FOURTH COSTS 38 LIVES.
Crusade for Safe and Sane Celebra
tion Comes to Naught.
Chicago, July 6—Once more the
annual barbaric orgy of death and
mutilation, which masquerades under
the guise of patriotic celebration of
the nation's natal day, has passed, and
the fearful cost has been counted in
part.
In many homes there is mourning
for children who have met untime'y
ends and adults whose lives have paid
the penalty of wanton folly, while in
darkened chambers and hospitals
throughout the country lie thousands
of maimed and suffering victims,
some sightless and some disfigured
for life, the work of the demon fire-
works.
In Chicago, as elsewhere, despite
the brave struggle in behalf of a "safe
and sane’’ Fourth, there was scant
improvement over previous Fourths,
and the result of all the efforts toward
reform can scarcely even be dignified
bv the appellation of near sane.
The death roll for this year’s
Fourth is 38, and the returns are still
incomplete, At midnight reports of
deaths and casualties were still com
mo in, anij the total of the injured had
reached 1429.
In Chicago alone, where the crusade
for a safe and sane Fourth was
strongest this year, there are eight
dead and 130 injured The fire loss
in the nation, so far as learned, is
$41.950 Of this Chicago will bear
$20,000.
Deadly tetanus last year claimed 73
victims after the noise and excite-
ment of the Fourth had died away.
Fifty three cases were caused by
blank cartridges, eight by giant
crackers, six by toy cannons and four
by firearms In 1900 the number of
cases that developed was 89. 54 of
which were caused by blank cart
ridges. In 1905 it was 104, of which
65 came from blank cartridges. In
190 1 there were 99 tetanus cases. 74
arising from the blank cartridges, and
in 1903 the number ran up to 392 of
which all but 29 cases came from bul
letless joy producers.

London, .July 4__ A special dispatch
to the Times from Teheran, June 16, |
supplies a long history of the events
that led to the recen^ coup d’etat. Ac
cording to this announcement certain
old discarded courtiers demanded the
dismissal from the palace of a clique of
conspirators. A delegation also called
upon the Shah to expel certain court
favorites, including Amii^ Bahadur and
('hapsal Khan, two of the Shah’s most
trusted councillors. The Shah craftily
feigned compliance and quietly pre
pared to escape from the capital. On
June 4 everything was ready and Ba
hadur’s wild horsemen galloped through
the main thoroughfares brandishing
swords and rifles, causing a wild stam
pede. Suddenly a whole regiment of
Cossacks with guns ready for attack,
followed by the tribal cavalry with wild
cries of “Long live the Shah” and
“Down with the traitors,M halted be
fore the palace.
The bazaars were all closed up anil
the people ran in fear of their lives.
The Shah’s carriage, driven by six bay
horses, was seen issuing from the gun
square surrounded by the six courtiers
who it was supposed had been dismissed,
escorted by every horseman the Shah
could muster, each with his rifle ready
to shoot anybody who might dare to
impede' the Shah’s passage.
All this happened within ten minutes
and within another ten minutes his ma
jesty was breathing the fresh air of
Bagshah, the royal garden outside the
western gate. Later in the day the
queen and the crown prince went to the
royal garden with an escort of 400
horsemen. This soon became the e’enter
of the royalist activities and 4he sur
rounding gardens were appropriated and
a regular camp formed which continu
ally increased its forces. The people
were taken, completely by surprise at
first, thinking the whole thing a joke,
but they soon discovered their mistake.
