SHOOK COUNTRY FOR MILES
Far-Reaehlng Result Of Explosion at
Diamond Mines Near Kimberley,
South Africa.

The strictest precautions are neces-
sary In storing and handling the ex-
ploslves that are used in the diamond
mines of South Africa. The need of
such stringency was emphasized by
an explosion that wrecked dozen
magazines near the compound of the
Victoria Mining company three years
before Mr.. Gardner II. Williams as
sumed the management Of the De
Beers company. In his book, THE
Diamond Mines Of South Africa" MFR.
Williams describes the result of the
explosion:
"The shock was felt from DutoItspan
to the farthest limits Of the west end
of the camps, and terror-strlcken peo-
pie rushed out Of their houses to see
vast heavlng cloud of smoke rising
hundreds Of feet into the sky
"The magazines were dashed to
pieces, as the Kimberley papers re-
ported, by the terrible power of the
explosives. In most instances the gal
vanized iron was broken into tiny
atoms as II by myriad hammers, and
cartridges were scattered far and
wide through the debris. exploding in
volleys or In scattering blasts for
many minutes after the explosion. One
large stone was thrown as far as the
Central company's offices, distance Of
two miles, and smaller ones to the
west end, three miles from the maya
zines. In the most distant parts OF
the camp there was a startling break
age OF windows, lamps and chande-
liers; and the hotel bars and canteens
were so heavily pelted that the floors
were swimming with what we might
call dynamite cocktail, liquid com
posed Of every liquor under heaven,
from Cape Smoke to HeIdsleck and
Pommery. Witnesses Of the explosion
thought that hundreds of people had
been killed and injured; but almost
miraculously, as II seemed, only two
persons were killed, one a white the
other q black"

MONEY FROM VARMINT' SKINS
Uncle Sam Got Neat Little Pickup 40
Result Of the War
AoaInst Pests.

The money farmer gets for Wild
animal skins Is always comparative
ly small sum, representing decided
ly minor side line. But Uncle Sam
received $4,000 last year as the price
of the wild-anlmal skins he had taken
during the year as by-product Of just
one phase OF his agricultural opera
tlons-the war against predatory anil
mails on the range land Of the West.
The killing OF the animals from which
the skins were taken will result In
the saving Of millions of dollars
worth of live stock to the sheep and
cattle men Of the range country. The
predatory animal determination work
Is done by the bureau OF biological
survey Of the department Of agricul-
ture. Expert hunters and trappers
are employed. The skins OF all the
animals they capture or kill must be
sold and the money turned into the
United States treasury. Nor are the
hunters or trappers permitted to ac-
cept bounties. But there is not tho
same temptation in that respect that
there used to be. for since the govern.
ment hunters and trappers have been
ION the Job" their work has been so
obviously successful that the states
either already have done away with
the old bounty system or are planning
to do so. The money formerly paid
out In bounties is being appropriated
in many states for cooperative work
with the department Of agriculture,
with vastly better results as to num-
Der of predatory animals destroyed.

WILLING TO ADMIT ANYTHING
Owner Of Winning Dog Evidently Had
Heard Of the Efficacy Of
Soft Answer.

A retired prIzefghter amused him
self by keeping fighting dogs, which
he encouraged to quarrel with other
dogs for the sake of the pleasure Of
witnessing the encounter, and It was
his boast that no dog OF his was ever
beaten. One day, however, when out
for walk with one Of his favorite AMI
mails dog was met which proved too
good for that Of the prizehghter. The
combat was brief but decisive, and the
pride of the owner OF the defeated dog
was deeply wounded. He was furious.
"Dld you see the ightT' he said to

Hall Dozen Sponsors Now

A word may be said as to new GUS
toms which have come into force at
society christenlngs and marriages,
says Gentlewoman, London. In old
days baby usually had three god
parents--a boy two godfathers and one
godmother, and girl two godmothers
and one godfather But nowadays
there are often six or seven sponsors,
and these in varying proportions. And
presents were formerly limited to sill
yer cups or spoons and forks from the
godparents or near relations. But now
costly gifts are given not only by
sponsors. but by many Of the guests
at the christening. Checks for a good
sum are often given; a pearl necklace
is frequent gift, or sometimes one
or two big pearls are presented, with
the promise of more to follow on birth
days or at Christmas In this way u
valuable necklace is gradually formed,
to be completed when the lucky girl
makes her debut or when she marries
The chief change in weddings Is the
fact that some Of the smartest now
take place in the country and not In
London.

New Variety Of Tea.

The latest New York fad is "the
splash tea" II is different from the
pink and tango kind In that It Is served
In swimming pool. The require.
ments Of the newest tea party are
that one must be able TO swim out to
the center of the pool with one hand,
balancing the tray with tea things
above the water with the other. Ones
most proficient guests must swim about
the tray and take their cups. Then
tea Is poured, sweetened, favored,
stirred and drunk. Splash teas are
never served less than six feet deep.
That means that there will be no

SOVIET THIRD DECREE
WORSE THAN Death,
, SAYS BROOKLY N:MAN
(By Associated Press)


REVAI. ESTHONIA. May 13.-The
worst phase of imprisonment in Mos
COW is not the possibility or probable
ity Of execution but the daily attempts
made to wiring confessions from the
prisoners, says DR.. Morris Fucker, a
Brooklyn Communist, who arrived
here this month after having served
four months in the Russian jails. Some
Of his experiences and observations
have previously been made public
Fucker sentenced in New York in 1919
to 60 years Imprisonment for sedition
but was deported instead
Speaking of the life of the prison
crs in the principal political prison
at Moscow which is called the
20. o. ", he said, the daily third
degree to which prisoners are subject
cd If they are suspected of a serious
political crime is worse than execu-
zion. These prisoners are taken every
day, if their captors think there is a
chance of wringing a confession from
them, into the questioning room. There
whether they have anything to confess
or not, they are commanded to reveal
the truth
Death is Threatened.
THE commissar puts a revolver to
the prisoners head confess, or I'll
shoot he says. The prisoner waits
for the shot. He never knows whether
it is coming Or not.
This process is often repeated until
the prisoner will confess rather than
undergo any further ordeals, in which
case he is shot anyway"
The mental condition of these prison
ers becomes such that they would
he
Brooklyn Communist says that he met
in the various prisons OF Moscow 20
of the radicals deported from America
and that he could well understand why
the Bolsheviki arrested them, for
they we're chiefly anarchists who did
not believe in any government par
ticularly in a government so distator-
ial as that maintained by the Boil
sheviki."
Fucker said he found in prison also
the president of the Turkestan Soviet
republic. Mohammed Hadjiz, General
Alex Gertor. once commander of the
Russian South Western front, eight
members Of the executive committee
of the right wing Of the Social Revo-
lutionist Party, three members Of the
executive committee of the left wing
of that party. including Mayorieff, who
was CCmmlSSdr or Agriculture III
1918 and also a former minister Of
ecclesiastical affairs, VI. Samaun.
Fucker described the summoning Of
prisoners for execution in much the
same way as did Schwartz. the San
Francisco Communist, who came out Of
Russia, some months ago. He added
that executions we're going on as late
as March 81, and declared there had
heen no diminution of the red terror
in Russia.
