33rd YEAR. NO. 90 ASTORIA, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1908 PRICE FIVE CENTS THOUSANDS HOMELESS Six Million Do i: Chelsea n SOLDIERS GUARD RUINS Scores of Persons, Including Firemen and Policemen, Overcome by Smoke FOUND 3 CHARRED BODIES The Fire Wii Discovered at 10.30 Sunday Morning st the Plant at the Blacking Factory-and Fanned by a Stiff Breeze Spread Rapidly. From the embcs of yesterday's conflagration in Chelsea there arose today a well organized movement for aid and relief to flic 10,000 homeless, counting of the cost by Insurance companies, whose representatives placed their losses at $3,500,000 and a determination by the city authorities to rebuild the 350 acres swept over by the flames, where stood before the fire property valued at nearly '$6,000, 000. No further deaths are reported today and of all the injured only two were believed to be in a critical con dition. Comparatively little suffering Is reported among the fire victims today. So prompt and efficient was the relief work begun yesterday that practically no one was without shel ter during the night. Today the re lief work was taken up by those who handled the Massachusetts fund for the San Francisco sufferers. Early today Mayor Beck 'issued an appeal to the country, but after a conference with acting Governor Draper the ap peal was amended to include only the State. The announcement was made ilnt i?(wwi 1.1,1 I.-.. I k k senption in Boston before noon. In addition the city of Chelsea appro priated $10,000 and a resolution in troduced into the Legislature calling for $100,000 from the State. Many of the nearby cities have announced the starting of subscription papers and the city governments' of others will hold special meetings to act on the matter. BOSTON, April 13.Ten thousand persons rendered homeless, at least J three burned to death, half a hundred injured, and a property loss of be tween $7,500,000 and $10,000,000 sum marize the record of disaster which confronts the city of Chelsea as the result of the great fires of yesterday. A blackened and smoldered mass of ruins marks the sites of some of the finest public buildings of the city historic churches, valuable factory and business structures as well as hundreds of houses, covers a belt three quarters of a mile wide, stretch ing across the city for a distance of a mile and a half. The city was not formally placed under martial law but as a result of reports of looting, the entire burned section and its environs were patrol led by Marine from the Charlestown Navy Yard and sixteen companies of state militia, Infantry men and artil lery men. The soldiers I were supplied, with ten rounds of ball cartridges. Adju tant Gen. Wm. H. Bingham of the staff of Gov Guild had personal'di rection of the work of the r militia. Cen. Bingham said the situation did not seem to justify a proclamation of martial law but after a consulta tion with Mayor Jos. Beck of Chelsea, stringent measures were being taken to prevent, as far as possible) any acts of vandalism. 1 Karly to-day a consignment of the military from the state camp grounds at South Framingham were placed at the disposal of the relief committee Hundreds of them were set up on the public play grounds in Everett, an adjoining town, while others were erected on open ground in the burne district was calculated that these tents, each of which will accommo date five persons would serve to shel tcr about one-half of th e homeless people. The charitable organ! zations in .Boston and other near by places are taking care of the re mnindcr. While only three persons are posi tively known to have lost their lives in the fire, it is feared that a search of the ruins by day light will dis close more victims. The bodies of the dead are at the North Grove Street Morgue. They are burned beyond recognition. Two of the bod ies are those of women. The other is that of a man. All met death ap parently while fleeing from the flames and their charred bodies were found. in the streets whee they have fallen. None of them had been identified early to-day. Scores of persons, Including many firemen and policemen were over come by smoke, while many suffered severely from burns received in fight ing the fire. At the hospital it was said to-day that all of the more ser iously injured were doing well. The tire was discovered v at 10.30 Sunday morning at the plant of the Blacking Factory at the northwest crn end of the city, and, fanned by i stiff breeze, it spread rapidly. It swept a path of ruin through the business section aud destroyed ten ement houses on either side, was only stopped when it reached Chelsea Creek, a mile and a half distant. It is said tthe fire orginated in a refuse pile on the citydump, where rag pickers had kindled a fire to dry some wet rags. According to insurance men, the to tal loss will exceed $7,500,000 and may rcac $H),UU0,UUU. The insur a nee is estimated roughly at $5,000, 000. The burned buildings including the Frost Hospital, Children's Hos pital Fitz library, Thirteen churches, four schools, the state armory, the county and Chelsea Savings Bank, the Winnismet National Bank, the Frovicdnt Co-operative Bank, the Chelsea Trust Co., Chelsea postoffice, Hotel Savoy, Chelsea Y.

RATHER CHEAP HAGGLING- It may be said, in passing that there is scarcely a biennial legislative ses sion held in Oregon, at which there is not expended, in immensely less compensating ways than for the up lift and progress of one of the State's prideful institutions, as much, and of ten more, than the $125,000 it is pro posed to grant the University of Ore gon; and the haggling that has been done conveys to the world about us, the impression of our cheapness and smallness in things educational. j With a board of regents culled from the brain and character of the State, it would seem that so pitiful a sum as this might be freed, for legi timate uses from the treasury, with out the chance of financial paralysis, or cataclysmal graft; that the great State of Oregon might do this thing with the same spirit and high intel ligence wherewith other States grant millions in such behalf; that$ she might realize that her sons and .daughters are without price when it comes to their equipment for life and its strifes, achievements and graces; that as a great commonwealth she might at least do as much as hund f individuals are doine. daily, X tiJ V

We have chafed, for years, against the non-acceptance of what, as a river and tidal terminus, we believed we had to offer, and have, with the .1,1. advantage of the rail. We are still relying upon the inevitable, and we know it is nearer than it has been ever in our history. But we know, also, that the to Utnibia river bar, with the best of workinor deoths across it, would be 9 serving but a fraction of its immense duty if only the rail traffic from thi Inland Empire were to go hence via our doors; and that we need every open navigable waterway behind us we can get, and above all, an open, deep and traversable Columbia, to its uttermost mile. With the Columbia river navigable for 1,000 miles the commerce of the lower cities and towns would in crease 1,000 fold, and as we lie at the sea-end of the vast system, we shall stultify ourselves if we do not stand oat for the greatest improvement oD tainable for this mighty artery and all its tributaries. We want a water way tonnage from the interior that shall stagger the exporting facilities nnint of deDarture. from vv.j r j Portland to the sea, for every chan nel it shall traverse leads to this port.

It stands not only for the fixing of legitimate limits to the legitimate in dustry of fishing for, the markets of the world, but amplifies that market for long years to come, by putting a stop to the relentless murder f fry and eggs and makes the spawning of salmon something more than a use less natural function. The affirmative vote on bill No. 332 may drive, at least, 13 people out of business, and a nefarious business at that: while it perpetuates the legit imate calling and maintenance of ten thousand people and millions of in vested money on the lower Columbia, along with an annual revenue to the neoole of the State of over ?3,00U,UUU; and we cannot imagine a popularly stupid indifference, great enough, in Oregon, to compass anything else than the triumph of this bill, over the specious and desperate pleas of tth men whnsp buccaneering fish- wheels have wrought them wealth while it devastated a magnificent industry.

TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1908, 3 ADDITIONAL DUTIES Imposed Upon Public Health and Hospital Service METHODS FOR PREVENTION Besides Providing for the Invent! gstlon of the Preventable Diseases, the BUI Authorlxes the Widespread Dissemination by Meant of Bulla- tine. Two bills affecting the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service have been introduced into Congress, and their enactment would inaugurate a very important movement In the intercut of preventive medicine in this country. The function of thin service have, been enlarged so often In response to the growing demand for more active participation by the government In the prevention of die eaie, that it la necessary from time to time to provide by legislation the authority and. facilities required by the service to meet Its new responsi bilities. The bill entitled A bill to ifirther protect the public health, and imposing additional duties upon the rublic Health and Marine Hospital Service" (H. R. 18792, S. 6101) does thia, but, in addition, it provides for the broadest Investigation by the crvlce into the prevalence1, thte con ditions influencing the spread, the methods for the prevention and sup pression of "tuberculosis, typhoid fever, rabies, and other diseases af fecting man." This bill, If It becomes a law, will mark the beginning of aggressive action by the government In the pre vention of thoae diseases which cause the greatest waste of life, and In en trusting the first organized campaign to the Public Health and Marine Hos pital Service assurance is given that Congress has been aroused to the necessity of assuming, within its con stitutional limits its important share in the warfare against disease, Be aides providing for the investigation of the preventable disease, the bill authorizes the widespread dissemina tion, by means of bulletins exhibits and reports, of the results obtained as well as of practical information a to the control of infectious disease. Trovislon is made for the establish ment of a school of hygiene under the administration of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, In which instruction may be received by accredited health officers of States, countries, and municipalities, and for the detail of commissioned officers of the service, upon request of the prop er health authorities, to cooperate In the sanitary work of states and. terri tories. In accordance with recom mendations made by Surgeon Ccncral Wyman in his last annual report, cer tain additional administrative officer.' nre provided for in the bill. These Include an assistant surgeon general, to have charge of a new division (that w or waicr suddiich ana Rcwcraitcj h sanitary engineer ot hign attainments, niu a solicitor conversant wim kcii- eil and local laws and regulations relating to the public health. The growth of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service illus trates the beneficial effect of reward ing the efficient performance of one task by the imposition of a more dif ficult one.

"BILLY" BURKE'S POPULARITY Jhe sudden, popularity of Billie Burke, overleaping anything antic! pated by her manager, is another ef fective answer to foreign criticism of the American managers for the exis tence of the star system. All such criticism, of course, is either error grounded upon a flabby-minded eon fusion of Ideas, or a total blindness to facts. It Is to forgef, for exam ple, that since the day Noah followed the last goat Into the ark and then locked the outside door on the first circus Mother Earth ever had, man agers do not lead but are led by their public. With no other thought jn mind than obtaining the best avail able leading lady for John Drew, Charles Frohman brought Billie Burke to America and gave her the part of "Trlxie" in "My Wife." Then everybody that saw the play became infected with Billie.burkitis and with that her picture was framed In gold and hung in the lobby of the F.mpire Theatre-Charles Frohman's quiet way of obliRlng the public that has always obliged him to oblige it.

BOND STREET created In many quarters an impres sion that the Fowler Bill and 'the Oklahoma plan of guarantee are wild and radical. As a matter of fact, they are simple and conservative.' The guarantee feature is merely every-day mutual insurance applied to bank de posits. The State or Nation does not guarantee, it merely holds the guar antee fund as trustee. The Okla homa act Is more conservative in some respects than our national bank ing laws. It rcguires twenty per cent reserve in towns having. a popu lation of less than 2.S0O, and twenty five per cent in communities larger than 2,500. Our national laws re quire only fifteen per cent, outside of reserve cities. It is an old device to discredit a proposed law by calling it too radical, and by cloaking crit icism in apparent conservatism. "The Fowler Billbases its note issue upon the same underlying prin ciples gold reserve and liquid assets, upon which rests the notes issued by the Bank of France,, usually admitted to be the best example of a central national bank. The bill divides the country into banking districts, and places the responsibility for banking methods in each district upon the banks in that district, and insures care and watchfulness by assessing twenty-five per cent of local losses upon each district. It offers induce ment to the state banks and trust companies to take out national char ters and thus unify our banknig sys tem and strengthen bank reserves. It gradually substitutes gold for our three hundred and forty-six million of legal tenders now only partly secured. Surely these measures are not wild and radical." "But, do not some of-the bankers object to guaranteeing each other?" was asked. "Yes," replied Mr. Bush, "some of them are very decidedly opposed to a mutual guarantee. I discovered this in Omrfha, where one of the leading bankers spoke in opposition to my views." "Why do the bankers object to the provision? Would it not strengthen their position with the public and prevent bank runs?" "I believe most emphatically that it would," was the reply. "Of course those bankers who oppose the guar antee have several very plausible ar guments. One is that the "sk in volved is great; another is that a guarantee would encourage bad bank ing. I do not believe myself that either argument is well, founded.-' The risk, when reduced to a mathematical basis, is almost infinitesimal. Comp troller. Ridgley in his last report shows tthat on the average the losses to creditors of insolvent national banks from tthe beginning of the na tional banking system until October 31st, 1907, were approximately one thirteenth of one per cent of the an nual average of individual deposits. His figures show average deposits of $1,529,339,311 with annual average losses on claims proved of $1,114,223. That 'figures out at a percentage to deposits of 0.073, which is approxim ately one-thirteenth of one per cent." "Dox you mean to say that failed banks have shown losses equal to only one-thirteenth of one -per cent? was asked. "Oh, no, the percentage of defici ency ''n liabilites of., the institutions which have failed has been 19.17 or less than 20 per cent. Of course the percentage has differed with different institutions .and in different years. What is proposed by the guarantee of deposits is to pay these losses from a fund raised by all the- national banks. Vhcn this is distributed, it becomes so small in relation to tthe whole volume of their assets that it shrivels up to One-thirteenth of one per cent." "YoU say these are the average fig ures. They are not those of .last year?" "Yes, the figures I have used are the average for the entire life of the national banking system good years and bad covering fourteen years of specie suspension, the panic of 1873 and the long period of depcrssion which followed, the crisis of 1884, the panic of 1893, and the free silver campaign, "But how would the averge losses figure on last year's business?" was the next query. "I would like to show you," said Mr. Bush, "because it illustrates very well the working of the proposed guaranty fund under the Fowler Bill. The individual deposits in national banks at the time of the October statement were $4,319,035,402. The losses in failures during 1907 cannot be given, because the affairs of insol vent banks have not been closed. Ap plying the average of one- thirteenth of one per cent, however, one funds that the losses would have been about $3,320,000. Of this amount the Fow ler bill provides that one-quarter shall be assessed on the banks of the re demption district where the failure occurred, in order to give them a mo tive for close scrutiny of each other. The amount called for under this pro vision for one-quarter of the losses would be $830,000. This would have to be paid without regard to the guar anty fund. In the case of a bank with deposite of $1,000,000, the'assess ment on this account would be about $192.50. In the case of a bank with only $100,000 deposits, the assessment would be 19.25. This is certainly not a heavy burden." 1 "But how about the other three quarters of the losses?" "I am coming to that," was the re ply. The total estimated losses for the national banks of the country would be $3,320,000. The amount to be provided from the guaranty fund, after one-quarter had been assessed on the banks of a given district, would be $2,490,000. It is provided by the Fowler Bill that the banks shall re ceive interest ot one per cent upon their deposits in the guaranty fund. As the guaranty fund would amount to about $350,000,000, the interest re turned to the banks would be $3,500 000. Thus this single item alone would pay all losses charged to the guaranty fund and leave a surplus of $1,000,000. More than this, the guar-i anty fund is swelled by the tax of two pgr cent proposed by the Fowler Bill on the bank notes which it authorized.

"There are several answers to those' more than five times the losses charge arguments was the reply. "In the able to it. There are, of course, other first place, no bank officer who values charges for administration which are his head is going to fritter away the teviea against tnese receipts, but it is obvious that the income of the guar anty fund would more than meet all charges and losses and that it would never be necessary to dip into the principal of the fund except, per haps principal of the fund except, perhaps The public would be guaranteed sixty five times over by the principal of the guaranty fund, because five per cent of the deposits would be sixty-five times the average losses," and would also be guaranteed several times over by the income from the fund. Cer tainly there would be. no motive for the public to withdraw deposits be cause of distract of the solvency of banks, and the burden of meeting possible losses would fall more light ly on the average banker than some of ,the bad loans which he makes in the course of a year." "It is asserted that the guarantee of deposits will make bankers reck less in leading their resources, and that the knowledge that depbsits are If the bank note circulation were no guaranteed will take away the motive larger than at present, or about $700-'from the public to select sound banks f money of his stockholders because hii deposits are guaranteed. There is nothng in the Fowler bll or any other bill that 1 know of, to make make good losses to stockholders of a failed bank. So far as the public is concerned, the average small de positor has practically no inside in formation as to the soundness of the banks under the existing system. The provision in the Fowler bill, that local committees shall be chosen by the banks themselves in various re demption districts and that these committees shall have the power of visitation and scrutiny over the as sets of the banks of the district, would alone probably save the. banks more than their contribution to the guar anty fund. It would stop bad bank ing in its inception. Such occur rences as were developed by the Walsh failures, wher loans were made on improper securities, would not even be attempted in many cases, because the banker 'would know that they would soon fall under the scru tiny and criticism of his fellow bank- hi One of the Important Duties bf Physicians and A is to learn as to the relative standing anc) reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and' perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that tle name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.

The steamer Aurelia arrived down from Portland on Sunday morning, bound for San Francisco, with a cargo of lumber, and while lying at the Callender dock received a shoulder-blow from the steamer St. Helens which had followed her down the river on the same voyage.

Shepherd, Candidate For Congress, in the City. Geo. S. Shepherd, the well known Portland attorney and candidate for Congressional honors from the Sec ond District of Oregon, was in the city yesterday on his last visit before the coming primaries and seems to be cheerful over his prospects. In conversation with an Astorian report er, later vesterday afternoon, Mr. Shepherd said, in part: "I am finding encouragement in my campaign far beyond my most san- euine expectations. In Eastern Ore gon I found the people were greatly interested in the improvement of the Columbia river bar and seemed to especially associate me with that work as I am making a campaign on this issue. I have received many letters from that section and they are very encouraging. The people of the west ern end of the district have not had Congressman for 24 years and as all appropriations originate in the Lower House they feel the necessity of hav ing a Congressman at this time. If we delay deepening the water on the har the North Bank Raifroad will build down the other side of the Co lumbia and ship their freight from Puget Sound.

MAGNUS O. HAMMER, EN ROUTE TO NORWAY, DIES AT DEPOT FROM HEMORRHAGE OF THE LUNGS. CHICAGO, April 13 (Special). Magnus 0. Hammer, of Astoria, Ore., died of hemorrhage of the lungs at the Northwestern depot In this city this afternoon. He and Mrs. .Eliza beth Scrly, with her five children, were en foutc to Norway. Mr. Hammer left this city on Fri day, the 3rd instant, for his home in Norway, and had been an invalid for some months; having recovered from a long siege of typhoid fever only to relapse into tuberculosis. He was in financial straits, when his countrymen in this city and section made up a purse to defray his expenses home, and availed themselves of the very kind offer of Mrs, Scrly, who was on the eve of her departure for Nor way to visit her home, to attend to the old gentleman during the jour ney. Just what steps will be taken in this sad emergency cannot be stated at this writing, but the b&dy will probably be taken oer by his countrymen there, and properly pro vided for.) Home From Europe Charles Jeffrey, a well known and popular young Astorian, has just re turned from a seven months- tour of Europe, and is glad to be back on home ground, despite the fact that every hour and mile of his outing was thoroughly enjoyable. He visited a number of the great capitals of Eu rope, including London, Antwerp and Paris, but did not get to go to the Mediterranean, which he regrets ex ceedingly. He left here last Septem ber and docs not regret an hour of the time devoted to travel. His friends were delighted to see him.

O'Brien, who has been ill at St. Vincent's hospital at Portland for the past two weeks, with ear trouble, returned from the metropolis on Sun day last to his Astoria home: he is still a bit weak and needs careful handling, but he is the "ring" alright, and will tackle his duties at the As toria Rox Company, at the first fav orable moment. His friends are glad to see him back again, and he rather reciprocates the sentiment. Articles Are Filed There was filed at the office of County Clerk Clinton yesterday, the articles of incorporation of the Teddy Safety Burner Company", a concern duly sponsored by Messrs. J. D. Straus, G. O. Moen, and Tina B. Kerr. The articles provide for the mnaufacture and sale of a new device in the way of lamp-burners; and the business is capitalized at $10,000, with that number of shares at a par value of $1. each. Its headquarters arc at Astoria. ALEX TAGG Peculliar Accident A swift-movintr delivery wagon swung out of Commercial street into Tenth, vesterday afternoon, with a long rope trailing over the tail-board of the wagon. The team was going a gait that put the rope in the air a foot ortwo, and as it passer a China man on the crossing caught him about the legs and swept his off his feet, dragging about fifty feet up Tenth, before he could disentangle himself. He was not injured when he arose from the street, but he was about as mad as men get and stay sane. Resolutions of Respect The following resolutions were adopted by the Astoria W. C. T.

Dead at Portland The news was feceied in this city yesterday of the deah at the metrop olis, on Friday last, of Frank Mackin, brother of H. J. Mackin, the well known sales agent of the Tongue Point Lumbering Company, at that city. The deceased gentlemen was buried on Sunday last. While He Is Gone During the absence, of Dr. Herman Barr, the dentist, he desires that such of his customers as must have imperative work done, shall call on (Dr. T. L. Ball, of this city, who will take perfect care of their interests. Off For Lake County j Dr. Barr's party left on last night's express for Portland and the Klam- jath country, with Harry E. Hoefler, as one of its latest recruits. They 'will be gone the better part of two weeks, and evidently haveN some fine land prospets out that way. Commission Meets Today The Oregon Pilot Commission meets in this city today in regular session for the month of April. Com missioner A. V. Pendleton came down from Portland yesterday and busied himself on the outfitting of the State bar schooner San Jose, which will soon be in readiness for any re lief duty that may fall her way. Looking up Local Material From unquestionable authority it is stated that the construction of the Wcinhard-Astoria Hotel, projected by the Weinhard estate, is to be start ed in good fashion this season. Those in charge of the splendid enterprise are looking into the prospect of ob taining the fine quality of brick and finishing materials needed in the big work, right here in Astoria, in view of the recent developments in the clays of Astoria; which will be an excellent thing for Astoria if the trustees can secure their half-million brick at the "right-hand" of the work itself, and speaks plainly of their real interest in the city and county. On a Business Trip Mr. Buettner, the well'known man ager of the Wienhard Brewery, at Portland, arrived in this city yester day on a flying business trip which comprehended SefMe as well as As toria, In the coifse of a brief con-, versation with the reporter of this paper, Mr. Buettner remarked that "hereafter the Columbia Bottling Co, of your city will do the bottling of the Weinhard beer for this market, exclusively, the brewery at Portland having ceased to ship its bottled pro duct to this city; thus giving your people the best of goods at first hand, besides giving Astoria a new and very practical industry of its own." Mr. Buettner went on to Seaside, and returned to the metropolis on the evening express. Old Pioneer Gone Dorlon Tryon, a pioneer of 1849. died at the residence of his niece, Mr, A. A. Cleveland on Sunday of dis eases incident to old age. Mr. Tryoa was in his 83rd year. He was a na tive of Vermont. About 1842 he moved with his parents to Iowa and seven years later crossed the plains with his father and three brothers, locating at Milwaukie. Mr. Tryon was in several Indian wars and has lived in Oregon and California, final ly purchasing a home at Seaside about four years ago. He left no family, his only kiiown relatives being his niece and a cousin in Lebanon. The funeral will be held' this morning and the xi mains taken to Portland for interment in Lone Fir Cemetery.

TUESDAY, APR J L 14K 1908, THE AC0UST1C0N CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS THE -.MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON, J '4 1 Trial Installation! Placed in the 1 House of Representatives EXTREMELY SENSITIVE PHONE Transmits to Listening Stations Every h.'nr SaM on the Floor of the House of Representatives From Whispered Plans to Heated Debate. WASHINGTON, April 13 -This week witnessed the trial installation in the House of Representaties of the long-promised and widely-heralded ajcousticon, and with its advent the representatives of the people are watching their p's and q's, fearful lest they talk too much! This is a strange charge to lay at the doors of Congrejs, for hitherto talk has been cheap in the big buildings on the Hill, as witness the massive volumes of the Congressional Record for the past two or three year sessions. The fear of the solons lies in the fact that the acousticon is an adap tation of the modern telephone, the receiving station of which, placed on the reading clerks desk just in front of the Speaker, transmits to listening stations in each of thte various com mittee rooms, the private offices of the different members, the White House and the nine executive depart ments, everything that is said on the floor of the House, from the whisp er d plans lor a filibuster, to the arg uments in a heated debate. Thej acousticon is no respecter of persons, and be it the newest member rehear sing his maiden speech under his breath, or the venerable Colonel "Pete" Hepburn livening things up in an oratorical way, the sounds are carried, perfectly audible and dis tinct, from the farthest corner of the big chamber to and through the ac ousticon, to be heard by scores of Congressmen in their private offices by the President and the members of his Cabinet, and by friends and foe alike. And now, after a couple of day's trial, most of the members are actually afraid to talk at all. ;The acousticon has told many sec rets since it was installed. On the first day Representative Clark of Flo rida, who resents the activities of the Attorney General's office in running down alleged peonage cases in his State, got the floor and preceeded to tell the House what he thought of the "high-handed methods of the De partment of Justice" He spared no one and used the plainest kind of lan guage, never dreaming that his every syllable was being heard by tthe very officials at the Department whom he was "roasting". Another Congressman, who, for tunately, happens to be a bachelor, was on the floor a little early and told a friend confidentially that he was oging to take a long auto ride in the afternoon with a very attractive young lady whom he had but recently met; and that he also was arranging for a box party in her honor. Later, when he learned that the "devilish little device" on the Speaker's dias had faithfully, or faithtlessly, carried everything he had said to fully half the membership of the House, includ ing a rival for first place in the good graces of the young lady in question, he was much embarrassed, to say the least. The acousticon is not without its possibilities, however. It is nothing more or less than an extremely sen sitive telephone transmitter, and many have been the suggestions con cerning it. One member, who said he had just read the last annual re port of the directors of the htJge Bell system and had learned that at the close of 1907 there were nearly 3,800 000 Bell stations in operation in the United States alone, advanced the novel idea of connecting the acousti con with the big Bell switchboard at the Capitol anl putting every one of those 3,800,000 subscribers in direct touch with legislative affairs at Washington. This, he. claimed, would in large part do away with the need for printing the Congressional Record and would serve to' bring Congress closer to the people, for, as he explained it, there is a Bell station for every 22 persons in the United States, and this number is dwindling every day. The report tof which this member referred, is a most remark able document, and has been care fully read by many Representatives and Senators. It sets forth that Xhi Bell companies have adopted the Roosevelt physical valuation test, and tnni,..j.,.Lt.. .i.... Youne women are often rreat sufferers for want of proper advice at just the right time. Airs, llnfcham, at Lynn. Mass-has always issued to young girls a spec ial invitation to write to her about their sickness. She is a mother, and fully understands. In nine chances out of ten your case will be just the same as those of the young ladies whose letters follow. LYD!AE.PIN!(HAr.VS VEGETABLE COMPOUND Is what you need to restore health. Miss Abby F. Barrows, of Nelson- ville, Ohio, writes to, Mrs. Pinkham "When I wrote, to you I was very nervous, had dull headaches, backache, and was very irregular. Doctors did me no good. Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound and your advice made me regular, well and strong. I am now in better health than ever before. Miss Elsie L. Hook, of Chelsea, Yt, writes to Mrs. Pinkham "I am only sixteen years old, but Lydia E. llokham's Vegetable Coin pound and your advice have cured me of sideaehe, periodic pains, and a ner vous irritable condition after every thing else had failed." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs,has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with iisplacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down fueling, flatulency, indiges tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration Why don't you try it? that they also are willing to accede to a sane popular demand for public control two noteworthy statements when it is remembered that they em anate from tthe largest public utility corporation in the world. It is to be noted that although many scouted this scheme, declaring that it would be necessay to perfect the wireless telephone before such a thing could be brought about, Wash ington only the other day was a con necting link in what is perhaps the longest telephone-call yet made suc cessfully. The newspapers this week chronicled this event, entailing a three-minute conservation between Cleveland, O., and Tampa, Fla. via Washington, something over fifteen hundred miles, whereas the record radius for a long distance talk has heretofore been about a thousand miles. With some such plan in operation, j a member's constituents, notified in advance that he ould make a speech on a certain day, could remain in their offices or their homes and hear every thing he might say, from the time he r e 1 rose to nis ieei ior recognition, w his graceful descent from a high flight of oratory 'mid prolonged ap plause from the galleries. However, with that phase of the proposition running smoothly, the order of things easily might be reversed, in which event the members would never have to leave their homes, but could go to i the telephone, get in touch with the Speaker by acousticon and arrange for the delivery of a speech or the in- j troduction of a bill or two, and then j go about their private affairs of life as unconcernedly as if they never had been on Uncle Sam's payroll at $7, 500 per annum, and mileage. DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS. Jesse P. Morris, of Skippers, Va., j had a close call in the spring of 1906. j He says: "An attack of pneumonia j left me so weak and with such a fear- i ful cough that my friends declared j consumption had me, and death was i on my heels. Then I was persuaded to try Dr. King's New Discovery, j It' helped me immediately, and after! taking two and a half bottles I was j a well man again.

"The mezzo soprano, Pauline Mil ler Chapman, ha many admirers wherever she has Appeared. During the last yar she ha won, laurels in Europe. She appeared before select and critical audience in both Italy and Germany. "The Americans in Berlin were proud of her success, as of all the thousands in that musical center she was one of the few to receive recog nition. "Criticisms favorable to Mrs. Chap man's concert work which were first published in the F.uropcan musio centers already have been reprinted in Oregon papers. But it is perhaps the personal things that Mrs. Chap man chcri-dics with the most pleas ure, the personal letters of praise from artists, testimonials. When she fin ished her aria with the Symphony Orchestra, the court director, Paul Prill, directing the orchestra, caught both her hands and said 'bravo, bravo, Wundcrschon Stimme,' while the orchestra, also, applauded her, and the day after her own concert, Madam Lampcrti embraced her and declared before all that she was "a second Sembrich only with a different kind of voice," and her husband, Professor Lampcrti, the great teacher of Sembrich, the world's" most finish ed singer, expressed to another prom 'inent vocal teacher in Berlin his be lief that there were not 10 better voices in the world than Mrs. Chap man's. -"Professor Brown of Berlin, form erly of New York, added his tribute in the artist's room, declaring that it, her concert, was one of the most uxorious things he ever heardand Madam Ccrstcr's prediction that Mrs. Chapman would become the first singer of America; that she had the voice, the temperament, the physique, everything in her favor. "A large laurel wreath reaching to her shoulder and daily bedecked with ribbons, presented by her admirers in Berlin, is highly treasured y Mrs. Chapman. However, Jier devotion to her home and her three children will always prevent Mrs. Chapman's leav ing them to accept the concert tour over Germany and the continent offered her. "Mrs. Chapman's last concert en gagement was at her former home city in Illinois, under the auspices of the Ladies' Musical Club of that city, where she was welcomed by the larg est audience in the history of the city. It was in this place that she made her first public appearance at three years of age, singing a solo in a church en tertainment at that time. She has been a singer practically all her life. "Mrs. Chapman has refused all in ducements to enter the grand opera work, although she was the only stu dent with Professor Lamperti not as piring to an operatic career. Her dramatic voice was found to be es pecially adapted to the operatic litera ture and she has covered the German. Italian, French and Russian, operatic soprano roles. She also has special ized in the Liedcr and song forms, V COOPER AROUSES INTEREST OF QUEEN CITY RESIDENTS An adequate idea of the hitensc in terest which has been aroused by young Mr. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared in the Cincinnati Tost while Cooper wa9 introducing his ideas to the pcopU of that city. The article says: "The beginning of Mr. Cooper's second week in Cincin nati gives every indication that he is to enjoy the same astonishing suc cess here as in other cities. "FronAhe first day of his visit the crowds that call to see him have steadily increased, until now it has reached a point' where several thou sand talk with him each day. The entire city seems to have become in terested in his theory that the human stomach is degenerate, and he already has an army of followers in Cincin nati who seem positive that his claims are correct. "A number of Cincinnatians were interviewed at Cooper's headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements, showing their intense faith in Cooper's' preparations, were secured. The following are selected from these statements and are charac teristic of them all: Mrs. M. E. Emer son of 630 West Court .street, said: I have suffered, with stomach; trouble and Constipation for a year, or so. When I ate I would have bloated spells, sour stomach, fermentation, bad taste in my mouth. In the morn ing I was as tired as when I went to bed. I had a dull pain in the lower part of my back. I have taken almost one bottle of the New Discovery and am so wonderfully improved that I have come down here to thank Mr. Cooper in person and obtain more of the medicine.' "Another individual interviewed was Mr. J. II. Brooks, living at S27 Walnut street, who had the following to say: 'For the past 18 months I Ijave been a constant sufferer from catarrh of the head and stomach. My nasal passage would become inflamed and sore. I would have severe head aches, which affected my eyes, and great crusts of matter would drop in to the throat, causing an irritation of the bronchial passage, until the stom ach finally became poisoned. When I would lay down at night a phlegm would gather in my throat until it almost choked me, and would cause an annoying cough. Half a bottle of Cooper's New Discovery gave me re lief and when the first bottle was finished, I felt like a new man. I am now completely cured and consider Cooper's New Discovery the greatest catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in the world."' The Cooper preparations have been wonderfully, successful throughout the United States. We consider them remarkable medicines and -would be pleased to explain the nature of them, More Than Million Women Take Up The Fight Aigrette! Still Torn From Bleeding Backs of Birds For Otheri. NEW YORK, April 13.-Less bird blood has been spilled to decorate the Easter bonnets of American wo men this year than ever in recent his tory, it was declared by experts in this city to-day. Based on careful examination of the millinery market) as well as reports from agents throughout the country,, this conclu sion was announced at the headquar ters of the National Association of Audubon Societies. With the help of the million women members of the National Federation -of Women's Clubs and other organizations, the Audobon workers promises to keep up their fight against this fashionable form of bird butchery till preparation for Easter Sunday no longer means a massacre of breeding birds. That the minority among the wo men of this country still demands the bloody scalpi of the mother heron for aigrettes is shown by the illicit and secret traffic in these plumes which officers of the Audubon assoc iation assert is today being con ducted by the plume hunters. Al though the Easter carnage among this sightly species has practically exterminated it in all of its old haunts in the United States, sections of South America are now being se cretly scoured, as well as southern F.uropc, Africa and Asia, for this nup tial plume of the breeding heron, ttalked in their repeated attempts to secure legislation in New York State to make prosecution of such traffic possible, the Audubon workers are to-day unable to effectively check the distribution from this city of aigret tes irrespective of where they come from, to the women who still wear them. Wherever the milliners still per sist in offering for sale such illicit goods, however, the Audubon as sociation is to-day taking active meas ures to stamp out the practice, which women's organizations in every town in the country are writing them they no longer countenance. Seven, mil linery establishments in Columbus and Cincinnati have just been con victed and heavily fined, it was re ported by the Audubon agents today for having aigrettes in their posses sion for sale. Until this traffic is fin ally stopped and the plumage of all wild birds from this or any other country is' no longer handled by the milliners, the Audubon workers de clare their campaign will be fought on along these lines. This movement they declare, is international, not sec tional or local. "It is gratifying to learn this year that American women are standing so solidly behind us in our long fight against this Easter massacre of the mother birds'.'; said William Dutcher, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies at its head quarters, 141 Broadway to-day. "I am hearing from women's organiza tions all over the country every day to this effect and I notice that Tur key feathers and other domestic bird ornaments are taking the place of the ravaged plumes of the butchered wild fowl. We shall not rest, however, till we can put a complete stop to the sale of wild birds' plumage by the milliners and to this end we call upon every good woman and mother in the land to help us. THE PLAIN TRUTH, What More Can Astoria People Ak? J When well known residents and highly-respected people of Astoria make such statements as the follow ing, it must carry conviction to every reader. j Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore), says: "For 10 years 1 suffered acutely from kidney trouble which gradually grew more severe until J became alarmed.' My back was so weak and painful and I suffered from, such severe dizzy spells that I could hardly get around. At last I was forced to take to my bed and rej mained there for a long time. My kidneys were irregular in action and the secretions so profuse as to cause me a great deal of suffering. At last I decided to try a good kidney rem edy and procured a box of Doan's Kidney" Pills at Charles Rogers Son's drug store. 'The results that followed their use were most satis factory. I continued using them and it was not long before I was com pletely cured. I have used thenvand it was not long before I was com pletely cured. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills on some occasions since, to keep my kidneys in good order and can conscientiously say I have not had any recurrence of the trouble since they cured me."

Government statistics show a de crease of 199.483 barrels in imports of Portland cement during the year end ing December 31, 1907, as compared with 1906, while the exports for the corresponding period show an in- cretase of, 317,231 barrels, says Ce ment Age. Thus the foreign trade records bear out the statement made a year or more ago that the increase in imports and decline in exports was merely a temporary condition grow ing out of the vast home consumption of cement It is likely that the future will witness a marked increase in ex ports of American Portland cement, and there is certainly no reason to anticipate that imports will increase. From every point of tthe globe where cemen is used American consuls write that vigorous and systematic efforts on the part of American manufactur ers Would do much to establish a lucrative trade and it is probable that in some places, at least, sales of American cement will be materially increased.

8 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOfllA, OREGON. TUESDAY,' APRIL 14, 1908, THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES EDWIN SHORT RECEIVES HIGH COMMENDATIONS FOR RUNNING MATCHES AND POLE VAULTING. The following account of the ex ctllent showing of the Astoria High School tract team in the contests 'at Portland last Saturday has been banded into this office: Saturday night the Astorian High School track team returned from Portland where they made an excel knt showing at the Columbia meet Edwin Short, the speedy Astoria sprinter, reeieved high commenda tion from the track critics for the excellent showing he made in the pole vault, 50 and 220 yard dashes. He was vaulting against such men as Moullen of Oregon, Swann of O. A C, and Kuykcndall of U. of 0.r and won fourth place, clearing 9 feet inches, with ease. He easily won his heat in the 50' yard dash and by an accident in the semi-finals was shut out in the finals. In the 220 yard dash, Short won second place, after winning first in his heat and in the semi-finals. Harbert, another A. H. S. boy, de lighted the purple and gold follow ers and surprised his opponents, by winning second place, in the high Jumps, easily defeatingTorest Smith son, the world's champion hurdler, and Moullen and Kuykendall of Uni rersity of Oregon. He cleared the bar at 5 feet 8 inches. Trainer Cathey of the Astoria High School, declares he has the ma terial to make a winning team, and proudly states that the Astoria school will be in the foremost list of win ners at the big inter-schoolastic meet at Corvallis next June. The boys certainly have done well nd deserve the support of all loyal j Astorians. and if the court had lot her tell her story with her history and most ev erybody else's the session would have lasted till it would have been time to turn on the electrics.

Seymour Short, rector, re:u! the touching" service of that church oer all that was mortal of the popu lar young Astorkw. At the close of the service, the solemn line of march was taken up that lead to the Callen- der dock where the steamer Jordan lay in readiness to transport the re mains to beautiful Greenwood; ad as the casket and its guard of loving friends were on board she steamed slowly into the bay and proceeded on her sad errand up the sun lit reaches of Young's River. Arrived at the cemetery the Foresters of America gave their fraternal attention to the sad engagement of the' hour and buried their friend with all the rites of the order. The floral tributes were very numerous and beautiful; and these, with the feeling offerings made by those privileged to voice the sympathy and love of the host in at tendance, lent ample proof of the abundant honor in which this young citizen was held in this his home city, DONE BY DEED U.

Hyomei Gives Relief in 10 Minutes- Cures Over Night Everybody knows, or ought to know, that Hyomei is recognized among scientists as the specific for Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever, but there are a great many peoplc-who do not know that Hyomei will cure a cough or a cold in less than 24 hours. But everyone should know that the soothing, balmy and antiseptic air of Hyomei when breathed over the raw and inflamed membrane of the nose and throat will instantly allay the in nammation, and will effect a prompt cure. Complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler, costs only $1.00( at T. F. Lauirn, extra bottles, if afterwards needed, will cost but 50 cents. I Joseph M. Harbaugh, Heldredge, Neb., writes: "I have used your Hyomei in my family for two years or more, and find it one of the best remedies we ever used for' a cold or sore throat. .We find that it gives quick relief in cases of catarrh." LAWSON, THE DREAMER. Jt was only ten days after telling the President how to cure all the evils of our economic life by a White Mouse proclamation, that Lawson publicly announced that he had quit reforming; and a few days later, when the publisher of "Frenzied Finance" cried out despairingly: "Lawson, this is an awful thing you have done, giv ing up the fight for the people," the Crusader's pent-up wrath burst forth: "The people! What do I owe to the gelatine spined shrimps? What have the saffron-blooded apes done for mc or mine? The people, particularly the American people, are a joke a System joke.". No, the American people are not a joke nor are they apes or shrimps; but they would be a joke they would be apes and shrimps if they became marionettes to dance to the sting-jerkings of a brilliant phrase maker whose livelihood is gained by Interest in community publicity reached a climax in Portland last week when the eighty prizes offered by the Portland Commercial Club for articles on the Pacific Northwest print ed in papers outside of Oregon and Washington, were awarded and the money distributed the same day. Tli-.' judges were Messrs. James F. Ewing, of Portland Academy, J. F. Tayler, news editor of the Oregon Journal, and W. J. Cuddy, editor of the Week ly Oregonian, and they have spent two and one-half months reading the more than one million words submit ted by various contestants. Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor of the Seventh Baptist Church, of Baltimore, Maryland, was winner of the grand prize of $1000. He was in Portland last summer for a short visit, Miss Mateel Howe, of Portland, was awarded the second prize of $5(X). Articles were in competition from every state in the Union, and almost 1 every state had its representative among the winners. Mr. Chas. S. Fee, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Harrison Lines, spent three full days in Portland last week in consultation with General Passenger Agent William McMurray and other officials, arranging the de tails of a 28-hour service be tween Portland and San Francisco. When Senator George C. Perkins of California, in a speech recently de- ivercd before the United States Sen ate, made the statement that Portland harbor afforded a dejith of between 19 ami 20 feet, the people of the grout Columbia River Basin and all those of the Pacific Northwest were aston ished. The most thorough compila tion of the shipping of W7 from this port shows numerous vessels with drafts ranging from 25 to 25,9 feet, and a very large number averaging in excess of 24 feet. The people of the Columbia River basin do not ap preciate the misrepresentation con stantly given the River, una have asked Senator Perkins to correct his erroneous statement in the Senate, but up to this time he has not done so. r Mayor Heitfeld, of Lewiston, came to Portland on the 10th at the head of a delegation of Lewiston-Clarks ton citizens, including official of tin commercial bodies, the managers of their numerous irrigation projects, railroad officials ami capitalists to personally invite representative citi zens of Portland to visit Lewiston Clarkston on May 1st. to celebrate the opening of the "Riparia Cut-off", which means a 10 hour schedule be tween those cities and Portland, a "Were it not for the fact that my avocation makes it necessary for me to reside in the national capital," said F.
