made to a height of about 1,000 feet
and Aeronaut Beechey, after directing
the Angelus at will in opposition to a
strong wind, returned the airship to
within 500 feet of the aerodrome, when
the motor suddenly stopped. While

Angelus rose to an altitude of nearly
4.000 feet and was allowed to drift for
some time before a strong wind.

Portland the Angelus descended and was
brought back to Portland in a wagon.

New Orleans, Aug. 9. The report of
the board oTIiealth to 6 P. M. is as fol

total, 118; new subfoci, 12; total
130; cases under treatment, 203.
New Orleans, Aug. 9. Public Interest
in the general yellow fever situation
suffered a temporary eclipse today in the
unexpected death of Archbishop ' Chap
pelle, the mis-t tlistinguished victim of
the disease. Although the venetfible
prelate was subject to scientific -treat
merit and had the most assiduous at'
tent ion, his physique always counted
heavily against him in the opinion of
both the laity and physicians, white his
latigued condition on his return from
a particularly. irksome trip through the
country was against him.
His death, therefore, while generally
deplored, is not considered to a nega
tive opinion of the medical fraternity
that with the good care and proper
treatment the mortaTlty is unlikely to
be heavy during the present visitation.
What has been constdered remarkable
is that the archbishop should have con
traded the disease so quickly after his
arrival, though he spent many of the
latter years of his life in Cuba and
Porto Rico, in both of which countries
the disease has been epidemic, without
ever having contracted it.
Among scientific men there is little
doubt that the archbishop fell victim
to the mosquito during the brief visit
be paid to the old archbishopric, on
Chartres street, or an insect which found
its way into his residence, which is not
far from the territory within which
there has been infection.
Today's record of cases is again
large and there was- an increase in the
number of deaths. New cases are swell
ing hugely as the result of the vim and
energy which the Federal control of
tho situation has inspired and from the
gradual .overcoming of the disinclination
of some doctors to make known their
ascs. An overwhelming preponderance
of case continues below Canal street
and the disease has nowhere got a firm
hold above.
BIG CUT IN TIMBER.
Vancouver. B. C, Aug. 9. -A big cut

Albany N. Y Aug. 9. The collapse
of the John G. Myers company depart
ment store yesterday, which resulted in
the death of 13 persons and the probable
fatal injury of two others, is to be in
vestigated by a. special commission. To
avoid the possibility of prejudiced in
quiry, Mayor Gaus has decided that all
investigators will be out-of-town men.
That the discovery of 13 bodies, al
ready taken out, will account probably .
for all the victims of the accident, is a
surprise to Albanians, who until this
afternoon expected that at least a dozen
more mangled forma were buried be
neath the ruins. So sure are the wreck
ers that no more bodies are there that
they will suspend search.

Montana Congressman to Impeach Tes
timony of Government Witness.
Helena, Mont., Aug. f. In the trial
of R. M. Cobban in the United States
District court, charged with suborna
tion of perjury in connection with tim
ber land entries, Congressman Dixon of
Montana was put ou the stand today
to impeach the testimony of Chauncey
L. Griswold, the chief witness for the
government.
All evidence in the case was concluded
today and the defense offered to put in

decided against the government. Judge
Hunt took the offer nnder consideration.
The case w ill go to the jury Friday.
Santa Fe, X. M., Aug. 9. The third
attempt in recent months to kidnap
Miguel A. Otero, son of Governor Otero
of New Mexico, has been defeated by
the temporary absence of the boy from
the summer home of Mrs. W, E. Child
ers, where he had been a guest. Six
cavily armed men rode- up to the Child-
ers cottage, on the upper Pecos river,
yesterday and demanded the boy, . Mrs.
Childers, who' was alone with the serv
ants, informed the men that young Otero
was not on the premises, but they
searched the building end then rode
away.
The boy was with his uncle, on a fish
ing trip at the time. Deputy Sheriff ,
Charles Closson and a posse were im
mediutely sent to the camp in the moun- .
tains, where the young man was stay
ing, and returned here with him, close
ly guarding against a surprise by the
would-be kidnapers while en route.
While at the camp they learned that
members of the band had been to the
eamp, but young Otero was away fish
ing and thereby escaped them. It is
believed the leader of the band is an ex-
convict lately pardoned by Governor
Otero. ' .
