RUSH TO LAKE IN FLAMES

Ten small boys playing about a gar
bage dump in Roosevelt avenue, near the
Hackensack River. Jersey City. last
night, found a twenty-five pound can OF
gunpowder They didn't know what II
was at first. and took it over TO the Hud-
son Coupnty Park, block away TO IN
yestigate They thought perhaps II
might be buried treasure.
Edward Schemel, who is fifteen years
old and lives at No Il Bishop street. and
David Wasserman, also fifteen. of No. 81
Clifton Place, were selected as the ones
to open the can. They thought a jack
knife would be about the best tool, and
they proceeded to work.
The eight other boys stood by, but not
at respectful distance, because they
had no idea the can was loaded. Schemel
and Wasserman were working away at
the cover and the others were watching
them closely. The cover came off. but
iust as il did the knife scraped along
the edge of the can and a spark re-
suited.
Immediately there was a terrific eX-
plosion and all Of the boys were knocked
down. Schemel and Wasserman. when
they regained their feet, discovered that
their clothes were afire from head to
foot. and with remarkable presence or
mind they ran 10 a small lake in the
park and jumped in. But the lake was
fully hundred yards from the spot
where the explosion had taken place,
and they were terribly burned before
they extinguished the flames. or the
other boys four were badly burned about
the face. most OF them losing their eye
brows and hair, while their cheeks were
pitted with powder marks.
There was intense excitement in the
park. for hundreds of women and chill
dren had gone there to escape the heat
Of their homes in the neighborhood.
Harry Lehman, of No. 551 West Side
avenue, came along in an automoDiie' III
which he piled the six injured boys and
drove TO the City Hospital. There 1t
was said that Schemel and Wasserman
were in serious condition. The others.

Although Senator Nixon suffered from
the trouble with his nose for several
years. II was not until recently that lie

undergo an operation. When nc entered
the hospital it was discovered that he
had waited too long.
Mrs Nixon Is a comparatively recent

DIXON JEERs AT BOLT" TALK
The Colonel's Manager Declares That
the Roosevelt Forces Will Control
the Convention, Irrespective
of the Contested Seats
Wont Support How
ellis Demand.

Chicago. June "a plan to meet at
once the full force Of Theodore Roose-
velt's fight TO control the organization
of the Republican National Convention
by making permanent the temporary
organization. with Senator Elihu Root
as chairman, was practically agreed on
to-day by Taft leaders who are here TOR
the opening session Of the national COM
mittee tomorrow. This is in accordance
with the wishes of the President.
Control Of the national committee by
Taft forces is said by them TO be cer-
tain. When the committee meets to-
morrow to organize for the hearing OF
contested delegate cases the Roosevelt
forces will not try either to seat K. b.
Howell Of Nebraska, to succeed Acting
Chairman Rosewater or to select a
Roosevelt committeeman as presiding
officer for the contest hearings.
Fresh from conferences with Colonel
Roosevelt at oyster Bay, Senator Dixon
and William L. Ward national commit
teeman of New York, made IL clear
that the Roosevelt managers were not
behind the claim Of Mr.. Howell TO
seat on the committee. Mr.. Howell will
try to present his own case, contending
that his recent Endorsement in the Ne
braska primary entitled him TO the
place, but members of the COMMITTEES
expect a speedy decision against him.
The committee will select a successor
TO Chairman John F. Hill of Maine who
died last winter: adopt rules TO govern
the hearings of the contest cases; decide
whether to give publicity to the hearings,
and arrange the time 10 be allotted for
each case There are more than 23s
delegate seats in the convention for
which contests have been prepared by
either Taft or Roosevelt. men. The first
of the cases will be taken up Friday
morning

who arrived from Washington to-day.
| were kept busy canvassing the situation.
II is said that Taft leaders regard at
least thirty-five of the fifty-three MEM
bers of the national committee as favor
able TO the Presidents candidacy.
The ultimatum from Colonel Roosevelt
that Senator Root must not be elected as
temporary chairman, which was reiterat-
ed by Senator Dixon on his arrival in
Chicago was met by n strengthening of
the Taft forces in opposition. The Taft
leaders determined not only To adhere
to their purpose To seat Senator Root.
but to call on their forces to help make
MIN permanent chairman of the conven-
tion.
The fight by Roosevelt attorneys for
the contested delegates from Southern
states pill include claim of legality for
every convention where they said they
had a ma ajority of the delegates. 1t -
contended that in many cases delegates
were kept out of the convention halls.
and where such excluded delegates would
have made majority Colonel ,Roose-
velt's representatives will demand that
their conventions be recognized as the
regular" ones.
Senator Dixon outlined the Roosevelt
programme late to-day. He declared the
Roosevelt forces would fight TO the las.
in the effort TO overthrow Senator Root
for temporary chairman of the conven-
ton. but that they would take no part
in the effort to seat new members of tie
national committee to defeat Victor
Rosewater, of Nebraska, for chairman OF
the national committee or to procure
control Of majority of the committee.
The Roosevelt manager denied many
current stories regarding Colonel Roose-
velts plans, an dasserted that mo state
ments will come from any source but
my office" as TO the plans of the Roose-
Welt forces. He held short conference
with Roy C. West. chairman of the ILL.,
nois Republican State Central Commit
tee. and later declared that at least
ffty-six Illinois delegates would aid
Roosevelt in the fight against Senator
Root He added:
The vote against Senator Root is part OF
the moral support which men pledged to
Roosevelt must give IL they are TO carry
out the spirit of their instructions and
believing In the perfect fairness OF the
members OF the national committee. we
have no fear In resting our contests upon

Lucas. they went ashore at Caimanera
this morning and proceeded by train to

one hundred and twenty more were
sent to Guantanamo this evening, and
the American force probably will be
ample to safeguard the foreign prop
critics in that district.
While it is officially declared that this
action was taken solely TO protect
American and other foreign properties,
the impression became general that it
was n preliminary step to American ip-
tervention. This caused considerable ex
citement in the capital. II became
known later that the landing was in
response TO an urgent appeal To the
commandant of the United States naval
station by the Chamber of Commerce Of
Guantanamo 10 afford protection to the
numerous foreign estates in the vicinity,
which the government forces have been
