Dangers of a Cold and How to Avoid
Them.

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from a cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make
people more careful at there is no dan
ger whatever from a cold when 1t is
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough Re-
NEEDY has been recognized as the most
prompt and etfectual medicine in use
for this disease. 1t acts on natures
plans loosens the cough, relieves the
lungs, opens the secretions and aids ma
ture IN restoring the system to a healthy
condition. Sold by n. E. McGruer,

BOTH PARTIES "UNALTERABLY
OPPOSED TO JOINTURE''

Bisbee, Ariz., Sept. 6.-As result Of
the conventions held here today Sy
both the democrats and republican
parties of Arizona, Mark Smith, Of
Tucson, was named as democratic can
didate for congress and w c. Cooper,
of Globe, named as republican candi-
date. Both parties adopted resolu-
tions against joint statehood in iden-
tical language as follows:
I'VE are unalterably opposed t.
Joint statehood between Arizona and
New Mexico and would prefer to re-
main a territory forever than to have
joint statehood with New Mexico"
The platform of the democratic
convention thanked the democrats in
congress and the republicans who
joined with them i'm giving the terri
tory right to vote yes" or mo" on
the question of joint statehood; eul1-
gized Mark Smith, delegate in con
gress, for his great work in preserving
the autonomy of Arizona, and declar-
ed in favor Of equal taxation of all
property in the territory.
The republican platform endorsed
the national administration and the
territorial administration of Governor
Kibbey and In addition to rcsolu-
ton against joint statehood declared
for equitable taxation Of all property
of the territory.

MURDER OF GREEKS
Is DAILY OCCURRENCE

Vienna, Sept 6.--The murder Dt
Greeks In Bulgaria and the destruction
of their property is bringing about a
dangerous complication in the Near
East.
Race hate, as between Slavs and
Greeks. and religious hate, as between
the Bulgarian and Greek churches.
have become intensified by the present
outrages. and preparations are being
made for reprlsals on large scale.
Macedonia will again be the field Of
action, for 1t is there that the rival
factions can freely make war. AZ
ready 200 people a month are being
murdered by the bands and property
is being destroyed wholesale. This IN
spite of the supervision of the powers,
leading Bulgarian comitadji. who
Is now In Vienna, says that plans
are being made to carry the war moro
actively into the Greek camp. 1t Is
known that Greek bands are crossing
the frontier In large numbers. They
are we'll armed and well supplied with
funds. The Bulgarlans are not so well
off. They are short of money and are
sending agents to their countrymen &C
make an appeal for help.
Meanwhile the Turks are interested
onlookers. They regard their duty no;
so much to prevent disorders as to al
low the bands to destroy each othe:
They occasionally destroy a small bani
themselves. and 1t is noteworthy that
In these Encounters the band is almosI
Invariably Bulgarian and not Greek.
There is every probability that the
powers will be compelled to take dras-
tic measures to put an end to the prl-
vailing anarchy.

There will be a grand rally of all the

The two territorial conventions ad-
journed tonight at 10 o'clock to meet

Joint statehood. In the democrats
convention two counties participated
with but half delegation, while IN
the republican convention there wcce
less than a dozen delegates who favor

Two contests were decided against

Business Men of Havana Say
the Trouble Will Never Be
Satisfactorily Settled Until
Uncle Sam InterveneS,
LIBERALS STILL HOPE
TO GUST PALMA
General Suspension of Military.
Activity Continues but There
Are No Signs of a Settle
nent,

Havana, Sept. 6.-While the pea e
projects have caused general sus-
pension of revolutionary operations.
no appreciable progress toward any
thing like satisfactory understand
ing has been made. The liberal lead
ers insist that it is unjust to regard
them as insurgents, and assert thai
they are merely seeking peace. But
they declare that not only must the
terms be better than heretofore talk
ed Of but that there must be some
guaranty that the conditions will be
carried out.
General Mencal was busy through
out today holding conferences. He said
tonight he has no reason to be disa1.
pointed with the progress of the nego-
tiations and that the semi-official sus-
pension of hostilities which began to-
day in Santa Clara and Havana prov
inces would be extended tomorrow t.
Pinar Del Rio giving the veterans a
chance to push negotiations for peace.
The demands that come from the
insurgents include the restoration of
deserters from the rural guards to
their former positions, the relnstate-
ment of liberals who last year wefe
deposed from municipal offices, the
retention of arms by the insurgents
and other equally radical propositions.
The liberals have not reinquished the
hope that they be able to force the re-
slgnation Of President Palma and all
high government officials. The sue
cession of Vice President Mendez Ca
pote to the presidency is also discuss
ed. The liberals seem to think they
could reach an understanding with
him.
There Is nothing to indicate that
Mendez Capote is party to this pro-
iect.
Many business men of Havana rldi-
cule what they call a patched uo
peace" which they allege can be only
temporary Some go so far as to as
sert that the country never can be
governed rightly or investments be
absolutely safeguarded unless the Uni
ted States intervenes This is frankly
stated in some cases also by high gov
ernment officials.

Special to the Morning Journal

Special to the Morning Journal
Needles, Cal, Sept. 6.-The worst
disaster this town has known for many
years occurred early this morning.
when the Harvey eating house and
Santa Fe depot, frame structures,
were destroyed by fire which origl-
mated in the kitchen of the eatiUS
house and spread with such rapidly
that three trainmen and one waitress
were unable to get out. Two of the
trainmen, Conductors King and Hawcs
were rescued, but both were terribly
burned and may die Conductor F.
NJ. Carter, of Winsow, was burned tn
death as was Priscilla Bastian, a wat
ress. \ curious feature of the death
of Carter is that he had but just come
in from hisrun and could have been In
his room but few minutes when the
fire broke out. Whether he fell into
an instant and heavy sleep or whether
he was confused by the smoke. Will
never be known.
Both the eating house and station
are entirely in ruins, and the Harvey
service here is demoralized. Needles
is now one of the important eating
stations and material and supplies arc
being rushed here for the erection Of
a temporary eating house Thele
seems no doubt that the fire original ID
in the kitchen 1t spread with amaz-
Ing rapidity, eating through the dry
frame structures like paper.
The loss cannot be accurately esli-
mated at this time, but may run as
high as $4,000

Commissioner Berkey Says
Trust Company Filed False
Reports With the State
Banking Department,
COLLAPSED CONCERN
MAY REOPEN SOON
Special Bank Examiners Now
Hard at Work to Fix Re
SponSibiIity for the Wreck
ing of Institution,

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.--To determine
the responsibility of the directors of
the wrecked Real Estate Trust COM
pany, State Banking Commissioner
Berkey came here today and appoint
ed as special bank examiners, Charles
NJ, Vollum and Meyer Goldsmith, ex-
pert accountants, who. with the con-
sent of Receiver Earle, will begin to-
morrow a thorough examination of the
defunct concern.
Receiver Earle tonight, after a con-
ference with the officers Of the Trust
company. announced that he hopes to
reopen the bank soon, and that all
depositors will be protected. Earl
says the directors have responded to
his solicitations to reorganiZe the COM
pany, but did not state what amounts
they have guaranteed. In order to
accomplish the rehabilitation, the re-
ceiver says, the directors must meet
his effort in the same spirit as the di-
rectors.
The preliminary hearing of Adolph
Segal, the promoter: William f.
North, treasurer, and Marshall S,
Collingwood, assistant treasurer, took
place today. They were held in heavy
bail for trial.
When ii became known that Com
missioner Berkey had decided to in
terest himself in the affairs of the
bank there Immediately arose many
rumors concerning possible criminal
action against the directors. That the
reports were not unfounded was made
plain by Berkey. He stated that the
law gives the examiners the right to
interrogate under oath any director,
officer, or employe of the Trust com
pany or of any other company hold
ing assets of the defunct concern.
During the past years. Berkey declar-
ed, practically every director of the
company had certified to the reports
filed with the state banking depart
ment.
These reports, he said, appear to
have been false. II his examination
sustains this falsity, Berkey declared,
he would proceed against the direc-
tors.
Receiver Earles plan for the reor-
ganization of the defunct Real Estate
Trust company will be mailed to the
depositors tomorrow. 1t provides for
the re-opening of the bank by pay
ment of 30 per cent in cash to depos-
itors and 80 per cent in preferred
stock guaranteed by collateral bonds,
the remaining 40 per cent to be paid
within sixty days.
The directors of the Real Estate
Trust company are to raise the capital
necessary for this settlement

Vandalism In Church.

London, Sept. 6.--Another anti RI
ualism outrage has been committed at
the Church of St Matthias, Malvern
Link. which a few days ago was hrolI-
en- into. On that occasion fourteen
valuable pictures, vestments and Orna-
ments were destroyed.
The second outrage was committed
late Thursday night, All the remain
Ing ornaments were either destroyed
or defaced. A notice had been poste'i
up in the porch offering reward for
information with regard to the first
outrage, and this was torn down, and
another stating that the vicar was Il
wolf in sleeps clothing leading the
people to Rome" was substituted. The
notice also declared that vestmenis
and ornaments had no place in Pro-
testant church.
For years the use of vestments at
st. Matthias has been protested
against, and evidence with regard ID
them was given before the ritual COM
mission. Recently the Kensit preach

PASSENGERS ON TRAIN COULD
SEE HARVEY HOUSE RTRNIN(.

Some Idea OF the rnpidity win
which the Harvey house at Needla ~
burned yesterday morning, is gathered
from the statements of passengers on
the California Limited No. a. which
arrived from the west last night. This
train was running late and passed
through Needles a few minutes before
the fire broke out When the train
left there was no evidence of FIRE Yct
at the first stop out of Needles. six nc
seven miles people on the observation
car plainly saw the burning buildings,
there having been but ten or fifteen
minutes since they left the station, A
great column of smoke and flames
could be seen across the desert coun-
try FOR miles.
