Fire on French Vessel Reaches
Ammunition Hold and Ter
4. rifle Explosions Follow.
MANY RESCUED FROM WRECK
Nearly One Hundred Injured Members
of the Crew Taken From the
Sunken Craft.

Toulon, France, Sept. 26.-Between
$50 and 400 officers and men were
killed and the French battleship Lii
berte was totally destroyed when the
magazines of the vessel exploded.
The battleship Republique was dam
aged badly. and the battleships Demo-
cratic and Vertie also suffered severe
ly from the masses of twisted iron and
armor plate hurled upon their decks.
The explosion was preceded by and
was the result of an outbreak of fire.
The flames reached the magazines be-
fore there was time to flood them.
A number of men already have been
extricated alive from the wreckage,
and hope is strong there are others
within the broken hulk who can be
reached.
Exactly from what cause or when
the fire broke out has not been discov-
cred, but it is believed it had smol-
dered for hours. The position Of the
fire made it impossible to flood the
magazines; nevertheless efforts to do
so were made and finally the com
handing officer, realizing that the ship
was doomed, ordered the bugler to
sound the "sauve que peut" (let him
save himself who cam, and shouted
to the men to jump for their lives.
Many Rescued From Wreck.
The work of rescue was quickly be-
gun. The ambulance station was in
stalled in the arsenal, and Admiral
Marin-Darhel, maritime project, went
out to the wreck and superintendent
the work of extricating those impris-
oned. The first body recovered was
that of an officer, which was hauled
from under an awning with a boat
hook. Forty bodies have been taken
out, and ninety-four injured have been
transferred to the hospital.
Electric shears, to cut through the
plates of the Liberte, and a powerful
floating crane, to lift the masses Of
steel, were used in conjunction with a
crew of divers who are at work ex-
ploring the interior of the hull.
The Liberte appeared as if her bows
had doubled over on the stern. Men
buried in that part of the wreckage
above the water could be heard groan-
ing and screaming for help, which
often the rescuers were unable to
give.
Officer Tells Story.
One of the survivors, a warrant Off
Ger, said:
The fire broke out in the general
store, among cans of oil, turpentine
and paint and other inflammables. In
spite of every effort the flames reached
the coal bunkers, and after that it was
difficult to prevent them gaining the
powder magazine.
After the explosion an enormous
fragment detached from the bows of
the Liberte and other pieces of iron
fell on the Republique, smashing the
bridge and %plunging between the
decks The bugler of the Liberte was
hurled through the air from the i'll
fated ship to the deck of the Repub-
lique, where he was picked up badly
hurt. In his hands he still held the
bugle with which he was sounding the
alarm"
1t now is considered almost estab-
lished that the disaster was due to the
defagration of e" powder, as in the
case of the lena

Entries for the tri-city track meet
have been closed with Mr.. Fairchild Of
Moline Monday evening, and from the
number of entries a good meet is prom
ised. The meet is for a loving cup,
which is held from year to year by the
winning school. provided that if any
school captures it three times straight
it shall become the property of that
school without further contest. The
Davenport boys won in the last two
years, and should they do so this time
the cup would be theirs to keep. The
dope of the meet seems to be in favor
of their doing so, but developments the
last few evenings make it look far
from certain.

THE Quincy attitude, therefore,
is of injury to the friends who have

With the national commission unal-

southern clubs are powerless. Hofer

INJUNCTION NO
BAR TO SOUTH?
Talking Now of Four Club Cir
cult Like That the North
Has Organized.
WOULD LEAVE QUINCY OUT
Inconsistency OF Position Again
Shown-Chicago Press Oonfin-
ues Its Censorship"

And now the four southern clubs
are talking Of playing with a four
club league till the Quincy injunc-
ton is dissolved" AT least the
Bloomington correspondent says so,
and the northern division magnates
would not be at all surprised if they
should. for such a course is perfectly
consistent with the shifty dealings of
the south all along.
The question Will at once occur, if
the southern clubs can play as a four
club circuit why can't they play with
eight clubs? II they can arrange it
so that the Quincy injunction, which
expressly prohibits baseball of any
sort by the four southern clubs which
does not include the Key city, will not
affect them why can't they just as cas-
lily arrange TO get IT out of the way so
that the Three-Eye can play with the
old circuit?
The Springfield and Bloomington
strategists persist in making a holy
show of themselves at every oppor-
tunity
HOW DO THEY KNOW.
And why do Kinsella and Tearney
know so positively that the injunction
will be made permanent when final
hearing is had on it May IL? Both
have repeatedly said so and Kinsella
again made the statement over the
phone yesterday And yet they pre-
tend they will fight the case.
Rock Island, representing the four
northern clubs, withdrew it's appear
ance in connection with the injunc-
ton, preferring to let the leaders of
the lost cause dig their own graves.
It is up to them now.
NO FAIRNESS HERE.
Whatever settlement is made of the
Three-Eye trouble il will not be eff
fected with the aid of the Chicago
press. 1t was once more made
apparent in this mornings is
sues. President Maynard of Water
loo was in Chicago yesterday and saw
Ban Johnson and Tearney, notifying
them Of the action the four northern
clubs had taken. After he had de-
parted Tearney filed up the reporters
metaphortcally. and very evidently,
otherwise, and the result was a good
deal OF valuable space devoted this
morning to ridiculing Mr.. Maynard
and his associates in this end Of the
circuit. The newspapers that treated
the six-club league the south tried
to form with respectful seriousness
slam the northern circuit right and
left, declaring it was conceived at
rump session and intimating that il
violates the Quincy writ
Ban Johnson is quoted as saying
last night: 'All this will gradually
work itself around to the proper thing
l can't say a word about how the ma
tional commission will act in any par
ticular."
Il am UP in the air" Tearney told
a reporter. 81 have not had a chance
to consult any OF the southern clubs
since this Davenport meeting that
adopted this four club proposition. II
don't know for sure whether the
northern clubs will start on Thursday,
although l have Mr.. Maynard's word
for it. If they do / don't know what
will happen. I am just as much up in
the air as a person on the extreme
outside. What will become of the
Three-Eye league? Don't ask me; ask
George"
Another evidence Of the strict
