FIFTY ARE INJURED

TARY LOSS WILL BE
$4,000
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

San Antonio, Texas.-At least thir-
ty-two men were killed and parts of
their bodies strewn for blocks around
when big passenger engine in the
Southern Pacific shops blew up here.
The engine stood in a square formed
by the copper house, blacksmith shop
and round house, all of which were
wrecked. A part of the locomotive
crashed into house several blocks
away and seriously hurt woman.
Twenty of the bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
twenty more is little more than a
tangled mass of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated.
These fragments were found
jammed into crevices about the build
ing wrecked, in the street and eutan-
gled in machinery OF the shops.
Tho shops have been manned for
several weeks by strikebreakers i'm
ported when shopmen of the Harri-
man lines went out 1t is believed
most of the killed are from the North
and East.
II is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness of some one Of
the men killed, in allowing cold wa
ter to run into the hot boiler OF the
locomotive. The engine was No. 70i
and was practically new. 1t was in
the shops for inspection. 1t was Of
the large moguEtyp
Besides the thirty-two believed to
have been killed, fifty persons were
injured. These for~the most part were
in remote sections et, the buildings
wrecked. for those close to the engine
or in the main parts of\the building
either were killed by the. blast or
crushed by falling material when the
buildings crumbled. The monetary
loss viii be about 100000.
Freaks OF the terrific impact were
many. but one OF the most strange Is
that the driving wheels of the engine
were not disturbed. while parts OF the
huge locomotive were driven blocks
The large wheels apparently did not
bulge.

STAR At ACADEMY
John M. Kline to Play Prin-
cipal Part in THE
Divorce"

With a credential OF having run for
l07 consecutive nights at McVickers'

ence OF John NJ. Kline. the former CO.

the principal character in the play,

The theme OF the play IN an argu-
ment against divorce, the main idea
being that the next generation must
be considered in laws enacted by the
present generation, taking the stand
that the purpose Of marriage is the
PRONUNCIATION OF humanity by the pro-
duction OF children and the definite and
unrefuted Idea contained Is that every
child. has a riSht to It's parents.
There are delightful touches of COM
sdy in the Divorce that give the
necessary contrast, and make the
salient features of the Play stand out
all the more prominent. A pair of
youthful lovers are concerned, and
when their troubles are most perplex-
ing FIR. Jerome, uniquely disentangles
the snarl. aided by Patrick Skelly, a
caretaker of humorous inclination, IN
the employ Of FIR. Jerome.
In the cast. other than Mr.. Kline.
will be seen William v. Mong. who is
making fame for himself as dope
fiend characterizer; Virginia Pearson.

Hilliard; Charlotte Granville, and Shell
