MANY DROWN IN EAST
FROM FOUR TO TEN PERSONS
PERISH AT LAUNCHING.
Thousands See $50 Plunge Into the
Delaware River at Bristol (Pa.)
Shipyard.

Bristol, Pa, April Between four
to ten persons are believed to be dead
as the result of the collapse of a
temporary scaffolding at the Merchant
Shipbuilding company's yard here dur
ing the launching of the freighter
Waukau.
Nearly $50 persons were standing
on the scaffold at the time of the
tragedy, and most of them were thrown
into the Delaware river.
1t is estimated 145 of these were res
cued.
According to the thousands who had
assembled to see the launching and
were eyewitnesses of the catastrophe,
the scaffolding simply seemed to turn
over like a giant turtle, precipitating
its occupants into % feet of water.
The accident happened exactly four
minutes before the launching was
scheduled to take place. Divers, Bris-
toll and Hartman police and firemen
were soon graphing in the swift water
of the Delaware for the victims, but it
is feared that many we're carried
against the piling of the ways and
docks at the great shipyard, and that
the actual death toll may never be
known.
At the Hartman hospita. it was
stated that preparations had been
made to handle 20 bodies, and it was
said that officials expected the death
toll to reach that number.

APRIL FOOLS DAY.
6y hary Graham Bonner !,!r,.et

at was the first, of April said
Daddy, land everyone thought it would
be great joke to call up the aquarium
on the telephone and to ask for Mr..
Fish.
$50 all day long the telephone was
ringing and after Mr.. Fish was asked
for the person who did the telephon-
Ing would say,
"'April Fool
swell, the fishes splashed and they
said,
"'We give folks a lot of fun. We
help them with their little jokes. All,
Its fine to help play April FOOLS Day
Jokes
"But then they saw that their keep
ers were getting little cross that
they should be called to the telephone
so many times for no reason at all
that they said,
This thing should STOP and they
said this just before the afternoon of
the first of April when it was really
time to stop fooling.
"'Well," said one of the fishes wig
Cling it's fins and its tail, we are going
to have a party here this evening"
az don't know that like that idea
said another fish, for when there are
parties we have to share our food or
at least we should
"'You don't understand about this
party said the second fish, splashing.
Pray let me explain
"'Oh, another kind of a party said
the first fish, and perhaps they will
bring us food instead of making us
give someY
"'You talk like a little pig with a
snout instead of a fish with fms. said
the second fish.
"'Well, l just felt very hungry to-
day. said the first fish.
"'No excuse said the second fish.
"'Well, I'll learn better manners

"You Talk Like a Little Pig"
perhaps said the first fish, after
have been here longer, for you know l
haven't been in the aquarium very
long
1.-THE other fish grinned a silly grin
and its watery eyes looked very fool
ish as it said,
81 notice that you say that per-
haps you may learn better manners.
You are evidently not sure
"'One can't be sure of anything
said the first fish, and least of all of
my manners, of which l only own a
few
You speak of them as though they
were few things you could pick up in
basket said the second fish, splash
ing with amusement.
"'Never mind how 1 speak, said the
first fish, lets go on to another sub
ject.'
""This party said the second fish,
is like one which they had last year.
1t wasn't given quite so early in the
season, but this year they evidently
can waste no time about having
party here.
"The party is called a reception
and many fine and famous people
come to it. They talk and they eat
the food which grown-ups and people
like, chicken salad and ice cream.
"They talk and they have very
dull time. / have never found out
quite why they have these parties here,
for they are so stupid. They have the
aquarium looking very beautiful, all
DECORATED with flags and lights.
"'But those silly people come here
where there are lovely tanks for fishes
and they never even put their hands
in them.
"|To be sure there wouldn't be
room for the people in the tanks, but
doesn't it seem silly to think that they
don't want to get in our tanksT
cit does said the first fish, it
seems like a joke, an April Fools
joke
No. said the second fish, it is past
the time for joking. See! Here they
GOMEZ
"And the fishes who had been there
watched the people hold their recep-
ton in the aquarium. And the fishes
smiled their fishy smiles, and the
fishes splashed their fishy splashes and
said,
""To think of how they live and
breathe and talk and eat out of water.
How queer people arer
"And when the party was over the
fishes shut up shop as they called it
which meant they said goodnight to
each other and didn't begin the bust
ness of talking and eating until the
next day."

Washington, April Eugene v.
Debs' application for re-hearing Of
his appeal from conviction and SEN
tence to ten years Imprisonment for
violating the espionage act was denied
by the Supreme court.
Toledo, o., April 1.-When they
were refused admission by city officials
TO Memorial hall, a city building,
where Eugene V. Debs was scheduled
TO speak, 5000 persons stormed the
place, broke windows and doors, and
then paraded the streets crying, ITO
hell with the mayorI
And all the time Debs was in bed in
a Cleveland hotel, too i'll to appear in
public.
A substitute speaker for Debs ap-
peared about 80 O'clock, but when he
attempted to make an address in pub
lie he was chased away by policemen.
More than seventy-five men were ar
rested, including Thomas Devine, So
cialist member of the city council.
Charges of melting riot were placed
against them, but after 300 policemen
had succeeded in breaking up the
mob the prisoners were all released
without bail.
Announcement that Debs would not
be permitted to speak was made late
Saturday night. after the Socialists
here had prepared to handle an over
flow crowd. The announcement ap-
peared in the morning papers, and was
the first notice the Socialists had that
their meeting could not be held.
When the hour for Debs to speak
arrived there were at least 5000 men
and women cOngregated about the Will
liam Mckinley monument in Court
house park, across the street from Me-
mortal hall.
A man mounted the base of the
monument. "We1l use Memorial hall
this afternoon if we have to wade
through blood to do itr he shouted.
A policeman grabbed him and he was
thrown unceremOniOusly into a patrol
wagon. The man who esSayed to speak
next also was arrested.
AS the crowd sensed what was Oc-
curing the radicals began to boot
and boo the officers. Clubs were drawn
and the crowd was made to move.
Then came the parade through the
streets and cries of Down with the
mayor!" "Hang him." '"TO hell with
the pOlice!" and others of similar
nature.
1t was after five o'clock before the
police were able to dispense the crowd.
Fist fights by the dozen occurred on
street corners. Hotel Hobbies were in
vaded by the malcOntents. Street cars
were held up and threats of serious
outbreaks were to be heard on every
hand.

the order preventing the Debs meet
