HORSE FELL FROM BRIDGE.
Animal Came Tearing Through East
 Main Street Early This Morning.

A horse which no one seems to know anything about was killed last evening by falling over the bridge which spans the railroad tracks On Silver street near the Rogers Bros factory. It was about 1 o'clock this morning when the animal 'came tear ing in East Main street and on to Silver, continuing it's mad course down the steep incline. On silver street near the factory there IS a bridge which crosses the Mad river and a short distance away is another one, a goodly number of feet above the ground. In some manner the horse fell over this and was killed almost instantly, its neck being brok- en by the fall. The horse is said to have been owned by a bottler who lives near Harper's Ferry in the east ern section of the city. Although the matter was reported to the police they did not find out who the per sons were in the turnout at the time the horse started on Its dash. The animal was a valuable one.

ANARCHISTS IN PORTLAND

Sealaszkiwcz states that there are about eighty anarchists in the city, and that they hold regular meetings at places northeast of Port land.

The contractor who mas charge of the work is J. J. O'Brien or New York, who has done the work or double tracking the Naugatuck al. vision.

DISHONEST MORTAR
 CAUSED BIC LOSS Japanese Architect Says Sea Sand Was Used to Make Mortar For
 San Francisco Buildings
STRUCTURES POORLY BUILT
Easy He Says to Design a Build ing That Will Be Earthquake
 Proof.

San Francisco, June 19.-"Dishon- est mortar, a corrupt conglomeration of sea sand and lime, was responsible for nearly all of the earthquake dam- age in San Francisco" says Dr T. kakamura, professor of architecture of the Imperial University of Tokio, and one of the most distinguished members of the committee dispatched to this city by the Japanese govern ment to investigate the effects of trembler and fire. After investiga- tions covering period of several weeks, Dr Nakamura has completed his labors and will sail on the Korea to report his conclusions to his gov ernment.
 T find" said Dr Nakamura yester- day, that much of the damage to San Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction, and the greater portion of the damage to the class A build ings by fire was the result of mis- guided use of hollow tiling and so- called fire blocks instead of concrete. It is an easy matter, have found, to design building that will be not only earthquake proof but practically fireproof.
 There has developed as result of the earthquake in San Francisco great prejudice against brick build ings. However, they are largely em- nlOyed in Tanan wharp earthuuak kos of greater severity than the one ex- perienced in this city are not un- common. The secret of their sue cess, however, lies in the fact that good mortar is used. The mortar should either be composed of one part cement, to two parts of sand or of one part cement, three of lime and five of sand. The bricks should be thoroughly wet before being laid. and when the mortar has set under these conditions a wall becomes practically one stone"

Secretary Taft's visit to Cuba
is significant Of some decisive
action on the part of the Presi-
A peculiar feature Of the
whole affair is that Taft is going
to the rescue of hostilities not
as a representative Of the United
States government but as q
special envoy of the chief exec
utive. His reports will come
not to Washington as is the
usual custom but to Oyster Bay.
Roosevelt's word will be his
guide. Certainly the mission
of Taft is a peculiar and some
what embarrassing one. Yet it
is a wise stroke of diplomacy on
the part Of the president.
IN case OF q COnClQuauCo OI
hostilities our intervention
would seem inevitable. Taft's
mission is, then, atwo-fold one,
First to avoid ifpossible further
strife; secondly to be able to de-
eide on a definite stand for the
administration in case of con-
tinued war. He will act as the
peace maker and in case this is
of no avail he can advise the
intervention or non-interven-
ton of our government.
