INVESTIGATE ACCIDENT
Premature Explosions Are Causing
Many Fatalities.

Pittsburg, May 15.-Frequent explo-
sions of dynamite and powder within
the last week in western Pennsylvania
Maryland and West Virginia and at
temptS to explode heavily filled maya
zines, is causing anxiety. Since last
Saturday close to a dozen persons have
been Killed. scores have been injured
some fatally, and much property has
been ruined.
Beginning last Saturday when 500
sticks of dynamite exploded in the
magazine of the Sunshine Coal and
Coke company'S mine near Mason
town. Pa, resulting in the death of
four and injury of two score and end
ing yesterday with the explosion of
100 pounds of dynamite and 10 kegs
of powder stored in the magazine of
the Consolidated Coal company at
Echart. Nd, in which three were
killed and a dozen injured. there
seems to be an epidemic of such acct

STRAW HAT DAY
Omen Season on Summer Head
gear Is Here.
Law of Land Sets Aside Today
as Official.
DISCARD MOTH EATEN DERBY
Nothing but Light and Airy
Lids Go Now.
A Few Suggestions on How to
Beat Trust.
DISCARD MOTH EATEN DERBl

Nav Is, by some arbitrary arrange
ment, the origin of which is unknown,
is supposed to be first day of the open
season on the COWS breakfast 9TH
erwise known as straw hat. But in
Topeka where it takes an ordinance,
backed by supreme court tested state
laws to regulate sartorial effects. the
straw hat steals upon US slyly and
gradually, like the fumes of ha-hac
gas. Specimens of the vegetable-mat-
ter bonnet were seen on our main
pike so far back as week before last
Even the La wand order league failed
to make a record of the first one, and
it is suspected that a few were worn
\ all winter without attracting attention
But today, being official opening
day lot more of the light and airy
lids will appear. A still larger number.
will appear next pay day, and by the
end of the month, the moth-eaten,.
brow beatin' derby will be hopelessly.
in the minority.
The store displays would indicate
that the style lines are not closely
drawn on the straw hat. You may
purchase anything from one of the
hard trimmed flat topS-the kind that
rolls farthest when it blows off-to
Panama with a lot of guarantees in
side and a startling price tag on the
outside. There is also the willie" hat
with a necktie instead of a band, and
the bowknot in the back. Trimmed
with little spinach and lace, this
hat should be very attractive. There
also is the bangkok hat of closely
woven straw, which runs the Panama
a close second in the matter of price.
The bangkok is in several styles
some of them crimped in at the top
like a machine-loaded shotgun shell.
And in the meantime a number of our
best citizens have discovered a way to
beat the straw hat trust; it is to pur-
chase, for about four bits, one of those
merceriZed fedoras that weigh about
an ounce, and looks better than a $40
Panama-after each has been run
over byS an ice wagon.
Those who have leftovers from last
season may wear them with irnpunity,
or a new band, just as they see fit The
straw hat is one of the two or three
things not regulated by city ordi-
nance. H O. p

nation of the armistice the period OF

Thursday evening.
The porte has protested to the pow.
ers again-t the denunciation OF the
armistice by the allies.
In its reply to the joint note OF the
powers the Young Turk government
asserts itself boldly. Apart from pro-
posals to divide Adranople and a plea
for the retention of the Aegean is
lands. the new government takes ad-
vantage OF the occasion to press for
relief from the letters OF tariff and
foreigners extra-territorial rights I'M
der which the Turks long have
chafed.
Yet, even at this eleventh hour. war
in no wise is assured. The difference
between what Constantinope Is ready
TO give and what Bulgaria Is willing
to accept. has been reduced to such
small proportions that even some OF
the Balkan delegates believe a com.
promise may yet be found Constan.

ton of that section of Adrianople

even to confer the right OF extra ter.
