DEMAND LIGHTS y ALASKA COAST

WASHINGTON, April 11.--ln let ter written to the Western congress sional delegations Secretary Redfield. of the Department of Commerce, ap- peals for an immediate appropriation to construct aids for navigation on the Alaskan coast at an expense of $35,- COG, ,OOO is a hollow mockery while ac- cess to the railroad terminal is al lowed to remain unnecessarily dan gerous.
 The letter of the head of the Con- Inerce department is a strong plea for prompt action and friends of Alaska bere are confident that it will be heed ed by the members of congress and with the aid of the united delegations Of the Pacific coast states, large appropriation is hoped for this ses- sion.
 Secretary Redfield also denounces the Pacific coast steamship inspection ifs inadequate and absurd. The force of inspectors are inefficient to handle Ihe work and as result the ships are not properly inspected.

MILAN, Austria. April l1.--A light ed cigar in the hands of one of the spectators inspecting the big army derrigible balloon caused the gas bas to explode and 50 persons in the crowd near the scene were seriously injured and several of them are eX pected to die.
 The man with the lighted cigar will not smoke for some time, as his face was badly burned. He was also se- verely injured about the body.
 Had the accident happened a half hour later when the big crowds were expected, the loss of life would have been appalling.
 The exhibition was given on the army aviation field and the staff of doctors maintained at the hospital were soon attending to the needs of the injured. The big machine is a total wreck

PURIFY
 SHELTER FUMES
New Method Will Save Much Money to Copper Mine owners-ln-
 ventor Predicts Success.

BEDDING, Cal. April 11.-Tests of a new method of controlling smelter smoke encourage the inventor and his associates to predict the commercial success of the new process. The runs of the small plant here were made on sulphide ore from the Balakala mine, averaging about 45 per cent sulphur, and the experimenters say that every vestige of the mineral was removed from the smoke fumes.
 Mining men and farmers were nat urally the most interested observers of the tests, the latter because of the injury done to crops in the neighbor- hood of smelters not equipped with controllers, and the former because the new method is expected not only to obviate such injury and the con- sequent suits for damages, but also to recover and utilize, at slight ex- pense, practically all the copper, zinc, silver, sulphur and other elements which have been hitherto carried off in the fumes.
 The simplicity of the process has won much favor from local metallur- gists, and further experiments are be- ing awaited with interest The sue cessful application of the process on a commercial basis will be of tremen- dous importance to copper companies throughout the west, where noxious fumes have caused agitation against the smelters, with disastrous results to the copper industry.

KILLED PATIENTS

Police Arrest Entire Stall of Pittsburo Maternity Hospital, Charging
 Abortions and Murder.

PITTSBURG, Pa. April 1.-The police of this city today raided a maternity abortion hospital and ar- rested all the doctors and nurses in the building, charging them all with wholesale murder.
 Detectives had been watching the place for several months because of the fact that Dorothy Arnold had been traced to the building and has never been seen since: The fact was not known until several months ago, when the police were given clue as to what had become of the girl and they made an investigation. Doctors Meredith. Leader and Lutz were in charge of the hospital and had as their assistants Lucy Orr and Mary Snyder. the women nurses.
 Under a third degree .examination given by the police Dr. Lutz broke down and confessed that the building was used to aid women in a delicate condition and that illegal operations were constantly performed. When ever any of the patients of the hos pital died they were cremated in the big furnace in the basement of the hospital. He stated that scores of women had thus been disposed of af- ter they had died from the effects of the operations.
 Dr. Meredith has made an inde- pendent fortune bleeding his victims, according to his accomplices. and would force the male friends of his victims to pay blackmail for many years.
 The police claim they have enough evidence to hang the entire staff of doctors and nurses.

After the capture the federals parad- ed the streets with the flags of the captured launch amid the cheers and jeers of the populace.
 When Admiral Mayo was informed that the launch with the paymaster and detachment of marines had been taken possession of by the fed erals he immediately ordered one of his staff to demand the instant re- lease of the men and the return of the flags, which he has given the federals until this evening to publicly apolo- gize and salute with every honor

WILL. USE FISH
 AS CHICKEN FEED
Valuable By-Product Utilized In the Herring Oil Industry-Experi-
 ment Is Successful.

SEATTLE, April 11.-A new devel- opment in a comparatively new in dustry is announced by Phillip G. Funcke, president of an Alaskan company which is engaged in the ex- traction of oil from the herring which swarm in the northern waters. It is the utilization of the by-products as poultry food ~r. .r.~
 When the fish are brought to the factory" said Mir. Funcke in discuss ing his new departure, the catch is divided into five lots and distribut- ed in equal portions near the five 'rooller presses. After being thor oughly boiled in huge vats the fish are forced through giant rollers op- erated by compressed afr. the oil flowing into recepticles provided for it and the crushed fish falling down a chute to the floor below. Here the fish are again compressed to extract the remainder of the oil, and the guano or residue is boxed up for the market. The guano was formerly sold for fertilizer. but by special process much of it is now mixed with a small percentage of the oil
 and becomes an excellent poultry food, which experiments prove is greatly relished by chickens and ducks.
 Last year. for experimental pur- poses, 300 tons of this poultry food, which has tha appearance of bran Of a dark red color, was sent to San Francisco. The sale of the food was good from the first. and contracts for large shipments this season were made as a consequence. ..
 Analysis of the new food proves it to be rich in protein, which is one of the most valuable elements in poultry food, and an added percent age of lime from the bones of the Ash tends to make shell for eggs when fed to laying hens.
 Alter the, oil is taken from the presses 1t is allowed to cool and large cakes of fat soon form in the fluid, The oil is then strained through fine ly woven sietes and in this manner separated from the fat The oilis bar reled for market and the fat also is barreled to be sold as the foundation for axle grease and other lubricants"
