THREE KILLED AT VALLEJO
Bnmboat Boy and Italian Laborer
Cannot Be Fonnd.
VALLEJO. Cal., Sept. 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. The Injury to the Pike was mors

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.

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.

TEN KILLED IN BRAWL
Italian Village Wineshop Scene of
Bloody Battle.
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.
Electro-Vigor is not an electric
belt. It Is a dry cell body battery,
and makes Its own power.
There is no remedy like Electro
Vigor. It cured me of digestive
trouble and restored my strength
after I had tried marr other meth
ods without
benefit.

THE CURE FOR
SCROFULA
Swollen glands about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions,
running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, and general poor health, are the
usual ways in which. Scrofula Is manifested. The disease being deeply v
intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling,
or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly
destroys ' the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes
terminates in consumption, an Incurable disease. The entire circulation
being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble is to thoroughly
purify the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state.
S. S. S. Is the very best treatment for Scrofula ; it renovates the entire
blood supply and drives out the scrofulous and tubercular deposits. S. S. S.
is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and it not only goes right down to the
very bottom of the trouble and removes the cause, but it supplies the weak,
diseased blood with the healthful properties it is in need of, and in this way
builds up weak, frail, scrofulous persons and makes them strong and healthy.
S. S. S. is a gentle, safe, vegetable preparation and is suited for persons of
any age. Book on the blood containing information about Scrofula and any
medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAl
