FIND BOAT AND
CREW IN ICEBERG
BY Associated Press.


VICTORIA, B. c., May 23.-The
steamer Teucer, the new liner of the
Blue Funnel line from Yokahama, this
morning brought news of the finding of
the missing blockade runner Soerabaya,
completely encased in ice on the North
Siberian coast near Nicolaievsky, with
the corpses of part of her crew frozen
on board.
The steamer was in the employ Of
the Russian government taking a
cargo Of arms and ammunition to
Vladivostok, and being unable to reach
the port because of the Japanese
blockade she took refuge in the Arctic
off North Siberia, where she was frozen
in the ice.
Nothing was known of her after she
went into the Arctic until she was
found with her frozen crew. The
steamer Erna was sent to search for
her last November but failed to find
her. The steamer was discovered by
Siberian natives. 1t is believed that If
the vessel is not crushed by the break
up Of the ice she may be saved.

Low "THE LINE"
Well Established Refuge Maintained
at Tia Juana--MongoIians Await
Chance to Enter Cali
fornia

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, May pa story which
comes from the other side of the line
at Tia Juana gives phase of the Chi
nese smuggling business which, while
not entirely new to the immigration
authorities, confirms the reports that
have hitherto come their way.
They have known of the existence
of some sort of refuge in Tia Juana
where the Mongolians are kept in hid
ing until able to make a sneak across
the line. The story is told by Harry
Mansur and well-known cattleman
below the line, who were last evening
taking a stroll after supper near the
Hotel National.
They were stopped by two armed
MeXicanS and ordered to turn back,
as they were not wanted prying into
the business of the two men behind
the guns.
AS Mansur and his friend were un-
armed and were not intending to spy
into the business of the other two,
they obeyed Instructions and turned
back to their own stopping place for
the night.
While it is believed that Mansur
knows who his assailants were, he will
give no names. He is confident that
the men were connected with the Chi
nese smuggling operations, that they
were getting ready to start bunch
across the line and thought that the
two strollers were spies of the Ameri''
can authorities.
No complaint has been made to the
Mexican officials, but the immigration
authorities on this side have been in
formed.

InCinerator Ruined
With Damages of
About $4,000
WOrkmen Risk Lives to
Save the COmpany's
Property
Chief Engineer Allen Seeking VaIu-
able Papers Narrowly Misses Be-
ing Buried Under Fall
Ing Wall

Los Angeles city incinerator was rem
dered heap of ruins by fire late last
night.
The flames destroyed all but the ZOO
foot smokestack and furnaces of the
incinerator which is on Mcpherson
street, east of Santa Fe avenue.
1t is estimated that the loss will be
about $4,000.
Heat from the cremators on the first
floor ignited the wooden joist three
feet above.
Before the fire department could ar
rive on the scene the building was q
mass of flames.
Fortunately the five employees of the
city who were on duty rushed from the
building and escaped injury.
Six weeks ago the incinerator caught
fire in the same manner. The heat from
the crematorS charred the woodwork
above and when least expected the fire
broke out.
Fortunately the first fire was ex-
tinguished with little damage to the
building
hief Engineers Escape
G. Allen, the chief engineer in charge
OF the plant. was not on duty at the
time of the outbreak, but arrived at the
scene of the fire at II o'clock, a few
minutes after the fire department was
notified.
In an attempt to save some papers.
Allen rushed into the building. Find
ing that he could not reach his valu-
ables he made his way out
Just as Allen reached the doorway the
thin wall fell and narrowly missed him.
He made his way over the white-hot
bricks and was assisted to safety by the
firemen
r. Grigsby. chief fireman, risked his
life in attempting to save the building
When the fire burst forth it came like
an explosion.
CIings to Telephone
Grigsby rushed to the telephone and
called the fire department. After noti-
flying them he made his way out of the
burning building to safety.
The cost of the building and ma.
chinery was $70,S64.
Completed in january
The incinerator was completed jan
uary and was put in operation soon
afterward. 1t was a frame structure
veneered with a brick wall only four
inches thick. The wood used on the in
side of the building made it as easy to
ignite as a box of tinder.
Interviews with several employees and
Assistant Chief O'Donnell of the fire
department indicate that the structure
was reared in faulty manner in re-
spect to safety against fire.
The building is totally destroyed and
the machinery is supposed to be seri-
ously damaged.
Some OF the estimates as to damage
were as high as $60,000.

running an enormous stream and thou
sands of acres of rich agricultural
land around Buena Vista lake and
Goose lake slough is under two feet

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Live stock
interests throughout the west not to
cago, are greatly exercised over the
legged unsanitary conditions at the stock
yards are to be laid before congress.
The publication of the presidents in
tention to transmit to the senate and
house the results of an investigation
recently conducted by Labor Commits
sioner Nell and j. B. Reynolds, eX-
pected to be sensational, brought a
delegation Of stockmen to Washington,
while influential representatives of the
stock industry who were unable to
come in person have sent kilograms.
Muck Raking Affects Market
1t is contended that recent muck
raking has seriously affected the
market for American meat products
both abroad and at home, and it seems
to be assumed that the president has
taken a stand against the packing in
dustry which will be an added blow.
The stock raisers, through their repre-
sentatives, declare they will suffer
much more than the packers.
Suggestions from Republican sources
in congress have been made to the
effect that the Democrats are likely to
go to the farmers in the coming cam
paign with the cry that President
Roosevelt is systematically attacking
their revenues from the rasing of live
stock by fighting the packers on lines
that have nothing to do with the evils
of trusts or combinations.
