HOAxED CALIFORNIA OFFICER
Story Of Proposed Rebellion Against
United States a Joke, Says
General" Kelly.

Sacramento, Cal.-That Lieut..
Franklin Grimes of the California
National Guard has been made the
victim OF hoax was the statement
made by Gen" Charles Kelly, head
of the jobless army, in denying
charges by Grimes that Kelly planned
10 overthrow the United States gov
eminent.
Grimes story is pure fiction, Kelly
said. Either Grimes invented it, he
said, or credited the statements OF
some crazy radical among the unem-
ployed who was not responsible.
Grimes asserted the leaders of the
unemployed planned to gather Il mill
lion idle men in Chicago, seize the,
United States arsenal at Rock Island,
take guns and ammunition and march
against the national capital.

Many Illinois cities Feel Shock
When Powder Mil!
Blows Up.
WATCHMAN OF PLANT MISSING
Windows Broken Fifty Miles Away
When Tons of Explosive Were
Touched On-Smoke Cloud
Alarms ST. Louis.

St. Louis, Moan explosion at the
Equitable Powder Company's plant at
Alton, Ill, near here, shook territory
in Illinois within radius of one hun
dred miles. The shock of the explo-
sion, however, did not cross the Mis-
sissippi river into Missouri. Henry
Miller, night Waterman at the plant,
and the only man known to have been
within a mile of the mill at the time
of the explosion, is believed to- have
been killed as no trace of him could
be found after the accident. The ex-
plosion occurred at $50 p. m. and
soon after reports of earthquake
shocks began coming in from Deca-
tur, Assumption, Orleana and Cen
tralia, Ill.
In most of these places two shocks
were felt. At Centralia, more than
fifty miles from the scene of the ex-
plosion, doors and windows ratified
for five seconds, and in some cases
were broken. The shock was not felt
in st. Louis.
At $3.50 a dense smoke carrying a
strong odor of burning gunpowder
settled over the city, thirty miles
from the scene of the explosion. 1t
had taken the black cloud three hours
to travel diagonally across the river
from Alton to st. Louis. The smoke
created much excitement among the
theater-going crowds down town, as
they were unaware of it's cause. Re-
calling the Missouri Athletic Club
disaster and numerous other big mid
night fires which have occurred in
st. Louis in the last few weeks, peo-
pie rushed from one street to another
in search of what was thought to be
a new fire. The smoke covered the
city for about fifteen minutes and
then passed southwark.
The explosion occurred in the glaz-
ing plant of the powder company, and
left only deep hole in the ground
on the spot where the building stood.
Nine tons of black powder went up
in one blast, at cost to the company
of more than $4,000, including the
loss of the building.
The shock rocked buildings in Al
ton and broke every plate glass win
dow in East Alton. At the home of
Edward Cunningham the kitchen
stove was overturned and the house
set afire Richview and Nashville,
ILL.,, also felt the shock.

THRONES NOT AS OF OLD.

The advent of a new pretender 90
one throne is followed by the volun-
tary remuneration of the scarcely less
hopeless pretendership to another.
There was much rejoicing the other
day among Bonapartists over the birth
of a son to Prince Victor Napoleon, a
grandson to ''Plon-Plon" and a great
grandson to the King of Westphalia.
Probably there is some satisfaction
in maintaining a direct line of claim
ants generation after generation But
we should be. entertained to see at
what rates Lloyd's would insure the
youngsters expectation of accession to
the throne. Now Manuel, lately of
Portugal, renounces his claims to re-
storation. This is done voluntarily,
though upon it was conditional his
marriage with the Princess Augustine
of Hohenzollern-Sigm aringen, says the
New York Tribune. There is a re
freshing novelty in the refusal of q
nonreigning prince to let his daughter
wed an ex-king unless the latter would
pledge himself never to try to be king
again There is reported to be de-
gree of agitation in that other branch
of the Braganza family, to which Man
uel has RENTED his pretendership,
with even some talk of restorationist
uprising But we should doubt if it
comes to much. Duke Michael has
IL names to ManuePs ID, and he is too
advanced in years to play a dashing
and daring part. Besides, it must be
remembered that Manuel is of the
house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as well as
of Braganza, and when a Coburger
renounces his claim to a throne we
may be sure there is nothing in it
worth holding on to.

FIELD FOR WOMEN
field which the moving picture has

The movie" world is the great
new woman's field!
1t is bubbling over with novel OPP
pOrtunities for pretty girls, active
girls, persevering girls, blonde girls,
brunette girls, short girls and tall
girls, athletic girls and studious girls.
There are a hundred and one
things a girl can do in the movies. %
She may be one of scores of the
sad or merry maids whose bright
faces are mirrored on the screen.
She may be one of the competent
girls in the big factory of the large
moving picture plant, busily match
ing and testing the thousands of
yards of film.
She may be an adept in the art of
costume, and find place in the busy
wardrobe room which must be ready
to supply any style of dress of any
period at notice.
Or she may be the clever brains"
of the story of the film itself! And in
this department there seems to be DO
end to the needs. This is the place
where originality, spelled with a big
co. and underlined, wins big favors
and ready pay check.
Something new, something new"
is the constant cry of the moving
picture producers, some of whom are
expected to finish three pictures a

MENTAL TROUBLE IN EUROPE.
Mary Lose Balance Through Terrors Of
Battle and Fatigue.

Berlin.-The military medical author
tiles made preparations at the outbreak
of the war for treating mental mala-
dies caused by the terrors of battle. 1t
had been shown by the Russo-Japanese
war that the effect Of the long drawn
out modern battle, with it's terrible and
incessant roar of artillery, was in a
high degree unfavorable to the minds
Of the cOmbatants, and the record Of
mental arrangements caused by the
battle in the far east opened a new
chapter in the horrors Of war. In an
tend the present war the German au-
thOritieS established at Strassburg a
special hospital for the treatment of
diseases of the mind caused by battle.
One of the physicians attached to
this hospital has just given in the Mu-
mich Medical Weekly some of his OBJ
servations during the first weeks of the
war He found that mental disorders
manifested themselves among the AL
satan population even during the pc
riod of mobilization. when the terror
Of being arrested as spy was ever
present with many persons.
Still greater have been the numbers
of persons who lost their mental bal
ance through the terrOrs of battle and
especially through long continued ia
tigue. Some of these patients showed
something like hysteria and kept re-
peating in dramatic way incidents
that they had seen in battle.
The writer uses a special term, 'neu-
rasthenic depression" to describe the
effects upon large number of patients
who had seen continuous fighting. PEG.
pie suffering in this way could not rid
themselves of the notion that they
