FIVE WORKMEN KILLED.
Bursting Ammonia Pipe Fills Packing
Plant With Deadly Fumes.
Chicago, May 24. Five workmen
were killed and several others ser
iously injured this afternoon when
an ammonia pipe exploded in the
beef-killing department of Armour &
Co.s plant at the stockyards. The
building was full of workmen at the
time, and the deadly fumes, escaping
from under high pressure, pene
trated through every department of
the building in such a short time
that 20 of the men were overcome
before they could make their escape
to the fresh air. All but five of these
men were dragged from the place by
their companions in such a serious
condition that it was necessary to
take them to a nearby hospital.
An Ineffectual effort to search for
dead In the interior of the building
was made by employes wearing safe
ty masks, but they were driven back
by the fumes, and it was not until
six hours after the explosion that the
first body, that of an unidentified
man, burned beyond recognition, was
taken from the fourth floor. A few
minutes later four other bodies were
found, all of them having been
burned in a horrible manner.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
BERKY SEASON OPENS.
Hood River Valley Thronged With
Pickers of Many Kinds.
Hood River For the first time In
two years Hood River will have n
'characteristic strawberry season,
'with all its attendant rush and ex
citement. For two seasons the liver
has not been high enough for boats
to land at the town and dellover their
merry cargoes of berry pickers from
both up and down the river. This
year thero Is high water. Tho boats
began landing at the town today, and
from now on until the season ends,
Indians, school teachers, residents of
Portland and towns In the Willam
ette Valley and along the Columbia
River will pour into Hood River for
the berry season. Hood River mer
chants always expect n brisk busi
ness during the berry season. In
some years more money Is realized
from strawberries than apples, and
the returns being quicker, It gets to
circulation nt once. Pickers who are
adept and Industrious earn from $2
to $3 per day, and some as high as
$3.50. A ride through the valley
during the season shows strawberry
fields everywhere dotted with pick
ers In a variety of picturesque garbs,
from girls In blue overalls to the
stately Indian in his flaming red
blanket or head dress.
Long Detour to Reach Albany.
Albany Though living within 15
miles of "Albany, residents of the Santi
am country are now forced to travel
twice that far to reach this city. Un
safe and damaged bridges are the cause.
Wnen the Sanderson bridge whs par
tially washed out in the Santinm floods
last winter, residents of the "Forks of
the Santiam," as that country is local
ly termed, could reach the county scat
via Jefferson. lUit new that the big
wagon bridge at Jefferson has been
closed to traffic by order of the courts
of Linn and Marion counties, the near
est open bridge across the Santiam is
at Lebanon. This makes the distance
to Albany about 30 miles.
S. P. Refuses to Sell Land.
Eugene Attorney A. C. Wood
cock, who was sent to San Francisco
to tender the money put up by about
50 Eugene people for the purpose of
buying timber lands in the Southern
Pacific Company's land grant, has
returned from the Bay City. He says
that when he tendered the money lt
was promptly refused and that the
officials in the office became angry
and little short of ordered him out.
The matter will now be taken into
the courts and those who have put
their money into the pool have hopes
of a decision soon to force the com
pany to Bell.
Malheur Irrigation Project.
Vale The chief engineer for the
Christian Co-Operative Federation
arrived In Vale Sunday from Port
land, and In connection with Colonel
R. G. Wheeler, their resident attor
ney here, left for Willow Creek
where they have purchased reservoir
sites for their irrigation project in
that valley. The chief engineer
stated there would bo a crew of sur
veyors to arrive here soon, and that
they would commence work on that
project at once. The Irrigation of
this valley means the reclamation of
something like 150,000 acres of val
uable land.
Federal Inspectors Will Dip Sheep.
Eugene The squabble over the en
forcement of the new law, which re
quires the dipping of all sheep every
year, has been practically fettled with
the Lane county farmers, who declared
that they will not allow an inspector to
dip their theep. E. N. Hutchinson, of
the United States bureau of animal in
dustry, was heie and decided that only
those flocks should be dipped that are
diseased and that the others would be
left alone. Several Federal inspectors
will do the work.
Bill Goes Up to Voters.
Salem Chief Clerk Riser, of the
secretary of state's office, has finished
checking the referendum petitions on
the Multnomah county sheriff's bill
and finds there are 4,972 valid signa
tures. There were 6,000 on the peti
tion and 4,666 are necessary. The bill
therefore will not become a law until
it lias been voted upon by the people
or until the courts have found some de
fect in the petition not found by the
secretary's office.
Long Ride Soon to Start.
Silverton Homer Davenport, of
Morris Plains, N. J., says that the
race to have taken place from this
city to New York between one of his
Arabian horses and a Kentucky sad
dle horse has been postponed pend
ing the arrival of the Kentucky
horse. This endurance trip Is to be
made under the direction of the
United States War Department and
it Is understood that the starting
point will be from Vancouver,
Wash., Instead of Silverton.
Astoria Will Aid Railway.
Astoria The Chamber of Com
merce at Its meeting this evening In
structed Its committee to assist in se
curing rights of way for the Portland-Oregon
& Sea CoaBt Railway
Company from Clatsop City toward
the Nehalem Valley. The chamber
also adopted a resolution condemn
ing dance halls.

Astoria The special committee
of the Chamber of Commerce ap
pointed to consider the advisability
of Clatsop County making an exhibit
at the coming state fair, has pre

STATE HAS LAND TO SELL.
Kelliher Tracts to Ue Put on Market
Soon.
Salem Tho State l.ifnd Hoard has
decided to stand by Its act cancelling
state land certificates held by A. T.
Kelllher, covering some 30,000 acres
and next week, after the new law
goes Into effect, tho board will repay
to Kelllher tho portion of tho pur
chase price already paid, and then
'advertise the lands for sale to high
est bidders in tracts of not to cxeevd
320 acres.
I Kelllher was before the hoard with
'n rcqticHt that deeds bo granted to
assigned of certain certificates
which he claimed were granted upon
genuine applications. Tho request
was denied. He also requested the
privilege of buying for members of
his faintly some 1.300 acres of land
iif 1? fit) nn nrre. In conslderat Ion of
Which he would give the board the
'cruising of his 30.000 acres of enn
! celled lands, but this was nlso re
fused.
The board took n strong "stand
pat" attitude, and refused to com
promise or make any agreements,
but will put all cancelled lands up
for salo on equal terms to all. As
some of Ktillher's lands are sup
posed to be quite valuable, there Is
likely to be some scrambling for de
sirable tracts when they are offered
for sale, which will probably be early
next mouth.
Still Applying for S. P. Lands.
Eugene The refusal of the South
ern Pacific to accept money offered
by Lane County people for railroad
lands, has not affected tho Interest
In the movement here nor caused any
'considerable abatement In the line of
; applicants for timber lands at $2.50
per ncre. In tho neighborhood of
'500 applications have bijen mad-f
from this county and the Interest lu
the outlying districts Is as great m.
'as lt was In the towns a tew days
ago.
Crushed Rock for Eugene Streets.
Eugene A carload of machinery
has arrived here for crushing rock to
bo used In the paving of Willamette
street, and It Is thought paving will
begin at once. The only obstacle In
tho way of pushing tho work Is the
arrival of rails for the Willamette
Valley Company, and they are looked
for dally. Tho machinery will be
taken at once to the rock supply
back of Skinner's Butte.

PERISH IN SIGHT OF RESCUE.
Four Men Meet Awful Death on Burn
ing Lake Fteamer
Grand llaveu. Mich., May ' 22. -Five
lives were loHt and 75 people
had a peillous escape from death
when the steamer Naomi, of the
Crosby Transportation Company,
burned early today In tho middle of
Lake Michigan, while on her night
trip from here to Milwaukee. Four
of the victims were coal passers, pen
ned down In tho forecastel by the
flames, where many of the rescued
passengers from tli decks of the
freighter Kerr and the steamer Kan
sas saw them at the portholes, vain
ly Imploring for help.
J. M. Rhodes, a passenger from
Detroit, was the fifth victim. He
was terribly burned In his berth and
died soon after reaching tho hospi
tal at Grand Rapids.
Fifty passengers and nil of Iho
crew except four coal passers were
taken off lu small boats by the steam
er Stratford and the Kansas, which
was en route from Milwaukee to
Grand Haven. The loss to tho Na
omi, which was In coinnniand of Cap
tain Traill. Is estimated at $225,000.
The fire started lu the vicinity of
tho kitchen, between decks, and
spread so rapidly that the whole ship
was n seething furunce before tho
crew could get tho flro apparatus
working. Flro swept the whole
length of the ship and tln upper
works burned like tinder. It Is con
sidered miraculous that the passen
gers nil but one escaped. Many of
them were taken off In their night
clothes, while scarcely any one was
more than partly clad.
Captain Thomas Traill wn tho
last man to leave the steamer alive,
anil his clothing was almost burned
off him.
Sol Waterman, of New York, said:
"Never will 1 forget the picture of
those poor fellows In the forecastle
who wore burned. The ship was a
mass of flames. Suddenly the four
men who had been asleep In the fore
castle thrust their heads from the
portholes and called for help. The
captain of tho freight steamer or
dered n lifeboat to go to their aid.
The boat went, but the nu n were un
able to squeeze their bodies through
the portholes. We could hear them
calling pltlfnllly for help and see
them through the flames, but the
lifeboat crew ratno back and report
ed It could not reach them. The cap
tain ordered the boat to return and
get the names of the men. Then we
could hear the questions and an
swers as the men told their names
and residences. Finally one man
called out, "Good bye; I'm gone,"
and fell back into the Dames. "

BIG CHIEFS INDICTED
President ol United Railroads to
Grand Jury Net.
MONET TRACED DOWN THE LINE
Huge Sums Required for Half Many
More Indictments In Reserve
to Avoid Detects.
San Francisco, May 2 5 "Tho
people of San Francliico want ails,
not words. I will only Hiiy that wo
Will make good wherever we license"
was the brief comment of William J.
Iliirns hist night, and It wan tho
only statement made for publication
by the prosecution after It had ac
complished what half of III" iitl.eli
nhlp of San Francisco declared to bo
impossible--tho Indictment of ono
of the most powerful iniignateii
known to Wall street In the person
of Patrick Calhoun.
The prosecution bus traced th
$200,000 with which tho United
Railroads secured Its franchise from
Wall street to the San Fraliiict
Mint Immediately after th big flro
In April, lyof,. when the Mint was
used for banking purposes. Thero
tho money remained for a few days,
when It was drawn out piecemeal In
lots of $r.o,ooo, converted Into cur
rency and paid over to uih i una ny
Mm
passed on to the Mayor ami
Supervisors. The evidence U
the
strengthened by bits of conversation,
record of conferences nt the oftico
of Tiny I.. Ford, attorney for tho
United Railroads. The fact that t bn
Mayor received $rii.O00 for signing
tho ordinance grunting the overhead
trolley permit was learned through
llii- test lintiuy of Km f.
Hour teen Indict men! s were re
turned charging Calhoun, Mtillally.
Ford. Abbott, Schmlta an.l Rucf
Jointly wHh the bribery of th Sup
ervisor. Seventeen Supervisors wero
bribed, so It may therefore be to-cn
that three of the Indictment wero
held In reserve. This Is th Honey
method. Tho 14 Indictment will
act as a sort of advance guard to
draw the fire of the defense.
If the defense NllCCeed in shooting;
any hole In them, the three In re
serve will be altered to make them
Impregnable, taking advantage of
the facts brought out.
Judge Coffey announced, after
running his eye over th Indictment
that he would fix ball In the sum of
$10,000 on each of the H9 counts,
lie gave the accused until II o'clock
today to furnish bonds and remarked
that he would accept In lieu thereof
cash ball of $.1000 on each count.
Assurance was given that pending
the arrangement of ball no arrest h,
will be made by the prosecution, so
the nine men accused of th giving;
or taking of bribe are at liberty on
their own rccoguUanco until 11
o'clock today.
