I FRESNO IBT TANK EXPLODES ONE MAS KILLED AM) ANOTHER DANGEKOISLY WOCXDKD Ati RESULT OF DISASTER. Fire Destroys the Sherry Tank Iluili: lng, Containing Over 250,000 Gallons of Wine. Fresno, Cal., Sept. 5. As a result of a terrific explosion, the shock of which was felt for a radius of ten miles, one man was killed- and an other dangerously wounded, an 1 $300,000 worth of property was de stroyed, yesterday, at the big Calv.a winery of the California Wine Asso ciation, about three miles from town on the Malaga road. The explosion was followed by .fire, which completed the havoc, and win responsible for the major portion of the loss. The explosion demolished a bl ; brick building and partially wreck? 1 adjoining brick structures of th largest sweet wine making estab lishment In the State. The cook house and bonded warehouse alone escaped damage. The fire destroyed the sherry tank building, containing over 250,000 gallons of wine, an adjacent ware house and several hundred cords of wood, besides damaging the fermen tation cellar and setting Ore to grass fields south of the plant. The explosion took place in the sherry oven, where wine was being subjected to pasteurizing process, and may have resulted from one of several causes, the one most likely, spontaneous combustion of gases from the overheating of the wine. The man killed was Henry Shell ing, 45 years of age, of San Fran cisco, a cripple who came here as a refugee after the fire. He was sitting near the entrance of the building in which the explosion occurred. Ilia remains have not yet been recov ered.

TRYING TO SAVE WEBER A SENSATIONAL AFFIDAVIT IS FILED IN THE ADOLPH WEBER CASE. Sacramento, Sept. 5. A startling affidavit n behalf of Adolph Weber, awaiting execution on conviction of having murdered his mother at Au burn, was filed with Governor Pardee yesterday. Mrs. Isabel Potter, .of Fernley, Nevada county, deposes that she re Bided at Auburn at the time the tragedy occurred and that when she heard the first alarm of fire she ran to her front gate, about 350 yards from and opposite the Weber house. She heard a scream and then saw a woman's face at a window, which she afterwards learned was in Mrs. Web er's bedroom. The woman at the window cried: "Save me, save me, for God's sake, save me." Mrs. Potter further avers that at this time not more than one minute had elapsed from the sounding of the first alarm and that the lower story of the Weber home was then in flames, which Illuminated the second story, enabling her to see the woman at the window. The evidence of the prosecution was that when the first alarm sound ed 'only a slight blaze could be seen in the Weber home and this came from the clothing of the murdered people, which had been set afire In the hope of concealing evidence of the murder. The prosecution also contended, fortified by general evidence, that first Weber killed his relatives and carried their bodies downstairs, where he set fire to them. The fact that even at this late day testimony that a woman was seen at the upper window while the house was wrapped in flames Is considered Im portant. Mrs. Potter avers that she toll!

S. N., was dismissed from the service of the United States yesterday. Lieutenant Dunn was attached to the receiving ship Independence at the Mare Island (California) Navy Yard, and was recently convicted by courtmartlil of scandalous conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, and sentenced to dismissal. The charge against Dunn was chiefly based upon his action in en tertaining aboard the Independence Miss Marion Churchill, a young wo man of Vallejo. It was shown at the trial that they had participated in a revel in which quantities of liquor I were consumed, and that when Dunn ! was ordered by Captain Harber to : put the woman off the ship he re fused, until Captain Harber threat ened to have her thrown off. Dunn's defense was that he had been drinking and was mentally irre sponsible. Vallejo, Cal., Sept. 5. No sur prise was manifested here when it became known that President Roose velt had signed the order for the dis missal of Lieutenant Dunn. In fact. It was believed from the first that no defense which Dunn might offer could save him from extreme punish ment. STARTLING STATISTICS PROF. FORTIER CLAIMS THAT MODE OF IRRIGATION RE SULTS IN GREAT LOSS Boise, Idaho, Sept. 6. At the Na tional Irrigation Congress yesterday Dr. Elwood Mead of the Government Reclamation Service, spoke of "The Evolution of Irrigation Institutions," dealing with the steady development from private ownership of small water rights into a great system of community and Government owner ship. Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pen dleton, Ore., spoke of the "Social Side of Irrigation." Some startling statistics were pre sented by Professor Samuel Fortler Of the University of California in hit discussion of "The Value of a High Duty of Water and the means of Obtaining It." Professor Fortler's address dealt with the loss of water through waste. He made the asser tion that in the Western States fully a million dollars was expended an nually In securing and distributing water for irrigation, and that of this water thus distributed fully 75 per cent was wasted, causing a net loss to the people of the Western States of more than $35,000,000. He ex pressed the opinion, however, that 11 of this loss could not be prevent ed, though he believed that fully ten per cent of this enormous loss could be saved. Alexander McPherson of Twin Falls, Idaho, discussed the "Duty of Water and the Meat Method of Apply ing it to Crops." Mr. McPherson told of experiments on a forty-acre farm at Twin Falls, on which are grown fifty different kinds of crops. His experiments, he said, had dem onstrated the correctness of Profes sor Fortler's theory of losses through excessive Irrigation. He stated that a total of thirty-six Inches of water was applied to the farm during the year and of this amount he estimated 77.7 per cent was lost. United States Senator Carter of Montana presided at the meeting. A FAMILY HOW. Fanner Quarrels With His Wife and Sou Turns Revolver on Father. San Jose, Sept. 5. E. J.
