Charles Meadows, better known as
ARIZONA Charley" forwarded to
President Roosevelt the other night an
invitation to join his expedition to I'll
huron island, that mysterious land off
the coast of Mexico, in the Gulf of
Lower California, into the interior of
which it is said no white man has ever
penetrated, says a Los Angeles dis
patch. The invitation was inscribed
upon a small metal shield which was
riveted to the scalp of an Apache In
dian, Juan DaZen, a cattle raider,
whom Meadows had slain.

while Examining . Mine the Roof kaals
and n Export Il Held Prisensr for
Thirty HoarA

Cripple Greek, Col, Sept. 19.-Louih
Won Ruecau. a prominent German
mining expert, was imprisoned 80
hours in q Grouse mountain tunnel,
owing to q cave-in, but IL very little
the worse for the adventure. He
went out to examine the Pleasant
View mining property. Entrance to
the property Is gained through a
tunnel on the slope Of the hill. No
operations had been in progress there
for nearly two years and the tim
bers had become rotten.
Won Ruecau had not gone more
than 30 feet when the roof OF the
tunnel fell. A companion who had
remained outside heard the fall OF
the timbers and summoned aid.
While the relief force was removing
the earth and wood that filed the
bore Won Ruecau was busy digging
at the other end Of the obstruction.
He was faint and nervous when res
cued, but otherwise unframed.

Head Consul Northcott Declares Preseh'
Rates Of the Modern Woodmen Of
America Are Inadequate,

Jefferson City, Mo-. Sept. 19.-The
readiustment of rates was again the
leading theme in the state school
of instruction for district deputies
of the Modern Woodmen Of America.
Head Consul Nouthcott said there
was intelligence enough in the order
to find that mistake had been
made in the present rate plan, and
that not only that, but there would
be courage enough to apply a
remedy. The matter is attracting
wide interest among the 100000
Woodmen, and each camp in the Ju-
risdiction of the order is to be per-
mitted to vote upon the question.
AT the next meeting OF the head
camp, which is to be held in 1ndianap,
oils, Ind, it will come up for final

THE ROCK ISLANDS ACTION.
Attorney General Mullan, Of Nebraska
Holds That the Reorganization Is Lee
gal-GOv. Cummins' Statement.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 1S.-Attorney
General Mullan, in an opinion filed
with Gov. Cummins yesterday, holds
that the acts of the new Iowa cor
poration, the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railroad company, in con-
nection with the Rock Island reor-
ganization, are not outside the pow
ers conferred by statute nor con-
trary to public policy in the legal
sense of the term. Gov. Cummins in
making public the opinion concurs in
it from legal view point, but adds,
referring to the reorganization:
"The thing done is neither a
merger nor consolidation. Not a
mile of track nor a dollar in value
is added to the Rock Island property.
It is simply new device for water
ing securities. 1t is for the next gen.
eral assembly to say whether 1T is
wise to permit our laws to so remain
that such things are possible"
1.-THE most serious problem" says
the attorney general in his opinion,
"is whether the state may interfere
to prevent the issuance Of the stocks
and bonds of the Iowa and New Jer-
sey companies for the reason that
the aggregate amount thereof pro-
posed to be issued exceeds the mar
ket value Of the stock Of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company which the Iowa company
receives therefor; or whether 1t may
by quo warranto have a forfeiture Of
the charter Of the Iowa company
declared on the ground that such an
act is ltra-vires and against public
policy"

ON FIGHTING FIRE.
Many Addresses Made to the Fire
Chiefs Assembled 1t New York.
HOUSES ERECTED IN FLINSY HAMMER


New YORK, sept. l9.-Edwaru Az
kinson, Of Boston, addressed the con-
yention OF fire chiefs yesterday and
gave a technical description Of the
efforts made in Massachusetts, in the
last 40 years to minimize the risk
from fires in factories and CONNER
cial buildings. Capt. William Brop-
py, Of Boston, and Il. W. McAdams,
chief instructor of the New York
fire department. also made actresses.
The night session was devoted al
most entirely to discussion OF a
paper by Chief George W. Horton, OF
baltimore, Md, on "The Fire De-
partment of the Future In Our Large
Cities" and to addresses by the six
foreign visitors. The addresses OF
the visitors were easily the feature
Of the evening. The discussion
turned on the proper manner OF
fighting fire in high buildings and
the means to prevent fire in them.
Chief Musham, Of Chicago, had pre-
yiously said that the world is Is
years behind in fighting fire and had
advocated many changes, including
high pressure Of water, large mains.
the proper piping Of buildings with
stand and lateral pipes, etc. inspect
or McDevitt, Of the Fire Underwrit-
ers' Association Of the United
States, had agreed with Chicago's
chief as had others, including ex-
Capt. Brophy, Of Boston. 1t was after
this that President Humphreys had
called on Chief 7. P. Purcell, of Dub
lin, Ireland, to say a few words. The
chief started in to score the way
buildings were put up in this coun-
try. "First Of al, you get them up
in hurry" he said, then you set
to work to make money; then you
burned your buildings and after
wards built them up little better"
He insisted that the buildings OF to-
day are erected in too fimsy q man
ner, "and I'm sorry to say that the
builders in the old country are fol-
lowing your example," he added.
Chief Purcell said he was not in
favor Of standpipes in buildings, tor
the reason that If any portion Of the
building fell down then the water
supply was seriously interfered
with. Similarly he did not think much
of training employees to fight fire in
large business houses. In his opin-
ion It interfered with the work OF
the regular fire fighters.
Chief F. Ely, Of Leicester, scored
the building laws which permitted
the erecting of buildings which were
little more than shells.
Chiefs William Harrison, OF Old
ham, Lancashire, and Chief E. Geall,
of Bury, Lancashire, also addressed
the convention, the former evoking
cheers when he said that on his re-
turn to England he intended to
Americanize his fire department.
Chief David w. Stein, of Melbourne,
Australia, who is making tour OF
the world at the expense OF the
municipality of Melbourne tod
something of the places he had WIS.,
tied and said he had never seen any
where such splendid fire depart
ment as New York had. He also
blamed the loss of life and property
in a great many instances to defect
i've buildings.
