THE TRAGEDY STOPS THE WAR GANIF. During The Target Practice The Hreech-lock Of A Twelve-inch Gun Is Mown Off And The Kntire Gun Crew Is Mowed Down Several Bodies Cnt In Two And The Dis membered Parts Blown Into The Water Wives Of Officers And Men See Their Husbands Slain. Army And Navy Mourns. Eleven men died after an ex plosion of a 12-inch gun at Fort Monroe. They were trying to bent the firing record, and so many of the crew are dead the cause may never be known. All were members of the Sixty-ninth Company, Coast Artil lery. In the presence of high army officials they' were taking part in a "defense" of tho entrance to the Chesapeake Bny. Fort Monroe, Va. (Special). Eleven men of the Coast Artillery are dead as the result of the blowing out of a breech block in one of tho big guns while the fort was engaged In target practice. A half dozen others are in the post hospital, one of whom may die. Tho exact of the explosion Is not yet definitely determined, although a board of Inquiry was appointed im mediately after the disaster by or ders from the War Department In Washington. The toll of death, It is believed, would have been larger had It not been for the heroism displayed both by the officers and men In the bat tery. Tho wounded forgot their hurts and aided the uninjured In stamping' out the burning powder t hat threatened the sacks In which the charge for a second shot had been brought up. The explosion took place In Bat tery Do Russey, No. 1 gun doing the damage. Tho run was In charge of Capt. James Prentice, who had with him Lieuts. George P. Hawes, Jr., and George L. Van Deusen. Lieuten ant Hawes had gone forward from the breech to examine the range wheel when the charge waB exploded. He was thrown down and momentari ly stunned, but otherwise unin jured. Eight men were killed outright, their bodies lying scattered around the emplacement. Under the pall the wounded writhed and moaned. Captain Prentice and Lientenant Hawes foresaw a further sacrifice of life If the other charges caught from the smoldering sparks and the two sent out a call for surgeons, while they attacked the flames with their bare hands. Captain Prentice reached the em placement first, and before looking into the extent of the damage he pushed his way through the smoke' and sparks and carried out a bag of powder. He then wa3 Joined by Hawes, and the two completed the task of averting a further explosion. During this time Lientenant Van Deusen lay crumpled beneath the gun, his leg broken In two places. He was suffering agonies, but when his brother officers sought to remove him he would not permit tliem to touch hlra. "See to the men first," he order ed, and, propped against the gun carriage, he aided In directing tho work of the rescue party and the surgeons. Col. C. P. Townsely, commandant of the fort, promptly ordered an In vestigation. While no decision had yet been reached, Colonel Townsley advanced his theory of the disaster. "It 1b evident," he said, "that the explosion occurred during the Inser tion of the breech block Into the breech of the gun and before It had been rotated and locked in place. The safety devices on the gun are intended to make a premature dis charge impossible. Just how they failed to operate probably never will be known to a certainty. Every member of the detachment who could explain It was killed." Girls liiavor Than Man. Wlnstead. Ct. (6pcclal).

A Strange ("use. Chicago (Special). Death came to Ira Q'. Rawn, president of the Monon Railroad supposedly from a bullet fired by himself, but certainly on the eve of possible exposure as a central figure of what Is declared may be one of the greatest railway scandals of the country.
