against those who have been engaged in
adulterating foodstuffs. branding the
packages with a oight greater than
their actual contents, or branding the
packages as being the product of some
other state than that from which they
actually originated In so far as these
food products were a part of interstate

File's Three Suits.
The latest result of these investigations
came to light in the United States Dis
trict Court -yesterday when three con
demnation suits were filed by the Gov
ernment against shltrments of flour from
Oregon which had been seized by the
1'nited States Marshal under Instruction
of the 1'nited Stales Attorney's office.
One suit Is against 4S0 sacks or pack
ages of flour from the Wareo "Warehouse

branded "Mission Chimes."

SAX FRANC1SOT). Kov. St. Spe
cial.) The resignation of Father
Tonng as rector of the Church of St.
Mary the Virgin will in no way Inter
fere with the work of the court of In
quiry appointed by Bishop Nichols to
probe Into the character and conduct of
the priest. His resignation, which was
given to the vestry on Tuesday, simply
severs his connection with the parish
of which he has been In charge. The
acccusatlon against him brings in Issue
his fitness to remain a priest of the
Episcopal Church, and It Is from this
view-point that the court of inquiry
will consider them.
Father Young is still confined to his
home in Oakland, where he is under
the care of friends. He refuses to
make any statement concerning his
action, except that he Is too III to de

Father Young asked for the court of
inquiry at the time his name was con

rANVIIJ.F. Pa.. Nov. SI. A report re
vived last night at the Federal and state
headquarters established here by offi
cials investigating the Apthous fever
among cattle says that the veterinarians
discovered 35 well-defined cases of the
disease among cattle in Montgomery
County In the vicinity of Momstown.
The disease was traced to a carload of
I- animals shipped into Montgomery
County from Buffalo. Each one of these
as located and will be killed.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
B'heech said last pight that more than
low cows have been killed, besides many
twine.
The rerort that five children in this
city are vu tiros of the disease Is dis
counted by the statement of Dr. Fox,
of the State Health Department, who
came here from Harrtsburg. He exam
ined the children who are convalescent,
and says that It is doubtful if they
ever had the disease.
All the resources of the State of Penn
sylvania will be drawn upon, if neces
sary, to slop the foot and mouth dis
ease among the cattle of the f tale. The
Government, it Is said, may iind it nec
essary, inasmuch as the source of the
disease has not yet been learned, to
quarantine every cattle state.

Two cases of foot and mouth disease
were found today on a Niagara County
farm and one infected herd in Erie County

In a statement this afternoon President
Whaley of the East Buffalo Livestock
Association, said:
This is the time that the. Legislature

so built as to be flushed every day. This
Is the only solution of the problem of

DISEASE ATTACKS CHILDREN

Four Die as Result of Contagion
Contracted From Cattle.
WASHINGTON. Nov. a. Alarming
results following the outbreak of a
contagious foot and mouth disease In
New York and Pennsylvania, causing
those states to be quarantined against
interstate shipments of cattle, etc.,
were shown today In a dispatch which
reached Secretary of Agriculture Wil
son, stating that four children in Dan
ville, Ind., had contracted the disease.
A rigid investigation is in progress
to determine whether others have been
affected similarly. The officials believe
that the spread of the contagion will
be checked, although admitting that
the situation is grave.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21. All the
resources of the State of Pennsylvania
will be drawn upon, if necessary, to
stop the foot and mouth, disease among
the cattle of the state. The Govern
ment, it is said, may find it necessary,
inasmuch as the source of the disease
has not yet beer, learned, to quarantine
every cattle state.
SUODT TO BE RE-ELECTED
NO OPPOSITION WILL MEET HIM
IX UTAH.
Unanimous Vote of Legislature Will
Be Given Senator Whose Case
Was Threshed Out.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 19. Senator Reed Smoot
of Ctah, apostle In the Mormon church,
will be re-elected to the Senate without
opposition In his own party, and it is
probable he will receive practically the
unanimous vote of the Utah Legisla
ture. This is the opinion of Senator
Sutherland. Mr. Smoot's colleague.
Senator Smoots term will expire March
4. 1009. and he will be re-elected by
the Legislature which assembles nexc
January.
There will be no revival of the
"Smoot case" in the next Congress, for
the questions Involved were ail threshed
out in the first four years of the Mor
mon Senator's term, and the Senate,
by substantial majority, held that
Senator Smoot was not disqualified
from holding his Federal office by
reason of being an apostle in the Mor
mon church. If the over-sensitive
church people consider It necessary to
again enter protest against the re-seating
of Senator Smoot, they will find
the Senate la not disposed to hearken
to- their cries. The Senate had more
than Its fill of this fight, and will very
promptly pigeon-hole any new protests
that may be presented.
The Smoot case would not have been
dragged out to such a great length, but
for the fact that Senator Dubois of
Idaho, in the hope of prolonging his
own political career, had time and again
prevented a vote. Dubois is not now a
member of the Senate, and there is
no other member of that body who is
"daffy" on the Mormon question. That
is another reason why a renewal of
attacks upon Smoot will be treated
with scant consideration. If the Utah
Legislature re-elects Smoot, the Sen
ate will not for a moment question its
action.
INDICT HAINSES AGAIN
Defect in Indictments Causes Xew
Call to Grand Jury.
NEW YORK." Nov. II. District Attor
ney Darrln has summoned the Queens
County grand Jury in extra session next
Monday to consider evidence in the An
nls murder case. The grand jury has
already returned an indictment for mur
der in the first degree against Captain
Peter C. Hains and another Indictment
against his brother, T. Jenkins Hains,
charging him with aiding and abetting
his brother in the commission of crime,
and further with having fired the bullet
that killed Annls. In view of the fact
that It was Captain Hains who fired the
fatal shot, the lawyers for the defense
allege that this indictment Is faulty.
Supreme Court Justice Garretson has re
fused, however, to set it aside.
FATE CRUEL TO FAMILY
Father Dies of Blood Poison,

SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 21. (Special.)
Survived by a widow who is critically
111 with neuralgia, and three children 111

Gives Reception to Foreign

Ceremony.
REGENT IS DISAPPOINTING
Harries to Meet Gncsts and Looks
Frightened, Like Kuang Hsu.
rresence of All Imperial
Clan Disproves Suicides.
PEKIN. Nov. 21. The ceremony at
the imperial palace this morning, when
the members of the diplomatic corps
presented their respective govern
ments' condolences on the death
of the Emperor and Dowager Empress
of China, was one of the most impres
sive ever witnessed in Pekin. A not
able feature was the presence of every
member of the impenial clan, as well
as every official who had been reported
dead or eliminated from the conduct of
affairs of state. This was the answer
ot the government to the rumors of sui
cides and deaths current in Pekin for
the last week.
No opportunity was lost to make
the function striking. Prince Ching,
for the first time since the passing
away of their majesties, appeared of
ficially at the head of the foreign
board. The' chiefs of the various gov
ernment departments were present and
In :tddltlon several thousand minor of
ficials, all dressed In white.
Gorgeous Show ot Color.
At the conclusion of the functions in
honor of the dead, the diplomats paid
homage to Prince Chun, the Regent. Each
foreign legation was represented by three
of its members and the spectacle as the
foreigners approached the palace was un
precedented. They marched through a
throng ot mandarins distributed over the
three marble terraces leading to the Chien
Ching Kung hall, located at the head of
the main avenue of the Forbidden City.
This building is used to receive foreign
ministers . when they come to present
their credentials, and its position is a
commanding one. The approaches were
lined by a remarkable display of red um
brellas, huge fans and screens of man'
colors and other objects of decoration
used by the court for state processions.
The day was bright and sunny, and the
multi-colored emblems were vivid against
the white stonework and the spotless
white garments of the assembled officials.
Dead Monarclis Lie In State.
The bodies of their majesties reposed
each in a separate hall. The catafalqne
of the Emperor was on a dais in the
Chien Ching Hall and was draped In
black satin, embroidered with dragons.
The large image ot a bird above the
throne, emblematic of the glory and
beauty that good government shed
over the world, was covered with a
white curtain, as were the numerous
mirrors in the throneroom. while satin
screens, set at oblique angles to the
catafalque, shut out from the view of
the foreign representatives a numerous
gathering of mourning palace attend
ants and servants. Prince Chun, tba
Regent, stood at a table beside the
catafalque of the Emperor.
The Dowager Empress lay in state In
her own private palace, called "Huang
Chi Tien.' where she received the con
gratulations of the diplomats on Novem
ber 3 on the occasion of the 74th anni
versary of her birth. Tills palace Is lo
cated in the east wing of .the Forbidden
City, a section heretofore called the harem
quarter.
Prince Chun. In Hurry.
The diplomats passed from the hall
where lay the body of the Emperor to the
palace of the Dowager, and were preceded
by Prince Chun, who covered the dis
tance with unmistakable evidence of
haste. The catafalque of her majesty also
was flanked by white screens. Behind
that on the left were grouped all the wo
men of the Imperial clan, attended by
their servants, and they were all plaioly
visible to the foreigners. The men of the
imperial clan were behind the screens on
the right side. The mourning dress of the
court was the same as worn by the popu-
'a(virtually every official in Pekin, to
gether with many men of high stand
ing who expect office, was present.
Prince Ching. president of the For
eign Board, was conspicuous for his
alertness. Tuan Shi Kai, member of
the Grand Council, it was noticed,
limped from the effects of a recent ac
cident. Kegent Looks Frightened.
The appearance of Prince Chun was
noted with the greatest interest. The
praises of the regent have been sung
during the last few days in fulsome
terms, and, as a result, cautious dip
lomats were prepared for something
different from what these eulogies had
led them to expect, especially in the
light of the edict issued yesterday, ac
centuating his powers. In appearance
the Prince was a disappointment. He
bears a strong resemblance to the late
Kuang Hsu. His face was worn and
drawn and bore an expression of
fright.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. The first
report of an outbreak under the new
regime in China came to the State De
partment today from American Consul

ported that a 'riot had occurred on the
Tangtae Ttiver in that vicinity. The
cause of the trouble was not stated.
Hankow is about 400 miles inland,
and is on the railway line from Pekin

diplomatic colleagues had received any
dispatches from the consular represen

China Indicating any disturbance.

Wisconsin Central Added to
His Great Empire.
INVADES HILL TERRITORY
Control of Road Gives Access to Vp-
per Lakes Dangerous Rival to
Hill Lines If Road Should
Be Improved.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21. A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from New York says:
There has been but little' connection of
Harriman's name with the affairs of the
Wisconsin Central, but from an excellent
source it Is ascertained he has practically
secured control of that property. It is
now assumed in certain quarters that the
election of George Gould to a Wisconsin
Central directorship occurred at the sug
gestion of Mr. Harriman and that Mr.
Gould is in Wisconsin Central practically
as Mr. Harriman's representative.
Though Mr. Harriman has not yet taken
any official position In the Gould dlrec-
torates, it is understood that Mr. Gould is
closely following his suggestions in the
handling of the affairs of the Gould
roads. There have recently been very
strong advices to buy Wisconsin Central
and Wabash.
Control of the Wisconsin Central by
Mr. Harriman means a vigorous Incur
sion into the territory which has been
feeding his rival. J. J. Hill's, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads
with traffic It has 768 miles of track,
with a main line from Minneapolis,
through Milwaukee to Chicago, and
branches to Ashland. Bessemer. Port
age and other points. It thus reaches
the iron range country on Lake Su
perior and the great cities on Lake
Michigan.
The Wisconsin occupies -such a good
strategic position that it has proved
attractive to many railroad magnates,
but it is so badly located and poorly
constructed that one after another has
dropped it for lack of means to put it
in good condition. This was the trou
ble when the Northern Pacific secured
control early in the '90s. That com
pany had all it could carry in' its ex
tensions and real estate speculations
on the Pacific Coast, and had no money
to rehabilitate a broken-down line.
When the Northern Pacific went into
receivers' hands in 1894, the Wisconsin
Central was cut loose and returned to
its owners.
The road recently changed the con
trol W. A. Bradford becoming presi
dent but the element he represented
was 'kept secret. The Chicago dispatch
indicates that he must be a Harriman
man. -
As a reorganizer and reconstructor
of broken-down railroads, Mr. Harri
man is acknowledged to have no peer.
His achievements with the Union Pa
cific and Central Paciiic prove that. If
he should change the line of the Wis
consin Central. Improve Its grades.

88-Nofe Player-Piano
Is so far in advance of other player pianos that a comparison
seems like comparing a thoroughbred racer with a dray horse. Ihe
"APOLLO" operates the entire keyboard o.the piano 88 notes
while others play 65 notes only. !
The "APOLLO" has a patented transposing device, enabling
the performer to plav in different keys with one and the same roll
thus accommodating itself to medium, high or low voice, or in
struments of different pitch.
The "APOLLO" automatically rewinds itself.
The "APOLLO" is the only player-piano on the market that
operates the piano key in the same manner as the human fingers.
The "APOLLO" runs with such ease that a little child can
play it-
The "APOLLO" Is worthy of your investigation.
Tha "APOLLO" 88-Note player-piano has proven to. us, be
yond a doubt, that a 65-note player is a thing of the past, and as
soon as we can dispose of the 65-note players we now have on
hand, we will handle only such player-pianos as have a range of
the entire piano keyboard, or 88 notes.
