FALLING SCAFFOLD
Three Men Injured in Big Crude Oil
Tank

Quite a serious accident occurred yester-
day morning at o'clock in the Southern
Pacific yards at Buena Vista street, where
a large oil storage tank is being erected by
the Lacy Manufacturing company Twen-
ty men were employed in the construction of
the tank, ard what was thought to be
secure scaffolding had been built on the
inside near the roof and about twenty-s!x
feet from the bottom.
It was this scaffoldng that gave way,
and in its falling Royce Casteel, Frank
Campbell and Wallace Maxey three old
employees of the Lacy company, were pre-
ciptated to the bottom of the tank.
Just what caused the accident is not quite
understood. The three men were at work,
when the supports gave way, and all that
saved them from being killed was the fact
that none Of the tools or timbers struck
them. AS It was, Maxey, VINO is son of
Police Matron Gray, badly lacerated the
flesh and ligaments of his ankles, and will
probably be crippled for several weeks;
Casteel broke several ribs, and Campbell
has a badly bruised chest and got a severe
shaking up.
The police ambulances were Immediately
sent for and the injured men were hur-
rieu 10 the receiving Hospltal, Wnere tney
received medical attendance, after which
they were sent to their homes.
The Lacy company furnished physician,
and stated that everything should be done
to make the men comfortable and that their
salaries would continue during their illness.
The tank on which the men were working
is one of the largest in the state, having
a capacity of 5000 barrels and being thirty

The services of the regiment have been
offered to the government and the presi-
dent.
The regiment then passed the following
resolutions, the substance of which was
telegraphed to Senators Perkins and
White. They read as follows:
"At meeting OF the company and regi-
mental officers of the Eighth regiment of
California volunteer infantry, held at the
regimental headquarters, rooms AZ, 4S and
49, Phillips block, city of Los Angeles, II
was unanimously resolved as follows:
whereas, Harrison Gray Otis Of Los
Angeles has been nominated by the presi
dent as brigadier general of United States
volunteers; and,
"Whereas, 1t Is reported through the
public press that the confirmation of Ger.
Otis Is being opposed in the senate of the
United States, as we understand, because
Of his advocacy of certain public improve
ments in Southern California, and that
said opposition is not based upon the
question of his fitness for the position;
now therefore, be 1t,
Resolved. That we recognize in the
appointment of Harrison Gray Otis by
the president as a brigadier general of
volunteers an appointment in every way
fit and just and one that should be speedily
confirmed. We know that Gen. Otis is in
every way fitted by nature, experience and
by an exalted patriotism to fill the place
with honor to himself. to this state and
nation. And be it further
Resolved, That Senators White and
Perkins be and they are hereby requested
to use their utmost endeavor to have the
said appointment confirmed without delay
SO that Gen. Otis may be assigned to active
duty"

PHASES OF CAMP LIFE
The Seventh Regiment at Camp Mer-
ritt-Evans' Beans

The Seventh California regiment had
quite an interesting time yesterday. 1t
put in four and one-half hours in drilling
and marched at least fifteen miles. But
this is not the story, and it may as well
be told without further delay
Company d. with the rest of the COM
panies, was charging up a Preside hill at
double quick in an earnest effort to cap
Corporal L. w. Heath stepped into hole
The result was embarrassing. Corporal
Heath fell into the hole head first and his
protruding legs would have made excel
lent nagstaffs. Private Smith (for in
stance) did not have time to go around
him and so fell over him. Immediately
thereafter Private Brown fell over Private
Smith; then Private Robinson landed on
the other side of Private Brown; Private
Jones took a header over Private Robin
son, and so the trouble continued until the
combined efforts of the captain and two
lieutenants were required to evolve order
from chaos and extricate Corporal Heath
and his still waving legs.
But this was not all. Scarcely was Cor
poral Heath in marching order before
Private E. X. Keller struck another hole
Private c. M. Peters fell over him and
practically the same thing was repeated.
If the story has moral 1t is that the holes
in the Preside should be filled or the
double-quiek should be barred from the
exercises.

RESTAURANT SCORCHED
Fire From a Defective Flue Does Con
siderable Damage

A fire alarm at IL o'clock last night called
the department to the Grand Pacific rest
aurant on South Main street. 1t was found
that the entire rear end of the room. used
for the kitchen, was on fire, and an ugly
blaze would have resulted but for the
prompt and effective work of the ''laddies." +"
AS it was, the damage was confined almost
solely to the interior of the room and a
slight portion of the roof. the building be-
ing only one-story structure, known as
the Florence hotel block, owned by j. G.
Thorn.
The restaurant itself. occupying Nos. 312
and 314 South Main street seems to have a
hoodoo after it, judging from the vacilat-
ing ownership with which it has been bur-
dened during the last few months.
During the winter months it belonged to
Messrs. Davis, Bentley & Co., three young
men, who did thriving business and, ac-
cording to report, made it pay, until one of
the firms members took the klondike
fever and anXoiusly sought buyer for
his interest in the place. He finally sold
10 the other partners, and they soon sold
to j. X. Millar, the proprietor of the Ar
cade depot restaurant. Mr. Millar very
materially changed the plan of conduct
ing the business and lost much custom by it.
He soon sought buyer and found him IN
the person of c. e. Kussman, the presen,
proprietor, who also owns the La Veta
restaurant on South Broadway.
Mr.. Kussman hadjust made various i'm
provements in the place and estimates that
the loss will be between $1,000 and $4,000,
fully covered by insurance.
Charles Baker the head cook states
that he left the restaurant at $50 o'clock,
and that all was well at that time. A by
stander who saw the fire very early in its
career states that the flames were coming
out of the f1ues in the rear of the building
This suggests the theory that the fire
originated in a defective flue.

Many Amendments

WASHINGTON, June 4.-After the trans
action of brief routine business the Senate
resumed consideration of the War Revenue
measure. AS no amendment was pending.
Mr.. Allison suggested tho bill be reported
from the committee of the whole to the
Senate.
The suggestion developed several amend
ments and also the absence of a quorum
Mr.. Mason, who said he had an important
amendment, demanded a call of the Sen
ate.
After a delay Of fifteen minutes, a
quorum was secured.
Mr.. Morgan Dem) of labama, then Of
fered the amendment of which he gave not
ice yesterday, requiring the Secretary Of
the Treasury to proceed with the colec-
tion of the taxes under the provisions of
the Income tax law of 1894. not directly re =
pealed by the Dingley bill. If the Secretary
of the Treasury should refuse to levy the
taxes under the law, the amendment pro-
vides that it shall be the duty of the At
torney-General to proceed against the Sec
retary of the Treasury to compel him to
perform the duties. and if the Attorney
General should refuse to take that action.
any taxpayer of the United States may
bring the necessary steps to compel the
enforcement of the law.
Mr. Morgan saio that full opportunity
was presented by his amendment to have
the question which it involves settled by
the supreme Court, for quite naturally, af-
flrmative action taken by Congress on the
subject would relegate the entire subject
to the department court
Congress could scarcely refuse. Mr.. Nor
gan thought, TO provide for another test
OF the income-tax question. in view of the
fact that 1t was forced to increase taxation
and time-borrowed money in order to pros
ecutc the present war.

Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The war reve-
nue. measure was passed by. the senate this
evening at 7:05 o clock. The bill was under
consideration eight hours today. A score
or more attempts were made to amend it,
but only in two or three instances were the
attempts successful. A particular effort
was made to amend the bond provision OF
the measure, but 1t was futile in every
instance. The most notable amendment
made to the measure today was that offered
by Tillman of South Carolina, placing a
duty of 10 cents per pound on all tea i'm
ported into the United States. The amend
ment created no debate, and was adopted
by vote of 3S to 80. 1t Is calculated by
the senate experts that the duty. If it be
finally enacted into law, will raise at least
900 a year and probably more An
amendment offered by Chiffon, Democrat.
of Texas, a member of the finance commit
tee, provides for a tax graduated accord
ing to price upon all articles sold under
patent right, trade mark or name not
open to general use and which are not
otherwise taxed by the bill. Through an
amendment offered by Lindsay. Democrat,
of Kentucky the senate decided not to
place stamp tax upon bundles of newspa-
pers wholly or partially printed which
weigh less than 100 pounds.
A tax Of cents barrel was placed on
adulterated flour, and stamp tax Of cent.
on every ticket emitting the holder to a
