SEVEN LITTLE ONES BURN.
Rest Of $50 Children in Home March
Through Fire to Safety.

New York, Sept. 1.-That seven
little children, inmates of St. Malich's 8
home for children, at Rockaway park,
L. l., were suffocated in fire which
destroyed portion of the home last
night, was discovered by firemen today
while digging in the ruins. There
were $50 children in the institution,
which is conducted by the Sisters of
st. Joseph, of Brooklyn.
Nearly all the dead were under five
years old. The portion of the dormi-
tory in which they slept was directly
over the laundry, where the fire was
discovered about o'clock last night.
Three hundred and fifty small children
were in their cots on the third and
fourth floors of that wing, and some
of the older children were attending
prayers in the chapel.
AS the alarm sounded the older
children marched from the chapel to
the board walk along the beach and the
attendants began carrying the little
children from the floors above. Fire
men assisted in searching the building
and found few children lingering in
the halls too frightened to leave the
building, but the rescue work had been
conducted with such dispatch and good
order that it was believed until today
that all the children were out of the
building. The Hebrew home, nearby,
with a large number of inmates, was
saved, all its occupants escaping.

CROWD OUT WHITES.
Hundreds of Japanese Find Employ
ment in California.

Marysville, CAL, Sept. Especial
Agent Pierce, of the bureau of labor
and statistics, is in this valley gather
ing labor statistics relative to Japan
ese invasion. He spent couple of
days at Chico and found conditions
fairly good, there being comparatively
few Japanese in that section. In this
section, however, there are hundreds
of japanese engaged in all pursuits,
and the japanese population of this
county is large.
The Japanese are employed extern
sively in the orchards and fields and
have in many instances purchased or
leased vineyards and orchards. There
are several Japanese employment
agencies here doing thriving busi-
ness. 1t is estimated that there are
over thousand japanese in this Sec
tion and more are coming daily.
Every Japanese here is employed
steadily, while there are few white
men who are not working, principally
because they have an aversion for
work. Labor is scarce and the Japan
ese are filling places that it is impossi
BILE to get white men to take.

WATER SWEEPS RAWHiDE.
CIoudburst in Nevada Hills Is Cause
Of Disaster.

" SISdStSts
Rawhide, New, Sept. 1.-Squatter-
town, settlement just south of Raw
hide, was swept by 10-foot wall of
water following a cloudburst in the
hills to the north last night and 130
buildings were partially or completely
destroyed.
1t is reported that two women and
four children are missing, but up to a
late hour it was impossible to secure q
verifcation of this report, as every
thing isyin darkness and confusion.
The cloudburst occurred on the sum-
NIT of low hills to the north of the
camp.at 6 40 last evening. In few
moments a three-foot wall of water
was pouring down the slope, covering
three miles from the summit to Main
street, with speed of railroad train.
The flood rushed into the street,
which lies in a hollow and forms a
general drainage channel, and every
business house on the east side was
flooded from a depth of from one to
four feet.
Several structures were torn from
their foundations and foated some
distance down the street, while the
crest of the food was covered with
furniture, animals and all sorts of de-
bris.
Gathering force as it poured down
the channel, the flood swept into Squat
tertown, half mile further down. The
water formed wall 10 feet high as it
crashed into the structures, overturn-
ing them and demolishing them. The
work of devastation went on in the
night Before the wave had passed,
500 people were homeless and their
property was piled in tangled heap in
the basin at the foot of National hill.

Sheep's Vein Put in Man.

Paris, Sept. 1.-Dr. Doyen on Au-
gust 9 successfully transplanted a vein
from live sheep to the leg of man
suffering from arterial aneurism. The
circulation was thus restored and the
patient now has completely recovered.
The vein transplanted was 10 inches
long. DR.. Doyen, who is attending
the medical congress at Budapest, will
communicate to the congress the de-
tails of this extraordinary operation.
This is the first time, it is said, that
an organism of a lower animal has
been transplanted to human being.

TALE OF MEXICAN
DEAD INCREASES
Authorities Now Place Loss of Life at
Two Thousand.
Bodies of 800 Have Been Recovered
and Buried-No Americans Are
Missing-Homeess and Destitute
Estimated at 5000 to 10000
Other Towns Feared For.

Monterey, Mexico, Aug. 31.-With
300 bodies recovered and buried in
Monterey up to nightfall, 1000 is now
the estimate of the city authorities Of
those who lost their lives throughout
the valley of the Santa Catalina river.
The number of homeless, many of them
destitute, is placed between Is, 900 and
10000.
The Santa Catalina river at Monterey
has subsided sufficiently to permit
passage into the district lying to the
southwark. People who had been saw
ed from the flood of Saturday morning
had been without food until today,
when they were supplied with small
amount of bread and beans.
Once on the south side of the river,
evidences of the terrible destruction
wrought by the food were seen on
every hand. Five blocks of the dis
trict were as though they had never
existed and in the remaining portion
bodies were being taken from the ruins
and inferred by a party of gendarmes
sent across for the purpose.
At o'clock 400 bodies had been re-
covered and buried on the hillside south
of Santa Luisio. The same number of
bodies were inferred yesterday.
Thus far no Americans have been re-
ported lost. Reports from down the
river say many bodies have been recov-
cred, but there are many that will nev-
er be found. The bed of the river is
filled with sand. The authorities are
doing all in their power and the gov
ernment has sent $50, 900 for the relief
of the sufferers. Contributions have
been received from San Antonio and
New York firms who have agencies in
this city.
Many houses have fallen from the
effects of the continuous rains which
have occurred during the 72 hours end
ing at IL O'Clock Sunday. During this
time 21 p inches of rain fell in Monte
rey and up to the Santa Catalina can
yon.
One of the buildings destroyed was
the San Francisco church, which was
built in 1852. The barracks of the rur-
ales was washed away and all military
equipment was lost.

Scientific Value is High.

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 3.-The Brit
ish association for the advancement of
science at its national meeting showed
great interest in the report that DR..
Cook had reached the North Pole. Col
onel Sir Duncan tombstone, declared
the expedition would be of the highest
scientific value if scientific observations
were made by qualified men. C. H.
Chisholm, professor of geography at
Edinburgh university, said magnetic
observations that could be made at the
pole would likely be among the most
valuable results of the day.

Small Claim Against Big Roads.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The smallest
claim for reparation ever filed with the
Interstate Commerce commission has
been presented by the Tyson & Jones
Buggy company, of Carthage, N. C.
The amount is 20 cents. The brief
consists of six pages of legal cap, in
which all the facts are set forth. In
December, 1907. the complaint AYERS,
the firm ordered iron wagon axles from
Wilpesbarre, Pa. The rate charged
was 81 cents per hundred pounds. The
complaint alleges that the proper rate
should have been So cents per hundred.
The shipment weighed about 1000
pounds. Six railroads were made de-
fendants-the Central of Georgia, the
Philadelphia & Reagin, the Cumber-
land Valley, the Norfolk & Western,
the Southern and the Aberdeen & Ashe-
boro.

Canadian Wood pulp Hit.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Rulings on
the administration of retaliatory pro-
visions of the Payne tariff law, directed
at the wood pulp and print paper in
dustry of Canada, were issued by the
Treasury department Friday. 1t is di-
rected that if any province forbids the
expectation of wood pulp, an additional
duty of one tenth of a cent per pound
should be levied on print paper valued
at cents per pound or less, which
comes from that province, and duty
of one-twelfth of cent per pound
should be assessed on mechanically
ground wood pulp coming from such a
province, and which will be otherwise
admitted free of duty under the general
provisions of the law.

Indian Mine Discovered

Hamilton, Mont, Aug. 31.-After a
search extending over quarter of a
century an old Indian gold mine has
been discovered by a hunter named
Shipman in Ravalli county. Twenty
seven years ago Indians were regular
visitors in Hamilton with samples of
rich gold rock, which they exchanged
for food and provisions. All efforts to
locate their source of supply failed.
With two prospectors named Bennett
and Jones, Shipman began operations
and tests of the quartz have shown it
to be worth $4, 600 net per ton.

it will grow to considerable city. AS

CAR SHORTAGE FEARED.
Railroads May Be Unable to Handle
immense Business.

Washington, Aug. 31.-A heavier
business than has ever been known in
a single year is looked for by Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
commission for American railroads
during the present fiscal year.
The serious situation anticipated, not
only by Judge Knapp, but by other Off
cials of the commission, and by operat-
ing railroad men generally, is that
there may be a shortage of cars. The
crop prospects are considered so bright
that the transportation companies may
be taxed beyond their capacity to han
die the freight.
According to the figures submitted
to the commission, the railroads have
recovered from the low business pres
sure of year and half ago, and are
now handling almost as much traffic as
they did in the rush months of 1907
which was the banner year in Ameri-
can railroading.

CONGRESS TO ACT
ON CONSERVATION
All Sides Expect Investigation Into
BaIIinger.PinChOt Row.
Taft Will Ask for Laws to Aid Con-
servation-Forestry and Reclama-
ton to Be Bones Of Contention
More Liberal Coal Land Law 8
Wanted for Alaska.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Congress is
expected by all sides of the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy to investigate the
various phases of that row during the
session next winter, unless President
Taft should intervene and settle the
difficulty to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned before that time. This new
turn of affairs is not looked forward to
with relish by the friends Of the Taft
administration, who realize that the
issue probably will be forced upon
them in congress by the far Western
members, who have fought the Roose-
welt policies and who now believe they
have an opportunity to get more liberal
terms from the administration.
As matter of fact it is generally
understood here that the policy of the
administration will be to ask congress
to strengthen the laws of conservation
along the lines of the Roosevelt poll
cies. In that event Secretary Balling-
er at least will be placed in the position
of having to fight the friends who think
they are helping him by taking up the
cudgels against the forest and recla-
nation services.
That the Interior department and the
forestry and reclamation services will
be bones of serious contention in con-
gress this winter was strongly indicat-
ed today. The house committee on
agriculture controls practically all the
appropriations under which the forest
ry bureau operates, and hitherto it has
made it it's business to inquire specif-
cally into the workings of that bureau.
Likewise, thes.house committee on
territories two years ago requested the
Interior department to furnish congress
with data relating to Alaska railroads
and coal lands, but, after continuing
the investigation for short period,
the department gave it up. AS a
strong effort is to be made in congress
next winter to increase the amount of
coal land which may be held under one
management, it is believed almost un-
avoidable that congress or one of its
committees must investigate the con-
servation row.
