6 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906. TRANSPORT ON FIRE Cargo, of Meade Ablaze at . Bay City Dock.. 7 THREE MEN ARE KILLED Three - Score Men Are Overcome While Fighting Flames Between l)ccks In Imminent Danger of Being Blown Up.r SAN, FRANCISCO, -Feb. L Three dead and 58 Injured", mostly by suffocation. Is the record of a fire that raged on the Uni ted States transport Meade as she lay at the Fplsom-street dock, early this morn ing. The dead are: CAPTAIN CHARLES DAKIN". Of engine company No. 1, San Francisco Fire Depart ment:. Jell unconscious into the water of the hold and was drowned; leaves a wife and son. HOSEMAX THOMAS HENNESSEY, of en gine company No. 4; suffocated to death while fighting Arc in the hold; leaves a wife and three children. . THIRD OFFICER GEORGE WALLACE, of transport Meade; suffocated while climbing ladder from hold and fell back unconscious, dying h6rt time later; was 25 years old and -a native of Sydney, N. B. W. For three hours after midnight thc-for-ward "hold of the big troopship -was a roaring furnace, whence firemen were borne .la an almost continuous stream. Helays1 of men promptly stepped forward to take the places of those who were car ried oiit unconscious. Tons-of high explosives were loaded In the after part of the vessel, and the heroic firefighters worked with the possibility ever before them that the flames would reach .this compartment. Had this oc curred, the whole city would probably have been shaken by a terrific explosion arid no man aboard would have escaped. Owing probably to the fact that an In fernal machine was found in the bunkers of the. transport Thomas on her last voy age, the. rumor was circulated that a plot haa been laid to fire the Meade at sea, as she was to have departed for Manila to day. Major C. A. Devol, chief of the Transport Service, is investigating this theory with great care. He Is having the cargo, taken from the compartment where the fire started, with a view to discover ing the Teal cause of tho disaster. The flames did not spread from compartment No. 2. Dock Captain Dunn gave It as his opinion that some of the officers had packed matches in their trunks, and that these .were Ignited in loading. The surprising fact developed late today that the property loss amounted to only $2S. This was the estimate made by Major Devol. "When the water had been pumped' from the hold and the debris removed. It was ascer tained that the fire had been confined to a space about six feet square. There was very llttlo flame, the Are being of a smothering variety that emitted great volumes of smoke. Investiga tion showed Jhe officers' effects to be safe. It Is believed by some of the offi cials that the fire was due to spon taneous combustion of gun oil and cot ton. Rifles we're In -the vicinity" of the Arc, and It is thought that after clean ing the weapons the men had careless ly tossed the oil-soaked waste Into a heap. A hoard of Inquiry has been ap pointed to make an Investigation. It consists of Captain Simpson, Quarter master's Department; Captain Will iams. Second Infantry, and Lieutenant Campbell, Fourth Infantry. The Meade will sail on Saturday for the Orient. P.U3IPING PLANT AT IJfBLER Electric and Sugar People Plan to Bullet Soon. LA GRANDE, Or..

In which Conrad so licited a bribe from Savage to Influence his action in respect to street paving. Conrad refuses to make any statement. other than that which he has made all along to the effect that he is not guilty of any wrong. What action, if any, will be brought against him. other Council men are Just as silent upon. Three mem bers of the Council sale that impeach ment" proceedings might be begun unless Conrad retdgned before another meeting of the Coancll. Olhers seem to think the placing of evidence in the hands of the Prosecuting Attorney takes, the entire matter out of the hands -of the Council and leaves it with the Prosecuting Attor ney. County Attorney Bates when asked to day what action he would take upon the action of the City Council Investigating committee replied: I have asked for the copy of the evi dence produced before the committee. Until I have read It I am not going to take any action, and I cannot say what will be done. It will depend upon what the committee unearthed or what evi dence It Is prepared to bring forward." If the evidence will stand the test or the courts, it is -understood Bates will file an Information. The. committee of 12 is In a. disorganized condition at present, jOne member. Alexander Balllle, lias resigned and five others will soon do likewise. The Council's exoneration of Mayor Wright and Commissioner Welsh have combined to bring tho work of the self-appointed In vestigators to a sudden halt. It is a. mat ter of conjecture what the next move will be. Notes From Seaside. SEASIDE, Or., Feb, L (Special.)

A weak stomach is most fre quently caused by the over worked and exhausted nervous system. The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. AVhen the nerves are weak or exhausted the sup ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach is impaired, and results in im perfect digestion dyspepsia. Dr. Miles1 Restorative Nerv ine increases nerve force. It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and muscles of the stomach; this produces a healthy activity. Nervine allays the inflamma tion, heab the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to th whole system as Restorative Nervine. "I can't say enough for Dr. Miles Nervine. I don't know what it will dd for others, but It certainly cured ma of stomach trouble, and now I am as well ax I ever was.
