Postal Authorities Maintain a
Strict Silence
SAID 70 CONTAIN $4,000
Pouch Was Shipped From Los An
geles to New York Last Saturday
Was Stolen Somewhere Near
Kansas City.

Los ANGELES, June l0.-Postal
officials of three cities today partially
confirmed the rumors of the theft of
a mail pouch somewhere in the jur-
isdiction Of the Kansas City depart
ment last Saturday night The pouch
was shipped from this city, and from
private sources it is intimated that it
contained at least $4,000 in cur
rency; which was presumably shipped
by Los Angeles bank to its New
York correspondent. How the rob-
berry was committed cannot be learn
ed, as the postal authorities maintain
a strict silence, as is their custom in
such cases. 1t is further intimated
that the stolen pouch contained many
other valuable packages in addition
to the one containing the $4,000.

NEW YORK, June l0.-Despite
the discovery OF the serum as shown
by experiment to be effective in
cerebro-spinal meningitis, or spotted
fever, reducing the death rate where
tried so per cent, no appreciable eff
feet of its use is shown in the reports
Of the health department OF this city,
where the remedy was discovered.
DR.. Simon Flexner OF the Rockefeller
Institute, after years OF work has
succeeded in perfecting a serum
which has been used in epidemic CEN
ters in Dublin, Vienna and in Cleve-
land Its use has not become gem
eral here, through ignorance Of the
fact that 1t may be obtained at the
Rockefeller Institute or ignorance of
its existence.
In 1905 when the disease was cpl
demic here, there were 275S cases
reported, with 2025 deaths; in 1905,
1882 cases with 8l2 deaths, and last
year 802 cases with 642 deaths, It.
was said yesterday at the health de-
partment that all cases Of the disease
might not have been reported, but
the deaths have been. 1t was admit
ted that il the serum was generally
the result would at once be apparent,
DR.. w H. Park, the head of the
departments research laboratory says
that DR., Flexner had asked the de-
partment to begin the manufacture OF
this serum, This would be begun,
Dr. Park said, in July
DR.. Park says that his force Of
psychologists is now working to
discover serum for scarlet fever.
The real germ Of the disease has not
been discovered, he said although
some scientists declare that the
streptococcus was the cause. His de-
partment Is on the alert for the dis
coyery for q serum for tuberculosis,
athrax, typhoid and measles. !

day decided the contests in two
states at large and fourteen districts,

PORTLAND. June l0.--@ Both the

have risen rapidly during the last "a
hours, The indications now are that
the stage al Portland will reach l72

feN BY Friday morning. with pros
I1ets OF a still further rise. All per-
bns interested are earnestly advised
10 take measures for the protection
of their property. as, from present in
dieations, the crest OF the flood will
rise considerably above 10 feet"
Such is special river report issued
by Acting District Foreeaster Lod-
holz this morning and which he will
send broadcast throughout the sec
tion affected by high water The
weather remains warm in the noun
tains, where the Columbia aud Snake
rivers have their source, and the
snow packed in the gulches 81
rapidly melting.
How high a stage the river at
Portland will reach depends upon the
weather conditions which will prevail
on the west slope OF the Rocky
Mountains during the next few days,
AS yet there is no indication Of a
change in the high temperature. A
temperature OF 90 degrees was regis
tered at Kamloops, B. G., yesterday,
two degrees warmer than the prcced-
sihg day AT Kalispel, Mont, which
Is surrounded by snowy mountains,
ii was Y degrees. The temperature
was 50 at Spokane and SO at Lewis
ton.
In the past "a hours the Upper
Columbia and Snake rose at every
point from which reports have been
received. The highest rise noted was
at Umatilla where an increased depth |
of l.6 feet Is shown AT Wenatchee,
Wash, the Columbia rose Ia foot, 8
OF foot at Lewiston, 4 of foot at
Riparia 8 Of foot at Kennewick,
foot at The Dalles and 4 of foot
at Vancouver
The river at Portland stood at a
stage Of l6,S feet at 5 o'clock this
morning, an increase OF half foot
since yesterday 1t is expected to
attain height of 1875 feet by Friday
morning. When it reaches that stage
the lower floor Of practically every
dock on the west side of the river
will be flooded The occupants Of
most Of the wharves have already
moved to higher elevations and those
who still linger in their old quarters
are preparing to seek higher loca-
tions.
A continuous stream of inquiry
concerning the height the river is
likely to reach in the next few days
is pouring into the weather bureau
office. Inquiries are coming from
every part Of the district. One man
has to remain at the phone nearly all
the time answering the persistent
questioners. In every case they are
informed that the river will reached d

Morris tribune., 1908-11-21

The climax to the public utterances
of the emperor was reached in an in
terview which he gave to an English
man and which was published in the
London Daily Telegraph on Oct. %
As the outcome of this the whole
country was aroused; the reichstag
endorsed the attitude of many of its
prominent members when they de.
nounced the sovereign, and Chancel-
lor Won Buelow, while he attempted to
smooth away the affair, undertook to
communicate to his majesty straight
forward and unvarnished statement of
how the German people viewed his
Intervention in affairs of state.
The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in Potsdam and at
its conclusion the emperor made for
NAL promise to his people that in the
future he would not act except through
the chancellor and his associate min
listers.
