STEAMSHIP FIRE
TRANSPORT MEADE IN FLAMES
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
THREE MET sUFf0CATED

Tons of High Explosives on Board
Only Heroic Work Prevents Enor-
nous Loss of Life-Fifty-Eight
Badly Injured.
San Francjsco.-Three dead and fif'
ty-eight injured, mostly of suffocation,
is the record of a fire that ragged upon
the United States transport Meade as
she lay at the Folsom street dock early
Thursday morning.
The dead:
Captain Charles Dakin of San
Francisco, fire engine company No. 4;
fell unconscious into the water of the
hold and was drowned. Leaves a wife
and son.
Hoseman Thomas Hennessey of en-
gine company No. 2; suffocated to
death while fighting the fire in the
hold. Leaves wife and three chill
dren.
Third Officer George Wallace of the
transport Meade; sufrocated while
climbing ladder from the hold and
fell back unconscious, dying short
time later. Was twenty-five years OF
age and a native of Sydney, New South
Wales.
The injured all suffered terribly
from suffocation.
For three hours after midnight the
forward hold of the big troopship was
roaring furnace from which firemen
were borne in an almost continuous
stream. Relays of men promptly
stepped forward to take the places OF
those who were carried out uncon-
scious.
Tons of high explosives were loaded
in the after part of the vessel and the
heroic fire laddies worked with the
possibility ever before them that the
flames would reach this compartment.
Had this occurred the whole city
would undoubtedly have been shaken
by terrific explosion. and 10 man
aboard the ship would have escaped.
Deeds of thrilling heroism marked
the fire. Sailing Master George VIII
son of the Meade fell down hatch
way and lay crippled and unconscious
with an injured shoulder.
Chief Officer Lassack and others OF
the crew threw themselves down into
the hold and managed to struggle back
out of the pit of death, bearing the
BODY OF tne master. WHO was poi hS "
a berth out of reach of the flames and
there attended to. Lassack was nm
self attended to and was rescued from
death by Joseph Cook of Truck No. l,
and an unknown man. both OF whom
took their lives in their hands.
The fore part of the ship, where the
fire broke out, contained the personal
effects of the officers of the Second in
fantry. late from Fort Logan, Colorado,
and of the Eighth and Thirteenth bat
teries of light artillery, and the loss
of property was confined to this part
of the vessel.
Eighty-five thousand dollars in gold,
being carried as military treasure to
Manila, was rescued from the ship and
guarded by soldiers. Lines OF soldiers
also guarded the entranceSo dhe dock.
Captain Dakin lost his life because
of his unflinching resolution anu
dauntless courage in fighting the IRE.
The body was found at the foot OF a
ladder and carried out.

the O. s. L. at 81, S97, $50; on the
O. X. & N, s2,627, 156. Thus, as
will be noted, the o. s. J.. received
for passenger fares s27O,43O more
than the 0. r. & N. Their mile
age being the same within two
miles and the through passenger
traffic identical, the difference in
passenger earnings is accounted for
by the difference between the fare
per mile on the two roads-three
cents in one case and four and five
in the other; therefore the passes
given the chief executive Of Idaho
and the members OF the Idaho leg
islature are an expensive luxury to
those who must pay or walk. The
foregoing figures, which were taken
from the official report Of 1904, do
not represent the cost for 1905,
which was much greater, as the
entire gross earnings Of the Oregon
Short Line for 1904 was $11 $780,
504, while for 1905 the gross was
S13, 01O, 451, an increase OF 81, 3d.
947. Nor does the excessive passen-
ger fares on the o. s. L. represent
the entire cost Of passes on that
road, as the excess in freight rates
is even more. Not less than half
a million dollars is collected an
nually by the o. S. L. from the
people of South Idaho in passenger
fares and freight in excess OF what
they would be required to pay if
the same prices were charged as
in Oregon and Washington; and
yet the gentleman who signs him
self "Citizen" asks us to "explain
how the public is damaged because
a few ride on passes" How long
will your people stand like mutton
sheep, awaiting the butchers knife?
