FATAL EXPLOSION
 AT ROUND HOUSE

An explosion occurred at the Round house last Tuesday even ing at about 5:30 which resulted in the death of Valentine Trujil- 10 and the injury of Adolfo Jar millo, both employees of the San ta Fe.
 It appears that Trujillo and his helper were engaged on some repairs on the engine tank and were working with a torch over the man hole of the oil tank. In some unaccountable manner the leak from the tank came in con- tact with the torch and the ex- plosion followed.
 Trujillo was about 29 years of age and was considered a good workman. The force of the ex- plosion blew both lids of the tank through the roof and its evident that Trujille was blown against the roof as both his legs were broken and his skull crushed. Jarmillo, the helper was badly bruised and barely escaped with his life, but is now improving. Eye witnesses to the explosion state that the torch was left ly- ing on the tank, while the work men were engaged elsewhere on the engine.
 The funeral was held at the Catholic church Thursday after. noon, under the auspices of the Eoyal Order of Moose of which he was a a-member.
 The victim was well known ir Winslow, and was a brother o1 Lred Ramos, wife. Jarmillo is z brother=in-laW

IT PAYS TO EAT MEAT
Vegetarians Fall Far Behind in an
Endurance Contest.

Stanford University, Cal. April B.
Prof. James Rollin SIonaker, of the
department of physiology at the uni
versity, has decided that the vegetar
ian of the species is less durable than
the meat eater His conclusion is
founded on a series of unique expert
ments just completed.
BY the use of rats. confined in cages
with speedometers attached, the pro-
fessor discovered that in 25 months a
meat-eating rat ran 5,447 miles while
a vegetarian rodent covered but 447
miles. The meat-eating male covered
something like 1000 miles less than
the female, but led the vegetarian
male by 1900 miles on the treadmilI-
The meat-eating female travelled
5,447 miles, the male LAT, while the
vegetarian female covered 447 miles
and the male 200.

A sudden fall of Ia in Reading increased
the pressure on other. stocks but the
market met support after a while and
the whole list rebounded to level with

Bullish operations received a chill when

NO CHANCE TO VOTE.
Fifth Ward Taft Republicans Charge
Unfairness.

Charges that nearly 80 Taft sup
porters were denied the right to vote
IN Fifth ward caucuses last night,
were made today by Republicans who
attended the meeting. Many of the
Taft followers came late and it is
claimed that they were unable to find
standing room in the building at 1925
Kansas avenue and were given no OPP
portunity to declare their choice in the
selection OF delegates to the county
convention.
There must have been so Taft men
on the sidewalks waiting to vote"
said Charles Lyle, a deputy sheriff,
who attended the meeting. 1.-The
Roosevelt men came early and packed
the room. Someone offered a motion
that the men declare their preference
as they left the building. No one saw
the evident trick and when the room
was cleared. the men who stood on
the outside were not given a chance to
vote. There was no question but the
Taft supporters were in the majority
and would have won if everyone had
been given a chance to vote.
Friends of the rough rider declared
today that no effort was made to take
advantage of either faction and that
Roosevelt lost as many votes as did
Taft by the method of handling the
crowd

Botanical Experiment.

New York. April 3.-After 10 years

lyn botanist has developed a gooc
luck" clover plant which produces
four leaves On every stem, instead OF
the traditional three. The result was

or subtract one leaf until desired quar-
tette of leaves appear in every plant
The plant is taller than the ordinary
clover, and the leaves are banded and
have a graceful poise.

CHICAGO'S COOLEST.

Chicago, April 3.-March, 1912, has
been recorded in Chicago's history as
the coolest March ever known here
Statistics of the weather bureau dating

These facts were set forth last night
