WENT UP IN SMOKE
The Howard Investigation Meets With
Collapse
Concludes to Go Out Of Bu.iness-The
Council to Be Notified

The Howard investigating committee
has gone up in smoke. just as everybody
who has. been following the details of the
inquiry could have predicted at the start
would be the case. The jnvesti-
eating committee met promptly at
o'clock yesterday morning for the pur-
pose CT resuming the inquisition at the
point where it had been discontinued the
day before.9 OF the twelve witnesses who
had Lbeen subpoenaed to be present and
give testimony, not one was on hand.
The members of the committe waited for
some time for somebody or something to
turn UP. but the evidence that they longed
for never came. The committee then
held a short session with ITSELF when,
after due deliberation. it was decided to
go out cf business. The receiver who
will wind up the affairs Of the committee
will be the council as whole. The re-
suits consist of some 5000 words OF type
written matter, which, while labeled evil
dence, is.not evidencelat all. 1t is moth
ing.
when yesterday asked what would be tie
next step in the matter, said: ''We are
going to report to. e.coupcil just exactly
what we have found. The investigate OH
has been farce and could continue Just
as long as we might choose to prolong the
inquiry. We sent altogether for sixteen
witnesses, and just eight responded.
What the outcome will be l don't know.
but my opinion is that the matter will
not be dropped
1t is stated that the grand jury is to
further inquire as soon as possible into
the rumors afoat affecting the present
superintendent of the street departm ent.

A BAND OF INCENDIARIES
They Appear to Be Operating in This
City
Three Fires In the Dlsreputable Quarter OF
the City During the Past Honth, All
Having Suspicious Look

Jack the Firebug is at large and he ap-
pears to be confining his operations prin-
cIpally to that portion OF the city which
is the busiest between the hours of 10 p.
m. and 4 a. m. Three fires within the
past month have occurred in the tender
loin district. The first one was on June
%, the second on July and the third at
tempt was made yesterday. All three
fires, Chief Walter S. Moore is certain,
possess the earmarks OF being the work OF
one and the same person. All of them
have beep discovered IN the morning
hours.
The alarm for the one on June % was
turned in about a. M, the premises be-
ing disreputable two-story house on AL
ameda street, near Turner. On June 5. at
O'Clock in the morning an alarm was
turned in from box Al. the premises
ablaze being the house at 12 North Ala
been OF incendiary origin. Coal oil was
used and the premises had been fred in
four distinct places. Neither of the pla-
ces above was occupied at the time of
the fi.e and had not been for some time
previous.
Yesterday morning shortly after 9
O'Clock, an alarm was turned in from box
ga. The building ablaze was the house
at 1927 Also street, which was, like the
other two mentioned, unoccupied and had
been disreputaDle resort. The
wall and one of the rooms were found
afire when the engines arrived on the
| scene.
In each of the fires mentioned the blaze
has originated in one of the closets, and
kerosene was used by the incendiary.
bThe police are Investigating the matter.
1t is thought possible that opium or NOR
phine fiends may be responsible for the
fires. in which event they may be the
result Of accident, the victims having
used the premises surreptitiously che
night before for sleeping purposes.
The house belonging to d. M. McGara
at Ninth and Sixteenth streets. which
was discovered to be ablaze on July 2 is
also believed to have been fired by incen-
diaries.

Deputy Constable Bosqui also arrested

This was false. however. as it has since
been asoertained that his true name is
Frank Ware. He has had rather an un-
savory reputation for some time past.
Mr.. Bosqui allowed him to 60 upon his
own recognizance to try and procure
bail. but the fellow evidently skipped out

THE ANTlTOxlNE DISCUSSION,
Professor Drasche's Criticism Unfavorabl,
to the New Diphtheria Remedy.

Professor Drasche's Criticism Unfavorable
to the New Diphtheria Remedy.
The physicians Of two or three Euro
pean capitals are beginning to find seri-
Gus drawbacks to the use of the new
remedy for ,ljphtheria. The subject was
carefully discussed at the Medical soci-
ETY. in Vienna this week. Professor
Drasche's criticism was untavorable to
the new method, owing to the effects
which he had observed in 80 cases. He
found that injections of Behring's anti
toxine serum affected the kidneys seri-
ously. This observation was corroborated
by other doctors They said that in the
presence of this fact it could no longer
be believed that the injection had no in
furious effects 1t could not be matter
of indifference that a patient who was
recovering from dangerous illness
should he subjected, through this rem
edy, to further serious malady
Up to the present time, for observa-
tions have been much too short to per-
NIT final decision as to the value of
the treatment, it is clear that it's appli-
cation should be limited With regard
to the statistics which were supposed to
prove its success Professor Drasche said
that in diphtheria, bare figures were no
evidence. London Letter

Novel Method of News Distribution Fol-
lowed In Paris
L'Agence Havas, the great distributor
Of news at Paris, has introduced recent
ly a system Of telegraphic typewriters
which for rapid spreading Of Informal
ton excels anything known. The ma
chine was invented as we'll as perfected
by an American, Mr. Wright, and, aft
or some adaptation necessary for the Pc
culiar purpose it had to servo, presents
now the perfection Of an apparatus for
the news bureau. A typewriter in the
central station works the machine, and
all the subscribers receive the identical
information in less than one third the
time required by ordinary Geographic
transmission. Absolute accuracy is
guaranteed, the operator sees what he is
writing, and mutilation or dropping of
words is impossible
The system of news distribution is
very complicated, but great pains have
been taken to secure it against any like.
~ interruption Of the service All the
wiring is through underground cables,
one cable being allowed for group OF
Is subscribers, but there are 20 wires
in each cable, allowing a reserve of five
wires for each circuit. The machine is
quite different from the old American
tickers, in that the paper used is not a
strip three-q uarters Of an inch wide but
roll Of paper % inches in width. The
principle is that of a typewriter. each
key of which is connected with special
communication, allowing an electric cur
rent to pass through the line, upon
which are disposed given humber OF
receivers with typewriting attachments,
but without any clockwork. A type
reel guided by the current from the cen.
trail station prints upon roll of paper
as in typewriter. The conmuta5o.
mentioned above is set going by small
electric motor receiving its energy from
battery of GO Tudor accumulators -
