TWICE TAKE GARCIA
 FUR THE SAME CRIME

The police are convinced that Manuel Garcia is crazy None but a demented man would commit the same crime twice in the same place, after having been discovered in the act of commit ting the first crime. Nor would a per tectly sane individual return to the scene of his previous undoing, after haVlng narrowly missed a penitentiary term through the unwillingness of in tereSted parties to prosecute, and re- peat the infraction of the law which might have sent him over the road for an indeterminate period. At least that is the way the police have reas- oned out the situation with reference to Garcia.
 It was like this:
 Some days ago, or rather nights. Merchants Patrol William P. Bradley discovered Garcia in the Manhattan restaurant. Garcia was clearly in the act of committing a burglary. The manner in which he had effected an entrance indicated this, even if there nad not been the more conclusive evi- dence that he was possessing himself of property not his own. Garcia was arrested and tho proprietor of the restaurant notified. Later he was re- leased when the restaurant man de- clined to prosecute. Before being turned loose he was given a warning.
 And now Garcia is again in the city jail. Again he has been found. in the act of burglarizing the Manhattan restaurant and again it was Patrolman Bradley who rrested him. Garcia thinks his patron saint will come to his aid again, but that remains to be seen, for it is understood the restaur- ant man is in a more prosecutiye frame of mind than he was upon the previous and initial occasion,

tRepublican A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The president of the United States marched on foot through Fifth avenue today at the head of 15,000 soldiers of mercy. Then, standing in the reviewing stand he gravely saluted the colors as the wom- en of the Red Cross filed past, in a seemingly endless line.
 The miles of white gowned women marchers made a mute but heart stirring appeal to the New Workers to controbute one quarter of the s100,000- 900 asked from the nation to carry on the work of relief and succor.
 The great procession in this city was described as "only one of 1,500 pa rades, with 5.000,00O Red Cross work CTS, marching on the same afternoon in the United States"
 Women Courageous
 Footsore and weary before they had gone half the distance given them to cover. the women trudged along as gamely as any column Of regulars. Those with gray hair, and there were thousands of them. marched as bravely as their younger sisters, many carry ing service flag. And they marched amazingly well. Their faces aglow with high resolve, they looked like modern Crusaders.
 IL was known the president would review the parade. but his intention to march at the head of the line had not been announced. Leaving his hotel after taking luncheon with Mrs. Will son, he motored up the avenue until he met the head of the column at Sixty siXtlt street. There he dismissed his car and, flanked by Brig. Gen. George R. Dyer, the grand marshal, and Joseph r. Tumulty. his secretary he took his place at the head of the procession. President cheered by Crowd 1 As the presidents car drove up to 1 the curb he was recognized and a cheer such as the historic avenue | seldom heard. But that was as nothing ] to the deluge of sound that flooded | the street as he stepped out and took | his place. The cheering continued in
 a steady crescendo as he strode down 1 the avenue, doffing his hat and bow l ing 10 the right and left in acknowl- edgement.
 There was another deafening roar as
 Mir. Wilson turned ia at the revolving
 stand at Madison Square. As he was about Co take his seat, a Canadian sol-
 dier in a box seat aside for convales

PITTSBURG. Ia, May 1S.-Probably two hundred men were killed today when an explosion of T. x. T. demol- ished the plant of the Aetna Chemical company at Oakdale, on the Panhandle division of the Pennsylvania railroad l6 miles from here.
 Five hundred workmen were startled at noon by report, not much louder than the crack of q pistol. 1t came from tho soda house, but they knew it's deadly import and they rushed for the nearest exit. Before they could gain the open the air seemed to burst into flames, the earth heavcd and rocked, and with a roar that was heard for miles, the long factory buildings were hurled high into the air. carrying with them ponderous equipment and scores of men. A great cloud of dust and smoke settled over the scene and through It's deadly fumes torn and mangled forms dropped 10 the earth, many dead, but others to meet their end in the flaming debris.
 The number of dead had not been determined tonight and it is possible that it may not be known for days, if indeed it ever will be known. State and county authorities agreed that it would reach 900.
 Many Injured Will Die
 Many of the injured. some of whom were found half a milo from tho rem - nauts of the factory, were brought to Pittshurg hospitals by special trains and in ambulances, all of them SO badly hurt that in only a comparatively few instances were physicians able 10 hold out any hope for their recovery. The property loss was estimated at $l,- 00,000.
 Immediately after the second explo- sion thc mass of broken beams and twisted timbcrs broko out in d great blaze. while the highly inflammable chemicals used in the manufacture of r. x. T. and T. x. A. added fuel to the flames. Blast after blast followed as the heat reached tho tanks each one scattering the burning embers and en- dangering property in the entire con- munity. Noxious gases spread over the valley and surrounding hills, making perilous the work of rescue.
 Traffic Oisorganized
 Telephone and telegraph wires were wrecked by the explosion and tho tracks Uf the Pittsburg, Cincinnati Chicago and st. Louis railroad (tht Panhandle routc) were blocked by tn, falling buildings.
