Beyond Recovery. IS CAUSE OF UNEASINESS I'liysiclauii, However,' Not Alarmed, r as the Disease at No Time Has Reached Epidemic Stage. Itelief Is Kxpected. Thr cases of cerefrro-spinal meningitis, all declared to be fata, were admitted to the St. Vincent's sanatorium late yester day afternoon, and none were expected to survive the night, although it was Im posslbln for the officials to make a detin ue statement In any instance. Charles A. Stockel. a. department man accr for The Pacific Monthly, whose home Is at 1043 Kast Twelfth street North, E'd 90 years, was admitted to the sana torium late in the afternoon and was un conscious. Death ia expected at any mo ment. He has a wife, who Is also em ploye! on the magazine. Ir. Robert J. Marsh attended him. Walter Haffrey, aged 13 years, was taken to the sanatorium late in the after noon. He was under the care of tr. F. W. Hrooke. and was taken ill in his lodgings at S3 North Third street. His case was pronounced hopeless. The third victim to be admitted was lAvrenca Popodrick. a laborer from Hood River, aged 19 years. He was brought to this city two days ago and placed In . the Good Samaritan Hospital, but when Lr. O. H. Wheeler pronounced the case rerebro-splnal meningitis the patient was removed to St. Vincent's sanatorium. I,ast night ha waa unconscious and was reported to b dying. Dr. C. H. Wheeler. City Health Officer, tv' tld torn th (Lot appearance Ql the disease in Portland that there is no epi demic and that no cause for alarm exists, but despite his statements there Is con siderable agitation over its continuance. At the outset physicians declared that warm weather would drive it away, but the recent sunny days have failed to bring the much desired relief. It Is particularly pointed out by phy sicians that the mere fact that several deaths within a month have occurred here is not sufficient to warrant any alarm, as many of the number have come In from towns In various portions of the Btate. Considering the large population, the au thorities explain, the fatalities are not great: in fact, they say the number is not so large as in other diseases. Compared to Seattle and Tacoma. Port land has fared quite well, the statistics show, as in those places there have been as high as 20 deaths in one week. The disease Is general throughout the North west and. being one of the most bafiflng known, is' hasdled with difficulty. Cerebro-spinal meningitis made its ap pearance in Portland about one month ago. since which time it has claimed a number of victims, among them Dr. Ray P. Robbins. a prominent young physician of Sunnyside. A boy employed at the public library died from the malady and the library was closed for a time, being thoroughly fumigated. Out of 17 cases reported up to last Thursday 12 died and there was one death Friday and one Saturday. Miss Tillie Reichart, the nurse who evi dently contracted spinal meningitis from a patient whom she cared for, died yester day at St. Vincent's Sanitarium. She was 2 years of age. No new cases were reported yesterday and It is hoped that the increasing warm weather will pre vent the spread of the disease. Elevator Falls, Injuring Five.'. NEW YORK. April 29.

Amidst the perfume of beautiful flowers, the melody of orchestra music and t'ie applause of an enthusiastic audience, 20 young men and women graduates from- the medical depart ment of the University of Oregon last night received their diplomas and the degrees of M. D. at the High School Assembly Hall. President P. U. Campbell, of the University, conferred the degrees,- while Dr. S. C. Josephl, dean of the medical faculty, awarded the diplomas. Ex-Senator Gearln delivered the commencement address. He vividly portrayed the progress of the medical profession down through the centuries from its crude state to the present day, when science is reducing the mor tality of the operating room. He closed with the following words: These young 'men and women be fore us are of the great future. Thes are happy in the thought that their year's work is ended and well done. The world will be better for their lives and sacrifices to this noble call ing. What has gone before takes us up to the brink of the great mysteries of the discoveries beyond. The world of knowledge lies before them and they will bring all the wisdom of the past to bear on the knowledge of the present, and do their work well." In an - appropriate short address President Campbell conferred the de grees on the 'graduates, followed by the presentation of the Saylor and anatomy medals by Dr. George M.

April 29. Just as soon as his work here in the prosecution of the municipal grafters permits him to absent himself from San Francisco, Francis J. Heney intends going to Port land to take up the indictments against Binger Hermann, former Commissioner of the General Land Office, who was found not guilty last Saturday by the jury In Washington which has been try ing the charge of destroying public rec ords. He is under three indictments for participation In the Oregan land frauds. "I am going to prosecute Hermann." said Heney this morning, "and I think I'll be able to land him in jail where his associates in the Oregon frauds now are. I was in Washington to try him when .the earthquake came and, tried to get a continuance on the charge on which he has just been acaulttcdj but be would not consent to a continuance unless I'd agreed to try the Oregon cases first. "He knew I could not do that, as I had to come back to San Francisco. I left Washington on April 20. 1906, came here and have not been able to go back there since. But as soon as I can get away from here, I am going to take up those other cases. The men who were asso ciated with him were convicted, and I think there is no doubt that he will be convicted too." . ' CROSS OCEAN IN 20 HOURS Graham Bell Predicts Success of Aerial Navigation. LONDON. April 29. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the tele phone. Is quoted in an interview which has appeared here as saying that it was only a question of a brief perlo4 when aerial navigation would make it possible to have dinner in America and breakfast in Europe the next morning, covering the distance across the Atlan tic in less than 20 hours. Dr. Bell said that he expected an airship would be perfected capable of making 175 to 200 miles an hour. He was also of the opinion that the next step tn aerial flight would take the form of such improvements as would make possible the creation of aerial battleships. He was of tlve opinion that America would be the first country to perfect aerial battleships. Accepts Hagerman's Resignation. WASHINGTON. April . 29.
