BIG PACIFIC FLEET
TO CEASE SERVICE
New Seamen's Law Is Blamed
for Withdrawal Of Five Liners.

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-Definite an
nouncement that the transpacific serv.
ice of the Pacific Mail company will
cease Nov 2, thus withdrawing from
foreign trade the largest American
fleet engaged in such commerce, was
made by A. j. Frey, assistant to the
general manager.
The terms of. the La Toilette sea-
mems law, which goes into effect Nov.
3, would force the company to oper-
ate at loss, according to officials.
The clause compelling the company
to hire crews, Is per cent of whom in
each department must be able to I'M
derstand any order given in the ma
tive tongue of the officers, would
eliminate the Chinese crews and so
increase the operating costs that the
company could not meet the compe-
tition of the Japanese, they declared.
Five liners will be withdrawn from
the trade-the Manchuria and Mon
golia, $4,000 tons each; the Korea
and, Siberia, $4,000 tons, and the
China, 10000 tons.

PROPERTY DAMAGE ENORMOUS

Heavy Rain Causes Dams to Burst,
Releasing Flood Of Water That
Filled the Business Streets to
Depth Of Five Feet and in Some Sec.

Erie, Pa, Aug. 4.-Twenty-five lives
lost, as estimated by the police, mil.
lions of dollars in property damage
and the city in total darkness is the
result of a cloudburst that eliminated
In flood that inundated a large sec.
ton of the city.
The heavy precipitation burst dams
south of the city, releasing flood of
water that filled the business streets
to depth of five feet and in some
sections reached to the second story
windows.
The Erie County Electric companys
plant, which supplied the city with
light, was disabled, as was also that
of the Erie Dispatch, morning news
paper, whose building adjoins the cleo
trio light plant.
All telephone and telegraph lines
were put out of commission and it
was several hours before crippled tele
graph communication could be partial
ly restored.
The first bulletin on the flood was
sent to the outside world by a tele
graph operator, who waded five blocks
in water up to his arms to the central
telegraph Office.
At Ninth street, along Mill creek.
in the residence district, the flood was
at it's worst. It is impossible to as.
certain how many actually have lost
their lives there. Many are still i'm
prisoned in houses and the rescuers,
led by Mayor Stern and members OF
the city council, have been unable to
get them out.
The entire eastern section of the
city is cut off by the water and what
conditions prevail in the center of
this district cannot be learned.
1t is estimated that 5000 persons
are homeless. Telephone service is
so crippled that the work of relieving
the distressed and rescue is seriously
impeded.

Continue the Protest

Further consideration of the Judge bill providing for an increase in the number of Birmingham's commission CTS from three to five having been postponed until the July session of the legislature, it will probably never reach the governor for his signature.
 At one time it looked as if the measure would be enacted into law at the present session, but the people of Birmingham having become aroused vigorous protests against changing the three-commissioner plan have caused members of the Jefferson county delegation who were com- mitted to the ive-commissidher plan to pause; and if the people of Birming- ham keep up an active opposition to the proposed change ultimate defeat of the bill will be assured.
 1 Three commissioners are ample. 1t is certainly better to have three well paid commissioners than to split up the same total of salaries for five. There is at best too much political turmoil in Birmingham. Even in off years local political activity is in evi- dence. If we were to have five con- missioners this town would have mu- nicipal politics at fever heat from one years end to another.
 Between now and July the consen- sus of opinion will be found to be over- whelmingly in favor of letting the present commission form remain as it is.

End of senson for QuaiI

"In two weeks the open season for quail will end" said sportsman, and for many it has been at an end for some weeks, because of the lack of birds.
 "There has never been in the history oe the sport as poor season-as small bags and as many outright failures-as this now ending It is hard to- account for specifically, but some things bearing on the question are worth considering. First, there should be legislation against the use of the pump on the automatic gun i; guns that enable a good shot to kill some times on a ragged flush" six birds. Some states have already outlawed them. Next the preventing of dogs running at large and hunting all the year, destroying nests and young birds. Then a bounty for hawks and varmints that destroy poul- try and birds should be offered by the state; also the crow should have price put upon him by legislative enactment for he not only destroys crops and gar dens, but he is a villain as black as his plumage in destroying bird nests and killing very young birds.
 We should have, instead of a bag limit of 25 birds, a possession limit of 25 birds, to check the hunters who have leisure, money and opportunity to kill for days bringing back, under favorable These lucky finds have been the excep- ton this season, but nevertheless it has happened few times to my knowledge" :"

Optimism Spreading

When business depression was sorely felt in every section of this country last fall pessimism was more common than optimism. Yet, even when silver lining to the cloud was scarcely visible many financiers and industrial leaders had hopeful view of the near future and not only talked cheerfully but their actions proved their sincerity.
 Within the last three or four weeks there has been a steady improvement in business, and there are unmistak- able evidences that improvement will continue. The prosperity which the grain growing west has been enjoying is spreading, and conditions in tho east are fast approaching normal. Certain it is that optimism is today the dominant note in every section.

----------.0s----- WHAT MAKES THE HERO:

From the Chicago Herald.
 Thomas w. Crockatt, truckman of hook and ladder company No. ?. was awarded the Lambert Tree medal for the most heroic act performed during the year by member of the fire department And nobody who reads of his rescue of an unconscious comrade from the roof of a burning three-story building will deny that his deed was as heroic as many that have had more applause from fame's distorted mouth"
 What is more, this recognition of the heroic act of Thomas Crockatt once more calls attention to the essential element of herosm. What makes the hero is moi what we do for ourselves but what we dc for others at great sacrifice or with great danger to ourselves. We may save | ourselves alone at the cost of tremen dous hardships; but the touch of self interest clings to the most thrilling deet and bars the heros crown.

A public health official warns parents not to regard humps among their chil- dren too lightly. Don't neglect your chil- dren during an attack of mumps." he says, "as the disease may seriously af- feet certain important organs of the body by transference. The following con- ditions, complicating humps, are not to be overlooked: High fever, causing deliri- um; delirium caused by certain brain con- ditions, and deafness, which may be last ing" He thinks that humps do not receive their full share of watchfulness because the disease is regarded as one of the milder complaints. Mumps are caused by germ and are contagious. They usually come between the ages of 5 and 15 years and are most prevslent in the spring and au- tumn months. They develop within a pe- riod of from 10 to 21 days after exposure. The symptoms include pain and stiffness behind the lower jaw and behind the ear, accompanied by a swelling of the cheek. usually on the left side of the head first, which is followed by pain and swelling on the right side.
