TIME BOMB CAUSES
DEATH AND PANIC
FIVE KILLED AND TWENTH-ONE
lNJURED-BUlLDlNGS ARE
WRECKED.

San Francisco,-Five persons were
killed and q were injured in the ex-
plosion of a timed bomb in the course
of a preparedness parade here. 1t was
said the dead may number eight.
The Grand Army of the Republic
was forming at the place where the
bomb exploded. The veterans ap-
peared in the parade unperturbed.
The bomb, made of nails, cartridges
and dynamite, was placed in a suit
case in front of a saloon before which
hundreds of persons were crowded.
The building was wrecked and stores
across the street nearly demolished.
Persons, cut, half blinded, ran madly
through the crowd and others, panic
stricken, stumbled over the bodies Of
the dead and injured, piling up heaps
on the streets.
Warning that an explosion would
occur had been sent out by postcards
to hundreds of persons. Small atten-
ton was paid to the cards, although
every precaution was taken by the
authorities in policing the right of
way.
Veterans of the famous First Call
fornia Volunteers were passing Stuart
Street when the explosion shook the
ground. The blare of bands and the
thunder of drum corps drowned the
thunder of the explosion.
Four men and small girl were
killed. The dead: William Turnbuli,
H. Winner, c. Lawler, L. H. Sanborn,
Alameda. The girl has not yet been
identified.
Blood and flesh, spattered across
the sidewalk and among the specta,
tors, made a hideous spectacle. Many
persons collapsed or fought their way
out The police broke through the
crowd with their clubs and cordoned
the place. The building against which
the bomb was placed was demolished.
The parade was not interrupted.
The bomb, concealed in a suit case
full of cartridges, sprayed the crowd
as with shrapnel Dozens of shells
sprinkled the ground nearby, and the
effective ones did most of the damage.

Capitol case Postponed.

The Caldwell & Drake state capitol
contract controversy hearing has been
continued until August 2 TO give at

from New York engineers who in
spected the building before the con-
tract was Cancelled by the State Capt.
tol Commission. Renton Iunnah, GUS
todian of the capitol, and former
Governor George w. Donaghey, a
member OF the State Capitol Com
mission, are the only witnesses for
the state thus far. I'hs contractors
rested their case two weeks ago. 1t
probably will be two months before
the hearing is completed and trans
Grips placed in the hands of the Board
of Arbitration 10 be reviewed.

Gulf Stream Changed.

New York.-A new theory to explain
the presence of large schools of
sharks along the North Atlantic sea-
board was offered by Capt William
Jensen of the United Fruit steamship
Catamares, which arrived here. He
expressed the belief that the gulf
stream has curved toward the coast
and that tropical fish of every variety
soon will abound in the waters ada
cent to Long Island. Two hundred
miles from New York, Captain Jensen
said, the temperature OF the water was
"A degrees, unusually high for that
latitude.

Petltlon Is Dismissed.

The Arkansas Railroad Commission
dismissed a petition filed by the Lit
tie Rock Lumber and Manufacturing
Company and other concerns alleging
discrimination in rates by the Rock
Island. Several months ago the COM
mission granted to the Camden
branch of the Rock Island permission
to haul freight at a special contract
rate where it was furnished in train
loads. This was done to benefit NAL
vern lumber mills, which had threat
ened to close because they could not
compete with other firms in freight
rates.

MEXICAN SN|PERS
FIRES At MILITIA
MASSACHUSETTS GUARDSMEN
RETURNED FIRE ACROSS
BORDER.
SNIPERS WERE VILLA MEN
The Sooner the Mexicans Learn That
They Cannot Snpe With impunity
the Better 1t Will Be for Both
Sides, Says Gen. Bell.

Ell Paso, TeXas.-Gen Bell notified
Gen. Gonzales, commandant at Juarez,
that his reports indicated that six out
laws, Villa sympathizers, have been
responsible for the recent exchanges
of shots between Massachusetts ma
tional guardsmen in this vicinity and
Mexicans south of the frontier. These
outlaws, Gen. Bells information said,
have a rendezvous on the Island" a
bit of Mexican territory a few miles
below Ell Paso. He suggested that
Gen. Gonzales take steps to break up
the band.
Both Gen. Bell and Gen. Gonzales
continued their investigations of shots
between outposts of the Ninth Massa-
chusetts Infantry and reports that the
Americans had crossed into Mexican
territory. During the day the two
commanders exchanged views several
times through Andres Garcia, Mexican
consul at Ell Paso, with view to elm
mating the sniping below Ell Paso.
Gen. Gonzales and Mr.. Garcia an
nounced that they had protested to
Gen. Bell against the conduct of the
militiamen, who, they SAID, crossed in
to Mexican territory in violation Of
Mexican rights and shot up without
provocation a number of homes on the
Mexican side Of the border.
Gen. Bell said, however, that Mr..
Garcia had communicated with him
by telephone, and that he did not re-
member the conversation in the ma
ture of a protest, but rather a notifi-
cation that the Mexican authorities
were willing to cooperate in every
way to eliminate possible chances Of
friction between the two commanders.
Gen. Bell added that Brig Gen. Le-
roy Sweetzer, commanding the Massa-
chusetts troops, reported that the
Mexicans fired first.
In regard to the protest, Gen. Bell
said:
"Our men have orders to shoot back
when shot at. They will be punished
II they are guilty Of shooting first.
But their instructions are to answer
any fire. And the sooner that the
Mexicans learn that they cannot snipe
with impunity the better it will be for
both sides.
"As to crossing the international
line, if it can be shown that any Of
our men have done so in defiance Of
my orders they will be punished"
Gen. Bell also stated that the Mex-
can authorities at Guadalupe had vol
UNFAIRLY informed him that the two
horses and mules taken from Rey-
nods' ranch, near Fabens, Texas, by
Mexican thieves, will be returned to
the owner.
In his protest to Gen. Bell, Gen.
Gonzales affirmed that no Mexican SOL
diers are stationed in the neighbor-
hood Of the island and that he had no
information Of outlaws or smugglers
being in that region. Gen. Gonzaies
said the Judge of letters OF the Juarez
court has been assigned to make a
thorough investigation Of the shooting
and the reported crossing Of Ameri.
can troops.

WILL INVESTIGATE
BRITISH BLACKLIST
BRITISH EMBASSY AT WASHING
TON is ASKED FOR IN
FORMATION.

WashingtOn.-An informal inquiry
has been made by the State Depart
ment to the British embassy for in
formation concerning the application
of Great Britain's trading with the
enemy act" to American business
firms and corporations.
Facts also are being sought from
the nearly 100 concerns in the United
States which have been placed on the
so-called blacklist under the act 1t
was stated officially at the department
that the government was preparing to
act in defense of American interests
and that the next step would be to in
struct Ambassador Page to request
further information from the British
Foreign Office.
Minister Van Rappard of the Meth
erlands discussed with Acting Secre-
tary Polk Great Britain's so-called
blacklist under the trading with the
enemy act" 1t is understood he was
informed that the United States had
come to no definite conclusion as to
the form of action to be taken as the
result of the appearance of nearly 100
American firms on the list.
The Netherlands considers that its
interests are identical with those OF
the United States and is anxious 10
determine what steps the American
government will take. 1t is said the
Dutch government has made frequent
representations to Great Britain on
this subject in the past, without IA
vorable results.

NO OTHER RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR
COUNTIES ORDERED TO AS
SESS AT FULL VALUE.
AGREEMENT IS PROPOSED
Members Of Tax Commission Admit
That Il Is Doubtful II Such Ar.
rangements Can Be Made After
Ruling of Federal Court

Little Rock
Members of the State Tax Commits
sion say that unless the present reve-
nue. laws are amended the commits
sion cannot remedy the situation
created by the order of federal courts
requiring that all property in certain
counties be assessed at full value in
order to pay the outstanding war
rants,
Chancellor Jordan Sellers OF Nor
rilson said it is the duty of the State
Tax Commission 10 raise the assess
ments on all property in all counties
10 100 per cent, in order to prevent
an injustice to property owners in
Perry and other counties affected by
the orders of the federal courts. These
orders would compel taxpayers in
these counties to pay more than dou-
BILE the amount of state tax to be paid
In other counties where the basis OF
assessment is as low as 20 per cent.
The state tax rates are the same In all
counties.
Members Of the Tax Commission
could suggest only one means OF re-
lief for the counties affected by the
orders OF the federal court. They said
that Garland county was confronted
with similar situation either last
year or the year before-members or
the commission were not certain as to
the date. The Garland county Off
cials entered into an agreement with
the persons who we're suing the coun-
ty by which property was assessed
at full value for county taxes and at
the customary rate for state taxes. AS
a result of this agreement, the suit
against the county was dropped and
the court did not order all property
assessed at full value.
This agreement, of course, was an
informal one and had no legal status.
Members of the commission admitted
that it is doubtful If such an agree
ment can be made after the federal
court has ordered all property assess
ed at its full value as has been done
In Perry county.

Lie Due East of Porto Rico and
Their Value to U. S. Is Strategic
From a Military Viewpoint

Wssbington.-Offcial announcement
WAS made at the White House tha1
negotiations have practically See1
completed for the purchase OF the
Danish West Indies by the United
States from Denmark for S25,OO0,OeS-
A treaty closing the transaction
was signed and sent Immediately 10
the Senate.
While details of the treaty were
not given out, it is understood that
the limited States would come ints
complete possession of the lslands-
Word has been received from Den
mark that the treaty is practically
certain of being ratified by the Danish
parliament and it is understood that
the Washington administration hopes
that it will be ratified at this session
Of Congress.
The three islands of the Danish
West Indies-St. Croix, St Thomas
and St John-lie due east OF Porto
Rico and their value to the United
States is strategic from a military
point of view. The harbors of St
Thomas and St Croix are of hrst
importance to the american navy and
st. Thomas itself lies in the lane or
shipping from Europe to the Panama
Canal. Important German, French
and English mail companies have
coaling stations there.
The acquisition Of the islands by
the United States has been the sub
ject Of unsuccessful diplomatic nego-
tiations since the Civil War and al
one time Denmark offered the islands
for S5,OO0,0OO. The United States
Senate ratified the treaty, but the
Danish Senate defeated it, largely be
cause of the opposition of Danish ariS-
tocrats. which still is said to exist IL
is said that if the proposed treaty iS
ratified by both governments the
transfer will be submitted to the PEG
pie of the islands. In the first nego-
tiation in 1865 they approved Il
change.
The three islands Of ST. Croix, St
Thomas and St. John, in the order or
their size and population, were discov-
cred by Columbus in 1893. Spanish.

flags have foated over one or all ot
