CHICAGO. Sept. 2. (Special.) Fol
lowing two days of Intense heat. Chi
cago was struck early this afternoon
' by what appears to have been a cloud
burst, accompanied by much lightning
Korty-six fires, due to lightning, kept
the department busy in the midst of
the terrific storm. Basements were
flooded and in some of the hotels sewer
water backed up to the third floors.
The loss from fire and flood will ex
ceed fl. 000.000, the loss being espe
cially severe in the basements of ware
houses. Previous to the storm, which came
practically without warning, the heat
was Intensely oppressive and the air
was full of moisture. Nine deaths had
been recorded In the last 24. hours, all
directly attributable to the heat. Three
persons were driven insane by the
scourge and ended their owji lives. In
addition there were seven drownings
of persons seeking relief in the lake.
Crime Trace to Heat.
The police department also attributed
the Increase in crime to heat, on the
basis that people quickly lost their
tempers and quarreled readily. There
were many stabblngs and shootings
during last night and today.
Grave fears were felt for the safety
of 'thousands on the . lake when the
storm broke with a sudden fury today.
Anticipating a baking heat in the city,
numerous parties in all sorts of boats
started out early in the morning for a
day on the lake. Many of them were in
frail vessels that would not withstand
the storm.
All lifesavlng stations were busy for
hours after the storm, bringing In dis
abled boats and half-drowned occu
pants, but so far as learned there were
no fatalities.
Lake Steamers Weather Gale.
All lake steamers, loaded to their
limit by excursionists, reported back
after the storm by wireless that they
had ridden out the gale in safety.
They unloaded a sorry lot of humanity
when they came In tonight, however.
The passengers, crowded like sardines,
were made desperately ill by the vio
lent Btorm and there was no oppor
tunity to render them assistance.
Predictions that the fierce storm
would break the heat were not borne
out. as the temperature immediately
began to rise, accompanied by a high
humidity. Government forecasters say
there Is scant hope for any cool wea
ther during September.
Dispatches tonight tell of numerous
railroad wrecks due to washed out
tracks and bridges. Wisconsin roads
are especial sufferers. Near Hustler.
Wis.', an engineer and fireman were
killed and the eonductor and several
passengers of the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha train were In
jured when It was wrecked by a wash
out. The heavy storm put telegraph
and telephone service out of commis
sion and It is difficult to learn just
what damage has been done In the
atorm-swept districts north of Chicago.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2. (Special.)
That San Francisco will give the reg
ular Republican candidates a majority
of at least 10,000 votes tomorrow is the
prediction of the members of the Re
publican county committee and or the
friends of President Taft, who are in
terested In the campaign both in 'the
city and state.
Tom Finn, who is in control of the
forces of the Bull Moose, satd this
morning that he thinks the third-term
party will win a majority of the legis
lative contests. However, Tom is un
certain and explains that it will be a
close and hard fight in many districts.
Taft. Me Fight Hard. '
"You know you never can tell what
the voters will do, but we hope that
the men pledged to support Roosevelt
will win In their districts. But the
Taft men are putting up a hard fight
and some strong arguments. Their
candidates make strong appeal to many
persons, but I hope to see our side suc
cessful."
Finn admits that the refusal of the
Bull Moose candidates to declare for
municipal control of the San Fran
cisco harbor and for Greater San Fran
cisco weakens their chances. He also
feels that Roosevelt is an. infinitely
weaker candidate now in San Fran
cisco than he was when. the . contest
was a family matter of the Repub
lican party.
Regulars Are Confident.
"We go into the fight tomorrow with
the utmost confidence," said S. Fred
Hogue, who with other friends and sup
porters , of President Taft has put all
his vim and vigor Into the campaign
for the continuance of the Republican
party and who has been, managing the
stateflght for the President. "The
regular Republicans of California and
San Francisco, especially, are going to
vote for the Republican candidates, lfj
they vote at all. It Is merely a matter
of getting the friends of President Taft
(o the polls tomorrow." '

plete success. He left the field undis
puted to the mistress of the house.

FIGHT ON CARRIERS GROWS
Governor Prepares to Take Further
Steps Against Railroads and Ex
press Companies for Ship
ping Into "Dry" Places. i
SALEM. - Or.. Sept. 2. (Special.)
Mapping out further important plans
in his campaign. Governor West de
cided to remain during today at his
offices in the State Capitol, where he
could pursue quietly Investigations Into
what his next moves will be..
Summed up his new plans are out
lined as follows:
The public nuisance act will be in
voked to determine whether railroads
and breweries can make shipments of
liquor Into dry territory for the use
of "blind pigs" and resorts.
The Railroad Commission of Oregon
will be culled upon to take steps to
enforce laws covering railroads of the
state.
Special Prosecutor Esterly has been ,
called upon to institute quo warranto
proceedings to revoke the corporate,
license of the Overland Club, of Fort
land. The County Court of Marlon -County,
will be called upon to revoke the
license of a Baloon in Marlon County
directly across the river from New
berg, on the ground that the saloon is
a public nuisance.
Brewery Owners May Be Known.
'Section 6694. of Lord's Oregon Laws,
providing that stock books of corpora
tions are "subject to the inspection at
all reasonable hours of any person In
terested therein and applying there
fore." will be Invoked through the
state as the person interested to de
termine who are stockholders in brew
eries and other corporations.
Evidence coming to the hands of the
Governor that the Salem Brewing As
sociation has furnished malt liquors
to ex-City Treasurer Smith, of" Har
rlsburg, who resigned because he was
indicted for conducting a "blind pig,"
may turn the limelight on that brew
ery. District Attorney Brown, of Rose
burg, notified Governor West that pa
pers are being drawn in the quo war
ranto proceedings against the Rose
burg Brewing & Ice Co., to revoke ita
charter.
In a determination to invoke the
public nuisance act the Executive has
taken a novel step which he belteves
will be successful in curbing the ship
ments of liquor to "blind pigs' and
resorts. That such shipments are
made he Is positive from the bare fact
alone that, they seem to be plenti
fully supplied with liquor which he is
satisfied comes from Oregon dealers
and Oregon breweries.
Governor Gives Opinion.
"Any man who conducts a 'blind
pig" or resort In violation of the law
is conducting a public nuisance under
the statutes." said the Governor In
commenting upon this condition. "Any
man who supplies such an establish
ment with the sinews of war, is as
much a party to conducting that
nuisance as the man who sells the
liquor in the 'blind pig."
"The Railroad Commission act makes
provision that the State Railroad Com
mission shall enforce all of the laws
of the state relating to railroads and
shall call upon the Attorney-General
and proper District Attorney for the
enforcement of such laws, or may call
In special counsel to assist. 1 believe
that the railroads of the state which
are shipping liquor Into dry territory
to "blind pigs,' are aiding and abetting
public nuisance to such an extent that
the shipment of the liquor is In itself
a public nuisance.
"Consequently courts of equity miy
be called upon to enjoin such carriers
from making such shipments. Courts
of equity may also be called upon to
enjoin breweries from making the ship
ments." Carriers Become Agents.
The possibility of the Illegality of a
shipment from wet to dry territory is
also being Investigated by the Gov
ernor. If the brewery which makes the
shipment to the dry territory In deliv
ering it to the railroad makes the rail
road an agent for the brewery, then
It Is contended, there is a possibility
that ths turning over of the goods to
the consignee in dry' territory makes
the consummation of the sale in dry
territory and as a result the sale would
be illegal. If the brewery accepts a
check at the shipping point, however,
and places the goods on board the train
making the road an agent for the
consignee the question might be a dif
ferent one, it is stated. These facts
all will be taken into consideration in ,
the moves of the Governor to cause
discontinuance of shipments Into dry
territory for the purpose of using the
liquor In "blind pigs" or for any other
unlawful purpose.
