The roth’ ie been that many persons ‘have taken home rule to mean free license to violate the Penal Code. Ex- else violations, for instance, come under the Penal Code. The charter has noth- ing to do with them. free license to violate the Penal Code is the kind of home rule that Tammany wants. “As things now ave, the Board of Es- timate is less restricted in Its authority than the Legislature. I refer to munic- fpal and State authority respectively. The Board of Estimate is free to spend city millions, and the people of the mu- nicipality have no vote as to how their money shall be spent. On the other hand, the Legislature cannot appropri- ate more than $1,000,000 for any object unless the people of the whole State ‘vote for the appropriation. “Then, too, the city authorities can authorize bond issues for fifty years, The State authorities can issue bonds for no more ¢han eighteen years.

OGDEN, Utah, Feb. 20.—Twenty-five persons have been killed, fifteen others injured—several, it is belleved, fatally— and a great amount of railroad property destroyed by an explosion of a carload of dynamite at Jackson, a telegraph station on the western end of the great Ogden-Lucin cut-off on the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Everything within a radius of half a mile wrecked. The town of Terrace, fifteen miles to the north, was shaken as though by an earthquake, window panes in the sta- tion at Colon, fifteen miles away, were shattered, and the sound of the explo- sion was heard in this city, eighty-one miles from the scene of the disaster. The ground upon which the. trains Were standing was torn up for more than a thousand feet, leaving a great excavation thirty feet in depth; fras- ments of a dozen freight cars and two engines were thrown incredible dis- tances over the surrounding country; the station building blown to splin- ters and the dead and injured were scattered for hundreds of fest in all directions, most of them having their clothing torn off. ‘Telegraph wires and poles were torn dowm for a thousand feet, and the first knowledge of the disnater came from Terrace, fifteen miles away, the oper- ator at that point reporting ‘to head- quarters that he saw an immense cloud of smoke ascend from Jackson and spread out at a great helght. i ; - 6 - THE WORLD: SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1904.

Uresence of Colombian Guabeat POWDER EXPLOSION KILLS THREE MEN. {Continued from First Page.) at 7 o'clock, The force has been very busy of late and It is said that they were working on orders for foreign governments, probably Russia or Japan. Mehe explosion occurred at 9 o'clock in what is known as the press mill. Chere was a large quantity of smokeless and biack powder and guncotton in this m1], several tons in all. The theory is that a nail, a plece of stone or some gritty foreign substance got mixed In with the powder that. was being pressed and in passing through the machinery generated a spark, Almost all explosions of this kind are attributed to that. MADE THE EARTH TREMBLE. ‘the explosion in the press-mill sent everything skyward and caused the very earth to tremble. It was followed almost immediately by the ex- plosion in what is known as the Corning mill, the nearest building. This explowion was even greater in force than the first ope. The third build! to go was the wheel-mill, in which the heaviest of the machinery is kep miles distant. Some idea of the force of the explosions can be gained from the fact that they were felt over Morris, Passaic, Essex and In Morristown people ran out of thelr houses in great fright, believing that it was an earthquake. Bricks were actually sent flying from the chim- neys of some of the taller buildings there, and several persons were thrown to the ground. Telephone reports show that the explosion was felt as far Away as Hackettstown and Newton, which are forty miles distant, At Newark, fifteen miles away, windows wero shattered, the down, causing much excitement among the inmates. filled with many frightened women who ran from their homes dragging their children after them, and the police reserves were called out to calm them. Drivers in different parts of the city had much trouble in keeping their horses under contro] and several runaways occurred. Ip several factories in the northern section of the city, girls are employed, there were panics. TRAIN LIFTED FROM TRACKS, A New York trafn was just crossing the Penns, over the Passaic River when the explosion was felt, from the tracks. The passengers were all greatly them, who were bound for points west of Newark, Market street station to await an explanation of the strange disturbance, This ts the third eerius explosion at the Wayne plant. On June 3, 1901, 450 pounus of powder exploded, seriously injuring two men. On Aug. 11, 1902, seven tons of powder blew up there, but no one was injured, the ex- plosion occurring at night when no one was at work. The Laflin-Rand Conipany alsu has had a great deal of misfortune with explosions at its various planis around the country during the past few ars. On March 18, 1896, five men were killed and seven injured at Rifton, Y,; on July 12, 1898, nine men were killed and oleven Injured at Pomp- ton Lakes, N.
