FRIDAY, MAY it, igo0. THE MORNING ASTOltlAN. ASTORIA, OREGON. A ' ILL I Government to Inquire Into Alieg. ed Lawlessness. TWO MEN KILLED EVERY DAY Italians and Irishmen Have Feud Laborers Throw Dynamite and Stones at One Another With Fatal Results. NEW YORK. May 17. According to the coroner. Peter Acritelli. lawlessness has reigned for months in the excava tion which the O'Kourke Construction Company is making for the new grand central station and the jjovernment ha demanded an investigation. The coro ner yesterday caused the arret of John Eldredp?. reueral superintendent of the CRourke Company and held him in $1000 bail on a charge of homicide, following the death of Angelo Bemsi. an Italian workman. He issued subpoena for the president of the corporation and all its general foremen. There has been an average of two deaths a day among the employes everj since I took office, said Coroner Aentelh 'last night 1 have been investigating at the re quest of the Italian Government, made through Consul General Count A. Rey baudimassiglia. "I have pretty good evidence in my possession that there has been a feud between the Irish and Italian laborers. It seems that an Italian did not know to handle dynamite. It went off and killed an Irishman. Ever since then ledges of rock have had a way of fall ing upon Italian. Most of the drillers are Irishmen and the Italians do the laborers work. I don't say the Italians are not at all to blame. That is not the question. It is whether attempts at a proper investigation shall be defeated." oooooooooooooooooo 0 FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. 0 0000 000000000000 0 The Hassalo "shoaf that was lost a few days ago is still lost.

PROTECTION NOT NEEDED Divorce of Church From Business Rela tions Will Cause Commercial Revo lution Which Will Affect the Whole State. SALT LAKE CITY. May 17. -The Mormon Church is going out of bu-i-ness according to a local morning paper. Its principal holding in Suit I.ake, the I'tuh Light 4 Railway Company, is to be taken oer by a iVOtm.WN.i coi jura tion comjMsed of English wild American capitalists. The new company will also acquire the Ogden Street Railway and build an electric line from .luub County, I'tah. to Omnia County. Idaho. It will be known as the Iiitermountuiu Con solidated Railroad Company nd will lie incorjiorated both in I'tah and Idaho. The board of directors will include H. H. Vreelund. New York City; Karon d'Oisscl. p.nis; Sir Thomas Jackson. 1imlon; W. (J. Rathhonc, Manchester, England; A. McKenzie. Ottawa, Canada ; Henry Dupont, Paris; Keresford lbe. Ixmdon. and a number of I'tah men. among them flovetlmr John C. Cutler. The enterjrise will be tinanced through the lnterinountain Trust Company, in .corporated in I'tah and Indian a few days ago. Simultaneously the announcement i made that the Salt I-nke l.ns Angeles Railway, another church property, has been sold to a local syndicate for Jf.TOO. OCX). This road is thirteen miles in length and runs from the city to the Lake. President Joseph Smith of the Mormon Church is quoted as saying that the divorce of religion from busi ness is made on account of the fact that the Mormons whom the church sought to protect years ago no longer need the protection of the church in business affairs. The church entered business to assist converts and strangers belonging to the church but as they are now on a firm footing the church will withdraw from business entirely. If this policy is eomjdetely carried out the sale of the traction interests will lie followed by the sale of stocks in banks, sugar factories, the great Z. C. M. I. department store, and many smaller enterprises. It will be nothing less than a eomnieivial revolution which will jMofoundly affect the jioliticul and social life of the state. COMPLETE NAVAL BILL. WASHINGTON', May 10. The naval appropriation bill carrying nearly $100, 000,000 was completed today in the house after one of the busiest days of the present congress. The feature of the day was the attempt to dcfe.it the appropriation for the largest liattlc-liip of its class in the world, and the tenor of the speech for the big shiji was that the United States mut be abreast of the nations of the world in the strength of its navy. The opponents talked for peace, disarmament and arbitration and insisted there was no need of such a large navy. An amendment to strike out the appropriation for a rival of the English Dreadnaught, was defeated as was the amendment leaving the con struction of the battleship to the dis cretion of the secretary of the navy after the second Hague conference. A final vote on the bill will be taken to morrow. It is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold. How often do we hear It remarked: " It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that a cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneu monia, and has gained its great popu larity and extensive sale by its prompt cures of this most common ailment. It always cures and is pleasant to take. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Herbine Will overcome indigestion and dys pepsia; regulate the bowels and cure liver and kidney complaints.

Massey, of 3322 Clinton St., Minne apolis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering which he endur ed during this time is beyond compre hension. Nothing gave him any perma nent relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One application of that liniment relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possible, and less than one bottle has effected a permanent cure. If troubled with sciatica or rheu matism why not try a 5-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quiakly It relieves the pain. For sale by Frank Hart, and leading druggists.
