Disaster at Heppner, Ore. Is
Even Worse Than at First
Reported.
HERO OF THE DISASTER
Toung Man Saves People Of Lexington
by Riding Down the Canon Ahead
of the Flood and Spread
ing the Alarm.

lone, oregon, Jne lS.TReueI dHu
wrecking trains have been dispatched
rom different places for Heppner, the
scene of Sundays terrible disaster. 1t
is expected that communication will
be restored today.
A low estimate places the dead at
Heppner at 800. The property loss will
reach 100000.
No systematic effort has yet been
made to find the dead, who undoubtedly
are strewn along the canyon.
Every available man from a radius OF
sixty-five miles has been pressed into
the service at Heppner. Gangs Of men
are at work clearing away piles of
debris, rocks and tin1bers, which lie in
heaps in the streets, and taking out
corpses which are thus concealed.
One Hundred Buried.
About 100 persons have been buried
In the Heppner graveyard. Owing to
the entire absence of proper facilities
for caring for the dead, the victims of
the flood were for the most part in
tered in common crates.
David McAtee, a business man of
Heppner, an eye witness of the dis
night on horseback.
"On Sunday afternoon" said Mr..
McAtee, .there had been pretty Sc

much wind and lightning. I was

noticed remarkable denseness which

moment, when a roar caused me to
Hook again at the hill. I saw
q wall of water, whose height would

| timbers on it's crest, tearing the very
rocks from their foundations. The ter
rife storm struck the upper part OF
the town first, sweeping residence after
residence from their foundations and

that hotel were blown out into the
streets, overturned and wrecked.
Hotel Destroyed.
Perhaps the greatest loss of life oc-
Cured at the Heppner hotel. This
house, which was run under the man.
! agement Of Jones & Ashbaugh, was
carried away. 1t is supposed there
were about fifty guests in the hotel, all
of whom are reported lost.
"The entire residence portion of
Heppner was destroyed, but the bust
ness houses, being on higher ground
and generally built Of brick and stone,
were not SO badly damaged. The
school house and court house stand on
the side hill and were saved, but the

Hard Goa, Miners and Operates Reach
an Agreement.s

Scranton, Pa. June 1s.-President
Mitchelrs advice has prevailed and
all talk Of strike has been silenced.
The convention of anthracite mine
workers today adopted resolutions
providing that each district should vote
separately on the election OF representa-
ttves on the conctliation board. The
resolutions were adopted without a
dissenting vote. Following this the
delegates in the different districts votsd
separately after which the convention
by rising vote ratified the action. An
other resolution was adopted provid-
ing that all grievances instead of be-
ing thrashed out in debate should be
given to the conciliation board for con-
sideration.
The resolutions indorsed District
Presidents Nichols. Fahey and Det-
trey as the miners representatives on
the board Of conciliation. There is no
doubt the operators will accept. Presi-
dent Mitchell told the convention there
was no advance in wages yet due the
miners The average price of coal has
not been higher than $452, but by the
end Of June the price will reach $4.62,
which will entitle the miners to 2 per

Purpose

Indianapolis, June is:-Dasid NJ.
Parry, president Of the National Manu-

Organized labor will never know

whether it is really fighting combined

ROOT REsclNDs ORDER.
Opium Monopoly in the Philippines
Proves Unpopular.

special to the Chicago Chronicle SAYS
Secretary Root has rescinded the or
der granting a monopoly in the opium
trade to the highest bidder. BY Sec
.retary Roots order no further steps
will be taken in the matter until it
shall have been carefully investigated
by the authorities in Washington.
There has been remarkable out
burst Of opposition to the proposal Of
the Taft government that the control
Of the opium trade be syndicated. 1t
has been alleged that in this way alone
could the restrictions Of the traffic,
which are imposed by the colonial laws.
be enforced, Opium in the islands is
not no allowed to be sold to any except
chinese, in quantities sufficient to
make it dangerous. The department
received a great mass of protests
against the government becoming a
partner in such a traffic. It was urged
that about a half million annual rev-
enue would be derived and would be
used for educational purposes. But the
plan was too Objectionable to public
opinion, and it will probably never be
revived

RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION
Negro in New York Is Providing 1t by
RAPIDLY Turrinu White.

New York, June 1S.-A remarkable case
of a negro turning white is that Of Ru-,
fus Hurburt, retail tobacconist, of 165
West Twenty-third street. The transfor-
nation began more than two years ago,
and has been progressive, with the singu-
lar phase that it is more rapid during the
summer than In winter. The new color is
very much like that of a normal white
person. 1t is not precisely a pallid white.
such as comes from sickness or haggard
condition.
Mr. Hurburt's natural hue of skin is not
black, but brown He was born in Saco,
Me-, in 1881, and his family history seems
to give no ground for conjecturing that
reversion is operating In his case. His
father came from Trinidad, West Indies,
and lived to the age of 10s years. His
mother, who was his fathers second wife,
married when she was u years old. She
is now "A years old.
A little more than two years ago he no.
ticed White spots appearing on his hands,
The white spots grew larger and larger,
and Mr.. Hurburt, though feeling perfect
ly well, thought it wise to get medical
advice. He called in his family physician,
DR.. Richard Conwell, who Immediately
detected the cause, and explained to his
patients astonishment, that process was
beginning by which the color of the skin
was changing from brown to white.
Long before the hands were even nearly
covered by white skin the scalp began to
turn white, then the whole body and final
ly the nose. Mr.. Hurburt's hands are now
almost wholly white. The body is now
partly white, every month showing a
steady progression in the change. The
scalp is more than half white The nose
is partly white, and will perhaps be wholly
white by September, according to the
present rate of progress. The rest of the
face is giving perceptible evidence of a
change
"Mr. Hurburts case said DR.. Conwell
today, "can best be described, perhaps, as
a freak Of nature in that individual. The
cause Of the change is pigmentation-a
lack of nutrition to the cuticle It is, as
I say, a very extraordinary case. and such
as is rarely met with Probably within
eight or ten years he will be wholly white
"a clear, normal white.''

/ Washington, June 1S.-Ex- Congress-
man Edward FL. briggs of Brooklyn is
to be prosecuted by the postofice au-

vised statutes, which provides that any

by the Brandt Automatic Cashier com
pany. Those who paid the money to
briggs also will be prosecuted. briggs
claims the money was paid him as an
attorneys fee. in a regular manner.
The announced plan of prosecuting
briggs is considered a beginning Of the
development of the scandals that have
been promised in connection with the
postoffice business in New York. Much
Investigation is going on. and more
facts and plans for prosecutions are
expected to be public in few days.
