That Mrs. Stanford feared death by

THE AUTOPSY.
The remains were removed yesterday
morning to the Queens Hospital where
an autopsy was performed. The physi-
clans performing this work were prs.
Wood. Day and Murray. The result
Of the autopsy will not be given out
officially until the coroner's inquest
takes place, but 1t is known that the
findings were that Mrs. Stanford came
to her death from tetanus of the re-
spiratory organs, and this could have
been caused by strychnine poisoning.
The remains were yesterday embalmed
THE SUICIDE THEORY.
The theory was advanced during the
day that Mrs. Stanford may have COM
mitted suicide. The grounds for this
belief are that for many years Mrs.
Stanford has been a spirituali.t t and her
mind has been impregnated with all
manner of hallucinations. Although she
talked nationally on some subjec cts, yet
when the question of spiritualism was
brought up, she showed an eager be-
lief in it. She is known to have con-
suited mediums.
CORONER'S JURY.
Deputy High Sheriff Rawlins swore in
the following coroners jury early yes
terday morning at the Moana Hotel:
w. c. Peacock, j. II. Hertsche, T. A.
Hays, III. Jeffrey, j. w. Harvey and E.
S. Cunha. The jurors viewed the re-
mains at $3.50 a. m. The jury was then
dismissed subject to the call of the High
Sheriff. The inquest may be held to-
day, but at any rate it will not be held
until the examination of the contents
Of the stomach has been made.
DIR. HUMPHREYS POSITION.
DIR. Humphris, the physician called to
attend the dying philanthropist, re-
fused to give out any statement yester-
day. He stated he would be a witness
at the inquest, but would make no
oIatSilSht pSioIelhHu. ne ulu not at
tend the autopsy.
When DR.. Humphris was first called
in to attend Mrs. Stanford he secured
the vial of soda and took it away with
him. This is regarded from the stand
point of law as having weakened that
important link of evidence, as the vial
should have been allowed to come first
into the hands of the police.
DR.. Humphris admitted yesterday how
ever, that he had tasted the contents,
but refused to say what he believed the
stuff to be. 1t was bitter, that was all.
He said the taste of bicarbonate was
not bitter.
DIR. JORDAN NOTIFIED.
DR.. Jordan, head of the Stanford Uni
versity, was notified early yesterday
morning by cablegram sent by DIR.
Humphris of the tragic end of Mrs.
Stanford. A cablegram was received
during the day from DIR. Jordan asking
that Judge Stanley take charge of all
matters affecting Mrs. Stanford.
MISS BERNER'S STORY.
Miss Berner, the companion and sec
retary of Mrs. Stanford, was question
ed yesterday by High Sheriff Henry,
but little was learred from her, or the
maid, Miss Hunt, which threw any light
on the tragedy Miss Berner said that
an attempt had been made in California

WHEAT MARKET QUIET
Decline in Price Does Not Alarm
Farmers.

The price of wheat in Walla Walla
has steadily sagged the past week,
bluestem declining from II to 66h
and club from Ga and 64k to go cents
a busnel. Lack of demand for export
purposes and rumors of a big worlds
crop is responsible, wheat men say
for the present sag.
Farmers, however, declare they are
not alarmed at the present conditions
and will hold the new crop for better
prices. About the only sales being
made are by farmers who need little
money to pay off their harvest crews
and provide funds to tide them over
until they can dispose of the bulk OF
their holdings at good prices Ware
houses and elevators all over the coun-
try are filling up and in many In
stances the houses are full and wheat
is being stacked on platforms to await
shipment. .-.i

have thus endeavored to draw out
are Prof. c. Willard Hayes. the editor
on economic geology; Mr.. Eckles. one

ment.
One prominent scientist said today
that there had sprung up among the
scientists engaged on government
work a disposition to indulge in what
the scientific world called tainted
science" He said that it was best ex-
hibited in what was being disclosed
in the department of agriculture,
where the only men who had been de-
tected in wrong doing were "scien-
tists." He expressed the belief that
a radical examination of methods in
the geological survey was needed.

MASTER MECHANIC OF LINES IN
STATE PROTEST AGAINST
SPARK ARRESTER.
II Forestry Board Order Is Maintained
All the Locomotives Will be
Rendered Useless.

Master mechanics representing all
the railroads in the state, will protest
to the state board of forest commits
sioners against the enforcement Of a
ruling that spark arresters on loco
motives shall have six mesnes to the
inch. Three mesh arresters are claim
ed by the railroads to be the standard
and the only kind that will work sat
isfactorily with Washington coal.
The Northern Pacific has already
protested and this protest will be poin-
ed by the other lines operating in
Washington. The Pacific Coast COM
pany mas announced an intention of
taking up the fight on behalf of the
Columbia & Puget Sound.
For woodworking locomotives it is
claimed the smaller mesh arresters
can be worked more satisfactorily, but
aside from the small logging roads
operated under private ownership.
coal is the fuel for Washington roads
Coal-burning locomotives would be put
out Of business by the mesh prescrib-
ed by the forestry board. 1t is pointed
out by the master mechanics that the
coal dust and smoke would fill up
the fine mesh and within short time
would choke up the stacks so that it
is questionable whether smoke could
be emitted and it would be impossible
to keep up steam.
During the summer months the Pa
cific Coast company uses Franklin
coal on the Columbia & Puget Sound.
This fuel does not emit sparks that
will live until they reach the ground,
but the company does not protest
against installing three-mesh spark
arresters. 1t is claimed with the three
mesh arresters sparks can be held in
the stacks and the draft will not be
shut off.
The law is general in it's effect, de-
manOlnS the use OIL SPARK drIeSleTS
from June to October in all locomo-
tives, logging engines and farm en-
gines or boilers. Thus far there has
been no disposition, save in one in
stance, to make trouble for the roads
using the three-mesh arresters, but
trouble is anticipated.
Railroad attorneys claim the order
of the board can be successfully re-
sisted in court on the ground that its
enforcement would prevent the opera
ton of trains. But the railroad COM
panies are anxious to avoid expensive
litigation, and will make their appeal
to the board of forest commissioners
for a revision of the ruling.

HEAD SAWYER IN MILL CANNOT
BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
ACCIDENT.
Holds That csse Of o'6rien Against
Tacoma Mill Company Should Not
be Dismissed.

In an opinion rendered by the su-
preme court that tribunal holds that
the head-sawyer in a sawmill occupies
a position of e-principal in respect
to the employees under his immediate
direction, and that the fellow servant
plea is not available as a defense In
damage suit for injuries to men UNI
der him caused by the negligence OF
such sawyer.
The decision is in a Pierce county
case. William O'Brien occupied the
position of "dogger" on the log car
rage in the mill Of the Page Lum-
Der company at Buckley. His duties
were to fasten the dogs of the car
riage into the logs under the jirec-
ton of the sawyer. While engaged IN
his duties the sawyer, through alleges
negligence, operated the "nigger" In
sucn a manner that a log was thrown
over the blocks and against the lever.
releasing the carriage. The carriage
travelled along its track and the log
end swept along the side of the mill
O'Brien attempted to escape, but his
hand was caught and he lost three
fingers.
In the trial Of the case the lower
court directed the jury to bring In
a verdict for the mill company on the
ground that the negligence, If shown.
was that of a fellow servant. The su-
preme court holds that this was error.
The dogger performs his duties under
direction of the sawyer, and while the
latter has not the power of employ
ing men, he reports incompetency and
his advice is considered in the dis
charge of employees. The supreme
court holds that in one sense he is q
fellow servant and in another a vice.
principal. The case should nave been
submitted to the jury and it is re-
manded for further proceedings.
