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.

Davis May Be Convicted.
PENDLETON., Or.. Feb. 1. (Special.)-
The trial ofC. P. Davis, accused of falsi
fylng the county records while Deputy
Sheriff of Umatilla Counts, is all over
but the argument. From the general opln
ion hero it will be safe to guess that Da
vis will be convicted or the Jury will
hanr.
The prosecution scored a good point thY
afternoon when Ben K. Davis, son of the
defendant, was -.on the stand as a hand
writing expert. Davis testified positlvoly
that certain writings were in his father's
hand, but when the dates were examined
it was seen that the writings were mad
seven months after tho cider Davis bad
left the Sheriffs office. The 'case will
probably go to the Jury Friday afternoon
or Saturday morning.

TACOMA COUNCIL MAY IMPEAGH
CONRAD.
Jlember of City Body Is Said to
Hare Solicited a Bribe From
Contractor Savage.
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) In
Its report to the Council, the committee
investigating charges of graft, after ex
onerating Mayor Wright and Commis
sioner Welsh, re-ported that "two wit
nesses claimed to nac overheard a con-
ersatlon between Councilman Conrad ana
Contractor Savage. 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.

WeaK
Stomach.
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. Two physicians
failed to relieve me. but In three or
four days after taking Nervine I was
much relieved. Four bottles made mo
a svmd man. at the cost of J.00."
