SOLDIERS KILLED
IN SPARTA BLAST
CORPORAL BEVERLY AND PRl-
VATE GAU, CLEVELAND,
LOSE THEIR LIVES.
FOUR OTHERS ARE HURT
Were Preparing to Go Home After
Tenth Day of Target Practice at
Sparta Range-A Shell Premature
Iy Went OFF.

Sparta.-Two members of the Ohio
National guard were instantly killed
when large shell exploded in can
non at the United States army range,
near here. Four others we're in
Jured, two so seriously that they were
sent to the National Soldiers home
at Milwaukee for treatment.
The dead are:
Corporal Roland Beverly, Cleve-
land. battery A, Fifth Ohio artillery.
Private Howard w. eau, Cleve-
land. same battalion.
All of the injured men were from
the Cleveland battery.
The accident was caused by the
premature explosion of defective
she'll In the mouth of a three inch
gun which was being used in the tar
get practice work. The force of the
explosion was so great that the men
killed were blown fifty feet away
from the caisson, which was demol-
ished. Flying fragments of the
bursted gun were sent in all direc-
tons, and the report was distinctly
heard for great distance.
The Ohio companies had been on
the range for ten days, and after
making a high average were prepar-
Ing to go to their homes. The shell
which exploded was to have been
the last fired. Military discipline
prevented any excitement being dis
played, and strict orders were given
which prevented a repetition of the
accident.
Two of the injured soldiers are at
the Milwaukee hospital. They are:
Earl B. Snider, 81 years old, Ak
ron, o.; suffered severe confusion
OF the right leg; if he stands the
shock he will recover.
John S. CutcEeon, 20 years old,
Newark. o.. sustained fracture of
the lower leg.

BEGINS PROBE OF
STEPHENSON CASE
SENATORIAL COMMITTEE OPENS
INVESTIGATION OF WISDOM
SIN SOLON'S ELECTION.
DEFENDANT FIRST WITNESS
Scope of the investigation May Be
Broadened to include Primary Elec-
ton Campaign-Two Numbers Of
Committee Are Absent.

Milwaukee.-The senatorial COM
mittee. consisting Of Senators w. B.
Hepburn of Idaho, George Suther-
land of Utah and Atlee Pomerene of
Ohio. appointed to investigate the
election OF Isaac Stephenson, has be-
gun its work here. There are two
other members of the committee,
Senator's w. o. Bradley and T. H.
Paynter of Kentucky, but neither
were at the opening sessions. Sena-
tor Paynter will be here later, but
Senator Bradley will not be able to
meet with the committee on account
of illness.
Senator Stephenson was the first
witness called before the committee.
He admitted the expenditure of
$107,T83 in the primary campaign
preceding his nomination for United
States senator, but denied that he
paid any one or authorized the pay
ment to any member of the legisll-
ture to remain away from the ses-
sion when he was finally elected SEN
ator.
1t was said that the scope Of the
Investigation would probably not be
developed until questions had been
raised regarding testimony, when the
members would retire and discuss the
adyisability of going into the line
proposed. If this is carried out, it
will not be known whether or not
the committee will confine the in
vestigation strictly to the election of
Senator Stephenson or broaden it to
take up primary campaign matters
until the subject is brought before
the members for their decision.
Whether or not the attorneys for
Senator Stephenson will challenge
the right of the committee to inves-
tigate the senator's election on the
ground that he was elected when the
two houses of the legislature Of 1909
voted separately, can not be learned.
1t Is probable, however, whether this
Is done or not, that the fact that he
received the votes of a majority of
the members of the assembly and
senate who voted for candidates "by
name" will be called to the attention
of the committee in formal man
ner as basis for any future action
which it may be desired to take.

BILLBOARD CAUSED TRAGEDY
Report Of Investigators Into keenah
Crossing Accident Says View of
Track Was Obstructed.

Madison.-H. H. Hovey who in
vestigated the grade crossing wreck
at Neenah, Wis, recently, where thir-
teen persons lost their lives and nine
were injured, one of whom died lat
err, has made his official report to the
state railway commission. He rec
ommends the removal Of the bill
board at the crossing, the erection OF
proper signals to warn persons cross
Ing the tracks, and the elimination Of
grade crossings in the city of Nee
nah. After giving the details OF the
accident and describing the surround
ings, he says in his report:
"It appears that the accident was
due to the following reasons:
"First-The presence of the sign
board which prevented the train be-
ing seen, until the team had reached
q point within few feet Of the
crossing.
"Second-The failure of the driv-
er to properly Judge the location and
speed of the approaching train.
II would make the following rec
ommenda IONS:
THAT steps be taken to have the
sign boad removed and an automatic
alarm. with an illuminated sign. be
installed to protect the public at the
crossing at night.
ut Is further recommended that
the plans of the road as TO double
tracking, through the city Of Nee
nah, be ascertained, with view OF
having this crossing, as we'll as other
grade crossings in the city, elimin-
ated."
The report also reviews the testi-
mony of Engineer SpoOner, who said
that the speed of the train was be-
tween fifty and ffty-five miles an
hour; that the whistle was sounded
within 200 feet Of the crossing, and
that he saw the hayrack on the tracks
soon after. The statements Of the
driver of the team in which he says
that he did not see or hear the train
till after passing the sign, and that
he thought there was time enough
for him to Cross, are also given.
Peter Hansen. at whose house the
party had been held" says the re-
port. told me that the members of
the party had considerable amount
of beer and had INDUCED freely; also
that there was considerable singing
and talking in the party.
This without doubt accounts for
the drivers failure to hear the
