EXPLOSION
Buildings Are Crushed
BY the Failing
Structure

~ LEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 16.-Seven
men and three women, two of
whom may die, were injured to-
day wnen an explosion of natural gas
wrecked the four-story building occu-
pied by the Wirick Moving and Stor-
age company.
The roof of the building was lifted
high in the air. A falling wall crashed
in upon an adjoining saloon, causing
much damage. Another wall almost
demolished meat shop.
Immediately following the explosion
seven buildings in the neighborhood
were afire and a conflagration threat
ened the district, but quick work on
the part of the firemen saved it.
Most of those injured were employ
ed in the storage building. Frank
Wirick, manager of the storage house,
was badly burned. Loss 100000.

a1 nor Chas. N. Haskell and
the five other defendants, indicted
in connection with the alleged
Muskogee lot frauds, today filed
motions in the federal court to
quash the indictments setting
forth number of sensational al
legations.
Aside from charges against five
grand jurors and the allegations
of improper conduct ON the part
of United States Marshal Grant
Victor, the allegations deal large
ly with the grand jury's selection,
with especial objection to the ex-
clusion of Muskogee county, the
home of the defendants, from the
territory from where the jury was
chosen. 1t is alleged that Geo.
w. Strawn, J. III. Dixon, j. C.
Burgess, A. G. Dumas and w. I.
Bailey, members of the grand jury
which indicted the defendants, de-
liberately sought to go on that
jury with a view to returning in
dictments; that Strawn, as fore
man, conspired to intimidate the
other jurors into voting indict-
ments after they had refused to
do so.
The motion insists that Foreman
Strawn repeatedly told the jurors that
they would probably be charged with
perjury if they failed to indict and at
one time, when the ballot stood eight
to eight, he called for an open vote
so he would know who should be
prosecuted. 1t is alleged that out of
eight talesmen selected, seven were
partisan Republicans and the eighth
an enemy of Governor Haskell. Gov
ernor Haskell is a Democrat.
After pointing out numerous techni-
calities in the manner and time of
the grand jury's sessions the motion
declares there was no evidence pre-
sented to show a conspiracy to de-
interior and all of it's departments in
the Indian territory were fully aware
of how the lots were scheduled and
that no objection was raised.
The six defendants were indicted by
the federal grand jury at Tulsa, Okla.
on May 27, charged with obtaining IT,
ties from the government to town
lots in Muskogee by illegal methods.

TO the Indiana Plan
Would Prevent the Propagation of
Criminals and ldiots---Li1dsey
Don't Like Present Way

G. EATTLE, Aug. 16.-The debate in
the American Prison association
congress today on the Indiana
plan" for preventing the propagation
of criminals and idiots, developed an
almost unanimous sentiment in favor
of the plan and was, according to
Pres. J. T. Gilmour of Toronto, Can
ada the most profitable discussion the
association has held in years. The
features of tonight's session was the
reports of the committee on preven-
tion and probation, presented by
Judge Ben Lindsay of Denver, who
said in part:
"Our criminal law, as it came down
to us through feudalism, tainted with
it's extreme respect for property that
only eQualled it's corresponding disre-
spect for human life and feeling, was
an instrumentality of government far
from perfect even for the purposes
for which it was intended.
Admitting that it was necessary
and justifiable in that period of So
cial development-as we must, yet we
must equally admit it must do more
harm than good. as long as it's rests
alone on force, violence, vengeance
and punishment.
"The time may come, however, far
| in the future, it may be, however un-
prepared We may be for it now, when
I the state will come to deal with a
criminal much as we now do with the
| insane.
But this treatment of the criminal
| will be as unlike the extreme methods
in vogue of stripes, iron cells and
other reminders of degradation as it
is in the treatment of insane who,
within a century were as completely
brutalized and degraded as convicts
are now"
Mrs. Ellen Foster of Washington
spoke on THE Harmony of Progress"
and Eli Brown of Frankfort, KY, on
probation of the South"
'The county Jail has been charged
indicted, tried and convicted time and
again for running the bodies and souls
of it's victims, but each time the ex-
ecution has been stayed and it is still
unwhipped of justice" said w. A
Gates, secretary of the California
board of charities.
"To reform the county Jail and make
it an instrument of good, instead OF
evil the following steps are neces-
sary:
District work houses for all pris-
oners sentenced to terms in Jail and a
proper labor system installed therein

ing to the wet season last year and
the hail storm of this year they
are unable to figure on productive
capacity. They recommend that
settlers be allowed to file on 640
acres of pasture lands, less the
number of acres already filed on,
adjoining the project.
Mr.. Sampson. who presented
and read the views of the COM
mittee, was subjected to quite an
examination by the members of
tthe senate committee. He said
that his experience and observa-
tions led him to believe that it
would be impossible for man to
provide for his family and make
the payments required by law
within the first two years, and
he therefore recommended an ex-
tension of the time within which
payments should be made.
G.. F. Bush also addressed the
committee, principally with ref
ere nee to the Indian payments,
which amount to 81 per acre.
j. f. Gault addressed the com
mittee, citing his own situation

of inability to meet the contracted
payments as illustrative of the
general condition of the settlers.
In relation to the general
charges of extravaganza in the
reclamation service and the en-
ployment of too many officers, en-
gineers and the like, Senator
Carter called upon NJ. E. Reed,
the project engineer, whose testi-
mony was most brief, inasmuch
as he had assumed charge after
most of the extravaganza COM
planned of had occurred.
H. B. Everett, of the Anita dis
trict, in some brief remarks COM
planned of the tramping down of
the bitches by cattle, and sug-
gested that this would probably
Increase the maintenance charge
from year to year until proper
measures were taken to prevent it.
A. L. Makinson submitted his
views in regard to fencing the
laterals to prevent the incursion
of cattle.
s. c. Meyers and E. Eiker
briefly addressed the committee
and the secretary of the interior
Mr.. Ballinger, had a frank talk
with the audience as to the law
and it's enforcement, explaining
that where he had discretion his
best efforts would be directed to
ward ameliorating the conditler
of the settler. His remarks were
heartily applauded.

"a mittee on irrigation held a
meeting here today which were
present a large number of settlers
on the Huntley project. In re-
sponse to the interrogatories pro
pounded by the committee from
Washington, E. c, Sampson, as
chairman of the committee ap-
pointed by the Water Users as
sociation, presented the views of
the settlers. The local commit

careful interested management the
cost of maintaining and operating
the canal and distributing system
can be reduced so per cent. 1t
is their opinion that the water
users cannot promptly make the
payments required by the existing
law, and that no penalties should
be enforced for default therein.
They complain that freight rates
are not satisfactory, and that ow

Throughout the southwest the day
was the most trying since the devas-
tation and drouth of 1901. At the
winds, soaring, swept across the
plains much vegetation fell.
In Kansas City, the heat killed one
and prostrated a score of whom some
are in a serious condition. The union
came seriously i'll and medical atten-
tion was needed before their mothers
could resume their journeys. The
distress of party of immigrants was
great. The likelihood of an ice fam
inc has raised the gravity Of the sit
uation here. Dealers reported that
factories were running night and
day but the unusual demand had ex-
hausted the supply. Most of the deal
ers refused to deliver more than %
pounds to any residence and fear they
will have to cut this quota down by
tomorrow. At Wellington, Kansas,
the official temperature was LOG.
Corn is suffering greatly from the
lack of rain. Today was the hottest
Topeka has had in eight years, 1O2 de-
grees being officially recorded. Two
prostrations resulted there.
The past eight days in Kansas, each
with a maximum temperature above
80 degrees and a minimum which has
not been below 20, is the hottest per-
iod for that length of time since 1901.
In Oklahoma City the government
thermometer registered 103, while the
thermometer in the business district
reached 112.
At Muskogee the government ther-
highest recorded in the three states. A
hot wind blew all day at McAlester

tion is being killed.
TOPEKA, Kas., Aug 16.-Last night
was the hottest of the season, the
thermometer registering "a degrees

slept out of doors. This has been the
hottest period since 1901.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 16.-Today
was the hottest day in St. Joseph in
five years. The mercury registered
96 at 10 o'clock, one degree above
yesterdays record at that time.
LINCOLN, Aug. 16.-All local hot
records for this year were broken to-
day when the weather bureau report
ed a temperature of 103 this after
noon. Suffering has been intense.
There has been no rain in this Sec

the country are that the corn crop
had already been seriously damaged.
Reports from McAlester concern a

HE visit of the committee
to the Huntley project was
~ opportune," said Senator
Carter to the correspondent of
The Gazette. ''That portion of the
irrigated land unaffected by the
recent hail storm presents a scene
calculated to inspire hope and
confidence. Crops are abundant
and the people confident of sue
cess. The area over which the
devastating hail storm spread car
ries a lesson instructive alike to
congress and to the executive Of
6cers charged with the admins
tration of the law, for it makes
quite obvious the fact that reason
able discretion must be lodged in
the secretary of the interior au-
thorizing relaxation of the rigid
rules of the law when such an
emergency arises as that which
renders the settlers of the ha L
stricken district utterly unable to
comply with the terms of their
contracts with the government.
II was much gratified to note
that those most deeply afflicted
manifested disposition to try
again. and in no instance did we
encounter any settler so discour-
aged as to contemplate abandon
ing his farm
"The settlers are as a rule in
experienced in the use of water
for irrigation, and they undoubt-
edly need the aid and counsel of
a few men of long actual exper-
ience in irrigation work. This
need will, l think, be supplied,
and at the same time the present
burden of expense for mainte-
nance will be, as I think it should
be. reduced. There are too many
salaried officers. of little or no ac-
tual experience in the irrigation
of land or the raising of crops.

that the county commissioners ex-
pect to expend during the autumn
about $4,000 in necessary road
work within the limits of the
project, primarily to improve the
roads, but with the commendablt
and incidental, though important
purpose, of giving employment te

towns will grow up on the prof.
ect, but the whole settlement will

usually large office force, in that
several hundred letters are daily
