EteTedore -Plunges Hook
Into Bale and Explosion
Results Police Believe
Machine Was Put Aboard
at Hamburg.
. (Hunt Maw by Leafest Leases Wire.)
Philadelphia, June 20. In a ter
rific explosion which ripped vp the
decks of the big Ilamburg-Anjerican
liner Arcadia In the Delaware rlrer
today, three colored longshoremen
were instantly Killed, five re
ceived Injuries from which they can
not recover and z& othera were
hurt. "
Tonight it was disclosed ' that a
powerful bomb hadjioen placed in
bale of goods shipped from Ham
burg; the infernal machine being
fitted with electric wires and so
constructed that when a longshore
man struck the bale with his hook
the shock would cause the explosion
In the minds of the chief of po
lice, the coroner and all officials
who are Investigating ' the tragedy,
there is no doubt that' the machine
was stowed away at Hamburg' when
tho freighter, one " of the toiggest
making this portr left for America,
The . Hamburg-American line has
had serious-trouble with the long
shoremen at Hamburg. The ? men
struck two weeks agOi . A week later
the line officials raised salaries and
the longshoremen returned to work
But the company laid off 78 Inspect
ors and 200 workmen, saying, there
was no labor to be done to warrant
tne retention of the men.' On these
facts the authorities base their be
lief that in revenge some workman
placed the Infernal machine on the
ship, having accomplices on Doara.
The story pf the tragedy la a strange
one. attended by many unusual features.
Captain Scharschmidt had docked his
big freighter and every preparation had
been made to unload the general cargo.
This morning the longshoremen, ready
for a good day's work, Trent happily
down to the wharf and with many a
song, started their labors. Lucius Hub
bard, Coleman Henderson and William
H. Butler, all In the prime of sturdy
manhood the strongest and .most re
liaoie 'of their- fellows were- assigned
to go aft In the hold on the port side
and take care of valuable shipments.

Hour after hour they toiled away at
the task gingerly hoisting the costly
goods over the side. Henderson edged
bis way, according to survivors, through
a mass of bags, barrels and hales, to
get at a case which contained stuff
marked for Immediate delivery. He
swung his big hook upward and then
sunk It Into the side of the bale. In
an instant there was a roar, the shin
swung from side to side, the galley

Mr. Malarkev for the state concluded
his closing 'argument at 6 o'clock. A
few minutes was consumed reading over
the court's instructions to the jury and
at 6:10 they -were allowed to retire for
discussion. They had a preliminary bal

If this motion is denied Lem will be

Summary of Case.
The case .throughout has bsen a most
interesting and unusual one. The mur
der occurred on March T and was the
roan it of a war in the Bow On ton a-.
Lee Tal Hoi, ths victim, was one of
ths three weauniesx meronants in fore
land's Chinatown his Income was the
largest and hs was ths biggest
"spender." He left his store on First
street at about 0:20 In the evening,
entered his home In the Old Arlington
club building at Fourth and Pine streets',
and started to go up-atairs. ' When he
reached the third step three men who
had been concealed behind a door at
ths end of the first landing stepped out
and shot him. Le fell back down the
stairs and lay there a minute while the
three Chinese watched him. Then they
riddled his body with bullets and ran
out of ths building.

BELIEVED WORST
OF FLOOD PAST
Mississippi Elver at Stand
still Few Inches Below
35-Foot Mark.
(United Pre Leased Wire.)
St. Louis, Mo.. June JO. With the
Mississippi at a standstill a few Inches
below the 35 foot stage, the worst of
what is easily the second greatest flood
recorded is believed to bs over.
In 1903 ths river rose to a height of
SS feet This is the next high record
from the headwaters of the Missouri to
the gulf. The flood has caused enor
mous damage. Of loss of life there has
been little.
The warnings given tf the coming In
undation to the farmers and persons
living in the danger regions to escape
gave them time to leave.
Those who lost their lives were per
sons who were swept to death when
they dared the terrible tide' and were
carried away, or fell Into the raging
watera
Nothing like an accurate estimate of
tne loss can De given, in Missouri aione
10,000 acres of rich farm land have been
flooded. The crops are a total loss.
In Alton 1400,000 damage to property
was caused. All along the river there
has been similar damage. The estimates
run into the millions. Lower down the
river the cotton lands of Louisiana and
Mississippi have been flooded. , Levees
were washed away and the fields
flooded.
In ether states great loss was also
sustained. In Oklahoma there have
been severe floods on a small scale.
Heavy rains for over a period of two
weeks caused the streams to swell.
Much loss of life has. occurred, and
it is believed so persons navs Deen
drowned. There, too, tbe worst of the

streams will be within their banks.

Tired of Senseless Delay En

Build Own Railroad.
Over in Crook county ths inhabitants
have leached ths stage of desperation
where people get out with picks, shov
els and scrapers and build their own
railroad in order to get crops to the
markets. This is the course that has
been adopted by the business men. and
farmers of Bend, Prlnevllls, Madras and
other points. With an Initial capital
of 150,000 they propose to construct a
railroad from Shanlko, ths Columbia
Southern terminus, to Bend, 90 miles.
"The people of Crook county have
grown tired waiting for railroad com'
panles to do something toward giving
central Oregon transportation, and they
are going to start In to build their own
road- said Jesse (Stearns, counsel for
the- Deschutes Irrigation and Power
Company. "The Wilson Creek baaln
last year produced 1.600,000 bushels of
grain, xne population ana crop output
are rapidly increasing year after year.
The rains this year have helned con

great, crop next rail. Tne people are
freighting everything in and out ot

a declaration In favor of publicity as to
