MILITIA HEAD ISSUES
e., NEW WAR MEASURE"
Lawrence, Mass, Feb. IL
Col. Leroy Sweetzer this after
noon took the most eXtraordi-
nary war measure" he has taken
since he was put in command of
the militia sent TO handle" the
Lawrence strikers. 80
He sent a message to the head
quarters of the Industrial Work
erS of the World forbidding that
organization to send any more
children from here until they
have satisfied him the parents
have voluntarily given their per-
mission"
The letter made it plain that
Sweetzer would use the militia.
to prevent the exodus of any
more children, without his spe-
cial consent. ..
Many children of strikers al
ready have been taken from
here to New York and other parts
of the country, there to remain
with families able to care for
them until the strike is over.
Forty ''children of the strike"
were taken to Barra, VT, and 10
to New York, where homes await
them, today.

BIRTH REGISTER IN SALT

sions. AS the registration of births,
more than seventy years ago, was not
carried out as now. there has been
difficulty in many cases in proving
the age OF the applicants, and in one
instance at least a certificate Of an ex-
ceedingly novel character was present
ed. At any rate, the local pension Of
licer said he had never come across
one like 1t, and he was quite prepared
to take it as proof Of the age CT the
applicant. When a child was born in
this particular family clear glass
bottle was procured and partly filled
with salt; then the letters and figures
forming the names Of the child and
date Of birth were cut out Of a news
paper and placed inside the bottle, be.
ing put in their correct position with
piece of wire, and then more salt
was carefully added to keep them in
place. Sprays of flowers and other or
namental designs, cut from cretonne,
were also tastefully arranged around
the inside OF the bottle, and then the
whole was tightly packed with salt,
and corked and sealed. 1t was then
placed in prominent position on the
dresser or in corner cupboard, where
1t has been for more than seventy
years. The white salt shows up the let
ters and ornaments in relief, and the
whole effect Is novel and pleasing.

EXPLOSION LAID TO BAO WATER

SN SOVuON SIhD ~ WV uUuSSu
The coroner's jury reached the
conclusion yesterday afternoon
about a o'clock that the wreck of
engine No. 49 was caused by Using
water from the Trego tank, which,
the jury decided, was unsafe to
use in locomotive boilers. The
deduction was arrived at from the
testimony Of witnesses in subtances
as follows:
That on account of the borax
contained in the water at Trego
tank it foams when run into the
boilers SO that it is impossible to
tell how much water is in the
uoilers. The water foams up
and runs out through the stop
Cocks, gets into the valves and
spurts over other parts of the
engine, which sometimes renders
the engine incapable of drawing
its load. A compound is always
used when water is taken from the
Trego tank. Enginemen all know
of the trouble it causes and never
take any more than they feel COM
PEELED to take to run them to the
next tank.
The testimony of w. W. Richard
son, the man who installed the
steam heating apparatus in the
Nixon Opera House, is especially
interesting. He testified that he
had examined the wrecked parts,
which are piled On three fit cars
between the depot and roundhouse
and he believed the explosion had
been caused by the water being too
low in the boiler when cold water
wah turned in, causing super
heated steam. He said the crown
sheets were blue, being colored so
much that he at first thought the
wreck had been afire.
He called attention to the fact
that the explosion was practically
confined to the firebox and that the
boiler was comparatively intact.
He said if there had been a soft
plug in the crown sheet the plug
would have melted before the
explosion and the men would have
had ample warning to escape
Since the oil buom at Sulpur
collapsed the water tank there has
been in disuse. No complaints
were made about that water aid
1t is possible that the railway COM
pany will find it necessary to again
make Sulphur a water station. 1t
is generally presumed that the
abandoning Of the water taken at
Sulphur was caused by the con-
tention between oil locators and
the railway company the land for
miles around Sulphur having been
located as oil and about two years
ago.
AL, the testimony relating to the
condition of the engine was to the
effect that it was in good condition
when it left the shop nm the 18th
of April.
The parts of the wrecked engine
are being loaded today for ship
ment to the railroad shops at
Oakland, where the funning gear,
wheels and other parts which are
not too badly damaged for further
use, will he repaired and made into
another engine.
The government inspectors were
working all day yesterday examin-
ing the remains of the engine with
the vi"w Of determining the cause
of the wreck.-Humboldt Star.
