SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
ON CAPT. R. D. M|[LETT
Aged Salt Lake Capitalist at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore.

4 telegram from Thomas James at
Baltimore. Md, to George Rust, local
manager of Il. G.. Dun & Co, Monday
afternoon, gave the information that

the best-known men in this part Of the
country, who went East last Wednes-
day, submitted 10 a severe operation IN
John Hopkins hospital at Baltimore on
Monday, and is getting along well. This
news will be welcomed by Mr.. Mlllctt s
many friends in Salt Lake.
Mr.. Millett left for Baltimore on
Wednesday TO enter the hospital for
treatment and an operation for bladder
trouble. His illness was serious, and
there were grave fears on account of
his advanced age.
Captain Millett is widely known
throughout Utah, He is a retired CAPT
talist, living at G. and South Temple
streets. He is a big stockholdcr in the
Z. G. NJ T.. the Deseret National bank,
and the Consolidated Wagon and Ma
chine company. Captain Millett used
to be interested heavily in mining.
Curiously enough, Mr.. James, the au-
thor of the telegram telling of the op-
GRAFTON and Captain Millett's condition,
is an old friend of the captain. Years
ago they were schoolmates, and when
Captain MIllett was superintendent Of
the Homestake mine in the Black Hills

James is nephew of II. g. Dun.
Captain Millett has been in many
parts of the world. Years ago he rep

tain Millett S duties frequently took
him to Australia, South America and
South Africa, Further news Of his CON
dition will be awaited here with great
interest.

PITTSBURG. April 12.-While Miss

Love" at the, Grand opera house yes
terday afternoon, before a large and
fashionable audience, Robert Crow.
aged 90, arose in box, calmly loaded
his revolver and fired a bullet into his
side. The deed created a panic in the
crowded house.
Young Crow, who was a nephew of
President p. c. McEldowney Of the
Union Trust company and Of H. C..
Tricks bank. had been laboring I'M
der mental delusion for some time,
and the uncle tersely declared the deed
was the result of "Pittsburg paranoia.'
For several months Grow had been
morose, claiming that he should be able
to make vast sums of money in the
stock market. He declared he wanted
to make million in day.
Crow did not show any signs of
suicidal mania, however. until the be-
ginning of the Thaw trial. He was a
close personal friend of Harry Thaw,
and as soon as the trial started he be-
gan to study works on insanity. Two
months ago he wrote a letter to his
uncle. w. c. McEldOwney, in which he
said he was going to end his life. He
was hurried away to sanitarium, but
was released week ago. having shown
signs of improvement.

Woman With Babe In Her Arms

PORTLAND, April 12.-While hur-
rying through the freight sheds Of the
North Pacific Steamship company at
the foot of Seventeenth street last
night to bid goodbye to departing
friends on the steamer Roanoke, Mrs.
L. Gerdes and r. J. johnson walked
into the open and unprotected slip cut
into the floor Of the warehouse and
plunged 30 feet down to the icy wat
ers of the Willamette. Mrs. Gerdes
carried her 2-year-old boy in her arms
at the time.
The accident occurred about 8
o'clock. The slip through which the
persons fell lies in about the center

are only a few lanterns scattered
about the building, and it is next to
impossible for passengers to find their
way through the mud to the floor.

long. There is no guard rail surround
ing. nor protection Of any kind, and
last night not even a lantern was close
by Mrs. Gerdes and her companion
stepped into it without knowing in the
darkness that the great hole was in
front of them.
AS soon as the woman struck the
water. she grasped some floating lum-
Der with one arm and with the other
held her baby's head above the sur
face. Both she and Johnson called re-
peatedly for help and employees in the
warehouse hurried to their assistance.
R. P. Schroeder. a longshoreman, was
the first to arrive, and he plunged into
the slip to give his help.
A ladder was brought and lowered
and the helpless and nearly frozen peo-
pie were taken out. Take the baby
first" said Mrs. Gerdes, as a man slid
down the ladder to her side. Schroe-
der gave his assistance. and all three
were safely landed on the warehouse
floor above.

PORTLAND, April 12-George H.

which he has prepared as an interview
for the press, further outlines what his
position is and what it will be during
the campaign coming. He promises to
bring Heney and Burns to Portland in
the event of his election and delye with
them into civic unrighteousness and
fraud. This" he says. 'is no joke"
He also announces himself as favoring
promotion for merit in the city ser
vice.
My candidacy is opposed by the
special privilege corporations and their
newspaper organ" stated Mr.. Thomas
this morning. MY appeal for sup
port is to all citizens who believe in
our institutions and have faith in the
plain people, of whom l am one
Il believe in promotion based on
merit in all municipal departments,
and for the convenience Of those who
labor upon the docks let the arc light
supplant the great darkness of the
waterfront and there will be fewer
murders and accidental drownings.
Il have no administration to de-
fend and will try to secure Mr.. Heney
and Mr.. Burns to investigate condi-
tons in Portland. They will be helped
by me and no joke about it. All city
election frauds. If any, will be pun
ished.
Il believe that property honestly ac-
quired and all those who toll mus!
