for 100 sticks of dynamite which were
stolen from the underground powder

are believed to be in the possession of
convicts within the prison, who are only
awaiting a signal to blow the institu-
ton to atoms and inaugurate one of the

STUFF STOLEN TUESDAY
Captain of the Guard Ellis visited
the magazine yesterday to ascertain
the whereabouts of dynamite caps and
fuse which was to be used in the con-
struction of roadbeds between the
prison and San Rafael. and which mys-
teriously disappeared Tuesday.
It first was believed that the pow
der had been secreted along the road
way, but later developments convinced
the prison officials that the explosive
had been carried stick by stick into
the prison.
While no overacts on the part Of
the inmates of the prison have been
noticed the guards have been in
creased, special privileges curtailed
and every precaution taken to guard
against the threatened outbreak.
Warden Hoyle returned from sacra-
mento last night and was informed Of

A MENDMENTS FAVOR
n EUROPEAN CAPITAL

SACRAMENTO, April 17.-Amend-
bill, designed to exempt from the strict
prohibitions of the act all California
properties held by European capital,
while still barring the Japanese, were
offered in the senate today by the
author of the measure.
The amendments were drawn up at
a conference between Senator'S Bird
sail and Thompson and E. II. Winn, w.
E. Creed. Duncan McDuffie, T. C.
Kierulff and ]. NJ Mannon Jr., who rep
resent foreign syndicates having large
interests in this state.
If adopted by the senate, the pro-
posed changes will make the Birdsall
bill more acceptable to Europeans than
the assembly bill and more restrictive
upon the Japanese.
The principal amendment is the In
sertion of a clause permitting corpora
tions. the majority stock of which is
held by aliens eligible to citizenship, to
own land This provision was in the
assembly bill. but the Birdsall measure
heretofore provided that the majority
stock OF such corporations should be
held by citizens of the United States
or persons who had declared their in
tention to become citizens
Further concessions 10 European
capital are contained in the following
new sections which protect the loans of
foreign banks and exempt land used
in the mining. oil, shipping and lum-
Der industries, where most foreign
capital, except that of the Japanese,
is invested.
The new sections are as follows:
"The prohibitions of this act shall
not extend to lands which are valuable
chiefly for mines or minerals, or which
are being operated as mines. nor to
lands chiefly valuable for the produce
tion OF oil. nor to timber lands, nor to
lands owned or used as sites for ware
houses, wharves. refineries, or factor

ing the investigation until Warden
Hoyle entered the prison.
wARDEN's SUSPICIOUS AROUSED
When he entered the corridors an
underlined air Of unrest aroused the
suspicion of the warden, who imme-
diately called his guards and associ-
ates in consultation. When he be-
came cognizant of the true state Of af-
fairs he ordered that the search begin
at once. In the meantime known des-
perate criminals were placed in soli-
tary cells and every precaution taken.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN

of considerable powder and caps. and
tnat his men had found some OF the

believe that the dynamite will be
found within the prison. Every pre-
caution, however. is being taken. to
prevent an outbreak.
Warden Hoyle said that as far as he
was concerned he would leave the mat
ter in the hands of Captain Ellis until
this morning. He promises a. rigid per-
sonal Investigation to determine the ex-
act extent of what he believes may be
a concerted movement of malcontents

SEVEN AV|AT0Rs
DASHED TO DEATH
Five Fre1chmen and Two
Greeks Victims of Fall
ing Airships

NOISY LIE GRAND, France, April IT.
One OF the most terrible accidents
to spherical balloon in many years
occurred here this afternoon. when the
military balloon Zodiac collapsed at a
height of about ESQ feet and fell to
the ground with its FIVE occupants, all
of whom were killed.
The Zodiac. which had a capacity OF
1900 cubic meters, was inflated with
ordinary gas and left the Aero club
park at ST. Cloud with the military
aeronauts, Captains Clavenad and De-
noue, Lieutenant de vaisse1ot and Ar
tilleryman Reciy and the civilian pilot,
Aumont Thieville. aboard
Propelled by strong wind, the ball
loon passed rapidly over Paris and ar
rived at Noisy lie Grand Observers
suddenly saw 1t shrivel up and fall.
Laborers working in the fields rushed
to the assistance of the aeronauts. but
had difficulty in extricating them from
the vast mass of silk
Three of the men-Clavenad, Rechy
and Aumont Thieville-were killed out
right. Denoue and De vaisselot were
still breathing They were placed in
an automobile and rushed to the military
hospital at vincennes. Denoue died on
the way. De yaisselot died at the hos
pital
The exact cause of the accident re-
mains mystery. The collapse of the
balloon was due to tear In the cover,
which, apparently. was made intention-
ally.
The theory is that something went
wrong with the valve and that one of
the aeronauts lost his head and cut the
cover, causing the immediate deiation
of the balloon.
Zouaves stationed at Fontenay-sous-
Bois report that a guide rope was
thrown out there. They tried to hold
it. but the wind was too strong and
they were obliged to let CO.
