+. HIS WAY
TO BERLIN
Won't Be Guest Of the
KAISER Throat is
Troubling
Him.
BY gibson GARDNER,

STOCKHOLM. May 9.-Former
President Roosevelt left for Berlin
at II o'clock this morning. His
throat, which has been raw and in
famed for several days, making il
necessary for him to curtail or omit
from his program number OF
speeches, is still giving him consid
cradle trouble.
The colonel is confident that
three days rest will strengthen his
voice, however, and that when he
arrives in Berlin he will be able to
deliver the address scheduled there
Specialists who have examined him
say that the throat trouble is not
serious, but only inconvenient and
extremely bothersome. There is
they say, no cause for apprehen
sion
A slight cold, aggravated by too
trouble. the doctors say.
Ambassador David ]. Hill will en-
tertain the Roosevelt party at Ber
lin.
The death of King Edward has
caused the kaiser to change his
plans. and the RoOsevelts will not
be entertained at the palace as had
been arranged.
Roosevelt Is making his trip to
Berlin in special trains furnished
by the Swedish and German govern
ments. The train provided by Ger
many will meet the special train
from Stockholm at the German
frontier.

persons are dead, so are injured,
some probably fatally. and the
plant of the General Explosives Co.
of Canada. near Hull, is total
wreck today as a result of a ter
rifle explosion last evening.
The force of the explosion was so
great that windows for miles
around were broken and several
dwelling houses We're wrecked. A
large number of persons were
stunned by the vibrations set up
by the great flash.
L A baseball game was in progress
near the works when fire was dis
covered in one of the small out
buildings, The crowd which had
been watching the contest ap-
preached closely to the scene to get
a better view of the blaze. Two
small explosions warned the watch,
ers away before the big explosion
occurred. There were two stunning
detonations when the magazine set
off and the countryside for mile
around was affected. Great trees
snapped off at the roots. small
buildings We're demolished and the
scene where the baseball crowd
stood was turned into blood
smeared field Of horror. Bodies
without legs and arms, decapitated
trunks. lay mixed with scores of
unconscious people. Then the tense
silence was broken by the screams

There is no exception to this rule
in the case of J. II. Elliott, the old
soldier who was thrown into Jail

stalled in the rooms of Officers /.
D. Glider and n. W. Hood.
There has been rapid progress
made during the past week in
bringing the whole infamous de-
tails Of this case to the surface.
After the facts that had been Sc
cured were laid before Prosecut-

began to happen.

The extent of the damage Is not

heavy. Fully 1000 persons are dead
in Paraiso.
Heavy rains falling constantly
yesterday and today have added
greatly to the suffering Of the
refugees. Shelters have been pro-

the homeless and they have
been huddled together, drenched by
the storm and unable to cook food
in the temporary camps.

more difficult on account of the

anxious to have someone to perform
an operation upon her to relieve
her OF the child she then carried.

pensive for continuation Customers can
effectively cooperate in such a work by
providing themselves with scales on

can be proved. A short-weight provision
