READY FOR DUTY
Adiutant General AinsWorth Says That 110,995 Males Are
 Now Available For War
MORE > UNORGANIZED

Washington, Oct. 1.-Of interest to the. friends of the national guard throughout the country is the annual report of Adjutant General Aims worth, dealing with the militia. The strength of the organized militia at the end of the last calendar year as reported by the state adjutant gen erals is placed at 110,995, out of a total of 13,S21,696 males available for military duty but unorganized. But the reports of the United States inspecting officers places the total or ganized militia at 105, ,213.
 The actual deficiencies in arms, uniforms and equipments are much less than in previous years. The re- ports of nearly all of the army off, cers who inspected the state militia organizations unite in demand for better armories. The report showed little improvement in regard to tar get practice.
 Summing up the reports of the in- specting officers, the adjutant gener- al says:
 ''It is estimated that about 75 per cent of the members of the militia would respond to call for troops to repel invasion or to suppress insur- rection against the authority of the government"

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD.
Afternoon Session at Which Consider
 able Business Was Disposed Of.

The board of public works met this afternoon, Mayor Thoms presiding and all the members being present
 Peter F. Coughlan was heard re- garding surface water on South View street. It comes in off the highway and unless cared for it is likely to do considerable damage. In fact it has already made trouble. The street department will look after it before the winter sets in.
 Superintendent Kilduff was in structed to make some repairs on lower Sylvan avenue. The applica- tion of the Y. M. c. A. for exemption on a sewer assessment and the mat ter of expense for widening and deep ening the channel of Little brook from the property of William Brooks southerly was referred to the engin- eer for an estimate of the cost. Prop erty owners on Keefe street between Baldwin street and Sylvan avenue, Fox and Chambers street will be heard two weeks from to-day, the former regarding grade and layout and the others on change of grade. The board asked the department of safety to see what 1t can do towards helping out with funds to enable the engineering department to determine how wide all sidewalks are so that the police may know when people are on private property and when they are encroaching upon the public. Un- der existing conditions it Is out of the question to tell this in streets where buildings do not project out to the street line.
 Mayor Thoms called attention to the grade of Eward street and stated that this matter had been hanging fire for long time and he wished to see it taken up and disposed of in a way which would best meet the wish es of the people. This includes changes on Alder street, both of which will be pushed to completion as soon as possible. Several petitions for new work were referred to the different committees.

LEG BLOWN OFF
Former Sheriff Brown on His Way Home Was Injured By
 Dynamite Explosion.
LIKE STEUNENBERG

Baker City, Ore, Oct l-An at- tempt was made last night to assass- mate former Sheriff Harvey K. Brown at his home here by blowing him up with dynamite bomb. MT Brown is at a hospital in critical condi- ton. One of his legs was blown off and an arm badly mutilated and in- ternal injuries, were caused by the concussion. The outrage was similar in manner of execution to that which resulted in the death of former Gov Frank Steunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho. ..
 Mir Brown was returning home and as he opened his gate the bomb eX- ploded, wounding MT Brown lnd blowing in the windows of his house.
 The authorities are unable to find any cause for the deed Mrs Brown was prostrated by the shock and may not recover.

FAMILIES BURNED OUT.
Big Fire in New York Drove Out
 Many People.


 New York, Oct Lone woman was seriously injured and the lives of sev- eral hundred other passengers were endangered by a fire which early to- day gutted the three upper floors of six story tenement house at 76 East Third street. The thirty fam lilies which were crowded in the build ing were awakened from their slum- bers by cries of fire. Terror stricken men and women started down the stairs from the upper fioors. Flames in the hallway of the third floor drove them back. They gropea their way through the halls, fighting with each other in their anxiety to get to the fire escapes, which they realized were their only means of escape. Soon the fire escapes were crowded with men, women and children. During the excitement Rebecca Stein was pushed from the ladders and fell to the pavement. She was seriously hurt. When the firemen arrived they carried many women and children down ladders to safety. The fire, destroyed the threee upper floors and after, a stubborn. fight was subdued. The loss was. about $5,000. It is the opinion of the firemen that the fire was of incendiary origin.

LOOKING FOR FIGHT
Japan StrainiRg Every Resource 10 Prepare For War, Admiral
 CoghIan Says.

New York, Oct. 1.-"Washington is we'll aware that Japan is straining ev- cry resource in preparation for war de- spite the protestations of friendship we hear from certain sources. The plan to mobilizefa a great fleet in Pacific waters is the most strategic move for peace which could possibly have been taken and shows the necessity for more ships. To duplicate the United States navy would cost far less than to maintain six months war with Japan or any formidable foreign pow CT. ..
 "An appropriation of $150O0O,OOO would build and equip twenty modern battleships and give us, the greatest navy in the world, sea fighting strength that would preclude all possi- bility of menace to the commerce or the land possessions of the country"
 Rear Admiral Joseph Bullock Cogh- Ian, recently retired after more than forty-six years of active service, thus sounded note of warning in an inter- view, according to a story published by the New York American, at the Army and Navy club.

THOMS NOT IN IT
Prosecutor Meigs Says He Had Nothing 10 Do With HeIImann
 Case.

Prosecuting Attorney c. E. Meigs was asked to-day, as he was asked yesterday if he cared to say any, thing regarding the sensational ar- ticle in the Herald of last Sunday which involved Mayor Thoms in the city court as counsel for Edward L., Hellmann, when the latter was charged with keeping disorderlyl house. After some hesitation MrI Meigs said that so far as he knew Mayor Thoms never appeared or act-I ed for MT Hellmann in any matters in the city court.
 "I do not know why Mayor Thoms put it up to me and Superintendent Beach of the police to vouch for what he said. I assume he spoke truth fully when he said he never acted as; counsel for MT Hellmann. I only! know that in the city court he was never counsel for MT Hellmann. The counsel on record in that case ini which MT Hellmann was concernedj was Attorney James E. Russell. T never had any knowledge of Mayor1 Thoms being in the case"
 Attorney Russell, without being in- formed that Attorney Meigs had i made statement on the matter, wasi asked if he was counsel for MT Hell-' mann, and he said he was He was. asked if he had settled the case andt he declined to make any furthers statement because, he said, it is not 1 a lawyers place to disclose the busi- ness of his client The statements that Mayor Thoms appeared for Mr1 Hellmann in that case is ridiculous. 1 It is known to all the city court re- porters that MT Hellmann's counsel ins that case was MT Russell It was Mrj Russell who appeared in court for1 him and discussed the proposition of settling the case with Prosecutor Meigs. All of the city court reporters, < as well as those who usually hang around the city court mornings are we'll aware of this.
