IS. -The gasoline fire in the Navy-Yard yesterday, wherein Theodore May, a chief machinist, lost his life and several men were injured, is now believed to have cost three lives In all. Fred Martin, a bumboat boy, and an Italian laborer, whose name la not known, are missing. It is supposed that they, like many others, plunged Into the water at the time of the explosion. It is generally believed that a lighted match thrown into the water ignited a quantity of refuse gasoline afloat on the surface, and that the flames were com municated to several hundred gallons of the Inflammable fluid which had been pumped out of the tanks of the subma rines Pike and Grampus, which were moored alongside the float. Of the score of men who sprang from the open plat form Into the water, all were rescued with the exception of May, who could not swim, and possibly ths boy and the Ital ian, who are believed to have disappeared beneath the surface unobserved. Four of the men inside the Grampus pulled down the hatch and remained imprisoned until the Are was extinguished, suffering in tensely from the heat, but escaping in jury. The ore caused a loss of about $20,000. This includes the destruction of some val uable instruments, some damage to the submarine Pike and destruction of wood work aboard the tugs Fortune and Una dllla. The steamer Arethusa. formerly supply ship to the Atlantic fleet, was moored to the same pier, but escaped in Jury. The Naval board of Investigation Is com posed of Captain Edward A. Anderson, Assistant Naval Constructor C. F. Col burn and Paymaster J. F. Belcher. The board is In session at the Navy-Yard and will endeavor to flx the responsibility for the accident as well as to ascertain the extent of damage done to the Government vessels. The body of May has not been re covered. The Grampus was not very badly dam aged, and has been taken to the dry dock.

IOWA SYSTEM NOT LEGAL Federal Court Strikes at Evasion of Prohibition Law. DAVENPORT, la.. Sept. 19. According to a decision rendered yesterday by Judge Smith McPherson. of the United States Circuit Court, the Iowa mulct law system under which saloons are now operating Is illegal. Judge ract-nerson further declares the Iowa mulct law la no license system and that there has been no license system In Iowa for the last quarter of a century, and for that length of time there has never been a lawful sale of liquor as a beverage within the state of Iowa. He further holds that no person under any circumstances can law fully sell liquor as a beverage in xowa. The decision was made In a suit of the United Breweries Companies of Chicago vs. the Civic Federation of Daven. port. The complainants charged the federation with a conspiracy and sought to enjoin them from abating property on which a saloon had been closed. Judge McPherson denied the application -for writ of injunction. Under the mulct law Iowa saloonkeepers have been paying 8600 annually as a tax, with the understanding that it legalised their sale of intoxicat ing liquors and gave them relief from the old prohibitory law, which is still on the statute books. BURNED BY BURNING OIL Four Men Injured by Explosion on Lumber Steamer, SAN PEDRO. Cal., Sept 19. In an oil explosion In the afterpart of the steamer San Gabriel, lying alongside the wharf, shortly before noon today. Chief Engineer Hans Olsen and First Officer Peter Kendall were perhaps fa tally injured, and Fritz Johnson and Chris Stlgle, two members of the crew, were seriously burned. The oil tanks were being filled at the time, and caught fire in some unex plalnable manner. The damage to the ship is not material. The ship is owned by the Kerkhoff-Cuxner Lumber Com pany, of Los Angeles, and makes reg ular runs between San Pedro and the Umpqua River. She has a capacity of 600,000 feet of lumber, and carries a crew of 10 men. A further examination of the injuries of Olson and Kendall by the surgeons de veloped the fsct that their burns, while serious, are not necessarily fatal. Ken dall leaped overboard when the explosion occurred, with his clothing ablaze, and warn 209 yards to the shore. Demands Judgment for Bank. W. C Benbow filed an important suit against a defunct concern in the Cir cuit Court yesterday. On behalf of the 'German American Bank he asked udgment against the Golden Eagle Dry Goods Company for the sura of J101. 638.04. less 125,776. 92. The amount first named represents the dry goods company's overdraft on the erstwhile Oregon Savings & Trust Company Bank and the smaller sum Is the amount paid on the indebtedness. The claim is now held by the German American bank. Tomorrow (Monday) positively the last day for discount on East Side gas bills. Don't fall to read Gas Tips. Will Take Mental Bath Kant's Philosophy. In BT DR. ADOLPH HBSS. YASNAYA. POLIANA, Sept. 19. (Spe cial.) At Moscow people told me I should fall, they warned me against government spies and thought I might be arrested. Tolstoy lived like a hermit, they said, and refused to receive any visitors, while the Countess disliked visitors who dis turbed ber husband, and tried to keep them away from him. I was not to be deterred, however, but took along some translations and a very kind letter I had received from Tolstoy some time ago. The Countess was in Moscow and. arrived home a few hours later than my arrival at Yasnaya Pollana. The way goes via Tula, where I .ex pected all the misery of a Russian pro vincial town: poor food, dirt, vermin and something even worse, but Instead I found a delightful, clean and cheap hotel, splen did food, broad streets, brilliantly il luminated with electric light, an old Kreml, high parapeted walls, blue and green church cupolas, large industrial es tablishments, theaters, concerts and fac tories. An lstwoschtsohik took me in his little open cab the 16 kilometres to Yasnaya Pollana. At the end of the town are the barrack-like buildings of a government distillery; on the way you see on your right hand the furnaces of a Belgian foundry both distillers and foundrymen are described In Tolstoy's books. Tolstoy's well-known country seat, which he has - transferred to his wife, with ail the rest of his property, years. Is situated on the top of a hill from which there is a splendid view of green fields and shady woods. The plain, white house with its leaden roof is surrounded by an old park and orchard. A short distance away is the building which contains Tol stoy's famous school, and still further away the village with its miserable low houses, which in Winter barely show above the snow. It is inhabited by about 400 peasants. Looks Like Photographs. As I entered the house I noticed a large number of caps, coats and rubbers. Surely a large family must be living there. A case containing books tood in a corner near the door. A pleasant looking boy from the village announced the visitor and a moment later the mas ter of the house entered, dressed in a gray lltewka, trousers of the same color and slippers. His beard was cut short, the heavy, bushy eyebrows looked al most threatening, the eyes were small and gray, and as If covered with a thin film, the nostrils broad. It was Tolstoy as we know him from Innumerable photographs, and as many who have learned to love his writings have seen him with their mind's eyes. I was greatly surprised at his almost youthful vivacity this lively, healthy man, with the fresh complexion might be taken for a man of 60, not 80 years of age. His movements had all the elas ticity of youth. I thought of the amount of work this man has done, of the quan tity of mental energy he represents, of the moral power he possesses, and I was seized with a strange feeling. Was It astonishment, curiosity, respect, or Joy? And then I suddenly heard my name, beard hearty words of welcome, felt the grip of his broad, powerful hand, and felt a sensation of peace and earnestness emananting from him. As if in a dream I enter the dining room, take off my overcoat, and hand Tolstoy my translations, which he carries into his workroom. I am introduced to the lady In waiting Countess Stacko- wltscn, and to Tolstoy s friend, disciple and secretary. Dr. Mackovicky, who knows everything. We exchange a few remarks concerning Maxim Gorki, who had Just mentioned Tolstoy in anything but flattering terms as Tolstoy, whom I actually disturbed in his work, again enters the room. The two withdraw and I am alone with the grand old man. He Intended No Insult. On the wall to the left of the door above the piano are some portraits of an cestors mentioned In "War and Peace.' I can discover no resemblance. Then comes the door leading into Tolstoy's working room, busts of Ger and Trou- betzkoi, some English magazines, por traits of Tolstoy's energetic and gifted wife and of himself. We talk about the work: "One Thing Is Necessary." It con tained in the manuscript an insult to the Kaiser, which I omitted in the trans lation. Said Tolstoy: . "I did not 'mean to offend the Kaiser, I am sorry I wrote those words and I thank you for omitting them." We talked about art, but after about 15 minutes' conversation Tolstoy suddenly says: "I have intentionally endeavored to get arrested and Imprisoned for my thought. I have not succeeded. They have not had the courage to do me the favor of im prisoning me." I thought of the late Fobledonostzew. Czar Alexander III was twice handed re ports which said that Tolstoy, because of his act in England published article against the monarchy ought to be sent to the Monastery of Susdal, deprived all chance of writing and thus be made harmless. But the Czar refused to give his con sent, with the 'words: "I do not want you so touch Tolstoy. If he is wrong. so much the worse for him, but I will not make him a martyr and by doing so arouse a storm of indignation." We talked of the Russian revolution. of the famine and a typhus epidemic in nearby village, which gave the phy sician. Dr. Makovlcky, much to do. 'Do you think there will be many more fights; that much more blood will flowT" asked. "I do not know," Tolstoy replied. "Too much blood has been shed already. Dur ing the time of the French revolution who could tell how it would end? When the Bastile was taken, who thought of liberty, equality and fraternity T" Opposes All Governments, Do you consider the Russian revolution a progress?" 'I believe that men will no longer live under a government, based on force. Hu manity has progressed so far now that no government of any kind is necessary. My adversaries say: The government, the state is a complicated mechanism, which no one dares meddle with or the whole building will collapse. My answer Is this: If you pile up a number of bricks to form a pyramid In such a manner that if you remove one brick the whole struc ture will fall, no one has proven that It is necessary to pile the bricks so as to make a pyramid. Perhaps It would be much better and at any rate much safer to leave them on the ground. "But if the revolution Is restricted to Russia, what will be its effects?" "Also the people of other nations will awaken. The form of government does not matter. If they have given their subjects a Parliament, a Congress, Reichstag or a Duma it only proves they have seen they were wrong and that the governments owed something to their subjects." "When I asked Tolstoy what he was doing now he replied: "I feel like taking a mental bath by studying Kant and I am convinced that human reason cannot reach further than he did." Now Countess Tolstoy returned from Moscow. Tolstoy kissed his 60-year-old wife. We had luncheon, but Tolstoy did not eat with us, as he is a vegetarian and prepares his own simple meals. He walked up and down the floor while we were eating and everyone was silent when be spoke. NEGLECTS GRAND CANAL China Laying Up Trouble for Fu ture, Says Critic. SHANGHAI, Sept. 19. (Special.) A writer in the North China Herald pro tests against the ruin, which Is being allowed to overtake that great tri umph of engineering, the Grand Canal of China. The Government, he points out, is allowing the canal to go to de cay. The lower stretches have within the past few months been allowed to become the habitat of organized and aggressive river pirates, who fire into steam launches and plunder passenger boats and cargo boats indiscriminately. In the upper regions of the canal there is, on the other hand, a constant short age of water, or so much that it can not bs nntlllzed. A more perfect pro vision by nature of vast natural dams in the great lakes of Southwest Shan tung and Northern Klangsu it would be difficult to find anywhere, but they are either unused or misused. The writer goes on to allude to the siltlng-up of the erratic Yellow River, which is now in many places as much above the level of all the surround ing country as the second story of a house above 'the ground. Those who know best, he says, predict another tremendous calamity from this source In the not distant future. Then there will be exclamations of surprise that It did not come sooner and howls for funds for "relief." Millions of Chinese will be Impoverished, hundreds of thousands of them will be rendered homeless and tens of thousands of them drowned and starved. BIG GUNS ROAR IN PARIS Sleep Almost Impossible to Citizens During Military Maneuver. PARIS, Sept. 18. (Special.) Sleep in Paris has been almost out of the ques tion these last nights and Parisians and their American and other foreign visit ors are getting a very good idea of what it feels like to be in a besieged city. The French military maneuvers this year are on a larger scale than ever before, more than 100.000 men taking part in them, and every effort has been made to keep the conditions as nearly as possible to those of actual warfare. A supposed German army is endeavoring to repeat what the Prussians did in 1870-71, while a French army is defending the city with bulldog-like tenacity. This is why you drink your absinthe amidst the thunder of guns which roar and belch fire from every fort In the triple line of defenses which surrounds Parts like a wall of steel, and fond though the French are of military Mis play and the smell of powder, they begin to wish it was all over, that they might eat and sleep in peace. MADE BANKRUPT BY RATS Caterer's Misfortune . Causes Agita tion to Exterminate Vermin. LONDON, Sept. 19. (Special.) The In corporated Society for the-Destruction of Vermin proposes to take legal action with a view to deciding whether it Is an of fense to harbor rats. The case for the society Is that it is time that the prin ciple underlying the verminous poisons act and similar measures should be ex tended to rats. Evidence against sev eral municipal authorities has been ob tained and a summons will shortly bs applied for; but the present intention is that the case shall be treated as a friendly one, the Idea being to ascertain the present state of the law and to pave the way for the "rat law" promoted by the society. The secretary Informed Lloyd's that the question arose out of a report concerning a restaurant-keeper in London who had been literally made a bankrupt by rats. MEW'S SPECIALIST There is no ailment peculiar to men that I cannot cure. For twenty-five years I have devoted my entire time and energy to the treatment of men's diseases. My methods have been perfected by actual experience, with a thoroughly theoretical knowledge as a basis. I am the only physician thoroughly and permanently curing those functional derangements commonly classed as ""Weakness," and my success in overcoming such cases has placed me fore most among specialists treating men's diseases, and has brought me the largest practice of its kind in the West.. My Fee for a Thorough and Last- Cfcl PI ing Cure of Any Ailment Is Only PJ In Any Uncom plicated Case DR. TAYLOR, The Leading; Specialist. I NEVER DISAPPOINT OR MISLEAD MY PATIENTS, AND MY CURES ARE PERMANENT I have treated hundreds of men who have long suffered a gradual decline of physical and mental energy as a result of ailments, and have been Interested In noting the marked general improvement that follows a thorough ure of the chief disorder. My success In curing difficult cases of long standing has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things, it is due to the original, distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ. .,i To those in doubt as to Their true condition, and who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondenoe. If your case is one of the few that have reached an Incurable stage, I will not accept it for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one.. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. Scientific Treatment for "Weakness" Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and tonics in an effort to restore functional vigor oan have but one final result, the condition is rendered worse than before. Few doctors know of any other method than stomach drugging, and when this does no good, they say: "There is no cure for Weakness. I have often made strong statements to the effect that the ailment must be thoroughly understood be fore it could be remedied. I have proved it beyond dispute that so-called "Weakness" is merely an indi cation of the existence of a low form of inflammation in the Prostate Gland, which is usually aggravated and made worse by stimulating medicine, electricity or any other agent that excites temporary activity. The Prostate is a nerve center and therefore very sensi tive to treatment the right kind quickly helps, while the wrong kind can cause great harm and sometimes irreparable damage. . . I employ the only scientific and full effective treat ment for "Weakness," which is almost entirely local, by which I mean that the medication is applied .direct ly to parts. Medicines containing poisons are entirely excluded. I obtain the most desirable results In every case undertaken, and the cure is permanent and complete. The DR. TAYLOR Co. Varicocele I cure any case that I accept in one week's time. My treatment Is a painless one, and in most Instances the patient need not be detained a single day from business. There is no doubt or guesswork, but abso lute certainty of a thorough and lasting dure, with complete return to that degree of health and vigor that existed before the disease began. Contracted Disorders Every case of Contracted Disease I treat is cured thoroughly. My patients have no relapses. When I pronounce a case cured there Is not a particle of infection or inflammation remaining and there isn't the slightest danger that the disease will return in its original form or work Its way into the general system. Borne contracted diseases are less serious than others, but none are too trivial to warrant un certain methods of treatment. I especially solicit those cases that other doctors have been unable to cure. MT OFFICES ARE OPEN EVERY DAT FROM t I A. M. TO 9 P. M.

MILAN, Sept. 19. (Special.) Four per sons were murdered, six more mortally wounded and many others Injured in a drunken brawl of Calabrlan peasants at Potenza. A big party had been drink ing wine for the space of six hours at a wayside tavern, when a quarrel arose over some women, and daggers were drawn. Ths landlady, who stepped in to separate the combatants, was stabbed through the throat and mutilated, expir ing immediately. Her daughter, Vin cenzena, a prettjr girl of 20, rushed to wards her mother, but while bending over the lifeless body was flung down and pierced through the heart and lungs. The landlord, who had been summoned meanwhile from the garden, seized .his gun on beholding the fate of his wife and child, but before he could use it he was overpowered by the ruffians, and fell bleeding from severe wounds on the head, ribs and hands. As one assassin, jumping on the prostrate form, was pre paring to sever the head, a robust young barmaid darted forward and bit a huge morsel off the villain's upraised arm. The tragic scene then developed into a regular fight with revolvers among the assassins themselves. By the time the police appeared half a dozen peasants were lying dead or wounded. Around the bodies of their dear ones were grouped the landlady's seven young children sob bing plteously. Among the dead Is Salvatori Labella, age 22, who was a well known character in New York, whence he had returned only two days before. An insistence re port alleges that he Was killed by his own brother. The local hospital is full of injured onlookers. The superstitious population, after recovering from the first shock of the massacre, crowded to the lottery offices to gamble on number cor responding to those of the killed and injured.

WHY WOMEN ADMIRE STRONG MEN AH women worship physical strength. They like to look on men as strong, capable beings, afraid of nothing. Beatrice Fairfax In Bos ton "American." A woman has no use for a weak man. She admires that "afrald-of-nothing" spirit which a weak man lacks; that spirit of ambition which makes a man get up and hustle. She likes the strong man because he Is a protection; he has strength ambition, vim, and is not afraid of work. His eyes are bright his gait Is full of ener gy, his s p e e ch Is positive. The strong man is the real man. Would you like to have your friends point to you and say: "There goes sr strong man?" Do you not wish your eye to be so bright, your step so firm and your form so erect that men and women will admire you and remark at your manly bearingT These are the thoughts uppermost in the minds of modern men physical and mental perfection, strength and power. Who does not like to be strong, to feel that he is equal in strength to' anv man of his age? You can be if you will obey the appeal here made to you. Drugs have been tried and have failed. You know that; but Electro Vigor cannot fall; it is electricity, and "electricity is life." It gives you the oil with which to set the machinery of your body in motion, and a month's use of it will give you health and happiness. Electro-Vigor is a dry cell body battery, worn while you sleep. It saturates the nerves with its glow ing power and they conduct the force to every organ and tissue of your body, giving health and strength to every part that is weak.
