CHICAGO HEAT WAVE, MODERATES
AFTER SCORE OF DEATHS OCCUR

CHICAGO, Sept. Is, AP.-A
spring like shower late today
started the rout Of .September's
midsummer heat wave, in which
middle west millions have swell
tered for four days.
Darkening clouds intervened
earlier in behalf of a parched
country, driving the mercury slow
Iy downward here from its high
point of SO degrees, reached
shortly after noon. Hourly read
ings had equalled those of yes
terday, and the temperature
threatened to exceed 95 degrees
record of the two previous days
until the clouds appeared.
Like readings were reported
throughout the central states, the
highest being 100 degrees at
Peru, Ill.
The shower was of short dura-
ton in Chicago's downtown loop
district. The sun was shining
brightly once more when the
National League Brooklyn Chi
cago game was called off thirty
blocks away on account of rain.

the west, however, and forecast
ers predicted further rain to-
night with temperatures around
eighty tomorrow and in the nor
NAL seventies by Saturday.
The break in the heat wave
found a total of more than u
score of deaths attributed to the
unprecedented rise in temperature
due, it was said, to lack of
contact between a high pressure
area in the south and low area
in the north. This resulted in
stagnant condition of the air, AMI
the heat just kept on settling
lOwn.
School children took to the
beaches and parks when classes
were dismissed. The portable
school houses, which 10000 pupils
attended, were not opened at all,
and many children did not even
report at the other buildings.
Milk producers in northwestern
Illinois reported a serious short
age of milk due to the prolonged
heat and parched pastures. Cat
tie in the fields were fed corn
that had little or no prospect OF
maturing, to carry them through.

MEXICAN STORM
DAMAGES Are
STILL UNKNOWN
John L. DuvaIl

NOGALES, Ariz., Sept IS R)-
Further details felating to damage
and probable loss of life resulting
from a hurricane which swept prac-
t;cally the entire west soast of Mexico
for three days last week were lacking
tonight. Latest reports from Quad
alajara, Jalisco, southern terminal of
the Southern Pacific of Mexico rail-
road, said that communication with
the states Of OaXaca, Colima and
N1ichoacan, bordering on that section
cf the coast hardest hit by the storm
had not yet been established.
No reports had been received here
regarding the freighter Bolivar y
which Mazatlan, Sinaloa dispatches
give as missing since last Friday.
Neither was there any word from
fishing fleet of five boats, which
carried about 25 men, Grave fears
for the safety of the Bolivar and the
fishing craft were held in dispatches
from Guadalajara and Mazatlan.
Reports of the storm reaching this
point over badly damaged telegraph
lines along the west coast and from
crews of delayed trains which have
reached GuaynaS say that heavy
damage was done by great waves, that
swept in from the Pacific, at Salina
Cruz, OaXaca and Manzanillo, Colima.

.REMODELLINC OF
CADSDEN HOTEL
IS UNDER WAY
Building Is Being Reno
vated; Rooms Enlarged,
New Equipment Put In.

The tremendous task OF remod-
cling, which virtually means the re-
building of the Gadsden hotel, is
now well under way Some thirty
nine guest rooms on the second and
third floors have been torn UP. All
wood work has been removed and
partitions are being torn out to make
it possible to enlarge many of the
rooms.
The big kitchen at the rear OF the
hotel building is being worked over
and will be finally finished up with
complete new equipment. The
great cold storage boxes in the base
ment which were installed at big
expense a few years ago are to be
taken out. Work has already started
on the tearing out of the entire
heating and lighting systems.
A complete new heating system
will be installed all over the hotel
with new furnaces in the basement
and the most modern of arrange
mentS throughout All water and
sewer pipes are to be renewed. Every
electric lighting wire in the building
is to be exchanged for new one.
There will be a new and up-to-
date elevator for guests and new
electric freight elevator. The roonls
which are being rebuilt will have
both tub and shower baths for each.
The most modern fixtures are to be
installed in every section Of the he
tel. The management said yesterday,
There will be other hotels in Doug
las. There may be some larger than
the Gadsden, but there will not be
any with more modern, comfortable
and artistic arrangement"
AS soon as the rooms now being
remodeled are finished the other
wings of the hotel will be closed and
the workmen will start on them. A
great sum of money is to be ezpend-
ed in the present program and no
pains or expense will be spared to
make the remodeling job as nearly
perfect in every respect as is hu-
manly possible.

Tariff Discrimination Ag-
ainst American Goods
Are Resented.
CLASH PENDING
Washington AstOnished at
French Ignorance of U.
S. Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS, R-
Rejection by France of American
proposals for most-favored- nation
commercial treaty to correct French
tariff Determinations against Amer
lean goods brought the two govern
ments to the verge of an open clash
today, that in the opinion OF some
officials, might develop into a tar
iff war. p
While the French communication
declining the offer was not made
public it was said authoratively at
the state department that there will
be little delay in formulating the
American answer as the tariff act
forbidS the negotiations Of treaties
as to tariffs on any basis but that
of equal treatment for all nations,
This limitation upon the powers
of the president preventing accept
anceance of the French counter pro-
posals undoubtedly will be broughS
out sharply in the replyA
washington officials indicated as
tonishment that the French foreign
office and it's technical advices were
not fully advised as to the provis-
ions of the American tariff ect. The
nature of the counter proposal, how
ever, is taken as an indication tIlat
they were not since there could have
been no point in suggesting to the
washington government course OF
action 1t could not follow within the
law even if it SO desired.
It is almost uncertain whether the
~ x ar ovsca Of
so-called retaliatory provisions in
section 317 Of the tariff act under
which the president may impose pen
atty duties or even absolute embar-
goes against importations from
countries exercising tariff discrimina-
tions against American goods. 1t IS
practically certain that the An1eri-
can answer to the French reciprocity
suggestion will make no mention OF
these provisions, confining itself TO
an exposition of the limitations OF
law which make the French plan out
of the question.
It is equally certain, however, chat
the possibility that the penalty pro-
visions of the tariff act might come
into use for the first time to meet
the situation raised by the new
French tariff schedules was given
increasingly serious consideration to-
day by officials at the state and
commerce departments. The normal
correspondence between the two
governments is not as yet at stage
where any open threat of retaliatory
measure is to be expected

Defence Introduces
Huge + urnace Model
In Carson Lawsuit
Ed Jackson

TUCSON, Sept. IS P)-The suit of
the Carson Investment company of
San Francisco, against the Phelps
Dodge corporation and the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company to re-
cover claimed royalties for infringe
ments of patents on reverberatory
furnaces has resolved itself into long
grind of intimate and technical de-
tail
Resembling Chinese pagoda that
had been dedicated to the great slnelt-
ing joss, a huge model of a reverbra.
tory furnace was unveiled in the Unit
ed States district court here today.
Towering half way to the ceiling
the big wood and tin structure re-
quired the combined efforts of 10
husky men to be moved a few inches
along the court room floor.
The novel exhibit was introduced in
evidence by the defense to thwart the
claims of patent infringements that
involve millions of dollars
The "guide" who conducted the
court through the furnace was John
Bioore Samuels, head of the inyestiga-
ton department of the Cooper Queen
branch of the Phelps Dodge corpora
ton at Douglas. He was on the stand
all day, and will probably continue to
be examined the rest of the week.
During the examination of Samuels,
which was conducted by H. A. Elliott
of Bisbee, head of the defense colin-
sci, Judge William H. Sawtelle, who is
a native of Sheffield, Ala, near the
famous Birmingham -BeSsemer Furnace
country, interposed questions of his
own Especially in the matter of blast
furnaces did Judge Sawtelle reveal an
extra judicial familiarity with the sub
ject material of the lawsuit.
Repeatedly, Elliott asked Samuels
whether the Siemens furnaces were
blast furnaces. They were held to be
such in a recent decision of the ninth
Pircuit court of appeals, according to
Elliott. SamuelS testified that the
Siemens "reverbs" were not blast
furnaces, thereby supporting the de-
fense position that as reverbS, they
anticipated the Carson furnace.
The great reverberatory model was
introduced, the defense chief counsel
said, to show the arrangement of the
general metallurgical furnace that
Siemens had made to carry out his
iron and steel process, and the model
was also exhibited, it was announced
to establish the furnaces operative
ness in carrying out the iron and steel
process as well as the process of smelt-
/ ing copper matte.

the furnaces that the Phelps Dodge
corporation has constructed, embody'
ing the disclosures of the Siemens
furnace, including the inclined side
walls. Some elaborate models are tt

A large number of American, British
and French patents were shown tt

out by G. w. Siemens, one as far bacE
as 1866. The defense contention i
that these patents anticipated thu
Carson reverberatory furnace, anC
that, therefore, the Carson patent wa!
invalid and incapable of being in
Cinged.

made to questions put to Samuels

OLD MAN, DEAF, DUMB, PARALYZED
BELIEVED TO HOLD MURDER KEY

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Is, AP.-
The untold circumstances of
death, which the police charged
was one of murder, tonight were
believed by the officers to be lock-
ed in the possession of DR.. Carl
Won Engel, ~, deaf, dumb and
partially paralyZed, whose sixty
two year old wife Caroline was
found dead in their home late

the heart.
The aged man, who until ten
years ago practised medicine in
Davenport, Iowa, their former

murder and put al Jail cell

INVENTOR OF
TACK LITTER
Will Use Magnetic Points
Of Old Car to Clea r
4 Roads of Tacks.

A modest resident of Douglas with
ination has anticipated that magnets
be used to clear Cochise County's
highways Of tacks and nails.
Several months ago this man, who
would not consent to the publication
of his name when interviewed last
night, discovered the efficiency OF
the magnet as tack and nail re-
mover. .Harrassed by nails which
had been scattered on the drives and
in the yard of his home during a
building operation, he seriously con-
Sidered the casual suggestion of a
neighbor.
Dismantling an old Ford which ap-
parently had outlived it's usefulness
he removed the magnetic points and
affixed about So of them in row
on a narrow six-foot length of wood.
This he suspended on the front OF
his automobile, about an inch above
the ground, and discovered, he said,
that it cleared the path of his au-
tomobile so effectively that his tires
have not picked up another tack or
nail since.
The inventor of this device did
not use his discovery except on his
own property but he was confident
it would be effective on the high
ways. At present he is working on an
improved magnet which would con-
sist of one length of iron, about
one and one-fourth inches in 0ia-
meter with magnetic points threaded
to it, to be suspended between the
front and rear wheels
He declared there was nothing ri
diculous or impracticable about Jack
Barnhart's suggestion yesterday that
sections of railroad rail be magnetized
and suspended from the rear OF each
highway department truck.
The attention of a Dispatch re-
porter was called yesterday to q
tack and nail remover now in use
in Yellowstone park where a truck
is equipped with an electric magnet
a gas engine and generator, devoted
solely to patrolling the park high
ways. Advocates of Barnhart's, mag

eigners were forced to flee. The

activities of radical agitators at the
Amparo mines from which, it was
said, Mexican troops, with the excep.
ton of a sergeant and five soldiers,

the recent murder of Arthur Brewer,
an American
From Santo Domingo came the
official report OF the killing of Rene
r. Dllmarest, believed to DE. nat
lralized American from New York

wanderings.
No knife was found near the
body, and Van Engel was absent
when the police were called to the
home by his daughter, Mrs. Agnes
Ickmeyer. She told them she had
learned from her neighbOrs that
her father had come to her door
during the day and gone away
again. Later Mr.. Iclmeyer
brought Won Engel home and
told of how the aged man had
walked nearly two miles to lex
meyers garage, where he had
gone seeking to tell his Son-in-
law of Mrs. Won Engel's death.
The aged man had been absent
nearly four hours.
The police did not disturb the
wOman'S body because Mrs. LEX
meyer tiId them she had been
suffering from varicOse veins and
apparently died of a breaking
blood vessel. When the coroner
came he discovered the jagged
and fatal wound.
