GAS CAUSES DEATH OF
FIVE MEN ON COLLIER
Fumes from Vessels Hold During
Typhoon Are Fatal to FiIipnos
Off China

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Myste-
rious gases released from the hold of
the United States collier Nanahan
when the steel bulkheads of that Ves-
sci were stove in by a typhoon were
responsible for the death of five mem
bers of her crew, according to the
story Of Third Assistant Engineer Ell
mer Hutchins, who arrived in this port
yesterday on board the cruiser Buffalo
The vessel was en- route from Cavite
to Hong Kong at the time of the accI-
dent. Shortly after the ship ran into
a terrific typhoon a noise like the ex-
plosion of gases was heard, and as
soon as water began to pour into the
paint locker fumes began to rise from
it in great volume. Captain Carver
took five members of the Filipino crew
forward with him to investigate.
The failure of the men to return led
Hutchins to make an investigation,
and he also was overcome, but was re-
vived by wave which washed over
the decks.
When the men were finally dragged
back from the hold it was found that
by some ineXplicable freak the bodies
had been stril ped naked by the fumes.
Captain Carver revived, but Chief
officer Larkin, Second officer Rapp and
three sailors died from inhaling the
gas. An investigation into the causes
of the strange accident is now being
held at Hong Kong.

PRESIDENT DIAZ AND
OTHERS GIVE LARGE
SUMS TO SUFFERERS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30-President
Diaz today telegraphed $4,000 to
Monterey.
Vice President Corral has contribut-
ed $4,000 to the flood relief fund and
Ambassador Thompson $1,000. Others
are contributing literally.
The fact that The Red Cross of the
United States is to give aid has been
learned here with profound satisfaction.
On behalf of the United States govern
ment, the American ambassador has
sent condolences to President Diaz.
The national bank officials estimate
the loss in the business center of Mon
terey at $5,000,000. The loss to the big
smelter and industrial plants outside
the city limits will amount to as much
more. The value of the IS blocks of
buildings, mostly OF poor construction,
which were destroyed is fixed at about
$S,000,000. The railway losses, al
though not yet known, are believed to
reach $4,000,000.
A conservative estimate of the en-
tire damage wrought at Monterey by
the flood places the dead at 400 and
the property loss at $12,000,000
The river has gone down and the
danger is over.
Up to the present time $50 bodies
have been recovered. One entire
quarter of the city was destroyed, and
5000 persons are homeless today.
Water Mains Useless
The water mains are useless and the
city Is without drinking water; neither
is there light or street car service, for
the power plant has been seriously
damaged.
1t will be impossible to resume train
service for week, and the city is
threatened with famine.
The slaughter houses have been de-
stroyed.

GALA DEMONSTRATION
BIerlot Is compIimented for His Pluck
Many Airships Boueht-ZepPelin
Meets with Accident at
BueIzlg
tBy Associated Press.1

RHEIMS, France, Aug. 90.-"AVia-
ton week" came to its official close to-
day with a gala breakfast given by the
committee of organization in honor OF
the aviators. There were 500 guests,
and intense enthusiasm in the matter
of the wonderful success of the week
was manifested.
Bleriot attended with his arm in a
sling, q result of his accident yester-
day, and Glenn H. Curtiss, the Amer
lean; Henry Farman, the Englishman'
and Hubert Latham and Louis Paul
ham, the French flyers, received ova-
tions, the assemblage arising again and
again to cheer them.
Cortland f. Bishop, president of the
American Aero club, also was warmly
greeted.
In the name of the club and the peo-
pie of America, Mr. Bishop thanked
the committee for it's cordial reception
and treatment of the Americans, and
invited the aviators Of the world 70
come to America.
Naturally we will do our best to
keep this cup" Mr. Bishop said, but
if you will come-if Bleriot comes as
he has promised-I shall fear for the
result"
Appreciates Attitude
The Marquis de Polignac. president
of the committee, officially announced
the results of the awards and prizes,
and series of speeches followed. They
were all imbued with the prophecy that
aviation week" marked only the be-
ginning of the marvels that would be
witnessed in the conquest of the air.
Among the speakers were the mayor
of Rheims, M. Langlis, and M. Loreau,
president of the mixed aerial commits
sion.
The latter referred to the disappoint-
ment of France at the failure to retain
the international cup, the speed trophy
captured by Curtiss, and provoked u
hearty round of applause when he
added
"But I appreciate for myself and all
Frenchmen the remark of Bleriot when
he learned France had been defeated.
This was, I will go to America and
win it back"
The Marquis de Polignac announced
that a second series of contests be-
tween aviators would be held August
21, 1910.
The Marquis de Polignac announced
a gift of $4,000 to Latham by a Paris
newspaper "for his beautiful flights"
Latham accepted, not for himself but
on behalf of Levasseur the genius
whose motor has made the flights pos
sible.
Mr.. Curtlss did not speak.
The meeting has been an enormous
success financially. There were over
100000 paid entries to the aerodrome
yesterday, and probably 100000 moro

One UnduIatIon Extends Over 100
Miles and Knocks Pen from Two
seIsmographs-canal
Seems Intact
tBy Associated Press.l

PANAMA, Aug. 30-A strong earth
quake was experienced here shortly
after s o'clock this morning.
The people were greatly alarmed
but no serious damage has been re-
ported and no one was injured.
The administration buildings OF
both the government and the canal
commission here and at Ancon were
so severely shaken that the clerks
left their desks hurriedly for the
street. They soon returned, however
when it was seen no damage had been
done, and the first shock was not fol-
lowed by a second.
The quake was felt at Aguadulce, in
Cocle province, and at Pacora, province
of Panama, points more than loo
miles apart.
Colonel Goethals has received the
following official report of the earth
quake from Engineer Saville at Cube
bra:
"On August 2S, at HOS a. M, the
sesmograph recorded a disturbance.
The Ancon observer reports that he
also was sensible to a movement and
he believes he was conscious Of a
rumbling noise.
"At o'clock this morning the seis-
mograph here recorded a severe
shock, but the pen was knocked from
both the 100 X instruments. The
shock was noted in several stations
across the isthmus, and at Alajuela, in
Culebra, it was Independently noted by
me and the principal observer.
There is nothing as yet to indicate
that the Panama canal was damaged
by the quake. Special inquiry is being
made in this direction and a report
from the canal commission is ex-
Dected,"

FORESTRY DISPUTE
aEcRETARY OF INTERIOR MUST
SUBMIT REPORTS
Assistant In Commerce and Labor De-
partment Reslgns-Exeeutlve's
Trip to Mexico Discussed
with Knox
[By Associated Press.l

n EVERLY, Mass, Aug. S0-Secre-
Is tary of the Interior Balltnger will
~ make a hurried trip here to see
President Taft as soon as he can dis
pose of some important matters in
Washington.
Mr.. Ballinger notified the president
today that he would endeavor to be in
Beverly within ten days. President
Taft said there was no particular mat
ters he desired to take up with MIR.
Ballinger.
1t is understood, however, he has
called on the secretary of the interior
for certain reports regarding transac-
tions that have figured In the forestry
controversy.
Mr.. Taft announced that a successor
to Ormsby McHarg, assistant Eecre-
tary of commerce and labor. has been
chosen, but no announcement will be
made until it is learned that the man
the president has IN mind will accept
the office.
Secretary Knox discussed with the
president today the details of his meet
ing with President Diaz at FL PasO,
October 16
Will Go to Juarez
After receiving President Diaz on
American territory, President Taft viii
cross the international bridge and re-
turn the visit at Juarez.
Mr.. Taft then will return to the
United States for a period OF rest and
later in the evening will go again to
Juarez to attend a banquet rendered
by the Mexican government.
Among other announcements today
was the selection of Henry Hoyt, form
er solicitor general, as counselor of the
state department
The counselor will have supervision
over the negotiations of treaties.
Secretary Knox also took up with
the president the organization of the
new far eastern bureau.
1t was stated several days ago that
Edward T. Williams. the United States
consul general at Tien Tsin. had been
selected for this work in this bureau.
Today Mr.. Knox announced that
Ransford Stevens Miller, jr., Japanese
secretary and interpreter of the Amer
ican legation at Toxic, would return
to the United States to enter the new
department.
To Resign Office
That Ormsby McHarg, assistant Sec
retary of commerce and labor, believes
his recent interview regarding conser-
walton policies, has not embarrassed
President Taft or his administration;
that he is ready to step from office
Immediately If such should be the con-
struction placed upon his attitude of
the method for preserving the for
ests. and that the views which he has
expressed are his own, without any
reference to his official position, seems
to be a summary Of the situation which
has created so much discussion since
Mr.. McHarg's original interview.
Mr.. McHarg said today that Secre-
tary Nagel knew him well enough to
place the proper construction on the
sentiment he had expressed and to
know that he would do nothing to en-
barrass either the president or his i'm
mediate superior.
Mr.. McHarg seems to consider his
published interview does not in any
way alter the relations which have ex
listed since he accepted the assistant
secretaryship of the department of
commerce and labor.

A'A in Monterey up to nightfall, 1000
is now the official estimate Of the num-
ber who lost their lives throughout the
valley of the Santa Catarlna river.
The number of homeless, many desti-

story Of the appalling disaster becomes
known.
People who were saved from the flood
of Saturday morning had been without
food until today, when they were sup
piled with a small amount Of bread
and beans.
Once on the south side OF the river,
evidences of the terrible destruction
wrought by the flood were seen on
every side.

Gars;s Act Will
Be- fit Schools.

At a recent session Of the general
assembly there was an appropriation
of $50, 900 for the development of the
high schools Of the State, and $4,000
to carry out the provisions Of the Gar
ris common school law. The State
board has been called to frame the
necessary regulations for the expendi-
ture of the money. The mostimport-
ant Of these requirements will be rel
ative to the expenditure of the funds
provided for under the Garris act.
In certain counties, where the
schools in the rural districts are now
run for, say so days in all, the Gar
ris bill will apply, and the require
ments will be plain but exact. The
regulations will provide that before
any one OF the rural schools can re-
ceive any part Of the fund it most
first place the portion to be raised by
the patrons in the county treasury,
and it must be absolutely to the credit
of the school fund. In other words,
if rural school has run for say so
days and the teacher is paid $50 per
month, if the patrons of the school will
raise among themselves and place in
the county treasury $50 in cash, then
and then only will there be available
from the new fund $50 with which to
pay for teaching. The $50 is not in
tended to be available until after the
sum raised by the patrons has been
expended.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could
be ayoided some of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
Of. A cold often forms culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. Consump-
ton, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet
fever, four Of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are Of this class. The
culture bed formed by the cold favors
the development of the germs of these
diseases, that would not otherwise find
lodgment There is little danger, how
ever, of any of these diseases being con-
tracted when good expectorant cough
medicine like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t cleans out these
culture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs Of these diseases.
That is why this remedy has proved so
universally successful in preventing
pneumonia. 1t not only cures your
cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of
contracting these dangerous diseases.
