NEW ' YORK. 'AprlTSO. The explosion
of an enormous ..electric -generator to
night in the lighting" plant of the New
York Edison Company at Thirty-eighth
street and" First -avenue turned darkness
on New York's most brilliantly lighted
district. The explosion was followed by
fire, and although the firemen responded
promptly the water' only" spread the
flames.
For half an hour Broadway was almost
in darkness. The foot-lights in half
-dozen theaters, were so dim - that the
actors were hardly distinguishable to the
auditors. Scores of little moving picture
theaters were put out of commission, and
Beilevue Hospital attendants were busy
for many minutes quelling a panic among
the patients.
Emergency generators were finally

SAX FRANCISCO, - April 20. (Spe
cial.) The Order of Native Sons, at
a se6ret session today, ousted Abe Ruef,
who has been one of the most promt
iv'erit niembers6f the order for several
years. Ruef was thrown out without
ceremony. There were no formal
oharges, po hearing, but a simple dis
missal.
' it was the desire of the Native Sons
' to gel rid of Ruef with as little pub
licity as possible. The evidence against
h(n is such thit a hearing was not
"'deemed necessary. Members of the or
dcr took steps to verify what has been
I printed and .summary action followed.
The dismissal was made ostensibly for
the reason that Ruef, -as a member c
the visiting committee, had failed to
do his duty. Ruef is a grand trustee,
)!llnd it is Ills ;'duty to visit various
i bmiiches of the order during the year.

ARRESTED HERE IN MAY, 1905
Capture of Barrett and Paid Kept
Crooks Away From Fair5. -.'
William Barrett, alias Thompson, was
arrested in Portland in May; - .1905. in
company with other criminals ' of note.
and was held in Jail here until he was
turned over to the Baltimore authorities
upon the arrival of an officer from that
place. He has been released, after serv
ing a two-year term minus time allotted
for good behavior.
Barrett, "Fritzle" Dean and J. J. John
son, alias G. A. Houlon, forming tone of
the most notorious criminal trios in the
world, came to Portland in. May, 1905,
with the expectation of reaping a rich
harvest during the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. Fortune was againstr-them, how
ever, and their first "trick," the robbery
of the till at the Hotel Portland raths
keller, resulted in their arrest.
The robbery occurred Just about closing
time at the hotel bar. The men ordered
drinks. One quickly drank his - liquor,
slipped to the till, robbed it and left
the place, while the others engaged the
bartender in conversation. The robbery
was discovered so quickly that an alarm
was raised and the criminals were dis
concerted. The tlll-tapper and his pals
rushed upstairs and took refuge In the
corridors, hoping to get into a room and
conceal themselves or to get out by
means of the fire escapes. C. R. Nichols,
at that time employed as a special officer.
about the hotel, and other employes
located the crooks two of whom they suc
ceeded in taking captive.
Barrett escaped and it was never
known what room he occupied except
tnat ne remained at the hotel where he
had registered under an assumed name.
When he left the place in the morning.
he was followed, but dodged the'
shadow" and managed to get as far as
the United States National Bank,' Third
and Oak streets, where he was
recognized as a criminal by a negro
employe. Detective Dan Welner was
summoned and arrested Barrett.
xue prompt arrest or tne noted trio
discouraged not only them, but many
other expert criminals throughout - the
country, the police stated, and as a result
the city was free from crimes of a sensa
tional nature during the fair.
Leishinan Puts Porte in the Hole.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April HWAmbas-
sador Leishman has made a new move in
the American school question by which he
has Dlaced the Porte In tne awkward po
sition of appearing to- thwart the will of
the Sultan. In his last communication to
the Foreign Office, the Ambassador point
edlv called attention to the fact that not
withstanding the formal promises and
pledges of His Majesty that a satisfac
tory settlement of the school question
would be arranged, the Porte has utterly
failed to carry out the imperial assur
ances. The action of Mr. Leishman in
thus holding the Porte responsible for the
delay Is regarded in diplomatic circles
here as being very adroit. Even. Turkish
circles admit that It places the govern
ment In the unenviable light of seeming
to oppose the execution of the Sultans
promises.

Found at" Gloversvllle.
GLOVERSVItLK, , N. Y.. April 20.-The
latest development ' in the case of Al
Allen, suspected of. having custody of the

Gloversvllle Sunday. Deputy Sheriff Hubbs
of Mechanlcsvllle. -this state, who, with
D. H. Murphy, has been investigating the
case for the past month, visited Glovers
vllle today and saw Allen, his alleged
wife and the boy. He stated that he had
no doubt that the Gloversvllle police had
the right man In custody.
The child bears a striking resemblance
to the Marvin boy, even to having a slight
scar over tne eye.
