BY WAY OF ADJUSTMENT.

Portland, June q, 1905.
Morning Astorian, Astoria.
"1o the Editor: By some error in
transmission, press dispatch from
Vienna, printed in your paper June H.
stated that "three thousand Christian
ScientistP following meeting in that
city "made demonstration against the
Hungarian ministry" breaking windows,
etc, and while the well.known peaceful
mission Of Christian Science makes de-
NAL of this inadvertant mis.statement
seem almost unnecessary, ! feel you will
nevertheless be glad to publish a word
in correction.
"Christian Scientists appreciate the
excellent account of the recent dedica-
tory services of the new two million
dollar extension of the Mother, Church
in Boston, which appeared in the Astor-
ian Of June 10th, and 1t was no doubt
due to this general interest Of the press
in the fact that some 10000 Christian
Scientists were assembled in Boston at
that time and to the further fact that
Christian Science is truly religion
which demonstrates its faith by good
works, that this reported "demonstra.
ton" at Vienna was thus miscrcdited
avery truly yours,
DAVID u. OGDEN"

FRAUD is ALLEGED.

CHICAGO. June 22.--Allegations of
fraud are contained in mysterious
bill, in the United States Circuit Court
Yesterday against the Flagler Iron 4
Steel Company of Chicago by Alfred 5.
Costello. H. II. Costello, Harvey Cheney
and Robert Cheney, whose names do not
appear in the city directory. The bill
which il for the recovery of claims ag.
gregating 100000, is directed against
Harvey X. flagler, who is named as
president of the company; Willis 7,
Dickinson, treasurer; W. r, Dickinson,
and Others.
Efforts to locate the defendants in
the case last night revealed the fact
that Mr.. rlagler is not resident but
was known in Boston FIVE years ago as
a promoter; that w. r. Dickinson sever.
ed his connection with the company
more than year ago and it is now the
belief that Franklin H. Head is presi'
dent of the company; Mr.. Head Is in
New York on business, and that MIR.
Helmer is member of Chicago law
firm.
According to the bill the Flagler Com
pany was Incorporated in 1904 with a
capital stock of $5OO0,0OO. 1t was to
buy, sell, bond. lease, and operate Ger.
tain mining properties, and it is charged
that the defendants by the use of this
alleged company several years ago con-
spired to defraud the complainants and
did defraud them of certain funds.

German Consul viii Bring Insur-
anee Companies to Time.
GERMAN COMPANIES MusTPAY
German Government Will Investigate
Status Of German Insurance Com
panies Relative to San Fran.
cisco Losses-Must Pay.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 22.-FanE
Bopp, the German consul in this city is
about to file an official report with his
government upon the insurance situation
here. In regard to the position of the
German companies involved here. he is
quoted as follows:
There is no doubt that the German
government has the right to control the
actions of all commercial companies in
corporated under the laws of Germany;
and where it can be demonstrated that
any insurance company is not acting
honestly by its patrons the government
i. empowered to bring it to reason.
81 am forwarding to the German gov
ernment my official report upon condi-
tions in San Francisco and upon the in
surance situation. The government will
undoubtedly give its attention to the
situation and will not permit any insur-
ance company that is able TO meet Its
obligations to escape them"
The German insurance companies do
ing business in this state are Aachen and
Munich, and Hamburg Bremen, North
German of Hamburg, Prussian National,
Rhine and Moselle and Transatlantic.
The latter. it is said, has now ceased
to write insurance in California.

FIND VALUABLE RING.
Men Search With Lanterns Through the
Grass and See the Glitter.

HEMPSTEAD. i. l., June 22.-Be-
cause they found diamond ring by
systematic search through the grass
with lanterns, four men here will re-
ceive reward of $1,000. The ring be-
longs to Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and
was given her on the occasion of her
marriage by the late William c. Whit
ney. She lost it on Saturday. When it
did not appear from any quarter and
after the lawn had been gone over many
time by daylight, the four men hit up
on the lantern idea. They procured a
diamond ring and experimented with it
in the grass and found that with a
bright lantern it would cast rays that
could be easily seen when the light was
ten feet away. The lawn was laid out
into squares. The light was worked
from each corner of each square last
night, and the ring, valued at $4,000
was soon recovered.

Special Weather Bulletin.

The following announcement was issued
by the weather bureau this afternoon:
The great San Francisco earthquake OF
April 18. 1906, was registered upon the
Bosch-Omori seismograph at the weather
bureau office at Washington. beginning at
h., 10 min, 20 Sec, seventy-fifth meridian
time. The record shows disturbance OF
considerable magnitude at Washington. al
though not severe enough to be felt by In
dividuals.
The stronger wave motion began at 6:2o
am, that is. about five minutes after the
first imperceptible tremors. The recording
pen was carried entirely OF the record
sheet by the violence of the motion from
s:32 to 8:35 am. After the latter time the
motion gradually diminished over longer
period OF time, but did not entirely cease
until about 1895 pm.
The vibratory motion OF the ground at
Washington was really comparatively
slow and deliberate motion, each back and
forth movement taking fifteen to twenty
seconds OF time. The largest movement OF
the ground registered before the pen went
on the sheet amounted to about four tenths
of an inch
