SY-OUT ON MONITOR CHEY-
ENNE IS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN SATISFACTORY.
SAN PEDRO, Cal, April 16.-The
' ''oast defense monitor Cheyenne re
, . j rued to this port yesterday from a
Tng cruise made to test the efficiency
'f oil as fuel Although no official
titemrnt will be made until the re-
rt sent to Washington is given out,
inkers who have watched the tests
ire strong in their praise of oil as
iiel for warship df all kinds.
They state that it has been proven
that the saving in fuel is considerable
as well a,s the saving in labor and
that the working of the oil burning
plant installed on the monitor at Mare
island has been perfect theoretically
and practically. Steam pressure can
le maintained mnch more evenly than
with coat a higher speed can be sec
ured and smoke, cinders and dirt are
eliminated.
In times of war. the absence of
smoke, the officers point out, is a
valuable consideration as it makes it
anttch more difficult for any enemy to
discover the presence of the ship or
to locate her exact whereabouts.
With oil the Creyenne, on a high
power trial trip has been able to make
a higher rate of speed than with coal
and her steaming radios of 1.500
miles with coal has been increased to
2300 with oil. The air supplied to ,th
turners is super-heated to about 400
degrees fahrenheit before entering
the burners, and the oil to about 200
degrees. The oil is nsed in a gaseous
state, instead of as a liqnir. The of-

One Part Of Law Has Been Declared
Unconstitutional.
.WASHINGTON', April -Further
attempts on the part of Congress
to regulate the white slave trade by
punishing persons guilty of harborine
an alien woman for immoral purposes
have been abandoned in view of a
recent decision of the Supreme Conrt
of the United States, declaring uncon
stitutional, a portion of the immigra
tion act of 1907, relating to this sub
ject. "When we put the provision in the
law against the harboring of snch
persons. Representative Bennett of
New York, who fathered the bill in
the House said today, "we recognized
that it would probably be declared on-
onstitutional. But we wanted to
leave no stone unturned to suppress
the traffic. With that object in view,
we nau tne Department of nstiee

tutional, but which did not prove to
be.

NEGRO HEAVYWEIGHTS.
PARIS, April 16. An unusually
large demand for tickets gives evi
dence of the public interest displaved
in the finish fight at Wonderland to
morrow night between the American
negro heavyweights. Sam McVey and
Joe Jeannette. The fight is expected
to settle the long-disputed question
of supremacy between the two big
negroes. A few weeks ago they met
in a twenty-round bout, and the ref
eree after first declaring Jeanette had
won reversed his decision in favor of
McVey. Interest in the coming, bat
tle has been increased by the fact
that the winner will probably be
matched to fight Sam La n ford before
the National Sporting Club of Lon

Coal Magnate.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Smoke is a
blessing to the world, and a boon to
health, according to a statement by
W. P. Rend, coal magnate, in reply
to an address by Secretary E. R.
Pritchard of the Board of Health,
declaring it a nuisance.
"This talk about smoke being a
curse is all nonsense," Mr. Rend de
clares. "The creator who made coal
knew that there would be smoke and
knew that smoke would be a good
thing for the world.
"Take the coal operator who is at
all times breathing not only smoke
but coal dust in addition. His lungs
are black with both, and yet he is one
of the healthiest men in the world.
In all my experience among coal op
erators I know of only one who died
of tuberculosis.
"The carbon in th esmoke is a boon
to health. As the smoke ascends the
carbon in it .kills the germs of every
kind of disease and purifies the air
and yet this is what the new class of
reformers would do away with."
SAN FRANCISCO. April 16.
Three hundred guests of the St
George Hotel, a lodging house in
Howard Street between Eight and
Ninth Streets were thrown into
panic by a fire which completely de
streyed the building, a three story
frame structure, shortly after
o'clock this morning. While it
not known that any lives were lost,
it was reported by the clerk that at
least twenty of the guests could not
be accounted for.
Six men were severely burned, one
probably fatally, and many received
minor injuries by leaping from the
upper stories or by being trampled in
the mad rush to escape.
The seriously injured were hurried
to the central Emergency Hospital
for treatment and the others, few of
whom saved their clothing, were
housed in nearby lodgings.
Corporal Fontana and Policeman
Kroger discovered the fire and drag
ged many of the sleeping guests from
their beds at the risk of their own
lives. There were scores of narrow
escapes.
The building burned rapidly and
within an hour was in ruins.
Those most seriously injured were:
Cartwight, Salem, Ore probably
fatally.
Patrick Guerin.
John NeilL
John Erickson
John Potts.
John Main. 4
So soon as the embers cooled suf
ficiently a search was begun by the
firemen for bodies that might be un
der the ruins.
Most of the guests were laboring
men.

hundred patients, many of them re
dining on stretchers or propped in
wheel chairs witnessed a three round
bout in the big Clinic amphitheatre
in QcIIcvue Hospital last night. The
boxing match was only one feature of
a varied programme given for the en

taut Episcopal mission. It was a
weird sight as the halt and the lame,
and partly blind, and the maimed,
both men and women, assembled in
the room ordinarily used for opera
tions, to witness the merrymaking.
In the other parts of the hospital lay
the sick and the dying but thick walls
shut off all sounds from the amphi
theater.
Two eighteen year old boys furni
hed the boxing division. They were
introduced as Kid Schmita and Kid
Smalley. It was announced that
they weighed 1 IS pounds. After the
lads shook hands they went at it ham
mer and tongs and at the end of the
third round Smiu had a cut lip and a
bleeding nose. The bout was then
leclared a draw. Two hundred phy
sicians ana nurses mingled with the
patients.

New York Fans Find Silly Explana
tion Of Loss Of First Game.
NEW YORK, April 16.-The thou
sands of New Yorkers who united in
wail of woe at New York's defeat
by Brooklyn in a thirteen inning
game as an opener to the National
League season yesterday have discov
ered the reason why, at the least the
superstitious ones are sure of it. It
develops that the ball which Richard
Croker, the Ex-Tammany leader,
threw on to the hem tor the game
was hurled from box thirteen. Few
observed the bad omen at the time,
but when the local players had gone
thirteen innings with out a score, and
down to defeat, the rooters shought
an excuse and found a good one, they
thought, when it became generally
known from where the ball was tos
sed. The sensation sprung in yester
day's game is expected to attract an
other record breaking crowd to the
polo grounds again today when New
York and Brooklyn again cross bats

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of .the kidneys is to remove all uric
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't dally with "uric acid solvents."
You might go on till doomsday with
them, but until you cure the kidneys
you will never get well. Doan's Kid
ney Pills not only remove uric acid,
but cure the , kidneys and then all
danger from uric acid is ended. Here
is Astoria testimony to prove it:
