Baltimore, March 8.---Investiga- tions are under way today Lo ascer- tzin the cause and fix the blame for the explosion of more than three hundred tons of dynamite on the steamer Alum Chine yesterday when more than forty were Kkilled, sixty injured, and a property loss of a quarter million dollars. It {8 be- lieved the real cause will never be learned, but the general theory is that coal in the bunkers was set fire by spontaneous combustion and that the flames were communicated to the dynamite.

Young Baker now is at Colorado Springs, Col., with his bride of a few months, who was foruaerly Nina Carlson, a beau- tiful young St. Charles girl. She went West with Baker when he svught a climate which would aid in fishting off an advance of lung trou- ble. He would not go unless she accompanied him. They were mar- rled after they reached the western city. Mrs. Gates, widow of the mul- timillionaire Steel king, and Chas, Cates, his son, are deeply attached to young Baker as was his uncle.

Reno, Nev.,, March 5.—Nevada's State prison yesterday was the scene of its first legal shooting of mur- derers under the new law providing for the choice between that and hanging by condemned men. Two such murderers choce that mode of death, while a third, Nimrod Urle, selected hanging. Three Maxim silencers, three rifles and a steel cage settled the question how to ex- ecute the two murderers who chose chooting in preference to hanging as means of paying the extreme penalty for their crime. The condemned murderers gat inside a eteel frame work on which were trained thre rifes to which were attached th Maxim silencers. The rifles were aimed directly at the hearts of the ictims. Nothing was visible but the uzzles of the guns and the lezal witnesees who watched the execution 1id not know when the death dealing volley was fired. with responses by prominent men of the city. The occasion promises to be even more enjoyable than the celebration of last year. In addition to the regular members, there will be quite a large number of Illinois peo- rle in attendance who are spending only a short time in the city.

A very interesting meeting of the Lakeland Board of Trade was held at the rooms of the organization in the Auditorium last night. A matter of much interest that was brought before the Board and given a decisive forward push was the installation of a “White Way,”or electric illumination, for the prin- cipal business blocks of the city. The sceretary reported that he had made a partial canvass of the business men and had found most of them rcady to put up the necessary funds: for the installation of-the posts and other fixtures, which will cost about $150 for each block. A committee was appointed to wait on the City Council and ascertin if the city would furnish the current for illum- ination and otherwise assist the movement. It was also decided that the Board would offer a handsome silver loving cup, to cost about $25, to the person residing in Lakeland whose grounds surrounding his or her dwelling slould show the greatest improve- ment in the next year. The idea is to stimulate the making of beautifut lawns, planting flowers and generale ly beautifying the premises of each property owner. The cup will be pussed on at the end of the second year to the person most deserving it during that period. A proposition to make an automo- bile trip to St. Petersburg, similar to the one recently made to Tampa, was discussed, and was favorably considered though definite actiom was not taken, the matter belng finally referred to the publicity com- mittee with power to act. Mean- while, a scouting or pathfinding par- ty went over to St. Petersburg today to ascertain the condition of the roads and general desirability of making the trip, and the project will depend largely upon the report of this party. The matter of stimulating loca! agricultural interests by offering suitable prizes to the person produc- ing the most valuable crops on a sin- gle acre was favorably discussed, and was referred to the committee on the promotion of industries with fustructions to secure, if possible, the co-operation of the Farmers' Club. The sccretary reported that he had been vigited by seven different par- ties, as the result of the booster trip to Tampa, and that at least one of these would locate and encage im business here. Many other inquiries are also reported as the result of the trip. The forthcoming visit of the Hard- ware Assoclation to this city was also discussed, and the entertaln- ment committee instructed to do ev- erything possible tn make a favorable Impresston on these visitors. Many other matters of minor im- | portance, but all tending to the ad- vancement of the various interests of Lakeland and vicinity, were consid- ered, and many of these Interests were forwarded, as is constantly be- ing done, by the enerzetic and pa- triotic band who constitute the se- tive members of I.akeland’s Board of Trade. GOMPLAINT OF POLICE MADE TO SENATE (By Associated Press ) Washington, March S.—Testi- neny to the effect that police meth- eds were 1% and inawdequate on the occasion of the suffra~e parade om March 2, was siven to the Senate committee today by Georze Canfield, of Spokane; Jud-e Henry Pierce, of Tndianapoliis, and Commodore W.
