EXPLOSIVES VERY CLOSELY GUARDED

Railroads Are Taking Greatest Pains to Prevent Any Accidents. REGULATIONS ARE STRICT LEGISLATION REGARDING TRANSPORTATION OF EXPLOSIVES IN EFFECTUAL SO . ROADS MADE ! OWN RULES. (Palladium Special) New York, July 22. Five thousand cars containing explosives are continually In transit on tho railroads of the United States an average of one car of explosives to ever fifty miles of line. The strict regulations enforced by the railroad companies .have made the movement of this class of traffic remarkably free from accident. This is due to the action of the American 'Railway association, which Includes In Its membership all the important roads in the country, in organizing the Bureau of .Explosive. The bureau, before prescribing rules, made a thorJMfh study of conditions surrounding the shipment of explosives. -'As five hundred million pounds of xploslves are manufactured In the United States every year, and most of this Quantity is transported on the railroads, the work of regulating its transportation is vastly important to both the traveling public and the shippers. i . Legislation designed to govern the transportation of explosives proved to be Impractical, and If the railroads bad confined themselves to obeying the statute the list of accidents could pot have been , kept down. Congress passed a law requiring that the dangerous materials should be packed in total boxes covered with plaster of Paris or "some other substance which will aot explode when saturated with Jaltro-glycerlno." I Net Yet Discovered. No other such substance has yet been discovered. Incidentally, plaster of Paris Itself makes an excellent explosive when saturated with nltro-gly-teerine. Moreover,- metal boxes, if Carelessly loaded so that they might knock against each other, invite fatal explosions. i . . When the American Railway associations got Its Investigations under way. It was found that the chief source of danger was the careless packing by manufacturers. Cans of black powder often burst open and left powder scattered on the car floor. Sparks flying In through a crack .would make a wreck of the entire car, and probably of many more cars. Dynamite was loaded by manufacturers Into cars containing heavy Iron castings. The castings and the dynamite, coming , into violent contact, '.would cause a disastrous explosion. I A corps of Inspectors was, sent out by the Bureau of Explosives to educate manufacturers and railway employes. Practical lessons were, given. The inspectors would come upon some railroad yard where there was a car of explosives and examine tt. If there was anything Wrong the railroad men at the yard were told about it and instructed how to correct the condition. The various railroads spread printed directions among their employes. Here are some' of the rules which re typical put into effect by one large company i rv , , WOnly cars of 60,000 pounds capacity good order, may be used for carrying explosives. The cars must be equipped with air brakes and hand jbrakes in good condition. They must be labelled, on both sides and at both ends: "Explosives Handle Carefully Keep Fire Away." , There must be no loose boards, and Eo cracks in the roof, and the doors lust be kept shut so tightly that no parks can enter. , -before a enr may be loaded with explosives, an inspector must examine it and sigh a certificate to the effect that It is Id good order. The manufacturer also has to furnish a certificate defining the method of packing land marking explosives. Cars containing explosives must not be hauled in any train carrying passengers. They must not be placed near to each other than 5 car lengths, nor within 15 car lengths of the engine, nor. within 10 car lengths of the caboose. Whenever a train stops ' the tralnjnen must examine all cars containing explosives. - I "The very best Ice Cream you ever te made from pure pastuerlxed cream and fruit juices. .Ten flavors to elect from at Price's. l Free turtle soup Saturday night at l.

SHERIFF OUTWITTED He Stops a Prize Fight But Later the Mill Was Held Near Camden.

BOTH FIGHTERS WHIPPED (Palladium Special) Eaton, O.. July 22. Clyde Zimmerman of Gratis, and Henry Fornsfaell, of Camden, attempted to pull off a prize fight at Camden, Wednesday night, but Sheriff Boner Interfered and put the finishing touches to the bout. The two men, however, met later in the evening and had a fight at the outskirts of Camden before a large audience. All science known to the boxing profession was lost by the contestants and they simply "beat up" on each other until both were whipped. Mayor F. M. Marsh, of Camden, took action and had the fighters arrested, and when they were arraigned before him he administered to each violator a fine of $20 and costs and Imposed a jail sentence of twenty days. Both men are now fighting a nervous condition of their individual temperaments and the distasteful and gloomy situation made possible only by confinement behind the big stone walls of the county jail.

BRYAN DECLINES DRYS INVITATION

But William Jennings May Make a Stumping Tour of the Hoosier State. AVOIDS LIQUOR QUESTION AND WILL TALK ONLY ON NATIONAL POLITICS IF HE INVADES INDIANA PLANS OF THE DEMOCRATS. Indianapolis, July 22. Gently, but firmly, William Jennings Bryan is saM to have turned down an urgent invitation from the anti-saloon league to deliver county local option speeches in Indiana during the present campaign. However, Superintendent Shumaker has not entirely given up hope of inducing Bryan to say a few things in behalf of the local option law. The league has been making good use of Bryan's recent utterances on county local option. In its official organ Bryan's remarks on local option have been printed recently and widely circulated among the temperance 8emocrats. Owing to the fact that the democratic state convention declared for the repeal of the county local option law by substituting the city, town and township as units, the anti-saloon league has been trying to organize the temperance democrats. In a number o "dry" counties the democrats have instructed their legislative candidates to stand opposed to the repeal of the county local option law. The policy has aroused much bitterness among the liberal element, that is counting on the repeal of the present law and the adoption of the democratic plan. The league has taken advantage of the local conditions among democrats as well as republicans, and in many communities has made good by seeing that "dry" candidates were nominated by both parties. It Is said, however, that Superintendent Shumaker and his aids are very much alarmed over activity of the brewers and other foes of .the county unit law and they are afraid that it will be repealed unless they can get strong support from the democrats. They have turned to Bryan as a last resort They have been as eager to bring him into Indiana for a few speeches as the democratic organization has been to keep him out. With the view of inducing him to make local option speeches Carl Hinton, attorney and political manager for the league sought an interview with him. It Is stated by the league leaden that Bryan is In sympathy with their movement, but he ducked on the proposition that he should come Into Indiana to tell the democrats that their platform was not the right kind. The democratic leaders have been alarmed lest Bryan would deliver a lecture in Indiana advocating county local option, but he made one speech without getting the party tangled up on the subject any worse than it has been since the convention. Bryan it is declared is very anxious to put in some good licks for his former running mate, John W. Kern, and the latter would like to have him make a few speeches. In view of the failure of the anti-saloon league to land Bryan as a headliner for its fight the democratic leaders may change their plans and invite him into the , state to discuss national issues. TENNIS TOURNAMENT N. C. Hleronlmus, director of the public play grounds, will soon arrange a tennis tournament, open to all players in the city. Interest in tennis circles is reviving during the last few days after a summer of Inactivity. A number of fast players use the courts at the school board grounds, among whom are a number of ministers of the city. The courts are in fine condition. TO BUST TUB TRUST Baltimore, July 22.

CONVENTION

Starts a Riot

a Fight, Because the Porker Hair. Jano somewhat assauged the grief over the dog's demise. Sewing up the carcass in a sack, the Whiting official lugged it -to the shop of Mike. "Mike, a friend of mine left a fina suckling pig at my home this morning, but as I am in a generous frame of mind today. I will give you the porker," said Busczkowski. "Save ms some of the chops, Mike, my friend." "Thanks and many of them." bowed Mike, already counting the coins made possible by the increased cost of livins. Kosciusko in sack, was placed In tho ice box without examination. Busczkowski quickly spread th? news that the juicy chops and succulent spareribs of a freshly slain suckling pig were to be had at a moderate price at the Jano establishment. Housewives who could not join the rush for pork sent husbands and sons. Mike's shop soon took on likeness to a drink dispensary with a ticker score of the big leagues. "Fresh chops? Sure, lots of them," smiled Mike, as he drew oKsciusko from the ice box and slit the sack. Mike finally drove the crowd from the shop and barred the door before a riot call was sent to the police.
