NOTED PIANIST ACTS QUEER.
Mrs. BIoomfield.Ze;sler Missing for
EIGHT Hours,

Chicago. Feb. 14.-For nearly eight
hours yesterday Mrs. Fannie Bloom
field-Zeisler, the world famous pianist,
was missing fro mher home. and her
friends and relatives together with
the police, were securing the South
side of the city for her During the
afternoon Mrs. Zeisler returned to her
home alone utterly exhausted. She
declined to say where she had been
or what she had been doing.
For some time Mrs. Zeisler has
been greatly troubled with her eyes,
which have failed steadily, and the
fear OF being compelled to abandon
her musical work had so preyed upon
her mind that she had become, at
times, subject to periods of melan-
cholia.
Yesterday mornings she eluded her
attendants and left the house alone.
She was missed within few minutes
and her husband hurried after her.
She disappeared, however, and no
trace OF her was found until she re-
turned. Mr.. Zeisler said last night:
Mrs. Zeisler was very nervous
when she returned, being on the verge
Of collapse. She would not talk
about her absence, and when asked
her where she had been, she would
only say, walking She was assisted
to her room and Immediately went to
sleep. AS soon as practicable she
will be taken to a sanitarium for rest
and treatment

GIVES LIFE TO SAVE HORSES
WATcHMAN DIES DEATH OF
HERO - THE PROPERTY
LOSS rs $4,000.

Portland, Or. Feb IA. - Four per-
sons arc dead, eleven persons serious
ly and some possibly fatally injured,
and property worth $4,000 destroyed,

had made several trips into transfer

time"
Then he fell back into the flames.
Ira Cooper, proprietor of lodging
house, is reported missing, and it
may be that ono of the unidentified
bodies now in the morgue is his.
Heroic Work Of Firemen.
That The loss OF life was not much
greater was due to the work of the
firemeh, who rescued many persons
from precarious positions.
The district burned is partly built
over a sink, and as the planlling along
the sidewalks burned, the position OF
the firemen became precarious. In
endeavoring 10 save some OF the loSg-
ers from the looming house over the
Mount Hood saloon two firemen were
overcome by smoke ard were saved
from death by their comrades.
The fire started in the Mount Hood
saloon and consumed that place and
the lodging house above it, in which
a majority of those killed and injured
were sleeping. Twenty-one horses,
property OF the East Side Transfer
company, we're burned.

PUBLIC MONEY THROWN AWAY
d
MILLIONS SPENT FOR GOODS AT.
TERwARD SOLD At
BIG LOSS.

Chicago, Feb. IA. - A Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says:
Chairman Hull of the house conf
mittee on military affairs is seeking
means to. arrest the extravaganza and
wanton waste of public money by the
army through the sale of condemned
supplies.
The fact has come to light that
since 1898 there have been condemned
more than 2O0,0OO,O00 articles, which
cost $36,6G7 GOA. Subsequent and in
dependent inspection has been re-
sponsible for the retention in service
Of articles. the original value of which
was almost $7,000,O00.
Figures Are Astounding.
These figures arc so astounding that
members of the two military commit
tees of congress find difficulty in UNI
derstanding the facile explanations Of
fered by army officers. Some excuse
exists in the fact that the United
States was at war with Spain, partici-
pated in military expedition in
China and suppressed an instruction
in the Philippines, and war has waste
as its natural companion.
But since the Philippine insurrec-
tion was crushed the condemnation OF
supplies has continued to an astOnish-
ing degree.
Extravaganza Known.
What members of congress who
have to authorize appropriations TO-:
the army criticize is the extravaganza
which is known to exist, and which
they find themselves almost power
less to arrest, in the purchase of arti-
cles of subsistence and wearing ap-
parel, etc.
For instance, the army serving in
the Philippines is supplied, among
other stores. with various mineral
waters, including Apollinaris, ginger
ale, Shasta and Teplitz. During 1908
III, 4S5 bottles of these waters We're
condemned, and during 1904 a total
of 113,7S7 bottles were found defec-
tive.
ApoiIinaris Spells.
Reports OF auction sales show that
a bottle of Apoll,naris which cost the
government II cents was sold for 2
cents, and ginger ale, which cost Z
cents a bottle. was sold for 1 cent.
How Apollinaris, ginger ale, etc, can
spoil after Il few months, even in the
Philippines, is more than congress
can understand.
Practically the same situation ex-
lists in thirty-three other articles.
The COMBINATIONS.
The following table has been pre-
pared showing the total condemna-
lions since 1898:
1898 -. 81. 706, ooo|19Q2 -. SIS ,o7s,e 7e
1899 -. 2,733.6S6!l9os 49,. 3,4os,351

Because of information they have
received showing the extravaganza in
army expenditures, members Of con-
gress are scrutinizing with jealous
care every bill regarding the service.
