MIGHT AVOID DEATH
BY VENTILATION
THOUSANDS OF LIVES COULD BE
SAVED YEARLY BY PROPER
VENTILATION.

Washington, April 3-An annual
saving of more than $4,000 lives, rep
resenting a reduction in the consump-
tion death rate from 20 per 1000 to
Is per 1000, would result from intel
ligent methods of ventilation and dust
removal in the United States. This
opinion is expressed in a bulletin is
sued today by the bureau of labor,
which says mortality from consump-
tion among workers in dusty trades is
from two to three times as great as
the general death rate from the dis
ease.
OF deaths from all causes among
males over Is years of age in the
United States, 14.S per cent are from
consumption, while according to re-
liable figures the death rate from the
disease among men engaged in dusty
occupations ranges from 24.S per cent:
from those exposed to vegetable fiber
dust, 21.2 per cent.
The occupation showing the highest
&C assumption mortality was grinders.
among whom 49.2 per cent of all
deaths were from that disease.

IS DEEPLY TOUCHED
BY NEWS OF DEATH

Washington, April 3.--Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley, U. S. N, re-
tired, who participated in the capture
of Admiral Cervera and his fleet, to-
night appeared deeply touched when
told of the admiral's death.
well, l am sorry to hear that Ger
vera is dead" he said. He was a
grand old man, brave and gallant
naval officer, and his death costs
Spain one of her most heroic naval
figures. When he attempted to sail
out of the harbor on that July morn
ing, Cervera undertook the only
course left to him. He acted as wisely
as any other could have done under
those conditions 1t was a case of
measuring his strength with that of
the United States, and he lost, losing
all save his honor. He was a man of
great courage and fortitude."

.DEST RUCT|VE FIRE
RENDERS MANY
HOMELESS
HALF A THOUSAND FAMILIES
ARE LEFT WITHOUT SHELL
TER AT FORT WORTH.

Fort Worth, Texas, April Scanned
by stiff wind, fire, which origi-
mated in a barn at Jennings avenue
and Peter Smith street, in the south
ern portion of the city this afternoon,
swept over an area 10 blocks in length
and seven in width, destroying prop
erty roughly valued at more than
$2,500,O00 and causing the death of one
person. The fire, which originated in
a fashionable residence district, was
beyond control within Is minutes and
was not checked until dynamite was
resorted to four hours after it started.
Assistance was rushed from Dallas
and Weatherford on special trains,
but the spread of the flames was not
checked until they had eaten their
way to the Texas & Pacific railroad
reservation on the east. On the south
the fire was checked at the Texas &
Pacific passenger depot, this steel and
stone structure forming a bulwark
that saved the wholesale district,
which at one time was in eminent
danger.
The Texas & Pacific roundhouse and
20 engines, the repair shop, four
churches, two public school buildings
and Walkers sanitarium were de-
stroyed. The other buildings destroyed
were residences, most of them new
and in the most exclusive section.
People living within a radius of
three blocks of the place where the
fire started had no time to save any
thing.
Herbert Stacy was fatally burned in
an endeavor to save his home, and a
fireman fell from a house top. J. ].
Newton of Krum, Texas, was killed
Rev. II. o. Cowan, assistant rector
of the Broadway Presbyterian church,
Is missing. The burned district to-
night is being patrolled by troops to
prevent looting, and it is estimated
that 500 families are homeless. Many
of these have gone to Dallas, where
shelter has been offered.

PROFESSOR VOICES
HIS VIEWS.
WRITES A HIGHER CRITICISM OF
THE BIBLE THAT is VERY
STARTLING.

Chicago, April 3.-Higher criticism
of the Bible, more startling at many
points than that advanced by Profes-
sor George b. Foster, is voiced by
tor in New Testament history and lit
erature in the University of Chicago
Divinity school, in a book on "the
teaching of Jesus about the future" is
sued today from the university press
Professor Sharman, in an exhaustive
consideration of the Gospel of Matthew,
Mark and Luke, reduced much of the
contents of the books to what he con-
siders garbled reports of Chrst's say
ings, false interpretations of Christ S
views by outside influence false mes
sages concerning future life and future
punishment and unauthentic tales of
Christ's life. He casts doubt upon the
chief tenets Of the orthodox church,
which he regards as the products of
wrong interpretations of the new testa-
ment.
That Jesus did not preach the doc
trine Of Heaven" and "Hell'' and the
DAY of Judgment" and did not COM
mission his disciples to preach the
Gospel are among the professors as
sertions. He divides the material of
the synopsis of the Gospel into What
Jesus probably said," WHAT the earli-
est editors of the Gospel thought he
said or would have liked to represent
him as saying" and What later edi-
tors thought it best to represent him
as saying"

MANY ACRES OF VALUABLE COAL
LANDS IN MONTANA TO RE-
VERT TO GOVERNMENT.
An IMPORTANT DECISION
Supreme Court Decides That One
Thousand Two Hundred Acres Of
Ground in Carbon County Must Be
Given Back to the United States
Worth Many Thousands of Dollars.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, April 3.--Unless set aside by
the higher courts the Northern. Pa
cfic Railway company's title to 1,120
acres Of coal land in Carbon county,
valued at $1,000 an acre, it is said, will
be null and void, under decree
handed down by Judge Hunt this
morning in the federal court in the
case of the United States against the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
the Rocky Fork Coal company and
the Northwestern Improvement COM
pany.
This is one of the most important
suits ever brought by the government
in Montana, and by Judge Hunts
opinion some of the most valuable
coal measures in the country will be
restored to the public domain.
The suit was brought to cancel
patent to these coal lands, which were
selected by the Northern Pacific in
December 1899, in lieu of certain lands
relinquished by it under the provisions
of the act of congress of March 2, 1899,
entitled, AN act to set aside a. por-
ton of certain lands in the state of
Washington, now known as the Pacific
forest reservation, as a public park, to
be known as the Mount Rainier ma
tional park The lands owned by the
Northern Pacific within the park are
declared to have been barren wastes,
unfit for timber, mineral or agricul-
ture, and in lieu of these the COM
pany selected valuable coal measures
in Carbon county.
The case depended upon the con-
struction to be placed upon section 8
of the act creating the park, which
authorized the company to select in
lieu of their Mount Rainier lands can
equal quantity of non-mineral public
lands, so classified as non-mineral at
the time of actual government survey
which has been, or shall be made, ly-
ing within any state into or through
which the railroad of said Northern
Pacific company runs, to the extent Of
the lands so relinquished and released
to the United States"

HEIR TO A FORTUNE
DIES IN DENVER CITY

Denver, April 3.-The Denver Post
today asserts that Philip Caine, known
as the shoe lace man because of his
having existed for years by the sale
of shoe laces and who died last Mo-
vember in ignorance of the fact that
he had been made heir to fortune
of 100000, was the cousin Of Hall
Caine, the novelist. Philip Caine lived
the life of a recluse in Denver and
none knew that he was relative Of
Hall Caine, until, it is asserted, the
relationship was established a short
time ago by attorneys engaged In the
settlement Of the estate of John Caine,
a brother Of Philip, who before his
death was a resident of the Isle Of
Man. The Isle Of Man is the home of
Hall Caine.

NEARLY THIRTY REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF HOUSE JOIN
PETITION MOVEMENT.
DIPLOMACY TO Be TRIED
Fearing Results of Demand for Vote
on Proposed Alterations in Bill, Op-
position Decides to Submit Petition
Asking for Certain Alterations in
the Payne Measure.

Washington, April 3.-Fearing that
the demands which they have made for
an opportunity to vote on some of the
principal schedules in the Payne tar
iff bill might result in changes which
they consider more disadvantageous
than the provisions now In the bill.
more than 80 republican members of
the house met today and agreed upon
the changes which they desired to
nave submitted in the form of COM
mittee amendments. At the same time
meeting of all the members of the
ways and means committee was in
progress to pass upon the amendments
which the sub committee of republi-
can members had submitted.
The committee will report about so
amendments, including those striking
out the countervailing duty on coffee
and the duty on tea.
Inferring that they would vote
against any rule to restrict amend
ments to the Payne bill unless the
changes they desire are provided by
the ways and means committee, the
republicans who met today decided to
send the following petition to Chair
man Payne:
To the republican members of the
ways and means committee:
The undersigned request your COM
mittee to present the following com
mittee amendments to the Payne tar
If bill:
An amendment providing for duty
of As cents ton of 1000 pounds on
coal and striking out the provisions
for reciprocity.
For duty of 25 cents ton on iron
ore.
For a duty of SO ton on pig iron
and scrap iron.
For duty Of 10 per cent on hides
THE amendment to the lumber
schedule to be confined to the pro-
viso.
Receive Support.
"A rule which will provide for the
above will receive our support"
1t was claimed by the leaders of the
movement that fully so signatures Of
republican members would be affixed
to the petition by Monday. The meet
ing of republicans was attended by
three of the members of the ways and
means committe; Representatives
Fordney Mich.), Cushman (wash)
and Gaines CIV. Va)
A number of those who attended the
meeting have contended that their de-
sire was merely to permit the offer
ing of amendments to the lumber,
hide, iron ore and coal schedules, in
order that there might be a vote on
them. That such vote might result
to-, -,
that the other changes sought might
be defeated, has become evident.

committee, the following were present
