Eleven We're Killed By Ex- p|OSiOn At Fortress Monroe BREECH BLOCK BLOWN OUT
The Heroism of Stunned and Wounded Officers and Men Prevented a Second and Much Greater Catastrophe.

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, July 21 Eleven men of the artillery service are dead tonight as the result of the blowing out of the breech block in one of the big guns while the men of the fort were engaged in target practice this morning. Half d dozen others are in the post hospital and one may die.
 The cause of the explosion has not been definitely determined, although a board of inquiry was appointed imme- diately after the disaster by order of the war department.
 The death roll would have been greater, it is thought. but for the hero ism of the officers and men of the battery. The wounded forgot their hurts and aided the unnjured in stamping out the burning powder that threatened the charge for a second shot.
 The explosion occurred in the bat tery of De Russy, No 1 gun doing the damage. Lieutenant Hawes had gone forward from the breech to examine the range wheel when the charge exploded. He was thrown down and momentarily stunned.
 Eight were killed outright and their bodies were scattered around the em placement Captain Prenticcs and Hawes foresaw that great loss of life would occur if the other charge caught from the smoldering sparks and they sent out a call for surgeons while they attacked the flames with their bare hands. Prentice reached the emplaccment first, pushing through the smoke and sparks and carrying out the powder bag. Then he was joined by Hawes and the two completed the task, thus averting fur ther explosion.
 The identified dead are: Sergeant Harry Hess. gun commander; Corpor- al Bradford. gun pointer; Privates A. c. Sullivan. Duffy. King and Akins.
 The dead artillerymen were at tached to the Sixty-ninth company.
 Onep rivate. was blown into Chesa- peake bay with the breech block.
 The bodies of the artillerymen killed were terribly mangled The disaster was witnessed by number of promi- nent officers of the army and navy. who were here to see the battle prac- tice The wives and children of sev- eral of the killed were present ana saw them meet a terrible death.
 Meanwhile Lieutenant Van Deusen lay beneath the gun. his leg broken in two places He was in great agony. but when his brother officers sought to remove him he would not permit them to touch him. See to the men first" he said. and. propped against the gun carriage. aided in di- recting the work. Sergeant Hum phries and Sergeant Brinkley, gun pointer. also distinguished themselves. Both were wounded, but rushed to the aid Of their comrades.
 The accident occurred while at prac- tice at floating targets of about the proportions of battleships, was going on The firing was conducted as nearly as possible under battle condi- tions and on more pretentious scale than was ever before attempted.

Paris Police Think He Was
 in South Western France PROBABLY STILL THERE
They Have Information That Murderer of Belle Elmore Did Not Cross the Spanish Frontier, as Was at First Supposed.

Paris, July 21-The police of Yer net les Bains, d little French water ing place at the foot of the Pyrennes mountains, are positive that pr. Haw- ley II. rippen, who is widely sought for the murder of Belle Elmore in London, was in their city last Sun day and d vigorous search is being made for the fugitive. The procureur here telegraphed the director of suritie gencrale at Paris confirming the identity of the man who arrived there under the name of Tarbot on Sunday as Crippen. The procureur added that he believed Crippen crossed into Spain.
 The French detective department in Paris is inclined to accept this view as to the identity of Crippen, but is in doubt as to whether he crossed the frontier, as the information in posses sion of the police indicates that he left the train before it reached Mont Louis, to which point he is said to have taken passage en route to Spain.
 The authorities believe that. instead of making for Spain, he headed for Andorra, a little, almost forgotten re- public Of 5000 shepherd inhabitants, nestling in the foothills of the Pyren- nees.
 M. Sebille, head of the search de- partment of the police, opposes the theory that the woman who suicided at Bourges on July Is is Miss Le- neve. He points out that the letter she left was in French, a language Miss Lcneve did not understand. Fur thermore, her features were of the SlavOnic type. Photographs of the suicide have not yet been compared with those of Miss Leneve. One the ory of the police is that the couple went to Marscilles and there separ- atCd.

WHETHER BY SUICIDE
 MURDER OR ACCIDENT PRESIDENT OF THE MONON DIED
 JUST IN TIME. On the Eve of the Greatest Scandal in
 Railroad History.

Chicago. July 2t.-Whether Ira G. Rawn, president of the Monon, was killed by a burglar or whether, as stated by the chief of police, he com mitted suicide, railroad men declare his death occurred on the eve Of what may be the greatest scandal in rail- road history.
 The questions asked Rawn at the hearing on July in the Illinois Cen tral car repair ease all were intended, it is said by attorneys, with intent to incriminate Rawn as responsible for the losses of the road. Rawn. it is de- clared, knew the purpose of coun- sel for the road and had employed le- gal means to delay the progress of the examination.
 His death will not cause halt in the inquiry. it is stated by Walter l.. Fisher, one of the attorneys in charge of the inquiry. Tt is d civil inquiry to determine the amount of money in- volved." he said "The questions asked Rawn at the prior sessions were to lay the foundation for facts ultimately to be brought out"
 For the first time since his death, the air of secrecy was lifted from the Rawn home and newspaper men were summoned. The announcement was made that a second bullet was found in the ashes of d fire place. A rcpresen- tative of private detective agency re pulsed yesterday. was asked to aid ip the investigation.
 The detectives engaged by Rawn's relatives advance the theory of acci- dent and admit that in fact but one shot was fired, and that from the re- revolver held by Rawn. An officer of the agency, he said, probably heard a noise went down, stumbled and his re- volVer was discharged

ELEVATION OF INDIANS BY THE HUNGER PROCESS THEIR NATIONS ARE TO BE
 REDUCED. To the End That They May Learn to
 Be Independent.

Washington, July 21.-To raise the Indian to the plane of independence occupied by other races, the bureau of Indian affairs will materially decrease the rations distributed this year.
 Officials engaged in apportioning In dian appropriations for the current year will reduce the number of In- dians receiving gratuities from the government from 10 to 15 per cent. This year the rations are expected to be confined largely to aged and indi- gent Indians.

The vote in the five districts that have reported is about seventeen to --a-e in favor the plan. Someone last night estimated from the vote cast in the districts reported. that the total vote would be approximately 35,000 in favor and 5000 against, or seven to one in favor. but unless there was a much stronger opposition in the extreme eastern or the extreme western end of the valley than there was in the dis tricts reporting, the above estimate is Wildly conservative"
 The unanimity of sentiment is best shown by the mo" vote as regarded from the standpoint of the number of individual voters. In the sixth, or Phoenix, district. 103 votes were cast of which only four were against the is sue It is likely that in the tenth dis trict the 160 votes were cast by some one person having a quarter section. while in the fourth and fifth the vote may not represent more than half dozen individuals in each district.
 Undoubtedly the full returns will be received today. The west end, dis tricts 1, ?, and 9, would have been heard from last night, but the tele- phone service was not in working con dition. ,wI
