VENTURA. Oct. 13.-William Warner
and his wife Kate of Los Angeles,
middle aged tried to commit suicide
last night at the Ojai inn, Nordhoff,
with morphine.
They had each taken an ounce of the
stuff, and only prompt Efforts saved
their lives.
Warner and his wife arrived at the
inn last night and retired at O'Clock
An hour later hotel attaches were
alarmed at the noise which the man
made in the room. He did not respond
to knocking, and the door was
broken in.
The woman was found lying on the
bed in a heavy slumber and the man
was struggling on the floor. There
were evidences of morphine poisoning.
1t took until daylight to arouse the
couple.
The woman is not yet out of danger
The man said first they had taken
chloral to produce sleep, but admitted
later that the drug was taken with
suicidal intent.
This was plainly the case, as a letter
had been left by them addressed to Ed
Anderson Of Los Angeles in their eff
fects.
Warner said in explaining whv they
had attempted to kill themselves that
his wife had been sick a long time and
that their money had all gone for medi-
cine. They were compelled to mort
gage their home, had lost that and had
come to the Ojai to die.

WASHINGTON. Oct BIN response
to inquiries regarding the status of in
vestigation into the affairs of the
STANDARD Oil company, with a view to
determining whether the company is
operating in violation to the Sherman

said that Messrs. Morris and Kellogg,
who were appointed to Investigate the
STANDARD Oil methods, had accumu-
lated vast amount of testimony bear
ing on the case.
This testimony was now being gone
over. and it was quite likely that a
definite conclusion would be reached
within the next few weeks as to
whether there had or had not been vio-
la tions of the ANTITRUST law.

KANSAS BRINGS ACTION
AGAINST HARVESTER TRUST

BY Associated Press
TOPEKA, .Kas., Oct 13.-In the dis
trict court of Shawnee county today
criminal proceedings were begun
against the international Harvester
company of America on fifty counts,
by the filing of papers by Fred s.
Jackson, assistant attorney general of
Kansas.
The charge is made in each count
that the defendant has entered into an
unlawful com bination with the Inter
national Harvester company of New
Jersey for the purpose of establishing
a monopoly in the trade of harvesting
and other agricultural implements in
Kansas.
All of the counts are based on the
exclusive contract feature of the con-
tracts issued to agents by the Interna-
tional company.
The suit is to recover penalties for
the violatipons of the law that have
already occurred and not as an custer
from the state. A conviction means a
fine of from 500 to $1,000 on each count

HONG KONG, Oct. 13.-The
British steamer Hankow, from
Canton, burned at $40 O'Clock
this (Sunday) morning while
lying alongside her wharf \
Hundreds of Chinese passen-
gers were burned to death and a
valuable cargo was destroyed.
All the European passengers
and crew were saved.
The steamer Hankow, with two
thousand Chinese passengers, men,
women and children, and seven
Europeans and cargo including
300 bales of mating, $50 bales of raw
silk and 1000 bales of waste silk, ar
rived from Canton at o'clock this
morning and was shortly afterward
moored at the wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire.
The captain directed the chief en-
gineer to turn on the water through
the fire hose
This was impossible for the reason
that five minutes after the alarm was
given the Hankow was ablaze fore and
aft.
AWakens Europeans
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed down
the gangway, the women in their
night clothes.
The crew was compelled to leave the
ship, which by this time was a veri-
ia BILE furnace.
The Chinese steerage passengers
were thrown into a frightful panic.
Horrifying shrieks and cries to save
their lives were heard. but escape was
impossible, owing to the infiammable
nature Of the cargo.
Hundreds were burned to death and
many others jumped into the harbor
and were drowned.
Responding to signals, the British
cruiser Flora and the naval dock yard
dispatched engines and assistance.
The land and floating brigades of
firemen made herculean efforts to ex-
Il1RulSl the names, WHICH ledPSu u d

Save Another Steamer

was berthed at the same wharf, was
towed out to save her from destruction.

distaTn was burned to the waters
edge.

A. Of OF
AIS a. m. Governor Nathan suggested
scuttling the ship, but this was found
to be impracticable.
The fire was brought under control
at a. M. at which time only the shell
and hull of the Hankow remained.
The gruesome work of recovering the
dead was then begun.
Find Seventy-fve corpses
The fire lighters have already recov-
cred seventy five corpses. Many OF
them were huddled together and only
singed while Others We're incinerated
beyond recognition.
OF the cargo, 200 bales of raw silk
were saved, but badly damaged by
water. The remainder was totally de-
stroyed,
There are many theories as to the
cOuse of the dre.
The first is that it was caused by
the oVerturning of the lantern Of a
Chinese boarding house runner, who
came aboard seeking customers,
The second Is that an opium smoker
accidentally set fire to Mating The
third Is that Ii was caused by the
crossing Of electric wires. A fourth
theory and one that Is considered the
most probable Is that the fire was in
cendiary and was an outgrowth Of a
boycott against the British river boats
