THE BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE

Leave of absence to Alexander Craw,
Territorial entomologist, who was re-
ported as on the mend after serious
illness in California, was extended
from three to four months by the
Board of Agriculture yesterday. The
sentiment of the meeting was that his
leave should be extended as long as
might be necessary, his qualifications
being so eminent that it would be very
hard to fill his place il vacant.
Albert Waterhouse brought up the
subject of inspection OF queen bees at
importation. A set of rules had been
prepared which it was decided should
be submitted to the Beekeeper's AS
ISOLATION.
David Haughs, the acting forester,
reported having furnished 300 plants
to Fort Shafter, including 100 poin-
ciana regias and 10S bougainvilleas.
A discussion on the fencing OF for
est reserves ended in reference OF the
matter to the forestry committee.
Alexander & Baldwins request for
permission to dump ballast at the out
er end of Kahului breakwater was con-
tinued for further consideration.

ARTIST is ATTACKED
BY HIS MODEL IN PARIS

PARIS, May 12.-W. II. Leavitt, SON
in-law of William j. Bryan, had a
dangerous encounter yesterday with
an Italian named Cana, who had been
sitting for Leavitt as a model in con-
nection with a picture which the
American artist is painting for the
City Hall at Denver, Col.
After being released from his en-
gagement Cana came repeatedly to the
studio and demanded extra compensa-
ton. This was refused him. The
model finally came back with a blud-
geon, with which he struck Leavitt
on the head. The artist was knocked
down, but he jumped up at once and
defended himself with a knife He
slashed at Cana and cut him on the
head. Help came and the Italian was
arrested and taken to a hospital .
Leavitt was cut on the head by the
blow from the stick, but neither man
is in a dangerous condition

MORE ATTACKS
ON PAWNBROKERS
Portland the Scene of Two New
Assaults on the Second
Hand Men.
SEEMINGLY WORK OF A FIENI
Victims Attacked and Left For Dead,
But Very Little Is
Taken.

PORTLAND (Or), May 12.-Follow-
ing the shocking murder of Nathan
Wolff, pawnbroker less than two
weeks ago, two murderous assaults on
other pawnbrokers within the past
twenty-fOur hours have startled the
entire city and thrown the detective
department into confusion. One at
tack was made early last evening, and
the other occurred today in broad day
light, and the victim may die at any
time
Max Hermann was beaten in his
shop, 267 Couch street, last night and
left for dead. He is now confined to
the hospital, but his injuries are not
fatal. He was terribly beaten about
the head and was unconscious for sew
eral hours.
Following this crime, H, Neuman, a
rich secondhand dealer, was attacked
in his store, Al Second street, within
one block of the Hermann assault, at
II o'clock this morning The assall-
ant used a gas pipe, fracturing the
head of Neuman, who has no chance
for recovery.
One suspect was arrested for the
Hermann hold-up, but it is now said
he cannot be connected with the crime.
No other arrests have been made and
the citizens are terrified by the bold
crimes committed on the busy streets
It is believed that they are the work
of a drug fienu or a degenerate with
an insane thirst for blood, The fact
that little was missing from the Her
mann shop, and nothing, so far as
known, was taken from the Neuman
store, adds weight to this theory.
In some quarters these two crimes
have lessened suspicion OF the guilt OF
Edward H. Martin, held, for the Wolff
murder. When arrested a week ago
today, Martin wore an Oxford gray
cravanette rain coat, which has been
identified as apparel worn by WON
when he left home the day he was
murdered This is by far the best evil
dence held by the State in its prose-
cution of Martin for the murder of the
money leader and its Importance over
shadows the bloody shirt, which has
been regarded as the most damaging
evidence against the accused man. the
coat has been identified by the cloth
ing clerk who sold it to Wolff, and the
latters wife and young daughter are
positive that the coat is the one worr
by Wolff on the day he was murdered
in his Second-street pawn shop. There
seems to be no doubt that the coat was
VOLTS, as the firm from which he pur
chased it is the only one in Portland
handling that particular make of rail-
coat.

Dog Becomes Unconscious BY Appli-
cation of Six Volts From
Street Supply.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Before a
gathering of homeopathic physicians
in Flower hospital DR.. William S.
King, dean of the homeopathic college,
subjected a dog TO an electric current
to demonstrate that electricity can be
used successfully in place OF ether or
chloroform as an anesthetic. Dr.. VIII
liam Diffenbach assisted Dr., King,
Drs. King and Diffenbach got a
black and tan terrier in good health,
shaved the hair off the top of his head
and back near the tail above the lum-
bar region. An electrode was APP
piled on his head and the other on
the back and an intermittent current
of a little more than six volts was
turned on. The current was from the
regular street supply, modified in the
specially constructed apparatus used.
In As seconds the dog was uncon-
scious He could be handled without
the least danger of awakening him,
No operation was performed. Of
course, the somnolence continues only
so long as the electrodes are kept in
place. When they were removed the
dog almost instantly regained con-
sciousness, was as lively as before
the current was turned on and close
examination could not discover the
least i'll effect. Dr. Diffenbach said;
1T is the ,intermittency Of the cur
rent that produces the somnolenee
which makes it possible to perform
operations without the least pain1 tc

is the after effect which makes many
