TT spares no class or nationality. The
/ cultured and the ignorant, the ar1sto-
crat and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Grip is we'll named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
grip"
Without intending to do so, new
word has been coined that exactly de-
scribes the case. AS il some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men. women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful grip

DIAMONDS ARE MISSING;
WOMAN Is UNCONSCIOUS
SHE is FOUND UPON WALK IN
FRONT OF HOME
Friends of Mrs. e. Walters Believe
She Was Knocked Down and
Robbed as She Left Her Home
Last Evening

Detectives Mckenzie and Cowen were
at 542 South Flower street yesterday
evening to investigate the report of a
robbery in which Mrs. Walters is be-
lieved to be the victim.
Two large diamonds and a certified
check for $3.50 are missing from her
person and friends of Mrs. Walters,
who is unconscious, fear that she was
knocked down and robbed.
Investigation revealed that Mrs.
Walters either fell when leaving the
house or was knocked down, sustain
ing slight bruises and a nervous shock
which rendered her unconscious.
M. V. Roark, who lives at 538 South
Flower street. asserts that he saw two
young men approach from the opposite
side of the street and pick up the won-
an as she lay upon the walk and carry
her into the house.
Up to late hour last night nothing
of a definite nature could be learned
by the police regarding the manner Of
Mrs. Walters injury or her loss. The
was robbed by the young men who as
sisted her, but hold the opinion that
If she was robbed, it was before they
appeared or after she was taken in the
house.
The check was certified and the
stones weigh one and one-half and two
carats. These, the officers believe, will
be found when the woman RECEIVERS con-
scousness. She is delirious and believes
that she is in her home in Chicago.

ENGLISH PEOPLE ON BOARD
1t Is Feared That Sister OF Lord
Lanesborough Is Lost
By Associated Press.


ST. MALO, France, Nov 19.-The ex-
act number of lives lost on the Hilda
is unknown here. 1t is understood
there were about twenty first class
passengers, including several English
people. Among the latter were Hon.
Mrs. Butler, sisterin-law of Lord
Lanesborough, and Col. Eillet. Though
1t is not certain that these were actual
ly on board, they were expected to
travel by the Hilda and it is known that
all the first-class passengers were
drowned. These passengers were Eng
lish officers and others who were COM
ing to rejoin their families or to spend
the season at st. Malo and Dinard (op-
posite st. Malo).
1t appears to be certain that only
six were saved, these being five onion
sellers and an English seaman named
Grinler. and that the total on board,
including the crew, numbered 100.
The delay in the arrival of the Hilda
at first caused little anxiety, as there
was dreadful weather in the channel
and as every one had full confidence in
her captain, Gregory, an experienced
man, who was likely to exercise eau
tion in approaching the dangerous
coast of Brittany, which he had known
for thirty years The disaster was
first suspected through the washing
ashore of body, and the port author
tiles Immediately sent out a tug. 1t
was then learned that the Hilda was
wrecked on treacherous reef close to
the Island of Cezambre (called Les
portes). She had apparently struck,
broken her back and Immediately sunk,
leaving no time to launch the boats.
The Jardin light is quite close to the
spot.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore at different points, some wear
ing life belts. Six of the survivors, ac~
cording to report in circulation here,
were rescued by the Ada from the rig
ging.

CROZIER'S REPORT ON
ARMS VERY VALUABLE
COPY WILL BE SENT TO EACH
OFFICER OF ARMY
Document Contains Interesting lnfor-
nation on Development Of Modern
Guns and Suggestions Toward Inn
proving Their Power and Durability
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The report
of Gen. William Crozier, chief of ord
nance, is so replete with technical in
formation concerning the arms and
armament of the United States army
that Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff,
has recommended that copy of it be
sent to each officer in the army. Gen.
Crozier presents some interesting in
formation showing the growth of gun
construction; how it has advanced from
old style guns to meet the improved
conditions in the manufacture of guns;
the growing increase in the thickness
of armor and the improved powder
which is used for firing these guns. A
problem now confronts ordnance Off
GERS on account of the wearing of the
bore of the gun through the great ve-
locity of the projectiles, with the re-
suit that "after some fifty or sixty
rounds from large guns the rifiing is so
worn away that the projectiles are no
longer given the motion Of rotation
necessary to steadiness of fight and
inevitable loss of accuracy results. The
question whether the guns should not
be used at a power less than their
strength bles the realization of, in
order to diminish the erosion and in
crease the life, is being considered"
The report says:
ut must be remembered that in thus
using the guns at less power the energy
of the projectile is reduced by a sac
rifice of that quality which it loses
soonest in fight in any event, namely.
the velocity; and it must also be re-
membered that it is quite possible to re-
tain the superiority Of the gun over
anything which it is called upon to at
tack by using larger calibers for given
work and by building guns of larger
size than is now customary, expert
mental constructions, as well as theory
and natural foresight, having shown
that the present conventional maximum
need by no means be accepted as a
limit"
Gen. Crozier says that at the sug-
gestion of the president further con-
sideration by the general staff resulted
in the substitution of knife for
rod bayonet for the army rifles. He
adds:
I'm view of the instructions of the
president of the United States that the
utility of the design of the saber used
in our service be considered, the man
ufacture of the 10000 sabers and the
$4,000 scabbards referred to in my last
report was suspended from February
"a to July II, 1905"
Entrenching tools have been adopted
as a part of the soldiers equipment.

Big Mass Is Laid Away at MIdvaIe, Pa,
With the Solemn Rites Of the

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1s.--At Mid
vale today a forty-ton steel ingot per-
meated with the blood and bones of
two workmen were buried with the
solemn rites of the Roman Catholic
church. The workmen who were so
strangely laid away were John Forkin
and Joseph Gaseda, two foreign-speak-
ing laborers, who met horrible death
a week ago. They were In pit near
a cupola containing $4,000 pounds of
molten steel. A plug gave way and
the fiery fluid poured from the cupola
and overwhelmed them. The men were
completely incinerated, and not trace
of them or their clothing was left.
The Midvale Steel company was
averse to selling the steel or using it
and 1t was decided to bury it with the
rites of the church to which the unfor-
tunate men had belonged. Accordingly
the forty-ton ingot, oval in shape,
twenty-eight feet long, six feet wide
and five feet thick was moved last
week by travelling crane to the rear
of the machine shop, where grave ten
feet deep had been made. The great
mass of metal was laid in the hole and
a platform built over 1t so that the
burial services could be better per-
formed.
A great crowd sought admission to
the works today but only the two sis
ters of Gaseda who depended upon
him for support and about 100 work.

Among the officials was President
Charles Harrah. All heads were barred

ices After the sisters of Gaseda had
been led away the great ingot was
covered with earth and the funeral
party dispersed. The grave of the men
will be appropriately marked by the

HUNDRED
DROWNED
Steamer Wrecked Off
French Coast
Misses Course In Storm
and Strikes Rocks
Indications Are That Only Six Of the
Passengers and Crew Are Saved.
Many Bodies Washed
Ashore
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Southwestern
Railways cross-channel steamer Hilda
was wrecked this morning off st. Malo
on the north coast of France and 1t
is believed that 100 or more of her pas
sengers and crew were drowned. The
Hilda left Southampton Friday night
for ST. Malo with considerably more
than 100 souls on board. Her passage
was greatly delayed by fog in the
channel and when nearing ST. Malo
she ran into a severe snowstorm, ap-
parently missed her course and foun-
dered on the rocks off Jardin ligat-
house, three miles from st. Malo.
The company's steamer Ada, outward
bound from ST. Malo, rescued three of
the passengers and one of the crew.
These are now on the way to South
ampton. There is an unconfirmed
report that seventy had been saved.
The crew numbered twenty-six and
there were about 100 passengers, all
Frenchmen. the majority being onion
dealers from st. Brieuc and neighbor-
hood.
A telegram from ST. Severan, ad-
joining the town of st. Malo, gives
the few particulars yet available. The
ftllQd was near St. MdlO OdluTudy
morning. She struck the rocks at 4
o'clock Sunday morning in the road
stead off the island of Cezembre, having
missed the tide owing to bad weather
and fog.
The majority of the crew and passen-
gers were asleep at the time. rwo
boats were lowered, one of which, con-
tanning five men, arrived at st. Sew
eran. The second boat was picked up
empty at st. Cast, where thirteen bodies
were washed ashore. The top of the
Hilda's funnel and her mast are visi-
BILE at low tide, according to the tele-
gram from st. Severan. o
The Hilda was built at Glasgow in
1882 and registered S48 tons. She was
a screw steamer of iron construction
and was 255 feet in length.
The Southwestern Railway company
is as yet unable to give a list of the
Hildas passengers, but they say that
a score booked passage at stations be-
tween London and Southampton and
that to the best of their knowledge
ninety-nine were drowned and only
six saved.
The company is still without reliable
details as to how the disaster hap
pened. Its agents at st. Malo only
briefly reported: "The Ada has put
back and reports the Hilda is a total
wreck at Lesportes reef outside Jardin
lighthouse. The Ada's boats saved five
onion men and seaman named Grin
Ter out of the rigging. They appear to
be only survivors"

GAMBLING RAID STIRS

JURISDICTION OF PORTLAND Is
QUESTIONED
Descent of City's Police on Resort in

County Causes Complications, and

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. ia pecu-
liar legal ENHANCEMENT is like
ly, 1t is said, to result from raid made
last night by Portland police on the Mil
waukee Country club, gambling resort
operated in the city of Milwaukee.
Clackamas county, a town lying on
the Willamette river a couple of miles
south of the city limits of Portland.
According to the charter of the city
of Portland, which Is in Multnomah
county, granted by the state legisla-
ture, the police power Of Portland to
suppress gambling extends distance
of four miles outside the boundaries
of the city.
At the time the charter was passed
there was no incorporated town within
four miles of Portland's limits. Sub
sequently, however, the legislature
passed an act Incorporating the city
of Milwaukee, comforting upon 1t the
usual police powers enjoyed by incor-
porated cities.
shortly after Sheriff Word of this
county concluded a successful campaign
against gambling in Portland. Isaac
"Frenchy' Grattan established the
Milwaukee Country club. This institu-
tion has been a thorn in the side of
Mayor Harry Lanes administration
and after months of threats, the local
detectives finally raided the place.
Grattan. who is a man of large
means, claimed to have expended $40,
900 in his resort, and, 1t is said, will
contest in the courts the question as to
whether the act incorporating Milwau-
kee did not repeal the police power of
Portland as the territory within Mil
waukee is concerned and also as to
whether the state can vest in munich
pal corporation the power to invade
the confines of another county of the
state for any purposes whatever.
Legal authorities in this city disagree

50 KILLED, MANY
INJURED IN FIRE
GLASGOW VISITED BY WORST
BLAZE IN YEARS
Cheap Lodging House Partly Burned.
PanIe-strleken Men Escaping
and Bodies Of Dead Choke
Passageways
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GLASGOW, Nov. 19.--The most ter
rible fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke out here
today in cheap lodging house in Wat
son street and resulted in the loss of
thirty-nine lives and the severe injury
of many others.
The flames were first noticed at 8
o'clock this morning on the fourth floor
Of the building, which was occupied by
800 men. An alarm was raised and the
firemen responded quickly, but the
flames and smoke were then issuing
from most of the windows on the
fourth floor. An extraordinary scene
was created by a procession of almost
naked men rushing out Of the entrance
to the building and against their frantic
efforts to escape the firemen had actu-
ally to fight for admission.
Reaching the upper floors, the fire.
men found that the narrow passages
were becoming congested with men who
had dropped to the floors overcome by
smoke. The fire, however, was con-
fined to the fourth floor, and as soon
as the firemen were able to get to
work it was speedily extinguished. The
flames had been fed by the wooden
partitions which threw off volumes Of
smoke, resulting in the suffocation of
the inmates, but others had to be taken
to hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented a
horrible sight.
Many were sleeping in the attic floor
above the burning fourth floor and had
narrow escapes. The flames burst
through the floor and 1t was impossible
for the men to descend. The windows
were securely fastened and the men
had to break them so that they could
climb through to neighboring roofs.
By 10 o'clock a search of the building
was made and complete list of the
victims obtained which showed that
thirty nine were dead and thirty-two
were injured.
1t appears to be the custom of these
lodgers to sleep in a nude condition and
the march of the survivors to the
police station was a fantastic one.
Some had snatched the covers of the
beds and others their trousers, while
many wore nothing. The local authori-
ties had to be called upon to supply
the men with clothing and warm meals.
0wingssto their migratory habits and
the absence Of permanent homes many
of the dead will never be identified.
The Identification of others is rendered
difficult by the absence of clothing.
