CHICAGO. July 5. Once more the an
nual barbaric orgy of death and mutil
ation, which masquerades under the
guise of patriotic celebration of the
Nation's natal day. has passed and the
fearful cost has been counted In part.
In many homes there Is mourning for
children who have met untimely ends
and adults whose lives have paid the
penalty of wanton folly, while in dark
ened chambers aud hospitals through
out the country He thousands of
maimed and Buffering victims, some
sightless and some disfigured for life,
the work of the demon fireworks.
Same Old Story In Chicago.
In Chicago, as elsewhere, despite the
brave struggle in behalf of a "safe and
sane' Fourth, there wus scant im
provement over previous Fourths, and
the result of all the efforts toward re
form can scarcely even be dignified by
the appellation of near Bane.
The death roll for this year's
Fourth Is 38, and the returns are still
incomplete. At midnight reports of
deaths and casualties were still coming
in and the total of the Injured had
reached 1429.
In Chicago alone, where the crusade
for a safe and sane Fourth was strongest
this ear, there are eight dead and 130
injured. The fire loss In the Nation, so
far as learned, is J41.950. Of this Chi
cago will bear J20.000.
Ravages of Tetanus.
Deadly tetanus last year claimed 73
victims after the noise and excitement
of the Fourth had died away. Flfly
three cases were caused by blank cart
ridges, eight by giant crackers, six by
toy cannons and four by firearms. In
1906 the number of cases that developed
was 89, 54 of which were caused by
blank cartridges. In 1905 it was 104,
of which 65 came from blank cart
ridges. In 1904 there were 99 tetanus
cases, T4 arising from the blank cart
ridges and in 1903 the number ran up
to 392. of which all but 29 cases came
from bulletless joy producers.
HEROES, WHITE OR YELLOW
Officers and Crew of Sinking
Steamer Save Lives.
VICTORIA. B. C, July 3. Details of
the loss of the steamer Powan with SO
lives at the gates of Hongkong was re
ceived by the Empress of India. The
captain tried to run her ashore at Lan
tac, but before she went far the Powan
sank in eight fathoms. The majority
of the passengers were asleeo when the
steamer struck. The loss of the steamer
was marked with much heroism, both
by British officers and Chinese crew.
The Chinese were cool until one man
xprang overboard and disappeared. Then
all was pa ideinonium. but the panic wa3
suppressed. A Chinaman jumped over
board with his wife. Both were saved.
One man with his bride leaped over
board, with her clutching a lifebuoy. He
was drowned and she saved.
Another Chinese with a rope around
his waist passed several people to a
steam laimch. and then was drowned.
The foreigners saved a large number.

ROBS OWN SWEETHEART
Spendthrift Attacks Girl With Razor
to Get Jewels.
.PARIS. July 4. (Special.) For hav
njr attempted to murder his sweet
heart. Mile. Amelie Delavigne. in order
to ret hold of her valuable jewels.
Nicholas Tchernadieff. a Russian sub
lect, has been arrested here. The girl.
who is now lyins between life nd
death in a hospital, here, declares that
she became acquainted with the pris
oner some time at?o and that he from
the very first made love to her until ,
she consented to become eng-aged to I
him. lie was very reckless in his way
of spending money, and she had always
considered him a man of means, and
In fact what she termed a gentleman.
Last night he had arranged to take
her out for the evening-, and asked her
to accompany him to a certain house
in Rue Taylor, where he was to meet
a couple of friends before going to sup
per in a restaurant. At his request
she wore all her jewelry and she sus
pected nothing until he suddenly at
tacked her. knocked her down, and,
brandishing a razor, demanded her to
give up her jewels. She was unable to
offer any resistance, for her attempts to
call the police were quickly stopped by
a gash in her throat inflicted with the
razor, and. having- robbed her of
everything of value, her assailant fled,
leaving her on the floor in a pool of
blood.
A large crowd of people quickly
gathered in the street on hearing the
woman's first cries, but the man was
allowed to escape, declaring that the
woman was in hysterics. It was only
when the unfortunate victim appeared
at the door with blood gushing from
the wound in her throat that the crowd
realized what had happened.
The arrested man was formerly a res
ident of London and has spent some
time in America.
CITY RUNS TROUT FARM
CAB D IFF HAS NOVEL SCHEME
TO REDUCE TAX RATE.
Hatches Fish to Stock Neighboring
Lakes and Sells Fishing Privi
leges to Anglers.
LONDON. July 4. (Special.) In Car
diff, the busy Welsh seaport and coal
field center, the municipal authorities
have found a novel way of reducing:
the tax-rate. The municipality breeds
trout by thousands, turns them into
the lakes of the neighboring hills and
sells the fishing rights to private part
ies. Ail the money received from the
sale of fishing tickets is clear profit on
the enterprise and gees to the relief
of local taxes.
Since 1900, when, the corporation es
tablished its first hatchery and 500
trout were turned out, the business has
grown steadily until now 200,000 esgs
are laid down each year. Artificial
rearing of young trout in nurseries
gives infinitely better results than the
mere natural generation of the fish be
cause they are protected from their
foes. In the natural state only about
3 per cent of the 2000 to 3000 eggs laid
by a female trout would survive and
grow to maturity, but when the young
fry are raised in hatcheries tended
scientifically an enormously larger pro
portion of the fish are successfully
reared.
From the Cardiff hatcheries about
half of the fish raised are sold to stock
the waters of other parts of the coun
try, while the other half are turned
out into the towns, own lakes and rivers
to be fished by the fishermen Cardiff at
a fixed charge for a season's catch. Thus
a novel municipal enterprise Is applied to
the relief of the taxes, the profit of the
city and the pleasure of the citizens.
SHOOTS BULLETS AT HOUSE
German Opens Rifle Fusilade Be
cause He Dislikes Greeks.
" Wilhelm Wiegand, a German black
smith living in a rooming-house, at
Twelfth and Glisan streets, combined the
sentiments of patriotism and revenge
about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, by lean
ing out of his window and riddling the
house opposite, occupied by a number of
Greeks, with a 44-caliber Winchester rifle.
He used up nearly a boxful of cartridges
and to the fact that the rapidity of his
fire jammed the ejector so that it failed
to work, the arresting officers possibly
owe their lives for he snapped his rifle
at Sergeant Windorf and Officer Bigelow
when they came after him.
When taken to the police station
Wiegand explained his actions by saying1
that he did not like those Greeks anyhow.
He said he had been in the city three
months, coming here from Texas. An
inquiry will likely be made into his
sanity.

SWETT FOR POLICE JUDGE?
Persistent Rumors Say He Is Mayor
Lane's Appointee.
Indications pointing; for the past
week that Mayor Lane had decided to
appoint Isaac Swett as the new police
judge to succeed Judge Cameron, were
further strengthened last night by the
Insistent rumor that the appointment
of Mr. Swett had actually been made.
The Mayor had announced yesterday
afternoon when he left the City Hall
that he had not made a selection as yet
of Judge Cameron's successor, and that
he did not expect to make an an
nouncement of his choice until the
last moment. Notwithstanding; this
assurance on the part of the Mayor,
rumors from sources supposed to he
"in the know" had it positively that
the Mayor had settled upon Mr. Swett
as the man of his choice for the posi

palgn began at Fairview yesterday. Mr.
Bryan addressed delegations from tx
states to a dim refrain of bursting fire
crackers four miles away, and Mrs.
Bryan saw the beginning of the end of
her lawn. A caravan from Pennsyl
vania, with enthusiasm, but little
brotherly love for National Committee
man Guffey of that state, was the first
to arrive at 10:30 in the morning, and
from that timo on. with the contribu
tions of the South, in the way of vis
itors and an influx of holiday-makers
from the adjacent country. who
brought their lunches and ate them, for
the most part, in the Bryan back yard,
to the resplendent arrival of the Cook
County Democracy, headed by a brass
band and Robert E. Burke, the on

tinued with scarce an interruption.
Train after train emptied loads of

participated in having a none too sane
Fourth of July celebration and took trol
ley cars for the Democratic Mecca.
All told, the delegates received up to
8 o'clock tonight numbered SOU. to say
nothing of other visitors. Mr. Bryan
beamed upon them, he smiled at them,
he welcomed them with cheerful bene
diction and he told them he hoped to see
them pass in review before the White
House on March 4.
Mr. Bryan broke the rule of his life in
responding to the Pennsylvania delega
tion, the first to arrive. He commented
on a factional fight in a state to the dis
paragement of one faction, and Tom L,.
Johrson. who stood near by, followed
with a brief talk in which he said he was
glad that Mr. Bryan had spoken as h3
had. It was National Committeeman
Guffey, of Pennsylvania, who came In for
the scoring.
Another factional fight that in Chicago,
between the friends of Hobert E. Burke
and Roger C. Sullivan came to the front
with the visit of the Cook County Democ
racy, though only in a veiled way.
The weather throughout the day was
ideal, although late in the afternoon
the heat became somewhat . oppressive
too oppressive to stand bareheaded, Mr.
Bryan remarked to members of the Chi
cago party, wn0 were standing respect
fully, hats in hand.
"Those of you who are as bald as I am
will find it more comfortable with your
hats on." said lie and his lead was fol
lowed by a large number.
Political events of the day, if there were
any. were not obvious. Mayer Johnson,
of Cleveland, whose position as National
committeeman for Ohio, Is threatened by
Harvey Garb?r. came early and stayed
late in an endeavor to have a thorough
understanding with the Democratic
leader. At noon he was chewing a straw
and exchanging gossip on the lawn with
members of various delegations which
were claiming Mr. Bryan's time to the
exclusion of other matters of greater Im
portance to partv leaders. .
HEW UNITS M FORMED
PRESIDENT CHANGES BOUN
DARIES OF RESERVES.
Intention Is to Make Supervisions
as early Equal in Size as
Is Practicable.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 5. The President has just
signed executive orders making impor
tant changes in the boundaries of prac
tically all the National forests in the
State of Washington. This is another
stop in the comprehensive plan of redis
ricting the National forests in all of the
Western States. No addition to the for
est area is involved in the redisricting
plan. The .object .of the work is to equal
ize the areas of administrative units and
to arrange their boundaries in such n
manner as to promote the most practical
and efficient administration of the for
ests. It will enable officers of the Forest
Service to give prompt attention to all
forest business and further the interests
and add to the convenience of stock
men, lumbermen, miners and other users
or settlers in the National forests. The
Washington National for?sts which will
be affected by this rearrangement are as
follows:
The CheU.n National forest will have
an area of 2.04S.C40 acres and will consist
of that portion of the Washington Na
tional forest formerly known as the
Washington (Bast). It is located in Che
lan and Okanogan Counties. The forest
will continue to he administered by Su
pervisor George W. Milham. with head
quarters at Chelan. Wash.
Approximately ii-IS.SSO acres, comprising
the southern portion of the Rainier for
est, will form the new Columbia National
forest. It Is located in Lewis. Cowlitz.
Klickitat. Skamania and Yakima Coun
ties: The forest is to be administered by
Acting Supervisor Thomas P. McKenzie.
with headquarters at Portland. Or. Mr.
McKenzie is promoted to this position
from Deputy Supervisor of Wenaha for
est. Xcw Colville Forest.
No change is made in the boundaries of
the Colville forest, which has an approxi
mate area of S59.520 acres, located in
Okanogan and Ferry Counties. It will
also continue to be administered by Su
pervisor W. W. Cryder, with headquar
ters at Republic. Wash.
The Olympic forest also remains with
out change and has an approximate area
of 1.594.560 acres and is located in Clal
lam. Chehalis and Mason Counties, un
der the administration of Supervisor Fred
Hansem, with headquarters at Hoodsport,
Wash.
The Rainier forest includes the north
ern part of the old forest of this name
and a small part of the Washington (W.)
and will have aproxlmately 1.676,160 acres.
It is located in Pierce, Lewis. Skamania,
Kittitas and Yakima Counties. This for
est will continue to be administered by
Supervisor G. F. Allen, with headquar
ters at Ortlng, Wash.
Snoqualmie Is the appropriate name
which has been given the southwest por
tion of what was formerly known as tha
Washington (West), with an area of ap
proximately 1.004. 165 acres. It is located
In Snohomish and King Counties and wilt
be administered by Supervisor Burt P.
Kirkland, with headquarters at Seattle,
Wash.
Washington Forest Reserve.
The Washington forest will have an
area of 1,493,400 acres and will include
the northern portion of what was for
merly called the Washington (West). It
is located In Whatcom. Skagit and Sno
homish Counties. This forest is to be
administered by Supervisor Charles H.
Fiory. with headquarters at Bellingham,
Wash.
The Wenaha forest remains without
change and contains S13.342 acres, and it
is located in the States of Washington
and Oregon. This forest will continue to
be administered by Supervisor J. M.
Schmitz. with headquarters at Walla
Walla, Wash.
The forest to be known as the We
natchee forest includes the southeastern
part of the former Washington forest
and has an approximate area of 1.37S.539
acres. It is located in Chelan and Kitti
tas Counties and will be administered by
Supervisor A. H. Sylvester, with head
quarters at Leavenworth. Wash.
The Forest Service desires to reduce the
area of the average administrative units
to approximately 1.000.000 acres. This was
not possible in all cases, as is shown by
the fact that under the plan of redisrict
ing there will be 144 Supervisors In the
United States who will administer more
than 167.OCO.O0O acres of National forests.
ARE "GUILTY OF POVERTY"
SQUATTER TENANTS OF LADY
CATHCART GO TO JAIL.
Crowd In Edinburgh Cheers Ten
n a ins Who Took Land Noble
woman Would Not Rent.
LONDON. July 5. (Special.) Eng
land was spared the sign of seeing
His Majesty's government sending out
a waiship to capture a few poor squat
ters who had committed no crime ex
cept taking possession of the unin
habited island of V atcrsay and offer
ing to pay the owner. Lady Gordon
Cathcart, for the privilege of raising
what little they needed to keep them
selves and their families from starva
tion, for the men voluntarily came to
Edinburgh hoping to find Justice, as
they had already found sympathy all
over England.
Justice indeed they did find, for they
were sentenced to two months In
prison, because they would rather
work for a living than become pub
lic charges, but be it said In Justice
to the English people that it would
be hard to find a less popular woman
in the United Kingdom than Lady
Cathcart, who had never .cared for or
thought of her island possession until
she found it was of use to somebody.
Crowd Cheers Prisoners.
When the men arrived at the Scotch
capital they were received by a cheer
ing crowd, who wished them every
success. In court the prosecutor tried
to make it appear that these unfor
tunate men were lawless and unprin
cipled, and that they had seized the
property of Lady Cathcart. though she
had always been their benefactress.
Against this spoke the report of the
Sheriff whose duty It had been to
arrest them, and who testified that
they were respectable, courteous, In--'"---
nr.fl k'n-h"arted people. The
report showed that the noble lady her-a.-:
ltsuunsible for what had
happened, anj that it' vas her indif
ference to their sufferings which had
driven them to adopt desperate meth
ods. It was shown that the houses in
which they wure compelled to live
were filthy and unsanitary because
Lady Cathcart would not spend a
penny for repairs, and that this had
caused a typhus epidemic.
One Case In Point.
In one case typhoid fever broke out
while the head of the family was
away fishing. Jeaving at home his old
father and mother, a daughter of 16
and four younger children. The old
couple died unattended by any physi
cian, and no one would go near the
house. The coffins we: e left near the
house, and the young girl had to drag
them in and place the already decom
posed bodies in them without any as
sistance. For 25 years these people had peti
tioned Lady Cathcart praying to be
granted land for which they were willing
to pay. but she had never even an
swered them, although she had plenty
of available land. When the men
eeized the island they were desperate
and saw no other way out of their
misery.
The Judges were unable to see any
reason for leniency, but it is expected
that the King will pardon the men,
and they were loudly cheered when
they were taken away to prison.
This happened in England, not in
Russia'.

MILITARY PARTY
AGAIN IN CONTROL
Fall of Japanese Cabinet'
Means Victory for Yama- j
gafa Over Ito. j
WAS DOOMED FROM FIRST;
Salonji Without Friends Except Ito
Lost Prestige Through Failure
of Financial Measures Blamed
for Trade Stagnation.
TOKIO, July 5. (SDecial.) The col
lapse Of the SalOnti PHhlnef an tho
selection of Marquis Katsura as head
ut a new ministry places ministerial
power again in the hands r th Vnm-
agata military faction, where, it was
irom me end of the last Ito Cabinet,
In 1901, through the war nerlnri until
Katsura was forced out by popular dis
content over the Portsmouth treaty.
Underlying all politics among the
Japanese is the division between the
two factions headed by Prince Ito and
Prince Yamagata. respectively. Though
not composed wholly of members of his
political party, the Salonji ministry
represented Prince Ito's faction. It
was not strong in Its personnel.
In Trouble From First.
That the Cabinet would be in trouble
almost from the first, and that it would
collapse was predicted more than a
year ago. In several crises Marquis !
Salonji desired to suiender, but was j
prevented rjy the Influence of Prince
Ito.
Although the Ministry weathered the
storm of the last Diet, it has continued
to lose favor with the people, especially
with that body most potent in shaping
Japan's affairs, the six elder statesmen
comprising that unofficial body of Imper
ial advisers. Only Prince Ito was Salon
ji' s strong supporter. Differences between
the Ministry and these powerful in
fluences, backed by almost the whole inde
pendent press, became more acute during
recent conferences over the government's
financiering methods, which were held
responsible for the impossibility of ne
gotiating further loans abroad. In the
popular mind the present stagnation of
Japanese trade and Industry is due to
the Ministry's inefflicient financiering.
s No Issue of Principle.
The victory of the ministerial party in
the recent parliamentary elections did not
change the status of affairs. The decision
in all matters of first Importance is made
by the Influences operating over the
heads of the political parties.
There are no apparent issues of principle
between the Ito and the Yamagata fac
tions. The military party's programme for
increased armaments was followed by the
Salonji ministry, whose loss of prestige is
due almost wholly to the financial situa
tion. 50 ELOPES

Her Unfaithfulness.
PARIS. July 5. Signora Caruso, wife of
the famous tenor, has eloped with a

London. Caruso is broken hearted.
Mme. Caruso accompanied her husband

BERNHARDT QUITS CHAIR
Could Not Enter Legion of Honor
as Teacher of Art.
PARIS. July 4. (Special.) Mme. Sara
Bernhardt has resigned her professorship
of dramatic art at the Paris conserva
toire, to which she was appointed on
February 15. 1007. It was practically an
open secret that this was a means where
by Mme. Bernhardt hoped to grain the
cross of the legion of honor which had
been refused her as an actress, last Jan
uary, when her name was suggested by
the Minister of Public Instruction.
The fact that the coveted distinction has
Btill been withheld from her Is evidently
the cause of Mme. Bernhardt's resigna
