BLOWN TO BITS,
 MYSTERY SHROUDS
 SCHREIBER'S DEATH
Widow of Unfortunate Man Will Probably Receive $3, ,12o Under Compensa- tion Act.

How Charles Schreiber who was instantly killed in an explosion of illuminate at the Remington Arms U. M. c. Go. came to his death yes terday, will probably never be known according to the finding of Coroner Phelan The coroner yester- day. visited the scene of the fatality and not only went over the scene of tho accident but Ernest F. Rhode who works at the same process of mixing illuminate in the next house to where MT. Schreiber was killed. attended the coroner and described and, executed the process of mixing this deadly explosive.
 Schrelber had taken some wet full 111inalte to the dry house over which James Babb is engineer at 6:45 that morning. He returned for that quan- Itity at S:45 and carried the deadly explosive in a rubber receptacle, shaped like a boat, back to the mix ing house. Another employe Sof the company spoke to him just before he entered the mixing house. It is rule of the company that only one man may be in the mixing house at the Same time.
 At exactly 9:12 the explosion cc- cured. From the condition of the work room where the explosion took place it is thought that Schrieber either dropped the boat of dry ful-
 ninate he was carrying, or else with his elbow. in turning away, upset the scale schoop holding the mixture he was about to weigh
 Compensation Commissioner Buck ingham looked over the situation at the Cartridge Companyss factory yes terday. He found that every pre- caution was taken to protect eun- pIoyes only one person being allow Ted in each mixing station at one time and that the adjoining mixing places were protected by banks Of earth.
 Tn fact the explosion did not break the glass in the windows or disturb the station adjoining the station that Compensation act the widow of Schreiber may receive $10 Der week for a period of 312 weeks. The haz- ardous nature of her husbands em- ployment has nothing to do with the case. Compensation Commissioner Buckingham refused to discuss the matter to-day, pfeferring to wait un- til it has officially been brought to his notice.
 It is understood that the Cartridge oompany has a system of providing comp pensation to- employees injured in it's service or to the heirs of those killed in it's. employment. Officials of matter, but residents of the East End. many of whom have been employed in the factory for years have always been ready and willing to accept the arrang genaents offered by, the concern and there is a feeling of loyalty among the employees and their relatives akin to that which existed on the old New Haven road before the change Tn management which brought about the present Federal investigation of the road.

PLAY GROUNDS WERE
 DISCONTINUED AFTER WOMEN WON THE VOTE
(From Mrs. W. B. Williams, Anti
 Suffragist1

A faHorite battIe-ery of the ssuffra- gists is that if women had the vote the education and welfare Of the cIil- dren of the country would be far bet ter provided for. This sounds well and no statement could be better cal culated to appeal to the ehiVaIroHs nature of the American man. Unfor- tunately for the Suffragists facts ab solutely contradict this pleasing the ory. Pasadena, Cal. was justly proud of her playgrounds. These were es- abolished before women had the bal lot. Otter women were granted suf- frage the p1aygrounds were discon- finued because the voters failed to vote money for them. AS there were 2,688 more women than men of yot- ing age in Pasadena the matter was really in the hands of the women.
 In Berkeley, Gal. somewhat the same thing happened in April, 1913. On the question of a. bond issue to pay for city playgrounds only 1.5o0 wom- en out of 5000 voted. The mayor, a zealous partisan of votes for women, reprimanded the women for this ne glect of duty and in a newspaper ar ticle asks, Where were the Moth CTS? s?' More such cases might be add ed but these are enough to show that votes for women do not insure the welfare of children. The antis dc not blame the women of California which never should have been laid upon their shoulders. and they were doing their duty playing a woman part at home instead of a mans part at the polls. But one thing such fias- eos do prove and that is that women do not want to vote and do not do SC when the opportunity is offered them

 Southport Jan. 18.-Southport was today visited with the highest tide. in the memory of, the oldest inhabitant The river here raised to height of six feet above the ordinary and at some points flowed over the banks and into peoples back yards. The water back of Jennings grocery store overhowed the banks of the river and advanced to within two feet Of the door. As yet no damage Of any ac- count has been reported. A chicken coop was seen floating down stream with three of it's occupants resting comfortably on the roof of the house. They seemed to enjoy the sail and as they didn't seem to be worried over their future fate nobody went to their rescue. The high tide is caused by the swelling of the brooks and upper streams, due to the heavy rain.
