line Bottles.
Philadelphia, July 10. Mrs. Irene
Caruso's attempt lo clean house with
gasoline caused an explosion which
seriously Injured the woman and her
three children and a fire which result
ed In n loss of $0.
Angelina, four years old, and Trazzlo,
two years old, arc so seriously burned
from Inhaling Humes that physicians at
the Samaritan hospital do not expect
them to live.
Mrs. Caruso carried twelve quarts of
gasoline up to her bedroom In prepara
tion for houseclci'nini:. She divided the
lluld among three glass bottles and pro
ceeded to saturate the woodwork of the
rooms with It.
Eight-year-old Sabnno. who was as
sisting her. stopped accidentally upon
n match. The tiny point of tlame twin
kled for an Instant and then burst into
n sheet of tlame. The three glass b t
ties exploded, cutting Mrs. Camso and
the children with flying lilts.
Mrs. Caruso, with her skirts blazing,
seized Trazzlo, the youngest child, and
tried to beat out the flames which en
veloped him.
Policeman Lnfferty was riding on a
car which was passing and he heard
people screaming and running up the
street. The car had Just started, and
before the niotormnn hnd time to open
the doors Lnfferty threw open one of
the windows and jumped ont while the
car was In motion.
Arriving nt the house, he ran up the
stairs and in the middle of the stair
way met Mrs. Cnruso carrying her
two-year-old son Trazzlo in her arms.

where he extinguished the (lames, and
then ran to the nearast patrol bos.
STEEL MEN GET INCREASE.
All Working Men Except Tonnage Men
Got 10 Per Cent Advance.
Pittsburgh, July 115. Notice of an In
crease of 10 per cent in wages of all
working men, except tonnage men, was
posted in all the Jones & Laughlln
plants. The increase has already be
come effective.
The wage advance came as a sur
prise, as there had been no notice that
such a thing was contemplated. More
than 0,000 men are nffected, and the
monthly payroll will be enlarged by
approximately $100,000. The Jones &
Laughlln Steel compnny Is the biggest
competitor of the United States Steel
corporation In the Pittsburgh district.
The wage advance will certainly be fol
lowed by a slmlllar boost by the steel
corporation an advance of 1 cents an
hour. The change affects all working
men, skilled and unskilled, who work
by the day or the hour. It has no ef
fect upon the men who work on a ton
nage basis. The men at the coke plants
of the Jones & Laughlln steel company
are included.

Against Fusion Between His Forces
and "Successful Dishcnesty."
Oyster Bay, N. 1., July Hi. In ex
pressing his emphatic disapproval
again of the plan by which In some
states Republican and progressive pres
idential electors identical upon both
tickets shall be pledged to support the
candidate of the ticket upon which he
receives tho most votes Colonel Roose
velt made clearer than ever before his
determination that the progressive
movement should bo bound by no ties
to tho Republican party.
"I will acquiesce," he said, "in no
compromise whatever."
Colonel Roosevelt's position Is that
his strength is to be exerted for the
progressives and for them only. He Is
unwilling that there should be any
thing resembling compromise between
his forces and those which he claims
represent "successful dishonesty." As
a secondary consideration, he declares,
ho is averse to tho scheme, because in
lining up with the Republican party he
would alienate the independent and
Democratic progressive vote for which
he bids.
