DOCTORS DISCUSS DISEASE American Public Health Assocatlon Speakers All Lay Great Stress on the Importance of a Pure Milk Supply. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. The first reg ular session of the thirty-first annual meeting -of the American Public Health' Association was held here today. After the convention -was called to order by Dr. Walter Wyman, Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital and Public Health Ser vice, General George M. Sternberg, Sur geon-General of the United States Army, delivered an address, in which he dealtf at length on- the efforts which have been made to stamp out disease and guard against epidemics. He digressed from his paper to remark that since it was written the present attack of yellow fever In Texas had developed, and de clared lie would not have believed it jjob , slble with the association's present knowl "tedge that yellow fever could have ob tained a foothold there. "Somebody is responsible," he said, although cholera, yellow fever and bu bonic plague," he continued, "are no longer feared by sanitarians. We have not yet conquered our epidemic filth dis ease, typhoid fever, and tuberculosis, still claims nearly 150,000 victims annually within the limits of the United States." Animal Diseases in Food. The report of the commission on animal diseases In food, having reference to the phase of tuberculosis, which relates to Its transmission from the animal to hu man beings, was presented by Dr. D. E. Salmon, of the bureau of animal industry, Washington, D. C. Clinical evidence. j statements and experimental tests, he bovine tuberculosis was a factor in hu man tuberculosis. The source of the milk fcupply, he said, should be carefully at tended to. In the discussions which followed Dr. Juan Gultteras, of Havana, the yellow fever expert, said- that although in Cuba the invariable custom Is to boil milk, he believed the Infantile tuberculosis In Cu ban children is as frequent as anywhere else. The committee on car sanitation, report ed by Dr. Hurley, of Indianapolis, Ind., said there is unanimity of opinion re garding the transportation by common carriers of persons sick with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, leprosy, yellow fever and typhoid. Cars Are Sowers .of Diseases. At the afternoon session there was gen eral discussion of the question of car ventilation, the consensus of opinion be ing that the air in sleeping cars becomes vitiated, and that they are fruitful sources of disease. The delegates were outspoken In condemnation of the alleged lack of attention to the matter of clean ing blankets and furnishings in sleeping cars. Dr. J. H. McCormick, of the State Board of Health of Kentucky, declared an official investigation into the subject made by him disclosed the fact that the blankets were cleaned only once every six months. The report of the committee on the "cause -or prevention of infant mortal ity" --waj? -read by- Div Hiry -Mitchell, . chairman of the State Board of Health, Asbury Park. N. J. The remarkable diminution in the number of deaths among infants during the past 10 years, he said, has been by many ascribed to the recognition by medical practitioners of the advantages which attend cleanly methods in the collection, storage and preparation of cows milk for Infants who are artificially fed. The deaths from diphtheria have diminished. Measles and whooping cough have varied but little in their periodical recurrence. The measures regarded as most promis ing for a further reduction of the mor tality among Infants, the commlttetr-sald, are the most general adoption of cleanly methods In the collection, cooling and handling of cows' milk; the abolish ment of breeding places for flies near dwellings and their exclusion from con tact with food; the erection of improved tenements in cities, and the effectual iso lation of all cases of communicable dis eases. Danger in Immigration. In a paper on "Immigration, As It Af fects the Public Health." Dr. A. J. Mc laughlin, assistant surgeon, Marine Hos pital Service, declared the real danger lies in that class of immigrants whose phys ique is much below the American stand ard, whose employment Is In the sweat shop, and whose residence Is the East Side tenement In New Tork City. The feature of tonight's session of the association was the annual address of the president. Dr. Walter Wyman, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service. Dr. Wyman said in part: "I believe that the unsanitary condition or our cities presents a condition parallel to that of their political corruption. Mu nicipal betterment would proceed faster if Its promoters realized that an achieve ment may fail when too much at one time is attempted, but may succeed by efforts In detail. By seizing upon one highly Important element of municipal reform and for the time being concentrating all energies upon it, citizens would achieve a success not only Invaluable In Itself, but one which would serve as a point of vantage for other efforts." Moral reforms, he said, would easily follow better ' sanitation. Large cities, here and abroad, he said, have shown the effect on health and commercial prosper ity of purely sanitary measures. Among others he mentioned New York, with its tenement-house victories; San Francisco, In its sanitary struggle In Chinatown; Memphis, with Its sewerage formation In the warfare against yellow fever, and Havana. Dr. Wyman expressed the pplnlon that popular interest in sanitary reforms might be enlisted through the agency of Hbor unions, which already have mani fested their own interest In sanitation and are nearer to the great voting public than any other organized bodies In cities. "To awaken the Interest of poor in measures for their own betterment," he said, "Is preferable to seeking aid of phil anthropic millionaires." CHURCH DEPLORES DIVORCES. Universallsts Condemn Hasty and III Considered Marriages. WASHINGTON, Oct 27. Strong action was taken by the Unlversallst convention at Its afternoon session on the divorce question.

The conven tion of the Interstate Mississippi Im provement & Levee Association met here today. - The delegates represent 15 states of the Mississippi and Ohio Val leys and include Governors, Senators, members of Congress, high railroad of ficials and representatives, of commercial exchanges and levee boards. President Roosevelt sent a letter, in which he said: "Exactly as I have taken interest in irrigation in the arid " regions, so I feel that the movement for thoroughly pro tecting the Mississippi lowlands by levees is one of the utmost Importance to the whole country, no less to the people im mediately adjoining the great' river. I wish all success to your convention and shall .follow Its proceedings with close attention." Secretary of Agriculture Wilson dressed the convention tonight. ad- EI0T AT SAN QUENTIN. Convicts Try to Murder Guard Who Acts Brutally. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 27.-The in side yard of San Quentln Prison bore all the appearances of a bedlam Sunday afternoon and for a time the prospects of a riot among the convicts was immi nent. Several hundred prisoners were chasing a fleeing guard, threatening to lynch him should they overtake him, and that a tragedy was not enacted then and there was due to the guard's fleetness of foot Instead of any unwillingness on the part of his pursuers. It was 2 o'clock when the line of men had formed in "Jhe " mess room that the trouble started. .A convict stepped from the ranks to obtain paper with which to wrap up some food which is permitted on Sundays, as this meal is the last until next morning. He was. approached by one of the new guards, an ex-soldler, whose name the authorities refuse to disclose, and was pushed back into his place. Words followed between the two, and the guard struck the prlsdher vyith his cane, knocking him insensible and inflict ing a severe scalp wound. The men were then ordered to their places and their comrade was dispatched to the hospital. During the meal the convicts discussed the encounter and by the time they left the dining-room preparatory to the lock ing up their anger was thoroughly aroused. As they caught sight of the guard who wielded the cane they made a concerted nlsh in his direction, shout ing "Kill him, lynch him." The uproar was deafening, rules being cast to the wind. The object of their vengeance con siderately took to his heels, shouting as he sped along, "I'm not the man you want, I'm not the man." It was In reality a race for life, for the prisoners were In a murder ous frame of mind and would have stopped at nothing could they have laid hands on their Intended victim. He however managed to reach the lower gate first, through which he made his escape. His call was a close one, for the gate closed literally in the face of a howling, mutinous mob. STANFORD TEAM WEAKENED. Chemawa Indians May Escape Severe Walloping For Multn.omah. SANFRANCISCO, Oct. 27. Special.) Tomorrow afternoon the Chemawa In dians from Oregon will meet the cardinal football eleven at Stanford. The speedy redskins though beaten by the State Uni versity team last Saturday 40 to 0, do not anticipate any such defeat. Serious doubt, moreover, prevails in the Stanford camp as to the outcome of the contest, in view of their .failure to defeat the Nevada team. The Stanford line-up will show some material changes tomorrow. Wellcr, the crack fullback, will not participate. Hauverman, the 'varsity center, is on She sick list, as Is Clark at right end. In addition Hyde and Stillman have been moved to the front eleven and Vansicke and Chllds substituted. The weakened Stanford team will average ten pounds to the man heavier than the Indians. The Multnomah Athletic Club, of Port land, will play the State University team next Saturday. The coaches look forward to a hard contest, as report has it that Captain McMillan will bring .a strong aggregation. The University of California will play Its strongest team. Arrange ments have been made to entertain the visiting clubmen during their stay here. The university management has hoped that Locomotive Smith would spend a week at Berkeley in coaching the team, but he has written that his team at the University of Oregon will demand all his time. STONE TO REBUILD ABERDEEN Superior Quality of Sandstone Is Found Within City Limits. ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 27. (Special.)

Samuel Benn, the founder of Aberdeen, owns a large portion of the land and will develop a quarry. He will, with Alvin Hemrlch, the Seattle brewer, build two stone blocks on F street. The discovery is of great importance to the people as Mr. Benn is liberal and will sell It at a low figure. Most of Dab ney Hill"' was sold during the boom In small, lots to Eastern people. Walla Walla Bank Nonsuited. PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 27. The now fa mous case of the First National Bank at Walla Walla, of which Senator Levi An-d keny is president, against D.vMcDonald, broffght about by a dispute over the old county surveys on a 26-acre tract of land near Weston, Or., was nonsuited yester day afternoon before Judge Ellis, -of the Circuit Court. The bank claimed the land now in dispute. The defense brought In Alex. Walker, who claimed the land. By these fects the defense showed the plaintiff held , the land only by mortgage and had no fight to bring suit. The interesting feature of the case is that the expense connected with It now amounts to more than the land Is worth. The land Is valued at about $1300. The case had been In the Circuit Court four times and once In the Supreme Court, King Edward Shows Sympathy. LONDON, Oct 27.

DRYDOCK POWER PLANT PORT OF PORTLAND WILL OPER ATE ITS OWN. Rejects the Proposal of the Portland General Electric Company to Furnish Current at St. Johns. The Port of Portland has finally de cided that it will operate Its own power plant at the drydock. The proposal of the Portland General Electric Company to furnish power for the dock was rejected yesterday and Commissioner Thomas, who is now in the East, was authorized by wire to- .purchase the necessary machinery. Nearly all the time of the meeting was given up to a discussion of the question. President Swlgert read the telegrams re ceived from Mr. Thomas, who wired that he had been offered a new Wcstlnghouse dynamo for $4100, a new boiler for 53673 and a 24 by 2S Corliss engine that had been in use IS months, but was practically as good as a new one, for $2100. The freight on the dynamo and engine would bring ; the total cost up to Jll.SSO. The boiler Is In this city. The bid of the Portland General Electric Company was then read. The company offered to furnish power to the dock at a fixed charge of J000 a year, and an extra charge for actual power used, and was willing to enter into a contract for 12 years. A great deal of figuring was done by the commissioners in comparing this offer with their estimate of the cost of a plant of their own and the comparison was so clearly lii their favor that the bid of the Electric Company was rejected. On motion by Mr. Adams, seconded by Mr. Driscoll, authority was given Mr. Thomas to purchase the plant he had selected. A fuel proposal from a wood company down the river brought Commissioner Driscoll to his feet with an inquiry as to who measured the wood that the com mission bought. So far as anybody knew, no one did, so the clerk was told to write to Superintendent Groves for light on the subject. A letter was read from Captains Betts. Furchen and Peterson In reply to an in quiry as to their opinion of Montgomery dock, whether or not it Is a menace to navigation. These are the only river pilots who were not present at the former meeting, when the dock case was con sidered. Their answer was extremely brief, being as follows: "As we are resi dents of Astoria, It would be injudicious for us to express an opinion on the sub ject." BUYS FIVE VESSELS. Pacific Packing & Navigation Com pany Changes Hands. The five vyjssels constituting the passenger-carrying fleet of the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company, which have been taken over by purchase and transfer of charter by a corporation Just formed in Seattle by Captain Elmer E. Calne and Evan S. McCcrd, and styled the Pacific Navigation Company, are the Jeanle, Ex celsior, Newport, Nome City and Santa Ana. The consideration for the sale of the vessels, charters, good will, etc, is. said to be in the neighborhood of $lio,000. The directors and stockholders of the new company are: Captain Calne. R. V. Ankeny, Evan S. McCord, George W. Dickinson. E. T. Kruse and. James Tyson. Kruse and Tyson are San Franciscans, and the others are residents of Seattle. The officers are: Captain Elmer E. Calne, president; Evan S. McCord, vice-president; J. F. Trowbridge, general manager; W. C Dawson, secretary and treasurer. The fleet will be so operated as to con stitute a line from Seattle to Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, making all the prin cipal way ports save Skagway. During the Winter, at least, the Newport will hold down the far western end of the route, her run belng from' Valdes to Un alaska and return. Hamburg Robbing' Bremen. The movements of shipping traffic are .sometlmescunaccountable, but the modern tendency seems to be toward Its concen tration In a few large ports; small ones, like small vessels and small shipments, go to the wall, says the London Shipping World. Not that Bremen is a small port; but It Is rather surprising to find that last year 210.000 tons of goods left It by sea-going barges for Hamburg, to be there shipped foreign, and that this move ment Is increasing. Emden, however, is already figuring as a new broom of con siderable importance, and some of our Continental friends say It will be made a free port, "like Hamburg." But Ham burg only has a .free zone, where goods can be manufactured and exported free 6f duty: It Is not a free port; and the free zone has not Induced any manufactures In It of Importance. Apart from this. Hamburg is the octopus of Imports and exports of North Germany. The First Life Belt. The following description of a life-belt was published In the London Times of September S, 1803: "A marine spencer has been invented, for the preservation of lives In cases of shipwreck or other acci dents at seru. This spencer consists of a girdle to fit the body, six inches broad, composed of 'mbout 800 old tavern corks strung upon a strong wire, well-lashed to gether with lay-cord, covered wlth can vas, and painted In oil, so as to make it water-proof; when it is wanted. It is to be sllded from the feet close up under the arms, and to be fastened over each shouider by means of tapes or cords. A person thus equipped may safely trust himself to the waves, for he will float head and shoulders above water In any storm, and by paddling with his hands may easily gain the shore." Centennial Is Floated. SEATTLE, ' Oct, 27. The steamship Cen tennial, on the Seattle-San Francisco route, which went ashore about two miles below Alki Point yesterday morning, was successfully floated this iriornlng and reached Seattle about 10:30. The vessel went on the beach during a dense fog. She was at no time In any danger, and when assistance was offered yesterday the captain refused It. stating that he would get off this morning at high tide. Tugs were sent to the assistance of the vessel this morning, but they were hardly needed, as she floated with apparent ease. The Centennial Is now at the Arlington dock, preparing for her departure for San Francisco. Work Stops on .Algoa. The work of loading the big steamship Algoa with flour at the O. R. & N. dock was stopped yesterday and the vessel hauled asfrn while the China liner In drasamha took her place.

R. & N. dock and later the vessel will drop down to the flour mill to finish. It' Is expected she will be ready to sail for the Orient next Monday or Tuesday. Repairs on the Burnslde. SEATTLE.

J WATER THERE IN PLENTY SUNNYSIDE CANAL MAY SOON WATER MANY MORE ACRES. Land Is Said to Be Exceedingly Rk?h -Great Rush If Government Approves the Project. ! OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct 27. (Special.) An extension of tho Sunnyslde Canal to double Its present length and the reclaim ing of over 100,000 acres of arid lands In Yakima County ,1s assured by a proposal that has been prepared by the Washing ton Irrigation Company for submission to the State Land Office and the Govern ment at Washington. Of these lands 56,000 acres will be owned by the state and will be sold at a flat rate of $10 per acre to any one who will secure a water right from the Irrigating company. Liberal terms will be given by both state and company and it is ex pected that territory back of the Rattle snake Range will thereby become one of the best farming districts In the West. The irrigation company has prepared its plans and survey In accordance with the Garber act, passed by the last Legisla ture, which enables the state to con tract with Individuals or corporations for irrigating state lands, and the lands to be reclaimed are a part of S6.000 acres that were set aside about ten years ago under the provisions bf the Cary act. About $25,000 was expended under prev ious administrations In the survey of a proposed canal to be maintained by the state, but owing to lack of appropria tions the work was abandoned. Last year the Government threatened to cancel tho selection of the state for the lands In question because of the state's failure to" reclaim them and the matter was pre sented to the Legislature, with the result that the Garber bill evolved. The Sunnyslde Canal Is now 57 miles long and Its extension to the lands In question Is practicable and the water-supply Is ample. State Land Commissioner S. A. Call vert will leave for Washington City Mon day to present the plans of the proposed Irrigating works to the Government. Up on the approval of the Government the contract with the Irrigating company will be closed and the state lands advertised for sale. A price for water rights and rentals will be fixed and It Is expected that then there wjll be a rush for loca tions similar to those occurring upon the opening of Indian reservations. Assistant Land Commissioner John L. Murray leaves tomorrow for the Govern ment Land Offices in Walla Walla and North Yakima to relinquish the portion of the S6.0C0 acres that will not come un der the extension of the canal and to se lect the 56,000 acres that can be im proved. The lands to be watered have been carefully examined, and it Is claimed will .make the finest alfalfa land that lies out doors and will be worth with water right as high as ?400 per acre. In the same district the odd sections will be railroad lands and these will make up the 100,000 acres that can be Irrigated by the ex tension. The company Is ready to begin work and expects to have the extension completed within 18. months. EXPERIMENT SUCCEEDS. Ladds Metal Company May Soon Put In Larger Plant. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct. 27.
