Four to Ten Men Killed
When Big Baltimore
Elevator Burns.
BOMB PLOT THEORY
WILL BE PROBED
More than Forty Persons In
jured and Two Grain Steam-
ers Badly Damaged.

Baltimore, June 13.-Pennsylvania
Railroad elevator No on the harbor
front at Canton, a suburb. was burned
to-day, with loss of life conserva-
lively estimated at from four to ten
men and injuries to more than forty
others. Most of the victims were Gle
vator employees and cargo trimmers.
Three of the injured were in a critical
condition tonight.
Two steamships Wilem Van
Dricl, ST., a Dutch vessel, and the
British steamer Welbeck Hall-loading
grain at the elevator, were badly dam
aged by fire. and wreckage dropped
on them from the elevator.
The flames spread to an ore pier
next to the elevator, badly damaging
it. Several strings of grain cars in
the elevator were burned.
May Have Been a Bomb.
While the fire is thought TO have
been due to an explosion of grain dust,
the theory is advanced that II may nave
been caused by bomb. This theory
will be investigated, 1t is said.
The blast blew out the 90-foot tower,
or upper elevator, and in an instant
the whole building was ablaze.
Conservative estimates place the loss
at more than 100000. This repre-
sents the cost Of the elevator. The
damage to the two ships, ard the valre
OF grain In the elevator and aboard the
vessels. About 100000 bushels Of
wheat, oats, barley, rye and buckwheat
were destroyed.
Many Narrow Escapes.
Scores of men barely escaped with
their lives. Thirty-four grain handlers
and stevedores who were in the hold
of the Welbeck Hall, fought their way
to freedom over the piles OF grain.
Gaining the deck, they found their way
TO shore cut off by the flames. Some
Ct them jumped overheard and were
PICKED up. Launches ran alongside and
took off the others.
Two gangs of grain handlers impris-
oned on the Willem Van Driel for
time made a dash across the elevator
wharf TO safety. They were skswered
with sparks and burning wood and
only few escaped unscathed. The
charred bodies of two men were found
in the hold Of the Van Driel tonight.

TO the roof, he exclaimed: i shingled
that during the hot spell in July, 1914,
and if the weather holds up I'm going

or course, that doesn't mean that the
reporter actually got up there and
shingled the roof. He meant that he'd
drunk enough beer during July 10 pay
for having the shingling done, and
that's what he meant, too, about having
il repainted. Lipton's is a saloon
where The Tribune reporters go. You'd
better not use that Ii would be too
local for you. OF course, you should
dress that up for your readers by writ

There are six OF seven New York fell
lows out here that we could have hung
il on, but sometimes that makes hard
feeling. Anyway, most of them have
done a lot more for Mr.. Haig and his
brother than they ever did for Busch.
Here's something that ought to hit
you right. After putting in the stuff
about the fellow that shingled Busch's
barn, you could say, For my part, |

know where you stand on the drinking
business.

he's got some new stuff that looks
like beer and tastes something like it,
and isn't beer at all. They call it Bevo,

look as if you were advertising it, and,
as matter of fact. il tastes like the.

time writing stories about Judge Priest

and he wrote a play once where they
brought juleps on and said lot Of
nice things about them and drank them,
but to-day somebody asked him to have
a mint julep and he replied right away,
mo, thanks; ! never drink them"
That's about all there is except the
weather. You're dead right. 1t isn't
the heat, and 1t Is the humidity.
We're back in our room now, and
Mr.. Bryan's typewriter is r..ttling along
at great rate. 1t might be well to
take look. His yarn begins:
"The first thought of the delegates
as they assemble is how to make sue
cess at the polls more certain. They
have been quick to see the advantage
to be gained by an appeal TO the Pro-
gressive vote. From now until Elec-
ton Day the season will be open. so to
speak, for the hunting of Progressives."
We thought it was news he wanted.

SHEPARD'S SON

Finley, Jr., Romps in Grass
War with Boy Who May

Finley J. Shepard, jr, and Louis, who
may some day be turned into his foster

looked surprisingly alike as they rolled
in the freshly cut grass yesterday at
Lyndhurst, Mrs. Helen Gould Shepsrds
estate at Irvington -on-the Hudson.
Louis is the fve-yesr-old founding
who has been visiting Finley, jr., for
the last month, joining him in his daily
exercise and play. With the other
fve-year-old visitor, Helen, also a
founding, he has been trying to show
Finley, jr., what real brother and sis
ter are like.
Dressed exactly alike in brown knick.
ers, with tan and white striped blouses,
the golden haired youngsters romped
together, unconscious that Louis's fut-
ure depended on his continued ability
to chum with Finely, jr. Near by,
Helen, who may become Finley's sister,
solemnly batted tennis ball, trying TO
initiate Miss Helen Gould, who was
playing with a governess on the court a
few feet away.
Helen did not Join in the tumbling
game Of the TWO boys, who raced over
the lawn, then stopped to cover each
other with new-mown grass, until only
a smiling face, with roguish blue eyes,
was visible. Excepting a slight diff
ference in height, the boys might cas-
lily be mistaken for twins. In his play
Louis exhibited that same sweetness
which so drew the hearts of Mr.. and
Mrs. Finley J. Shepard TO John Doe

At Mr. Shepard's Office, 100 Broad
way, it was learned that at present
nothing was being done toward adopt
ing the little boy and girl. Mr.. Shep-

panions for their foster son, as they
thought il unwise to bring up any
child without playmates, preferably
sisters and brothers.

Cures "Prove" Him To Be
Reincarnation of Prophet,
Schlatter Tells Court.
CULT PAPER CURSES
WOMAN DETECTIVE
Miss PRESS, Who Had Divine
Physician Arrested, To Be
Terribly Stricken.

Francis Schlatter. the aged Divine
Healer, who is under indictment in Los
Angeles with Bishop August Schrader
and the Rev. August Algard on charges
OF using the mails to defrsud, took the
witness stand before United States
Commissioner Houghton yesterday and
proclaimed himself a second Moses. He
testified in the proceedings to send him
back to California.
MY many cures prove me to be the
reincarnation Of that great one" he
said. "Bshop Schrader is a prince
the personal ambassador Of Christ"
Don't you use handkerchief in
your work of healing?" asked Frank
NJ. Roosa, Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney.
"Only as John and Peter used blessed
aprons"
Didn't you take up divine healing as
a means of livelihood ?"
"No, because ! was born with the
power of healing. II | only make q
living curing the afflicted am satisfied.
Whatever Is left beyond the living is
sent by Algard to Oakland for church
work"
The healer admitted his church had
no connection with the regular Bap-
fist denomination. He could not re-
member the names of its trustees.
Schlatter admitted he regarded The
Rams Horn" a Pacific Coast publica-
ton, as the organ of his church. He
said it was the sort of paper that
Christ would publish II on earth, and
held to that contention after Mr. Roosa
had read an advertisement from it
This was an offer TO send twelve best
local views" for ten cents, and along
with it-"Free"- Burglar and the
Old Maid; Sure to Please"
Paper Curses Woman Detective.
"Do you think Christ would publish
an advertisement like that" Roosa de-
manded.
Eyes; we have to have advertise
ments," the healer assented, placidly.
The prosecutor then read an editorial
article calling down the wrath OF the
heavens upon Miss Adele D. Preiss,
who caused Schlatter's arrest.
"May the curse Of the 109th Psalm
be upon her." it read. "She shall get
lame, blind, deaf and dumb. and the
demons of hell will not give her any
rest, neither night nor day, that every
step of her life shall be but curse"
Schlatter said Bishop Schrader prob
ably wrote the curse"
would you curse me" asked Roosa.
eyes, II were commanded 70 do so
from on high"
Algard, who followed Schlatter on
the stand, said the healer worked his
miracles on from thirty to hundred
persons each day. A thousand were
treated, he said, during recent mis-
sion" here.

st. Louis. June William Jen-
nings Bryan has the room next door,
and. though we hate to tell on fellow
newspaper man, the fact is he did not
get in last night until after ~ mid
night.
But he is in good time tonight. He
has just begun 70 pound away at the
typewriter. Now he's slowing up. Evil
IDENTIFY he is getting stuck just the way
we are. There hasn't been a sound in
there for ten minutes. Maybe We ought
to tip him off TO take some Irwin Cobb
story and dress it up by writing "a
delegate from Alabama says"
Or he could lift that story Frank
OMalley wrote last week and fix UP a
little josh yarn about their mailing up
the welkins on the roof of the conven-
tion hall.
Then, if he likes picture stuff, ne
might get something o1t of Colonel
William VI. Fairman, of Punxsutawney,
Penn. who is eighty years old and
dresses in trick clothes and is just full
OF "reminiscences about this and that.
As like as not, too, Mr.. Bryan hasn't
heard how Ring Lardner called up Sec,
rotary Daniels at 1880 A. NJ. and SAID
he was from "The South Bend News
and wanted an interview. He ought to
be able TO do something with that.
BRYAN should; he can appreciate II be-
cause he knows Daniels.
Outside that there is not much but
the possibility of making some kind OF
Joke about Dick Kinsella. Dick is
going to be the assistant doorkeeper at
the convention, and he's also scout FOR
the Yankees, so there's a chance TO
work up something about ivory. OF
course that's just the bare idea. It'll
sound much different when its fixed up.
Not a tap from the other room. Bry-
an seems dead on his feet. Maybe he
could use something about the party
for the visiting newspaper men at the
Anheuser Busch place. 1t wasn't over
till late, even though 1t did happen
Monday. He's welcome to anything
we've got. We might let him look at
il.
Here you are, Mr.. Bryan:
There is something in that proverb
about casting your bread upon the
waters. At any rate a number Of re-
porters were entertained yesterday on
the Anheuser Busch estate"
You see, the point of that Is this:
Busch-you've heard of him-makes
beer, and some of the reporters drink
beer. And then it goes on:
"a New York reporter gazed with
unfeigned admiration at the expansive
lawns, the flowers and the trees, but
when he viewed the barn he could no
