The winter weather has not pre-
vented Messrs. Rich & Carlson from
keeping a force of men on the new
power dam down the river. There are
now about thirty men at work, and
the concrete work on the dam and
power house proper is all complete,
nothing remaining but the little top
house on top Of the power house. The
machinery is rapidly being set in

are to be graded and cleared THU

complete all the work and that within
two weeks at least the water will be
shut off and power generated from
the dam.

ENGINE DERAILED;
2 ARE DROWNED
FIREMAN AND ENGINEER GO
DOWN WITH LOCOMOTIVE
Open Switch Causes Accident, and
Coaches Filled with Passengers
Hang over TrestIe Where
Water Is Deep
tBy Associated Press.).

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 19.-The
locomotive of the Great Northern-Se-
attic express, due in Vancouver at 3:46
%. M, jumped the track at 3:10 this aft
ernoon while crossing the Frazer river
over Westminster bridge. The engine
and tender went into the river and En-
gineer George Zeigwid was drowned,
also the fireman. No passengers were
hurt.
The wreck was caused by an open
switch. Four cars filled with passen-
gers were left standing on the brink
of the trestle over which the engine
and tender had plunged. The escape of
the passengers from death was miracu-
lous, as little more than the length OF
one car separated the switch point
from the edge of the trestle.
That the entire train did not run into
the river was undoubtedly due to the
fact that as soon as the air connection
was broken when the tender went over
the brakes on all cars were set auto
matically.
The accident occurred while the train
was running slowly. When the engine
and tender went over into the river the
combination baggage and mail car was
left standing on the brink, its front
end hanging over the river.
1t is declared by eye witnesses of the
accident that when the locomotive
struck the water the boiler exploded.
1t is said an immense cloud OF steam
and water was thrown high in the air.
Neither the engineer nor the fireman
was seen after he went into the river.
The cab of the engine was torn off and
foated away on the swift current. the
river where the engine went down is
forty feet deep.

REAR ADMIRAL GOES

Especial to The Herald

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
From the fearful strain of the battle
of Manila bay, Dewey's chief of staff
on that memorable occasion has gone
blind Rear Admiral Benjamin P. Lam
berton, who served as chief of staff to
Dewey at Manila, is now living In
Washington, his sight irrevocably gone,
but otherwise in excellent health and
possessing all his other faculties.
In spite of his affliction, Admiral
Lamberton is remarkably cheerful, and
his attitude makes him beloved by
every one who meets him. He is sur
rounded by his family, and outside of
his home his main work is in his church
affiliation.
Within a few months after the battle
of Manila bay his eyes began to give
him trouble, and his physician attrib-
utes the blindness directly to the strain
OF the battle.

DECLARE TURKS
KIDNAPPED CHILD
FEARED YOUTH IS HELD IN
AFFECT SLAVERY
Seven-Year.oId Son of Frenchman
at Playa del Rey Has Been
Missing More Than a
Month

Humane officer R. w. Reynolds has
been asked to assist in the search for
Peter Tabar, the 7-year-old son of Vim
Lcent Tabar of Playa del Rey, who dis
appeared from the beach town May 10
and who, it is believed by his par
ents and other residents of Playa del
Rey, was kidnapped by Turks and car
ried to Los Angeles, where he is belng
held in captivity and probable slavery
Immediately after the disappearance
of the lad it was thought he had merely
wandered from home and would return
soon. on his failure to return the
theory of his disappearance was
changed to death by drowning, but as
the body has not been found and none
can remember of seeing the lad near
the water May 13 the drowning theory
has been abandoned.
Turks Camp Near Town
A number of Turkish peddlers were
camped near Playa del Rey at the time
the boy disappeared. 1t is remem-
bered by several persons that several
of these Turks were seen near the de-
NOT at the same time that young Ia
bar was last seen. AS far as can be
learned the boy was last seen IN Playa
del Rey about 12:45 o'clock, when the
Balloon Route excursion Car lSlL tAS
depot on it's regular trip.
The Turks were particularly numer-
GUS at that time endeavoring to sell
their wares to the eXcursionists. 1t
can be remembered now that several
Turks were observed standing about IN
an apparently aimless attitude, not
having goods for disposal.
1t is the firm belief of several per-
sons who were at the depot that day
that in the confusion and crowd at
tendance on the departure of the eX-
cursion car, Peter Tabar was spirited
aWay by Turks and later smuggled
into Los Angeles, where he is at pres
ent being held in slavery.
Fear Lad Is Slave
Persons who have taken an interest
in the case declare that the Tuks have
a small colony of more or less honest
countrymen in Los Angeles and that
strange occurrences take place within
the walls of the houses in which the
Turks live These persons picture hor-
rible scenes in which young Tabar and
other youths are held in abject slavery
and subjected to influences which soon
crush from them their native charac-
teristics and mold them into a kind
of Gypsy type.
The fact that Peter Tabar is the son
of French parents and speaks English
with a marked accent is recalled as an
inducement leading to his abduction, as
his/ speach would not so easily reveal
that he is other than young Turk.
The boy, at the time he was missed
from home, wore overalls and a dark
cap. He is of small size for his z
years of age.

PATTON INQUIRY
FINDING SEALED
ATTENDANTS PUT THROUGH
RIGID EXAMINATION
Board Which Makes Investigation Re-
fuses to DIvuIge Conclusions Until
After Trial of Former
Watchman Berg
(By a STAFF correspondent.)

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, June 19.-
After several hours of searching in
vestigation by the board of managers
of the California State Hospital for In
sane at Patton, in which practically
the same testimony was received as
was taken at the district attorneys in
quiry one week ago, the board, after
holding a private session to arrive at
it's decision in regard to the matter,
sealed its findings and placed them in
the hands of State Superintendent
Hatch, who was present, to be opened
at Sacramento after the preliminary
hearing of Hans S. Berg, charged with
manslaughter for the death of Henry
Grassmee. This action was taken to
avoid the possibility of the findings
being used either by the state or the
defense in the prosecution of the for
mer attendant charged with killing the
patient.
Promptly at o'clock the board of
managers started it's inquiry, attended
by State superintendent Hatch ana
superintendent Blair, and investigated
the testimony of each witness sepa-
rately. The witnesses examined were:
Acting Superintendent Gustave Wilson,
DR., Loizeaux, DR.. Jessie H. Simpson,
DR., Jennings, Acting Supervisor But
Ter, and in the case of each the eYl-
dence was Imply a repetition of that
developed at the investigation under
the direction of Assistant District At
torney Goodcell.
Placed Under Oath
AS the witnesses were called to tes-'
tify they were placed under oath by
State Superintendent Hatch, who start
ed the interrogation, and following the
severe question of DR.. Hatch each
member of the board carefully Went
over the ground in regard to which
they were not certain.
DR.. Wilson was the first witness and
the questions fired at the acting SUI
perintendent were grueling in the ex-
treme. President Clark read letter
which had been sent to him which was
written by DR.. Wilson to man named
Newman A. Friend of the Grassmee
family. The letter stated that the pa
tient had been injured and was in
very precarious condition. DR.. wilson
continued in the letter to state that
the management could take no blame
for the injuries, as they were inflicted
by other patients, thing which was OF
frequent occurrence, at the institution.
In taking the acting superintendent TO
task for this letter DR.. Hatch SAID; Il
don't want to see hypercritical, but
1 must say you were unfortunate IN
YOUR language. I think you are sincere
in your explanation before this board,
but the public, reading this letter,
would think otherwise. I would sug-
gest that the next time you be a little
more clear and specific"
Attendants Censured
Again when he was questioned in
regard to why he discharged Berg
without first conducting a rigid inves-
tigation and ascertaining If possible
lust what had occurred during the
night when Grassmee was injured, Dr.
Hatch exclaimed: ''You have been left
absolutely in the dark as to what oc-
Cured that night by letting the only
rational man go without first secur-

What The Kidneys Do
Their UnCeaSing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The Kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains Of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin. rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders Of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsincss,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
