EXPLOSION KILLS FIVE
ON THE ■*
Explosion Occurred While Target
Practice Was in Progress Off
Pensacola —Various Causes
Are Assigned for the
Explosion of Gun.
Pensacola, Fla., April 9.—(Special.)—
A most disastrous explosion occurred on
the battleship lowa today while the ves
sel was at target practice in the gulf.
The forward port twelve-inch gun burst
1; om the premature explosion of a shell,
twelve feet of the piece outside the tur
ret being demolished. Three men were
killed and five injured, two seriously.
The killed are:
First-Class Seaman KIELE.
Ordinary Seaman PERCEIVE.
Gunner’s Mate BERRY.
The injured:
First-class Seaman iGaugh.
Ordinary Seaman Thursdale, Brown,
Mansdale and Purucker.
The seamen killed and injured were
on the second or gun deck at mess. Three
pieces of the exploded gun. each weigh
ing over a ton. passed downward through
the spar deck falling upon the men at
mess instantly killing the three named.
All of the men were horribly mutilated.
The heavy missiles after passing through
the gun deck continued down to the third
deck, where they came in contact with
the armored deck, the heavy steel bring
ing thr-m to a stop, thus saving the en
gineers and firemen who were at work
below.
Some claim the explosion was caused
by a d"fective shell and others think
that the frequent firing of the piece,
at Culebra during the winter, with the
work done here during the past ten
days, so strained the piece that the force
of the charge burst the gun. Had the
explosion occurred five minutes later
when over two hundred men would have
■been directly under the piece at mess the
casualties would have been ten times as
great.
Gun Had Been Fired 125 Tinies.
Pensacola, Fla., April 10. An investiga
tion of the explosion on the battle ship
lowa, which occurred in this port yes
terday. resulting in the death of three
and the serious injury of five others,
shows that the accident was caused en
tirely by a defective shell fuse, which, it
is stated, burned faster than was cal
culated. It is understood that the shell
exploded fully sixty seconds before, it
was timed to go off.
An examination of the ship this morn
ing shows that the bursted gun is beyond
repairs, and that the 12-incli forward tur
ret will have to bo repaired. A number
of supporters are sprung ami it is stated
that peril. ■ of the de. k will have to he
replaced where pieces ot' the heavy gun
tore through.
Admiral O’Neil said today:
The gun which burst was designed in
■J'-P.t. unii maniifaetur.il in 1895 .it the na
val gun factory; Jantiarv 1. 1903, the gun
had been fired 125 times.
"Yest. rday’s accident is the first that

of a I: in- li gun on th*’ Kearsarge, the

Jaws
Fightly Locked From
Nervous Spasms.
Phy sici an s Could
Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles’Nervine Cured
My Wife.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine has been successfully
tried m thousands of cases of nervous disor
ders, but neverjias it made a better record than
w hen used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
“Seven years ago mv wife commenced
having spasms or fits and I called in tny
home physician and he said she was para-
Ivzed. He rubbed her with salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times verv severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Mlles’ Re
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that I got some
more. She has taken a number of bottles
but has never had a fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr.
Miles’ Nerve ami Liver Pills and is never
without them. If there is anv way of mak
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv
ne did mv wife.”—Wm. V. Allfn, P. M.,

Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkha rl ’
speaker. He discussed the negro ques
tion, trusts, tariff and the Philippines.
The negro question consumed the greater
part of his attention and proved an ex
cellent subject as evidenced by the fre
quent and general applause. He said’.
•’Neither Roosevelt nor a thousand
presidents can force the. people of the
south t<> accept the negro on a basis ot
social equality.”
He urged standing together on the
question and not allowing negroes to
usurp places w’hich they were incompe
tent to fill.
At the conclusion of Senator Money's
speech. Judge Newman Cayce introduced
Governor Longino. He said that as there
were no real issues in the Impending
campaign that lie would not attempt to
reply to the questions advanced by his
predecessor, and In his opinion the best
solution of the negro question was to
leave it alone.
He asked for his election, giving for a
background his record as governor. Re
spoke of no outstanding bonds on ac

excellent financial condition of the state’s
treasury.

When the body nf a petrified man was

THE WEEKLY INSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAI APRIL 13, 1903.
ROOSEVELT SPOKE IN
SNOW STORM
Sioux City, S. D., April G—President
Roosevelt began the second week of his
tour feeling much refreshed from yes
terday’s rest, and at 7:50 o’clock started
on a drive over the city with Secretary
Loeb. Senator Kittridge and Mayor Burn
side. Despite the early hour and the
dreary weather, the streets were lined
with people who greeted the president
with cheers and the waving of flu S’s. all J
at 8:20 the president arrived at the big
auditorium, where he addressed 4.000
children.
As the president left the auditorium he
was greeted with tremendous applaus...
lie was driven rapidly to the stand,
which had been erected at the corner of
Ninth street and Phillips avenue, where
u crowd of 6,000 people had assembled.
The president was introduced by Sena
tor Kittridge, .and spoke on "The Wage
Worker and the Tiller of the Soil."
During iiis speech snow began to fall,
but the president was clad in a heavy
overcoat and was well protected. Ho
said he was glad to be again m the
"Banana Belt," which remark created
laughter.
President Roosevelt said in part;
"There are many, many lesser prob
lems which go to make up in their en
tirety the huge and complex problems of
our modern industrial hte. Each of
these problems is, moreover, connected
with many of the others. Few indeed
are simple or stand only by themselves.
The most important arc those connected
wilh the relation of the farmers, the
stock growers and soil tillers, to the com
munity at large, and those affecting the
relations between the employer and em
ployed. In a country like, ours it is fund
atnentally true that the well being of the
tiller of the soil and the wage worker is
the well being of the state, if they are
well off. then we need concern ourselves
but little as t*> how other classes stand,
for they will inevitably, be well off. too;
and. on the other hAiid, there can be no
real general prosperity unless based on
the foundation of the prosperity of the
wage worker and the tiller of the soil.
"But the needs of these two classes arc
often not the same. The tiller of the soil
has been of all our citizens the one on the
whole i he least affected in his ways of lit”
and methods of industry by the giant in
dustrial changes of the last half century.
There has been change with him. 100, of
course. Il'’ also can work t" best advau
ta-ge if he keeps in el**se touch with bis
follows; and the success of th” national
department of agriculture Iris -liown how'
much can bo iione tor him be rational ac
tion of tin- government. Nor is it only
through the department that the govern
ment can act. One of the greatest and
most beneficent measures passed by the
last congress, or in leed bj an,'.' congress
in recent years, is the irrigation act.
which will do for the states of the great
plains and the Rocky mountain region at
least as much as • . hi- been done for
the harbor improvements. Few mea mres
that have been pul upon the statute
books of HF’ nation have done more for
the people than this law' will. 1 (irmly be

Aid to Fruit Men.
"Tlie department of agriculture lias
been helping our fruit men to establish
markets abroad by studying methods of
fruit preservation through relrigoration
and through methods of handling and
packing. <>n the gulf <om ts of Eouisi ma
and Texas, thanks to the department of
agriculture, a rice suitable to the region
w’as imported from the (trient and the
rice crop is now praeti allv equal to our
needs in this country, win re i. a few
years ago it supplied 'nut ono-lourili o'
them. The most important of "ttr larm
products IS the grass crop; and to show
what has been done with grasses. I need
only to allude to th” triking change
made in 'be entire west by the extended
use of alfalfa.
"Moreover, the department has taken
the h ad in the effort io prevent the defor
estation of the country Where there are
forests we seek to pre.- rv. th”m; ami on
the once treeless plains and the prairies
we nre doing our best to foster the habit
of tree planting among om- people. In
my own lifetime I have seen wonderful
chanpf' - ' brought about by this irr-f plant
ing hero in your own suit*’ and In the
states immediately around It.
"Th* r*' arc a number **f ver.', important
questions. «uch is that of go" 1 romls.
with which tlm states alone e.m deal, and
wh* re all that the n >ll ■>' ■' government
is to <uh»pprat«‘ with them In-'
same is true *'f the education of the
American f irmer, A number of the stales
have themselves started to help in 'his
work and the department of agriculture
doos an immense amount which is in 'he
proper sen *■ of the word educ ition.il, and
'. the most practica! way.
Wage Workers in Cities.
"But the wage workers In our cities,
like the capitalists in our cities, face
totally changed conditions. Th” develop
ment of machinery and (he extraordinary
change in business conditions have rin
d( lf . d t] lP < mploy nient of capital and of
persons in large aggregations not merel.v
h'ut often necessary lor success, and have
spe. iilizid the labor of the wageworker
at th* same tim*- that they have brought
great aggregations of wage-workers- to
gether. More and more in our great in
dustrial ■■ nters men have come to realize
that they cannot live as independently ot
one another as in the old days was tne
case everywhere, and as is now the case
in the country districts.
“Os course, fundamentally each mall
will yet find that the ehiel faei'T m
determining his success or failure in fife
is the sum of his own individual qualiti* s.
He cannot .* fford to lose his indivi.lu.il
initiative, his individual will arid powei ;
but h” can best use licit power it tor cer
tain objects be uniti’S with his fellows.
Much can be done by organization, com
bination. union among the w a■; --work* i s;
finally something can be done by tlie
direct action of the state. It Is not
possible cHlpirii-ally to declare when the
interference of tin- sl it, should bo deemed
legitimate and when illegitimate.
Child Labor Laws.
“Wise factory laws, laws to forbid
the employment of child labor and to
safeguard the employees against the ef
fects of culpable negligence by the em
ployer. are necessary, not merely in the
interest of the wage-worker, but in the
interest of the honest and humane em
ployer. who should not bo penalized for
his honesty and humanity by being ex
posed to unchecked competition with an
unscrupulous rival.
"Very much of our effort in reference to
labor mailers should be by every device
and expedient to try I" secure a con
stantly bi’tti i iitid*--standing between em
ployer and employee Everything possible
should bo done to increase th” sympathy
and fellow-feeling between them, and
every chance taken to allow each to look
at all questions, especially at questions
in dispute, somewhat through tin- other’s
eyi-s. If met with a sincere desire to act
fairly by one another, and if there is, fur
thermore power by • o il to appreciate the
ether’s standpoint, th.- > bailee for trouble
is minimized. I suppose every thinning
man rejoices when by mediation or arbi
tration it proves possible to settle troubles
in time to avert the suffering and bitter
ness caused by strikes. Moreover, a con
ciliation committee can do best work
when the trouble Xs in its beginning, or
at least has not come to a head. When
toe break has actually occurred, damage
has been done, and each side feels sore
and angry; and it is difficult to get them
together.
"When we d*-al with such a subject we
are fortunate in having- before us an ad
mirable object l.sson in the work that
has just been closed by the Anthracite
Coal Strike commission. This was the

i hearty greetings wherever his train stop

civil authorities in the Philippines, anti

their work amid a storm of detraction.
The army in espeejal was attacked in a
way which fhtaily did good. f-?r in th*'
etui it aroused the h* *rty resentment of
the gr*-at bodv ot th* Am*-ri*-.*n pcoplo,
not against the army, but against the
army’s ti tdu crs.

chance of repetition of (ho off.-tt,-*' Hut

not only signal courage and effieien* v but
great humanity.
Civil Government. Supreme.
"At the present tint*- Iho civil got -rn
moot is supremo and (ho army i i the
Philippi: * has been rodttci 1 ./
.sufficient merely to provide against tlie
roeiirr* nee of froubl*-. tn Gov* rtmi Taft
and his associates we sent to the Filipinos
as upright, as eo-isciontious. ami m able
a group of adminisliators is ever any
country has been blessed with having.
"The administration is incorrupt ihl*,
honest; justice is as jealously s.ifegu.ird
cd as her.- at. home. Th.- government is
conducted purely i n th*' interests of the
people of th.- islands; they ate prot.-eted
Ir ''elisions and civil tight.*..
"Th*- congress which Iris just adjorun* *1
has pass! ,1 legislation of high importance
and great wisdom in the interests of tne
I'llipino people, l-i’ t and foremost, the-,-
eon tier red upon them by law the present
admirable civil government; in addition
they gave them an excellent currency :
they passed a measure allowing the or
ganization *>f a native constabulary; ami
they provided, in the interests of tin?
i.'.ianus, for a reduction of 25 per cent in
th- tariff on Filipino articles brought io
this country. I asked that a still further
reduction should be made. It was not
gtanted by tin- last congress, but I think
that in some shape it. will be granted bv
the next.
"Moreover, congress appropriated $3,000,-
000, following the prec'i.l*nt it set when
the peopie of Porto Rico were afflicted
by sudden disaster; this money to be used
by thi Philippine government in order
to meet th*- distress oc -nsioned primarily
by the terrible cattle disease which al
most annihilated the caraboa or water
b I'falc*, file chief and most important,
domestic animal in the islands. Not only
has the military problem in the Philip
pines been worked out quicker and better
than we had dared to expect, but the
p r .’gress socially and in civil governmi’nt
has likewise exceeded our fondest hopes.
"While we have been doing these great
and beneficent works in the islands, we
have yet been steadily reducing the cost
a- which they are done. The last eon
gr* ss repealed the law for war taxes,
and tin war department has reduced the
art-’.v from the maximum number ot’ one
b. .i dled thousand allowed under the law
to very nearly the minimum of sixty
tlionsand.
Roosevelt Lost to Public Cares.
Cinnabar. Mont.. April X. President
Boosevelt is in e fastnes of Yellow
stone park and for the next sixteen
days he expects to enjoy complete rest
and cessation from public duties. He
will be in almost daily communication
witli Secretary Loeb, at t'lnnabar. but
nothing except of the utmost importance
will be referred to him.
In company with John Burroughs, the
naturalist, who accompanied him from
Washington, Roosevelt will closely study
the nature of the various animals that
inhabit the park. The president has look
ed forward to this outing for some time
and he was in a particular happy frame
of mind when he led the cavalcade into
the park. Every trail leading into ,lle
preserve is closely guarded and no one
will be allowed to disturb the president s
solitude. His headquarters will be at the
home of Major Pitcher, superintendent
of tlie park. A number of camps have
been established in different localities
and these will be occupied by the presi
dent from time to time.
The special train bearing the president
and his party arrived at Gardn-n.
train-.■ to the park, at 12:30 o clock this
afternoon, and was met by a detachment
of the Third cavalry and a number ot
cowboys. Major Pitcher also was on
hand to welcome th*- president. Lunch
eon was served in the presidents car,
after which th* president dressed in rul
ing breeches and coat with a light-colored
slouch hat on anil mounted his horse ana
made a brief address to the peopl* con
gregated near his train. He then hade
the members of his party goodby anil 1 *l
the wav into the park. Mr. Burroughs
followed in an army wagon. The train
returned to Cinnabar, where Secretary
Loeb and the remainder of the party will
live in it while the president is absent.
On April 21 th*- president will start on
his trip to st. Louis and the Pacific coast.
The weather is mild and reports from
the park are to the effect that there is
little snow in the vicinity of the presi
dent’s headquarters.
Lions Chased by Roosevelt-
Cinnabar, Mont.. April 9.—President
Roosevelt made an early start this morn
ing from his headquarters in the park
for an extended trip through certain
portions of the ri’sc-rv*-. There are a large
number of mountain lions in the park
and as the authorities are making a
determined effort to exterminate them, it
i possible tit* president may get a. few
shots during his stay.
Notwithstanding that numerous n*>-
tici s had been given to the outside
world that no newspaper men would be
allow'-d in tin- nark while th” president
was there, one enterprising reporter tried
to force his way in yesterday. He rode
• i horse and had a dog with him. The
mull was arresteil hi-f-ire he had pro
<*- ded far and tlie dog shot. Later the
Correspondent was released.
