EDISON BURNED BY ACCIDENT IN
 HIS LABORATORY

West Orange AE. IT, Aug. 26.1- Through the erfor Of an assistant tss a quantity Of potash was thrown into the face Of Tfloraas Al Edison syester- day afternoon while the inventor was working in one. of his chemical plants at Silver Lake, near Newark. The the inventors s eyes but Mrs Edison said last night that they were not in jured and that MT. Edison was again at work in his home.
 Ii The Silver Lake plants, of which MT. Edison has two, are used for the manufacture of aniline dyes, benzol, carbo1ic acid and other products, a branch of MT. Ed1son's business which has grown largely since the cutting off of the normal supply of chemical pro- ducts from Germany. Recently resi- dents of the neighborhood have been complaining of. the odors produced by the plants, and for the past two weeks MT. Edison has been working night and day in an effort to reduce the odors.
 1, It was while he was conducting ex- periraents along this line that the ac- ctdent occurred. MT. Edison, assisted by Frederick Ott, one Of his most ex- perienced helpers, was working with a filter used in the production Of car
 
 over the apparatus when Ott opened a wrong stopcock and the solution Of potash in the filter was thrown into MT. Edison's face
 The inventor ran to a sink near by and bathed his face and eyes with wa ter,- and first aid was administered from the kit kept handy in the labora- tory. The solution was weak, and the quick steps taken to counteract it, ac- cording to the statements made last night, prevented the possibility of any permanent injury to MT Edisen.s sight
 After treatment had been given in the plant laboratory MT. Edison got into his automobile and was carried to his home at L1ewel1yn Park, West Or ange- His eyes were still smartfne somewhat when he reached nome. Al ter changing his clothes and getting something to Seat. however, Mir Edison sent for some of his assistants and re- sumed his experiments in the 1abora- tory in his home.
 MT. Edison uses the carboIic acid he makes. in the manufacture of phono- graph records. When the war stopped the importation of benzol lie extended the operatoins of his plants to. make larger quahtfties of benzol and took Jn the manufacture of anaIine dyes. ex- pressing the hope that other. AgIneri- cans would follow his example and thus emancipate American dyes from their dependence on the German SUD- DIV

 'sThe question is not whether we shall get help from the United States in this war. That question is not i'm portant because we do not need help.
 s'The United States question is, will the United States. to whom destiny has for the present given the custody of the general rights of Humanity will she make the sacrifice which alone can prove 10 the world that she appreciates the greatness of her role? No outsta nding question equals this in gravity
 MT. Bennett says the language of President wilson's notes is plain, and adds:
 eThe German reply. which happen ed to take the shape of a. torpedo, is also fairly p1ain.''

Thompson is to hold over or not.
A case bearing upon this matter
should have been decided by the

would be judge.
Frank Gowan takes the place
of c. +. Beery as surveyor and
all the other officers are the ones
who have been holding the posi-

The commissioners have been
transacting some business but
very little has been done so far.

ceived of definite nature they
did not feel like going on.

show whether they do or not at a
stock judging contest to be held

Arid Fruit Growing.

In view of the fact that a great
deal of fruit, and some most ex-
cellent fruit, too, is grown either
on dry or irrigated farms, the
horticultural work at the 0. A.
c. Short Courses was planned to
deal with arid horticulture in a
special way. Such practical sub
jects as location of orchard, types
of soil to select, dry farm and
irrigation tillage, cover and shade
crops, pruning. thinning and
spraying, will be thoroughly
probed. Consideration will also
be given to methods of combat
ting winter injuries. The course
should appeal strongly to all
growers east of the Cascades or
within the irrigated districts of
Southern and Western Oregon.

Farris Bill Likely to
Provoke Fight.

A bitter fight is due to the Irri-
cation Congress in Portland this
week over the plan to indorse
Ferris bill, now pending before
the National Senate, says the
Oregonian.
There is a general disposition
on the part of Oregon irrigation
lists to condemn the Ferris bill,
which provides for Federal con-
troll of water power and water
resources to the evident detri-
ment of the irrigation interests.
But it is understood that Sec
retary Lane. of the Federal In
terror Department. is the real
author of the bill, and those arid
of Oregon that are in real need
of irrigation do not want to go
on record against it for fear that
their hostile attitude would je)-
pardize their chances of obtaining
Federal assistance on future irri-
cation work.

Rabies Exist Among

that it is from what Is called
street virus. The dripping saliva
from a rabld animal In its wan
derings may spread the disease
and the infection may very from
ten days to three months or pos
sibly year.
One very suspicious symptom
of rabies is for an animal to act
stupid or paralytic and also show
symptoms of having a bone in
its throat. Such an animal should
be watched and not allowed to
come in contact with other ami
mails or human beings.
A dog showing symptoms Of
rabies is confined in the pound in
this city and is being watched by
DR. Saurman and DIR. Griffith. A
calf belonging to Allen Jones has
a pronounced case and is very
mad. 1t has also been watched
by the doctors and in all likelihood
will die today. A young bull be-
longing to DR.. Hibbard died yes
terday morning and it..was at
first believedlhe died from hydro
phobia, but an examination show
ed the case to have. been. black

DR.. Saurman desires that all
animals suspected should be kept
isolated and.in case of death the
heads be sent to DR.. Geary who
will see to it that they are for
warded to the state..board where
a definite examination will be
made and information returned
as to its condition. The Doctor
wants the people to realize the
gravity of the situation in this
section and that they take no
chances.
Later-Just before going to
press DIR. Saurman called up this
office and stated the calf Mt the
Jones ranch had died and he had
made an examination of the
brain. He found very positive
evidence of rabies in the speci-
men. He also examined the head
of a cat that had died last night
under rather suspicious circum-
stances but found no Negri bodies
in the brain. The cat belonged
to Carey Thornburg and died fol-
lowing what appeared to be q fit
but to make sure the carcass was
brought to the Doctor.

Hotel Proprietors
Would Sell Liquor

Believing that hotel guests are
entitled to the same privileges as
persons in their own homes, the
hotel man desires the privilege
of supplying liquor to guests.
The hotel men say they do not
wish to rescue the saloon and
they do not want bars; they are
willing to submit to rigid regula-
tons, provided they can furnish
liquor to such guests as may
desire a drink.
This subject will be discussed
formally tonight by represen-
tatives of the hotels, with the
governing boards of the various
civic organizations. The confer
ence is to be held at the Com
mercial Club. An unofficial con-
ference was held Monday night,
when the matter was presented
and tonight the subject is to be
presented with all formality.
The hotel men seek support of
the civic bodies, and if this cannot
be obtained they will not endeavor
to force the issue by themselves.
Their argument is that the
public should be as interested in
the matter as the hotel men.
Discrimination against the
travelling public IS held to be
ruinous to the legitimate hotels.
AS hotel men. they desire as COM
plete regulation as can be devised
for the protection of patrons and
liquor would only be served with
meals.
The hotel men suggest that
upon which a hotel is
situated be held responsible for
the observance of all regulations
and that the license of the hotel
be revoked when attempts are
made to evade the regulations.
Such plan would operate against
illegitimate hotels and will protet
Iaw-abiding hotels. Telegram.

Propose l Mill State
Tax Levy for Roads

A state tax of / mill for good
roads is proposed by a group of
influential Portland business men
says the Oregonian. who have
appealed to the Multnomah coun-
ty legislative delegation to lend
their support to a bill providing
for a levy of this kind for a peri
cd of two years.
1t is pointed out that a one
mill levy will raise 81, 900, 900 a
year and that thst sum will be
sufficient, in connection with the
existing levy of one-fourth mill,
to complete the Columbia High
way projects in Columbia, Hood
River and Wasco counties and to
carry on other important road
development work in various
parts of the state.
