Need for the Scott Bill.

The Alabama mine horror ill which more than 100 lives are reported lost has had the effect of quickening ac- ton in congress for the passage of the measure creating a. bureau of mines in the department of the inter for. The appalling frequency of these mine disasters has convinced the gov ernment that it can no longer intrus t to private enterprise the sacred duty of safeguarding human life employed in the mines. Those private agencies have shown a woeful lack of efficiency in this direction and thousands of lives have paid the toll of n1isnana ge- ment or lack of management.
 The bill in congress which is con- structed on comprehensive lines which it is believed will give a large meas ure of relief and protection to the miners. Criminal negligence undoubt- edly has played a much larger part in these mine accidents than coro- ners' juries have disclosed or mine owners have admitted and this bill contemplates a reduction of the possi- biIity of this sort of reckless indiffer- ence to human safety. Of the bills enactment into law there seems now to be no doubt. It has only to go through the last process of a confer ence and to receive the presidents s signature and will. it is understood, encounter no obstacle In that course- Omaha Bee.

MESSAGE FROM CROW
 INDIAN MISSION FIELD
Given by Rev. William Petzholt of Montana at Central Baptist Church.

A message from the Crow Indian mis- sion field, delivered by Rev. William Petzholt of Lodge Grass, Montana, on Thursday evening. was of unusual in- terest, as the missionary told of the transformation in lives accomplish ed by the influence of Christianity at the Central Baptist praper meeting.
 After singing, led by George A. Fur her, the opening prayer was offered by Rev. E. w. Potter of Jewett City. and the visiting missionary was introduce ed by Rev. P. c. Wright, who said that he had been intensely impressed by Rev. MT Petzholt's story of the Crow mission field, which he had heard while on the train coming home last week from the Laymens conference in Chi cago. and had secure his promise to speak here.
 In speaking of the Indians. Rev. Mir. Petzhoh said there were 12,00o. 900 in North and South America, and that, contrary to general belief. they were not a decreasing race. There are 300,- oo0 in the United States, and their numbers have increa sed by 10000 in the last ten years, but it is a sad con- nentary on the Christian church that while they have been sending mission aries to all parts of the world for over 100 years, there are still 54.oo0 Indians in the United States to whom no n1is- sionaries have been sent
 While the Cherokees, Navajo and Sioux show every evidence of civiliza-
 
 lowest round of the ladder. He told of the wall of tribal custom against which the missionary runs in many instances, and said that degrading sin was the prominent factor in their lives, among which he mentioned the ab- sence of sancity of the marriage rela- tions and the great prevalence of un- cIeanly conditions and diseased lives.
 He related many affecting instances of the lives of even the fiercest and most bloodthirsty of the Indians transformed by Christianity. and told how the mission was engaged in res cue work for the Indian. who for years has been crippled mentally. morally and physically by the treatment he has received. His mission station is in the Crow reserva tion. which is about 70 by 90 miles. and he has two out stations. He said that the progress was enough to make all those inter ested thank God and take courage for the future.

LOVE FOR infant
LURES TO DEATH
Young Father, Hurrying to Get.
Home to Babe, Grasps Live
Wire and Is Killed

Anxious to return to his home and
caress his 4-months-old baby, James
Robinson, % years old, an electrician
living at Florence station, just be-
yond the city limits, grasped a wire
carrying 500 volts of electricity to
swing himself to the ground from a
travelling crane at the Union Tool
company plant at 645 Mateo street
shortly after o'clock last night and
was so badly injured he died in a short
time. He was hurled from the plat
form with great force. Gustaf Ahl-
strom, 2S years old, of 532 Gladys ave-
nue., who was assisting Robinson,
braced himself and caught the inert
body as 1t fell.
Robinson, in an unconscious condi-
ton, was taken into the office of the
company and an effort was made to
resuscitate him. The endeavorS prov
ing of no avail the police were notified
and the unconscious man was hurried
to the receiving hospital.
On arrival at the hospital the police
surgeons Immediately examined the
unfortunate man and pronounced him
dead. When they made this an
nouncement, Ahlstrom, VINO was bend
ing over the body of his friend, emit
ted a piercing shrek and fell to the
floor unconscious.
hospital ward When he recovered
consciousness and again was told that
Robinson was dead, he became hys-
terical and it was nearly an hour be-
fore he was in condition to Ieave the
hospital.
Robinson was working on the travel
ing crane, which is operated by a sew
en- horse power motor, the motor de-
irving its power from a low overhead
wire carrying 500 volts. When the
whistle blew for the employees TO quit
work, he evidently thought the power
had been shut off and grasped the
wire to swing to the ground, short
distance below. Ahlstrom aad pre-
ceded him to the ground and was
directly beneath the crane when he
saw Robinson shoot into the air. Ahl-
strom, who is a giant in size, braced
himself and caught Robinson as he
fell.
The body will be removed to local
undertaking establishment and the cor
oner will hold an inquest to nix the
responsibility for the accident.

NEW MARK SET IN
HARB0R PROGRESS
First Big Steamer Docks in Deep
Water Outer Basin at
San Pedro

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 16.-A new mark
was set in the history of harbor devel-
opment this morning when the steamer
Shasta docked at the wharf of the out
er Harbor and Dock company on the
Miner fill. Never before has steamer
docked in the deep water outer harbor.
She will discharge $50 piles here and
Lumber company with the rest of her
cargo.
A few weeks ago the first wharf in
the outer harbor was completed on the
east channel of the Miner concession.
1t is only a small part of the develop
tion so that lumber and machinery to
be used in the improvement of the 1853
acres on the concession might be un-
loaded here without extra handling.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
remaining SO0G feet of wharf on the east
channel, and within few months the
steamers of the American Hawaiian
line will probably be docking there with
big cargoes of freight from the Allan
tic, via the Tehuantepec route, for Los
Angeles wholesalers. TheSe steamers
now discharge their freight at San Di-
ego, but as soon as deep water and
wharf facilities are provided here the
business will be transferred to this
port.
Fifty years ago freight was dis
charged in the outer harbor, but it was
adj transferred to lighters and brought
inside. This was before there were any
harbor improvements The breakwater
had never been dreamed of, and in the
inner harbor there was only few feet
of water. Freight was discharged at
both Wilmington and San Pedro from
lighters until the railroad was extended
to San Pedro Since then vessels have
discharged direct from docks in the in
ner harbor to cars.
With the improvement of the outer
harbor with modern wharves and IA
cilities for handling barges, vessels that
cannot now come into this port will be
accommodated here.

Man POISONED; DIARY
SHOWS FEAR OF MURDER

VENICE, Aug. 16.-Albert ]. Fran
cisco, 523 Maple avenue, Los Angeles,
was found unconscious at midnight in
the gutter in front Of the Gondolier
hotel on Windward avenue. He
seemed to be suffering from some vio-
lent poison. He was rushed to the
emergency hospital, where he died at
/ o'clock this morning without regain
ing consciousness. =. An unfinished en-
try In his diary indicated that he
feared he would be poisoned. The note
said:

not be true to her. She has evidently
found out that have been going with

friends watching to see If played

a drink 1 refused because I thought
he might dope or poison me-
The note is unfinished and, taken in
connection with the mans condition,
suggests that he met. the fate he
feared. Nothing is known regarding
the man by the authorities here. He
had been seen about Venice for sew
eral days.
In the diary is the name Of e. r.
Francis, evidently a brother Of the
dead man. His address is 240 Second
street, San Francisco, and there is a
request that he be notified in case of
any accident to the owner of the diary.
The city address directory does not
give the name Albert ]. Francis. A
rumor that he was an employe of the
III. Jevne company could not be veri-
fed because of the lateness of the hour.
