TILDEN DIES AT SAN JO SE (Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.) .' San Jose. Cal.. Aug. 1. Beverly B. Tilden, soldier of fortune, famous In the world of art and opera, and 18 '.years ago the lionized pet of English nobility. Is dead at Innlsvale. his beau- tiful country home near Alum Rock JPark. Death came as a welcome relief to the man. whose ill-health haB made hlm an invalid for the past seven years and forced him to retire from public life to seek seclusion in this peaceful val I ley, far from the scenes of his glories and his triumph. - The life of Tilden was crowded with " romance and adventures such as come to few men. His father was the late Colonel William Tilden of New York, a millionaire. Beverly Tilden, thoufh Lorn In New York, spent most of his 'life In England, where his wealth and .talents along operatic lines speedily ' brought him renown. For seven years " lie was the Beau Brummel of English society, being taken up by the Duke of Cambridge and the present Princess of I Wales. It was he who introduced Lll . llan Nordlca to the concert world. The dead man had numbered among his as sociates Beerbobm Tree. Sir Henry Irv ing, Sarah Bernhardt and Sybil Sander son, and the walls of the Tilden man sion at Innlsvale are covered with auto graph photos of the world's moat fa mous celebrities, most of them Inscribed to ".My dear friend Bob Tilden." Mine. Nordlca's photo bears the Interesting In scription, "In memory of my first suc cess." Tilden was formally presented to Queen Victoria at the occasion of her golden Jublleo by Ambassador Phelps. Mr. Tilden at the time of his death was 47 years of age and unmarried. It is related that he was fnsat,v, to w.-d Sybil Punderson and tin; date for the nuptials had been formally annou hp d. The night before the wedding Miss S'in derson disappeared, leaving England. In after years the pair met unci be. nmo warm friends. Seven years ko Tlldn left New York in company with ('. H Goldert for years a leading man for Richard Mansfield. Tlio pair planned to tour the world. Tilden's health ave out1 and when California was reached it was decided to remain here In the hope of regaining the artist's strength. Innlsvale, a beautiful mansion ncmllT.e In the Mount Hamilton foothills and overlooking 100 miles of alled lani. was purchased. nnd then the t.vo friends have been living rvir sin . e. Tilden's health never permitted a re turn to the old life, and OMert w;is unwilling to desert his associate. Marmaduke Tilden. brother of the de ceased, cabled today from Pari In structing Qeldert to place the body In a vatjlt pending further orders. THIS YACHT COST TWO LIVES. HOT WEATHER HAS ITS COOLING EFFECT ON ALL KINDS OF BADNESS Psychologists long ago declared that hot weather develops latent criminal In stincts and that consequently there are more crimes In the summer month. Cut the monthly police report for July, Just completed, does not bear out this theory. The average numbr of arrests for nearly every month of the year is be tween 1.000 and 1 100 But in July. I voT. there were only S69 arrests made tv the Portland police, while the month just closed showed an even elner sheet there being only arrests tooked. Evidently what passes for hot weather In Portland does not stir the vicious Instincts in mankind Drunkenness as usual heads tne list up. No arrests were made for mnrdor, the only man to take a life being also a suicide. Heedless persons might take warning from the fact that two arrests w re made for expectorating n u;e 1 -walks of the city, while fie pirco-.s. aJl of the male gender, it is hotel, wci booked for uslnt; profane jage.

Very much of this work, such as tho mnk!ng of the pipe for the new Bull Run pipe line, the production of the Iron work for the new Madison street bridge and doubtless much other mate rails of lesser magnitude. In connection with the boulevard and park work that jnltfht be contracted for in other cities, uwinir to luck of proper equipment here, It is thought, should be retained in the loual field and can he If a proper sentiment is aroused to that c-nd. Will Equip If Necessary. It Is confidently stated by tne labor bodies that local firms will enuip for this work If there Is a k!iow of ge-ttlni; It, and that once so equipped the im provement w'll be permanent, nnd thus new enterprises will bo established for all time, and Portland, instead of giv ing to others ttie work or making Its water mains, bridges, hydrants, etc., will be in a position to bid -for such work from other places the same a.s her work la now being bid for by other places. It lg argued by the worklngmen that money thus taken from tho taxpayers and circulated in their own local field will return to them in n wa- that will more than offset the loss occasioned by any slight difference in cost were the money ail Hpent In a distant city. Some time ago the local iron trades council memorialized the city authori ties, asking that the contracts for fire hydrants be kept at home. It was shown at that time that previous orders for fire ny drams In the east had brought goods that were rejected because faulty, while hydrants made In Portland wet a entirely satisfactory and a vury supe rior article. The delay In having the defective nydrants corrected, together with the loss in suffering the money to be c!t cuiated in another city, it was cot. tended, more than offset the sllghllv higher cost of the "home-made h.j drants. Sleep Work Hero. It Is argued, also, that tho nrlnelpnl cities likely to bid for the Portland work are such as have unorganized an I hence unprotected labor, and that the lower wages forced upon tlm worklnp men by reason of that fact are largely the reason of whntever saving will lie experienced In tho way of lower prices on the work. In lino with thesp thoughts a com hiitteo of six, representing tho local bollermakers, structural Iron workers and the building trades alliance, met In Dre hulldlng on Friday night lust and resolved to set In motion a move ment for the creation of public senti ment In behalf of keeping this work as far as possible In Portland. The committee consists of Maurice J. Kelly, representing the bollermakers; J L. Ledwldge, business agent of the building trades alliance; William Noff ke, secretary of the same organization; A. W. LowmJIIcr, L. R. Depperman and W. H Little, representing variously tho Iron Workers mentioned. The committee concludes a lengthy and optimistic word picture of tho future Portland, which will result from the forthcoming snd other developments, with thesa words: "L,ocal firms should be given the pref erence, all things being equal, and bv mnklng a special effort the local firms will secure tho work. With best wishes for a greater and more prosperous Port land, we remain " Signed by the committee.
