Authorities Discover No Motive

San Francisco.
AUTHORSHIP IS MYSTERY
Explosion Wrecks Saloon and Gro
cery Store With Living-Rooms
Overhead and Sets Fire to
Ruins Three Are Injured.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29. A myster
ious explosion, followed by a Are, which
occurred at an early hour today at Dia
mond and Chenery streets, caused the
death of four persons, seriously injured
three others and completely destroying
two buildings and caused a loss of $30,000.
The dead:
John Sweeny, aged 50 years.
Mrs. John Sweeny, aged 50 years.
Ellen Sweeny, aged 11 years.
Antone Dismeyer, aged 2.
The Injured:
Mrs. Mary Dismeyer, aged 17.
Frederick Sweeny, aged 24.
Thomas Hart, fireman.
All Victims Were Abed.
The explosion took place in the build
ing occupied as a grocery store and sa
loon by John Sweeny and S. F. John
son. Both places were closed at the time
of the disaster. The Sweenys lived just
above the grocery store and the Dismeyer
family resided in an upper flat. All the
victims were in bed at the time. The
elder Sweeny, his wife and daughter and
little Antone Dismeyer were instantly
killed. The baby's body was blown
through a window and was found in a
tree. Fred Sweeny was hurled through
another window and bruised.
Frederich Dismeyer made his escape
but rushed back into the burning house
and carried his wife out through the
flames, both being badly burned. Mrs.
Dismeyer is not expected to recover. An
tone Dismeyer, Sr., carried his mother out
of the house and both escaped injury.
The cause of the explosion, as well as
the motive for the crime, if one was com
mitted, is unknown. Theories that coal
oil kept in the grocery or a leak in the
gas main might have wrecked the struc
tures proved to be untenable as it Is now
the belief of the police that dynamite was
used. '
One Possible Clew.
Johnson, the saloonkeeper, says there
was a fight in the place last night and he
thinks that some one involved in the
trouble was the author of the outrage.
The fact that a man named T. J. Gall
agher held a joint lease of the saloon
with Johnson led to the rumor that the
building belonged to ex-Supervisor J.
I Gallagher, the principal witness for
the graft prosecution, whose houses in
Oakland were recently dynamited, but
tliis proved untrue. The ex-Supervisor
has a brother of the same name as the
lessee of the saloon who is no relation,
and Detective Burns thinks that the men
who caused the explosion may have con
fused the men.
This is admitted, however, to be merely
a surmise, and the affair still remains a
mystery.
THAW'S CHANCES BRIGHT
Justice Mills Says Jury Trial Is Due
Prisoner.
MURDERED
m
DYNAM TE
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., "June 29.
Harry K. Thaw's chances for a jury
trial as to his sanity appear to be very
bright. At the conclusion of argument
before Justice Mills this afternoon the
Justice said:
"I believe it should be only a matter
of time when this man ought to have
a jury trial. I am not prepared to say
whether it should be now or later."
The Judge then ordered that Thaw
should be detained in the Poughkeepsie
jail, and adjourned the case to July 13,
when arguments and affidavits will be
submitted. Thaw was taken back to
Poughkeepsie this afternoon.
Judge Mills adjourned the case until two
weeks fron today, when Counsel will sub
mit affidavits and arguments on the ques
tion of a Jury trial.
Thaw was remanded to Poughkeepsie
Pair for $1.75 Kayser and Fownes
ANNUAL
very
Jail for convenience of his counsel, Mr.
Morschaueer, who lives In Potighkeepsle.
Under the proceedings by which
Thaw was brought here today, the
question of his right to a jury trial
was raised. In the first habeas corpus
proceedings in Poughkeepsie this point
was not brought up, as counsel for
Thaw assumed that his sanity was
perfect.
Thaw enjoyed the ride dowji the
Hudson and was in fine spirits. He
declared that his stay in Poughkeepsie
Jail had helped him, because of the
better diet permitted.
On arriving here, Thaw was taken
to a barber shop for a shave. En
route to the courthouse he was beset
by photographers, whose efforts to ob
tain snapshots at him greatly enter
tained him.
THAW IS DANGEROUS LUNATIC
Therefore Justice Dowling Refuses
Removal From Matteawan.
NEW YORK, June 29. Justice Dowling
today denied the application, of Harry K.
Thaw to be removed from the Matteawan
State Asylum for the Criminal Insane to
some other institution. The decision says?
"If. after sufficient observance. It is
found proper to remove him to some other
institution, the state authorities can so
act."
Justice Dowling's decision further de
clares that Thaw is a dangerously In
sane person, who is not to be punished,
but to be kept under proper restraint,
that he may not injure himself or any
one else, and said that the affidavits
submitted set forth absolutely no rea
son why the change desired should be
made.
Justice Dowllng's order, handed
down today, is not operative for the
present at least, as Thaw is now in cus
tody under the orders of Justice Mills
by reason of the writ of habeas corpus
on which he was taken In court at
White Plains today.

Life With Female Samson.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. Locked in
a cell with a raving maniac bent on
murdering her. Matron Ellen Sweet, of
the detention ward of the Emergency
Hospital, engaged in a terrific struggle
for life yesterday morning. The maniac
was Maud Tochlo, who was taken

She is an Italian woman of great
strength. Dr. Reuben C. Hill, of the hos
pital, and two stewards finally heard the
sounds of the struggle and succeeded in
rescuing the matron just in time to save
her life. She had lost consciousness, and
the grasp of the Insane woman was on
her throat.
Matron Sweet heard a noise In the room
occupied by the insane woman and en
tered with no thought of danger. She
locked the door behind her as she en
tered. Immediately she was set upon
by the maniac and borne to the floor.
After being subdued by the stewards
and physician and placed in a strait
jacket the woman raved, and it is thought
she will die.

Schaefer's Anuual Talk Cleve
land Wins Spelling-Bee.
CLEVELAND, June 29. The largest
and most varied programme in the his
tory of the National Educational Asso
ciation marked the opening of its 46th
annual convention here today. Many
thousands of delegates are here and the
streets and buildings are gaily deco
rated. The first session was a meeting of the
National council. Tbls was followed by a
meeting of the directors, where financial
reports were made and resolutions adopt
ed. The committee on resolutions rec
ommended that Congress be urged to
make appropriations and take up the
work of educational investigation under
the Government Bureau of Education.
The active delegates met this after
noon and selected candidates for the
poirinating committee. This committee
on Wednesday will nominate a board of
directors for the ensuing year.
At this session. President Charles F.
Thwlng. of the Western Reserve Univer
sity, spoke inpart as follows:
Progress in Education.
"Certain important changes have been
made in the laws of the various common
wealths, during the academic year just
closing, touching educational affairs, il
lustrative of continued betterment. Among
such laws and among movements growing
out of laws may be noted the progress
of the study of agriculture in rural high
schools. States as remote as Pennsyl
vania and. Kansas, Arkansas and New
Jersey are leading In such a movement.
Michigan has established a chair of agri
cultural education in its college at Lan
sing. The endeavor, too, of putting li
braries Into every public school building
progresses. The movement is a general
one. taking on diverse forms in different
states and in different schools of the same
state. Several states, also, have estab
lished commissions either to study edu
cational conditions or to codify school
laws. Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Wash
ington and Pennsylvania are eminent in
these important relatione.
"The enforcement of compulsory laws
regarding the atendance Is receiving
special atention. With such enforce
ment is Joined a more rigid inspection
of factories to Insure that children
under legal age are not employed.
Minimum salary acts still continue to
be passed. The tendency to transfer
the basis of taxation from the local
district to the larger area, as the town
ship, the county, the state goes for
ward with increasing force. The en
deavor for the establishment of pension
funds progresses. Intimations abound
that every state will presently possess
pension funds. Despite these move
ments it cannot be denied that the
number of pupils who persevere in fol
lowing out their educational course to
its conclusion is still small.
"The enhancement of the worth at
tributed to the higher education for
women still continues. But the sentiment
rather a feeling than a conviction that
the higher education of women should be
differentiated from the education of men
Is rising. Women have proved that they
can do as acceptable service as is asked
of men. They now, having made their
calling and election sure, are asking this
question: "Is it worth while to try to
do the work of men?' The question is
raised in some minds: 'Should not the
higher education of women still have for
Its primary intellectual interest studies
which may specially relate to the calling
to which at least one-half of the college
graduates will devote themselves?' "
At the evening session Vice-President
Nathan C. Schaefer, acting presi
dent in the absence of President Edwin
G. Cooley, who is ill In Switzerland,
delivered the annual address. In part,
as follows:
"What can the school do to fit the

year. Positively
any other store in
which they will earn their livelihood?
is a question which is now more than
ever before engaging the serious at
tention of educators throughout the
civilized world. This question is so
Important .and all-absorbing that there
is danger of losing sight of the other
equally important question: What can
the school do to make life worth living
during the hours in which the indi
vidual is not engaged in the struggle
for bread?-
"I have no quarrel with the tollers who
seek recreation. Our insane asylums are
filled with farmers' wives whose work
was never done, who went through a
ceaseless round of drudgery seven days
in the week, year after year, until the
nervous system broke down and the in
dividual sank into hopeless Insanity. It
is the inexorable demand of human nature
that it shall seek and have relief from
the drudgery of piece work in the shop
and factory. What keeps me awake at
night is the thought that if these toilers
had been taught at school how to use
and enjoy a good book, they would seek
recreation and enjoyment by visiting the
public library instead of going to the
roof-garden and the saloon.
"Education for avocation is quite as
important as education for vocation.
Man shall not live by bread alone," is a
maxim spoken by the greatest teacher of
all the ages."
Andrew S. Draper, of New York, spoke
on "The Adaptation of the Public School
to Industrial Ends."
Cleveland Wins Spelling-Bee.
At the Hippodrome, where the general
sessions are held, a spelling contest be
tween classes of eighth grade pupils, rep
resenting the schools of Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Erie and New Orleans, began at
10 o'clock this morning. There were 115
contestants in each of the four classes.
Cleveland won the match with a total
of only 38 errors; Pittsburg second, with
47 errors; New Orleans third, 66 errors;
Erie fourth, 85 errors. Mae Thursby,
Pittsburg, and Mary E. Bratten, Cleve
land, the latter colored, had perfect
scores.
The scarcity of teachers was the. sub
ject that occupied the National Council
of Education at Its meeting today. L C.
McNeil, chairman of the committee of
investigations, delivered a report in
which he showed that instructors are
underpaid.
The permanent fund of the association
was reported by Treasurer Arthur H.
Chamberlain to be $170,000. an increase
during the year of approximately $10,000.

It is the intention to take over the busi
ness of the old institution later.
Garfield Sails for Home.

the Interior James R. Garfield, who re
cently came here on the battleship

islands, sailed for San Francisco late

Zu Eulenberg, Broken in

CHARGED WITH PERJURY
Round-Table Scandal Draws Curious
Crowd to German Courtroom.
Danger to Public Morals
Makes Proceedings Secret.
BERLIN, June 29. "Prince Philip zu
Eulenberg appeared today before a judge
and jury to stand trial on charges of per
jury and subornation of perjury in con
nection with recent scandals, the revela
tion of which created such a sensation.
The proceedings, according to the law
yers engaged in the case, are likely to be
gTeatly prolonged, owing to the large
number of witnesses to be examined,
while interruptions are not unlikely, ow
ing to the precarious condition of the
health of the Prince.
Interest in the case has been growing
for months, due to statements and alle
gations implicating high personages, and
it culminated In the arrest of Prince zu
Eulenberg, who was formerly Ambassa
dor to Austria and the intimate adviser
rf the Emperor, on the demand of the
State's Attorney, who charges him with
falsifying his oath during the course of
previous suits relative to scandals, and
with inducing another witness to com
mit perjury.
Large crowds assembled today, both
outside the hospital where the Prince
has been under surveillance since his
arrest, and in the street fronting the
court. The Prince, however, averted a
demonstration by entering the court
through a side door half an hour before
the proceedings began. He arrived in
an ambulance, accompanied by a de
tective, and was wheeled Into court in an
Invalid chair. The prisoner looked cheer
ful and conversed In an animated way
with his wife and sons whll waiting for
the proceedings to begin. Although the
opening of the case was public, few per
sons beside newspaper men were admit
