Tie Petropavlovsk Blown Up
Ontside Port Arthor, Admiral

With Her.
|
VESSEL SUCK SMIIINE:
St. Petersburg, Russia.?The battle- '
ship Petropavlovsk was sunk by striking
a mine in the outer roadstead j
of Port Arthur. She heeled over, |
turned turtle and went to the bottom, j
The Petropavlovsk was flying the j ,
flag of Vice-Admiral Makaroff. the ! j
naval Commander-in-Chief in the Far I
East, and he went down, with the ves- !
sel. .
Practically the entire crew of the |
battleship, numbering about 700, per* (
ished.
Seven officers, including the Grand i
Duke Cyril, and thirty-two men, were [
saved. All ttiese, including the Grand (
Duke, were more or less injured.
According to the first accounts, the r
Petropavlovsk sank as she was going i i
out to meet the Japanese fleet, which | f
appeared oft' Port Arthur in the morn- s
iug. It now appears that she met !
with disaster as she was returning I r
with the other warships after it had J c
been ascertained that the euemy had i s
been strongly reinforced. j

maneuvring in tbe harbor of Port j
Arthur. Tuis increases tbe consterua- I \
tiou here. | t
According to a report the Petro- | o
pavlovsk struck a mine on her star- j o
board side amidships and immediately
began to heel. Before tbe crew could | *
flood the port compartments of the : c
vessel in order to keep her on an even i:
keel, she turned turtle and sank in a
few minutes. ?
Captain Jakoileff, the Grand Duke v
Cyril, and two other officers were 9
saved, because they were standing on ' c
the upper bridge. The frightful loss u
of life among the officers anil men was
due to the fact that they were all at a
their stations ready for action. ?
The Petropavlovsk turned turtle in 5

ship Victoria, winch was rammed by, ;>
the Camperdown in 18!)3. In the Chino- t:
Japanese War a Chinese warship also *
turned turtle, many of the crew remaining
alive for several days, ham- p
mering desperately on the upturned j ?
hull. i y
The awful disaster at Port Arthur s
has been a territic blow. It would
have fallen less heavily if the ship and
the Commander-in-Chief of the fleet ?
had been lost in battle, but to be the [ 5
result of another accident, following : 3
upon the heels of a succession of trag- j ||
edies of which the Port Arthur fleet 1
has been the victim, it has created j 0
something like consternation.
What occurred prior to the blowing j]
up of the flagship is only vaguely ft
known, except that Admiral Makaroft, 3
with his flag flying on the doomed ves- f,
sel, sailed out to engage the enemy 3
until his reinforcements appeared. It a
is thought possible that Admiral Togo ^
planned an ambuscade by sending in a j j
small squadron in the hope of drawing |
out the Russian commander to the 1 >
- - ~ !
open and then cutting mm on. i f
Vice-Admiral Makaroff's death is -r
really a greater loss than would be j 'i
that of several battleships. He was j ?
the pride of the navy and enjoyed the y
implicit confidence of his sovereign as 3
well as of the officers and men of the n
service. y
It is now an open secret that Admiral 1
Makaroff was not anxious to resign j p
his command at Kronstadt, which ne- | q
cessitated his leaving his wife and . n
family, but the Emperor held such a 15
high opinion of him that he declined ! 5
to consider other candidates, although ^
it was pointed out that Rear-Admiral D
Rojestveusky, Chief of the General |,
Staff of the Navy, who has just been a
appointed to command the Baitic 1 0
squadron, and who is now destined to i ?
succeed Makaroff. as well as others, ^
were anxious to distinguish them- j g
selves. As Admiral Rojestvensky will ! p
go to the Far East, Vice-Admiral : j,
Skrydloff, commander of the Black Sea . j
fleet. will be placed in command of the i
Baltic squadron.
It is stated that Viceroy Alexieff will |
assume command of the naval forces j

Makaroff is believed to have been in j
the conning tower when the Petrc- i
pavlovsk was blown up. Grand Duke ; ^
Cyril probably owes his life to the fact f ^
that he is a tine athlete and a splendid ^
swimmer. His escape is regarded as ^
almost miraculous.
At the moment of the explosion an
aide shouted to Grand Duke Cyril to g
jump into the sea. The aide was i s
killed. i ^
The disaster has stunned the city, j j
The loss of Admiral Makaroff is felt j
to be a more severe blow than the loss j
of the ship. The consternation far ex- j
ceeds that produced by the initial mis- j
fortunes of the war. The Russians | '

EXPLOSION ON MISSOURI
Five Officers and Over a Score or Seamen
Killed on U. S. Battleship.
A TWELVE-INCH GUN BURSTS

While Ihe Crow Were at Tarjjet PrWctice

a Second Cliarjje.
I
P?asacol?i, Flu.- By the explosion of !
2000 pounds of powder in (he after
tweive-inch turret and the handling
room of the battleship Missouri. Captain
William S. Oowles. brother-in-law
of President Roosevelt, commanding,
twenty-nine men were instantly killed
and five injured. Five of the dead
were officers of the battleship.
The Missouri was on the target range
with the Texas and Brooklyn at practice
when a charge of powder in the
twelve-inch port gun ignited from
?ases, exploded, and, dropping below,
ignited four charges of powder in the
handling room, all of which aiso ex
Jiouea.
Only one man of the eutire turret and
handling crew survives.
But for the prompt action of Captain
"owles in flooding the handling room
ind magazine with water one of the
magazines would probably have ex>loded
and the ship would have been
lestroyed.
According to a report after the first
winter of the after twelve-inch piece
lad fired his string and the second
jointer had fired the third shot of his
string, the charge ignited.
The fourth shot was being loaded,
ind from all indications the first half.
)? the charge had been, and the second
lection was being rammed home, when
jases from the shot previousiy fired
>r portions of the cloth cover ignited
he powder. The breech was open and
i dull thud gave notice of something
inusual.
No loud report was made, but flames
vere seen to leap fro{m every portion of
he turret. .A few seconds later anchor
explosion, somewhat more fierce,
iccurred.
This was in the handling room below
rhere 1600 pounds of powder, or four
harges ready to be hoisted above, had
united.
Iu less than five seconds after the
irst explosion two streams of water
/ere being played into the rooms, and
vhen volunteers were caiiea lor every
nau of the ship responded, eager to go
nto the turrets and rescue the crew.
Captain Cowles save his commands,
nd but for his presence of mind and
bat of the officers of the ship, the Misouri
would probably have gone down,
'he second explosion occurred near
ne of the magazines, and so hot was
lie fire that th{? brasswork of tli? mag
zines was melted.
Smoke and the fumes of th* burned
owder made it almost impossible to
nter either the turret or handling
oom. but officers and men, with band,
erchiefs over their faces, made efforts
5 rescue the men inside.
The twenty-five men of the turret
rere found lying in a heap. They had
tarted for the exit when the first exlosion
occurred and had just reached
liere when the more terrible explosion
1 the handling room occurred which
timed and strangled them to death.
The bodies were hardly recognisable,
lie flash of fire having burne<j clothing
rom the bodies of the men. while their
esh hung from them in shreds. Th*
ices were mutilated by the flames
nly. Only one man was breathing

GREAT 10SS By DISEASE
i Preventable Sickness Costs New
I
York State Millions.
CANCER'S RAVAGES INCREASE
894,960,000 Worth of Liven Wasted, So
Health Commissioner Lewis Argues
In Report to Governor?Over 13.000
Persons Died Unnecessarily Last Year
?Food Extensively Adulterated.
Albany, N. Y.?In his annual report
to the Governor State Health Commissioner
Lewis says that the most conspicuous
feature of the sanitary condition
of the State during 1903 was the
epidemic of typhoid fever, which pre
vailed to an alarming extent at Ithaca
and at West Seneca, near Buffalo, and
points out that there is evidence to
prove that similar conditions to those
at Ithaca and West Seneca menace the
public health .of many municipalities
of the State to^day as well as numerous
health resorts, which are extensively
patronized by citizens of other
States besides New York.
Millions of dollars, the Commissioner
asserts, are annually lost to the people
of the State through preventable diseases.
"If the monetary value of a human
life is assumed to be $5000," he
says, "the deaths from but five of tie
preventable diseases during 1903 in
this State represent a loss of $94,900,000.
These figures seem appalling, and
yet millions upon millions can properly
be added to this sum, in loss of
wages, expense of the care of the sick,
and many other expenses incidental to
the management of these epidemic and
iiiisi'uuus uisirases.
The deaths from the five preventable
diseases referred to by Dr. Lewis were
as follows: Pulmonary tuberculosis.
13,194; diphtheria, 3056; typhoid fever,
1665; scarlet fever, 1057; smallpox. 41;
total. 18,992.
The Commissioner says that the paltry
$20,000 a year which is available
for the purpose of a systematic supervision
of water supplies, sewer systems
and drainage, that they may be
remedied where danger exists, is too
small to meet the required conditions
and enforce the law. A. new bureau of
water supply and drainage in the
Health Department is recommended.
Immediate action is urged, as a serious
epidemic now in progress has exhausted
the available funds.
The chemical department made analyses
of sixty-nine samples of food and
fifty samples of water. Of the food
twenty-two samples, or thirty-two per
cent, were found adulterated. Only
such articles as were considered liable
to adulteration of some kind were col
lecled for examination. It was found
that considerable kerosene oil of inferior
and very dangerous quality was
being sold in violation of law.
In the report of the cancer research
laboratory is the following: "The past
year has not been characterized by
any marked discoveries which can be
safely announced to the world, but has
been marked by a steady, earnest, and
even laborious study along the lines of
investigation." The deaths from cancer,
according to the monthly bulletins
of the department, show an increase of
about 500, or ten per cent, over the total
number the previous year.
The vital statistics of 1903 show a
State death rate of 17.6 per 1000 population
and a birth rate of 21.8. "With
as close a registration of births as
there is of deaths, no doubt the true
birth rate would exceed twenty-flve
per 1000 population." says the report.
In 1003 there were indexed and tiled
S9.067 birth certificates. 48.07G deaths
and 21,276 marriage certificates.
From the small number of reports of
examinations of eyesight of 6chooi
children received from school principals,
14.1 per cent, were shown to have
defective vision.

the murder of John Thomas,,
the aged night watchman in the Houston
Club of the University of Pennsylvania,was

is a West Indian negro and says he is
a native of Jamaica.
Gibson was arrested in his home and
denied all knowledge of the crime, but
later broke down and confessed. Selfdefense
is his plea. Gibson says he
went to Houston Hall to call on

IT KILLS TYPHOID GERMS j
I
Department of Agriculture Makes a
Remarkable Discovery.
Bordeaux Mixture Will Purify Stagnant '
Water and Bring Death to Malarial
i Microbes and Mosquitoes.
[ Washington, D. C.?A great blessing
to mankind and a long stride toward ' '
the improvement of public health has I
just been made by an expert in tbe j
Department of Agriculture, who has
discovered that typhoid fever, malarial j
fever and mosquitoes can be exter- !
minated absolutely. ;
The solution from which such great ;
benefits can be derived is called the j
Bordeaux mixture. It is a preparation
of copper sulphate, lime and i !
water. With it the water systems of !
great cities can be purified, and stag- J 1
nant and offensive pools cau be made ! ]
as clear as crystal. It has been discov- |
ered that the utilization of the solution i '
will exterminate typhoid fever germs ' '
in drinking water, destroy malarial {
germs in stagnant pools and marshy ]
places and also destroy mosquitoes. ,
The solution has been used for many
years in spraying trees to kill insects
and diseases, but the recent discoveries 1
by the Agricultural Department show i
that its power for good is far more ex- '
tended. 1
In his experiments the expert of the
department also discovered tnac tne 1
presence of Bordeaux solution iu the <
water had no bad effect upon those
who drank it; that the typhoid germs
were destroyed absolutely within an <
hour.
The boards of health in New York I
and Boston are now experimenting ' '
with the solution, and it is believed the i
water supplies of both cities will be '
purified at small expense. I
The solution is so cheap that its "cost I
is hardly to be counted as against; the
great ekpense which cities have with- 1
stood in the past in their efforts to <
purify their water. Some of the larger j
cities have spent from $25,000 to $30,- J
000 in pumping air to clean out their '
reservoirs. Failures invariably fol- '
lowed these expensive experiments. 1
Where the Bordeaux solution was applied
the reservoirs were cleaned sue- '
cessfully and promptly at an expense I
of only $400 or $500. f
Experiments have also been tried on
some of the breeding farms in the Blue j
Grass regions of Kentucky. Drinking j
pools in which the slime was so thick >
it could be cut with a knife were (
cleaned absolutely and the water left '
clear and palatable by the use of the <
solution. 1

' Thf? pnemv's nosition was broken i
through at nightfall, after eight hours'
fighting, and the enemy was driven 1

PAGE BURDEB CASE ARREST
Former Railroad Man Taken Into
Custody.
EVIDENCE IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL
Charter I?. Tucker, 3 Resident of Aa?
burndale, Charged With the Harder
?Police Find Knife Uaed by SlayerEvidence
of a Severe Struggle in Miss
Page's Room.
Boston. Mass.?Charles L. Tucker, a
young man living in Auburndale, and
formerly employed as a ticket agent by
the Boston and Albany Railroad, was
arrested on the charge of murdering
Miss Mabel Page at her home in Weston
about noon on March 31. The arrest
was made by Chief Joseph E.
Shaw and General G. E. Whitney, of
the State police.
Tucker was found at the home of his
no rnn fa rtri fVi tt?h arv-\ hn ao . YXM-? nr?
?UU nruvui uc iCOlUCOt ?T JiCU
General Whitney reached the house,
the sou was asked to go to the Newton
police headquarters. He went
along willingly, aud after being questioned
by the police at the station was
charged formally with the crime and
locked in a cell. He took his arrest
coolly and declared that he was innocent.
Tucker was the first and only person
who has really been suspected of this
crime which has mystified everyone.
He was taken to the Newton police
headquarters and subjected to a
searching examination as to his movements
on the day of the murder. So
satisfactory were his explanations then
that the detectives allowed" him to go
liome.
It is now learned that Tucker's release
was a mask to the real suspicions
sf the detectives, and that they had
found his story did not hang together.
For a week they have been working
ilong lines which pointed to Tucker
is the man who stabbed Miss Page to
leath.
So far as known the evidence against
rucker is circumstantial, but to the
police it must have appeared very
jtrong when they arrested him.
The police have found what they believe
to be the weapon with which
Mabel Page was murdered on March.
Jl. It is part of a large Swedish
claspknife found in the Tucker house,.
t>roken, not discovered in Charles Tucker's
own room, but in another part of
the house. The knife is of a peculiar
pattern. The officers showed it to
tucker and he admitted that it was his
property.
It developed also for the first time
that there must have been some sort
)f a struggle, and that the murderer
must have intended to remove the
:lothes from his victim. When found
the body had on a hat, but no- skirt,
rhis skirt had evidently been dragged
from the body after the death blow
svas dealt. The skirt was found in a
corner of the room, wbere it had been'
thrown by some other than Mabel
Page. The belt was still around the
waist and the front buckle was broken,
FOUR KILLED BY GAS EXPLOSION
Pintsch Plant in Washington Unroofed
Owing to Leak in Pipes.
Washington, D. C.?Four men were
killed in an explosion in the Pintsch
Gas Compressing Company's plant in
Southwest Washington.
Stephen Hanson. Joseph Cumberland
tnd an unknown negro were killed outright.
and Charles W. Grigsby died in
the Emergency Hospital. His injuries
were the result of an heroic attempt to
rescue his comrades. He rushed into
the engine room, and catching the arm
of Cumberland, who was buried in the
debris, tried to drag him out. The
flames rapidly enveloped Grigsby, but
he released his hold on Cumberland
only after the arrival of the firemen.
He told the hospital physicians the
disaster was caused by the gas becoming
too high and the inability of the
men to find the leak.
The explosion caused $2000 damage
to the building; covered by insurance.
Henson was the engineer and was
fifty years old. Cumberland was the
fireman, and was twenty-eight years
old. Cumberland. Henson, Grigsby
and Warren Hostman, an employe,
who was blown some distance and
stunned, but quickly recovered, had
been ou duty all night.
POLYGAMISTS ARE WORRIED.
Many Who Have Taken Additional
Wives Fear Action Against Them.
Salt Lake. Utah. ? Consternation
reigns among the Mormons who have
recently taken plural wives, as a result
of the declaration against polygamy
made by President Joseph F. Smith
and adopted by the- Church at its genera!
conference.
A large number of Mormons hare
taken additional wives recently. It is
charged that President Smith gavetacit
encouragement to this, even performing
one plural marriage himself,
that of Abraham H. Cannon to Lillian
Hamlin Cannon, his brother's widow,
on the high seas, between San Pedro,
Cal., and Catalina Island, in 18%\
The fear now among certain Mormons
is that this may be applied to all
who have taken olural wives since the
manifesto of 1890. President Smith,
Apostle Francis M. Lyman and others
of the Church leaders expressly stated
that this was no new thing, hut merely
a reaffirmation of the former policy.
Already some who are suspected of
having recently entered into polygamy
have disappeared.
