Dynamite Wrecks Boat; Girl
Dead, Three Hurt.

Franklin, La, March 26. = Dy-
Mantle exploding from the impact
of a rifle bullet near here this af-
ternoon caused the loss of one life,
the injury of three persons, the
wrecking of a gasoline boat and
damage to property five miles from
the scene Of the explosion.
The dead:
Miss Kate Miller
The injured:
L. G. Lawless. vice president of
the Albert Hanson Company, of
Garden City; badly hurt.
Ellis Hahn, an employee of the
company. right leg mashed.
John Davidson, office employee
of the company, who fired the shot;
slightly hurt.
TRIED TO STOP GUNMAN.
The four persons composed a
party that was aboard the gasoline
boat Lasslot coming through the
Hanson Canal. five miles from
Franklin. At $50 O'Clock this
afternoon, while the craft was a
mile from a lumber camp of the
company. Davidson picked, up
rifle aud ventured the suggestion
that he could bit a box ashore.
The box was lying on the leves
awaiting transportation to the
lumber camp.
Mr.. Lawless endeavored to stop
Davidson, and warned him that
the box contained 100 pounds of
dynamite. Davidson, however,
was evidently under the impress
sion that Lawless was joking him,
for he raised the weapon aud sent
a bullet into the side of the box,
$50 yards from the moving boat.
A terrific explosion vas the an.
swer. The gasoline launch was
lifted out of the water by the con-
cussion aud completely wrecked.
GIRL CAUGHT IN WRECK.
Miss Miller, all employee of the
Hanson Lumber Company, was
caught beneath the debris and per-
ished before the men in the party
could render aid.
Lawless, Davidson and Hahn
struggled in the water and mana
ged to reach shore. They we're
conveyed to their homes for medi-
cal attention. II is not thought
that the injuries will prove fatal
in any case.
The body OF Miss Miller was re-
covered shortly afterward.
Minor damage to property in
franklin, five miles from the scene
of the explosion, was caused, and
several windows in the Catholic
Church were broken. Houses were
shaken as if by an earthquake, and
people were panic-strickeD until
the cause of the explosion was de-
termined.

Or. BertiIlOn Says Figures "SpeII
National AnnihiIation."
Glrmmer Of Hope Seen in Passing of
Law Abolishing Few of Amazing
Formalltles Surrounding Mar
riage in France.

Paris.-Dr. Jacques Bertillon, head
of the statistical department of Paris,
declares that the birth and death
rates for 1910 spell national annihi-
lation" The births were 774,35S and
the deaths 7OS,777, difference of only
70,581.
The number of births is the lowest
for the past century, barring that for
1909, which was 1000 less. In 1859
more than a million children were
born In France. This figure remained
about stationary till 1868. when the
number was over $4,000. The births
exceeded 100000 for Is years, but
fell to $4,000 in 1886. For the fol-
lowing 20 years they exceeded 100000
annually.
During the past four years the fig
ure of births has begun with a seven.
The increase in 1910 over 1909 DR.
Bertillon considers insignificant The
decrease in the death rate also fails
to give him any hope. He points out
that it is solely due to the dwindling
birth rate. The reduction is observ-
able only among children under one
year. The only reason, therefore, why
there are fewer deaths is that fewer
children are born.
Meanwhile, as DR.. Bertillon re-
marks despondently, the excess of
births over deaths in the German en-
pire last year was $4,000, as COM
pared with under 71,0OO in France.
The returns give him only one ray of
hope. A law was passed in 1907 abol-
ishing a few Of the amazing formali-
ties surrounding marriage in France.
It is still difficult to get married in
this country, but it was almost i'm
possible to do so before June, 1907.
Now, for instance, man or woman
more than thirty years Of age may
marry in France without troubling to
obtain his or her parents consent.
Before 1907 such consent, verbal or
written, was needed. If the father
