PITTsBURG, PA. January s.--As a
result OF an explosion Of furnace at the
Eliza furnaces, OF the Jones & Leughl!n
Steel Works tonight, three persons are
known to be dead. seven are in II hos
pital with serious burns and injuries.
and twenty four are missing.
The explosion was caused by an ac-
cumulauon OF gus at the base OF the
furnace, around which were working
thirty-f1ve men. OF all these but one
man escaped injury Without warning
and with roar OF artillery tons of mol
ten metal were poured over the work
men, and FOR "A space Of thirty feet about
the furnace the metal ran to depth Of
four and, five feet.
Two alarms of fire were sent in and
ali the amhulances in the city were
called. The seven who were able to
escape from the hot metal with their
lives were taken to hospital, but 1t Is
thought the twentyfour missing men
have been buried in the mass of steel
and their bodies consumed.
While attempting to rescue some OIL.
the men, Chief Peter Snyder. OF the
fourth fire district, was thrown from
trestle thirty feet high and seriously
injured.
The three men whose bodies have been
recovered we!4 John Crarner. Andrew w.
Featherka and Gustave Kessler. None OF
the seven injured men is expected to
recover.
Pathetic Scene.
The scenes abort the entrance to tie
mill were pathetic when the families OF
the yictims learned OF the disaster. Wo-
men, men and children gathered before
the gate and made frantic efforts to gam
admittance. Several of the frerzied wo-
men rushed upon the officers and fought
them, crying to be allowed to enter the
mill and see their loved ones.
1t became necessary to call additional
police to forcibly escort the women and
children to their homes.
While the mill officials are inclined to
believe that all OF the missing men
were not cremated in the molten metal.
nothing definite is known as to their
fate. Only one man, George Knox. has
turned up since the explosion. and Knox
says everything happened so quick that

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Kill the Germs by Breathing Hy-o-
 mel. Gives Quick Relief,

Many people who have suffered with catarrh for years naturally feel that the disease cannot be cured, and become discouraged.
 Their failure to get relief is due to the fact that they have not used the right remedy. CataTrh is an affection of the head. throat and lungs. and can not be cured by stomach dosing
 The only scientific and natural treatment for this disease is Hy-o- mel. which Is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler, SO that its healing medicated air reaches the most remote air-cells. kills all catarrh germs. and restores the mucous membrane of the nose. throat and lungs to a healthy condition.
 Hy-omei is the only cure for ca tarrh that has ever been sold with the understanding that it was to cost absolutely nothing unless it cured. The Larson Drug CO. sells Hy-o-mei in this way and is always ready to refund the money If it does not relieve and cure catarrh.
 The healing and antiseptic balsams of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose to perfection, and by using this remedy for a few times each day, you can soon cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles.

PUSH ALONG DE LONGPRE'S
MUNICIPAL BAND PROJECT
CITY couNcILMEN LIKE IDEA,
BUT CAN'T FIND FUNDS
Los Angeles Musicians Only Are to Be
Employed, and Afternoon and
Night Concerts Would
Be Possible

Members of the city council who favor
Paul de Longpre's plan of organizing a
municipal band made up Of Los Angeles
resident musicians have given great
deal of attention the past week to dis
cussing how the project can be launcneo'
Though few of them can see wnere
the city officials will be able to appropriate
any sum for this work they say the DIS
cussion will do no harm.
De Longpre's idea as laid before the
administration is that the business or
foundations, trolley companies and city
council appropriate jointly about SloOo
week to assemble, drill and train forty-
five solo musicians.
This band Is to give afternoon concerts
daily at the different parks and nightly
concert preceded by a parade eyer dit-
ferent streets at Central park.
IT is the plan to later send the band
on tour over the United States and
possibly to Europe to advertise Los An
eeles as a progressive city.
This band would be available for all
holiday and public occasions, 1t Is ar
ened. and be a stimulus to art and Gull
ture. besides affording music for those
who love it.
Mayor Harper has been won over 10
the plan and as soon as the financial
situation clears committee may be APP
nointed to take preliminary steps to get
such an organization together. 5
A nominal fee for programs is one of
the means suggested for getting up part
of the maintenance revenue.

l.. ]. Wiley, who was arrested Thurs
day evening during the raid made by
the district attorneys office on the
gambling den on Windward avenue at
Venice, made the sensational statement
yesterday that he had operated the re-
sorts not only in the beach town but
likewise in the city of Los Angeles and
that the police knew all about his
doings.
He claims that the resignation of
Charles Foster, former chief of police
of Ocean Park, from that position some
time ago was owing to fear of publicity
with reference to the contract that that
officer had with the gambler.
During the Fiesta" said Wiley, Il
ran place on Broadway between First
and Second street. and the police knew
all about it but said nothing"
He says that 1t would be utterly i'm
possible for the district attorneys Of
flee to unearth the gambling houses
that are strewn all over Los Angeles
county. because there are too many
of them.
He promises to make startling state
ments when his case1comes UP for hear
ing and drag number of prominent

CITY ENGINEERS RESENT
CUT IN THEIR NUMBER
Most of the Expenses of the Depart
ment Are Paid by Lot Owners
Under vrooman Act,
1t Is Urged

Members of the city engineers force are
still wondering whether Councilman A. j..
Wallace really meant what he said when
he announced that perhaps twenty or
forty men would be dropped from that
department
The remark fell when the bureau of
street assessments. through Clerk Frank
Palomares asked for an extra assessment
clerk.
Chairman Wallace of the finance COM
mittee was arguing for delay in this item,
and as reason why there should be a
halt said the engineers department
which makes the work and originates i'm
provement proceedings for Palomares'
force, would be considerably reduced
This, of course, would do away with the
necessity of an additional assessment
clerk
One of the head officials in the engineer
ing department said:
ITO cut our department would certainly
be unwise.
1T was only a few months ago that
Chairman Wallace announced that Los
Angeles was building miles Of streets,
that more would he built If we had more
engineers and that most of the pay OF
these men came out of the pockets of
those living on the streets so improved.
at is q fact that under the Vrooman
act the lot owners, not city. pay most of
the expenses of the city engineers, even
the timekeepers
.Why then should department be cut
which initiates new work which costs the
city very little and yet keeps thousands
of dollars in circulation and thousands of
men at work dependent solely on the
progress in this particular department.?

TO BUY FRANCHISE FOR
LOS ANGELES-PACIFIC
COUNCIL EXPECTS BIG FIGURES
FROM THIRD RAIL BIDDER
Proposals Invited for First Week In
October and Heavy Bond Required.
No Nominal Sum VIII Be
Considered

Belief Is general among councilmen
that the Los Angeles Pacific officials will
bid for the third-rail franchise to be sold
early in October and that there Will be no
other bid.
Non-partisans have insisted that
strong bond be required and that pro-
vision be inserted In the official adver-
tisement that any and all bids may be re-
jected. This is new departure. The
object of this is to avoid being confront
ed by nominal bid by speculative bid
ders, who will drop the franchise If they
are unable to unload 1t.
The franchise is regarded as being very
valuable by members of the council, and
Wren has stated openly that he will OPP
pose any effort to sell street rights unless
the city gets a big revenue from the
company bidding for the privilege.
Judge Albert Stephens application Is
regarded as having been made on behalf
of northwestern property owners, al
though 1t is for the company that the
application to sell the franchise was
made.
Values in the northwest rose rapidly
when the first subway talk was started.
and as soon as the third rail troubles are
overcome no further delays are antici-
pated in connection with the subway and
kindred projects involving big expendl-
lures here by the Hartman interests.
II the litigation in the highest court
proves unfavorable to the Los Angeles
Pacific company it is argued that the
franchise can be surrendered at the end
of the litigation period without losses.
and this will be done.
City Clerk Harry Lelande has ordered
advertisements for the bids to be opened
October 7. The two franchises apply to
