ROGERS CITES WEAK
NESSES OF new ROUTE

Homer A. Rogers, proprietor of the
Mount Hood Lodge in the Upper Val
ley, who was guide for the party of
Portland men and United States For
estry officials on their tour of inspec-
tion of proposed route for a road con-
Meeting the Upper Valley with the old
Barlow road, says that the road, if put
where Judge M. G. George desires it,
will eliminate the Hood River Valley
entirely.
"ln my explorations of the base of
Mount Hood" says MIR. Rogers, 81
have been over the rugged sections
through which the proposed road will
pass. perhaps more than any other man
in the country. My statements rela-
tive to the route are based on actual
visits to every point shall mention.
TO cut road into the Hood River
community from Brooks Meadows will
| be a task almost impossible. Judge
George proposes that the Hood River
connection be made there.
Judge Georges suggested route will
make the road almost 80 miles longer.
One OF the most important points to
be kept in mind relative to this scheme
is that of having the road run as close
| to the mountain as possible without
getting too high, and thus making it
short and as inexpensive as possible.
The originally proposed Elk Meadows
route, while going several miles nearer
the mountain, never reaches the alt-
tude reached by the route proposed by
Judge George.
"Nor do think it true that the
George route will tap finer scenery.
In my mind the scenic points it will
make accessible are greatly inferior to
those of the Elk Meadows route.
People who have seen the Elk
Meadows district declare that it is the
gem of all the scenic points east of the
peak. 1t will certainly be a mistake
to support any plan that leaves out Elk
Meadows.
''lt is claimed that the Elk Meadows
route will have more snow. In fact,
the Brooks Meadows route, reaching
higher altitude, will be snow covered
a great deal longer time than the lower
pass. There will be more snow on
BARLOW Pass than at any point on the
Elk Meadows route, and this question
of the snow is one beside the question.
The proposal of Judge George
strikes me as a selfish one from
the people of The Dalles and Dufur to
get the route through these proposed
places regardless of cost or the scenic
attractions. The proposed George
route has engineering difficulties that
will make construction work enormous
in cost, while, as the engineers of the
government who have passed over the
route already state, the Elk Meadows
route has no difficulties at all.

7 HURT BY GAS
BLAST AT COMFY
Leaking Fixture Fills
RoOm-Fumes Ignited
by Candle.
FAMILY AT DINNER
WHEN LIGHTS GO OUT
Search for Leak Causes Ex-
plosiOn-Open Window Saves
Occupants from Death.

Seven persons were badly burned,
two internally, when a candle carried
by careless servant caused a gas
explosion in the dining room Of the
bungalow owned by Andy Rice. a bur
lesque comedian, at p Carlton Court
Coney Island, early this morning.
The injured are:
RICE, Andy, thirty-two. actor; burns
on face and hands and probable in
ternal injuries.
STEPHENSON, Robert. actor; inter
nal and external burns.
RICE, Mrs. Andy, twenty-nine; burns
OF face and hands.
RICE, Samuel, ten; burns and bruises.
POHM, Mrs. Alice, and daughter,
Mersha, burns on face and hands.
MERSHISKA, Anna, servant; burns on
face and hands.
The Rice bungalow is large and is
filled most of the summer with guests.
several OF whom were sitting about the
dining room table with their hosts
when the lights in the chandelier above
them wen: out. Immediately alter
ward, the reek of gas began to creep
through the room. After warning no
one to strike a match. Rice CROPPED
about IN The dark and found that the
chandelier had become loosened at the
ceiling and was leaking badly
One OF the guests. Robert Stephen
son, an actor, called up the gas COM
pany. He had returned TO the room
and was advising his companions to
move out of il. when the door into the
kitchen opened and Anna Mershiska. a
servant, entered with a lighted candle.
She had not taken a step into the room
when fire enveloped the whole cham
Der, and the force of the explosion
knocked every one TO the floor.
Patrons of the Seabourne Hotel, ad-
joining the Rice dwelling, heard the
noise and telephoned for fire engines
and reserves from the police station.
The house did not catch fire after the
explosion, but when the firemen arrived
they had to drag seven insensible
bodies from the room. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rice, their son. their guests and their
servant were all taken to the Coney
Island Hospital.
At the hospital it was found that
they all were suffering from scorched
hands and faces. and minor bruises.
Rice and Stephenson seemed most Sc
verely injured, and their complaint of
internal pains has led physicians to
fear that they may have inhaled the
flame. 1t is not thought, however, that
any of the injured will die.
4 report that the Seabourne had
caught fire spread rapidly through
the island. When the police arrived
big crowd Of would-be sightseers,
which was growing each moment,
had packed the street in front oft he
Rice home. The reserves had their
hands full for some time in dispensing
the throng.
The fact that the windows of the
dining room were open is believed by
firemen to have saved the lives of all
the injured. If these had been closed,
it is said, the force of the explosion
would have killed all in the room and
would have wrecked the house. As it
was. practically no damage was done to
the building.

WULLAN MAY
SUCCEED POLK
Lamar Hardy and Louis II.
HahlO Also Named in
City Hall Gossip.

If Frank Lyon Polk resigns as Cor
poration Counsel to become counsellor
of the State Department Mayor Mitchell
will lose the advice of the man who is
closer to him than any other member
of his cabinet In such a contingency
he would be puzzled to find man to
succeed him. The selection of man
to head the law department caused the
Mayor more trouble than that of any
other member of his official family.
For some time the Mayor wanted to
appoint George " Mullan, his law part
ner. This caused considerable feeling
among the independent Democrats who
had been his campaign committee.
Montgomery Hare was an active candl-
date for the place, but the insistence Of
his friends made him an impossiblhty.
1t is believed that if Mr.. Polk retires
from the city administration the Mayor
will seriously consider naming Mr.
Mulan to succeed him, although the
latter has proved most valuable mem
Der of the cabinet as member OF the
tax board. However, Tax Commits
sioner gets only $1,000, while the salary
of Corporation Counsel is $4,000.
The suggestion that Commissioning
Mullan or Lamar Hardy might succeed
Mr. Polk is based on the idea that the
Mayor would want as Corporation Coun-
sci a man who had been close TO him
personally for many years. II he
l. ~ m hCCgIigp
of his familiarity with the duties Of
the Office he would unquestionably Sc
lect Louis II. Hahlo, who has been in
the office for many years. After the
death of Assistant Corporation Counsel
Sterling. eight months before the end of
the Gaynor administration, Corporation
Counsel Watson selected him for the
second place in the Office.
Since then he has acted as Corpora
ton Counsel in every case in the abb
sence of the head of the department.
He has successfully handled some of
the biggest cases in the office, includ-
ing the determination Of the debt limit
and the winning of the suit brought
against the city to declare void the dual
subway contracts on the ground that
the city could not enter into partner
ship with private corporation.
in the absence of Mayor Mitchell,
President McAneny of the Board of
Aldermen, Commissioner Mullan and
other important members of the adj
ministration yesterday. there was no
one who knew what chance there was
for Corporation Counsel Polk TO go 10
Washington. Ten days ago Mr.. Polk
went all the way from Bar Harbor to
Plattsburg to confer with the Mayor,
presumably on the offer from Wash
ington, and it is believed that the re-
cent trip of the Mayor TO this city was
TO large extent to talk the matter over
with Mr.. Polk.

SUICIDE THREAT,
THEN BRIDE SUES
Wealthy Builder, Associate OF
Gerard and PinchOt, Ac-
cused of Cruelty.

After only ten months of married life
with her second husband, Mrs. Lutte

Mrs. William Peyton Wilson, of Dallas,

since the marriage he has treated her
in a cruel and inhuman manner, and
that while he was intoxicated, he struck
her and knocked her down.
Three months had not elapsed
after they were married when Mr. and
Mrs. Scott agreed to disagree, that is,
they entered into a separation agree
ment. But they decided to try again.
and in March last, after the agreement
had been in effect three months, 1t was
cancelled and the couple became recon
ciled, Scott, so his wife says, promising
t. refrain from the acts which had
caused the estrangement.
Under this armlstlce they HVed TO-
gether until last Monday, when. IT is
alleged by Mrs. Scott, her husband left
her, threatening to commit suicide. lie
also urged her to sue him for divorce,
she alleges, and promised to pay her
$3.50 a month.
Scott was graduated from Harvard in
the class of 'O4. He is president of the
Hasco Building Company and the Aeon
Realty Company. in which he is asso-
ciated with Sumner Gerard, a brother
of Ambassador James W. Gerard. Amos

Scott in various real estate and con-
struction ventures.

COURTS TO DECIDE
SEAMEN'S BILL CASE
Must Determine if Sailors in
u. S. Ports Are Entitled TO
Half of Pay Due Them.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The courts
must decide on the constitutionality Of
Section of the La Toilette seamen's
bill. according to an opinion by the
Department of Justice sent to the Pres
ident to-day. This is the section which
gives sailors on ships OF any nationality
the right to demand, while in American
ports. one-half of the pay due them
The only restriction imposed By the
law is that the sailors must not make
this demand oftener than once every
five days.
This is the second opinion on the
seamen's bill sent by the Attorney
General TO the President this week
The first held that ships of nations
which had safety-at-sea regulations
"approximating" those of the United
States would not have to comply with
the La Toilette bills requirements.
Section 4 applies to American as we'll
as foreign vessels. The Attorney Gem
eral refuses to take the responsibility
of deciding the case. In order to de-
termine finally whether the law Is vsi
or not. it was said tonight. it will be
necessary to have at least two test
cases One of these must grow out Of
the refusal of the captain of an Amer
lean ship to pay some sailor half the
wages due him. The other must grow
out of the refusal of the master OF a
foreign ship. The TWO cases will differ
in many important respects, and the
case of the foreign ship, particularly,
involves many questions Of constitu-
tionality. 1t is questioned if the United
States has the right to interfere with
the contracts between steamship com
panies of other countries and their
sailors. citizens Of other nations.

FOURTH HAYTIAN
PORT IS SEIZED
u. S. Takes Charge of Gus
tom House at Port
de PaiX.
From The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, Aug. 27.-Another Hay
tian custom house, that at Port de
Paix, has been taken over by the
American authorities. This is the
fourth to be seized, and probably will
be followed by others. according to in
formation at the Navy Department.
The seizure was accomplished without
resistance, and there was no disorder
except for slight disturbances in the
outskirts of the town, Rear Admiral
Caperton reported to-day.
The rear admiral cabled that the
tender Castine left st. Marie yester-
day for Gonaives on reconnaissance
Gonaives is the halfway station foA
revolutionary juntas originating at
Cape Haytien and proceeding toward
Port-au-Prnce. II is expected that
the custom house at that port soon
will be taken over by the American
forces.
Secretary Lansing is greatly encour-
aged by the progress Of the negotia-
tions with the Haytan government for
treaty giving the American govern
mcnt control Of the customs and
finances for ten years. Il is expected
here that the measure will be adopt
ed within few days.
The better element in Hayti, il is
believed. consisting Of merchants.
manufacturers and agriculturists, vel
come the plan as the only possible
relief from the revolutions that have
ruined the country. which is rich in
natural resources. Opposed to them
are certain ambitious politicians who
profit by fomenting disorder and re-
belion and mercenary strong men on
horseback"
The State Department is confident
that the better element will win,
though it is known that the revolu-
tionists are strong in numbers. and
are successful in intimidating govern
ment officials by threats Of assassina
tion.
President Dartiguenave. head Of the
new government, is believed to have
assurances Of sufficient support from
Senators and delegates 20 secure ia
vorable action on the treaty within a
few days.
Il became known to-day that the
United States plans to call upon the
War Department, If necessary. TO
furnish officers for the island police
from its corps OF nOn-commiSsioned
officers who have developed and COM
manded the Philippine constabulary.
