DOCKS ARE DESTROY
Ed BY THE FLAMES
Portland's Harbor Front Suffers
Most Devastating Confagration
in History.

Portland, Ore, March 13.-Port-
lands harbor front suffered the
most devastating conflagration in its
history early yesterday when two
mammoth grain docks, laden with
wheat, were destroyed, two large
vessels ruined almost beyond repair
and dozen buildings damaged.
Scores of Chinese, members of the
crew of the Royal Mail steam pack
ct Glenroy, had narrow escapes,
many of them jumping into the riv-
err in scant attire and being picked
up by crews from the fire boat Da-
vid Campbell and the harbor patrol
launch.
Four firemen barely escaped death
under the collapse of huge bulk
head and one fire fighter was SER
iously injured when carried down.
ward by crumbling timbers.
The two great wharves, Columbit
No. 2 and Montgomery No. /. are
nothing but charred piling and
smouldering grain.
The steamer Glenroy is an empty
shell, with all its inner works gone
and the steamer Cricket, with it's
cargo of 1000 barrels of asphalt,
was cut adrift and burned to the
waters edge.
The new Ferry hotel, a three
story frame building at Randolph
and River streets, was damaged, but
the fifty or more sleeping inmates
were aroused and made their escape.
The conflagration vas caused, It
is believed, by a cigarette butt
thrown away by some tramp who
had sought lodging in the shelter of
Columbia dock No. 2.

from Fresno, CAL, to the state of
Washington. Extracts from Dahl
strom's numerous books and pamph-

against him.
Edna Englund, who turned
against Dahlstrom because he show
ed a preference for her sister, Hill
da, was witness against the clergy
man. Hilda testified against him,
saying that she herself bought the
ticket on which Edna travelled from
Fresno. The mother of the girls,
who are young and attractive, was
a witness for the government.
According to William r. Byron,
special agent of the department of
Justice, Dahlstrom has married and
deserted a score of women in the
western part of the country since
1889. Bryon said he had in his rec

TRAVELLING MAN
IS KILLED At
FORT DODGE
John Fitzgerald, Said to be Des
Moines Resident, Falls Under
Train Wheels.

Des Moines, March 14.-Chief Of
Police Jenney yesterday morning re-
ceived telegram from T. H. Sulli-
van Of Fort Dodge, stating that
John Fitzgerald of Des Moines had
been killed on a train near that
city.
James Lavender, secretary to the
chief, was unable to locate any local
man by that name and telephoned
to John Fitzgerald at Valley juno
ton, boiler maker, who said that
he knew no man by that name liv-
ing in Valley Junction.
Later information, obtained by
The Register and Leader, disclosed
the fact that the dead man was a
travelling salesman and had been
dragged beneath the wheels of an
Illinois Central train when he at
tempted to leave it before reaching
the Fort Dodge station.
1T is now thought probable that
the man is resident of Oskaloosa,
as there is said to be a salesman by
the name given in the telegram liv-
ing at that place.
The body is now in charge of the
coroner at Fort Dodge awaiting Or
ders of the relatives when they shall
