ANTHRAX MAY KILL HIM,
Scientist Accidentally Inocuates Him
self with Deadly Poison.

Scientist Accidentally Inoculates Him
self with Deadly Poison.
New Orleans, Feb. Whether or
not Professor Thomas E. Byer, of Tu-
lane university, will die of anthrax,
one Of the worst diseases known to med
ical science, during the next ten days,
az the result of accidental sef.inocula-
tion with tie germs of the disease, is a
question the answer of which Professor
Byer and scientists in the city are
waiting with anxiety. The disease is
human and is almost invariably fatal to
the lower animals.
Professor Byer was working before
his class in science and was inoculating
a live rabbit with the germs. AS soon
as the rabbit felt the prick of the
needle it gave lunge and the needle,
instead Of being thrust into the ear of
the rabbit, was driven into the pro-
fessor's finger. DR.. Byer sought adj
vice from a number of local bacterioIo-
gists. They will have to wait ten days
before it is determined whether or not
the deadly germs have been killed by
antiseptcs. The germs attack the
glands of the throat, causing them to
swell and resulting in death within
short time.

SIX ARE DEAD,
Disastrous Early Morning Water Front
Fire at Portland.

| 0'S"S" Jus Ca'v WoTHInB water FROM
| Fire at Portland.
Portland, Feb. 12.-Fire broke out
this morning at 3 AS near the corner OF
East Water and East Morrison streets,
and burned with great rapidity. The
buildings are built on pilings, and the
draft carried the flames under the road
way of Morrision street, burning the
approach to the Morrison street bridge,
and the frame structures on both sides
OF the roadway were soon ablaze.
On the north side of Morrison street
is the wood yard of c. R. Davis & Co. !;
M. j. Murphy, plumber; the Mount
Hood saloon; small photograph gal
lery and the East Portland Fence
works. On the south side of Morrison
street are two or three small structures
used as candy stores and restaurant.
Boats along the water front were
quickly moved out into the river and
out of danger.
The wind, what little there was, was
from the northeast, and the sparks and
bits of burning wood were carried over
to the west side OF the river, making
beautiful sight in the moonlight.
The freboat is moored within two
blocks of the place where the fire
started, but the flames had already at
tanned such headway before an alarm
was turned in that they could not be
stayed.
The big agricultural implement ware
house district is within block of the
burned buildings, but the gentle win6
blowing carried all the sparks out into
the river and away from the big frame
buildings.
The second story of the building in
which the Mount Hood saloon is To-
Gated is occupied as tenement house.
Lodgers were driven from their rooms
in their night clothes and had very
narrow escapes.
L. Daily, a man of about so years of
age, was taken to the hospital very
badly burned. Daily is in great an
guish as he is afraid that his wife and |
two children perished in the flames
He says he was wakened out of sleep by |
the. flames licking at his face and by
the greatest effort escaped with his
life.
Six bodies have been taken from the
ruins OF the lodging house. Four are
men and two are women. Several per-
sons are missing and nearly dozen are
in the various hospitals of the city with
more or less serious injuries. Two fire.
men were overcome by smoke while
rousing the sleeping inmates of the
odging house, but were quickly rescued
)y their comrades.
Assistant Chief Lundenkloss says he
8 afraid there are number of other
'ictims in the bers, probably chill
lren.
BY 4:30 the flames were under con-
rol. Davis woodward buildings are
,adly damaged. There is great hole
n the Morrison street bridge approach.
III the buildings on the west side of
Water street on the two corners are de-
troyed.

Will Be Converted to Suit Terms Of
Next Yacht Race.
New York, Feb. 10. - In discussing
the possibilities OF challenge for the
Americas cup from Sir Thomas Upton
or any foreign source and the probable
course of the New York Yacht club, on
receipt of such a challenge, says to-
days Times, the astonishing statement
was made by prominent member of
the New York club yesterday that the
Reliance would be used in all proba-
bility as the defender OF the cup, even
though the challenge called for race
with schooners. as has been suggested,
and that to meet these conditions she
would be converted, as it is perfectly
practical suggestion and meets Sir
Thomas and any other challenges at
every point.
If 70-foot sloop, as suggested by
Sir Tnomae, is named as the chal-
ienger, the challenge will be accepted
ard the Reliance will be used as the
challenge boat, in spite of the big al
lowance she would have to give. If a
1l0-foot schooner is named the Reli-
ance will be converted and will be still
the defender. II a 90-foot soop is
named, it will. of course, he the Reli-
ance which will cross the lire as the
defender of Americas priceless trophy.
Under old rules or under new, the Re-
lance is looked upon as capable OF
successfully defending the cup and will
remain the clubs Reliance.

SEA LEVEL
Canal is Favored by General
Davis Before the
Committee

Washington, March 30.-General
George W. Davis, formerly of the 18TH
milan canal commission and governor
of the canal zone and later chairman
Of the board of consulting engineers,
appeared before the senate committee
ON interoceanic canals in support Of
the majority report recommending the
construction of a sea level canal
General Davis declared that INSULT
cient weight had been given to some of
the difficulties in constructing the lock
canal and too great weight to some of
the alleged obstacles in the way OF
building the canal on a sea level
Commenting On the alleged dangers
of big ships passing each other the
witness said that the sea level plan
provided for every ship likely to be
built in the next twenty years and
there was no point where the ships
likely to pass through the canal could
not meet in perfect safety, When the
need for a wider canal arises, said
General Davis, this country would be
ready to enlarge the canal, which, he
thought, could be done easily He
illustrated his statement with group
of designs showing the largest ships
af1oat in the proposed canal.

LCp,,,u DEBATE AHEAD
Senate Not Expected to Vote on Rate Regulation Bill for
Several Weeks Important Amendment Must
Be Considered Before Vote Is Reached

Washington, March 30.-An early
vote in the senate on the railroad rate
bill is not among the probabilities, &C
carding to statement made to the
president by senators. Among those
who discussed the subject with him
were Senators Cullom and Dillingham;,
the former member of the interstate
commerce committee. - ...:.
Senator Cullom said he did not think
vote could be reached under three
weeks and perhaps not SO early even
as that Senator Dillingham; said that
a number of important amendments
would have to be considered before a
vote could be agreed upon. The amend
ments, he thought, were of a kind that
could not be disposed of quickly.

paper basket They must be given
careful consideration and that will
take time"

MYSTERY NOT SOLVED
Arrest Of Bugarians at Duluth Throws No Light on Min
neapoIis Murders. Declare Victims We're
Alive and Well When Suspects Left

Duluth, March 3o.-The mystery
surrounding the six evewsome: muir
ders which horrihed the citizens of
Minneapolis Wednesday was only
deepened during the morning by the
arrest here of eleven Dulgarians who
were residents of the house at 243
Tenth avenue south, where the crime
was committed.
Cross-questioned individually five of
the eleven prisoners tell the same
story and maintain their innocence of
any completely in the crime and even
their ignorance of it until they were
enlightened by the police. If their
story is true the Minneapolis police
have struck the wrong trail and it
skaters all theories of the murders
which have hitherto been held and
leaves the police absolutely at. sea
for even a theory for the motive for
the crime and the identity of the GRIM
inals. The facts as told by Kuzman
Siekuloff, the leader of the band, are
these:
Game From Northern Turkey.
For the last year or more there has
been a band of Bulgarians from the
province of Presbad, in the northern
part of Turkey, working in the woods
and camps of Northern Minnesota.
The members of this band were all
of I,n
and were headed by Siekuloff, who
acted in the capacity of padrone or
leader. He was the only member of
the band who could speak English,
having been in this country about five
years, and he provided work for his
followers, hiring them out to work in
the mines, on the railroads and in
the logging camps. During the winter
the members of this band have been
working near the village of Alborn, in
this county. About four months ago
Siekuloff rented the house at 243
Tenth avenue south, Minneapolis, plan
ming to bring some other of his coun-
trymen over to America. The party
included his bride, Uloka Nardova,
whom he had married about a year
ago while on visit to his old home.
Petros Stojer, a middle aged man
and member Of Siekuloff's band, was
left in charge of the house about two
months ago and since that time he has
been keeping bachelors hall there,
getting his own meals and keeping the
house in readiness for the other mem
bers of the party. x.-...
