that he feared his friend had robbed
him and seemed uneasy at his nom
appearance.
Powell was well connected and had
wealthy parents in Philadelphia. His
mother and two sisters live in that city
and are influential people. The body was
identified by Mrs. David Robb. wife of a
restaurant cook living at 325 Minna
street. Mrs. Robb knew Powell in Mani
tou Springs, Colo, where he worked for
her as a cook. She kept the Hotel Norris
at that place.
WILL SEARCH FOR POISON.
Mrs. Robb last saw Powell IN April,
when he came to her house to bid her
good-by, saying that he was going on
the road through Nevada with the
atrical company. Although she lived two
doors from Powell she says she did not
know he was in town until she was given
his description by Smith. Mrs Robb
says that the man stopping with Powell
was not his brother. he having but one.
a middle-aged man in the East. She could
not account for Powell travelling under
an assumed name. She declares that the
dead man was extremely effeminate and
had few bad habits. Only recently, she
says, had he learned to drink wine. He
was In receipt Of regular remittance
from his folks in Philadelphia.
Detective Reagan of the Southern sta
ton worked on the case. but failed to
come to any conclusion regarding the
method of death. The body was removed
to the Morgue. An analysis Of the wine
and the stomach's contents will be made
by the city chemist.
The carbolic acid that was found has
been eliminated as a factor in the unfor-
tunate mans death. The. deceased showed
no signs of acid poisoning and the bottle
found is said by Smith to be in the same
condition as 1t was week ago. Powell
used a solution of the phenol to wash a
sore finger.

ICING CHARGES
TO Be PROb[D
Interstate Commerce Board
Begins Investigation OF
Refrigerator Car Concerns
TO END DISCRIMINATION
Inquiry into Relations OF
Private and Main Lines
Will Extend to California

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission. on its own
initiative and as a result of complaints
against private car lines, to-day unex-
pectedly began an investigation of the
relations of railroad and refrigerator
lines, both of which. it is charged, are
violating the act regulating interstate
commerce in several specified part1cu-
lars. The complaint is directed against
the Armour Car Line, the American Re-
frigerator Transportation Company, the
Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch and
eleven railroads, including the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa E'e and the
Southern Pacific.
The railroads and refrigerator lines
are made respondents in the proceed
ings, which require that specific an
swers to the allegations be made TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
September 5. 1t is charged that by
way of rebates or other devises the re-
frigerator lines are acting for the rail-
roads as authorized agents, and the
railroads, acting through the refrig-
orator lines, are collecting and receiv-
ing for the refrigeration of fruit and
vegetables lower rates for some ship
pers than they are contemporaneously
receiving for similar service rendered
to other shippers. This is held to be
N-AO
act to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission the rates and charges i'm
posed for the refrigeration of fruits
and vegetables constitute a violation
of section 6 of the interstate commerce
act.
The commission alleges further that
the charges published jointly by the
refrigerator lines and the railroads for
the refrigeration of fruits in certain
specified territories are unreasonable
and unjust and in violation of section l.
The territories described include Indian
Territory. Texas. California and
Kansas.
Hearings have been held in various
sections of the country and not infre-
quently have changes in the schedules
been made for the announced purpose
of remedying alleged abuses. Combi-
nations of railroads and private car
lines have prevented any wholesale
regulation of these rates. Charges OF
discrimination against small shippers
have poured in on the commission fol
a number of years.

STUDENTS HEAR
NOTED LECTURER
Sir Patrick Manson Talks at
Cooper College on Some
More Tropical Diseases
ILLUSTRATES SUBJECT
Lantern Slides Are Used
to Show Character of
Germs in Many Stages

Sir Patrick Manson gave the second
and third of his series Of lectures before
the students of Cooper Medical College
yesterday. The subject for the morning
was The Guinea Worm" and for the
evening Parasitic Blood Splitting"
Many members of the medical fraternity
OF, San Francisco were present to listen
to the remarks of the famous pathologist.
The morning lecture was a further il
lustratlon of the distribution and effects
Of tropical diseases, this being the title
under which all of the lectures are to
come. Sir Patrick said in part:
The dissemination OF diseases depends. not on
the condi ton Of the human bcdy but on the
IN passing from enc human body to another.
The distribution OF the parasite depenos upon
the egg after entering The human booy, the
conditions OF the propagation being high tenn
perature and moisture.
Another condition that certain tropical dis
eases demand for culture is the presence OF
sorle animal TO enable them TO pass from the
embryotlc state 10 more fertile held. These
germs must OF necessity be fostered in tropical
climates. The guinea worm rs used 70 illus
trate this because the process by which this
worm gets rid of its young applies in this in
stance The young cf the guinea worm, after
escaping from q body into water, enters q
cfusIaceous form ana unocrgoes a decided
change in order TO Te-enter another body to
start on another rampage against health.
Parasitic blood splitting was taken up
in the address given in the auditorium in
the evening, and was dealt with in the
same style characteristic of. the previous
lectures by the noted man Of research.
He profusely illustrated his address on
the disease. that resembles consumption,
yet is distinct in being of different origin.
Sir Patrick told of the small parasite
that enters the system of some animals,
but never of the animals of America, be-
ing confined TO those of tropical regions,
and starts a cough and splitting. Later
the patients condition may resemble a
consumptive's and cause death as the lat
ter disease does.
Sir Patrick was alarmed, he said. by
the spread of this germ among the ami
mails with which it comes in contact. He
said it may enter the body of a man as
well and cause the patient to die from
its effects in a much shorter time than
animals.
Lantern slides of the many germs and
processes of development of these germs
from their embryonic state to full growth
were given. The students and hearers
were in this way enabled to get clearer
conception of their character.

DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
LUMBER FROM AMERICA
Government-ControlIe German Rail-
roads Impose Unreasonable
Freight Rates.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Although the
subject has figured for several years past IN
the diplomatic exchanges between America
and Germany, renewed interest is being taken
by the State Department in the representa-
tions made TO the German Government In be-
half Of the American lumber exporting trade
relative to alleged discrimination by the Gov
ernment-controlled German railroads against
American lumber ambassador Tower has
been instructed to inform the German Gov
ernment that. as the United States makes nc
discrimination between countries in the i'm
position of customs duties. American imports
into Germany should be treated in the same
manner.
The Germans are stated to have drawn what
the lumber exporters regard as a purely fam
ciful line of difference between standard
American and European hardwoods as a basis
for imposing much higher railroad rates on
the former.

CRATER OF MAUNA LOA
AGAIN SHOWS ACTIVITY
Hawaiian Vol -ano Reported to Be Is
suing Smoke in Unusually
Large Quantities.

HONOLULU. Aug. 15-Accordins to ad-
vices from the Island of Hawaii, the summit
crater of Mauna Loa is showing signs of ac-
tivity, Mokuaweoweo being reported to be
smoking to an unusual degree. The summit
whenever 1t shows any signs of activity the
fact is usually taken indication Of an
extended eruption.
Mokuaweoweo broke out nearly two years
ago and sent a vast quantity of lava from q
hssure near the top. Numerous parties made
the ascent then and witnessed the activity in
the crater 1t is not unlikely that the smoke
that was issuing last week from Mokuaweoweo
may be the herald of another outbreak of ex-
tensive character.
