Ihad Nasal Catarrh for years for which

1 tried local applications for some time,
and getting no permanent relief cameto
the conclusion that the seat of the trouble
was in the blood. Knowing S. S. S. to be
good blood medicine I began its use,
and after using it for some little while it
did away entirely with the offensive mu-

DOES NOT WANT
TO APPOINT ALL

Governor Carter is opposed to the
county commission resolution in the
form in which it passed the Legislature
yesterday. While the resolution as pro-
posed gives him power to appoint all
five members of the commission, he
wants the House and the Senate to each
designate two of the members. He
feels that the two Houses should be
willing to share the responsibility of
the commission, as the question 1t VIII
have to solve will be a most difficult
one. The Governor suggests that the
Speaker of the House and the President
of the Senate be members of the COM
mission, and is also of the opinion that
it's membership should be confined to
competent men able to draft u form of
government that will conform with the
Organic Act and yet be satisfactory to
the people as a whole. He recognizes
the difficulties in the way of the COM
mission and consequently intends to in
sist that the Legislature should share
in the responsibility of naming the
men.

WILL START WORK
NEXT ON MAUI

There was long conference yester-
day between Governor Carter and
Supt. Holloway over the work to be
done under the loan act. The Governor
is anxious that the expenditure of the
funds for the needed improvements
should begin without delay and has
asked Holloway to hurry matters as
much as possible. Supt. Holloway is
ready to begin work on the new road
to the Kula homesteads on Maui, and
also to construct the lao Valley road,
or the portion of it for Which funds
are available out of the loan fund. Mr..
Holloway also has the surveys ready
for the road from Nahiku to Kailua,
on Maui, but the appropriation of $4O-
900 will not be sufficient to complete
the work.

ELECTRIC CAR
KILLS COUPLE
Special Dispatch to The Can.

CHICAGO, June 26.-Mr. and Mrs.
George E. Dixon of La Grange were
instantly killed to-day when their au-
tomobile was wrecked by a collision
with an Interurban electric street car.
An explosion of the gasoline tank fol-
lowed and the victims bodies were
drenched with falling oil and badly
burned. The brakes of the electric car
were destroyed and dozen panic
stricken passengers were whirled along
for more than a mile in momentary
danger of death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon were driving
from the north and the car was going
east The booth of the motorman was
so arranged that he could not well see
vehicles or persons approaching from
the left Before he was aware of the
approach of the automobile from the
front the machine was in the middle of
the track. The car struck the automo-
bile with terrific force and hurled it
forty feet away. AS the vehicle struck
the ground the gasoline tank exploded
and threw blazing oil in all directions.
Most of the burning fluid fell upon the
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon, who had
been fearfully mutilated and instantly
killed in the crash. Every passenger in
the car was thrown down by the shock
of the collision. The panic which en-
sued was increased when the electric
car began to race ahead at increased
speed. The collision had made the
brakes useless and gave full play to the
electric power. The motorman could
do nothing, but he stuck to his post un-
til the power was turned off, some one
having telephoned to the power house.

Police Court to-day pointed out Frank
L. Stewart, d prisoner, as one with
whom she had seen the wealthy young
Vermonter, for whose recovery, dead
or alive, his family has offered a reward
of $4,000.
Another man, also with a criminal
record, is being sought by the police,
and Magistrate Pools action gave pub
licity to-day to the investigation which
has been going on for two weeks, and
which Inspector McClusky did not wish
to reveal until he had both the sus-
pected men in custody.
Mrs. Hall said that about November
25 of last year man unknown to her
previously had called at her house one
night and asked to rent a room. He
was shown one and promptly accepted
1t and paid a weeks rent in advance
He left and did not return until the
week had almost expired. When the
man returned he was accompanied by
Iieves, was Kingsley, the wealthy
Vermonter.
The missing man was of marked
personal appearance-short, very bald
and wore glasses-and Mrs. Halls de-
scription fitted that of Kingsley in
every particular.
The supposed Kingsley and his two
companions remained in her home
only about twenty minutes. Mrs. Hall
said that during that time he wrote
on a card for her: Henry Baxter

From 6000 photographs at police head

larceny here, once since the disappear
ance of Kingsley.
The Inspector said that both men
could be picked up.

MOSQUITOES AT PANAMA
CARRIERS OF DISEASE
Former Navy Surgeon Says Great
Care Must Be Taken by Men
Working on Canal.

NEW YORK, June 26.-''It will re-
quire extraordinary precaution on the
part of the officials in charge of the
work of constructing the Panama canal
to prevent serious illness among the
men employed there. The diseases
most to be feared are yellow fever,
fnalarial fever and elephantiasis, near
ly every case of which is due TO in
incubation by mosquitoes. If the Off
cials insist on the observance of some
simple rules the danger from disease
can almost be eliminated"
DR.. r. O. Marcour, who made the
above statement at New York Navy
Yard to-day, has recently resigned
from the naval service. In his six
years service he has had varied ex-
perience in the treatment of tropical
fevers. having been stationed at Ha-
vana and Samoa. He only recently
returned from Panama.
THE mosquitoes are to be feared
more than anything else at Panama,
continued Dr. MarcOur. When l first
went there we were having an average
of five new cases of malaria reported
every day. 1t was impossible to
ascribe any reason for this at first.
One night / made an inspection and
found that very few of the men were
using the mosquito nets which had
been provided for them. / made a re-
port on this and the men were ordered
to use the nets properly and the spread
of disease was checked at once.

Himself a Hero in Rail
road Disaster at Angels
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, June 26.-Out of last
evenings fatal train wreck on the Sier-
ra road near Angels, in which two
Stockton women lost their lives, comes
a story of bravery and heroism on the
part of Ted Melone, the local ball play
er, who was one of the injured. The
young man all but lost his life in an at
tempt TO rescue Mrs, Joseph de Martini,
ore of the women killed.
The story was brought TO Stockton
by Carlos Sampson, one of the ball
players, who returned from the scene
Of the disaster at noon to-day. Samp-
son states that the screeching of the
runaway work train was heard about
minute before the crash came. AS soon
as the passengers realized their danger
there was a mad rush for the doors.
MeIone got clear of the rear platform,
but turned back to pull one of the
frightened women off the platform.
Then the collision came. The body of
Mrs de Martini was mashed to pulp
and Melone was caught in the wreck
age.
For an hour and ten minutes the
gritty ball player was pinned across the
body of the woman he risked his life to
save. He was caught by his right arm
and shoulder. While volunteers worked
to extricate him Melone endured awful
agony MY God. get gun and shoot
me. boys" he exclaimed, Il can't stand
this longer" 1t was feared that IT
would be necessary to amputate his
arm in order to release him. Don't
let them cut my arm OFF, was Melone'
appeal to his comrades.
The engineer on the work train is
blamed for the accident. The railroad
company will not divulge his name:
The bodies of Mrs. Joseph de Martini
and Mrs. Frank Valente the victims,
are still at jamestown. The former will
be brought to Stockton for burial. while
the latter will be inferred at Murphys.
