MOST HORRIBLE SCENE Between Twenty ’and Thirty Men Were Killed Outright and About Fifty Injured in Cutaatrophe at * *•-*—* ^ "S ■ - *• • . - American Sheet and Tin Plate Co'a. Plant, when Boilem Exploded. With a roar that wai heard three miles away, a battery of seven boll- era at the plant of the American Tin Plate and Sheet Company at Canton, Ohio, exploded Tuesday afternoon, killing from twenty to thirty men and injuring about fifty. Among the in jured are a half dozen-men, who, It is said, will probably die before morn- ln*,_ Others, physicians say, cannot recover from their Injuries. The cause of the explosion is at present unknown. The fireman and engineer, who were In the boiler room, are dead. No one <‘lse about the plant who survived the accident can give any explanation. One workman says that he heard three distinct explosions in quick suc cession. They came so close, how ever, that it was also over In a minute. The force of the concussion was terrific. The big plant is in such a state of ruin as to be practically a total..loss. A mere egg shell of the baildlog Is left. Identification of the men was diffi cult, because many of them were so mutilated (hat even the most Inti mate frlenda of the dead could not recognize the features. Heads were blown from several bodies. Arms and tegs were tore from the trunks. Fragments of bod ies were blown several squares from the scene and bits of human flesh have been picked up on porches and roofs of houses and in trees] There were 100 men at work In the plant at the time of the accident. But a dozen or so escaped some In Jury. These, and others who rush ed to the plant as soon as the dls aster was known, worked heroically to rescue the Injured from the ruins which soon took fire, but the fire de partment extinguished the flames. The superintendent of the plan put foremen and other trusted em ployes at work trying to make a list of the dead, injured and missing The task proved difficult, because the Injured hai been rushed to the three hospitals of the city, and there was nothing which can identify them. Members of the bereaved families rushed frantically to the plant, and then to the hospitals and residences near the ruined shops, In an effort to find a trace of their loved ones It was thought at eigfi'l o’clock Tues day night that all the dead had been removed from the debris. It was then stated that so far as known the dead numbered twenty, but this did not Include any who had died at their homes after removal from the - ruins. The body of one man, unknown was blown through a house over sev en hundred feet from the plant The body entered the house from the east side, and continued in a straight line through a lied room and out at the other side of the house to Louis avenue. The torso of another man was found In the garden of a yard about 500 feet 'west of the scene. Arms, legs and parts of bodies were strewn about the neighborhood. The bodies of seven men. mutilat ed tyeyong recognition, were found in the north end ot the mill. J ‘For God’s sake hit me on th« head and kill me,”^ qjied one work man to a man who found him. The Injured man had an arm torn off and a great hole in his side. The plant had fl\e mills. All t!i employees who worked at mills one. two, three and four were either kill ed or Injured, whil* the men in mill No. 5, farthest from the boilers, es caped serious injury. FALBfcTt'R> STARTS PANIC. Many Injures! While Viewing a Circus Parade. A mistaken cry "the lion's loose" threw a circus crowd of women and chrlldren into a frenzy of panic, at Newark, N. J., Tuesday afternoon and some were badly crushed and cut, one man fell In a fit, a woman had her shoulder dislocated and many other persons suffered minor injuries One. little girl has her jaw broken. The panic occurred outside the Circus tent, during the parade Be- .cause of the size of the circus—one of the largest in the country—the streets were packed with sightseers. Suddenly the band struck up. A policeman’s horse Hut Itecline at Present to Enter Up on Any Counter Attack Upon the Honuin Catholic Church. The board of Bishops, of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, through its secretary. Bishop L. B. Wilson, Mon day ni'ght issued an official statement, which had been prepared by the board, at Is meeting in Chicago on May 9, relative to the Italian mission. The statement is the outcome of the recent controversy in Rente caused by the visit of Col. Roosevelt. The statement follows: “Deploring, and at all times seek ing to avoid Interdenominational con troversies, we are. nevertheless, com- peTTed To' recdgnTite OCcasslons when personal preference must yield to a proper sense of official duty. "We cannot allow to pass unnotic ed the recent unprovoked and un warranted attempt to discredit one of ouTTSost useful missions, by wide ly published accusations which, if based upon truth, would be nothing short of dishonor upon the Church which supports that mission. "We regret that after repeated challenges for details of the specific acts supposed to justify these charges, they still remain In such general terms that therr validity can not be tested before the judgment of the world. We can only observe: ("1. That ordinarily the use of ophedian adjectives is suggestive of anger rather than of reason. ,, 2. That the methods of our mis sions ih Italy, now for the first time thus publicly condemned, are the same that have been pursued from the beginning, almost forty years ago. “That the same methods, namely, preaching the Gospel in its simplic ity and conducting schools where they are needed, schools wtiich recognize the plain teachings of the new testa ment as a supreme authority in re ligion and ethics, have long been fol lowed by our missions in South America and Mexico, as well as in Rome, and no such indictment has been brought against those missions even to this day, so far we are in formed. "4. From these facts the inference appears to be irresistible that other considerations than the methods of our mission in Rome must have been the real cause of this sudden out cry. '’5. Possible some urgency of our dtpiomacy, local in Its origin, bu far reaching in Its portent, requtr d this attack with all its hazard, as a diversion from tile real issue involv ed. “The facts that support this infer ence are known to all who have fol lowed the course of recent events in the city of Rome. “Had there been any other way to avoid certain issues of etiquette and precedence created by coincident cir cumstances of a public nature, thr Methodist mission might have escap ed calumny and thus lost the valua ble recognition of its success. "Under such circumstances we en ter upon no defense of our work in Italy and make no plea for abatement in the Judgment of the world. “We decline at the present time to Miter upon any counter attack upon the Roman Catholic Church. ’We ask only that all fair men interested In the situation study for themselves its methods of propagand- ism and the traditional attitude of hat church toward other Christian fait hs. "We believe that there are stan dards of equity and moral retitude by which, In the estimate of all progressive people, all religions and all methods must be rated by what hey contribute to intelligence and moral character. "We now content ourselves with affirming our entire confidence In the moral integrity of our missionari. s and methods in Italy, and against the denunciation of th ir accusers we place the wide open record of the Methodist Episcopal Church, both as to teaching and method, in America and throughout the world."

In /presenting the report of the comrpTTfee on work in Cuba aud Pah- ama to the Southern Baptist Conven tion Dr. E: C. Dargan, of Macon. Ga., said he w-as as much a believer in unity and fraternity as any man, but he did not believe there was any church on eart-h as good as a Baptist church. He had an idea that a Bap tist church, which had in •front of it the first letter with which Bible was spelled was the best institution on earth and it was the only one that was right. If that was narrow, he had been living a narrow life for a long time among a lot of narrow men and he ^exepeted to die a narrow death, to be placed in a narrow coffin sleep, in a-narrow grave, .and to, uahe 4119^ ing of the resurrection to spend a narrow eternity with God to whose teaching he had tried to be true. In an Attempt to Make Their Ka- <n|K'.—All Efforts to Save Prison ers Were Futile.—Gruesome Scene Presented When Flames Kulwdded. Fate of Several Unknown. ThtTty-ftve^ convtctB -were horned to death at an early hour Monday morning at the Lucile mines, of the Red Feather Coal Company, located in Bibb county, fifteen miles nortii of Cartersyllle, Ala. The men krere cre mated while making desperate efforts to escape from a burning stockade, in which they were confined, and oth er prisoners were with great difficulty saved from the same fate. The stockade was fired by a con vict In attempting to escape, and he, too, met death in the flames. Guards of the camp were aroused by cries of anguish from the suffering men, hut the stockade burned so rapldjy that their efforts ttf save all inmates were futile. ;• Those who escaped from the stock ade, in which about 100 were con fined, attempted to escape custody, resulting in one being shot to death. After the fire the stockade pre sented a gruesome scene, the ground being covered with baked bodies, while the groans of those Injured added to the horror of the scene. AH convicts at the- Lucile mines are leased liy the State to the Red Feather Goal Cfcmpany, of which H. W. Perry is president, and J. H. Tay lor, superintendent. Official Information is to the effect that twenty-six men were burned to death and twenty-one, several of whom have since died, were seriously burned. Three white convicts were confined at the camp, but tt is not known whether these met death. Several guards were slightly hu'-nc't while attempting to rescue the con victs. State Convict Inspector Hugh Wilson has been sent *o the scene, and the Governor has offered assist ance. The camps were Inspected several weeks ago and were repor.ed in good eonditlon. The stockade was fired from the Inside, a plan having been formulated to make a general escape. The fi horned more rapidly, it is be’!eve than the man who set fire 10 the building expected, and instead of fur nishing a means of escape, the men succumbed to the flames. 4 The fire was discovered aPe.’ it had made such headway, an 1 the guards and other men, who ware at tracted to the scene, had all they could do to get out some of the ni -n who were locked in the cells and o prevent those who were released f-om getting away. * News of the fire spread through Mibb county, and other coal com munities have gone to the assistance of the Red Feather Company. Tin bodies of the convicts will tie bur.ed near the scene of the conflagrat’on as soon as the company and S rte officials have made a full investiga tion in the matter. BITE OF MAD IK Mi FATAL. A Litle Charleston Isd Is the Imtest \ ictim. The News and Courier says at mld- nkiht Tuesday night a report from the bedside of little Raymond Living ston, tlie six-year-old ciiild of Mr. J. K Livingston, who was bitten by a stray mad dog at George and St Philip streets on the morning of April 10, was to the effect that tin- child was not expected to last through the night. iDr. Edward M. Boykin was in at tendance on tlie little fellow at that hour and stated that the child had a genuine case of hydrophobia, and would not live to see the dawn. The lad was s ized with an attack on Monday, and although all was done for him taht was possible, his life was dispaired of almost from then. The sympathy of the entire city is with the child and his stricken par- nts. Raymond was given the full Pas teur treatment at Atlanta and re- urned to the city the early part of the month, apparently on the road to recovery. The wounds on hTsTace were practically healed up and It was bought that all danger of hydrophob ia had been eliminated. On Mon day, however, a change set in and the fellow sank rapidly. All that medical science and loving and ten der hands could do for the suffering child was done, but, it is feared, all to no avail.

The American Cotton Manufactur ers’ Association, representing sixty per cent, of all American spindles, has been asked and urged to join the “Boosters’- Club.” The appeal was made by Lewis W. Parker, the presi dent of the Association, in a speech at Charlotte on Tuesday. It was a red hot ajnd eventful speech. Mr. Par ker went to the meeting with a print ed speech, but he was so impressed with the importance of this appeal that he left the text and made fils real speech impromptu. It was a ringing appeal to the manufacturers to join the boosters and help the pro ducer secure high and good prices for raw cotton and a logical and sharp arraignment of the outrageous rules of the New York Cotton Ex change. Mr. Parker, himself at the head of mills operating over one-third of a million spindles and a close student, insisted that the cotton manufactur ers should quit hacking up the spec ulator by decrying the valu$ of raw cotton. The very want of confidence in high cotton on the part of the man ufacturers, he urged, bolstered the speculators and helped the “bears" force down the market that was nev er supplied with real cotton. If the same effort has been used in con vincing the world that there was a shortage of cotton as was used in decrying the price, the market would have been maintained and goods would have kept on a parity with cotton. He, therefore, begged the manu facturers to profit by possible mis takes and join hands with those un dertaking to get a fair price for cot ton and appreciate chan-ved condi tions. The farmer is entitled to a fair and honest return and he begged the representatives of the cotton mills to see that they got it. The world is going to be hare of cotton next September, and next year’s crop will hardly supply needs with reasonable reserve, and there is no use to ex pect low price cotton, and then Mr. Parker frankly showed that his per sonal experience was that his mills made more money with high priced cotton than with low and declining cotton. Mr. Parker knows what he is talk ing about and his intelligent audience w-as amazed at the array of facts and figures he gave in an off hand way Mr. Parker said that the Government was to blame for much of the mis understanding about the crop. It sent out a report about the ravages of the holi weevil being exaggerated and all sorts of stuff He rapped the Government officials for saying that the normal price of cotton should be from 8 to 10 cents. When the boll weevil fake was sent out, cotton tumbled 1 1-2 cents and the cloth market went to pieces. Then early in January, the Government sent out a crop estimate and the gam biers, by their manipulation forced cotton dawn 3 1-4 conrs on the Ex change. |Mr. Parker talks freely and gen erally in conversational tone, hut when he landed on the methods of the New York Exchange he rose on his tip-tops and grew eloquent. Mr Parker made it plain that he appre ciated the honest men in the Ex change, and that he knew there were honest men in the Exchange, but he denounced thp metnods and went into minute details. The chief trou hie he pointed out, was that the rules ane framed for the protection of speculative sellers and not for the egitimate buyer. The rules are for gambling and not fair trade, and he insisted that all he wanted was a fair, square deal for all and rules that were fair and honest, both to buyer and seller. Mr. Parker carried conviction with his statements, because he knew the rules and th' n he related a personal experience. He, with other legiti mate buyers, was in New York, early this month to get cotton. On May 2 Mr. Parker bought five t housa^l bales of cotton in New York. It was not speculative cotton, for Mr. Parker wanted the aecual cotton for the summer. Then Mr Parker related how the New York folks squirmed and twist ed to keep him and oth<r buyers from de-mand+frg the real ♦-ofton. One of the party from Georgia wanted to morrow money on the actual cot ton. He did not get it and was told hp had better not mix up w-ith Brown and Scales and a lot of "hulls." The mill man told him that he would get the money at home, and he did so, but he was offered the money if he would leave the cotton in New York Mr. Parker did not want nor need money. They told him the broker*- had been refused insurance on the cotton he had bought and how he had to get insurance in his own way and then how the effort was made to dis suade him from taking the real cot ton by delaying and playing with the classification ant! suggesting thnt GETS A LIFE SENTENCE Sensational Murder Trial in Kansas City Ends With the Conviction of Dr. Hyde, Whose Neck ia Saved hy the Jury Fixing His Punish ment at Life Imprisonment. Al Kansas City, Mo., on Monday Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, wag convictad and sectenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Thomas H. Swope, a millionaire uncle of his wife, who had given her nearly two hundred thousand dollars in his will. Col. Swope died October 3 0 last. His death certificate gave apoplexy as the cause of death. Dr. Hyde was in attendance. The State avers he poisoned the millionaire by adminis tering strychnine to him in capsule form. The motive for the alleged crime, says the State, was to obtain wealth. Hy the terms of Col. Swope's will, Mrs. Hyde was to receive a share of her uncle’s property and some mon ey. Desiring to hasten the settle ment of the estate and also to pre vent certain changes, which the col onel had planned, from being made in the will, Dr. Hyde, killed the aged capitalist. When indicted for the murder of Col. Swope, ten other indictments were returned against Dr. Hyde. In them he was charged with the mur der of Chrisman Swope, a nephew of Col. Swope, by administering pois on to him, negligently killing James Moss Hunton, a cousin of Col. Swope, by bleeding him, and of attempting to poison Misses Lucy Swope, Mil dred Fox, Sarah Swope, George Corn- ton, Nora Bell Dickson, Stella Swope, Margaret Swope and Leonora Cop- bridge. . All of these people were at tacked by typhoid fever, prevalent in the Swope home, and it Is averred Hyde caused their iiless. JS'o indictment but that one relat ing to the death of Col. Swope en tered the case which ended Mon day, however. He was a millionaire real estate and mine owner, who gave Swope park to Kansas City, and who died suddenly on October 3, 1909, shortly after having taken a capsule at the direction of Dr. Hyde l)rs. IHktoen and Haynes, of Chic ago. two eminent experts, who made an analysis of the viscera of Col. Swo|>o, found str^hnine i^his atom ach and liver. Dr. Bennett Clarke Hyde, the de fendant, is the son of a Baptist min ister, now retired, at Lexington, Mo. He was graduated from the Went worth Military academy at Lexington, and went to Kansas City in the early 90's and studied medicine. A short time after he had been licensed to practice Dr. Hyde was ap pointed police surgeon by Mayor Webster Davis. Before he had zerv- ed a year he was removed for un professional conduct. When in Octot>er, 1 898, several unusually bold grave robberies were committed, Dr. Hyde’s name became connected with the matter, but no sufficient proofs were found against him. jt was three or four years later that the announcement was made of Ur. Hydes engagement to Miss Fran ces Swope, daughter of Mrs. Marga ret Swope, of Indepenence, and the niece of the late Col. Thomas II Swope. (The engagement wa strongly op posed hy Mrs. Margaret Swope, hut Miss Frances was determined to mar- ry Hyde and even the fact that sev eral breach of promise suits were filed against him, which did not re flect credit upon his character, did not change her determiniation. She became the wife of Dr. Hyde, and, after a while, truce was de clared and a fairly cordial entente established between the Swope fam ily and Dr. Hyde. The door of the Swope home fvas opened to.the young doctor last summer and soon there after began a chain of events which caused the death of three persons and came tv ar wiping out the entire Swope family.
