BABIES DIE BY SCORES Heat I Principal Ciiy Given for Mortality Many Children Wan der From Home Storm I Traveling Ka.-tward. CHIi-AGO. May 20. Light showers In 1h afternoon and a heavy elertrlcai form before sundown brought an end today to the week of burning-hot weath er, whlrh prostrated citizens In numbers previously unheard of at tnia time of the year. In addition, the electric storm wrought havoc In telephone and tele graph wires. Ths first trouble to elertrl-al wires was reavhrd not many miles from Chi cago, north and west, but Ister wires to the east began to give way. Indicating that the disturbance was moving; across the North Central States toward the At lantic seaboard. Fifty-three babies under 1 year old. and most of them only a few weeks old. dlrd during the four days of ex treme heat from May 1 to May IS In clusive. u Tne mortuary records showed that the babies died almost as rapidly as tney came. I nseasonable heat, spoiled milk, bad ventilation, and Improper care were gtveu by physicians as causes of death. The police also announced that nearly a score of children, boys and girls from 111 to II years old. had been reported missing during the hot days. The po- lire believe msny of them wandered from the city. ern Pacific lines between Portland and Grants Pass today, returning to thla city late tonight.

Mr. P pence and Mr. Bassinger are In the Northwest to study the traffic sit uation, as Indicated by the condition of the crops and by the reports which they are leathering from the agents at every point on the system, as well as from the general offices in this cUv. Yesterday they were conducted over Portland by local traffic men and J. P. O'Brien, general manager. They were Interested particularly In the colliding artivlties here. Mr. Spence declaring that he never has visited a city 'n which so many substantial structures were In course of erection at the same time. Some time was spent in the terminal district and along "implement row." bordering on the Southern Pa cific tracks on the Kast Side. "From all I have learned on my pres ent trip." declared Mr. Spenee. "I be lieve both grain and fruit will produce better than average crops this year. The fruit outlook especially is encour aging. "We always are Interested In North west conditions, as this territory grad ually is becoming one of the heaviest producers of traffic on the system. At this time of the year we aim to check up crop conditions, so that we call gauge the traffic movement for tne season. "In addition to the products of the orchards and fields, we are - expecting heavy traffic In fish and lumber out of the Northwest. Every Indication that I have observed on my pefsent trip points to continued prosperity for this region." Mr. Spenee added that financial con ditions at the time he left his office In Chicago were not highly encouraging, although he predicted better times be fore the end of the year. Money Is plentiful, he commented, but there seems to be some hesitancy about in vestments. With the Standard Oil case disposed of by the Supreme Court, investors will feel less uneasiness. Before the court's finding was announced the commercial world lived in suspense, although the nature of the decision was generally anticipated. J. C. Stuhhs. traffic director of the Harrlman system, who has announced Ma Intention to retire next year, will take a trip to Portland and the North west before the end of the year, re ported Mr. Sprnce. He Is deeply Inter ested here, and desires to make a fare 11 swing around the circle before closing his eventful and highly si ccess. ful railway career.

PARIS. France. May Iff. Ths ont thing to be deduced from the princi pal events for the approaching aero plane season la that the day of the "circus" meeting has gone not to re turn. Public and aviator alike are tired of circling around the derricks of an aerodrome. ..ie timid flutters of two years ago have been succeeded by long rambles from two to town. The practical ap plication of the aeroplane Is In sight, for machines have been constructed capable of carrying 10 or 12 passen gers. A dozen schools In France sre turn ing out pilots every day to add to the list of more than 200 on the registers of the Aeronautical Federation. To provide a field for the ambition of these young birds, three great races have been arranged. Paris to Madrid Is Next. The first. In date and possibly also in difficulty. Is that organized by the Petit Parislen from Paris to Madrid, starting May 21. The Journey has been divided Into three stages: Paris to Angouleme, Angoulcme to St. Sebastian and St. Sebastian to Mad rid. The first and second er.tgef seem quite easy. The real danger lies in the third stage, from St. Sebastian to Madrid. Aviators have to pass, according to the rules issued by the organizers, for a distance of 60 or 80 kilometers over mountains nearly 4000 feet high. This race la endowed by the Petit Parislen with a prize of t:000 to the winner. In addition, the Spanish Aero Club gives jinxes of 110.000. Aerial Stars Entered.

L.C.B. ROM out of the gloom of tlie North- and somewhere came a bunch of near-actors, headed by Paul GUmore, and settled at the Heilig Theater yes terday for two performances. The first one butchered was that dear pretty comedy by the late Clyde Fitch. "The Bachelor." Then last evening- they per petrated a mushy, maudlin melodrama that once was known as "The Mummy nnd the Humming-bird." A company of stars couldn't hare achieved any results with this ancient bit of stage architecture, so what on earth could we expect from one made up of barnstormers whose talents barely fit them for minor parts in "ten-twenf-thlrf " shows? They made a sadder recital of it than they knew. There Is positively nothing more really tragic than laughter and tears at the wrong places. That part of the audience that remained, after whole parties began to troop out should be awarded medala for bravery. Just where the big fault is would be sn Augeun task to discover. Paul GU more. whn he ued to come playing amongst us with his college plays, par ticularly In his "Boys of Company B," had a fair following. It surely must be ttsst. like other actors who Insist on being their own managers and atarrlng at the head of an Inferior company, the conscience of the gentle men is In Wis money box. Kven so, there is absolutely no excuw for such tawdry stage productions In Portland, Kveryone wno went wished he'd gone instead to a good moving-picture show. Minnesota Man Stricken on Street.

AliDEO FACES ACCUSER 1IK AXD DE ANGELIS CHARGED WITH CUOCCOLO MURDER. Italian Statesmen Hear Amadeo DriTen Into Corner When Dam aging Facts Are Shown. VITERBO. Italy. May 20. Ex Premler Baron Sonnino and Signors Salandrla, Ricclo and Chinlentl, all former Cabinet ministers, were pres ent at today's sitting of the Camorra trial when the Interrogation of Tomasso de Angells continued. Dr. Angells with Gaetano Amadeo, both of whom are crown witnesses. Is charged by Giacamo Ascrittore with being one of the actual murderers of Cuocollo, for which crime the Caraor rists are now on trial, and it is alleged by Ascrittore that a wound which De Angells had on his leg was received during his fight with Cuoccolo. De Angells by his testimony at tempted to demonstrate that while fishing in the sea at Utica some years ago he slipped and hurt his leg. Following the examination of De- Angells, Amadeo was interrogated. He said he knew De Angells wnue tney were in prison. Amadeo admitted he had committed many thefts, but be came reluctant when questioned about several burglaries for which he still nan be tried. During a previous examination Amadeo tried to establish an alibi by saying he went to Acerra. seven miles from Naples, on the morning of the Cuoccolo murder to obtain a position as coachman. His employer, however, has said Amadeo reached Acerra two days after the crime. Amadeo was forced to admit he was mistaken as to the date. He maintained that the wound on his wrist, which was bandaged at the time of the Cuoccolo murder and which Ascrittore asserts was received in the fight, was the result of an accident several months before the crime. Among the objects found by the police in the home of Amadeo was a burglar's outfit, the presence of which he could not explain. This fact brought forth an exclamation from Corrado Sortino, one of the alleged actual Cuoccolo murders: 'That brings to my mind a signifi cant clew to the perpetrator of th crime. Amadeo wore a black tie like that found on the . bed of Cuoccolo's wife." CHILDREN HELP BRIDGE Buttons Worn to Advertise Sooth Portland Project.
