HAY HAPPEN ANY TIME
lieateuuit Arthur C. Oiffee and
Throe Other Member* of the Gun
Oew Were Instantly Killed or
(Mortally Wounded and Another
Wm Seriously Injured.
By <the premature explosion of a
54neta gun, at the Indian Head, Md.,
proving grounds of the navy, four
men are dead, Including IJeut. Arthur
C. Caffee. who was in charge
of the gun, and one man, a negro,
seriously injured. The breech lock
of the gun. wh Lch was being tested,
blew backward into the crew which
was firing the gun. The explosion
probably was due to a bemt or fouled
firing pin, which projected beyopd
the face of the breech plug of
the gun.
The dead in addition to Lieutenant
Oaffee. are:
J. L. Brown, battery foreman, instantly
kiljed
J. J. Loary, ordnance man, fatally
Injured, died later.
Nelson Jackson, colored, battery
attendant, fattally injured and died
shortly afterward.
Sydney Dyson, colored, a member
of the gun crew, was seriously injured.
%
The ordnance bureau has ordered
a board of inquiry to develop details
of the accident, the only witnesses
to which, so far as can be
learned, were John C. Coleman and
Sydney Dyson, both colored.
The gun. which was a new one
rnoin the navy yard gun factory and
being tented for the first time, had
already been fired twice. The ac
cldent occurred during the third
round, just as the breech was being
r.losed.
Lieutenant Arthur Gill Caffee was
born in Missouri and was attached
to the stag of Rear Admiral Shroc<ier
on the Atlantic fleet battleship
Connecticut before he was assigned
to duty at Indian Head as
Inspector of ordnance. He entered
the Naval Academy in 1900. The
assistants who were killed and inJured
were all civilians and lived In
tthe neighborhood of the proving
grounds, 40 miles below Washington.
The naval ordnance bureau has
been trying for a long time to llnd
some safety device applicable to
guns of this calibre, hut so far without
success, and if the gun captain
falls to obey 'the rule to pass his
- hand over the breech lock before it
* closed to detect any improper projection
of the tiring pin, then just
such an accident as occurred Saturday
may happen any time, *. is
said.
Every precaution ordinarily is
taken to protect the firing crews
from the failure of a new gun under
test. It Is required that after loading
tho gun- the orew shall retire to
a bomb-proof In Its rear and discharge
the nlM'A hv nlliptrlfllli- TV...
w _ IVII.J . I lie
trouble in this cast; lay in the fact
that the gun was discharged before
the crew had finished loading it.
The brass shell, containing the
powder and the projectile, had been
Inserted in the piece and the breech
blocks had swung Uo on its hinge.
Rut before the heavy threads had
interlocked, the projecting firing pin
struck the primer on the head of
the shell and exploded the charge,
which blew backwards, 'tearing otT
the breech block and killing or fatally
wotindlug the crew.
The omployera' liability net will
come into play in this case and the
families or dependent parents of the
victims of the explosion will receive
the equivalent of one year's pay.

PARIS .DRAWS KINGS
ACTRESSES ARK A CHIEF DELIGHT
OF THE ROYALTY.
Taxes Wrung From Poor Peasant*
and Worklngmen Are Squandered
In Maintaining Former Gutter
Children.
Every king in Europe, with a few
exceptions, spends a good deal of
his time in Paris, squandering in the
French capital the revenues wrung
from poor peasants and workingmen,
on favorites, who live in luxurious
surroundings. Paris is full of kiugs
in exile and kings in disguise. Every
prominent actress in the great
city boasts of a king, a grand duke
or a prince atnong her admirers.
Strange to say most of the sirens
who tempt 'the royalty of Europe, i
were children of cabiucu, peasants, ,
of working people of the poorest
class, aud even of slum dwellers.
Thus Paris brings the kings of Eu
rope as slaves to the feet of her gutter
children. She tempts them
with ruinous delights, and teaches
other nations how to get rid of them.
Five >ears ago Monua Delza was
earning ?it a week as a milliner's
girl in Pnrls, working till her fingers
ached aud walked home in the rain
and snow and other kinds of weather
to save the three cents omnibus
fare. Today she owns fire automobiles
and has become the connoisseur
of the most exquisite luxuries
and no outlay is too extravagant for
her. She Is much admired by Alphonso.
King of Spain.
tit was through her suggestion
that Alphonso introduced King Manuel.
of Portugal, to Gaby Deslya.
daughter of a drunken cabman and
a washerwoman. She received little
care, played about the stree's
with other gutter children and learn
ed the Parisian argot in all its ricn
suggestions.
It la teiid ?hi> ennlH I.. .. !
manner I hat wodld tnako the ave-age
CHh driver blush and gasp for
breath. Her career on the stage began
as it singer and dancer but her
rise was rapid. One thoatricai mauager
declares she had remarkable
business ability and keenness at a
bargain. Perhaps the ex-King of
Portugal can now add some observations
to the same effect.
The eagerness of his imperial
scapegrace, the Grand Duke of Doris
of Itushia, to keep Arutte Dorgere
in high estate in Paris was one of
itho causes of tlio llusso-Jupanosc
war in u hich 200,000 men lost their
lives. When the war wa3 raging
Grand Dukes pocketed the funds subscribed
for wounded soldiers and
perhaps large sums were spoilt on
ho Parisian actress.
Duello I.autelme, particularly admired
by the King of Greece, came
uear causing a rebellion in the empire
of King George, bnt the king
only laughed at the folly of his people
and drew an additional $200,OOu
from the treasury and spent part of
it for a necklace for his lady In Paris.
Scor?-e of other women are kept
in splendor by us many of high estate
in Kurope, with Paris as the
center for their activities and attentions.

When Police Interfered.
One hundred persons, Including
the chief of police, were killed ia
riots at I'uebla, Mexico, on Friday,
according to the statements of passengers
arriving at Mexico City Friday
night from that city.
The stories, told by passengers,
are to the effect that the trouble began
Friday morning, when a number
of policemen, headed by tne
chief, attempted to break in a meeting
of anti-re-electionlsts, which was
being held in a large hall.
As Chief or Police Miguel Cabrera
and his men advanced towards the
building, a door was opened by a
woman, who shot and killed the
chief. A fight then ensued between
the pollco and the occupants. A
lK)mb was thrown from one of the
windows In the midst of the policemen
nnd rurales, the latter having
been called to assist the city officers.
The bomb exploded, killing manj.
Tho causalities occurred in the
course of fighting, which 'took place
In the street. So far as known, there
were no Americans killed.
The passengers further asserted
that from morning until tho tluu
they left I'uebla, in the afternoon,
there was continuous rioting and
while the nnti-re-electionlsts had
' eon dislodged from the building,
Terrs were entertained that the disorders
were by no means at an end.
From official sources in Mexico
v>ny r naay night, It was learned
that the l?th battalion left there
late Friday for Puehla, by special
train, and that other trains were
In readinesfi to transport additional
troops to the scene of the riot it'

stated there Fflday n^tht th.it 16

Graft Committee.
One hundred thousand dollars to
vote against the anti-race track bettins
billa. in I9(ifi j ...
State Senator Eugene M. Travis, o(
Brooklyn, bo he swore on the stand
Friday, testifying before the legislative
graft committee. A mysterious
little man. whose name he does not
recall, made the offer in the lobby
of the Senate, he said. In behalf of
former Senator Frank J. Gardner.
And Gardner, he added, confirmed it
In a subsequent telephone cenvcrsation.
Gardner is now under indictment,
charged with having attempted similarly,
though with a lesser amount,
to influence Otto G. Foelker, of
Brooklyn, now u Congressman, but
then a State Senator. Foelker voted
for the bill, as did Travis, and it
was passed, notwithstanding the
frantic efforts of the race track Interests
and the alleged use of a fund,
which previous testimony has placed
at $300,000.
Travis' testimony and the committee's
efforts to subpoena James R.
Keene and Harry Payne Whitney,
millionaires whose hobby - is horae
racing, were the most inteieating developments
of Friday's hearing, resumed
after an adjournment on October
22. Tffort8 to And Messrs
Keen and Whitney, who have been
mentioned in previous testimony as
having been present at a conference
at nelmonilco'8 at which the alleged
corruption fund was raised, and the
committee Is anxious to examine
them, have thus far been wttho it

Travis's story Friday added two
new names to the list of Senators
"approached." The amount offered
him. he explained, was to be paid in
two installments, $23,000 down and
$75,000 utter his vote had Iwen cast.
"Did you ever hear of any other
Senator being approached?" he was
asked.
"Yes, I took lunch with Senator
Fuller and Senator Carpenter one
dny. and they told mo they hud been
approached. Senutor Dates also toM

Senator T. P. (lore, of Oklahoma.

success at the recent election to dissatisfaction

tariff law and the high cost of living.
"A lower tariff." said the Senator,
"would increase our revenue.

LODGE ON TRIAL
Foss Demands That the Senatnr Withdraw
from Senatorial Race.
OR DEFEND POSITION
The Governor Elect in a Published
.Statement Say* the He-Election of
Senator Ixxlg;e Would be a 1 Repudiation
of the People'* Victory
in the I*a.st Election.
Governor-elect Eugene N. Fobs, of
Massachusetts, has issued a ' statement.
says a dispatch from Boston,
i in which he demands that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge withdraw from
the field for re-election. In the event
of a refusal Mr. Foss declares he
will go into every section of the
Commonwealth in a campaign to defeat
the Senator. Mr. Foss s statement
in part follows:
"'In the name of the majority of
: the soverlgn people on the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts 1 demand
lha Henry Cabot Lodge surrender
his seat in the United States Senate,
by withdrawing from his contest for
re-elecion.
"His election to the Senate would
be a repudiation of the great victory
of the people at the last election. He
was on trial as much, if not more,
than Governor Draper, and if ho
had been the candidate my majority
Would have been double what it
was.
"The issues on which the fight was
made, on which I was elected, were
honest tarllT revision downward,
lower duties on tfce necessaries of
I life, free rnw materials, an untaxed
food supply with Canada and more
democracy in our form of government.
"We all know where Senator
Lodge stands on these issues and
where he has stood all the?o
years. To re-elect him would be
a step backward, and Massachusetts
has never learned, to walk barkward.
"I shall never sign his credentials
except at the end of a campaign,
which will make the last one look
like an afternoon tea party.
"He must surrender or tight. Ho
must defend his position before the
people. The people of Massachusetts
will not permit him longer to
manipulate the Le-gislature. I am
ready, and If he does not retire will
be on the stump in every section of
the State, and wo will find out where
the people stand. Senator Lodge is
not in touch with the new order of
things, with the progressive spirit
of the times. He does not represent
the people, the men and women in
the ordinary walks of life.'"

On Account of the Hmallncs* of

Pending an inquest planned for
Friday Oh the body which was found
In an hermetically sealed trunk In
the cellar of a West Thirty-fourth
street apartment bouse, the authorities
were not inclined to theorize
on who the victim of the mysterious
murder might be.
Even the sex of the victim wan
not known, the five or more year*
during which the body ia known to
have reposed in its hiding place, having
reduced it to a skeleton almost
bare of flesh. From outward indications.
however, the authorities are
of the belief that the body is that
j of a woman, the smallnoes of the
[ bones chiefly leading them to that
coucl union.

The only clue is the name of "W

about six years ago. He told Meagh
