BOMB EXPLODES BUT
"FLY" IS UNHURT

NEW YORK, March IA stee
rocket containing Rodman Law, the
human fly" in which he INTENDED tC
be shot $50 feet into the air, descend
ing by a parachute, exploded this aft
ernoon when 800 pounds of powder
behind it was fired Law was hurled
25 feet from his seat in the rocket
but was unhurt.
Protected by padding and a helmet
Law crawled into the rocket with his
parachute and gave the order to fire
The fuse was lighted and spluttered
for 80 seconds. There was burst OF
flame, cloud of smoke and a terrifi
report. Hundreds of spectators,
their eyes for a sight of the
great rocket hurtling through the air,
saw it leap forward a few feet and
burst into fragments.
Law was hurled violently through
the air and to the ground. His hair
and eyebrows were burned off. For
10 seconds he was unconscious, then
he got up and looked around.

WILSON WRESTLES WITH
PATRONAGE PROBLEM

fourth class postmaster in the country
in the classified service, it has beer
subjected to vigorous criticisms by
democrats who charged that it's pur-
pose was to keep in office through Mr.
Wilson's term thousands of republic
ans who were not in sympathy with
the administration and who were
given such protection merely to keep
the republican political machine in
working order.
Mr.. Burleson and Chairman Nc
Combs of the democratic national
committee have settled on a plan for
patronage distribution which also will
be submitted shortly to the president.
If it is followed the question Of
whether a candidate for Office is
backed by Organization men" or
"anti-organization men" will not fig
ure when he is weighed for place.
The president will be advised to go
upon the principle that any man who
subscribes to the democratic platform
and shows his belief in democratic
principles, is politically fit for office.
Personal fitness, of course, will be
considered first, but the question of
state factions or pre-convention alli-
ances will have little weight. This
has been shown in the first
batch of presidential appointments.
Some of the most prominent men
whom the president this far has
named, opposed his nomination in
Baltimore.

PLEADS WITH SENATE TO PUT VIRTUE
ABOVE PROFITS FIX MINIMUM WAGE

< CHICAGO, Mar. 14.-An impassion-
ed plea to the state legislature not
to let theNmail-order houses cry of at
will ruin Illinois" to block the pro-
posed legislation for minimum
wage for women and girls was voiced
here today by Miss Mary Mcdowell
the head of the University of Chicago
settlement, and a co-worker of Jane
Addams.
THE fight for a minimum wage
law" she said, must go on. The
public sentiment is too strong to per-
NIT the business interests of these
heartless employers to block it.
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara has
been daring in bringing out the sordid
facts of the exploitation of the girls
of this state by the millionaire mer-
chant princes.
81 cannot believe the state senator's
will surrender now.
"A state minimum wage law may
not be an ideal piece of legislation
and it is possible that federal law
would be better, but anything that
will improve the chances of girl to
earn enough to live on will help"

Darn that thing" he exclaimed
Il thought | was going up
Panic spread among the spectators
Immediately after the explosion Il
seemed inconceivable that Law could
have escaped being blown to bits, and
several women became hysterical
When those who were managing the
exploit reached the scene, they were
surprised to find Law struggling on
the ground in the midst of the burn
ing framework of the scaffolding,
which had supported the rocket His
miraculous escape was explained by
the fact that the head of the rocket
on which he stood shoulder high in a
hollow extension, was made of an ex-
ira thickness of steel. The rest of the
rocket, six feet in length and two and
a half in diameter, was blown to
atoms.
Law walked unassisted to a nearby
house to have his burns dressed. He
declared that he would make a sec
ond attempt as soon as another rock
ct could be constructed by the moving
picture interests which employed him.

CHICAGO, Mar. 14.-With terrific

lOnes in the south the middle west is
today locked in the grip of what is by
odds the worst storm of the winter.
In all directions from Chicago the

wrought by the storm.
From Nebsraka come two reports

GOOD ROADS PAY FOR THEMSELVES AND PROFIT
FARMERS SAYS EXPERT AT ROADS SCHOOL TODAY

advocated resting places on long
grades ,and suggested that it was bet
ter to build roads with relation to
the topography of the country rath-
er than according to the section lines.
Heavy grades, he declared, limit the
loads and cause washouts, while he
pointed out that horse can pull four
times as much ON the level as on a 10
per cent grade. He advised 6 per
cent as the best maximum for earth
roads, for gravel and for macadam
2 per cent grade.
That concrete is in the long run the
most economical material for perman-
ent culverts and bridges was the point
made by Dean c. N. Little in his dis
cussion of concrete in that relation
Whereas wood, he declared, would
last five years concrete will last
lifetime. He advised the use of clean,
sharp sand and gravel that was not
too fiat in mixing concrete. One part
cement, two and half parts sand and
five parts gravel, he considered the
proper formula for general work
with one part cement, two of sand and
four of stone for the reinforced work.
Dr. Little called attention to the fact
that concrete had dropped fifty per
cent in price in about 12 years and
lumber had advanced to double its
price in that time.
The school, which has been produc-
tive of great good, will come to a
close this evening.

WASHINGTON, Mar 14.-President
Wilson's advisers have hit upon solu-
tions of two of the political problems
confronting the administration which
promised to be troublesome-wha
kind of democrats shall get plums
from the political tree, and how thous-
ands of democrats throughout the
country can be given a fighting
chance at Least to get near the tree.
Within the next few days Postmas-
ter General Burleson is expected to
present for the presidents consider
alton a plan which will open to depo-
ocrats the $4,000 third and fourth
class postmasterships placed under
the civil service recently by Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Burleson said last night that he
had not decided whether to ask the
president for a revocation of this or
der or not II he decides against ask
ing for revocation, he will suggest
that postmasters who benefited by che
Taft order be required to pass
merit test, which would be open also
to others. If the president took the
first course, thousands of postmas-
terships would be available at once
and if he chose the other, democrats
who entered the merit competition
would have as good a chance as re-
publican incumbents.

GUS order which with similar one

Died Suddenly This Morning.

I Miss Josephine Carraher, aged 81
years, died suddenly early this
morning at the home of her brothers,
Ed and Will Carraher, on West Third
street, about o'clock.
The young woman had been in poor
health but was not considered to be
in a dangerous condition. A few min
utes before 6 one of the brothers
heard her groan, and after waiting for
few moments went to the young
woman's room which was locked from
the inside. After gaining an entrance
to the room he found the sister dead.
Coroner McCartor and DR.. Aspray
examined the body and declared that
death was due to natural causes. 1t
was then taken to the Steltz morgue
for preparation for burial in Spokane.
The funeral will be in that city Sun
day.
Miss Carraher was born in New
York, and had made her home with her
two brothers and a sister in this city
since the death of her mother, in SpO-
kane a few months ago.

Every acre of improved land pro-
duced half a ton of haulage, accord
ing to the statisticians of the United
States government, and in this west
ern country it costs 20 cents per ton
mile to haul over our roads, if
the road experts have not been mis-
led. The Importance of good roads
then becomes apparent, for, as was
explained by DR.. L. l. Hewes of the
office of roads at the roads school at
the university this morning, reduc-
tion in the cost of haulage by 25 per
cent would pay for the improved roads
which will effect that reduction.
DR.. Hewes' subject this morning
was 'The Economy of Roads" After
pointing out that the saving in the
cost of hauling would pay for road i'm
provements he also explained that
roads gave an increase in the number
of market days available to the farm
er and thus relieved the congestion of
markets; that improved roads led to
improved farm homes, and to improv-
ed and consolidated schools. He ad-
vocated the best improved roads near
est to town, emphasizing the fact that
they carried 100 times the travel of
roads further from the centers.
Professor c. B. Steinman lectured
on road location. He explained the
rule that the roads should have their
easiest grades leading into town, /. e.
on the side of the heaviest traffic. He
