laws directed at the Jap
anese people. This question is one in
which the federal government is par
ticularly interested and its wishes
should be carefully considered and
will be, l am sure, by the people of
this state"

Washington, d. C.-That President
Roosevelt feels sufficiently concerned
about the proposed Japanese legisla-
ton in California to write an i'm
portant letter to Gov. Gillett of that
state, is admitted at the White House.
The president strongly feels that the
objection to Japanese immigration to
this country is fast being settled by
the agreement in existence between
the United States and Japan, under
the terms of which the president
points out, 1000 more Japanese have
left America in the last six months
than have come in.

The Secret Of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.
I The ink manufacturer has made
great strides in his field. He has pro-
duced many colored fluids that seem
we'll adapted to ordinary use. But
how long will this ink last without
fading?
Did you ever pick up lettar writ
ten ten or fifteen years ago and note
how much of 1t is illegible because the
Ink has faded? Some precious docu-
ments not n century old are preserved
today In air tight cases. so that the ink
will not fade any more. Others have
been copied in order to retain the ex.
net chirography of the original authors,
Fading ink is one of the things in
which the ancients did not believe.
Many of the medieval manuscripts
six and seven hundreds years old have
their letters formed of Ink that is as
black and bright as ON the day when
first written.
Who has the secret Of this lost art
OF making durable ink? 1t is another
one of the lost arts that is worthy of
Investigation. The ancients had fewer
materials to work with and less facil-
tiles for laboratory tests, but we must
acknowledge that there are some
things in which they excelled u.s..
