Delegates to Portland Convention In
duIqe in Keen Discussion-Old
Bylaws Adopted

PORTLAND, Ore, June 2S.-Prac-
tically the whole morning at the North

It provides for a tangible working

the constitution of the societies so that
they shall conform to the bylaws
adopted at the conference was the
point particularly debated by the dele
gates, but eventually the report was
adopted in toto.

DIFFICULT RESCUE
MADE IN TIDE RIP
LIFEBOAT UNABLE TO REACH
MAN IN DISTRESS
Swimmer Saved by Men Who Launch
Skiff from Pier-Guards Make
Heroic Attempts to
Get Him

LONG BEACH, June 2S.-Alec OAR
man, a Swede, was picked up in the
surf this afternoon by Cam Richards
and Mark Long, who had gone out
from the pier to rescue him. The sea
was wild today, the breakers towering
to an unusual height and fierce tide
rips prevailing.
Lffesavers Faila and Ebrite had kept
a close watch along the beach In front
of the bath house, warning bathers
against going out too far, but Darman
entered the water near Hotel Virginia,
and when the guards first saw him he
appeared on the crest of breaker far
out from shore and in the midst of
tiderip.
A heroic battle against odds followed,
the lifesavers attempting TO take the
bath house boat through the prodigious
breakers. Time after time the craft
stood upright in the angry combers,
and the thousands of spectators along
the beach cheered as the boat righted
itself and the guards bent to their oars
again. The boat was capsized finally
and Falla was injured on the head and
knee by being struck by the craft.
In the meantime another boat was
launched from the pier and reached the
bather.

BOMB EXPLOSION
BATTLES POLICE
CAUSE FOR OUTRAGE REMAINS
UNEXPLAINED
BELIEVED TO BE RESULT OF
GAMBLERS WAR
Telephone Employees Now on Strike
Are Also Under Suspicion as
Throwers of Alleged
Missile

CHICAGO, June 2S.-The cause of the
explosion which last night wrecked a
telephone exchange in the heart of the
city and did damage to porperty esti-
mated to exceed 100000 and inflicted
injuries which may be fatal to one man
and slightly wounded fourteen others
is still unexplained. The police are un-
able to determine whether it was the
work of persons desiring to harm the
telephone company or another of the
series of bombs which have marked
the progress of what is known as the
gamblers war" A number of tele-
phone employees are now on a strike,
and the police incline toward the be-
lief that this has some connection with
the explosion. The principal damage
was to the conduit.
Fifteen cables, controlling $4,000 tele-
phones, were torn, twisted or severed
by the explosion.
One of the police theories is that
the telephone company's refusal to per-
nit its wires to be used in the trans
mission of bets on races has brought it
under the ban of the gambling frater-
nifty, who may have had hand in the
thirty bomb explosions that have
thus far baffcd solution. Few build
ings within a radius of a block escaped
damage.

URGES ADDITION OF FOUR
MEN TO POLICE SERVICE
Chief Favour Asks Commission to
Raise Salary of Every Man
on the Force

PASADENA, June 2S.-Urgipg an
increase in the police force of four
men, two taking the places of De-
tective Sergeant Joseph Schultz, re-
Gently promoted from the ranks, and
Patrolman Jack Slade, killed by a
Santa Fe train. and advocating the
raising of the salaries of the entire
force, Chief of Police Favour this
afternoon turned in to the board of
city commissioners the recommended
lions of his department for the year
to come.
His recommendations, if accepted.
will increase the pay of every official
on the force and establish three grades
of patrolmen, one to get $75 a month,
another to get $50 a month and the
third to get $S5 a month after three
years service. The increase in pay is
urged to attract to the force the best
of material and to hold firm in their
allegiance to the city the men who are
already on the force.
The recommendations of this and of
other departments were discussed in
secret session by the city commission
ers this afternoon and it is probable
that several other meetings will be
held before decision is made.

DATA ON PERRlNE
TRIAL WITHHELD
SENATE'S REQUEST DENIED BY
WICKERSHAM
TRIAL PENDING is REASON GIVEN
FOR REFUSAL
Papers Requested in Connection with
DevIin's Reappointment as United
States District Attorney
by Taft
tRy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Attorney
General Wickersham refuses to send to
the senate the file in the department
of justice relating to the trial OF Dr.
E. B. Perrine, charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government in the Call
fornia timber land cases.
This data was demanded in connec-
ton with the nomination of Robert L.
DeVlin to be United States attorney
for the northern district of California
The senate committee on judiciary TO-
day decided to put OVER the DeVlin
nomination until the next regular ses-
sion of congress.
ut would be inexpedient to supply
the information" reported Mr. Wicker
sham to the senate, as the Perrlne
case is still subject to trial"
Several members of the judiciary
committee express dissatisfaction. The
committee decided it would not now
be wise to become involved in con-
troversy with the department of JUS
tice The appointment of Mr.. Devlin
will be necessary if he continues to
serve as district attorney after the pres
ent session adjourns.
Members of the committee assert
that the information will have to he
produced if President Taft reappoints
Devlin and the nomination comes be-
fore the committee for action next
session.
Devlin prosecuted one case against
Perrine, resulting in conviction. The
superior court reversed the case and
remanded it for a trial on the ground
that periured testimony had been ad-
mitted. The chief opposition to the
confirmation of Devlin relates to his
failure to bring action against the al
legged perjured witness. Members of
the senate committee have criticised
former Attorney General Bonaparte be-
cause he ignored the recommendation
of Mr.. Harr that proceedings against
Perrine be not pressed. The same
criticism is now directed against
Wickersham. Members of the Cali
fornia delegat ton declare that Devlin
undoubtedly will be renominated by
Mr. Taft

AT COST OF LIFE
PI0CHE-KING SHAFT SCENE OF
TRAGEDY
Break in Machinery in Nevada Leaves
Blasting Party Above Dynamite.
Workman Cuts Burning
Fuse

SAN BERNARDINO, June 2S.-Word
reached here today that Doc McCloud
lost his life yesterday in an explosion
at the bottom of the Pioche-K King min
ing shaft at Phoebe, New. The miner
with several companions, had put in
q number of discharges of dynamite,
and lighting the fuses, were on their
way to the surface in the hoist, when
something went wrong with the ma
chinery and they were imprisoned
eight feet above the explosive. Nc
Cloud taking his life into his own
hands, leaped to Nthe bottom of the
shaft and commenced cutting the
fuses, of which there were nineteen,
hoping in this way to reduce the force
of the explosion. He had cut ten when
the balance discharged, the heavy
charges of dynamite blowing McCloud
to pieces. The other miners were
somewhat injured, but would probably
have been killed had McCloud not per-
formed his act of heroism.
