MAY
REACH THREE
Gasoline Fire Yesterday May
b More Serious Than at
s First Believed =. Z.

Vallejo, Cal, Sept. 19.-The gaso-
line fire in the navy yard yesterday,
wherein The May, the chief machine
ist, lost his life and several men were
injured, is now believed to have cost
three lives in all. Fred Martin. boy,
and an Italian laborer are missing
and there is every reason to believe
that they perishei in the water into
which they plunged when the flames
surrounded the floatink workshop
containing nearly thirty barrels Of
gasoline. The naval board inquiry
will be appointed today to investigate
the accident. It is generally believed
that a lighted match thrown into the
water ignited quantity of refuse
gasoline afioat on the surface and the
flames were communicated to the sew
eral hundred gallons of the inflamable
fluid which had been pumped out OF
the tanks Of the submarine Pike and
Grampus which were moored along
side. the float. OF the score of men
who sprang from the open platform
into the water, all were rescued with
the exception OF May who could not
swim and possibly the boy and an
Italian. Four of the men inside the
iGrampus pulled down the hatch and
remained imprisoned until the fire
was extinguished, suffering intensely
from the heat, but escaping injury.
The fire caused loss of about $20,-
900. ~This includes the destruction Of
some valuable instruments, some
damage to the submarine Pike and
the destruction Of the woodenwork
aboard the tugs Fortune and Unandil-

YOUNG NURSES
AWFUL MISTAKE
Death List Numbers Four
From Drinking Poisoned
Water at Hospital

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 19.-The care
lessness of Mary Arthur, a 19-year-
cid nurse at the county hospital, has
cost the lives of four patients to date
and four others who drank from the
pitcher containing atrophine are seri-
ously i'll. 1t is believed however that
these will recover. The dead are J.
Young, Charles Kemp. Henry 9.
Sznett and Aug. Fixeleer. Miss Ar
thur. who is in a state of collapse,
failed to confess her neglect, until
the poison had taken deadly et-
feet. According to her statements
she left the solution of atrophine in
the pitcher, which was later filled by
some other persons. After short
absence Miss Arthur administered
water to several patients, and others
helped themselves from the pitcher.
While an investigation has been made
by the county authorities 1t has not
been determined whether or not the
nurse will be held legally responsible
for the deaths.

PARLIAMENT ENDS
New Elections in Canada For Members
of New Body

OF New Body
Ottawa, Sept. 19.-The tenth parli-
ament of Canada has been dissolved,
and the electors will be asked to say
by their votes on Monday, October 26,
whether or not the presen. govern
ment has deserved the reward OF an
announcement handed out after a
meeting of the cabinet this afternoon.
Nominations will be made on October
10, with polling week later.
The date is little earlier than orig
inally selected, as the government
found that all the arrangements for
putting the machinery of the election
law into operation could be completed
in time to put the date forward two
or three days. Moreover, 1t was con-
sidered that Monday would, all things
being considered, be a more conven-
lent day for the general public than
a mid-week day.
The writs for the holding of the
election will be sent out at once to
the various constituencies. Hon. r.
w. Scott. secretary of state, who has
charge of an immense amount OF the
detail work involved in the prepara-
tion Of the election lists, the appoint
ment Of returning officers. etc., will
continue in Office until the work Is
finished. Consequently the in coming
minister, Charles Murphy. will not be
sworn in until next week.
The returning officers in most Of the
constituencies have already been Sc
lected. With but few exceptions, they
will be the sheriffs Of their respective
districts, although in some cases it has
been found that other appointments
were rendered necessary.
The government Is going to the
county in confidence that the verdict
Of the electors will be repetition Of
the verdicts given in 1900 and 1904.
Reports received from every province
indicate that the outlook for the liber-
al cause is most favorable, and now
that the ministers have hade q chance
to feel the political pulse of the peo-
pie in their respective provinces they
are in a most optimistic mood. In
fact, general public opinion, as far as
can be gathered here, is generally
that there is practically no doubt but
that he present government will be
returned to power.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-Practically
the entire state of Pennsylvania east
Of the Allegheny mountains are suf-
fering from one of the worst droughts
in years. In some parts of the state
no rain has fallen in more than two
months, and the rivers and streams
are 80 low that many industries have
been interferred with and in some in
stances the plants have been shut
down for lack OF water. Forest fires
are burning in several sections and
some localities report that the corps
will be entirely ruined unless rain
comes soon. At Shenandoah. in the
anthracite coal regions, the water
supply is so low that the farmers are
bringing water to the residents in
town instead Of vegetables, as there
is more profit in haling water than
peddling produce. Water sells at
eight cents a gallon and many are
compelled to walk three and four
miles to get supply even at that
price. Several coal mines in that
region have been closed because of
the lack of water to run the power
plants.
A Serious Matter.
With forest fires destroying much
valuable property, the enforced sus-
pension OF many industries, crops
ruined, live stock suffering, river ma.
vieation at standstill and numerous
small streams absolutely dry, the
drought which has practically been
unbroken for over two months is fast
becoming a serious matter. Forest
fires in Somerset county, thirty miles
from Astoria, Pa, have destroyed
three lumber camps, and ten million
feet of lumber and timber valued at
S150,000 1t is also believed that
number of lives have been lost at that
place
The city of Ccrrick, Pa, is practi-
cally surrounded by fire today.

are spreading rapidly and if the

Report That Kept Kaiser From Enter.
Ing France Declared Jest.
Paris, France, Sept. 19.-That real
danger on this side of the French from
tier prevented the kaiser's projected
trip into French territory is not be-
lieved by the public here In spite of
the cicumsta ssrsvelati i9ps,,ss Of q
special correspoh Of one 81 thu
liyliest and best Informed of the. Paris
papers. Tbs two nhy1sterious AiSStkin
workmen. who are, said to have LEFT
q factory at Mulhouse the evening
before the kaiser's automobile arrived
at Schlucht pass, have not been found
by the police though every factory In
Alsace has been searched to discover
what workmen were missing on the
afternoon In question or are missing
now.
At police headquarters in Paris It is
believed that these men were not an
archists but practical jokers. It
seems, however, that the joke worked,
for on receiving the news regarding
the wormen from the chief of police
at Mulhouse, the officials at the Ger
man frontier impaired 1t to Emperor
William, who furiously tore up the
telegram and, after examining map
showing that the road he would have
to follow in France was protected by
only eighteen gendarmes, declared that
the French officials must be thanked
for their kindness, but that under the
circumstances he deemed it impru-
dent to go farther.
In the meantime, the French on
cials on their side had given orders
simply to shoot on sight any unknown
person who attempted to approach
the kaiser and to shoot without wait,
ingsto ascertain the straner's identity.
Having taken the anarchist story SER
iously, they were relieved when the
last "Hoch der Kaiser" stgnaled the
departure Of William, who had chang-
ed his mind, for, despite denials, ON
cial publications here prove indubit-
ably that until the kaiser reached the
frontier 1t was his intention to cross
IL.

FORAKER MAY Be, !.
S|DETRACk.ED
May be Asked to Withdraw as
Speaker at Republican :
League

New York, Sept. 1s.-It was re-
ported here this afternoon on what
seemed sufficient authority, though
the national headquarters was dumb
on the subject, that Senator Foraker
would be asked to withdraw as one
of the speakers at the meeting of the
League of Republican clubs at Gin
cinnati next Tuesday. Senator For
aker was scheduled to speak upon that
occasion on the same platform with
Judge Taft.
Cincinnati, Sept. 19.-senator For
aker this afternoon said that he knew
nothing of any suggested change in
the arrangements for the Republican
club meeting on next Tuesday in this
city.
1t was learned late this afternoon
that no definite decision had been
reached as to extending any such re.
quest to Senator Foraker. John
Hayes Hammond, who has charge Of
the Republican club matters for the
national committee, is on his way to
Cincinnati and it is thought likely he
will have a talk with Senator Foraker
on the subject.
