FINDS HIS BROTHER DEAD
William Sullivan Dies In Hotel on
Sixth Street.
William M. Sullivan. who had been
fish-deaier in this city for many
years, was found dead in his bed at the
Hotel Quelle, corner of Sixth and Stark

apartments with his older brother in
the hotel, returned home on the early
morning tiain yesterday, to find the
door of the apartment locked and was
unable to get any reply from within.
Summoning the landlady, entrance was
sffeoted, and Sullivan's dead body
found. The body was cold, showing
that death had come some time pre
viously, and as it presented a peculiar
appearance, it was suggested that per
naps death had not resulted from nat
ural causes.
Dr. Dammasch was called In and the
Coroner was notified. After coneulta
;ion between the two. It was decided
o hold a post-mortem examination.
The result showed that Sullivan had
lied of alcoholism, with a trace of
sneumonia. From bis condition after
i irJ5v y tir;V SEfe
death, it was inferred that he had been
drinking heavily for the past - few
months.
Sullivan had been a resident of

years he was in the employ of the
Schuman Fish Company, but for the
year prior to his death he was in

The . company proposes to expend

woolen mill, and a large sum for an
excelsior manufacturing plant.
Work Soon to Begin.
Work on the various details of the
big undertaking is to begin as soon
as possible. It will provide employ
ment for hundreds of men and will
mean the establishment of another en
terprise in the immediate vicinity of
the city.
E. T. Judd, of Pendleton, Or., and of
Hartford, Conn., a big woolbuyer of the
firm of Judd & Root, and T. Oliver
Dowd, a Massachusetts capitalist, are

"Engineers will be put to work within
a few days," said Mr. Coopey last night,
"and the plat of the new town will soon
be ready for filing. While it is Intended
to make of Gordon Falls City a most de
sirable place of residence, its natural
advantages being unexcelled anywhere,
to maintain this condition there must be
profit attached to . the enterprise. This
will be derived from the sale of electrical
power for the operation of factories,
which will likely be of great number;
small rental of residences to employes,
and lighting of the homes-. These two
latter items, however, are not expected
to yield much revenue above the cost.
"We are confident that we will soon
found a city on the banks of the Colum
bia that will acquire a name and fame in
all the great trade centers of the land."

RESENTS CHARGE IN BOOK
Collaborator In Land-Fraud Book
Declares He Can Prove Assertions
Against Edmund Burke and
Offers to Stand Trial.
Horace Stevens, who collaborated with
S. A- D. Puter in the publication of "The
Looters of the Public Domain." an ex
position of the land frauds in this state.
Is threatened with a criminal libel suit
by Edmund Burke, an attorney of Los
Angeles, Cal. As an appendix to Puter's
recital of the unvarnished facts relating
to the wholesale grafting of the public
lands of this state. Stevens ' Included in
the same volume a report of the alleged
crooked dealings of several Los Angeles
capitalists -in securing the possession of
an extensive acreage of Kern River (Call
fornia) oil lands. In connection with the
transaction Burke was charged with im
properly influencing Congressman Her
mann, In the issuance of papers from the
General Land Office by which the alleged
fraud was expedited.
In the disclosure, as printed by Stevens,
Burke is charged with having accepted
bribes end with having served as the
agent of a coterie of Los Angeles capital
lsts at Washington in their scheme to
secure possession of the oil lands. In
the story as published in Puter's. book,
Burke is accused of having been the ' go
between" who reached Binger Hermann,
Commissioner of the General Land Office
at the time, and whose official assistance
was necessary to the success of the al
leged illegal scheme. - It was the charge
that Burke served as the briber of Her
mann that has brought about the threa
tened libel suit. .
Others Mentioned in Book.
In the saire chapter of Puter's book
other prcminent Los Angeles citizens are
Implicated as follows: Charles A. Can
field. Edward L. Deheny, Judges Erskine
M. Ross and Olin Wellborn, of the Fed
eral District and Circuit Courts; I. W.

president of the Citizens National Bank
Wallace I. Hardison, A. B. Butler, Senator
Frank P. Flint. Edward A. Meserve, Ed
mund Burke and Henry J. Fleishman, the
absconding cashier of the Farmers &
Merchants National Bank.
News of the threatened libel suit was
published in a Los Angeles paper but Mr.
Stevens, in discussing the subject yes
terday, did not regard the matter serious
ly. He declared that before the book
was printed its authors first fortified
themselves with conclusive proof In sup
port of every allegation set forth in its
contents. For that reason he has no
fear of a libel suit and, should one be
brought, he declares he Is in a position
to meet any and every charge that may
be preferred against him with positive
and convincing documentary evidence.-
Willing to Meet Charge.
Having learned yesterday through the
Los Angeles Examiner of his threatened
prosecution for criminal libel, Mr. Stevens
yesterday wired that paper the following
omssage :
Am Just informed through your paper
that Burke is seeking warrant for my ar
rest on charge of criminal libel. If District
Attorney Fredericks will consent to issue
same, I will agree to waive all right to

WHY MY METHODS
CURE
MEN
The Leading Specialist.
By my method I am enabled to reach the vital spot with direct treat
ment, which drives every disease from the system by going to the root
of the disorder. I always obtain prompt and satisfactory results because
my searching examination .brings to light the nature and extent of the
trouble. My experience in curing the diseases of men extends over a
period of 15 years. My facilities are the best and my treatment Is per
fect. J especially Invite those who have deep-seated and chronic disorders
to call and be examined. CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION ARE
FREE, and do not obligate you to engage my services.
Let me explain to you how my rational treatment enables me to of
fer the expert services not obtainable elsewhere and how my clean, lib
eral business methods go hand in hand with professional skill. Ability
and reliability tell the story, and for this reason every man should con
sult me about his case before going further.
I have treated so many cases that I know just what I can do and
what I cannot do, and I never promise or attempt too much. I accept no
case in which I have doubt as to my ability to cure, and results are al- i
ways equal to the claims I make. Following are some of the diseases I
cure and the reasons why my cures are certain:
MY FEE FOR
A CURE IS

PAY AFTER
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
In no other ailment peculiar to
men is a prompt &nd thorough
cure so essential. Contracted dis
orders tend to work backward un
til the most vital nerve centers
become involved in the inflamma
tion. Then follows a chronic stage
that stubbornly resists all ordinary
treatment. Safety demands that
every vestige of infection be eradi
cated at the earliest possible mo
ment. My treatment is thorough.
The remedies employed have a
more positive action than has ever
before been attained, and so per
fect is my method of application
that even chronic cases yield completely.
My offices are equipped with the most modern and scientific devices
for the treatment and cure of all CHRONIC, DKEP-SEATED, COMPLI
CATED DISEASES. My fees are reasonable and within the reach of all.
I treat men only, and confine my practice to NERVOl'S WEAKNESS,

This most prevalent of all dis

harsh methods of treatment com

ance of the grave dangers that ac
company the disease. As varico
