SHAKES NEW YORK |
GAS EXPLOSION SENDS A TREMoR
ALONG THE ENTIRE ROCK
BACKBONE OF MANHATTAN
Accident Causes Death Of Ten Per
sons, the Injury Of One Hundred
and Twenty-Five Others and
Heavy Property Loss.

New York.-A terrific explosion OF
Illuminating gas in the auxiliary pow
er house at the Grand Central station,
which sent a tremor along the entire
rock backbone of Manhattan, Monday
morning, caused the deaths of ten per-
sons, two of them women, the injury
Of l25 others and property damage
estimated at from 100000 to $4,000
GOO.
On technical charge of homicide.
the police took into custody Albert
Segarrat, motorman OF train which
bumped into and broke one of the gas
pipes near the sub-station. Segarrat
said he tried to stop the train, but
could not do so. He said the collision
with the buffer and gas pipes occurred
at 1853, and that he notified the COM
pany at that time of the accident. The
explosion came exactly twenty min
utes later.
The force of the explosion ran north
and south from one to two miles along
the rocky ridge that is the backbone
of the island, and east and west lat
orally for mile.
Foundations were Jared, walls
were shaken out of plumb, windows
were blown in by the thousands, cell
ings came crashing down on the heads
of those beneath, and the pavements
were Uttered with pulverized glass.

hair. At any rate. they always wore
white robes on New Years day. for
that was the day wher they cut down
the sacred mistletoe.
For the Druids didn't think that
mistletoe was only pretty green
vine. They believed II to be a mi.
raculous growth hich would pre-
vent people from being harmed by
poisonous food or drink.
On that day a particularly large.
handsome Druid. with glistenins
white beard and hair and rather cold
gray eyes-Druils always had cold
gray eyes we believe-and clothed
most beautifully In white, would
climb the oak tree on which the mis-.
tletoe grew and cut 1t down with
golden sickle, He wouldn't take 1t In
his hand, because they didn't con.
slider that respectful enough to the
sacred mistletoe. which could do such
wonderful things. Instead he would
catch 1t in a pure white cloth and
climb carefully down the tree with
It. After this an altar would be erect
ed and white bulls sacrificed and
prayers offered Then the Druidical
community felt that for the following
year they would have all the good
luck possible.
You see in those days New Years
celebrations were very serious things,
and all of the ceremonies attending
them were religious.

Picket.

Chicago.-The passage of all hope
of an immediate settlement of the gar

strikers into a frenzy of despair on
Thursday, and the labor war entered
the most serious stage of its history
In riots, which began early, one striker
was shot and killed, another was prob
ably fatally wounded, four policemen
were injured and another striker was
hurt.
The strikers were shot by the po-
lice in riot in which the garment
workers attacked the bluecoats with
black jacks of their own construc-
ton, heavy pieces of lead with leather
thongs as handles.
The rioting started when woman
breaker slapped picket VINO

TAFT SCOFFS At WAR SCARE
President Taft Tells Peace Society the
country's unpreparedness Has
Been Exaggerated.

MISUNDERSTANDING the sup
preston of Secretary Dickinson's re-
port pointing out the military unpre-
paredness of the United States. well

While the war scare was assuming
proportions. the American
Society for the Judicial Settlement
of International Disputes held ban
quet in the interest of worlds peace
here Saturday night. Many noted
men spoke, and among them was
President Taft, who declared it was
his purpose to allay the 'so-called
war scare"
There is not the slightest reason
for such d sensation, because we are
at peace with all nations of the world
and are quite likely to remain SO, ne
said.
The president said his purpose in
outlining the preparedness of the
United States for war "at a peace
meeting" was to show by contrast the
great worthiness of the movement for
a permanent court OF arbitrative JUS
tice and universal peace.
The president summarized the con-
dition of the national defenses, and
urged that policy OF wise military
preparation" he pursued. He empha-
sized the fact that the American peo-
pie never would consent to the main
tenance OF a standing army sufficient
to cone with that of the greater pow
ers. He urged the retention of the
present regular army, the improve
ment of the national militia, the pas
sage of the present volunteer bill to
go into operation should war be de
clared, and the passage of law now
before congress providing for force
of additional officers who will be
"able in times of peace to render eff
cient service in drilling the militia OF
