Saves Fireman From Death

Although an Indifferent swimmer
and of frail physique, DR.. Francis
Harden, surgeon Of the Pacific Mail
company's liner Newport, risked his
life among the man-eating sharks of
Acapulco harbor to save a drowning
Mexican, a heavily built fireman, who
was rendered impotent to aid himself
by the mescal that had prompted him
to self destruction. The Newport ar
rived here yesterday. The rescue of
Alfonzo Quiros, the Mexican fireman,
was on the liners outward voyage.
Quiros had been drinking mescal,
and as the result of his overindulgence
in a beverage sometimes classed as a
fuel developed delirium tFemens. Bid
ding goodby 10 the world. the Mexican
leaped into the harbor and was drown-
ing when DR.. Harden dived from the
liners upper deck and managed to sup
port Quiros until shore boat arrived
and they were both picked up. Quiros
is very large man and DR.. Harden
was in state of physical collapse
when picked up. Acapulco harbor is
infested with man-eating sharks, but
of those the gallant medico says he
gave no thought when he jumped over
board.
DIR, Harden received the British HUI
name soriety's medal for saving life at
sea some years ago. He admitted that
the medal hanging in his stateroom
had been presented to him for saving
life, but refused to tell the details.

Overcoats

An everlasting fusillade on overcoats,
such as we keep UP, must be pro-
ductive ultimately Of great results. We
say this in most confident manner
as we know that this day we sell more
overcoats than any house or the Pacific
Coast. And why shouldn't we? We
have specialized overcoats-and with
a floor space Of $500 square feet de-
voted exclusively to this one article
we have gathered under single roof
a more complete line of overcoats than
is displayed by any house in America.
Here we show the ideas and sugges-
tions of the brains and genius OF the
best clothing students in America. As
for the makes, the styles, the quality
and the character Of these coats--wc
simply say they bear our label--in
itself written guarantee for every
thing that good clothing can imply.

AN OPEN AIR ALTAR
Revolving Ceremony Held by
Russian Sect at Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.-As a result
OF a revolving ceremony, the feature of
which was the frenzied dancing of men
and women before an open air altar, on
which the nude body of a dead girl was
exposed for four days and nights, the
city authorities have been asked by
eighth ward residents to expel the
members Of a Russian sect, which is
said to combine all the Objectionable
practices of the Doukobors and other
fanatical emotionaIists.
The ceremony complained of ended
last night, after the protests had be-
come so insistent that the members of
the sect were compelled to inter the
body of the girl, which had become
blackened by long exposure.
According to those who want the sect
driven out this peculiar mourning GUS
tom is not the only objectionable one.
They alleEc that many of the young
women 20 about during religious fes-
tivals with no more clothing on them

News From Foreign Countries
AEROPlANF SEIZED
TO SECURE FLIGHT
Bleriot Accused OF Breach OF
Contract for Series OF Com
tests in Germany

JOIIl.NNISTHAL4, Germany. Sept. %.
M Bieriot, accompanied by his wife, left
her yesterday for Cologne with the in
tention of undertaking series of
flights in his aeroplane at that city. He
was one of the scheduled competitors
for aviation work here. and today the
management OF the meet seized the
breach of contract.
The mana cement issued communi-
cation to the public saying that Bleriot
was paid $4,000 for five days work and
that he flew only three days. LIE Blanc,
pupil of Bleriot, has withdrawn from
all the contests on account of Bleriot's
dispute with the management.
The flying today was accompanied by
series of unfortunate incidents. The
machinery of Molon's aeroplane became
disarranged and fell, breaking one wing
an dthe propeller. Molon was not hurt
Hubert Latham wound a defect in his
motor while in the air and had TO
come down after going 100 YARDS
Henry Farman stayed in the air Tor
% minutes, but came down at the emu
of his seventh round.
Rougier and Latham competed this
afternoon in the duration, speed and
height contests. Rougier covered 4S
miles in hour 35 minutes. Latham
covered 421-3 miles in hour 20 min
utes. Farman flew 151s miles in 2S
minutes and Is seconds.
Besa, the Chilean aeronaut, after
many unsuccessful attempts finally
rose but his motor got out of order at
the end of the second round and the
aeroplane glided to the ground, one OF
the wheels being broken. The accident
was due to Farnan flying directly over
him, the motor causing strong. cur
rent, which struck the wings of Besa's $
machine and the aviator lost control.

VICTORIA SEALERS HAVE
GOOD SEASON IN NORTH

VICTORIA, 3. C.. Sept. 2s.-The
Canadian schooner. Jessie. the first of
the Victoria sealing fleet to return,
reached port yesterday with sea
otters and 542 sealskins of which 1s1
were taken in Bering sea.
The schooner's owners will probably
make a claim for damages against the
American government, following the
report of Captain Munro who states
that the officers of the United States
revenue cutter Bear boarded the
schooner June % and sealed her fire
arms.
The officers of the Bear had already
sealed the arms on the schooners
Peascawba and Thomas #. Payne.
Captain Munro claims that the action
was illegal.
The catch of the five Victoria sealers
up to September was $500 sealskins
and is otter skins.

So great is the demand for blue
serge suits that not only has
every clothing manufacturer in the
country raised the prices from 10 to
20 per cent, but orders have been sent
broadcast that orders can not and will

This demand will not decrease, but on

AMERICAN PROTEST
REPORTED IN JAPAN
Nippon's Treaty With China
Fails to Meet Approval in
Washington

TOKYO. Sept. ga special dispatch
from Washington to the Asahi declares
that the American government will
vention between Japan and China
whereby the former secured a mining
monopoly in Manchuria.
The dispatch further says that
America desired to secure an interest
in the monopoly and regards Japan's
matter as breach of good faith The
Manchurian convention is described as
a violation of the open door policy to
which Japan was pledged. The matter
has excited a great deal of comment in
official circles and the press. but the
whole story is denied on high author
ity.
Baron Kagora Takahira. who is gen
orally supposed to have been relieved
OF his post as Japanese ambassador to
the. United States on account of his
failure to make the Manchurian policy
of-his government pleasing to Wash
ington. was received in audience today
by the emperor and empress.
Formal Protest Denied
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The state
ment that this government has de-
cided to make a formal protest
against the treaties between China
and Japan is declared by COM
petent authority to be unfounded. 1t
is said to be doubtful whether Secre-
tary Knox has given the matter any
serious consideration.
The provision in one of the treaties
that China must consult Japan before
extending the present railway system
in Manchuria is not regarded with
acting such a pledge Japan is violating
that article in the Portsmouth treaty
whereby Japan and Russia agreed not
to obstruct any measure which the
Chinese government might take for
commercial development.
While Japan has arranged with
China for building railways in Man.
ehuria, for which Japan is to furnish
a part of the capital, the provision that
China shall consult Japan before build
ing any extension of the imperial Chi
nese railways practically precludes the
introduction of other foreign capital
for this purpose This provision is
probably the most Objectionable.
The provision whereby China grants
to Japan the exclusive right to operate
jointly with Chinese capitalists the
mines on both sides of the Antung-
Mukden and South Manchurian rail-
ways does not meet with approval here.
BY these concessions Japan would in
a large measure, it is said control the
mining resources of a very large part
of south Manchuria, which might
prove prejudicial to the interests of
the Chinese railways which may be
constructed later
