Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 20-Three men
were killed and twelve injured by a ter

Thirtieth street to-day and another man
is missing. The dead are:

of the plant, states that the boilers were

be given for the explosion, but an inves-
tigation is now in progress.
1t was about Ais o'clock, as the night
crew was about to turn over the mill to
the day force, that four boilers in the
ten-inch bar mill No. 8 exploded with
terrific force. The mill was wrecked and
the debris is piled from fifty to seventy
five feet high The boiler works Of
James Mcneil, adjoining the Black Dia-
mond MILL were also destroyed.
From what can be learned the four
boilers exploded at one time, reducing the
mill to a heap of charred timbers and
twisted iron. There is not a straight
piece of iron or steel left in the entire
building. Even the bolts in the beams
and stringers are twisted like screw nails
One Of the boilers went through the
roof of the bar mill, scared through the
air across Thirtieth street and crashed
into the residence of Robert Price at 8
Tnirtieth street, completely Wrecking the
house. Price and his family rushed to
the street in their night clothes.

MARCON| SEEKS
NEW STATIONS
Wireless Telegraphy In
ventor Planning Ex-
periments.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. JOHNS. N. F.. Dec. 20-Marconi
wired yesterday to Professor Alexander
Graham Bell accepting Professionally the
offer Of his Cape Breton estate as a site
for further wireless experiments.
Marcont announced tonight that ac-
cording to his present plans he will sail
for England next Monday on the steamer
Sandman. His company in London wants
him to assist in the negotiations with the
Anglo-American Telegraph Company. The
inventor has packed his wireless appar-
atus and will take with him the portion
which cannot be used here. The remain
der he will leave here in readiness for his
return in a month or two.
The inventor spent this afternoon in
looking for sites suitable for the establish
ment Of stations. The situation at Cape
Spear is the best he has yet seen. He will
abandon the station on Signal Hill, it be-
ing too high to give good results. Mar
conf said that he would select a site on
the French shore, but he is unwilling to
lrritate the imperial Government. He has
expressed his readiness to install his wire
less system between ST. Pierre and France
If the French Government desires it in the
way of a commercial enterprise.
To-day Marconi denied the statement
published in the press of st. Johns and
wired from the United States to the ef-
feet that Miss Holman, his fiancee, had
received a cablegram from him urging a
speedy marriage. Marconi will go to New
York to be married in January.

GREAT COPPER
BEDS IN SIGHT
Peruvian Outlook May
Explain Markets De-
mOralizatiOn.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 20-Mr. Riblet
mining engineer tand constructor of aerial
tramways, who has returned from the
Sierra del Pasco mines, in Peru, brings
a story which may account for the de-
moralization of the copper market. He
says that in twelve months the Sierra del
Pasco mines of Peru, owned by the
Rothschilds and other English capitalists,
will be able to add thousands of tons of
copper per annum to the worlds produc-
ton. The supply of ore is ineXhaustible.
The company expects to be able to land
copper at Valparaiso within twelve
months at cents a pound, and as copper
the supply from the Peruvian mines will
make their output no inconsiderabe fac
tor in the market.
Riblet went to Peru five months ago,
and at the Sierra del Pasco mines, 180
miles inward from Chimboto he built a
tramway and a railroad 120 miles in
length to Ciudad. Formerly $1,000 llamas
to Ciudad for shipment on the railroad
the pack trains travelling over arduous
trails.
Riblet says the Sierra del Pasco mines,
which have been worked as a silver prop
osition for more than 400 years, contain
the largest body of high grade copper ore
in the world. The Spanish owners pre-
viously working the property were unable
to treat the copper and left 1t untouched
AS consequence the company will have
at least five years ore supply ready for
reduction. The Sierra del Pasco mines
are 5000 feet above the sea and are To-
Gated on an immense ledge, which runs
through them for more than 1000 feet.

FACULTY EXPELS
TEAM MANAGER.
Sequel to Troubles Of a
College Football
Eleven.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Dec 20.-Frank E. Bright
man, late football manager at the State
University was this afternoon expelled
from college 1t was known some time
ago by those students who keep in close
touch with the professors that such action
would be taken, but to the greater part
Of the student body his expulsion came as
q surprise.
In his intense desire to make a success
of athletics, Brightman it is said, neglect
ed his studies. During the summer and
fall just past Brightman made every effort
to turn out a successful football team. 1t
was through his efforts that Wright was
brought from New York to manage the
team. He was lavish in his furnishings
Of the team. Believing that the college
would support him. he entered into pol
icy of importing star players to help the
eleven.
less, the team went $2600 into debt and the
students turned upon Brightman, as he
was the only one on whom they could
vent their disappointment. He was first
suspended as manager Of athletics by the
executive committee of the students and
charges of incompetency and q desire
to professionaliZe the team were made
Finally the faculty used It's authority to
expell him from the university.
Thus deprived of all privileges at the
State University Brightman will be given
no credit for the work already done and
probably will be denied admission to other
colleges. The action of the faculty was
taken in the face of the fact that many
of the students believe that the unfortu-
nate young man had been acting for what
he thought was the best interests of the
college. 1t is also claimed that the fac
ulty turned on Brightman after the foot
ball disaster, but not before.

Argentina and Chile is pending. Minister
Merou, representing Argentina, is conf

Well informed diplomats are, however,

The Nacion, referring to the interna-

said to be considering the same subject.
In this connection II is reported that
Brazil contemplates appropriaIing G5,0O0,-

Brazil which up to the present has sue

of q few weeks ago Of an invasion OF the

The local happenings which nave gwen

Runaway Marriage Idea Contagious
in the Family of William
RAauis

TACOMA. Dec. 2O.-The eloping spirit
seems to run in the family of William

He has two pretty daughters-Cora aged
10, and Alta, aged 16 years Several weeks

her as a quiet school girl by eloping 20
Seattle with her second cousin, Clifford
Reavis. They were married, returned
home and received parental forgiveness.
Cora was married last Monday against
her fathers wishes. She had accom-

went to attend a celebration of the Wood
men of the World. While he was attend
ing the sessions of that order Cora slipped
away and married John Wiley, aged Il,
who had come on the same train from
Prescott. Fearing that the young couple
might try to get married, papa Reavis had
telephoned to several Walla Walla clergy
men not to perform the ceremony. Wiley
nevertheless succeeded in getting a =
cense and married Cora late in the after
noon in the parsonage of the Cumberland

FLAMES ENDS

California Girl Is Burned
to Death at Bryn
MaWr.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2O.-Miss Lillian
Vickers of Los Angeles, Cal, whose faith
er is wealthy and the owner Of a large
cattle ranch, met a terrible death at Bryn
Mawr College, where she had been a stu
dent for three years. Her clothing caught
fire in the morning in her room after she
awOke and she died four hours after her
suffering began.
Just how the accident occurred no one
can tell, and the young woman was con-
Scious so short a time that she could give
no explanation. 1t was $50 o'clock and
some girl students were in their apart
ments dressing, when one or two neigh
bors of Miss Vickers in the dormitory
heard a groan and a half smothered cry
for help from the bathroom opposite the
young Californian's room. Hurrying there,
they opened the door and then sprang
back with screams as Miss Vickers, her
nightdress ablaZe, staggered forward and
fell to the floor unconscious.
For a moment the young women hesi-
tated, but then called for the college fire
brigade and began to beat into the flames
that enVeloped the body of their friend
They wrapped a rug around the suffer-
ing woman and covered her with what
ever articles of woolen clothing they could
find.
The flames were soon extinguished and
the sufferer was carried to her room,
where despite the efforts of physicians
she soon died. The young woman was
conscious but a brief interval after the
accident. Then she asked: Was any one
else DuTn6Q! was ln6 cOll6S6 harmed!
One theory as to the cause Of the acct
dent is that upon entering the bathroom
and finding it dark, Miss Vickers lighted
the gas, and as she did so the sleeve of
her nightdress touched the jet. Another
suggestion is that she struck a match and
part Of the burning head fell upon her
nightdress.
The young woman spent yesterday with
her aunt, Mrs. Sarah L. Oberholzer of
1906 Tfoga street, buying Christmas pres
ents in. Philadelphia and was in the best
Of spirits when she returned to the COL
lege at night. She was % years old and
would have graduated in 1903. Her father,
John Vickers, is the owner of Vickers ISL

PERRY WEST IN JAIL
ON BIGAMY CHARGE
Emulates His Father, Who in His
Time Has Led Ten Women to
the Marriage Altar.

TACOMA, Dec. 20-With one wife di-
vorced, another managing a restaurant in
Ellensburg and a third suing him for
bigamy, Perry West is in serious trouble.
While facing the charge against him he
remains in jail in Walla Walla. Deputy
Sheriff Painter arrested him in Ellens-
burg yesterday. The complaint is made
by Alice, wife No. 2, who married West
in Sheridan. Wyo, five years ago. Before
that time West had married and been di-
vorced. Wife No. 8 was Umatilla
County miss, Jenny Kelly by name.
Perry West is a son of Peter West, a
Justice of the Peace of Umatilla County,
residing in PendletOn. He has some of
his fathers characteristics. Peter West
married ten times and the stories of some
of his courtships made interesting read
ing in times past, while his history has
been given to the public in joblots for a
score or more of years. Peter West
never got into court, as his son has done,
although some of his escapades were in
teresting and exciting. Now an old man,
he has evidently retired in favor of his
son Perry, who is rounding out the
record.
West will be tried before Justice Glass
ford. The second Mrs. West has arrived
in Walla Walla to prosecute the case.

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF.
They Are Each Caused by Pestifer-

Ring worm and dandruff are somewhat

parasite. The germ that causes dan
druff digs to the root of the hair. and
saps it's vitality, causing falling hair. and,
finally, badness. Without dandruff there
would never be badness, and to cure dan
druff it is necessary to kill the germ.
There has been no hair preparation that
would do this until the discovery of New
