NEW HAVEN WRECK.
The Engineer and Fiagman are
Charged with Causing Death.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. a. 4.-August
B. Miller, engineer of the White Noun
tain Express, and Charles H. Murray,
fiagman of he Bar Harbor Express, the
two trains involved in the fatal North
Haven wreck on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad Tuesday
morning, in which 2l persons lost their
lives and number were injured, were
formally placed under arrest by Coroner
Mix late tonight charged with having
'criminally caused the death of Royal
H. Hotchkiss," one of the victims of
the disaster. They were both placed in
So, 900 bail under coroner's warrant,
effective until "a hours after the coroner
has rendered a verdict in the inquest
into the catastrophe which he began IN
private today.
Bail for Miller was furnished by the
local Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and Firemen. Friends of Muir
ray, who does not belong to any rail-
road organization, it is said, are max
ing efforts to raise the required sum.
Both men who have been detained by
the coroner in the county Jail since the
day of the wreck as material witnesses
were arrested after they had given tes-
timony at night session of the inquest.
The pair, who, it is said, have told wide
the accident, were examined separately.

AREOPLANE ACCIDENT.
Aviator Schmitt Loses His Life at
Rutland.

Rutland Sept. 8. The cause of the
areoplane accident yesterday which
caused the death last night of George j.
Schmitt of this city and serious injury
to Assistant City Judge j. Dyer SPELL
man of this city, his passenger, has not
yet been determined. Schmitt gave no
ante mortem statement to clear up the
matter, and Spellman is still too i'll to
talk about the accident. He has many
cuts and bruises, but his most severe
injury is serious burn on his back.
He will be in the hospital for some time.
Schmitt said to his brother, Charles,
lust before his death: 81 don't know
what the matter was. 1t was not my
fault and it was not Dyer's." Persons
who saw the machine plunge 100 feet
to earth after careening for some Sec
onds, say that the noise of the en-
gine stopped just before the aeroplane
began to tilt and that it started again
while the airshp was on its downward
course. The engine was running when
the two crumpled passengers were TAX
en- from the wreckage. On the field
over which the machine flew new iron
bolt was picked up. 1t is believed that
this may have fallen from the engine,
being primarily responsible for the acci-
dent.
Schmitt had promised his mother that
he would quit aviation at the close of
the Rutland fair tomorrow. He was
to have encircled Mount Killington to-
day, a space having been cleared near
the foot of the mountain so that he
could land and take dinner with friends
in camp there, returning to the fair
grounds in the afternoon.

THE OLD WOODEN SHIP.

The English navy of the latter half
of the eighteenth century is especially
Interesting. not only because it was
then approaching the height of its
renown as mighty engine of de-
struction but because ont of the COM
plex customs and usages in vogue
then have been evolved the present
day standards of all navies.
one has only to rummage a very
little among the splendid archives of
nation given TO preserving it's his
tory to realize how an-important. how
engrossing, was the floating de-
fense of the England of that period
TO the man in the street as we'll as to
the lord in his castle. The one never
knew when he would be rudely
snatched away from his home, the
other when his castle might be taken
from him.
The necessity of the times demand
ed harsh measures. 1t was no phan-
tom German airship in the sky then
but very real France which up to
Trafalgar boldly threatened invasion,
Those We're literally days of wars and
rumors of wars; of immense fleets
afloat and building, calling incessant-
ly for recruits: and the profession of
fighting sailor was one of active
employment In that century also the
British navy found itself and abuses
began to disappear. 1t became the
standard then as 1t is today--a posi-
tion due to a people wise enough to
spend at one time four-fifths of the
public revenue upon its floating de-
fense.
Ever since the time of William the
Norman's landing at Hastings, Britain
has always relied on its sea service
to repel the invader by destroying
him abroad. 1t must be confessed
this scheme succeeded fairly well,
for somehow those old ships which
snatched their power from the tenn

terms eventually found their quarry

THE EXCELLENCE OF SUNSHINE,

Mr.. Rockefellers recent approval
of sunshine. which to many doubtless
appeared bromidic in its obviousness,
had behind it the weight of science.
For the suns rays are natures uni
versal disinfectant and purifier. They
destroy the germs in whatever they
strike, much as they drive the multi
grubs from the mind that Is overcast
and full of sorrow. Further, sun
shine Is not only good for sore hearts
metaphorically but for sore eyes lit
orally. as is shown by DR.. F. Park
Lewis in an article published in the
transactions of the Illuminating and
engineering society.
I'm a mining district within an
hours journey from Pittsburg a few
years ago." writes DR.. Lewis. "the
homes of the miners were sordid and
unkempt, the streets being Uttered
and the back yards repositories fol
all sorts of rubbish. Prizes were Of.

DADDY HAS A SWEETHEART
AND MOTHFR Is HLR NAME

A new song different from the
trunpery music that unfortu-
nately floods this country, was
recently issued by Jos. w. Stern
and Co., New York. bearing the
dainty title Daddy Has A
Sweetheart And Mother Is Her
Name"
Although a popular song, it
differs from the present day ac,
ceptance of that term, inasmuch
as its success does not depend
upon vulgar suggestiveness, but
simply upon clean, wholesome
sentiment. One lady, who
heard charming Lillian Lor.
raine render it in one of New
York's prominent vaudeville
theaters, remarked, "It really
does one good to listen to song
nowadays. of which one need
not be ashamed to take copy

Since DR.. Best has attempted to de-
ny that in making his scurrilous at
tacks on the
slippery Weather members of the

Camp. had the guidance
of Col. J. H. Ra-
ley. attorney for the Pacific Power &
Light Co., the East Oregonian today
reveals the source OF its information
on the subject.
As will be noted from his signed
statement on the first page of this pa
per today. Marion Jack says this ih-
formation came to him without re-
quest from Mr.. Ferguson. city editor
or reporter on the very paper that
published Dr. Best's vicious scrib-
blings. He said Colonel Jim" had
either written or passed his opinion
on those literary efforts before those
things were published,
Therefore it will be seen that Mr..
Jacks information came from a very
direct source. 1t came from one well
qualified to speak and one actively
identified with the fight made upon
the water commission and the graviry
system. Mr.. Jack was certainly JUS
titled In accepting this information as
correct. So was the East Oregonian.
The denial by DR.. Best and person
al disclaimers made by Col. Raley,
make the situation more interesting.
j; is now question Of yeracity be-
tween Mr.. Ferguson and other gen.
tlemen of the orchestra. Did Mr.. Fer
guson strike false note or was he
merely frank and is he the one men,
ter who is really in tune while the
Others are off chord. 1t is a delicate
question and one for each ear to de-
termine for itself. Not being famii-
lar with that subterranean brand of
music to which the electric company
and It's allies have resorted in their
efforts TO thwart the new water sys-
tenn. the East Oregonian hesitates to
draw distinctions. Why should we?
II must be obvious to all, however.
that in some way sleeting weather has
reached the camp Of the "antis" there

ers who are careless and indiffer-
ent and don't half take care of
their animals ought to be run in
by the humane officers. It is a
shame and a disgrace to keep ami
mails and let them lie around cold,
and sick, and starving to death.
How much better it would be to
20 into the Denver market with
one car load of fine animals, get
the top prices, and clean up nice
bunch of money, than it is to have
train loads dying from want of
care and from starvation.
Now in regard to this hog chol-
era. You have got it and it is
your own fault. just remember
that. 1t is your own fault, you
are paying the price of neglect
Who can you blame for this hog
cholera except yourselves? In the
first place for allowing it to come
into the valley. There is money
in the hog business here if you
can get rid of the cholera and stay
rid of it. l plead with you with
tears in my eyes to keep the San
Luis Valley clean of hog diseases.
What are you going to do next
spring when the snow melts and
the water runs down the bitches
and out into your farm, and your
farm, and your farmi You are
going to seed the whole valley
down with this disease. 1t is moth
ing short of criminal neglect, and
all this time you have argued
whether it is cholera or not. Just
as if it made any difference as long
as the hogs are dying of a oonta-
gious disease.
"This disease is caused by germ.
You cannot have hog cholera with
out the germ any more than you
can have field of wheat without
planting wheat seed. Nothing can
produce cholera but the germ, ab-
solutely nothing but the germ.
There are 80 many ways by which
this germ is transmitted. Water
may run from one yard where
there are sick hogs INTO another
yard, and by this means the dis
ease is spread. A farmer whose
hogs are healthy goes over to see
his neighbours hogs that are sick,
walks all around among them and
then goes back and walks around
among his own hogs. A magpie
will find dead hog lying out in
the field and will pick his eyes
out. Inside of fifteen minutes that
same magpie will be in some trough
picking the feed over with other
hogs. There are 30 many ways in
which this thing can happen.
This thing has got big hold
here. The only thing you can do
under the circumsta noes is to do
the best you can, and that is to re-
form. l would not advise you to
clean up all the hogs in the valley,
although that would be fine
thing The next best thing is to
control this cholera as far as posi-
