FREDERICK LARSON
(Continued from page 1)
fering man every aid in his power for
the time and place, and had the hos
pital ambulance summoned. When it
arrived in charge of Acting Police
Chief Fred Oberg (another personal
friend of the wounded man), he was
conveyed to St. Mary's and there
treated as the desperate nature of his
wound demanded, and where at a late
hour last night he was resting as
easily as might be expected under the
circumstances, with what Dr. Pilking
ton considered a fair chance for
pulling through.
There is a glimmer of romance
hidden in the sad circumstance of
this record, and which goes a long
way to account for the attempt Mr. tions of the rules in regard to cam
Larson made upon his life. It has paign assessments, and Daily was
not been fully confirmed as yet, but guilty of "pernicious activity in
the Morning Astorian has sufficient ' politics."
. atVmrlial -for it to hazard its oresen-1
ttlion nd does so only to account !
trr'-fkuer for the unhappy circum-,
I stance -of the hour. It seems that
when he left his old home in Sweden
gsome 22 years ago, a bright and eager
U II III
mi ipaWy
lad, bound for America to make his
fortune, he was formally bethrothed
to a pretty young cousin, then u
years of age, and who, through all
the long years intervening, has cher
ished her vows of constancy and giv
en him frequent testimony of her tin
wavering affection. But Mr. Larson
has been a "laggard lover" and this
has caused him to brood deeply over
the injustice done the girl and worn
an to whom he was pledged, and who
never failed to maintain her faith in
their ultimate happiness when the
old vow should be made good. He
has felt for sometime that he was in
no shape to go back to Sweden and
take up the guage of wedded life
there, with his own health broken
and a competency that was far too
meagre for division between his aged
and failing mother and the new home
he would have to set up; and al
though he had arranged to go to
these waiting dear ones this fall, he
alwavs had the constant assurance
that it would be a mistake and that
it could not redound to the peace
and happiness essential to the new
conditions inseparable from such
journey and such a meeting.
This it was that moved the man to
cut short the problem of life as he
found it, futile as the effort has
proved thus far. He will be given
all possible care in his extremity and
will not want for a 'thing that shall
contribute to his recovery, either as
to skilled treatment or the comforts
so essential at such a juncture; and
the hope is abroad among his friends,
that in the event of his recovery he
will yet find his way to the home
and people; who, of all others on earth,
are best qualified to make life what
it should be to a man of his years.
Dr. Pilkington made a rigid exam
inatioh of the wound and found that
the ball had fractured several of his
ribs and carried splinters of the bone
into the. lung, and apparently a piece
of the clothing he wore; the latter
circumstance giving ground for fear
of blood poisoning later; but he
made the necessary incisions in the
back and set up good clear drainage
and has hope of pulling the man
through a very critical , situation.
Time of course must determine this
issue.
The revolver Larson used in this
attempt on his life, he purchased yes
terday just about noon at a well
known gunsmith's establishment in
this city, and when the clerk asked
if he wanted a box' of cartridges, re
plied that ''he merely" wanted the
weapon loaded as that would be
enough for his purposes," and this is
deemed significant of the deadly idea
he was then cherishing.
Mr. Larson is a member in excel
lent standing of Astoria Lodge No.
6, Knights of Pythias, in this city,
and was one of its earliest members,
barely escaping charter entry into
its councils.

CAPITOL.

Great Congress of Physicians and

Man's Maladies Are Exchange
Views.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The in
ternational congress on Tuberculo
sis met again in general session this
morning at the national museum, the
even sections of the distinguished
athering having brought (o a close
last night the lengthy program map
ped out for a minute study of every
possible phase of the tuberculosis
roblem. Before the hour is reached
tinal adjournment, itr is believed the
day will prove more eventful in some
of its aspects than any, of the preced
ing esssions of the congress.
Although there were no set spce-
hes scheduled, the proceedings this
morning were principally consumed
with brief addresses. There were
many things of a purely business na
ture which engaged the attention of
the delegates. Reports were heard
from the secretaries of the different
sections. Resolutions relating to
scientific (uestions discussed by the
various sections -were referred to . a
general common resolution. The re
port of this committee will be made
in the closing hours of the session
this evening and it is confidently ex
pected to provoke heated discussion
and perhaps a clash among the dele
gates who have been arrayed against
each other at several meetings of the
sections.
The storm center of discussion pro
bably will relate to'pr. Robert Koch's
radical position denying the unity of
the human and bovine tubercule ba
cilli and' any attempt upon the part of

those who antagonize him in this
view to place the congress on record
will develop stubborn opposition.
Prof. Bernard Bang, of Copenhagen,
Denmark, tonight will address the
delefates in the assembly hall on
"Studies in Tuberculosis in Domes
tic Animals and What We May
Learn Regarding Human Tuberculo
sis." The delegates evinced interest in a
report to the congress by Dr. T. J.
Stafford concerning tuberculosis in
Ireland. Dr. Stafford asserted that
i in Ireland the problem of wiping out
tuberculosis was left in the hands of
local authorities designated by par
liament with delegated powers and
that the success of failure of the cam
paign against the disease depended
upon the measures of responsibility
felt bv the local bodies. He said
that because of the financial condi
tion of the country at this time it
was impossible to deal with all cases
of tuberculosis by the. intitutiosal
method of treatment.
The exhibition of the congress will
remain open until Oct. 12., and it is
probable that a majority of the dele
gates will remain here until the final
awards are made. About $10,000 in
cash prizes are to be given to com
petitors with the best exhibits. Many
medals are also to be bestowed.

BRIGHTON BEACH, N. Y., Oct.
3. Shortly after three o'clock the
French car No. 1 driven by Julian
Lock in the 24 hour race caught fire
as it was rounding the southeast turn
and ran into the inside iencc, its me
chanician unable to steer it, the
flames blinding him and inflicting se
vere burns. Less than three minutes
afterward the Italian car driven by
Matjcn, burst a tire at the same turn
a few feet from where the French
car had come to grief and was hurled
into the outer rail, both driver and
mechanician being hurled over 20
feet in the air. Matjen's hand and
arm were badly lacerated and bruis
ed but no bones were fractured.
The Italian car was impaled on the
broken railing and is hopelessly
wrecked. The French car is also per
manently disabled.
The accident' to No. 14 was due to
leaking gasoline which ignited as cos
tact with open exhaust flames. As
soon as arivcr ana mecnanician were
clear of the burning wreck, a half
dozen track attendants were dispatch
ed with red lanterns to warn the oth
er contestants to turn wide. Matjen's
car nad gone around tnree tims clear

when on the fourth round it was
thrown off its course by the burst
ing of a tire and shot Into the fence.

I Ml ILL OWNERS SPLIT.
Each Canadian Mill Will Hereafter
Regulate Its Own Prices.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 3.-As
a result of dissension among the
manufacturers at the largely attend
ed meeting of the shingle mill own
ers from Vancouver and vicinity yes
terday, it is announced today that
the prices and limitation of the out
put of each mill have gone by the
board, and from now on it is a case
Jf each for himself and of selling
much of the output as possible at the
best prices obtainable. The rock up
on which the organization split was
the alleged failure of some mills to
kcp up the schedule of prices.
CAPTAINS MUST ANSWER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-With
inquiry into the loss of the" Star of
Bengal before the United States in
spectors today the testimony of sev
eral seamen was taken to confirm the
charge of Captain. Wagoner of the
lost vessel that the 100 men who
lost their lives might have been
saved if captains of the Kayak and
Hattie Gage displayed more heroism
and not left them to their fate. The
captains of the tugs will be given a
hearing before the inquiry concludes.
