The Explosion
Took BattIeaxe
by Much Surprise

Some friends OF Battleaxe gave that
robust farmerstatesman-poIitician a
loaded cigar last night He was peace
fully putting away at the delightful
Havana allowing the ringlets Of
smoke TO punctuate his conversation
when suddenly the smoke stick blew
up causing smoke and confusion pre-
ceeded by sound that resembled a
keen clap Of thunder
Not knowing what had happened
and remembering the story, OF the Nc
Namara's and the Times he exclaim-
ed: my God, Ny political enemies
have blown up the Journal" With this
exclamation he beat II" down Chick
asha avenue for half block then
turned north and disappeared
The foregoing is mixed with fiction
but an eye witness to the affair tells
this story.
1T was a iltIe unkind to treat an
old friend and a stateman in any such
manner but It happened. Practical
jokers initiated "Battelaxe" Glover
as cub newspaper editor last night
Mr. Glover was in town and visited
with his old friend J. s. Jones Of the
Midway hotel He was telling Of his
future work A circle Of frineds had
gathered around him. The cigars
we're passed. Battle axe received a ci-
gar that had been charged with ex-
plosiyes His hat was blown off, his
fingers burned and his Sunday school
VOWS broken during the smoke"

Commander William S. Sims. L. S. NJ,
commanding officer of the battle ship
Minnesota of the Atlantic fleet, and for
merly naval aid to President Roosevelt.
will be reprimanded publicly for his al
legged indiscreet last drop of blood"
speech" made at Guildhall, in London, on
December last. when the officers and
men OF the fleet were entertained by the
lord mayer of London. President Taft's
decision was announced at the White
House yesterday after the Cabinet meet
ing, when the text of letter written by
Mr.. Taft to Secretary of the Navy Meyer
was made public. directing that Mr..
Meyer reprimand Commander Sims. The
statement for which Commander Sims
was disciplined was as follows:
II am sure that if the time should ever
come when tho British empire was Seri-
ously menaced by an external enemy, its
people might count upon every man.
every dollar every ship, and every drop
Of blood of their kindred across the
ocean"
This statement was telegraphed to Ger
man newspapers. and. together with the
failure of the feet to visit Germany, was
made the basis for a wave of comment
IN the German press that was Unfriendly
TO the United States. Secretary Meyer
asked Commander Sims Tor an expi2nd-
ton of the authenticity of the statement.
He replied that the remarks attributed
to him by the newspapers were correct.
He said. however, that his remarks were
made on the spur of the moment and
without preparation, and explained that
h" was stating only his personal opinion.
" nile his explanation was frank and
comprehensive, Secretary Meyer felt that
mild disciplinary action was necessary
because of the wide publicity given to
Commander Sims remarks
