EXPLOSION ON D0RY
 BLOWS BOAT UP AND
 BURNS OWNER BADLY

Harold Hansen. owner of a small dory, was severely burned about the face and hands when an explosion oc- cured on his boat, at the city float last evening about II o'clock.
 MT Hansen was planning to spend the night on the dOry and entered the boat cabin at the stern, walking thru 10 the front with a match in his hand which he struck to light one of the lamps forward. Gas had escaped froH the tank in some manner and upon striking the match, the explosion oc- cured. lifting the roof of the cabin right up in the air and setting fire to the boat which later broke up, sank at the city float, where 1t was tied up. MT. Hansen jumped out of the boat on to the dock, escaping with his face and hands burned and eyebrows and hair singed, and was taken to the hos pital for treatment. He declared this morning, he had been very lucky, for, if the top had not blown off, he would have felt the shock of the explosion much more. Dr. George Dickensen dressed his face and hands and he was able to leave the hospital this morning.

A GIANT AIRPLANE IS BEING COMPLETED
 THAT CARRIES 300

The St. Louis, (Mo) Times says that the final details of an airplane, built to fly without running start, are being worked out by Rev. Thom- as NJ Finley, a Methodist minister, and some engineers in an office ii the Railway Exchange building. The complete machine will be a monster air cruiser capable of carrying three hundred men if necessary, and with the power "a fly straight up in to the air and hover over one spot.
 Two trips to Washington 50 inter- ested the government authorities that the inventors organized a corporation a few weeks ago to build machine to submit to the Government. The big machine will be TOO feet long, 300 feet wide and 80 feet high and is to carry four 300 horse power engines.
 Bishop Hendrix of the Southern Methodist Church was so impressed with the plans that he relieved the Rev MT. Finley of his pastorate at West Plains, Mo, in order that he might put entire time in on the work, sayine nat he would be of greater ben t to humanity in this way.
 It is believed by the packers that the invention will give the United States absolute control of the air
 The Rev C. c. Berry of Valley Park and F. J. Stuart and several other St. Louis men are interested in the s1,000- 900 corporation. The place where the machine is being built and will be tried has not been revealed by the heads Of the company. Flights prob ably will be made this fall, it is an nounced
 Thomas A. Edison was shown the patented plans, the Rev MT. Berry said and is reported as saying the prin- cipal employed is true one. MT. ] Finley got his idea eleven years ago and has always been enthusiastic ! over aircraft.

the day for laughter. and Chicago sup
ported New York's verdict by the six

Additional reasons for the great
clamor for Fair and Warmer was
that Avery Hopwood's Seven Days"
