REPETITION OF EXPLOSION
UNLIKELY IN NAVY HERE
Such Disaster as Occurred in
France Impossible on
American Warships.

Such a disaster as occurred on the bat
tleship Iiberte last Monday would be i'm
possible in the American navy, in the
opinion of ordnance officers, assuming
that the French Vice Admiral Bellue was
right in his declaration that it was due
to the decomposition of the powder in the
Liberties magazines. American naval
ordnance experts have been trying for
years to make American smokeless pow
der ignite spontaneously without success.
Commenting upon the order issued by
the French admiralty for the removal
from the Mediterranean fleet of all
smokeless powder made prior to 1902, it
was said at the Navy Department here
that there was a good deal of powder
than nine years old, yet the department
was satisfied of its perfect safety.
Powder Under Inspection.
Every bit of powder in the navy is
under almost constant inspection. When
a lot of powder is made it is given an
index number, and the department
knows where every grain of it goes.
Samples OF that index are kept at the In
dian Head powder factory and also at
| the magazines from which powder is is
sued to the ships. When harmful changes
are noted in powder the order goes out
| instantly to every ship and magazine for
the return of all of that index number to
| Indian Head, where ii is gound up and
worked over into new stock.
| So the Navy Department officials feel
that the American bluejacket can rest
assured that, at least so far as sponta-
neouS combustion is concerned he is in
no danger of being blown up by his own
! powder.

suppression is contrary to law. In other
words, business must face the necessity
of throwing away the crutch OF comblla-
ton against competition in its further
progress When this rule is recognized
when the corporations that have offended
the law are disintegrated sufficiently to
enable competition to have full play. then
there is no reason why business shouiu
not go on unhampered.

Rev. John E. Ewell. for several years

services Sunday next in Ascension
Church.
Serves First in Philadelphia.
The new associate rector is graduate
of Johns Hopkins University, as well as

Will Prosecute Trusts.

There is no consolation in the address,
the most important of any delivered on
this trip, to those who had hoped the
President would indicate in some way
that there would be a cessation in the
prosecution of trusts.
It's the sworn duty of the executive,
he said, Ito enforce the law. AS long as
combinations in violation of the law exist
and are known to exist to the law officers
of the government in any way they would
be lacking in their duty if they did not
prosecute them.
They are under my orders to treat the
prosecution of trusts like the bringing of
any other suits which are within the
scope and duty of the Department of
Justice, and / must define to admit that
there is any discretion which would en-
able the Attorney General and his assist
ants to stay the hand of the government
l do not think it need be long continued,
because l believe that the business COM
munity itself is rapidly taking in the eff
feet of the decisions of the Supreme
Court. and we may expect a revolution
of feeling on the attitude of business men
toward this step
At the same time the President made
an earnest appeal for reasonable consid-

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW
Discusses Relations of the Govern
ment to Business.
WOULD RESTORE CONFIDENCE
Gives His Views on Regulation of
Railroads, Trusts, the Tariff
and Currency.

WATERLOO, Iowa. September 20
President Taft demanded in an address
here yesterday afternoon on the relation
of the government to business that there
be a cessation of that hostility directed
i'm reality against the prosperity of the
country which acts on the theory tina,
no one can be prosperous without being
dishonest or a violator of the law
Declaring that no one was more heart
lily in favor of freeing business from
abuses than himself, he made his appeal
here, in state where the legislative
action against railroads and other corpo-
rations has been as severe as in any
other, for that reasonable, moderate ac-
ton which would encourage the invest
ment of capital and in that way promote
prosperity.
He was particularly vigorous in his de-
nunciation of the men who have tried
and who have to some extent succeeded in
arrayng one section of the country
against another, and who have been re-
sponsible for that hostility toward cap
ital which has been reflected by the laws
on the statute books of many states.
why should We" he demanded, ALLOW
the political fortunes of any man or set
of men to mislead us into hostility to-
ward parts of the country which is GER
tain to work injury to all?

KEEP TAB ON CASTRO
Uncle Sans Government VIII Not Be
Caught Mapping.

Washington, D. c., June 3.-Gener-
al Cipriano Castro OF Venezuela has
been located at Lisbon by the State
Department. He has been there
since May Is, having reached Portu.
gal from a Spanish port presumably
Bilboa.
Upon learning his whereabouts def
nltely the State Department cabled
the American Charge d'Affaires to ac.
quaint the Portuguese government
with the fact that the United States
had not changed its view respecting
General Castro, and that he should
not be permitted TO organize a flibus-
tering expedition directed against the
present government of Venezuela. 1t
is presumed that the Portuguese
government will see that the NEUTRAL.
ty laws are strictly enforced.
This is believed to be General Cas-
tro's second attempt against the
Gomez government in Venezuela.
Some time ago he reached Guada-
loupe, having previously assembled
some of his adherents on the Ven
ezuelan frontier and on neighboring
islands in the Caribbean The State
Department reported the facts to
the French government and General
4 Castro was not allowed TO proceed
in the direction of Venezuela but
was placed aboard a steamship and
returned to Europe.

NEGROES LYNCH A NEGRO
But They Were Applauded and En-
couraged by White Neighbors.

Jackson, Miss, June 3.-With
white men applauding their efforts,
a mob composed entirely of negroes
lynched Alfred Johnson near Shelby,
Miss, for killing Hamp Moore, an
aged negro. The killing, is it said,
followed an argument in which the
old negro reprimanded the younger
for denouncing slave owners.
Johnson was locked in Jail when
the negroes stormed the place and
overwhelmed the Jail officials.
The white people, who are greatly
outnumbered by the negroes in the
Shelby neighborhood, joined in as
spectators only, but encouraged the
blacks.

BRYAN's STATEMENT
Says Democrats in Congress are Re
sponsibe to Country

st. Paul, Mimi, June 3-When
shown a report of the action of the
Democratic caucus on the wool sohe-
dule, William j. Bryan gave out the
following:
THE Democrats in congress are re-
sponsible to the country and to
their constituents and it remains to
be seen whether their action will be
indorsed. The report which l have
seen shows that the matter was fought
upon a false basis and shall be mis-
taken if the public is deceived by the
pretense that it was levied for rev.
enue.
The amount raised by tax on
wool could be raised by a tax on raw
silk or raw rubber with much more
Justice. l mention these two ways
of making up the amount There are
many other ways. The tax on wool
would never be thought of but for
the protective benefit 1t is supposed
to bring to wool-growers. | think the
party would have done better if it
had honestly stated its reasons, and
declared itself in favor of protection
to that extent
However, in expressing my opin-
ion, am only speaking for myself,
and the caucus may find the public
more gullible than l think l.. The
declaration that this is not a surren-
der of the free wool doctrine is add
ing insult to injury, and l was sur
prised that any advocates of free
wool accepted it as a reason for in
! dorsing the committee bill"

RAISING OF THE MAINE
Pumps viii Work Slowly Cleaning
Water from cofferdam.

Water from cofferdam.
Washington, June 3.-Army engi-
neer officers here estimate that it
will be at least two months after
work begins on pumping out the wa
ter in the cofferdam about the battle
ship Maine, in Havana Harbor, before
an expert opinion can be formed as
to whether it was an inside or out
side explosion that sank the vessel.
The tourists who go to Havana think
ing TO see the Maine entirely expos
ed within twenty-four hours will be
badly disappointed Just at present
the War Department officials are
planning to Withstand the charge Of
the multitudes who wish to examine
the progress OF the work as carefully
as the army and navy experts. Civil
lians probably will not be allowed
aboard while the work is progressing.
Assuming that the pumping out be-
gins on June IS, as scheduled, the
first stage of the unwatering process
will only lower the water enough to
expose the top deck. This probably
will loom up as a bank of mud as the
water in the harbor is very muddy
and the vessel has been collecting"
deposits for thirteen years. When
the upper deck is out of the water,
the work of clearing away the mud
and examining the deck will keep the
officers busy at least three or four
days The examination of the deck
viii of course be made with the great
est care. In making an inventory Of
what is found the officers must be in
position to swear that they were
actually there when the mud was
cleared away For this reason, if for
no other, it will be necessary to ex.
clude outsiders
When the work on the upper deck

pumping and more mud until the

DRAWS FOUR SALARIES
Alfred Brooks Fry Gets Three From

Uncle Sam and One from New York
Washington, June 3.-There is one
employee Of the Treasury Department
drawing four salaries, three from the
Federal government and one from
the state OF New York, according TO
the testimony of j. Knox Taylor, SUI
pervislng architect Of the treasury be
fore the House committee on expen-

Thursday The four salaried person
is Alfred Brooks Fry superintendent
of repairs to Federal buildings in
New York City, who draws $1400 a
year for that job and $140O on the
pay roll Of the chief clerk Of the trea-
sury.
In addition he is consulting engin-
eer at Ellis Island for the department
OF commerce and labor and an EN-.
ployee of the New York Canal Com.
mission. Mr.. Taylor did not know
how much the Ellis Island and Canal
Commission jobs paid. The commit
tee is encouraged by what has been
developed so far TO believe that its
investigation of the treasury will dc
a great deal of good in Strengthening
out kinks in the service and correct
ing evils which the members say very
evidently exist.
