DYNAMITE charge

NEW YORK Special.-Two men
were killed. three fatally and six 9TH
ers seriously injured, when a steel
drill, working 266 feet below the sur
face of One Hundred and Sixth Street
and Central Park West struck a dyna-
mite charge and caused a terrific ex-
plosion. The men were working on

a drill was sunk to remedy the trou-
BILE. The drill struck the charge and
exploded il. Residents for ten blocks
heard the roar and noticed that it did
not sound like a regular blast.

the workmen in all directions. Hurry
calls were sent to nearby hospitals.

The men were hoisted to the street
by a little elevator. Two were dead
and three unconscious. Six others.

WEALTHY WOMAN
Held FOR THEFT
Mrs. MARY HUME COLLINS AL
LEN, BEAUTIFUL, Is ACCUSED
OF STEALING VANITY SET.

WASHINGTON. d. c. Special
The Washington Post today says:
Mrs. Mary Hume Collins Allen,
twenty years old, who will come into
possession OF a fortune estimated be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 today, and
who gained much notoriety on June
LIST last, when she eloped to Rock
Vile and married William Thomas AL
len, twenty years old, just twenty
four hours after being divorced from
DR.. Collins, to whom she was welded
when but fifteen years old, was ar
rested yesterday on a charge of petty
larceny.
Armed with a warrant charging the
theft OF vanity set worth a trifle
more than SIC, issued at the request
of Milton Baer, a Georgetown jeweler,
Detective Sergeant Joseph c.. Walsh
went to Mrs Aliens apartments, at
3O17 Dumbarton Avenue, Northwest,
took her in custody and escorted her
to the Seventh Precinct Station, from
where she was released two hours
later, after depositing $50 collateral
for her appearance in Police Court
this morning.
During her sojourn in the Police
Station Mrs. Allen na!vely related a
choice selection of mildly exciting ad-
ventures, which she had experienced
in the role OF heiress and bride. She
hostess and casually mentioned that
each plate laid cost $50. She told of
her 81 900 white fur coat, with which
she aroused the curiosity of + Street
last winter.
BY way Of conclusion, Mrs. Allen
mentioned that she had just purchased
$4,000 touring car, in which she and
her husband are to take a trip through
the South within a few days Her
check for $4,000 was cashed at the
Washington Loan and Trust Company
on Wednesday, Mrs. Allen averred, and
most of it is gone already" she said.
She declared she had no idea of steal
ing the vanity set from the jeweler,
and declared she had merely forgotten
to settle the bill.
Milton Baer asserts that the vanity
set was purchased nearly year ago,
and although he has sent many bills to
Mrs. Allen, he declares, he has received
no money. He wants only SIG and a
few cents, and as Mrs. Allen has so
much money, he feels sighted that she
has not favored him with a remittance.
The police doubt that the case will
ever reach the Police Court.
Mrs. Allen, the former Mary Hume, is
beautiful and comes of the old and
aristocratic Hume family of this city.
She has a child three years old, born
to her by her first husband. She is well
known in Washington.
Efforts to locate Mrs. Allen at her
Dumbarton Avenue apartment last
night were unavailing. The inquiring
raps on the door by reporters brought
only the response of a terrier, which
barked so loudly that the neighbors
were aroused.

INVADING ARMY
CAPTURES BOSTON

STRATFORD, CONN., Special.
With Boston theoretically fallen,
the invading Red army in the
war maneuvers is being flung out
today in its advance on New
York, while the line OF Blue de-
tenders Is being drawn up to OPP
pose IL. Although hOStilitieS are
not TO commence until tomorrow,
the invaders moved northwaPd of
New Haven today in an attempt
to cut off the water supply of
New York city.
This was regarded as an inn
pOrtant strategic move in the
early hOstilities designed to rem
der New York helpless before the
invaders.
However, the Reds have been
masking their movements so sys-
tematically that they have sue
ceeded in keeping the Blues in
partial ignorance of their where
abOutS. In theory they have cut
off communication between New
York and Southern points.
The commissary department
produced the first big question
in the mammoth war game. The
problem of feeding the 10000
tTOOpS OI the INeuS anu 6IucS was
a serious one.
The following amounts of food
stuffs have been bought to pro-
vision the two forces: Meat, 49,
600 pounds: potatoes, 100000
pounds; flour, 10000 pounds;
onions, $4,000 pounds; bacon,
32,550 pounds; beans, $4,000
pounds; coffee, 10000 pounds;
sugar, $4,000 pounds; ice, 200, 900
pounds; butter, 400 pounds;
rice, $500 pounds; dried fruits,
$500 pounds; canned goods, ~
500 cans.
AVIATION CORPS.
The commanders of the Red
and Blue armies know only in Il
vague sort of way where the
troops of the other are operating.
Somewhere to the north and east
of the HOuSatOnic River the Red
invaders are progressing New
NOrkWard.
In the vicinity OF Bridgeport
and to the westward the Blue de-
tenders are maneuVering through
the hills and dales and behind
stone walls in the woods. That
is all the information that either
has of the other.
The Blue. or defensive army,
will have as an aid an interesting
feature in the aviation section,
regularly equipped with an aero
plane. All the troops will be i'm
the field by tomorrow afternoon,
and Immediately upon reaching
their destinations preparations
will be made for the battle that
is to decide the fate of New York.

NO REGISTRY FOR
foreign BUILT SHIPS

WASHINGTON. ID. c. Special
John Sharp williams, OF MfsSis-
sippi, made n second attempt to-
day to have an amendment tncor-
porated i'm the Panama Canal
bill admitting to American regis
try all ships OF foreign construc-
ton owned by Americans.
Senators Lodge and Root OPP
posed the amendment on the
ground IL will put practically
every shipyard In this country
out OF business and cause a trans
fer OF all the construction of this
nature TO foreign shipyards.
The Williams amendment was
defeated by a vote OF 80 to 10,
after "a discussion In which Will
liams and Senator Martin, OF Vir-
ginia, clashed.
The latter opposed the Williams
plan of opening coastwise trade
TO foreign ships on the ground IL
would destroy American ship
building.
"I am surprised" asserted VIII
liams, THAT a Virginia Senator
and a Democrat should make a
protection speech"
Senator Martin Immediately In
terrupted TO deny the right of
W llD1IllS IL COlcNEuC Ills ECltttA ms
as advocating protection. He dis
claimed all principles OF protec-
ton.
1.-THE gentleman from Virginia"
retorted Williams. has travelled
along the same lines taken by
every protectionist orator In the
history OF the country. His words
speak for themselves. He said
the withdrawal OF protection
would work devastation and de-
struction in the Newport News
yard"
Senator Gronna, Republican
(insurgent), took the side of VIII
liams, arguing he favored any
measure which will tend TO equal
ize all classes of shippers.
Senator McCumber, North Da-
kota, opposed the Williams plan,
declaring the shipbuildcrs OF this
country cannot compete with
those OF foreign countries and
need protection.
Senator Williams second
amendment to the bill was carried
by a vote of "a TO "a.
This amendment provides that
all legal prohibitions upon Amer
lean registry OF foreign ships en-
gagged only I'm foreign trade are
hereby repealed provided the ships

NINErY-ONE DEAD
TAKEN PROM Mine

BERLIN, Speciality until noon
today ninety-one bodies had been
brought to the surface from the Loe-
thringen COlliery which was wrecked
by an explosion yesterday, when $50
miners were entombed.
At that hour others of the miners
had been accounted for. but it was
impossible to say how far the death
list would extend. Some expressed
owing to the impossibility of getting
fresh air into the remote chambers,
where some of the men were at work
when the explosion took place.
The German minister of commerce
arrived upon the scene today. EN-
peror William is at Essen, nine miles
from here, ana is getting hourly bull
work. subscription list for desti-
tute families of the victims has been
started.
The Kaiser contributed $3.50 to
the fund. Rescue parties worked all
night, chopping passages through the
debris which blocked the entrances
to the various workings. The work
was made more dangerous and teoi-
Gus by the presence of deadly after
damp, which usually follows a coal
mine explosion. The members of the
relief parties, many of whom had re-
latives imprisoned by the explosion
worked with great courage and oes-
perate energy, forcing passages
through the pit.
While the rescuers toiled, the strick-
en- families Of the victims clustered
near the mouth of the mine and filled
the air with their lamentations. The
district about the Chum is being heav-
lily policed to prevent any dangerous
demonstrations.

Land Blue JACKETS
To PRESERVE ORDER

WASHINGTON, d. C.. Special
With the reports that the Mica
raguan rebels, under General
Mena, have seized the section of
the railroad near Leon and are
threatening TO advance TO Mama
qua, the State Department OIL
Gals here today were much con-
cerned for the safety of Ameri-
cans in the republic.
The United States forces in Mic
aragua at present number only
100, the blue jackets landed by
the scout cruiser Annapolis.
The gunboat Tacoma is at
BluefieIds, prepared TO land $50
sailors and to- arm them with
rapid fire guns and small field
cannon. In addition the collier
Justin will sail from Panama to-
morrow, with $50 marines.
The rebels, however, are safely
enSconced in the central part of
the republic and il would be diff
cult for the American troops to
reach them without making an
extended campaign through the
cane brakes and swamp lands of
the interior.
Such course would antagOniZe
the natives and. as in the case of
Mexico, the United States is con-
fronted by the question of making
a blum on the border or invading
the country and facing a possible
concerted resistance.
Railroad and telegTaphic COM
municatiOn being entirely cut of
by the rebels, il is impossible TO
obtain authentic news from the
interior OF Nicaragua, and Minis
ter Weitzel today reported TO the
State Department that ne feared
for the safety of Americans in the
central part of the State.
IL is not prOba bic. however, that
the United States forces will be
ordered to advance. unless abSO-
lutte word reaches here that Amer
leans are in danger i'm central
Nicaragua.

Caldwell as expressed in his telegram
OF yesterday evening, that his action
denying the writ might be passed
upon by the full court on September

this could not be done without a re-
spite, a respite was granted until Sep
