RATS GUT THE DAM
Great Crevasse in Govern
ment Canal at Seattle.
WASHED BY RUSHING WATER
Hirer One Hnndred Feet "Wide and
Twelve Feet Deep Presents Great
Spectnble, bat Docs Little
Damage,
SEATTLE. Oct 7. The dam at the
head of the Government Canal, extending
from Lake Union to the waters of the
Sound, went out this morning: and all
day and tonight a river 75 to 100 feet wide
and 10 or 12 feet deep has been racing
through the ditch.
The water first began to seep through
past the south wing of the dam yester
day morning about 7 o'clock. What was
Jlrst a small crevice grew to a large
crevasse.
The ditch Is cut through sand and loose
earth and the rushing water rapidly ate
Its way into this. Great sections o tho
bank from time to time fell Into the
"water and were carried away.
"While the catastrophe was spectacular
In the extreme, the damage is small. No
private property is affected, except that
the earth is washed away from beneath
the shore ends of three bridges, two be
longing to the city and one to the Seattle
Electric Company. The bridges were not
weakened, although as a precautionary
measure traffic over them was stopped. A
temporary dam will be thrown across the
canal tomorrow and the wing dam will
be then rebuilt.
The damage, including tho cost of re
building the wing dam and the temporary
dam, will amount to less than $1000 to
the Government. The city will escape
-with about 3300 and the electric company
with but little more.
Rats, who honeycombed the dam with
their holes, are thought to be responsible
for the going out of the dam, and not
high water.

EIGHT HUNDRED SHEEP IX PILE-UP
Lenders Attempt to Stop on Side of
Hill and Great Loss Follow.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct 7. (Spe
cial.) A sheepherder in from the Blue
Mountains today reports the killing of
what he says was 800 sheep in a horrible
'plle-up" which occurred in Columbia
County on the South Fork of the Touchet.
According to the herder's story, a large
band was being driven down a steep de
clevlty to water. The leaders Jumped
over a log and for some Inexplicable rea
son suddenly stoppea. ine rest, aiter
the manner of sheep, kept piling over the
log until the bunch in front lost their
feet.
Then occurred what sheepmen term
"piling up," when sheep literally smother
each other to death. While S00 is prob
ably exaggerated, a great number of
sheep is sometimes killed in this way.

MORGAN ON'THE SAME FOOTING
Ex-President of the Steel Octopns
Got Rid of the Bethlehem Plnnt
by Having; Friends Succeed
Enemies as Directors.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. One of the most
interesting statements in connection with
C. D. Simpson, Asst. Frin.
the formation of the ill-fated United
States Shipbuilding Company, told by D.
Le Roy Dresser, in legal proceedings to
day, was that after a pool of 200,000 pre
ferred and 250,000 common stock had been
placed In the hands of Harris Gates &
Co., it was agreed that none of this stock
should be marketed until 25,000 preferred
and 25,000 common, owned by J. P. Mor
gan & Co., and 75,000 of each kind owned
by C. M. Schwab had first been sold.
Mr. Dresser also told of his original
agreement as president of the Trust
Company of the Republic, to obtain the
underwriting of $3,000,000 of United States
Shipbuilding stock; how this was in
creased to $4,750,000 by the failure of the
French subscribers to pay up; how Mr.
Schwab came to offer his Bethlehem
works to the shipbuilding company, and
how J. P. Morgan & Co. then came into
the transaction.
Offer for Underwriting;.
Mr. Dresser, who took the stand at tho
opening of the hearing, testified that he
was president of the Trust Company of
the Republic from its organization.
March 3L 1902, until March 4, 1903. He
told of the visit to him In April. 1902.
of John J. McCook. who told him he
came from John W. Young and the Mer
cantile Trust Company, and asked tho
Trust Company of. the Republic to un
derwrite $3,000,000 of the stock of the
United States Shipbuilding Company,
showing Mr. Dresser the underwriting
agreement which said that $3,000,000 had
been taken in London and $3,000,000 in
France. The trust company authorized
him to get the underwriting, which he
did. Later, he increased the underwrit
ing to $4,750,000 at the request of the pro
moters, because they said London failed
to take the $3,000,000 It promised to take.
Mr. Dresser said he had no written
statement as to the value of the com
panies In the company when he under
took the underwriting, but Lewis Nixon
and John W. Young had made oral rep
resentations. The Mercantile Trust Company, he was
told by Colonel McCook, secured the rest
of the underwriting, principally In
France. The Trust Company of the Re
public, Mr. Dresser said, had framed the
prospectus of June, 1902, offering the
bonds to the public, the trust company
taking the information contained in It
from the firm of Alexander & Green,
counsel, and Rlgdel & Common, account
ants, without Investigating any state
ments made by them.
Mr. Dresser Identified a copy of the
prospectus and it was admitted in evi
dence. He said all the underwriting se
cured by the Trust Company of the Re
public was secured for the Mercantile
Trust Company. The response to the ad
vertisement for subscriptions was poor,
he said, not more than $600,000 of the
bonds being applied for In America.
The purchase of the Bethlehem Steel
Works for the shipbuilding company was
then discussed, Mr. "Dresser stating that
the overtures for the sale of the steel
company had been mado by Charles M.
Schwab, who said he owned nearly all
the stock of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, and because of Its armor-making
capacity, believed the company would do
better with the shipbuilding trust than
with the United States Steel Corporation.
Mr. Schwab, according to Mr. Dresger,
said he wanted $9,000,000 cash for this
stock, and submitted reports which
showed It cost more than $7,000,000, and
was' earning $1,450,000 a year.
"We told him we could not trade on
any such basis," said Mr. Dresser, "be
cause we had no cash, and he said he
would take 510,000,000 in bonds at 90 for
the $9,000,000."
This was agreed to; the arrangement
also providing that he was to receive
with the bonds a stock bonus of $9,000,000
of the common and preferred stock of the
shipbuilding company, Schwab stating
that $2,000,000 of the stock was to go to
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Schivah to Provide the Cash.
When the contract wab presented for
signature it was found to call for the
purchase by Messrs. Dresser and Nixon,
personally, of 293.S00 shares of the Beth
lehem Company's stock from J. P. Mor
gan & Co. for $7,246,781 cash. $2,500,000 In
common stock, of the United States Ship
building Company, and an equal amount
of the preferred. Mr. Dresser said he ob
jected to obligating himself personally,
but Mr. Schwab explained the deal would
have to be carried out that way, and
on the day for payment he would pro
vide the cash to make the payment.
Then Dresser and Nixon were to hand
the cash to Morgan & Co., who would
hand over the -Bethlehem stock mentioned
in the contract The deal was consum- j
mated on August 11, 1902, Mr. Schwab j
giving nis personal check, wnicn was in
dorsed, over to J. P. Morgan & Co. For
the stock of the Bethlehem Company Mr.
Dresser said there was really given
$10,000,000 in bonds, $9,000,000 in common
stock, and $9,000,000 in preferred. There
was some talk of pooling the stock of the
shipbuilding company, he said, Mr.
Schwab insisting that all stock he held
until his nnd Mr. Morgan's had been put
on the market
A paragraph was read from the agree
ment referring to the authority to sell
15,000 shares of the common and a like
amount of the preferred stock, and Mr.
Dresser said he understood 250,000 sharos
of - the common and 200.000 shares of the
prefcrredBtock of the shipbuilding com
pany were pooled with Harris, Gates &
Co.
After rccers Mr. Dresser said Mr.
Schwab told him he believed the ship
building company had a great future and
he would be willing to put $2,000,000 more
cash into the business if necessary.
When the French underwriting money
did not materialize Mr. Dresser appealed
to Mr. Pam, counsel for Mr. Schwab,
mentioning Mr. Schwab's promise, and
stating that unless $2,500,000 was forth
coming to make good the French under
writing tho Bethlehem. Company could
not get through. Mr. Pam suggested they
call on Mr. Perkins, of Morgan & Co.,
who agreed to deposit the necessary
amount in various institutions, though
not as a loan to the promoters. They
thus obtained $2,100,000. They pledged the
security of the French underwriters and
Lewis, Nixon and he gave th'e notes.
Mr. Dres3cr said he believed until after
the purchase of the Bethlehem stock was
made that Mr. Schwab owned all the
stock. He said only $2,700,000 was ever
received from the French underwriters
out of $4,250,000 he had been assured would
be forthcoming. If the French underwrit
ers had fulfilled their obligations there
would have been no trouble.
Mr. Schwab, he said, obtained control
of the shipbuilding company by getting
men on the board friendly to the Schwab
Interests and getting rid of those opposed
to his Interests. It was Mr, Pam, he said,
who reported that the shipbuilding com
pany had made $1,160,000 In the first three
months of its existence, and the earnings
were shown by the treasurer's report Mr.
Pam had charge, Mr. Dresser said, of
getting the corporation securities listed
on the Stock Exchange. Just about that
time the middle of December,the wit
ness said he appreciated that things
were not In good shape. Mr. Pam asked
the Trust Company of the Republic to
lend the company some money. Mr.
Dresser said his company had gone far
enough, and reminded Mr. Pam of his
pledge that the election of A. C. Gary as
treasurer should relieve the directorate
of all financial worries. Mr. Pam retort
ed, the witness said, that if the Trust
Company of the Republic could not help
the shipbuilding company would transfer
Its account to some company that would.
"I suggested to Mr. Pam," Mr. Dresser
continued, "that the Bethlehem Company,
which was making money, should help
the shipbuilding company out The only
money the Bethlehem Company ever ad
vanced was $250,000 to pay certain Inter
est due to Charles M. Schwab."
Mr. Dresser said he had heard that an
important envelope containing matter
needed in this suit has been missed from
the files of the Trust Company of the Re
public, but declared he had nothing to
do with the abstraction of those papers.
in cross-examination, witness saia ne
understood that he was given authority
to borrow $4,000,000 on the credit of the
Trust Company of the Republic, and he
had not been advised that It was a crim
inal offense, nor did he know it Stocks
and b&nds of the shipbuilding company,
he believed, were accepted' as security
for the loans he made to put the deal
through. The $4,100,000 borrowed from the
banks In which It had been deposited by
Mr. Perkins, of J. P. Morgan & Co., was
credited to the shipbuilding company. At

sands of cases, which demonstrates
tne absolute accuracy of our un
derstanding and treatment of this
disorder. We are equally certain
that no treatment other than this
can completely and permanently re
store strength and vigor.
Varicocele
Varicocele Interferes with local
circulation and the process of
waste and repair throughout th,e
organs involved. When neglected
It brings total or partial loss of
power, and may result in wasting
away of the organs themselves. We
cure varicocele In the shortest time
possible. Our method is absolutely
painless, no surgical operation Is re
quired, and there need be no de
tention from business.
Contracted. Disorders
Absolute safety demands the most
thorough treatment In all con
tracted diseases. If men but real
ized the danger attending such ail
ments, they would not think of en
trusting their cases In unskilled
hands. Unless every particle ofvln
flammatlon Is removed, a. chronic
stage follows just as surely as night
follows day. We cure the disease
thoroughly and will not dismiss a
patient till every possibility of a
relapse Is past.
Quick Cures Certain Cures
We cure the worst cases of piles
permanently without the use of
ointments, without pain, cutting or
detention from business, in from
two to three treatments. Our treat
ment is entirely new and peculiar
to ourselves. Remember, no mat
ter who has failed before in your
case we will cure you with mild
methods, and without danger, or
else make no charge whatever for
our services.
Should you live at a distance, we
can treat you successfully at home.
WE ARE ALWAYS WILL
ING TO WAIT FOR OUR
FEE UNTIL A CURE IS
EFFECTED.
Specific Blood Poison
Until the perfection of our system
of treatment, specific blood poison
was regarded as Incurable, and tho
limit of medical aid was to keep
the disease dormant by the use of
strong mineral drugs. We positively
drive the last taint of virus from
the system. Our cures are absolute.
Every symptom vanishes to appear
no more.
Stricture
We cure this disease without cut
ting or dilating. The treatment we
employ is original with us, and has
been perfected to a degree that
renders a cure an absolute certain
ty. All obstructing tissues are re
moved by a process of absorption-,
and the membranes of the urinary
passages are thoroughly cleansed
and restored to a healthy state.
Consultation free. Send for our
question blank and book if you can
not call.
