DYNAMITE KILLS 4
MOTOR CAR AT PHOENIX is
BLOWN To PIECES.
Careless Motorman Is Cause of Dread
full Tragedy-Charge of Dynamite
Explodes When Gasoline Car Is over
Lighted Fuse - Prominent Mining
Men Blown to Atoms.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 7-Heedless of
the warning of a foreman in charge of
the excavating operations at the line
of the private motor road from Kelvin
to the Ray copper mines, the motorman
of a gasoline car carrying six passen-
gers, ran his car too close to the exca-
walton just as the fuse burned to a
heavy charge Of dynamite this after
noon and the car and its seven occu-
pants were blown to atoms. The dead:
j. b. Joyce, A. 5. Biebar and j. c.
Griffin, civil engineers employed by
the Ray Consolidated Copper company;
Il. p. Coleman, of Salt Lake City; w.
IL. Freeland and Walter Q. Frenz, min
ing engineers, employed by Henry
Krumm and engaged in sampling and
development work at the Ray mines;
w. IL. Lyall, motorman of the car.
The foreman had discovered missed
shot in the excavation at noon and be
fore the motor car came in sight he had
relighted the fuse As the car ap
preached he signaled the motorman and
warned him of the impending explosion
Motorman Lyall, evidently believing he
could take his car past the charge tC
safety before the explosion, paid nc
attention to the warning and started
again at full speed.
just as the car was passing tn,
charge the explosion came and the cal
with its load of human freight wai
blown high in the air amid a grea
cloud of debris. The lives of all thos,
inside the car were snuffed out in an in
slant. The dead men were all promi
nent in Arizona mining affairs.

TO FLOOD TOWN SITE.

shoshone Valley of Wyoming to Be
Irrigated by the Government.
The little town of Marquette up in
the Shoshone valley of Wyoming, is
preparing to get a move on, for one of
these days the ground on which 1t
stands will be 100 feet under water; so
the Marquetteites are preparing for the
day when the food shall come and
they will hoof it off to some more ele-
waited plain.
The cause Of all this trouble to Mar
quette and few ranches in the neigh
borhood is Uncle Sam. who is prepar-
ing to put plug in the canyon be-
tween Rattlesnake and Cedar noun
tains, where the Shoshone river roars
through, and the result is going to be
a great big pond four miles wide, the
Pathfinder says.
The government wants to soak the
soil of about 10000 acres OF land for
the people OF that region, so what is
now practically worthless will blossom
and bring forth fruit, each tree and
bush Of It's own kind. For three years
the engineers have been hustling
around out there getting things to 60
ing and now they are going at a
straight-ahead rate, and Wyoming is
going to possess the highest dam in
the world.
The place that the government
picked out for building the great res
ervoir Is an ideal one, right between
the great precipitous sides OF two
mountains where they rise to height
of something over 1000 feet Here
the water has been careering and tum-
bling through for ages while lands not
far away we're parched and useless.
1t was impossible to do anything in
the chasm while the great sweep of
waters passed through it. So the

Things That Happen to Some Pretty
hmm tgrants In New York.

hth4s lhAt happen 10 some fretty
immigrants In New York.
Maybe you don't believe these stor
les of the white slave" traffic in New
York. Think they are inspired by
political bias. perhaps? Well. on the
authority of a leader of a tough east
side gang, the tenth has never been
told. 'Jimmy"'-that isn't his name,
but 1t will do-doesnt deal in the
blood and flesh of women, nor do any
of his men. Murder, perhaps-just
plain, honest murder-they might not
hesitate at; repeating is worthy 90
cupation to them; highway robbery
and burglary leaves no stain upon
man, in their manner of thinking.
But the men of that gang are Irish &c
a man. almost. and the Irish protect
women always. Naturally enough.
Jimmy" is not attacking the political
system that makes his existence pos
sible. He is no reformer. But he
isn't afraid to tell what he knows.
I'm not sayin' that politicians run
this woman business" said Jimmy, ac
cording to the Cincinnati Times-Star
New York correspondent. But III
tell you one thing l know and you can
guess for yourself. Not three weeks
ago there was a steamer load of dagos
and hunkies come in. Some of thin
young women was purity as flowers
They was a coupler men in the steer
age that spots the girls that has no
relatives here in Moo Yawk to raise
a holler, and when the boat gets in
they tips it off to the knuckle-nosed
thief that they work for"
Jimmy didn't call this person a
thief. He used stronger worldly
far. Thin girls goes troo Ellis isl.
and and they is brought to tn bath
cry on their way uptown. Some of
EN- goes peaceable, depindin' on the
stories theyse told of good places
waitin for em at fine wages. But
the purtiest of the bunch don't fall
for thin yarns. She's goin' to some
frinds of hers. she says, and she has
their address. Well, what happens
| Nawthin' much, only between the
landin' stage, and the subway entrance
a taxicab whirls up and this purity
girl is thrown in and two men-thim
fellers call thimsilves men-they
chokes her cries and you know what
the rest of the story is. And there's
nothin' done. No report ever made
to the police. No newspaper ever
heard of it. And that purity. innocent
sweet-faced little girl is lost-lost,
tell you It'd be no good gettin her
back now. Do you think they could
have pulled that off without some one
standin' in? Because l don't"

do but drill a tunnel OF 500 feet
through the side of the mountain and
let the water run around the spot
where the dam was to be built.
Special roads had to be constructed
for eight miles along the mountain
side where the slope was anywhere
from As to 80 degrees. Every now and

origin of "rhe Big stick"

The first association of Theodore
Roosevelt with the phrase, the big
stick" dates from a speech delivered
by him at Chicago in 1902. On that
occasion he said: There is a home
ly old adage which runs. Speak soft
ly and carry big stick. and you will
go far"
The New York World, in an edito-
rial published Sept. %. 1904. revived
the speech. contrasting 1t, in parallel
columns, with Roosevelt's pacific speech
to the delegates of the Interparlia-
mentary Peace Union, Sept. "a, 1904
The first cartoon embodying the
big stick" idea was published in the
World of Oct. IL, 1904. II represented
Roosevelt mounted on fiery steed,
throwing a lasso around the flying
Angel of Peace and carrying a cudgel
bearing the words big stick" upon It
It Is interesting to notice the vary
ing changes in cartoons in the charao-
ter of this stick At first It was sim
ply a long, round stick of uniform
thickness. 1t later changed to the
knotted club or bludgeon type, and
now 1t is often seen with a spear pro
truding from the large end. This lat
ter form was derived from Roosevelt's
expression, MY spear knows no

in Rooseyelt's emblem and the mail

There was once young Californian
who often visited a leading hotel in
Santa Barbara because they have such
excellent honey there-a honey that the
bees make from a certain flower.
The young man got married in due
course of time, and the wedding trip
must include Santa Barbara, so the
bride might taste of this superb honey
But the first morning at the hotel
there was no honey on the breakfast
table. The bridegroom frowned. He
called the old, familiar waiter over to
him.
Where IS my honey7" he demanded.
The waiter hesitated, looked awk-
wardly at the bride, then bent toward
the young man s ear, and in a stage
whisper stammered;

FRESHMAN oBEYs ORDERS.
Saws OF Log and Takes Drop of Six
Stories.

New York.-Patrick Diskin, a car
penter who recently came to New York
from the west, is in the Lebanon hos
pital because he deliberately sawed off
the end of the log on which he was
seated six stories above the ground.
There is something surprising in the
fact that Dislkin is apparently not seri-
ously injured.
Diskin had been ordered to saw off
the end of the log, which projected
from a window over the street. He
went up, got out on the end of the
beam and carefully sawed it in two
between himself and the window. He
and the end of the log fell together
to the pavement. Neither was hurt
much. The beam was little bruised
on one corner and Patrick was uncon-
scious from couple of scalp wounds
When asked why he had done such a
thing Diskin replied in some heat.
Sure, them was me ordhers.'

Wonderful Tale of the Development
of One of the Worlds Great
est MonopoIies.
HAvEMEYERs' FIRST EFFORT.
Out of Bakery Came Great Enter
prises and Absolute Control Of
Household Necessity.

The story OF sugar in the United
jtates is the history OF the house OF
Havemeyer 1t is one of the wonder
tales of American industrial develop
ment 1t is the story of plodding
beginning, a logged determination
coupled with an hereditary genius for
the business, and finally of fruition In
one of the greatest industrial mo-
nopolies the world has ever seen, says
Judson c. Welliver in Ha.mpton's Mag
azine.
The sugar trust is monument to
the genius of one man, Henry o.
Havemeyer. 1t is the contamination
of the efforts OF four generations OF
ancestral intimacy with sugar in this
country and Germany. From the day
when the Havemeyer family started
its first refinery in America over
century ago, sugar has meant Have
meyer. and Havemeyer has meant
sugar. Generation after generation
the house of Havemeyer has followed
sugar in diplomacy, in politics, In
industry, in commerce, in high finance.
Out of the same blood, and bone.
and brain which created that first re-
f1nery-so little and SO primitive that
it was called a bakery, and its pro-
prietors lodged in rooms above the
place where they worked-came also
the conception Of the American Sugar
Refining Company. That corporation
modified the scattered fragments of
demoralized industry, brought prof
its where bankruptcy had been, and
in twenty years was able to build up a
concern listing s13O.00o,OOO of assets
in its balance sheet.
Beginning with possibly 100000
of actual property and S10,000,000 of
borrowed money. the present corpora
ton and its predecessor, the Sugar
Refineries Company, since 1887 have
earned and paid in dividends just about
$132.000,000.
The sugar trust, about ten years
ago, went into glucose, starch and all
the various products Of corn. ire
mendous consolidation. under the
Corn Products Company, was finally
effected, which almost monopolized
these lines of business. naturally and
closely related to the sugar business.
But there was a hitch in getting con-
troll of one subsidiary company; the
sugar trust discovered that that sub
sidiary was in control of a no less
doughty antagonist than Standard OIL,
and there was a sharp. sensational bat
tie between the house of Havemeyer
and the house of Rockefeller. In the
settlement, when the war was over,
Standard OIL treated sugar as an
equal the Havemeyers were not only
left in undisputed control. but Henry
o. Havemeyer became a director in
the National City Bank. the foremost
engine of Standard Oil finance
Thus the sugar trust, with It's $780,
100000 of assets; the subsidiary beet
sugar concerns 1t controls. with about
SS5,000.000 Of capitalization; the
Corn Products Company, with about
sSOOOO.O0O capital. and all the Stand
ard Oil family ever thrifty, cheerful
and given much to works of education
charity and religion, have been
brought together in a sweet accord

afternoon, Hamilton again broke Cur
tiss' record when he went four miles
in 5:O7, his average rate of speed being

from his last race, Hamilton crashed
into a fence, breaking the horizontal
