Washington, April 9.-Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, secretary OF the Interior
under Presidents Mckinley and Roose.
velt, died this morning, aged "a. He
had been critically i'll for several days.
Hitchcock contracted a severe cold
While In the west. His condition be-
came more serious, and he hurried to
Washington to place himself in the
hands of specialists, who had attend
ed him during his official career here.
He suffered from complication Of
kidney, heart and pulmonary diseases.
Ever since he reached here he, had
been confined to bed, and constantly
attended by physicians and trained
nurses. With him, at the home of his
son-in-law, Lieutenant Commander

Prosecuted Land Grafters.
The passing Of Hitchcock marked
the close of a career whose prominent
feature was the administration Of the
interior department that stirred the
western land problems as never be-
fore. Brought here from st. Peters,
burg, where he had served as ambas-
sador under appointment of Mckinley,
Hitchcock was almost Immediately
plunged into the vortex Of complica-.
tions growing out of vast frauds and
charges of fraud and counter charges
growing out of the requirement of
public lands in the western states.
Hitchcock directed the most sweeping
investigations. arousing the enmity Of
powerful political interests. That work
Is recalled today as one OF the most
unswerrving and relentless inquistions
in the annals Of government prosecu-
tions. He prosecuted the cases against
numerous men in public and private
business, including Senator Mitchell,
Of Oregon, who was convicted, and
died not long afterward: former Con-
gresham Binger Hermann, who
had served as commissioner general
Of the land office and who was ac-
quilted; former Senator Dietrich, Of
Nebraska; Representative Williams, Of
Oregon. and John A. Benson, mill
lionaire real estate broker Of San
Francisco.
Hitchcock was the target for attack
on the floors Of congress and in pro-
tests filed at the White House.

Stop Clocks to Complete
Work in Both.
Houses.
DISMISSED AFTER
36 HOURS SESSION
Pass Local Option, Direct
Primary, Employers
Liability.

BOISE, March S.-The Idaho legis-
lature adjourned at midnight after an
almost continuous session of SO hours.
The clocks were stopped in the house
and senate a few minutes before mid
night on Saturday. The most import
ant work of the legislature was the
passage of a county local option law,
a direct primary law and an employ
ers' liability act.
During the Sunday session recess
was taken several times to allow the
legislators to refresh themselves.
Pandemonium reigned in the house all
day. With its work practically COM
pleted and waiting for the senate to
finish work, an effort was made to Sc
cure reconsideration of defeated pet
measures, their advocates taking ad-
vantage of the absence of many lead
ers who were seeking rest. Such at
tempts resulted in drowning the
speakers voice, making him a target
for inoffensive missiles. The floor was
knee deep with paper The represen-
tatives then went to the senate gall
lery and threw thousands of bills on
the heads of the senators. Lieutenant
Governor SWeetser then cleared the
gallery. Over a hundred bills were
passed by the house and the senate on
Saturday and Sunday.

ST. PAUL'S TEACHER
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
Previous Illness, Combined
With Escaping Gas,
OvercOmes Her.

Stricken with a serious illness while

ton instructor in ST. PauPS school
for girls, was in a precariOuS condi-
ton up to this morning, when she was
able to leave her room, and had it
not been for the prompt action of Miss
Imogene Russell, one Of the students of
the institution. It is doubtful if the
physicians who were summoned could
have been successful in restoring the
instructor.
Miss Palmer had not been feeling
well, and shortly after luncheon Sal
urday signified her intention of TAX
ing a bath, in the hopes that it would
benefit her. One OF her cOmpanions
endeavored to dissuade her, but With
out avail and she went to the hath
room on the second floor. An hour
later when she had not returned, the
teachers became alarmed an1 went IL
the room, finding the door lOcke1, and
hearing peculiar gaar:ng sound; elna
mating from the interior. There was
no one in the building with sufficient
strength to break the lock, and for a
moment those acquainted with the
situation were almost panic stricken
Here was where Miss Russell came
to the rescue, and, making her exit
through an adjoining window, she
crawled over the roof to the bathroom
broke the window and unlocked the
door. Miss Palmer was lying in the
bath-tub, in a rigid position, with eyes
wide open and staring; the gas heat

had been heated, had been extinguished

PORTLAND WANTS
REDUCED RATES
Will File Suit Against LInes-Rail
roads Will Fight Spokane Rate
Decision.

PORTLAND, Ore, March Sit is
practically considered certain that
every possible legal obstruction will be
placed in the way of enforcing the
Spokane rate case decision by the rail-
roads of this territory While it can
not be learned definitely at present
if this step will be taken, nor what
processes will be resorted to, it is be-
lieved the railroads will fight the rate
order just made and at least delay its
effect to the utmost, even if it cannot
be defeated.
The Spokane rate decision was or
dered to become effective May /. This
is said by all to be practically impos-
sible. The readjustment and publlca-
ton of tariffs made necessary by the
decision. causing the checking over OF
all the rates to the territory affected
will take months.
1t is expected the commission will
consent to the postponement of the Ell
feet of the decision.

Had not the heater gone out, the eff

Gus, though the gas fumes in the room
were Well-nigh suffocating, and un-
doubtedly caused Miss Palmer's at

wise would have been.
The physicians who were called to
attend the patient are of the opinion
that, because of her weakened condi-
ton, the bath taken Immediately fol-
lowing a hearty meal, had the effect OF
making the patient still weaker, and
other developments, through some un-
forseen arrangement of chance, added
to the severity of the situation
Had it not been for the prompt ac-
ton Of Miss Russell in going to the
rescue of her instructor, it is consid-
cred doubtful if Miss Palmer could
have survived las the room was hlled

inhabitable. Although still weak from

BLIZZARD
Two Hundred Are Dead And
Millions in Property
Is Destroyed.
MUCH SUFFERING
THROUGH EUROPE
Traffic Is Cut Off And Little
Hope of Help for
Destitute.

VIENNA, March 8.-A total of 300
deaths from the blizzard which ragged
throughout Europe during the last
three days is a conservative estimate
on fatalities resulting from the storm
according to reports. Property valued
at millions was destroyed
The blizzard is one of the worst in
the history of this country and the suf-
fering is great throughout the empire
Many are reported to be dying and
are cut off from succor. Everything
possible is being done for the relief
of the sufferers but on account of the
terrible storm little can be accom-
plished. 1t is rrared that when the
gale and snow are over that many
more deaths will be reported through
out the country.
Everywhere traffic is cut off and
there is little hope of getting .cQmmun-
ication with outlying points for days
Poor people are huddled together like
sheep before a storm and are simply
awaiting the outcome, destitute and
helpless.
