THIS SEWING MACHINE
 AGENT WAS UkLUCKY

In talking about the possible abolish ment of the grade crossings on the Berkshire division at Tyler City and through the town of Orange. where men have been stationed to take count of the pedestrians and teams going over the tracks, railroad official yes- terday told this story:
 We do this thing right along to ac- quire information about the traffic over these crossings at grade. Where the traffic is heavy it means to us that the crossing is dangerous and that being so, accidents of this or that kind may happen and these acci- dents, as a rule mean lawsuits and expense.
 Some years ago the people in cer- tain town on the Air Line complained that a certain grade crossing was menace to the public welfare. We sent man up to watch that crossing and take toll of the traffic across the tracks. You may not believe this, but it is true. That man was on the job two months and the only person who went over the tracks was a sewing machine agent. One lone traveller in two months and something like five or six trains a day passing that point there was little chance for an accident It seemed to us. and we protested against abolishing that crossing.
 But here is the strange part of it. That sewing machine agent crossed the track twice in two months once going to the north and again on his return trip. He made the return trip two days after our man reported his investigation, and would you believe it, one of the trains hit that lone agent and severely hurt him. Just think, one man crosses the tracks every two months. only five or six trains pass the point in a day and one of those trains had to pick out just the time to reach that crossing that this agent was there with his team. But that does not prove as the townspeople claimed, that the crossing is dangerous

EXPRESS THIEVES
MAKE A RICH HAUL
Pay Car of Pennsylvania Line
Cleverly Looted of Over
$50, 900 in the Oil Regions.

Oil City, Okla, May 21.-Three pack
ages of money, containing $4,000, were
stolen from the Pennsylvania depot
here at $3.50 o'clock this morning,
while John J. TRULY, the station agent,
was loading baggage onto a Buffalo
bound train. The money was being
shipped by the Adams Express COM
pany to Philadelphia.
The railroad detectives Investigating
the robbery are Of the opinion that the
theft was the work Of one man who
knew the money was in the depot and
knew just where it was located.
The Pennsylvania railroad pay car
arrived in Oil City late last night, and
turned over to the day station agent
three packages of money wrapped in
manila paper, containing So, 024, which
were receipted for in the name of the
Adams Express company. The money
was consigned to the ~treasurer's office
of the Pennsylvania railroad in Phila-
delphia.
for storage in the small depot safe,
and TRULY placed them under a sack
behind the ticket counter, covering
them carefully. There was no one in
the depot.
Al $3.50 o'clock this morning Buffalo
bound Pennsylvania train pulled into
the station and TRULY stepped out on
the platform, closing the office door
behind him. The door is self locking.
While about 200 feet from the depot
office TRULY saw by the light of the
station platform lamp that the Office
was not closed. Hurrying back he ran
into his office and discovered that the
three packages of money were missing.

EARTH DIDN'T PLUNGE
THROUGH COMETS TAIL

Princeton, N. j., May 21.-The earth
lid not plunge through the tail Of Hal
ley's comet at the time scheduled by
astronomers, according to Professor
Henry Norris Russell, OF Princeton, and
Zaccheus Daniel, the ~discoverer of
three comets, but was several hours
late in making the journey. This fail
ure of the m to be on time, they
said today, was due to the fact that the
tail had developed q pronounced curve,
and 1T was long after sunup in this Sec
ton of the country, before the passage
of the earth through the comets ap-
pendage.
Professor Russell at 2:45 a. m. no.
ticed a distinct streak of light in the
east that resembled the milky way.
He then came to the conclusion that
comets tail, because the tail was
curved, away from us n that the sun
would be well above the horizon when
the passage was made.
At that time, he said, the head Of the
comet had passed the disc of the sun
and was we'll on the other side of the
sun. Shortly after 3 a. m. the light in
the east disappeared, and Professor
Russell said 1t was possible for the in
habitants of Hawaii and possibly the
astronomers at Lick Observatory, in
California TO detect IN the darkness the
passage Of the earth through the tail.
Professor Russell added that the rea-
son why most astronomers a not
been able to tell that the tail was
curved was because they had been
looking at the tail edgewise.

FIFTY LOSE LIVES
IN Big EXPLOSION
Barracks of Cuban Soldiers Is
a Scene of Death and Desola-
ton From Dynamite.

Havana, May 21.-Until the ruins
have been more thoroughly examined
it will not be known positively how
many lives were lost when the Rural
Guards barracks in the city Of Pinar
Del Rio was demolished by an ex-
plosion Of dynamite late yesterday.
There is reason, however, for the hope
hat the fatalities did not exceed so.
The wounded will number about 100.
1t is believed. 1t is almost certain that
the explosion resulted from the acct
dental fall Of a case of dynamite from
the hands Of an employee of the pub
lie works department.
Many injured are believed to be still
pinned under the debris. Work Of eX-
Treating the victims was continued
throughout the night by ~torchlight.
Among the bodies recovered were those
of Captain Alfredo Ravena, of the
rural guards, his wife and three chill
dren. With the exception Of a daugh-
ter, Graciella, the whole family per-
ished with the destruction of their
home.
The body of Captain Dihiogo, of the
rural guards, and those of a score of
privates also have been recovered.
Many of the wounded have been res
cued from the ruins. Andrea, the
daughter of Egomis, the Spanish con-
sui at Pinar Del Rio, could not be
found today and 1t is believed she was
killed. Senior Leagre, engineer of the
province, also is thought to be among
the dead.
Ire quantity Of dynamite exploded
was nearly three tons The buildings
destroyed were massive structures. The
government wireless station was shak-
en- to bits. The explosion caused great
terror among the inhabitants, many Of
whom thought the disaster was caused
by the approach of Halley's comet and
that it was a precursor of a still greater
catastrophe.
This morning % bodies have been re-
covered and 40 injured persons have
been taken to the hospitals.

NEGRO PUG SWAGCERS
WITH white WOMEN
Jack Johnson Makes Himself
Very Offensive to San Fran
cisco People.

San Francisco, May 21.-Jack John.
son, cOlOred heavyweight champion,
who seems to have a genius for maxi
ing himself offensive in public, gave
good exhibition of this faculty when
he came down Market street in Rick
ards big auto, seated in the tOnneau
between his white wife and Mrs. Little,
wife Of his manager.
Resplendent in giad rags, silk hat
and sparkling diamonds, Johnson got
out of the auto at each of the big
saloons on Market street and swag-
gered into the booze parlOrs, leaving
these women in the aItO where they
were surrounded by gaping crowds of
boys and street ~loafers. When he
would come out, this big negro, with
his Senegambian face and gorilla smile,
would enter the auto and seat him
self between the two wOnen and the
same performance would be repeated
at the next saloon.
One southern man could scarcely
contain himself and remarked: We'll,
that big niger would last about one
block in any city in the south, and
those two white women would be run
out of town"

capital.
At Victoria station the emperor was

The greeting of the monarchs was
most affectionate. From his cousin the
emperor turned to the young Duke of
Cornwall and kissed hin on both
cheeks.
AS the emperor and King George
drove to buckingham palace great
crowds in the street exhibited a lively
interest in the German ruler. The men
raised their hats and the women waved
their handkerchiefs as the royal car
riage passed. Arriving at h palace,
the emperor was taken at once to the
apartments of Queen Mother Alexan-
dra.

BIG CRAFT IS BEHIND
JINGO HOWL FOR WAR
Nichalos Murray Butler Makes
Strong Speech at Lake
Mohonk Conference.

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 20.-The
10th annual meeting Of the Lake Mo-
honK conference on international, arbi-
tration began its three-day session
here today Diplomats, educators,
~jurists and clergymen from many parts
OF the world received the welcome OF
Albert X. Smiley, the founder and host
of the organization.
DR.. Smiley was followed by Nicholas
Murray Butler, president Of Columbia
university, and president Of the Amer
lean Association for International ON
Citation, and presiding officer of this
conference. DR.. Smiley declared that
the greatest step in the direction of
international arbitration was soon to
be taken in the establishment of an
international court at The Hague.
The striking feature of President
Buffers address was his assertion that
somebody makes something by reason
Of the huge expenditures in
ton for war;" and his suggestion that
the same sort of ability that has ex-
posed other forms of political chicanery
and graft should investigate the sim
certify and disinterestedness OF the
lively types OF patriotism which ac-
complished these military and naval
debates the world over"
Mr.. Butler continued:
Have you ever noticed that about
the time that the appropriations for
military purposes are under considera-
ton In congress, in the house OF COM
mons. in the chamber of deputies, or i'm
the ~reichstag, or just before such a
time. hostilities are always on the point
OF breaking out in two. or three parts
OF the world at once?
Just at these times war prophets
begin TO see visions and to dream
dreams, and the poor, gullible people
rush off to their cyclone cellars and
shout timorously to their representa-
tives TO vote at once and as much as
possible in order that great ships and
'orts may be built to protect them from
| heir fears"
