SWALLOWING TEETH FATAL


A remarkable story was told at an
snouest held at Enfield, England, on
Mrs Kate Methuen. In 1908 she was
knocked off her bicycle and had four
false teeth and a plate knocked out
of her mouth. Two of the teeth and
part of the plate were found, but the
Others were not discovered. While
fastening her bootlace some weeks
ago blood suddenly flowed into her
mouth, and she subsequently entered
a hospital, where she died. A post
morton examination revealed the two
missing teeth and piece of the plate
fastened in the gullet Of the throat,
around which an abscess had devel-
oped. Death was due to blood poison
ing set up by the abscess.

ExTINGUISHER CAUSES FIRE

One of the most extraordinary
causes of fire ever recorded has to do
with the destruction of the warehouse
Of a match company in st. Louis. in
which a sprinkler tank, provided as a
means to extinguish fires, was the
means by which the blaze was started
The tank supports collapsed, and the
falling tank ignited the matches, with
resultant loss of 100000 The sup
porting structure of the tank, accord
ing to the fire reports, had been al
lowed to rust until the steel at places
was almost eaten through.

New Health Measure Presented
by Commission Has Ap-
prOval OF Civic Bodies

The new meat inspection ordinance
was forwarded to the supervisors by
the board of health yesterday. reviewed
and approved by the hospital and health
committee. and will be enacted by the
supervisors Monday.
The bill is the result of the efforts
of the board of health. the anti-tuber-
culosis association, the civic league and
other bodies interested; and it sup
planted the substitute" ordinance orig
inally brought forward by the health
commission in opposition to the meas
ure enacted by the Taylor board.
The new law provides that all meat
must be inspected and pass at the
standard fixed by the federal depart
ment of agriculture. 1t will admit
meat inspected in other counties where
such inspection service has been ap-
proved by the city board of health. 1t
admits meat having the federal stamp.

ject to reinspection, and provides that
all condemned meat shall be destroyed,
The hospital committee recommended
that the health board should be given
IL additional inspectors at S125 month

SILVER CURRENCY IN
NORTHWEST DOOMED:
Bankers Rebel Against Order
to Pay Expressage on Bullion

PORTLAND. July 13.-The United
States subtrea sury at San Francisco
has notified the Portland banks that
hereafter they viii be Obliged to pay
the expressage on silver coin from San
Francisco, amounting TO 81 on every
1000 Local bankers say they will
not pay the expressage, and if this
decision is adhered to it will mean that
silver as a medium of circulation in
the Pacific northwest will practically
be a thing of the past and the green
backs will be the principal medium OF
exchange on amounts over 81.
The notification from the subtreasury
came as q distinct shock to the Port
land bankers. It will have consider
able hearing upon the other cities of
the Pacific northwest, which have been
drawing on Portland banks for their
supply of silver when the quantity in
their home cities was not sufficient to
meet the demand.
For instance, when Seattle bankers
draw upon Portland banks for silver
the Seattle bankers have paid he eA-
pressage. amounting to so cents on
each $1,000. The Portland bankers now
argue that if they are compelled to
pay 81 expressage from San Francisco
IL would be Impossible for them to ship
silver to Seattle at cost of only so
cents on each $1,000

ADVANCED FREIGHT
RATES SUSPENDED
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Blocks General In
creases by Railways
Formal Announcement of Tariffs
to Be Affected Not Yet
Announced

WASHINGTON, July 13-By a for
NAL vote the interstate commerce COM
mission today determined to suspend re-
cent general advances in freight rates
made by railways.
The tariffs suspended in accordance
with the policy of the commission. for
the most part, are those recently filed
by the Western trunk line association
and by the carriers in eastern classifi-
cation territory, although some of the
tariffs were filed by individual roads
in other territories.
By arrangement with the president
and with the commission, the rail-
ways agreed to supplement their orig
inal advanced tariffs, which were to
have become effective about July /.
with the tariffs to become effective
August l. This postponement was to
enable the commission thoroughly to
examine it's authority under the new
railroad law. The understanding, at
the time. the agreement was reported.
was that such advances as We're general
in character and affected large inter
ests should be suspended pending an
inquiry into the reasona bleness of the
increases.
The vote taken by the commission
was rather on a line of policy to be
pursued as to suspension than upon
specific tariffs.
Now that the policy of the commits
sion has been determined, it will be
automatically applicable, in a sense, to
such tariffs as fall within its purview
1t is expected that within a day or
two formal announcement will be
made of the precise nature of<the com
missions policy, and, in a general way.
the tariffs that are to be affected by it.
Some advances contained in recently
filed tariffs undoubtedly will not be
suspended, but it is reasonably certain
that practically all the general freight
advances will be held up pending an
inquiry in the autumn.
In the multiplicity of freight tariffs
filed with the comnission-averag ging
600 or 700 changes in rates per day
the commission naturally will not exer-
else its authority to suspend except in
such instances as 1t is manifest the pro-
posed new tariffs might do serious in
justice to shippers. The authority will
be exercised only when extraordinary
conditions, in the view of the commits
sion, prevail.

Not Affected

The final official map of the Stockton
street tunnel assessment district has
been completed by Assistant City En-
gineer H. d. Connick and is now on file
with the board of public works. The
plan just completed covers one of the
most difficult problems yet handled by
the city engineers office, the line
changing more in a given number of
blocks than any other boundary line in
the city.
Owing to the jealousy with which the
law protects property that may be as
Sessed for district improvement pur-
poses, it was necessary to eliminate all
property from the district that would
not be directly benefited by a regarding

to this fact several maps have been
drawn and revised under the direction
of Connick, who has been in constant
consultation with Attorney Theodore
Savage of Dorm, Dorm & Savage, coun-

in the city. A committee of nine was
appointed to take the matter up and a
report of their work will be heard by
the organization at it's regular meet
ing next Wednesday.
There were over 40 men present at
yesterdays meeting, and after report
was heard from the advertising ex-
hibition which showed a satisfactory
profit, entire attention was devoted 10
the consideration of reorganizing on a
sound business basis.
A number of the members spoke on
the subject and the address of Doctor
Hibbard, a guest from the Los Angeles
association, was .listened to with in
terest. Doctor Hibbard stated that it
had come to his attention that during
December and January of each year u
great many wealthy eastern visitors
came direct to Los Angeles instead or
stopping at San Francisco. He at
tributed it to the fact that most or
them had been told of the points of
interest of the southern city, while San
Francisco was left in the background.
He remarked that If San Francisco
were properly advertised there would
be no question about drawing east
erners, as it had been his experience
that most of them avoided the city be-
cause they thought there was not
enough of interest to make visit north
worth while.
Among others who spoke were F. j.
Cooper, f. S. Nelson, S. p. Johnston, d.
Mayer and NJ. NJ. Barnet. They all ex-
pressed the sentiment that immediate
steps should be taken to draw attention
to San Francisco and to increase the
population by proper advertising.

tion committee were: S. P. Johnston,
