Pittsburg, Pa., May 17—Frequent 7‘explosions of dynamite and powder within the past wéek in western Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia and attempts to explode heavily filled magazines is causing anxiety and a thorough investigation is a possibility.

Beginning Saturday, May 10, wh2an 800 sticks of dynamite exploded in the magazine of the Sunshine Coal and Coke company’s mine near Masontown, Pa., resuiting in the death of four and injury of two-score, and ending Wednesday with the explosion of 1,700 pounds of dynamite and seventy kegs of powder stored in .the magazine of the Consolidated Coal company at Eckhart, Md., in which three were killed and a dozen injured, there seems to be an epldemic of such accidents. -

SENSATION CAUSED BY THEFT OF DOCUMENTS AS TO DREAD- : NOUGHT. DETECTIVES ARE.‘ AT WORK No Clue Is Yet Discovered of Thieves Who Took Papers Relative to Glant Battleship Pennsylvania Two Months Ago.

Washington, May 15.—A sensation was caused in navy circles Tuesday when the disclosure was made that fmportant plans, some of which relate to the new dreadnought Pennsylvania Lave been stolen from the department. :

It can be said on reliable authority that the thefts began two months ago and that, despite the activity of secret service men, the Burns’ detective

agency and the police, no clue to the thief has been discovered. The heads of the department are disturbed, not knowing what document may go next.

' According to the information available at this time the loss of the documents began to be noticed in February. Most of the thefts have been comparatively insignificant, relating to the manual of the department and similar documrents. When, however, plans for some of the v(’ork on the new giant battleship disappeared the situation became so serious that steps had to be taken by the department to search for the perpetrator. Outside aid was called in and for weeks under the pretense of a change of administration . detectives have been slipped into clerical positions in most of the bureaus of the department and persons known to have kandled the missing documents have been under the closest surveillance. Knowledge of the situation came out through an imadvertent disclosure by one of the detectives. The department itself refused to say anything on the subject, but it is understood it may lift the lid later.

Building of the dreadnought Pemrnsylvania, part of the details and minor plans of which have been taken, was authorized by the last congress. It has been designed to displace 31,000 tons and will carry an armament of 34 heavy guns, exceeding in gun power the battleships of any other nation.

It is understood here that special surveilance has been established over the bureau of construction and repair, headed by Naval Constructor Watt, and the bureau of ordinance, of which Read Admiral N. C. Twining is the head. The missing plans are said to have been traced to both of these bureaus, but which one had them last has not been ascertained.

JOHNSON T 0 SIGN

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR WILL APPROVE ALIEN LAND BILL DESPITE PROTEST.

SENDS MESSAGE TO BRYAN

Asserts No Treaty Is Violated, No Discrimination Presented and No Offense Meant to Japan—State Is Acting Within Its Rights.

Sacramento, Cal.,, May 16.—Governor Johnson Wednesday telegraphed to Secretary of State Bryan a lengthy explanation why the legislature had passed the alien land bill and expressed the determination to sign the measure as he believed it to be a duty he owed to the state.

The governor has until June 16 to sign the measure. : ' The message was in answer to the request telegraphed to the governor by Secretary Bryan at the direction of President Wilson that the bill be vetoed. ;

Governor Johnson’s message is' courteously worded, but it is definite and direct. He does not budge a bit from the position that he has maintained from the first on anti-alien legislation.

Governor Johnson said to Mr. Bryan that he feels it his plain duty to sign the bill “unless some absolutely controlling necessity exists.” Apparently no such controlling necessity exists, the governor pointed out. “What ‘we are trying to do is to set forth California’s case,” continues the governor. “It lis astonishing the amount of misrepresentation that is afloat in the east regarding California’s position. . “We have violated no treaty rights; we have shown no shadow of discrimination: we have given to no nation the right to be justified in taking of: fense,” he declares. .

Governor Johnson emphasizes that his position is based “on a strong reliance in the righteousness of our cause and with due deference and courtesy and -with proper consideration for the feelings and the views of others.” :

That the governor thinks the national government should back ap California in its position is shown: by his statement: .

“We had hoped the authorities at Washington would have seen the question as we in this state have been forced to see it—as we must gsee it or be blind. ’ “We believe we are within ouf legal and our moral rights and that we are doing only what is imperatively demanded for the protection and preservation of our state.” “And so, with all respect and courtesy, the state of California feels it is its bounden duty to its citizens to ‘do that which the interests of its people demand; that which the conscience of its people approve; that which violates no treaty rights; that which . presents no discrimination; and that which can give no just cause for offenses. .

You have suggested to me delay, but this question was very earnestly and fully presented to you to our legislature, and the legislature determined to proceed. My province is to approve or disapprove the law as presented. Our people, as represented in the legislature, have overwheelmingly expressed their desire for the land law bill. The vote in the senate was 35 to 2, and in the' assemly 72 to 3. With such unanimity of opinton, even did I hold other’ views, I would feel it my plain duty to sign the bill. . ,

“It is with the highest respect for yourself and the president that I feel my duty to my state compels me to approve the action of the iegislature.”

S 3 e

VER since the abdication of the emperor it had been rumored in Peking that the imperial family was planning to retire to the palaces at Jehol, situated 160 miles northeast of Peking. Desiring to visit these palaces before their occupancy by the imperial family should render.them inaccessible to the public, the correspondent decided to make a trip to Johol. As Willis R. Peck of the Chinese secretatariat of the American legation was planning to make the same journey, we decided to join forces and travel together.

Mrs. Peck very pluckily insisted on accompanying her husband, in spite of the fact that the country through which we were to pass had been in & more or less disturbed state ever since the revolution, and brigandage had been rife on all the principal trade routes. Mrs. Peck argued that any place was safe for her that was safe for her husband. We tried to tell her that only one or two foreign women had eve rgone to Jehol, but she answered that this was the very reason why she wanted to go. In the end her arguments prevailed, though we had some misgivings about the advisability of a woman’s making such a journey. When it was finally decided that Mrs. Peck should accompany us, we took care to put in an extra supply of cartridges for our revolvers and guns. Mules for Transport.

The rocad which leads from Peking to Jehol passes through some very mountainous country, and is more suitable for mules and donkeys than for horses. We therefore, decided to dispense with horses and to use only pack mules and donkeys. We engaged five pack mules and three donkeys. The owner of the mules and donkeys agreed to send two muleteers with us to care for the animals. On Tuesday, July 9, we set out from one of the northern gates of Peking and traveled in a northeasterly direction. The pack mules carried

our provisions and baggage, while the sure-footed, sturdy Peking donkeys served us as mounts.

Toward noon we reached the town of Sunho, where we rested in a Chinese inn and had lunch. Here we saw the filtering tanks of the Peking water works, which were the last signs of modern improvements we saw on the whole journey. After a short siesta, we set out again and arrived at Niu Lung Shan, a walled city, about seven in the evening. In the west suburb of the city we found a fairly good inn. A Chinese inn usually consists of a number of one-story houses arranged around a large open courtyard. The guest rooms and stables all front on the same court-

Something New on Hen,

A young Boston college woman was following the suburbanite about his place and doing her best to show her full appreciation of the semi-rural beauty of the establishment. On visiting the hen-yard she became enraptured. One hen was unusually well marked. “Ob!” the young woman exclaimed entbusiastically, ‘“what beautiful foliage that hen has!”

Primitive Farming in Spain.

In some parts of Spain, as in the Sevilvé district, there are many large farms ranging from 1,000 acres up to 10,000 or even more. In other parts of the country thousands of peasants till little plois of from two acres to five acres apiece. There the use of modern farm machinery makes very glow progress. i

To Stop Cramp in the Leg.

To those who suffer from cramp in the leg at night, the following may be useful: When the ¢cramp comes on take a 4 good long string—a long garter will do—wind it round the leg over the place that is affected, and take

vard, which is usually full of horses, mules, donkeys, camels and a great profusion of merchandise and . baggage. To those unaccustomed to Chinese inns the stamping and braying of the mules is very annoying. A room In a Chinese inn has no furniture, excepting a table and a couple of chairs. Instead of a bed, there is a raised platform of brick called a “kang,” on which the traveler spreads his bedding. In the front part of the “kang” is a small fireplace which connects with a number of air passages radiating to all parts of the ‘‘kang.” It is, therefore, not incorrect to say that the Chinese sleep on their stoves. All the next day we were gradually approaching the mountains and were beginning to wind our way up a beautiful valley through which flowed a large river, which we crossed by means of a ferry boat. We were now passing through a beautiful farming country. We noticed that the farmers did not live on their farms, but were congregated in villages and towns. Almost every farmer had a hut on his farm, where he could camp out®” while watching his crops.

As soon as we had traveled a day’s journey from Peking we began to attract a great deal of attention. The people were curious to see the foreigners. The children often fled before us, crying, “the foreign devils are coming.” Accept the Republic. A

Wherever we stopped we tried, by conversing with the pecple, to ascertain their- attitude toward the republican government:. It was very clear from what they said that they accepted the republic as an accomplished fact, and believed that it had come to stay. Just what a republic was the ordinary people did not seem to know. Most of them seemed to think it was a new order of things which would gradually compel the Chinese to cut their cues and to follow foreign customs in general. Some of the more intelligent people believed

that the republic would in some way lead to a participation in the government on the part of the people. Just how this participation was to come about they did not know or care. While chary about talking politics, the people were not averse to discussing the affairs of their own particular community. We found every particular community had its own fund of legends and folklore. At Shihsia, where we stopped for lunch on July 11, we were told that the place owed its name to the fact that there was a huge stone in a neighboring valley resembling a gigantic treasure chest. This stone is said to contain a vast fortune in the shape of gold, silver and precious stones.

o CLEARED AWAY Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more gevere than any others. But when a man {s unable to eat even a light breakfast, for years, without severe distress, he has trouble enough.

It is small wonder he likes to tell of food which cleared away the troubles. “I am glad of the opportunity to tell -of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me,” writes a N. H, man. “For « many years I was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering.

“After eating I would suddenly be seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would be . followed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week or more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk.

“Since I began to eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more times a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal. Now I can eat almost anything I want without trouble. “When I began to use Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight, now I weigh 30 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked the change.,” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
