GOOD VIEW OF THE TAIL
SECURED BY ASTRONOMERS

CHICAGO, May 1s.--A splendid view OF
the tail OF the comet was -n-oyed here
from ! TO $3.50 o'clock this morning
THE comets head was not above the
horizon until just before the sun rose but
the tail presented an exceedingly bright
picture" declared Prof. E. L. Barnard OF
the Yerkes observatory. 'The width OF
the tail was from ; 10 6 degrees. while
its length was 10T degrees. II was
brighter than any portion of the milky
way. II was slightly convex at the north
and slightly more brilliant AT the middle
The edges were well defined and through
out there were no condensauons or other
irregularities.

ETHICAL PROBLEM OF
PROBATION DISCUSSED

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 1s.-The only
real danger of the probation system in
the treatment of offenders against law,
as pointed out by Judge Harvey II.
Baker OF the Juvenile court of Boston,
in an address before the national CON
ference on the education of backward,
truant, delinquent and dependent chill
dren here this morning, docs not come
from anything Inherent in the proba-
tion system itself, but from other
things, due to its faulty administration.
"What is most frequently suggested
as a danger Of probation said Judge
Baker, "is that its use will impair the
deterrent effect on potential offenders
of proceedings against actual offenders.
Probation in its essence is the holding
of fine and commitment In allegiance,
putting the offender under a trained
worker who tries TO put him right. Such
oversight efficiently maintained is a
strenuous experience for the boy who
has got into lawless habits, and the way
for courts and communities TO avoid
danger in the use of this system is to
insist on effective administration by eff
ficient probation officers. -

SUN SPOTS NOTED
AS COMET IS NEAR

PASADENA. Cal. May IS-WhiIe
waiting for any manifestations OF the
comets proximity today, Director George
K. Hale OF the Carnegie observatory on
Mount Wilson. trained the big telescope
and solar photographing apparatus on
the spots that now mark the suns face.
He and his assistants found one group
Of spots located approximately in the
center OF the sun, a smaller group. which
DIR. Hale says appears 10 be associated
with the larger, and single small spot
standing on the edge OF the sun,
DR.. Hale estimated the total length OF
The penumbra, or shadowy rim OF the
spots, he said. were found TO contain
three urnbras, or black areas, one OF
which was larger than the other two.
The smaller group consists OF one spot
with TWO umbras and several smaller
spots.
Previous photographs were taken Of the
spots May IA and these show the groups
OF spots near the eastern edge OF the sun.
Since then the larger spot has greatly
Increased in size.
The spots are Of the tornado type
that is. worthless, or whirling volumes
OF intensely heated gases and metallic
vapor. highly charged with electricity
which produce strong magnetic fields. Dr..
Hale said. These fields might disturb the
magnetism OF the earth, but DR.. Hale
added that he did not think the spots
were responsible for recent seismic dis
turbances.
You can say for me-" he said to the
Associated Press. that there Is not the
slightest reason to suppose that the sun
spots have any connection either with
recent earthquakes OF the comet"

NO EXPLANATION FOR
EXPLOSION AT CANTON

CANTON, o., May 1S.-An investi-
cation into the cause of the boiler ex-
plosion at the plant of the American
sheet and Tin Plate company
yesterday was begun today. Coroner
Marsh of Stark county has found no
one employed at the mill who is able to
give an explanation for the accident.
Thirteen bodies were removed from
the wrecked plant last night and an
all night search resulted IN the finding
Of one more body. Several OF the in
iured men are in critical condition
and probably will die.
An examination showed hut three of
the battery of the seven boilers eX-
ploded, others being merely displaced.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. The big plant is practically to.
tai loss. A mere shell of the building
is left
Identification of the men was diff
cult Heads, arms and legs were blown
from bodies and fragments of the
bodies were blown blocks from the
scene. Bits of human flesh have been
picked up on porches and roofs Of
houses and in trees
One hundred men were at work in the
plant at the time Of the accident. But
n dozen or so escaped some injury and
these worked heroically to rescue their
fellow workmen from the burning ruins.
The body Of one man was blown
through house, 700 feet from the
plant, The body entered the house
from the east side and landed in n
straight line through bedroom and ont
the west side.
Another man was found in a garden
500 feet away. ''For God IS sake hit
me on the head and kill me- he cried
to q workman who found him. The in
jured man had an arm torn off and u
great hole in his side,
The plant had five mills. All the
employees working at mills /. 9, 3 and
were either killed or injured, while
the men on mill No. 5, farthest from
the boilers, escaped serious injury,

UNITED STATES STILL
GUARDING NICARAGUA

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Command.
er Gilmer of the United States gun
boat Paducah has served notice on
General lrias, who is in command OF
the Venus. that he will not permit a
bombardment of the city of Bluefields,
Nicaragua, and he has also notified
General Estrada and President Madriz
that he will not permit any armed CON
flict within the city.
These notices were sent after Gen
eral Irias had given notice of his in
tention to lombard the city should
General Estrada not surrender In the
meantime.
General Estrada, it is learned, has re-.
fused to comply with the demand for
Mr.. Moffat, consul at Bluefields, tel.
egraphs under yesterdays date that
the Venus with 800 men and mounted
guns on board reached Bluefields at 3
p, m. A demand for the surrender of
the city and the customs house at the
Paducah and the consulate. The demand
stated that if the surrender was re-
fused Bluefields and the bluff would be
bombarded.
Commander Gilmer served notice that
for the purpose of protecting the lives
and property of Americans and other
foreigners in Bluefields, he demanded
first. that there should be no armed
conflict in the city; second, that only
such armed forces not exceeding one
hundred men be allowed in Bluefields
as were necessary for purposes of po-
lice duty until a stable government was
established third, no bombardment of
the city be permitted since there was
no armed force in Bluefields and such
bombardment would result only IN the
destruction of the lives and property
Of Americans and other foreign non
combatants.
Mr.. Moffat also reports that Estrada
has replied to Irias, refusing to surren-
der.
The steamship Dictator of New Or
leans was just entering the port when
Mr.. Moffat telegraphed and notice of
the blockade was being served on her
by the commander of the Venus.

observations OF the sun we're possible.
But even II there had been the fact re-
mains that the greatest university -cntc-
of the country is without n flrst-class

DR.. il. Jacoby Rutherford. professor Of
astronomy at Columbia university, said
tonight the sun spots reported today
from various observatories In the west
might be due TO the passage OF the comet
across the face OF the sun or they might
be merely fortuitoUs.
