He THAWED IT OUT
TOpekans Thought Dynamite
Sticks Were Frozen.
AS a Result Two Men Are Seri-
Ously Injured.

While trying to thaw out a stick of
dynamite Friday afternoon two fore
men on county road work, Thomas ].
Hurley and L. w. Thompson, were
badly injured. The dynamite explod-
ed, shattering the bones on one of
Hurley's feet and blowing sand and
gravel into the face and eyes of
Thompson.
The men were working on the hill
just south of Fifteenth street and east
of the bridge over the Shunganunga.
Workmen were blasting on the hill
and the dynamite was frozen. A stick
was placed in a bucket of sand and
placed on or near a fire. The two
foremen superintended the job A
spark from the fire fell in the buck 1t
and Hurley feared it would cause the
dynamite to explode. He turned the
bucket upside down with his foot and
held it down to smother the spark.
The spark or the jar did the business
and the dynamite went off.
Hurley's foot was on the bucket at
the time of the explosion. The bones
in his foot were driven into the fleshy
part of the leg and the leg itself was
badly injured. Thompson was a little
farther away from the blast but his
face and eyes were peppered with
gravel and small stones. Hurley may
lose his foot but physicians who treat
ed him say that unless tetanus de-
velops it is probable that the foot
can be saved
Hurley has been on county road
work here for many years

Berlin. Feb. 12.-By wireless to Say
ville.-The following statement re-
garding the activities of Cardinal
Mercier, primate of Belgium, who is
now on a visit to Rome, was made
public today to the Overseas News
agency:
THE letter which Cardinal Mercier
and the Belgian bishop addressed to
the German clergy on November "a,
1915. (regarding an investigation of
allegations that atrocities had been
committed in Belgium by Germans)
did not reach Cardinal Won Hartmann,
archbishop of Cologne, until January
Z, which explains why it has not been
answered. The general impression pre-
vailing in Germany, however, is that
the letter was inspired entirely by
Cardinal Mercier, whose intransigent
attitude toward the German authori-
ties became manifest on various oc-
sions.
Voice in Congo Affair.
Before the war Cardinal MERCER
was an Influential Belgian politician.
For example, at the time of King
Leopold's death he aided publicly with
the party in favor of Colonial expan-
sion in the notorious Congo affair, de-
manding an increase in the Belgian
army After the occupation of Bel
GUM by German forces the cardinal
preserved a similar attitude, using the

Fire Chief Joseph r. Hanlon today
consented to a plan for a remodeled
auditorium presented to him by ]. c.
Holland, the architect, at a meeting
of the board of directors of the Com
mercial club. Under the plan outlined
by Mr.. Holland, and tentatively adopt
ed by the board, the floor of the audi

new stairways put in throughout the
building and 45-foot extension placed
to the east at a cost of from $50. 900
to $4,000. A gallery will be added
to increase the seating capacity. In
short, the auditorium will be new
throughout excepting the walls and
these the fire chief admitted were
substantial in every respect.
Upon a motion by Charles Trapp,
Mr.. Holland was instructed to prepare
detailed plans and specifications for
the auditorium within week. Then,

COETHALS EXPOSES
CANAL ROBBERY
U. S. Loses Millions in Settlement
of Zone Claims, Says
Ditch Builder.

washington, Feb. 12.-The LIBERAL
ity of various joint land commissions
in settling claims for property taken
in the canal zone has robbed the
United States of millions of dollars,
General Gothals today told the house
interstate commerce committee in urg-
ing the passage of the Adamson bill
to force the commission to settle for
lands on the basis of their value wher
the treaty was entered into with
Panama in 1908, rather than their in
creased value as has been the custom.
All of the land in the ten-mile strip
along the canal subject to claims
would not be worth more than S1,000,-
600 as it's 1903 value, the general said.
but it is likely to cost $17,000,000 or
S1S000,000 at the rates which have
been paid.
THE joint land commission, we
have had several of them, have taken
the ground that as we are a big re-
public and they are rather poor. we
should pay literally for their lands, -
the general said. LAS a consequence
the values have exceeded very much
those of 1908 and as time goes on land
seems to get more and more valuable
Private agreements that were made
for the sale of land to US are abro-
gated and the owners go to the joint
land commission and they get addi-
tional funds from it.
The situation now is rather acute
tIt is rather hard to stay there and
see our government robbed the way it
has been in the past"

TO WE'D A PRINCE HUNTING IN CUBA?
Why Not Whaling in Rockies?
Snaps Colonel 7. r..
Roosevelt OFF to West Indies for
Six Weeks.

New York Feb. 12.-ColoneI
Roosevelt set sail for the West Indies
without saying a word about the res
ignation of Secretary Garrison. with
whom he recently engaged in a bat
tie of letters.
Whatever 1 think about Mr. Gar
rison, his policies. the international
questions the Lusitania and national
preparedness you will find in my new
book, published yesterday" said the
colonel to reporters who met him on
board the Quebec liner Guiana. Il
have nothing else to say"
But the colonel did have something
to say to a reporter who inquired if
he intended ito do a little hunting in
the West Indies?"
A Foolish Question.
Now, that's a foolish question"
snapped the colonel, transfixing the re-
porter with a scornful glance. You
don't go whaling in the Rockies, do
you? Then why try hunting in the
West Indies?"
Thirteen-year-old Marjorie Sparrett,
whose battleship fund drew 81 from
the colonel for his grandchildren and
a letter of approval, rushed down the
pier and was introduced.
Three cheers for you, Marjorie,
from my four grandchildren" He
added, 1 am delighted to see you L
want you to understand that battle
ships and grapdchildrep go together.
We need battleships to protect grand
children"
Marjorie had a toy battleship she
intended to present to the colonel. but
forgot about it in her excitement.
Lusitania Comment.
The colonel volunteered brief
comment o. the Lusitania question.
If a mans wife is slapped in the
face by some other man and he does
nothing about it for nine months. then
1t is of no consequence what he does
after that he said, pounding the air
with his olenched fist.
The colonel said his jaunt to the
West Indies will last five or six weeks
and will be strictly pleasure trip.
