Lieutenant William C. Davidson
a native of Ind'ana and was appointed
a midshipman from South Dakota,
September 28, 1891. He was graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1895 and
assigned to the Olympla. He was pro

tenant (Junior grade) July 1, 1900, and
Heutenant June 16, 1902. He was as
signed to the, Missouri when she went
into commission and was serving as a
turret officer at the tlm«> of his death.
His wife, Mrs. Julia Davidson,, resides
at 1003 McCulloch street, Baltimore,

Navy Department, announcing the
death of her husband; -. : Lieutenant

The smokeless powder is put into
the twelve-inch grun in three sections,
each bag or section weighing 120
pounds. Some officers say that the
turrets of the Missouri had no bot
toms and express the opinion that
after this accident the turrets of all
battleships will be equipped with bot
toms for the protection of the men in
the handling-room underneath.
The officers of the Missouri were
especially well known in Washington.
Captain Cowles served as ¦ assistant
chief of the Bureau of Navigation and
most of the officers killed were widely
known here.. Both Midshipman Neu
mann, and Ward are understood' to
have been engaged to be married. It
is said Midshipman Neumann was to
be married to the- sister of Midship
man Ward. The two midshipmen. were
classmates and intimate ' friends.' At

our anxiety to surpass the world in
the rapidity of big gun fire. I fear we
have permitted our enthusiasm to get
the better of our judgment. It would
seem from . the dispatch that-, not
enough time had been allowed to
elapse between the firings. It is only
recently that we have permitted the
breech to be opened almost the mo
ment the gun was fired, and in so do
ing there is necessarily a risk. Ap
parently all but three men in the
handling-room were killed. How nar
rowly the entire ship escaped destruc
tion outright is realized when it is re
called that near by is the magazine
containing anywhere from 50 to 100
charges."
"The Missouri accident is -too ap
palling to. discuss. But I fear, that en
thusiasm in making world's records
has led us past the danger line. In
It can be stated that officials of the
department for more than a week
past, while rejoicing in the world
breaking, records in target practice on
our warships, have feared Just such
sn accident as. has occurred on the
Missouri. -A -'naval expert to-night
said:
Captain John E. Pillsbury, assistant
chief of the bureau of navigation, re
mained constantly at his desk and with
the other officers of the bureau and a
clerical force started arrangements to
care for the bodies of the officers and
men. Secretary Moody is preparing
a dispatch of sympathy to be sent to
Roar Admiral Barker, commander In
chief of the North Atlantic fleet, re-
Questing him to convey to the com
mander, the officers and men of the
Missouri the profound sympathy of the
department.
With only the brief dispatch " from
Admiral Barker telling how the acci
dent occurred, all the officials of the
department, from Secretary Moody
down, hesitate to attempt an explana
tion of it. The fact, however, that
three rounds had been fired and an
other shell had been sealed and two
sections of powder rammed home when
the explosion occurred In -the opinion
of an official of the department would
lead to an inference that the accident
might have been caused by some pow
der from the previous charges which
remained in the gun when the third
charge was put in. .
WASHINGTON. April 13.— The entire
Navy Department is stunned by the
appalling catastrophe on board the
Missouri. The bureau of navigation has
been active since the first news of the
accident reached here, "shortly after 4
o'clock- Although the commanding of
ficer of the Missouri, Captain W. S.
Cowles, as soon as he arrived at Pen
sacola, sent dispatches to the nearest
of kin of the men killed, the depart

promising the Senate committee that. Is
investigating- the Smoot case that^he
would do all in his power to secure the

formed President Smith they did not
care to go, and that he would not urge
them. ¦ ¦.¦ .
Both are accused of taking plural

To-day "El Campanil." the beauti
fur mission bell tower at Mills College,
will be dedicated with elaborate cere
monies. Large numbers of guests, for
mer pupils and graduates of the col
lege will go over on the 12:30 o'clock
boat. ... ¦
The tower was presented to Mills Col
lege by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Smith, and
the bells, whose sweet tones „ rang out
the fleeting hours at . the Midwinter
Fair have been given by David Hewes.
Strongly suggestive in outline is the
tower to the famous old campanile at
the mission at Pala, bullded a century
ago by Padre, Francisco; Falou, and
on the top; of which a • cactus stands
to-day: a-blooming. ' .v * ;
The college is making elaborate prep
arations f or M the reception to guests
that follows the dedication. i .
. In the * drawing-room, beneath a
roseate bower, the twain were made
one, the solemn ceremony having been
witnessed by relatives and a' few inti
mate friends. Attended solely by the
winsome Miss Mabel Hogg, gowned in
pink chiffon cloth and bearing pink
roses, the bride presented a bewitching
picture in her nuptial robe, of embroid
ered crepe, with exquisite' settings pf
duchesse, and rose point lace.' -From
her pretty head fell a voluminous veil
of tulle and in her arms she bore lilies
of the. valley— sweet symbols of con
stancy'. ? . . .:
The groom was attended by EdAyard
de Laveaga,, a brother. Mr. de Laveaga
is a clever fellow, a University of Cali
fornia graduate and is rated as one of
the wealthiest young men in the city.
The destination of the young people,
who will, leave this morning for their
post-nuptial trip. -is,, of course, a secret
locked deep in their. breasts. On their
return they will reside in this city.
Last night as the town clock tolled
the hour of 9 Miss Florence Callaghan,
fair daughter of Mrs. Daniel Cal
laghan, became the bride of J. Vincent
de Laveaga.; Owing to the deli
cate health of the mother of the
bride the nuptial service was per
formed by his Grace Archbishop Rior
dan at her residence, though it was
much regretted that a wedding at the
high altar of the cathedral was not
possible, .the. solemnity and beauty, of
the service was not perceptibly marred,
for the home was made glad, with the
blossoms of spring, great branches of
budding bloom spreading above and
beyond like the cherry gardens of the
Far East. ; /

Apostle John Henry Smith also says

They do not propose to have their fam
ily relations proclaimed throughout the
land through their own act, unless un
der compulsion.
"President Smith has not as yet been
able to locate Dr. J. M. Tanner, and is
not under any obligations to procure
witnesses in the case before the com
mittee. The gentlemen named used
their own free agency in this matter,

had Just reached there when the more
terrible explosion in the handling room
occurred, which burned and strangled
them to death.
Lieutenant Davidson, the officer In
Captain Cowles caught up a dying
bluejacket in his arms and staggered
to the deck with him. The bluejacket,
with two others from the handling
room, had crawlod partly from their
place of duty when they had been
overcome. Before the fumes of the
burring powder had left the turret
officers and men were laying out the
dead and dying men. Three minutes
after the explosion all were on deck,
and the surgeons from the Missouri.
Texas and Brooklyn were attending to
those not dead. The twenty-five men
of the turret were found lying in a
heap. They had started for the exit
when the first explosion occurred, and
In loss than five seconds after the
first explosion two streams of water
were being played in the rooms, and
when volunteers were called for every
man responded, eager to go into the
turret and rescue the crew. Captain
Cowles grave his commands calmly,
and but for his presence of mind and
that of the officers of' the ship the
Missouri would have gone down.
The second explosion occurred near
one of the magazines, and so hot was
the fire that the brass work of the
magazines was me'ted. Smoke and
the fumes of the burned powder made
it almost impossible to enter either the
turret or handling-room, but tjfflcers
and men, with handkerchiefs over
their faces, made efforts to rescue- the
men inside. Leading the rescuing
party was Captain Cowles. The offi
cers endeavored to keep him from go
ing below, as men fell unconscious as
they entered and had to be pulled out
by their comrades: but, unheeding their
advice, the commanding officer rushed
below, followed by Lieutenant Ham
mer, the ordnance officer, and Lieu

water.
The breech was open, and a thud j
pave notice of something unusual. No
other report was made, but flames were
seen to leap from every portion of the
turret. A few seconds later another
explosion, somewhat more fierce, oc
curred. This was in the handling
room, where 1600 pounds of powder,

DB. PIESCE'S REMEDIES.
Tlie distracting headaches from
bo many women rufler make life a daily
purgatory. If men suffered vrith head-
ache as women do, business vrould be
clmost zl a sianEtiil. Does not the fact
that men do not suffer from these severe
Lcadaches suggest that there must be a
womanly cause ifor them ?
When the womanly organism i3 dis-,
cased, headache, backache, nervousness
end sleeplessness are consequences which
arc sure to follow.
