tonight. Six persons were probably fatal

less seriously injured. The names Of the
victims have not been learned.
The accident occurred during an illumina-

main str eets of the city. Hundreds of peo-
pie had gone to the bridge TO watch the il

sicians' offices and the City Hospital. The
illumination was ended at once.
The section of the bridge which collapsed
had dropped its 200 sightseers twenty-five
feet int a bank of sand and debris on the
river bank. For half an hour the bank was
a confused heap of women, children and
men, some with their arms or legs frac-
tured or suffering with the pain of serious
or possibly fatal injuries. Those who were
less seriously injured and those who es-
capped injury helped the police carry away
their friends.

why did they kill the last King?'

trouble with the army
suppose this one has trouble with the
army?"
"They will kill him, too" came the un-
concerned response.
Ii is believed that the army will try TO
make secret terms with the new King by
which II will retain the supremacy gained
by the tragedy, but whether the King will
agree to the conditions is uncertain.

simultaneously along the main street

a regiment of soldiers, with it's band, was
carrying to the grave the remains of a
young lieutenant to whom had been ac-

THE PROSECUTION.
The prosecution is being pushed by the

in the United States on similar lines TO the
American Bankers Association, which has
been so successful in eradicating fraudulent
operations on bankers paper. Mr.. Roach,
who represents their interests in the mid

Detective Agency, says the cases against
the brokers throughout the country Will
be pushed in the courts as fast as sufn-
cient evidence can be gathered to warrant
arrests.
Mr. A L. Messing, of the Messing ticket
agency, stated last night that he felt conn-
dent that the cases against the brokers' IN
this city would be dismissed. He claims
the evidence in the hands of the prosecu-

that the railroads are merely trying to
drive the brokers out of business by pounc-

POPE LEO'S HEALTH GOOD
TALKED WITH HIS NEPHEW, COUNT
CAMILLO PECCI, YESTERDAY,
And Laughed Heartily When Remind
ed Of an Italian PrOverb Concern
ing Death Announcements.

ROME, June 16.-Dr. Lapponi visited the
Pope to-day and changed his treatment.
The doctor said he found the Pontiff in bet
ter health.
Count Camille Pecci, the Pope's nephew,
to-day presented the Pontiff in the name
of Charles Astor Bristed and his daughters,
of New York. with a magnificent gold pee
toral cross adorned with diamonds, pearls
and rubies. His Holiness was much pleased
with the gift and charged his nephew to
convey his appreciation and thanks to the
donors.
The conversation during Count Peccis
visit turned on the recent reports OF Sc
rious illness and even the death of the
Pontiff, at which Pope Leo showed consid-
erable irritation and annoyance. His nephew
in reassuring him said: Your Holiness must
keep in mind the Italian proverb: The an
nouncement of ones death always adds
years to ones life.' This assures that you
will live to see hundred" At which re-
mark the Pope laughed heartily.

Property Loss About One Million Dol
lars-An Eyewitness's Account
of the Storm.

THE DALLES, Ore, June ia tele-
phone message from lone says the latest
find in the ruins OF Heppner indicates that
the loss of life will be much greater than
at first supposed. The casualty list will foot
up 500 and many of the bodies will never be
recovered. The property loss anddestruction
of buildings alone will aggregate probably
a million dollars. This is regarded as a
conservative estimate. One hundred and
fifty OF the best residences were swept
away. The debris is piled along the rail-
road track to the height OF freight cars.
The relief work is progressing at a sat-
isfactory pace.
Among the incidents of the catastrophe
was the saving OF three lives by Julius
Keitley. seventy years old, who rode one
mile and a half on the roofs of houses and
pulled in three people from the flood James
Herman. the o. r. & N. agent. met his
death at the telegraph key trying to raise
Portland and inform the outside world of
the impending calamity. His little daugh-
ter Katie. who was saved by remaining in
the station house, saw her father and
mother lost in the whirl of the mad waters.
Katie stood by while her father was calling
the Portland office when the flood swept in
Herman rushed out of the house and start
ed for a high point OF ground. Herman
braveiy sought to save his wife and both
were lost.
One of the most thrilling adventures was
that OF Thomas Shuler. who with his fam
lily was carried down stream In his house
for a mile and a half. His wife and two
children stepped into the upper rooms. Be-
low town the house was shot across the
creek TO the west side, where 1t lodged in
Debris $50 yards from the canyon bank.
Shuler then took his two little ones on his
shoulder and swan two hundred yards in
the boiling torrent. He landed the children
and then struck out to the house for his
wife and rescued her.
The Mcbride family, which was lost, went
down In their house. The daughter
to Louis Mckinney, who with his family
ran out in the nick of time from their home
to escape. Mckinney saw the whole Nc
Bride family perish.

old MAN in THE TOLLS
JOHN b. HEISTAND CLAIMS TO HAVE
BEEN CONFEDERATE GENERAL.
He II Charged at the Police Station
with Attempting n Small Con-
Adence Game.

John B. Heistand, of st. Louis, was
placed under arrest last night by Detec-
tives Lancaster and Kurtz charged with
attempting to obtain money under false
pretenses.
Mr.. Heistand went to the Grand Hotel
yesterday afternoon and registered from ST.
Louis. He is a handsome old gentleman,
giving his age as seventy-one and has a
very aristocratic bearing, but in spite of
that fact was lodged with the ordinary
drunks behind the bars at the police sta
ton.
Shortly after arriving in the city he went
to the German Orphans Home and repre-
senting himself to be a lawyer from ST.
Louis, stated that he was the administra-
tor of the estate of Mrs. Kaufman, a
woman who. he said, died recently in his
native city. He said that he came to In
dianapols to pay to the German Orphans
Home the sum of $1,000 which Mrs Kauff-
man had beaueathed it in her will He
presented a check on the State National
Bank of st. Louis for $1,000. payable to his
order by r. NJ. Ommedeau & Co.. who he
said were cotton brokers in ST. Louis. and
indorsed IT, over to Mr.. c. Hankemeier su-
perintendent of the institution, stating that
there were administrators charges of 50. Is
against the bequest. which he asked Mr..
Hankemeier TO pay TO him. This Mr.
Hankemeier refused to do until he saw the
treasurer of the organization. He told
Mr.. Heistand to go back to his hotel and
ne would see that the 1915 was sent to him
tonight. In the meantime he notified the
detectives. who secured the check and
went TO the Grand Hotel TO see Mr..
Heistand, who. on being told that the check
was not good, became very indignant. In
spite of his protests he was placed under
arrest. and arriving at the police sta
ton, admitted that he needed a little money
and took that means of securing il. He
said he had been drinking heavily in the
last few weeks and had spent all the money
he had saved On arriving here, he said
he found himself penniless and merely
wanted TO get enough money to pay his
hotel bill, which was 81.
When he gave the check to lMr. Hanke-
meier ne took his receipt for the amount
of the check and the detectives think ne
hoped to use the receipt as evidence of his
honesty I'm future transactions of this char
acter where he would probably attempt to
secure a larger sum of money for his fee.
Mr.. Heistand claims TO have been a gen.
eral in the Southern army and says ne is
a member of of the most prominent
families I'm the State OF Missouri He takes
his arrest greatly TO heart and says his
mad desire for drink has worked his ruin.
