TEMPLE SAVED BY MIRACLE

VICTORIA, Aug. 14. When the Em
press of India, which reached port this
ajternoon, was leaving Kobe, sufferers
from the great tire at Oaska were
strung out over the main roads around
the bay and making their way by junk
and sampan to Kobe for succor, and
many heartrending scenes were re
ported. The fire destroyed 32 streets, cover
ing five square miles, at Osaka, with a
loss of J1.IIUO.OU1, caused 13 deaths,
mostly police and soldiers, and injured
many persons.
The fire started at Tamada's hosiery
factory In Nichomo. North Ward, short
ly before daylight on .July 31, and
spread rapidly, licking up the wattle
and bamboo houses across Sixth street,
while the firemen, without water from
the Osaka water works, were using
water drawn with buckets from wells
until the soldiers came from the Osaka
garrison and began dynamiting houses
in the path of the fire.
.Miraile Saves Temple.
The main building of the great Ten
nojl temple was saved and the supersti
tious Japanese declare that this was due
to miraculous intervention. The flames
reached the temple at 10:30 A. M. While
the crowds of priests were scurrying to
rescue the art treasures, remarkable
scenes were witnessed In the temple
grounds. Finally, when the rear gate
was burned.-a priest called upon the
spirits of the dead to stay the flames.
,snnn afterward the wind veered, in
creasing in force, and diverted the
flames toward Horlkawa, a wide canal
connected with the Yodo River, on
either aide of which Osaka Is built. The
Shinto priests were all garbed in their
ceremonial white robes and were as
sisted by 300 troops of the Osaka garri
son sent to aid them convey the tem
ple treasures to another temple at Na
kanoshl Park, on an Island in the tt.id
dle of the river, where- General Iszu
and his troops from the garrison In
Osaka castle, safe from the flames, had
their quarters.
Many Great Buildings Burn.
, It was hoped that the flames would be
stayed at the canal, where a great light
was made, but at 12:30 the tire leaped
the canal and spread towards the Ume
rtai station, the great station on the
Tokkaido Ume. Thence it pursued its
course southeasterly to the Commercial
Museum ' and still further westward,
burning the museum, the Osaka Court
of Appeal, the North Ward district of
fice, a newsppaer office, the Kice Ex
change, a commercial .school, a girls'
high school, the meteorological station,
the Governor's official residence, the
Kaisel Hospital and tneNortherrr Yoshi
wara. beside a very large .number of
private buildings.
Field hospitals were established by
the militia and many- injured were
taken In for treatment
Ready to Atone by Death.
The proprietor of the hosiery factory
where the tire started and his wife were
stopped by police from attempting to
throw themselves in the flames, shout
ing that they did so to atone for the
catastrophe.
In the afternoon four battalions or
engineers came from Takasuki, a sub
urb with dvnamlte and began blowing
down the houses in the Northern Yoshi
wara on a large scale to try to stop the
fire but thev were driven back. Their
efforts had the result of splitting the
rath of the flames. The streetcars on
Dojlin were stopped, passengers ordered
t.. alight, and were rushed through the
burning area to the car sheds.

DAY OF TRIAL JS LOST
, Continued From First Pa(te.
p.-esent today would have tied on the
question of retaining the 12 articles In
volved. Six of the 21 who voted "aye" on
sustaining the demurrer yesterday were
absent, while three of IS who voted
against sustaining the demurrer were
ahsert. The apparent result would
have been a vote of 1 to 15.
The apparent desire for delay on the
part of Attorney Israel and the Insur
ance Commissioner is suspected by the
board of managers to mean that the
accused officer will question the juris
diction of the Senate to proceed with
the trial after the close of next week.
Session Must End Saturday.
Monday, under the' ruling of the Attorney-General,
will be the 55th day of
ihe session, and under the constitu
tional limitation the Legislature must
end Saturday. There is little prospect
of the trial being completed next week.
The board of managers estimates the
time required for further proceedings
at 12 days, but lawyers in the Senate
declare that, even though the legislative
body must adjourn next Saturday, the
Senate may continue to sit as an im
peachment court so long as may be
necessary. The question is open to ar
gument, however, and it is believed that
' the defense intends to make a strong
point of the length or the session, ana
even If the objection Is nof sustained,
.seek to get the case into the courts, if
'impeachment ia voted, on the ground
that final action was taken by a body
KtThout jurisdiction.
The impeachment board is now en
gaged In drafting 12 amended articles
to take the place of those in the orig
inal document which seemed to fall un
der the ruling of yesterday, and these
amended articles will be submitted to
the house Monday.
-After considerable discussion today
the Senate Instructed the secretary to
employ a sufficient number of stenog
raphers to take down In detail all the
arguments as well as the motions, rul
ings and evidence. Up to the present
time no transcript has been made of
the arguments. Members who opposed
the motion declared that the additional
expense -rould be not less than $100 a
day, not Including the. cost of print
ing. RAV OF SOLOXS JS HELD IT

State Auditor today, that he will not
allow the members of the Legislature
their pay until each one makes affi
davit to the payroll.
He also said that he would not issue
the warrants for the mileage that the
members voted themselves for extend
ing the second half of the special ses
sion, and declares that if either House
adjourns for more than three days the
members of that branch will receive no
pav while enjoying a vacatlon-
Hfs stand has surprised the law
makers, and the matter will be taken
up with Attorney-General Bell. The
payrolls are made out and are now in
the Auditor's office, but he refuses to
issue any warrants.
BOLD lEVESlllUGHT
MYSTKRV OF F.DWIX CAMPBELL
HOLD-UP C LEAKED.
John W. Womelsdorf, Former Em
ploye of Gas Company, Believed
by Police to Be Chief Culprit.
Through the work, of Detectives Cole
man. Price and Carpenter, the holdup of
Edwin Campbell, capitalist and president
of the Campbell Loan & Trust Company,
who lives at 196 Willamette boulevard and
who was robbed of money and Jewelry
about a week ago valued at nearly 11000,
was cleared up last night. The identity
of the robbers was established, the J1S0
watch and the $660 diamond which Mr.
Campbell had recently bought from a
Morrison-street jeweler were recovered.
A sensational feature of the case is that
one of the highwaymen is the nephew of
the first wife of the victim. He gave the
police the name of John Wesley Womels
dorf, 25 years old. He has lived In Port
land for years asd was employed by the
Portland Gas Company for six years.
The detectives took him into custody In
the Willamette rooming-house. 322Vi Stark
street, where later they discovered the
expensive gem lost by the capitalist and
the stolen watch hidden in a suit of
Womelsdorfs clothing.
Womelsdorfs partner in the crime has
in -in u for a week Dast. arrested on
suspicion by the same officers. This roan
Is recorded on tne ponce uucki
O'Rourke.- According to- the version of
the affair given by the officers. O'Rourke
held the gun on the night of the holdup
and Womelsdorf did the searching.
O'Rourke was formerly employed as
swamper at the Kenyon Hotel, at Nine
teenth and Washington streets. Both he
and Womelsdorf have been thrown Into
contact with the low women of the North
End and. according to the information In
the hands of the police, had fallen into
living oft the earnings of these women.
The robbery was planned, it is be
lieved, a week before It occurrea. Wom
elsdorf saw Mr. Campbell buy the dia
mond and he and O'Rourke followed him
about for several nights, waiting for a
good opportunity to rob him. The dia
mond when found had been taken out of
its settiDg, so its identity would be dif
ficult. Incidental to clearing up the case, the
officers took Into custody Earl Hansen,
i. o- th "w-.M Tooth Kid." and the
inmates of a house of ill fame at First
and Clay streets. The women gave me
names of Marie Josephine Hall and Ethel
Buell. One of these women Is the con
sort of young Womelsdorf. These pris
oners were charged with vagrancy. It
-o Vnnu..n thnt Womelsdorf freouented
this house and smoked opium with Han
sen.
Edwin Campbell was held up within
a block of his house about ten days ago
Just after alighting from a St. John
car. about midnight. The robbers were
hiding behind a clump of brush and
one jumped at him with the command
to put up his hands. It was so dark
no one could have seen the stone In
his tie. and when the searcher was
through, the other man told him not to
overlook the diamond which Mr. Camp
bell habitually wore.
The solution of the case is regarded
as a clever piece of work among police
circles. .
MONSTER SHIPS LIKELY
S0.000-TOX BATTLE CKAFT TO
BE NEXT ORDERED.
Uncle Sam to Lead World With Ves
sels Carrying 14-Inch Rifles
of Great Power.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. (Special.)
Congress may be asked next Winter to
provide for two 30.000-ton battleships,
each with 12 14-inoh guns, and each cost
ing $12,000,000. It is stated that such a
programme has been pretty carefully
studied out.
After considerable preliminary work,
the first 14-inch gun has been construct
ed at the Mid vale works, and is shortly
to be tested at the Naval proving grounds
at Indian Head. If it is deemed desir
able to have guns of 14-inch caliber, It
will Immediately become a question
whether there shall be 10 or 12 of such
guns on each battleship. The proposition
of two years ago, during the Newport
conference, was to have 10 14-inch guns
Instead of 12 12-lnch guns, the former
caliber to have a relatively diminished
velocity.
It was finally decided, however, that
when the 14-inch gun was developed it
should be of a hitting power commensur
ate with the Increase of caliber compared
with the 12-lnch gun. There Is an in
clination also to adhere to 12-incil guns
In the battleship battery, and it Is pos
sible that with the adoption of the 14
inch gun there will be 12 'Instead of 10
of those rifles, in which event the next
battleships to be authorized will be of at
least 30.000 tons displacement, and esti
mated to cost approximately $12,000,000
each.
It is likely such a battleship will have
the same speed and endurance as the
26,000-ton battleships now building. Much
may depend In the determination of this
question upon the plans adopted . by
European navies.
Car's Victim Dies.
William Kirkpatrick. the aged man from
San Jose. Cal., who vw seriously hurt
by getting off a streetcar on the wrong
side a" week ago at East Thirty-oeventh
street and Hawthorne avenue, died last
night at St. Vincent's Hospital. The re
mains will probably be shipped back to
California for interment.

BEVBIIY. Mass.. Aug. 14. Although
President Taft had a long talk with
Postmaster-General Hitchcock this after
noon regarding some disputed census ap
pointments, announcement of the names
of more than 200 supervisors yet to be
commissioned was withheld until tomor
row. The delay in announcing the success
ful candidates was due to the Inability of
Mr. Taft to complete today the signing
of the commissions. Secretary N'agel of
the Depar;ment of Commerce and Labor
affixed his signature to all of the com
missions before leaving today.
Lyon Wants All Texas Job.
Colonel Cecil Lyon, Republican Na
tional Committeeman from Texas, hur
ried back to Boston last night when the
Beverly curfew bell began to toll, but
accompanied )lr. Hitchcock to the Taft
cottage today. Colonel Lyon said he
wanted to talk over the President's trip
through Texas next October, but that, if
the President should bring up the ques
tion of census supervisors, he would be
glad to converse on the subject with the
chief magistrate.
As a matter of fact. Colonel Lyon is
urging that all the 16 census supervisors
in Texas be Republicans, and his protest
has held up the names of the eight Demo
crats and eight Republicans named. Colo
nel Lyon tonight intimated that his argu
ments have made some impression on the
President.
Driven Out by Curfew Bell.
On his arrival last night. Colonel
Lyon delayed seeking a place to dine
until 7 o'clock, and then found that
both of the hotel dining-rooms were
closed. With Director of the Census
Durand, Colonel Lyon had to sit on a
high stool at a lunch counter and eat
Boston baked 'beans and pie. The
Texan thought this bad enough, but
when the curfew belt sounded at 9
o'clock, he nearly collapsed.
"Well, you must admit. Colonel, that
Beverly is better than Oyster Bay," in
terposed one of his friends.
"Yes, better In one way," replied the
Colonel, "there are more trains to leave
it, and me for the next one."

The President today altered his
previously announced route through
Arizona to include Phoenix and Pres
cott among the places to be visited on

REVIVE WATER TRAFFIC
BVRTOV SUGGESTS CONGRESS
FIX MINIMUM RATES. v
Says Rivers Not Used Because Rail
roads Starve Out Steamer
Lines.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. (Special.)
"The immediate need in the development
of the Nation's waterways," said Senator
Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the Joint,
waterways commission, on the eve of
setting out for Europe to study trans
portation on that side. of the Atlantic, "is
legislation that will enforce a policy of
live and let live as between the railroads
and the waterways. The fact that this
Nation carries no greater part of its
freight by water Is not primarily , due to
a lack of development of the streams. It
is due to a domination on the part of the
railroads.
"On the Mississippi, between St. Louis
and the mouth of the Ohio, this Govern
ment has spent more money on that sec
tion of that one river than has Germany
upon the Rhine, yet the German stream
hauls a hundred times as much
freight as the Mississippi. Ameri
cans will not use their waterways,
because they have been prevented from
doing so."
Mr. Burton went on to explain that no
individual or corporation can safely spend
the money necessary to enter the trans
portation business on any of our streams,
because, although present rates would
make It profitable to spend millions in the
building of steamboats, the builders
would have no assurance the railroads
would not cut the rates to such a figure
that they would assuredly be starved out.
The railroads have killed the water trans
portation in Its infancy systematicallly.
Mr. Burton's position is that the Na
tion suffers because of this suppression
of water traffic and that it could be pre
vented if Congress should place rates
between given points below which the
railroads were not allowed to cut their
rates. Germany has done this and de
veloped the two systems side by side. The
traffic on the railways has not suffered
and the country has greatly benefited.
"Is there any likelihood of Congress
taking any action in this direction?" Sen
ator Burton was asked.
"There Is every assurance of some such
action on the part of Congress," he re
plied. 'I can't say that it will come next
session. It is the vital Initiative meas
ure in the whole matter and it will come."
These statements made by Mr. Burton
are indicative of the spirit of Congress
and as promising action that will aid
waterways development In the immediate
future. The report that he and his as
sociates will bring In next Fall will be
the basis of the Congressional viewpoint
in the coming session. His statement may
be taken as an indication of the tenor
of that report.

Oregon's Most Beautiful Beach Resort
AN OPEN LETTER TO PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF BEACH PROPERTY:
- ' . . Portland, Or., Aug. 15, 1909.
To the Public:
I have just returned from-a trip to Garibaldi Beach, and, after a careful in
spection of the beach between Tillamook and Nehalem Bays, can unhesitatingly
indorse Tillamook Beach as my choice of anything in that locality. The owners
were indeed fortunate to secure this tract at a price which makes it possible to
sell lots at prices now offered.
Mv opinion of this tract is evidenced by the fact that I purchased several
lots for mv Summer home while on the ground the railroad work is being
rapidly pushed to completion, and it is apparent that the road will be completed
within the contract period, June 1, 1910. Parties contemplating purchase
either for a Summer home or specula tio tfean do no better, in my opinion, than
to invest in " Tillamook Beach." ' (Signed). C. E. FIELDS.
What Others Say
The following indorsements from parties entirely
supports the contention that Tillamook Beach is the
