OFFICERS CRITICISED.

There Is open criticism Of the failure
OF the Slocum's officers and crew to
meet the emergency but as yet no for
NAL action has been taken either by the
municipal or federal authorities. Capt.
Van Schaick and the two pilots are un-
der arrest but are held only as Wit
nesses.
That there was terrible failure TO
meet the responsibilities Is undoubted.
No effort as far as can be learned was
made TO launch the life RATS or boats,
and no concerted attempt made toward
equlpping the helpless women and
children with life preservers.
But few Of those rescued and few of
the bodies recovered from the river had
on life preseryers and according to sew
eral statements most Of these supposed
instruments Of safety were practically
worthless, either coming apart when an
attempt was made 10 use them or not
possessing the buoyancy they are sup
posed 10 have,
There is very general criticism OF the
captain and pilots for their failure to
turn the vessels course the moment
they We're informed the fire gained
Roadway. Capt. Van Schaick has
made several statements, varying in
detail, hut none Of them Is considered
satisfactory.

CAUSE FOR
CONSUMPTION
Dust of the Street Communicates
Disease to Street Sweepers
Employed

NEW YORK. May 13.-It has been
discovered that the street cleaning de-
partment employees are peculiarly sub
ject to consumption. and grave alarm is
felt over the appearance of tuberculosis
among them. According to report of
a medical examiner recently submitted.
one fifth of the force is affected with
some form Of the disease. and an inves-
tigation seems to show that the work
Of sweeping the streets and the coming
in contact with the microbes lurking in
the dust are responsible for this state
OF affairs.
The men are absolutely healthy when
they begin their work. for they are re-
quired to pass physical examination
and get a clean bill of health from the
examiners before they can be appoint
ed. Most OF them are strong men. but
in a few years after taking up the work
Of street cleaning they begin to have
lung and bronchial troubles.
1t is said that about 1000 of them are
now afflicted. Numerous requests for
sick leave have prompted an investiga
ton, and this developed such a surpris-
ing amount of lung trouble that the
only plausible explanation of it is the
nature of the work.

INVENTION TO
Save THE COLD.
Placer Machine Been Built That
Can Successfully Operate
Snake River Bars

The Houser bar. sbeIow Lewiston ON
the Snake river. has been leased by
Mr.. Lane Of this city and number OF
associates and the Lewiston Foundry q
Machine works have just completed for
them an entire gold saving devise OF
which Mr.. Lane is the patentse. MT.
Lane has been working on the inven-
ton for some time past and from tests
made recently the machine has proven
a success in saving the -four gold from
the black sands of the Snake river. The
large machine just completed will revo-
lutionize the placer mining OF tha
Snake river bars should il be a success
and from what Mr.. Lane says there is
no doubt.
This morning teams began the haul
ing of the large boiler made by the
foundry people and the balance of the
equipment will be moved as soon as
teams can take il. The invention is
something new in the line of placer
ferent lines.
The rocks and pebbles are run over
system of block rifles and is sepa-
rated from the black sand. The sand
then runs off into a huge cast iron
concave which operated alternately in
motion washes the black sand throw
ing the light sand off and dropping the
heavy through an aperture in the CEN
ter into amalgamated basins The gold
is then amalgamated making it inIpos-
sible to get away
The device is simple and practical
and from the information CLEANED on
the subject is likely TO be means of
making Mr.. Lane and his associates
wealthy. There is no little amount OF
gold in the bars along Snake river and
there is an endless field TO work over
The large engine which goes with the
plant will be completed by the foundry
people within a few days after which
it will be shipped to the bar. Opera
tions will begin at the placer digginGs
