SAN' FRANCISCO. Oct. (Special.)
rive men were killed and two terribly
Injured by the collapsing of walls caused
hv the high wind this morning. Three
unknown men were crushed to death
under a wall at the corner of Commer
cial and Montgomery and another badly
crushed. Two were killed and one prob
ably fatally injure! under the ruin of
the wall of the John Hoey Furniture
Company, on Mission street near Third.
The name of the dead:
PETER JOHNS
Dl'RAND. a. Greek.
The injured man Is Charles O'Connor, who
lives at Sixteenth and Church streetE.
Both accidents occurred at almost the
same time, 8:80 o'clock. The men were
working unconscious of the fact that
death was hovering over them. The wails
swayed for a while in the heavy wind,
then crashed down on the helpless men.
John Riordan. foreman of the Mission
street work, noticed the wall swaying
just a few minutes before it fell At that
time 'there were 12 men working under
the mass of masonry. He called to them
to come out. All obeyed but John.
Durand and O'Connor. C. Carboni. one
of the men. was so impressed by the
warning that he rushed out, abandoning
his team.
O'Connor laughed at the order and
Johns and Durand began to leave leisure
ly. Suddenly there was a shout from the
foreman. The men looked up and saw
the wall begin to topple. Johns and
Durand rushed frantically for the street.
O'Connor seeing that it was too late to
escape, backed up against the other wail
and looked what he thought was sure
death in the face. The wall came down
with a crash. A cloud of dust rose, hid
ing the shattered mass of masonry that
entombed the three men
Members of the Are department and a
detail of police from the southern station
Impressed a gang of laborers and began
the work of rescue before the dust had
cleared away. O'Connor, who was pinned
against the opposite wall, began to moan
pitifully. The sound added strength to
the workers' arms and In a few minutes
he was carried out, terribly crushed.
The others were buried under tons of
brick. When the rescuers reached them
they were crushed beyond recognition.
Their bodies were taken to the morgue.
The bodies of the horses were not taken
out for hours.
The property is owned by Samuel Buck
bee, of Shainwald-Buckbee. The work of
clearing up is being done by Fay Bros.
Durand was a resident of Oakland and
leaves a large family. Little was known
of Johns. He was a Orreek in the em
ploy of the contractors only a few days.
The second accident happened at the
southeast corner of Montgomery and
f'ommercial streets at S:30. Three men
all of them Italians whose names are
as yet unknown were pinioned beneath
a falling wall and lost their lives. A
fourth man, G. Comesse. was badly in
jured and now lies between life and
death at the Harbor Hospital. But for
the fact that they had no goggles and
quit work rather than labor in the blind
ing dust raised by the high wind this
morning, two more might have lost their
lives in this accident.
V. K. Welk. of 417" Twenty-third street,
manager of the Bernhard Company, was
in charge of the laborers at the time
of the accident. The brick side wall ad
joining the Pacific Mutual Life building
had been swaying, unnoticed by the men.
and when it toppled over they were
pinioned beneath it without any warning
or chance for their lives.
Officer T. P. Walsh, who patrols a beat
on Montgomery street, was the first to
reach the scene of the accident, and
learning from Welk that four men were
beneath the wall he hurriedly turned in'
an 41arm of fire. In a short time the
lifeless body of one laborer was taken
out. and a second, still alive but fright
fully mangled, was recovered and rushed
to the Harbor Hospital. Their fellow
laborers do not know them nor their employers.
LONDON mm LOW
FINANCIER SAYS SHAW SHOUXD
HELP OCT.
Stock Market Getting Over Scare
Caused by Rise In Rate
of Discount.
LONDON. Oct The stock market
this morning continued to show much
nervousness, but there was an absence
of the feverish excitement which fol
lowed the first announcement of the In
crease in the Bank of England's discount
rate American securities continued their
downward movement, the opening prices
being in marked contrast to those of
the opening yesterday. Union Pacific
opened at 1S?H against 193H yesterday,
while United States Steel was offered
at I?3 against 50?i bid yesterday.
Banking circles showed notable satis
faction at the fact that the Bank o'f Eng
land had been able to stop the continued
heavv exports of gold to the United
States. A British financier, discussing
the situation, said today:
"The United States can hardly expect
London to finance the whole world, and
we are now confident that our 6 per
cent rate is a safe and permanent pro
tection against further inroads , on our
stock of gold There is no thought at
present of a 7 per cent rate, but 7 and
even S per cent will be adopted if neces
sary to. protect us against an abnormal
depletion of the gold reserve. Therefore,
if the United States continues to require
gold for the movement of the cotton
crops or other needs, we feel that re
lief should come from the other side. Sec
retary Shaw once before relieved the sit
uation by releasing his store, and we in
London cannot see why he should sit on
his gold chests while the United States
draws its needed supply of gold from
London's depleted stock.'"
It became definitely known today that
about $10,000,000 in gold will be shipped
from England within a week, of which
amount $4,950,000 went today to Egypt,
according to announcement, but its exact'
destination continues to be more or -less
of a mystery, although Egypt appears
to be getting the bulk of it. with Ar
gentina and Canada taking less amounts.
The local bankers have recovered from
the scare they passed through over yes
terday's crop of rumors of alleged im
pending financial disasters. Leading
bankers distinctly stated today that the
rumors were the work of those who were
seeking to profit by yesterday's surprise.
PURE FOOD RULES
Provisions for Enforcement of
New Law.
LABELS MUST TELL TRUTH
Purchaser Must Know Just What He
Buys No Poisonous Coloring or
- Adulterants No Disguise for
American Champagne. -
WASHINGTON. Oct 20 Secretary Wil
son, of tile Department of Agriculture, to
day promulgated the regulations under
which the recently enacted pure food and
drug act will be enforced. The Commis
sion appointed to prepare the regulations
consisted of Dr. H. W. Wiley, of the Ag
ricultural Department; Dr. S N. D.
North, of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and James L. Gerrey. of the
Treasury Department. In a letter to the
Secretaries of the several departments
they say their agreement on the regula
tions was unanimous. To the regulations.
Secretaries Wilson, Metcalf and Shaw
have given their approval.
The section of the regulations respecting
the labelling of products requires that five
ingredients of the package shall be stated,
so that the purchaser may know precisely
what he is buying.
No Poison to Color or Adulterate.
In the matter of coloring, the require
ment is made that no ingredient known to
be deleterious to Human health shall be
used by the manufacturers. This regula
tion applies with particular force to the
manufacturer of candies.
Adulterations, particularly of drugs, is
prohibited. but standard drugs will not be
considered adulterated, provided they are
branded so as to show their actual
strength or purity.
Poisonous or deleterious preservatives
shall be applied only externally, and shall
be of a kind that will not permeate
to the interior of the product and the
preservative must be of such character
that until removed the food products are
inedible.
Misbranding of food or drug products is
guarded against particularly. The label
on every product must bear the name of
the product, and the place of manufacture
and must show whether the article is a
compound, mixture or blend, and must
designate the ingredients and proportions
in the case of drugs and foods. The use
of anv false or misleading statement, de
sign or device on the label is specifically
prohibited.
It is known that some differences of
opinion arose among the members of
the commission respecting important
details of the rules. As originally
drafted, the rules practically prohib
ited the use of generic names, as ap
plied to products of American manu
facture. For instance, champagne, as
distinguishing a, kind of wine, could
not be used in connection with an
American wine of that kind, because
it was held to be mislabeled, if not
actually deceptive. Geographical
names, generally, as applied to food or
drug products or to wine and liquors,
were not permitted to be used under
the regulations as prepared by the
commission.
When the regulations were submit
ted to the Secretaries of the three de-
partments for approval, some changes
were made in them of a very impor
tant character.' The use of geograph
ical names, for instance, was provided
for In cases where it was thought the
names were generic or distinctive.
Must Tell Where It's Made.
It was provided, however, that It should
be Indicated on the package containing
the product that it was of American
manufacture. Thus, champagne is re
quired to be labeled American champagne
or California champagne, so that the
purchaser, while he knows that he is
getting a certain kind of wine, knows
also that the wine is made in America
and not in France. The regulations ap
ply to other products in a similar way.
It was the effort of the Commission to
insure to the purchaser of any food or
drug product, absolute purity.
Provision for Analysis.
In brief yie regulations provide as fol
lows: The label on any produce shall be at
tached to an original unbroken package.
Samples of original packages shall be col
lected only by authorized agents of the Ag
ricultural Department or by state, territo
rial or district officials authorized by tne
Secretary of Agriculture. Publication of the
analysis may be . made on certain condi
tions. A drug bearing a name recognized in the
United States Pharmaeopia or National For
mulary shall conform in. strength, quality
and purity to. prescribed standards.
. Manufacturers of proprietary foods are
required to state on the label only tna
names and percentages of the materials
used, to prevent adulteration and misbrand
ing. The factories where proprietary foods
are manufactured must be open to inspec
tion. No dealer in food or drug products shall
label the production if be can establish
tbat the goods wera sold under a guaranty
by the wholesaler, manufacturer or Jobber
or other party residing in the United States
from whom purchased.
No Minerals in Confectionery.
Mineral substances of all kinds are spe
cifically forbidden in confectionery. Only
harmless colors or flavors shall be added
to confectionery.
No substance may be mixed or packed
with a food product which will reduce Its
quality of strength.
In food products only harmless colors may
be used and the reduction of a substance to
a powder to conceal Inferiority is prohib
ited. Any food product which contains natur
ally a poisonous or deleterious putrescent
Ingredient does not come within the pro
visions of the food and drugs act, except
when the presence of such ingredient Is due
to filth, putrescence or decomposition.
The Secretary of Agriculture shall deter
mine the wholesomeness of colors, pre
servatives and otner substances which are
added to foods, and he shall, when neces
sary, examine the raw materials used in
the manufacture of foods and drug pro
ducts. It is required that labels shall be print
ed in English, the form and appearance,
except for certain restrictions, to be left
to the manufacturer. This regulation will
not be enforced until October 1. 1907.

So Writes Mr. Xewhof, of Albany.
Pelvic Diseases in Men.
Many an invalid is dragging ont a miserable exis
tence with catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the
bladder, or both.
There is no disease equal to catarrh of the bladder
in prodncing complete wretchedness, absolute
despair, haggard misery and stubborn weakness.
An army of this sort of victims have one by one
discovered that Peruna could be relied upon to re
lieve such cases.
One man tells another man, and in this way the
news spreads until in all parts of the country are
to be found men who have been permanently liber
ated from the thraldom of catarrh of the bladder by
a course of Peruna.
Many cases of catarrh of the stomach, kidneys and
other abdominal organs have reported themselves
as cured.
We give below two prominent testimonials which
Illustrate the benefit of Peruna in these cases.

Mr. C. B. Newiiof. 10 Delaware street, Albany,
N. Y., President Montefiore Club, writes:
"Since my advanced age I find that I have been
frequently troubled with urinary ailments. The
bladder seemed Irritated, and my physician said
that it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold
which would be difficult to overcome on account of
my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring
to believe that I would be helped, but. found to my
relief that I soon began to mend The irritation
gradually subsided, and the urinary difficulties
pussed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now
for the" past seven months. I enjoy my meals,
sleep soundly, and am as well as I was twenty
years ago. I give all praise to Peruna."
Catarrh of Stomach and Kidneys.
Mr. H. L. Emory, Vice Chancellor
and Master of Arms, K. P.'s, of
Omaha, Neb., writes from 205 North
Sixteenth street the following words
of praise for Peruna as a tonic. He
says:
"It is. with pleasure I recommend
Peruna as a tonic of unusual merit.
A large number of prominent mem
bers uf the different orders with
which I have been connected have
been cured by the use of Peruna in
cases of catarrh of the stomach and
head: also in kidney complaints and
weakness of the pelvic organs.
"Peruna tones up the system, aids
digestion, induces sleep and is well
worthy the confidence of sufferers of
the above complaints."
Mr. David L. Jaycox, Chaplain Clar
inda. I. O. G. T. and Chaplain G. A. K..
$65 Broadway, Oakland. Cal., writes:
"I am an old war veteran. I con
tracted severe bladder and kidney trou
ble. I . spent hundreds of dollars and
consulted a host of doctors, but neither
did me any good.
"Finally some of my comrades who
bad been cured by Peruna advised me
to try it. I at once bought a bottle,
and found it helped me so much that I
kept using it for nearly four months.
"Peruna has proven the best medicine
I ever used. My pains are gone and I
believe myself to be cured. I feel well,
and would not be without a bottle in
time cf need for ten times its cost."
Mr. Robert E. Hanvey. Treasurer
Knights of Industrial Freedom, also a
well-known writer and lecturer, writes
from 11 South Nicholas street, Chicago.
111., as follows:
'T was in good health until about
four years ago, when my back became
lame and sore. The pains kept Increas
ing, with severe twitches and slow ex
haustive aches. Urine was highly col
ored and passed with great irregu
larity. I knew this must be Inflamma
tion of the bladder.
"Having read of Peruna, I decided to
try It. I found relief from the pain
within ten days. The aches gradually
diminished, and it was a blessed relief
I can assure you. Within three months
I was well once more. My appetite had
returned, nervousness and irritability
were things of the past, and for over
two year3 now I have been a healthy
man.
"I give all thanks to your Peruna.
and believe that it is a blessing to
mankind."
