FATAL TO THREE.
About Thirty Workmen Carried
Down With Structure.

Three men are known to have been
killed, one was fatally hurt, and 10
others were injured in the collapse
of a new concrete building Thursday
at the plant of Bridgman Brothers
company, manufacturers OF steam
filters supplies, at 18th street ana
Washington avenue, Philadelphia:
About 80 workmen were carried
down in the debris.
The body of Marshal Hopkins,
aged 40 years, and the bodies OF TWO
unidentified colored men have been
taken from the ruins. It is believed
there are others buried under the
heavy mass of concrete as the po-
lice and contractors have not been
able to locate two Italians and tnree
colored laborers who were on the
building when the accident occurred.
The building, which was beng
erected as an annex to the Bridgman
nlant, collapsed according to the ad-
missions of C. B. Miller, boss Cal :
penter. because the shortings were
taken away from the concrete before
it had properly set. A. $. ReVls,
trading as the Sheet Metal and Cor
nice company, was the contractor OF
the building.
The structure was four stories
high and the heavy concrete crashed
down like an avalanche. Besides
those carried down in the fall, a
number of persons were struck by
flying pieces of the concrete and cut
about the face and hands.
But for dispute between the
bricklayers' helpers and the contrac-
tors as to wages the former were to
receive for holsting brick to the top
of the building after hours, an addl-
tional number of workmen would
have been on the building when the
building collapsed.

A CRANK CALLS
On the President aud Wants to
Disclose Secret
A,out Submarines. Expects War
With Japan, and Would Help Win.
Loeb PLAYS Buffer, as Usual.

A dispatch from Oyster Bay says
only the vigilance of the secret ser
vice guard saved President Roosevelt
from an unlimited guest, who arriv-
ed at Sycamore Hill at 4 o'clock
Monday morning in an automobile.
He was stopped by the guard a short
distance inside the entrance to the
presidents grounds, before he was
in sight of the house.
The stranger said that he wished
to call the president attention to q
new kind of submarine. He offered
no resistance when the secret service
men told him that he must leave the
grounds at once, but drove back to
Oyster Bay, and had an early break
fast at the Octagon Hotel. He refus-
ed to register.
Leaving the hotel the man went to
the executive offices. where he wait
ed two hours for Secretary Loeb.
He told the secretary that he had
been troubled by the reports OF q
possible war between the United
States and Japan, and had decided
that it was his duty to tell the presl-
dent about an Improvement in sub
marine boats which he had perfect
ed.
Secretary Loeb talked for some
time with the man, and came to the
conclusion that he was demented.
Loeb finally persuaded him to leave
town without making another at
tempt to see the president. The sec
retary refused to tell who the strang-
er was, but said that he belonged to
prominent New Jersey family, and
would be taken care Of when he re-
1 turned home.
"The visitor was a tall, broad
shouldered man" /" said Loeb. He
gave evidence of breading and educa-
ton. It was easy to see that he was
not quite right, and he was such q
powerful fellow that | took good
care not to excite him. I used all the
diplomacy at my command, and per-
suaded him to leave town quietly.
Of course, if he had insisted upon
seeing the president should have
been obliged to have him taken in
charge y
It is suggested that the stranger
was melted to make an attempt to
reach the presidents house so early

effect that man had driven. unmo-

STARTLING ALLEGATION
Made by the Japanese and Korean
Exclusion League.

A vigorous protest has been receiv-
ed by the government from Japanese
and Korean Exclusion league, the
headquarters Of which are at Seattle.
Wash, against what is asserted to
be an organized traffic in japanese
women, who, it is alleged, are being
brought to this country in large num-
oe~~s for immoral purposes.
The protest declares that wholesale
Misrepresentation, perjury and fraud
are perpetrated on the part of imml-
grants, and perjury and colluslon on
the part of japanese residents in this
country. 1t is said that the traffic
is regularly organized and that the
women are brought into the country
and sold into a system of slavery. In
connection with the traffic there is
said to exist a gang Of blackmailers,
composed of japanese, who live on
the "hush money collected from
the importers Of the Japan slave
girls.
It is asserted by the officers of the
league that hundreds Of these women
are scattered among the cities of the
Northwest and in the Logging and
mining camps and that they are
drifting gradually to cities through
out the country.
The protest is signed by P. B.
Gill, president, and A. E. Fowler,
secretary of the league. 1t will be
brought to the attention of the i'm
migration authorities.

under the immigration law, are not

PLEADS FOR PEACE.
A Japanese Naval Officer Arrives in
New York.

81 wish you would do your best for
peace were the first words of Ad-
miral Baron Combey Yamoto, who.
arrived in New York last week from
Europe.
The. baron says his visit is not sig
ni6cant and he thinks that war be-
tween the United States and Japan
is the remotest possibility.
Asked his opinion of the sending
of American battlesips to tie Paci-
fic, he said: That's a question for the
Americans to answer he said;
through an interpreter, as he speaks
no English.
Peace depends on the newspap-
ers," he continued and they cannot
be too careful. They should under
stand conditions thoroughly before
publishing. he deprecates exaggera-
ton and misquotation. The baron
was the nlikado's minister of marine
during the Russian war. He is known
throughout the world.

Recommends It's Use to Those Who Are Afflicted With Rheumatism.

No greater recommendation could be given ariy proprietary remedy than tes- timonia1 by a resident of the city, where such medicines are introduced, and one who is we'll known and stands high in the community. It Is such a testimonial that Cok F. A. Dillingham;, manufacturer of Plant Juice remedies. delights to have, for with these he receives the best kind of an advertisement, and one that he shows with great pride to the people of the city in which 1t was given him. It was such a testimonial that was given Colonel Dillingham; last Wednesday by J. S. Old ham, the well known police officer and one of the most faithful and bravest on the force, who for the past ten years has been a sufferer from rheumatism. MT. Oldham's testimonial reads follows:
 Birmingham, Ala, May 22, 1907.

 To Whom It May Concern:
 This is to certify that for the past ten years I have suffered from rheumatism, brought on by exposure in performing my duties as police officer of the city of Birmingham, Ala, having been a mem Der of the force for the past twenty-one years. I have tried every known remedy to get relief, but could get none. I even went to Hot Springs, Ark, and there re- ceived great relief but shortly after my return home my troubles came back. At times I have suffered so much that could not, attend to my duties and would have to lay off. Having heard of Dillingham; S Plant Juice I decided to try 1t and se- cured bottle of the Plant Juice and one of the Plant Juice liniment. I began to take same according to directions and be- gan to receive immediate relief I am now using the second bottle of both rem edies, and am glad to say that by their use l have regained the use of my limbs. and have been able to return to my duties as police officer. I am 63 years of age and reside at 1924 North Sixteenth street. l highly recommend Plant Juice remedies and have recommended them to my friends.
