The explosion followed a day Of fes-
tivity. The fireworks in the early
part Of the program had been dis
played without mishap, and almost
every Italian in the city was congre-
gated IN and about the lot. Grassfe
had constructed a bomb by filling a
section Of gas pipe with powder and
plugging up one end. He had been
warned to place 1t on the ground be-
fore firing it, but neglected to do 80.
The crowd surged around him as Ne
knelt to light the fuse, and before
he could regain his feet tho explosion
occurred. Pieces Of pipe flew in an

Panic Follows.
a panic followed as the crowa
stroVe to get away. The policemen
who We're stunned and knocked down,
had been detailed to the place to pre-
serve order. Someone telephoned to the
police station, and ambulances soon
arrived to care for the injured. 1T was
considered remarkable that many
others were not killed.

BIG BILL s JOURNEY.
TO Be A LONGER
AFFAIR
ARE NOW THAT
PRESIDENT TAFT WILL
EXTEND ITINERARY.

Washington, july 11.--Indications
multiply that President Taft's am
nounced itinerary ror mis- western and
southern trip this fall may be extended.
The president did not include in. the
tentative list Which was published all
of the places where he expects to hold
a brief car-end reception. Strong eff
forts will be made by congressman and
state officials to have the president
stop for a. few minutes at least at
nearly all the towns of appreciable size
through which his train will pass in
the daylight hours. Thus far the pres
ident has adhered to the policy of
journeying in a single private car at
tached to regular trains. On his far
western trip, however, it is likely the
president will follow the policy of his
predecessors in charterng a special
train. #~-
The Presidential Party.
The president expects to be away for
two months and will have to carry a
corps of stenographers, clerks ana
telegraphers in addition to his secre-
taries. Thus far the presidential party
has been confined to the chief execu-
tive, Captain Archibald w. Butt, his
military aide; Assistant Secretary
Mischler, Major Arthur Brooks and two
secret service men, James Sloan, who
was with President Roosevelt for seven
years, and Jack" Wheeler, who has
accompanied Mr.. Taft since his cleo
tion.
The porter and cook assigned to the
president have been travelling With
presidents for many years. Will S.
Anderson, the porter, was promoted to
presidential service in 1901 and was
with President Roosevelt on all his
travels. j. c. Broadus, the chef to the
president While en- route, began serv-
ice under President Mckinley. The
third member of the crew, e. B. Letch-
er, has also seen service under three
presidents,
Comfort and Safety.
The railroads in taking every pre-
caution for the comfort and safe con-
veyance of the president, have three
men always on the engine. Sometimes
the third man may be the division
superintendent. Always there is a rep
resentative of the traffic department
on board with authority to take con-
troll in an emergency. The railroads
much prefer to carry the president by
special train and often do SO nowadays
in preference to hauling his car at the
end of a regular train.

THEATER
sPOkAN E

Richard earle works hard to en-
terrain his audience in the musical
farce "Mary's Lamb" and sue
ceeds. He is the great factotum in
the play and sings, dances and
gambols about in all sorts of ways,
to the seeming great delight of the
audience. Richards singing does
not possess much melody, yet it
takes well with the house. His
comedy is .not>s irresistibly funny,
yet about everything he does
makes people laugh. The audi
ence seems to realize that earle is
there to entertain them, and every
clownish move he makes has a lit
tie fun in it. earle is supporteo
by good company, including sew
eral choruses and few comedians
of lesser note than the star him.
self. "Mary's Lamb" Is somewhat
immoral in it's suggestions, but
people do not go to see a show
with chorus girls to be elevated
morally. Garlic was greeted by a
large audience last night and all
seemed to enjoy the production.

Two months later, Mrs. Wilder

Within another month, Rev. Mr..

Months passed and the suit was

Washington and at the capital of a
middle western state. Congress-
man Victor Murdoch, the leader of

The play has been read by many
prominent men in Washington, in

Postmaster General Hitchcock,
Senator Beveridge and Senator La
Toilette. On learning that Mr..
Needham had placed his play, Will
liam Loeb. jr., collector of the port
of New York, and formerly secre-
tary to President Roosevelt, said:
II am delighted to hear that Mr..
Needham has placed his play SO
auspiciously. and know that Mr..
Roosevelt will be glad to hear 1t,
as he was intensely interested in
the sincere message which Mr..
Needham Is sending the country In
this drama We have had a great
many Washington plays, but !
know that Mr.. Roosevelt believes
this to be real politics"
Senator LaFollette recently read
the play aloud to some friends who
were dining at his house, and i'm
mediateiy wrote Mr.. Needham:
1--WE were all intensely interested
in its vivid and dramatically
unique presentation of true and
compelling story. You have in the
political theme of your play made
a graphic, dramatic cosmos of
many of the existing political con-
ditions, and the play will, think,
make strong appeal to audiences
in various parts of the country. 1t
combines SO many elements within
the personal experience of people
In both the large cities and the
smaller districts. 1t is a play with
a message for those who choose to
hear it, but the strongly dramatic
story would hold those who have
no interest in politics"
Klaw & Erlanger are to give the
play first class production, with
a large and capable cast, in the
fall. The play will be brought out

SPRINGFIELD, O., May e.
Hello, there! Mr.. Reporter.
Don't get scared at this outfit Pm
wearing. It's only my way of
doing this. I've got a gold mine
here in this little greenhouse and
I'm taking care of it."
This greeting was given to the
reporter who called at the home of
Mrs. Carrie Wilder, estranged
wife. of the Rev. Alfred ]. Wilder,
rector of the First Episcopal
church at Daytona, Fla. Mrs.
Wilder is living with her parents
in Springfield. She gained consid-
cradle notoriety through a sensa-
tional visit recently to the home
of her husband in the land of flow
ers.
Attired in mans full suit of
blue overalls and high laced boots,
her sleeves rolled up to the ell
bows, the rector's wife, happy as
lark in springtime, was busy
planting carnation slips in her
little garden outside the green
house.
Mrs. Wilder told about her
visit to her husband.

know whether still loved Mr..
Wilder or not" she said. 81 con-

The rector's wife clipped off
few more carnations. Pretty, pc.
tite, fascinating and 25, she threw
back her head jauntily. The
mans broad-brimmed straw hat
she was wearing blew aside, re-

face that beamed with smiles over
the recollection of her invasion of
her husbands home.

All things considered, the Shir-

them. There are strong dramatic
parts, a good line of comedy, spe-

a play of this character popular.
