San Antonio, Texas.-At least thir-
ty-two men were killed and more than
fifty injured when the boiler Of To-
connective No. 704 exploded in the
shop yards Of the Southern Pacific
railroad here. The property damage
will approximate 100000.
A committee of railroad officials,
army officers and citizens made an
investigation, and is Of the opinion
that the explosion probably was due
to carelessness Of one of the men
killed in allowing an thrush Of cold
water into the superheated boiler, in
which the water was already low.
Twelve bodies have not: been iden-
titled, and human fragments picked
up within a radius Of several blocks
probably account for several missing.
The engine, a big passenger mogul,
practically new, had been brought to
the shops for inspection. Those in the
vicinity who escaped immediate
death declare that the boiler burst
without warning, tearing the huge ma.

GROWING

STRONG ADDRESS DELIVERED AT
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CARO-.
LIMA.
IT is A WINTER LEGUME
A Well Known AgricuIturist Speaks
to the Students On Important Sub
ject-Much Interest is Shown
Many Hear the Address.

Columbia.-"More vetch should be
grown in South Carolina. 1t is a win
ter legume and occupies the land when
otherwise it would be idle. It's culture
is rapidly spreading. Over 1000 fields
are now planted in this state. 1t i'm
proves the land more rapidly than
COW peas. 1t is the best winter le-
gume in South Carolina" These state
ments were made by A. G. Smith in
his lecture on legumes at the Univer-
sity of South Carolina. Mr.. Smith
exhibited specimens of alfalfa, with
its roots longer than the human arm
sinking down into the soil, enrich
ing it to indefinite depths. He ex-
hibited also specimens of vetch and
other leguminous plants. Concrete
instruction in the basal aspects "of
farming in this state has marked thls
course, which has given a practical
trend to the mind and life of the uni.
versity of inestimable benefit.
Before Mr.. Smith sat many mem
bers of the faculty, among them
Dean A. C. Moore, DR.. w. B. Burney
and DR.. J. E. Mills. All have been e
thusiastic as to the value derived
from these lectures upon the progress
of farming in the South.
"Legumes are distinguished from
other plants by their power to take
nitrogen from the air by means OF
nodule forming bacteria, and use It
as plant food or deposit it in the soil
for future crops. Every acre OF the
earth's surface is covered by about
5000, 900 pounds Of atmospheric nj
trogen, and unlimited quantities OF 1t
can be obtained for the use of farm
crops, and at a small cost"

New York.-An attempt to kill
Judge Otto Rosalsky Of the court OF

near being successful. 1t was only a
defect-said to be q small accumu.
lation Of dirt-in the mechanism OF
the Internal machine-which the JUS

saved him from probable death or:
certain injury. The bomb later ex-
ploded while being examined by In.
spector owen Egan Of the bureau or
combustibles, seriously injuring him
about the face and arms.
The intended victim Of the explo-
sion has been given a great deal OF
publicity lately in connection with the
Brandt case. It vas Judge Rosalsky
who sentenced Brandt to a 30-yeari
term for burglary at Mortimer Z
Schix's: home In 1907 and who recent
ly reversed his action.
The attack upon the jurist is the
first case OF such violence attempted
against a Judge here within memory.
and it set the whole machinery Of
the police speedily at work ON the
mystery. The bomb came by mail.

where a bomb delivered to him By

SANS BOTS COAL COMPANY'S MINE
At McCURTAIN, OKLA, SCENE
OF HOLOCAUST.
ONLY ELEVEN MEN ESCAPE
More Than Half of the Mine Victims
Are Americans and Leave
o. Families.

McCurtain, Okla.-One hundred and
five lives is accepted as an approx
mately correct estimate of the human
toll taken when mine No. 2 of the
Sans Bots Coal company here was
wrecked by an explosion. OF 116 men
of the day shift only II are known
to be alive, while the others are en-
tombe behind the debris.
In Tie opinion of government ex-
perts and mine officials they are
dead and a special train which
brought physicians and nurses from
Fort Smith, Ark, returned. Five phy-
sicians remained with the faint hope
that some of the imprisoned men
might be found alive. Among those
u%naccounted for are a surveying par
ty headed by w. D. Roper OF Clio, 3.
C.. Forty.three Americans were en-
ployed in the mine.
The explosion occurred shortly al
ter nine o'clock in the morning. Those
on the surface heard a faint rumble
and an earth tremor. When those
nearest to the mouth Of the mines
mouth reached the opening a cloud OF
dust and smoke belched forth. ...
Then came tense moments OF walt
Ing for those in the mine to emerge.
Frank Fields, a miner, vas the hrst
to stager out. Ee was walking In an
entry and heard the explosion, he
said. He jumped into side room and
the explosion passed and he made
his way to the mine opening. Nine
other miners escaped through a man
way" A rope rider who was COM
ing to the surface when the explosion
occurred was the eleventh man to es-
cape.
Superintendent Brown Of the coal
company led the first rescue party
into the mine, but they could proceed
no further than the sixth level be-
cause of the accumulation Of debris
and returned to the surface with the
body of John Colvas, a l~7-year"old
youth. ,
Accumulated gas or coal dust was
the cause of the explosion, according
to experts.
