We gather from Senator Dilling-
hams utterances since his return from
Europe, where he went to study the
question of immigration restriction,
that he has lost much of his former
alarm-quite generally shared, we may
say-that this country is being literal
~ swamped by an undesirable foreign
element. Instead, he finds that immi-
grafton Is source of real strength to
the country, bringing us a hardy and
ambitious element that comes at least
as well prepared to endure as our own
forefathers did; that they crave edu-
cation for their children even more
than our native born people do; that,
as rule, they make good citizens, and
that. instead of overrunning the coun-
try, the percentage of foreign born Is
not increasing About all the needed
safeguards that are practical are now
in operation. and others may be added
as time goes on to strain ont the unde-
sirable individuals from the mass of
needed and worthy immigrants that
yearly come to our shores. The sena-
tor is everlastingly right. Instead of
stopping immigration, we should en-
courage 1t in the proper way-Ran-
dolph Herald and News.
We are glad to see the conclusion
we have for years maintained is be-
ing reached by others and especially
by such a distinguished convert as
Senator Dillingham;. The United States
should make every effort and spare no
expense to keep out the criminal and
diseased immigrants. Aside from
those, the more the better.

BENNINGTON PEOPLE
With Chronic Coughs Need VinoI. II
Stops the Cough, Cures. the Cold

This is the season for coughs and
colds, and for the benefit of Benning-
ton people our local druggist VIM, l..
Gokay, tells them the best means for a
cure.
He says: Take Vinol. our real Cod
liver preparation without oil. II does
not upset the stomach like cough syr-
ups, and ii is much more effective.
Vinol is not palliative but cura.
tive.
This is because Vinol contains In
highly concentrated form all of the
healing, strength creating and medici-
nal elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods liyers. with all
the useless, nauseating oil eliminated
and tonic iron added II tastes fine
and cannot upset the weakest stom-
ach hence its wonderful power to
cure.
We ask every person in Bennington
who has a chronic cough or hard cold
to try Vinol on our guarantee. VIM l..

The DISEASE
IS Durable
CLivermore, California Herald)

(Livermore, California Herald.)
The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has been deemed equally fatal is
Bright's Disease. That it is now posi-
lively durable is known to compare
lively few people. Unfortunately
the new treatment for Bright's Disease
comes under the head of proprietary
preparations and medical ethics forbid
a recognition of its merits. The Her.
aid takes the view that having positive
knowledge of cures effected, its duty
to it's readers and to humanity is to
state the facts. The publisher knows
of two cases in which it has effected
permanent cures and of two others
who had practically abandoned hope,
but who are now regaining their
health. This paper is not pecuniarily
interested and this statement is made
solely with view of aiding such peo-
pie as may be afflicted with Brights
Disease and have despaired of recov-
cry. Should any such receive benefit
we will feel amply repaid for diverg-
ing from the beaten journalistic path.

{ EMBRACES MOTHER
SWALLOWS ACID

Hazel Turner, II years old, threw her
arms around her mothers neck in their
little refugee cottage in Lobos Square
about 11:30 o'clock last night, kissed
her and, vowing that she loved her
better than any one else in the world,
ran into an adjoining room and swal-
lowed carbolic acid.
AS the girl fell to the floor with a
cry, the mother hastened to her side.
and smelling the acid and realizing
what her daughter had done. at once
summoned Dr. Loneto, whose office is
in the neighborhood of the refugee
camp. He summoned an ambulance and
administered antidotes, but before the
hospital conveyance arrived the girl
was dead.
The mother, Mrs. Charles Turner,
could give no reasons for the suicide.
Miss Turner had been out with some
girl and boy companions and had re-
turned home only a. few minutes before
she swallowed the poison.
The girl was employed by the Amer
ican Packing Company.

THIRTY ENTOMbED
BY EXPLOSION

ELKINS. W. Va, Feb. 4.-The third
mine explosion in West Virginia with
in two weeks occurred today at the
Davis Coal and Coke Company's mine
No. 20, at Thomas. near here Twenty
FIVE or thirty miners are said to have
been killed.
The disaster occurred shortly after
7 o'clock this morning. Late today the
first rescuing party entered the mine.
The bodies of six foreigners and one
American were recovered at a distance
of 100 feet from the shaft Before
further progress could be made a wave
Of poisonous fumes enveloped the res
cuing party, which was composed of
General Manager OFT. d. M. Boyd. Su-
perintendent Henry Hine. Daniel Josh.
Mine Boss Arthur osewart and John
Jenkins. Before the rescuing party
could reach the surface Jones died OF
suffocation.
Tonight efforts are being made TO
enter the mine again.
There is no possible hope that the
men still in the mine are alive. The
number of entombed men is estimated
at thirty, and 1t is probable there are
more. Just few minutes before the
explosion a large party of miners had
entered the mine by way of an un-
used opening at Coalton. When they
heard the mufied report they rushed
back and thus saved their lives

rounds the death of Mrs. Mamie Bren-
ner, is years of age, who passed away
this afternoon in her home at S32

SUPERVISOR ROWE
ST|RS MITCHELL
Verbal Tilt Over the Activi-
ties Of DR.. Clarke of
the County Infrmary
TOO BUSY OUTSIDE

OAKLAND, Feb Another lively
verbal tilt took place at today's meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors. Chair
man Mitchell and Supervisor Rowe
clashed over the charge that DR.. Clarke
of the County Infirmary was devoting
too much of his time to his private
practice. Rowe criticised DR.. Clarke
for coming to Oakland to build up his
practice. Chairman Mitchell asserted
that DR.. Clarke's management of the
infirmary had been efficient and that
he could not be blamed for taking pri-
vate patients, when his monthly salary
as infrmary superintendent was only
$3.50,
Supervisor Kelley switched the acri-
monious discussion to the question of OIL
ing the county roads and accused Rowe
of having authorized bills in his dis
trict for amounts greater than were
allowed under the resolutions of the
board Rowe denied that he had vio-
lated any of the rules.
District Attorney Brown informed the
board that the physicians of the County
Jail, Receiving Hospital and County
Infirmary were not county officers. He
called the attention of the board to the
fact that in 1903 it had passed a reso-
luton that the superintendent of the
infirmary was to give all his time to
the business of the infrmary. The
board had no legal authority, he said,
to give the Sheriff power to appoint
three more deputies to guard the
County Jail during its reconstruction.
The Superior Court Judges. however,
have corrected this error by themselves
authorizing such appointments.
The proposed addition of a wing to
the Hall of Records and the remodeling
of the Courthouse were referred to the
building committee. Architect w. j.
Miller will consult with Supervisor
Kelley and the other members of the
building committee
number of residents of Dimond
presented a petition for the revocation
of the liquor license of Charles Topper.
They claimed the license was procured

ences with the President, IN which
they assured him that they could revo-
lutionize the work of the body The
report states that Hanks and Harrt-
man were afforded every facility in

CONTEST ON OVER
REALTY SALE

Oakland Causes Dispute
SUIT Is THREATENED

OAKLAND Feb. 4.-Bankers, capital
fists. brokers and merchants have been
entangled in q realty deal which sn-
wolves ownership OF one of the choicest
parcels Of land in the business district
and unfolds a story OF a long standing
contest over property interests.
Notice was served today by Attorney
A. V Mendenhau on Aaron Fibush.
former City Councilman; Charles I. Ro-
dolph Of the Union Bank of Savings,
representing William G. Henshaw; and
A s Lavenson, a prominent merchant
directing them to heed the claim of
William H Mackinnon 10 one-eighth
interest in the block at the northwest
corner OF Twenty-secOnd street and
San Pablo avenue.
Back of this move. which may be pre-
liminary to a suit, is the tale of a deal
in which Fibush. Mackinnon and Hen
shaw were interested. According to
Fibush. he obtained from Henshaw,
before the big fire. a contract to sell
the property for S23.500. Fibush pro-
cured a customer and put up a $500
deposit with the banker. A dispute
arose subsequently,. Henshaw desiring
TO except from the deed enough of the
land 10 give the Key Route a swing
through Twenty-second street with its
tracks on a good margin of curve.
While the controversy was on FL
bush, II IS SAID, interested Macknnon IN
the deal. The latter asserted that he
and Fibush agreed TO carry the con-
tract and settle with the intending pur-
chaser. who assigned TO Fibush.
Thus the deal has stood for months.
II is reported now that Henshaw is
prepared 10 make over a deed of the
land. after cutting OF twelve feet,
which the Key Route viii take. Fibush
holds the assignment of the first con-
tract and has interested LaVenson in
the transaction Now comes Mackin-
non, who says he has been overlooked
and threatens a suit in case the deed is
passed and he does not share in the
profits. which promise TO be heavy.
Since the fre the property in dispute
has advanced greatly and would mar
ket for twice the price Fibush asserts
was fixed in the contract he claims to
have procured from Henshaw.

OAKLAND Feb. 4.-Bereft of mother
and father within ten days, the four
children of Hiram G. Eddy of 2059
Market street, two of whom are less
than ten years of age. are left to bat
tie with the world alone. Eddy died
this morning from typhoid fever, the
end being hastened by the tragic death
of his wife, Mrs. Daisy Eddy, who was
found dead on January 25 in a local
lodging house, with bottle of chloro-
form clutched in her hand.
In his weakened condition the be-
reaved husband was unable to bear the
shock of his wife's sudden end, and for
the last ten days he has been gradually
sinking, until death today relieved his
sufferings. Mrs. Daisy Eddy was af-
fiicted with strange mania for inhal-
ing fumes of chloroform. and it was in
satisfying her peculiar love for this
drug that she met her death.
Immediately after the death of his
wife, Eddy's condition became worse,
and it was soon known that the shock
had been fatal one. In spite of care
full treatment he steadily sank until
the end came. The deceased was a ma
tive of Minnesota and was Al years of
age having been resident of this
city for number of years. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not yet been
completed
The four orphaned children, two of
whom are too young to realize the
upon them. are now cast upon the
world without the care of either father
or mother. These children are Ernest,
Christina, Elmer and Harold Eddy, the
last two being respectively and z
years of age.

CARS BREAK DOWN;
PEOPLE WALK

Market-street cars were at premium
last night between and Z o'clock and
many hundreds of persons had to walk
home after their hard days work
When the cars did start up again they
were so crowded before they reached
the center of the city that it was i'm
possible TO board one People had to
tramp home through the mud. The
cause of the tieup was wire trouble and
blockade at the foot of Market street,
a truck getting across the track. The
Geary-street cable road was blockaded
about the same time as the Market
lines went out of commission, and the
unpleasant hour of hiking over broken
streets was remindful of the days of the
strike.
While attempting to board a Third
street car at Brannan last night
George Culverhill, a druggist who lives
at 81 Capp street was thrown when
the car started. A deep cash in the
mans scalp required a number of

of a Castro street car at the loop. He
lost his footing and fell, but luckily

head, but not enough to require the SER
vices of a surgeon.
On two occasions last evening gravel
cars filled with Greek laborers got

jumped from the cars and were badly
shaken up, but luckily none was hurt.

ALL NIGHT PERMIT
FOR SALOONS

The Board of Supervisors passed to
print yesterday an amended ordinance
designed to permit saloons to remain
open all night in the future The
amendment removes the present re-
strictions requiring saloons to be
closed at a. m. Supervisor Mamlock
said the restriction should be removed
in view of the fact that normal condi-
ditions prevail now in this city.
Tveitmoe complained of the delay
in the erection of schoolhouses and
other municipal buildings under the
bond issue. Nicholas informed the
board that the Board of Works would
soon have plans for twelve school
buildings completed and that bids to
construct them would be invited by
March /.
Boxton said that he would oppose
the plan of the Board of Education to
substitute wooden buildings for those
of brick, as prescribed by the bond is
sue. as he did not believe in paying
$4,000 for a frame structure. He
said the school plans had been delayed
the consulting architects appointed
by the board had to wait for instruc-
tions from Supervising Architect Shea.
City Attorney Burke filed an opinion
that the board could not build the new
City and County Hospital building on
the site of the old hospital, as the bond
issue designated the Almshouse tract
site as the one for the purpose.
Lonergan gave notice that immedi-
ate steps would be taken to build the
structure, for which S1,000,000 is avail
able.
