EXPLOSION NRECkS
 ONE SENATE ROOM
Washington Stirred by Explosion in Reception Room Senate.-Gas is Probable Cause.-AuthOrities
 Are Investigating.

Washington, July 2.-An explosion believed to be due to combustion of Illuminating gas occurred in the Sen- ate wing of the capital shortly befor midnight tonight, doing considerable damage. The explosion took place in the senate reception room on the sec ond floor of the building. The floors of the room were flown up but no one was hurt. Authorities immediately began an investigation. The doors of the capitol were closed after the ex- Iplosion and no one was permitted to enter. Some reports said 1t might have been caused by bomb.
 Persons who reached the capitol soon after the explosion occurred said they noticed the odor of burning pow der which persisted fifteen or twenty minutes. Elliott Woods, superintend- ent of the capitol building, Sergeant at Arms Higgins of the Senate and the head of the capitol police, who di- rected the inquiry, refused to give any theory of the cause of the explosion until the investigation was completed.
 First reports of the explosion said that the windows in the reception room had been blown out; that an i'm mense plate glass mirror was destroy ed, and the ceiling and walls torn down. The explosion was heard for several blocks, At the time of the ex- plosion the capitol had been closed since dark and no one was in the build 1 ing except few watchmen on duty and the telephone operator. The watchman in the hall below the re- ception room said he was almost blown from his chair by the force of the blast. He declared no one could have been near the room for hours.

HUERTA CAN'T GO
 FROM U.S.TO MEXICO
Former Dictator Cannot Re-enter Mexico from United States is De- termination of Officials.-De-

Washington, July 2.-The United States is determined that Victoriano Huerta, former Mexican dictator, shall not re-enter Mexico from Ameri- can territory while he may constitute factor for the disturbance of the political or military situation in the southern reprblic.

Empases was laid today on the possi- ble re-arrest of Huerta as a result of the formal request for extradition re- ceived yesterday from the Villa gover- nor of the state of Chihuahua. Should the government fail to prove In the next hearing that Huerta is guilty of violating American neutrali- ty or decide to withdraw it's charges high officials pointed out that he could be re-arrested and held for forty days without bail, pending the receipt of evidence from the Villa authorities.
 Under the American Mexican trea- ty of 1899 it was explained the gov ernor of a border state in either coun- try can make requisition for fugitlves from justice and when their civil au- thority has ceased, military authori- ties can request extradition. This, of ficials said, would cover the present situation without involving the ques- tion of recognizing any civil authori- ty in northern Mexico. Some talk was heard about the possible deporta- tion of Huerta to Spain from which country he came to the United States.

If high freight rates were added to the two years hard times the people have had to face it is unquestionably true that many firms in our state would be unable to stand the strain, and would be forced out of business. Our people would suffer greatly.

turned and dashed out after Long Sin
just as Kennedy picked himself up and
followed.
In the main hall of the apartment house
were two elevator shafts facing the street
entrance, some twenty-five or thirty feet
away. Through the street door the jani-
tor and two OF three other men were
running in. They had heard the noise OF
the fighting above.
Escape to the street was cut off. We
were behind him on the III yht OF stairs
Long Sin did not hesitate a moment
He ran to the elevator, the door OF which
was open. seized the elevator boy and
sent him sprawling on the marble floor.
Then he slammed the door and the ele-
vator shot up.
Kennedy was only a few feet behind,
and he took in the situation at glance.
He ieaped into the other elevator. and
before the surprised boy could interfere
shot It up only few feet behind Long
Sin.
1t was a wild race to the roof Long
Sin had the start, and as the elevator
reached the top floor he flung It open,
dashed out and through a door UP to the
roof itself.
A second later Kennedy's elevator
stopped. Craig leaped out and fired his
last shot at the legs OF Long Sin as he
disappeared at the top of the flight of
stairs TO the roof. He flung the revolver
from him and followed.
without a moments hesitation Ken
nedy threw himself at Long Sin. They
struggled with each other. Finally Long
Sin managed to wrench one arm loose
and raise the Tong axe over Kennedy's
head.
Kennedy lodged back. As he did so
he tripped on the very edge Of the roof
and went sliding down the states of the
mansard.
Fortunately he was able to catch HIM
self In the gutter.
1t was the opportunity that Long Sin
wanted. He started across the rope
which he had stretched from this apart
ment house to the building across the
court. with all the dizziness OF the most
expert Chinese acrobat.
Long Sin had reached the roof on the
opposite side as we ran across in the
direction Of the taut rope.

Chinese dirk concealed under his blouse.
Just then knock sounded at the door.
The secretary opened It and Aunt Jo-
sephine and Elaine almost ran in. Be
fore they knew IL. the secretary had
locked the door.
Where is Mr.. Kennedy" demanded
Elaine.
Long Sin bowed again. spreading out
his hands. palms outward.
Mr.. Kennedy? He Is not here"
Then, Strengthening up. he faced the
two women squarely.
You have ring that means much to
me- he said quickly. THE only way to
get " from you was to bring you here. +"
He was pointing now at the ring on
Elaine's finger. She looked at II a mo-
ment in surprise. then at the manecing
Chinaman. and turned quickly. She ran
to the door. 1t was locked.
Long Sin. motionless. smiled. There
Is no way to get out" he murmured.
Aunt Josephine was standing now with
her bcak 10 the door leading into an
other room. She happened to look UP and
saw the secretary. who was near her and
half turned away. From where she was
standing she could see the murderous dirk
up his sleeve.
She acted instantly. Without a word
she summoned all her strength and
struck him. The secretary stumbled.
Elaine she cried, Took out! They
have knives"
Before Elaine knew Il Aunt Josephine
had taken her by the arm and dragged
her into the back room, and, although
Long Sin and the others had rushed
forward, managed to clam the door and
lock It,
The Cinnamon set to work Immediately
to pry it open.
While they were at work on the door
which was already swaying, Aunt Jose
phine and Elaine were running about try
ing to find an outlet from the room.
There seemed to be no way out. Even
the windows were locked.
IT don't know why they want the ring"
whispered Aunt Josephine, but they
won't get IT, Give 1t TO me, Elaine"
She almost seized the ring, hiding IL
In her waist. AS she did so tho door
burst open and WI, Long Sin and the
other Cinnamon rushed in.
A second later they had seized Elaine
and Aunt Josephine.
Kennedy and / dashed up before the
apartment house in which we knew that
Long Sin lived. leaped out of the car
and hurried in.
1t was on the second floor, and we did
not wait for the elevator. but took the
steps two at time. Kennedy found the
door locked. Instantly he whipped out
his revolver and shot the lock to pieces.
We threw ourselves against the door. the
broken lock gave way ana we rushed In
through the front room.
No one was there. but in a back room
we could hear someone. 1t was Elaine
and Aunt Josephine struggling with the
Cinnamon. Long Sin and the others had
seized Elaine and Aunt Josephine was
trying to help her just as we rushed in.
With blow Kennedy knocked out the
secretary, while j struggled with the
other Cinnamon. who blocked our way.
Then Kennedy went directly at Long
Sin. They struggled furiously.
Long Sin, with his wonderful knowl-
edge Of jiu jitsu, might not have been a
match for six other Cinnamon, but he
was for one white man. With a mighty
effort he threw Kennedy. rushed for the
door, and as he passed through the
outside room seized Tong axe from the
wall.

laboratory as usual.

ergy. Il think we had better get it,"
Elaine had spent rather a sleepless
night after the attempt TO poison her
which had miscarried and resulted in
poisoning Kennedy.
To keep her mind off the thing, she
had already started to take down the
decorations Jennings and Marie, as we'll
as a couple OF workmen, were restoring
the library TO Its normal condition, un-
der the direction OF Aunt Josephine.
The telephone rang. and Elaine
answered it. Her face showed that some
thing startling had happened.

Jennings hurried from the room, and
a moment later Marie had found the
bottle behind some ornaments on the
