AFTER THE
EQUITABLE
GRAFT AND MISMANAGEMENT
The State ef New York Bringa Suit
Agalnat the Dlreetora ef
the Equitable.
New York, July 31. An action
was instituted today by States At
toraey-General Julius Mayer in the
Supreme Court of New York coun
ty, in the name of the people of the
State of New York, against the
Equitable Life Assurance Society,
its officers, directors and members
of the executive and finance com
mittees, all of whom are named in
the comnlaint.
A week ago, before the papers
were completed, Edward II. Harri
man, on the eve ot bis departure for
Japan, accepted service of the sum
mons in the proposed action, and
today many of the other defend
ants, including James II. Hyde,
were served through their private
counsel. The defendants are allow
ed 20 days from the time of service
to file their answers.
The complaint contains 21 sec
tions and covers 33 pages of type
written matter; refers to the Frick
committee report and the investiga
tion made by State Insurance- Su
perintendent Hendricks; it is based
on information and belief and the
Attorney-General in his prayer to
the court says that the action was
brought in behalf of the people of
the State of New York in the pub
lic interests and pursuant to the pro
visions of the law.
The complaint charges that the
individual defendants, disregarding
their duty to the society of which
they were directors, "negligently,
improperly and improvidently jr-
formed such duties and have habi
tually and continuously done, or
suffered to be done, wrongful, ille
gal and improper acts, whereof the
defendant society has suffered great
loss and damage.
The individual deiendants are
further charged with having "ac
quired to themselves, or caused or
permitted to be transferred to oth
ers, in violation oi their duties,
money, property and the value of
property belonging to the defendant
society.'
Killed by Lightening.
During a thunderstorm of terrific
intensity which passed over New
York Sunday afternoon five persons
were struck by lightning and in
stantly killed and nine were serious
ly injured at the Parkway Baths,
Coney Island. At the rame time
one man was killed and three oth
ers prostrated at Gravesend Beach.
The intense heat of the morning
attracted a great multitude to the
shore resorts, and late in the after
noon the storm blew up from the
westward, the park and beach was
thronged with bathers and specta
tors. The rain descended in tor
rents and hundreds of men, women
and children sought shelter under
the big bathhouse, which is elevat
ed above the sand on piles.
The lightening was incesscnt
and terrific thunderclaps shook the
bathhouse, to the terror ot the
crowd huddled together beneath it.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock a
bolt struck the flagstaff and ground
ed in the very thickest of the crowd.
Nearly fifty persons were prostrated
and the crowd rushed out into the
storm. Those who had remained
in the water were also panic strick
en and ran in all directions, not
daring to enter the bathhouse,
which appeared to be on fire.
About the same time Henry Ran
swciler was struck and killed while
sheltering under a tree at Grave
send Beach, and his son William,
with John Apple and Daniel McCau
ley, were rendered unconscious.
Lightning struck at various
points in the city. A store in Flus
ing avenue, Brooklyn, was burned,
and a car in Sixth avenue, Man
hattan, was set on fire, but the oc
cupants escaped unhurt.
The electric light and the tele
phone wires in Belle vue Hospital
were struck several times, extin
guishing all lights and causing
much alarm among the patients.
Strawberries Pay Best.
Two acres of strawberries on A.
W. Boorman's ten-acre farm two
miles southwest ot town produced
455 crates of berries, which Mr.
Boot man says will average him
$1.54. Here is an income ot $700
from two acres. Mr. Boorman
is convinced berries are the best
paying crop he can produce on his
land.
Mr. Boorman plowed up part of
his berry plantation last summer
and sowed the land to clover. He
does not regret having done so he
says, as he believes he took belter
care of the balance of the patch at
less expense. He raised a good
deal of clover, and if the cream
route is established will buy two or
three cows.
Having received his returns on
his berry crop, Mr. Boorman and
family left Saturday morning for a
trip to the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion at Portland. Before returning
they will visit with Mr. Boorman's
daughter, Mrs. Hanley, at Hills
boro. Hood River Glasier.
Mr. Property Owner.
On your way horn from work to
night just stop along some of the
good property you own and look at
those low-hanging branches that
trouble people as they pass on the
sidswalk, then go over and borrow
your neighbor's saw. Wait until
the next morning, then get up
early and go at them.
You need not return the saw, for
your neighbor will be so happy he
will come and get it himself, or
make you a present of it.
The next night repeat this opera
tion, only take a look at the side
walk. If you fail to see those nail
heads sticking up an inch yon need
glasses. But first get a hammer
and go at the nails. Then the
world will rise up and call you
blessed. Milton Eagle.
Asleep Thirty-One Years.
Madrid, July 22. Leonora Ron-
aldo, the wile of a farm hand at
Ballacienso, near Burgos, has just
awakened from a trance which has
lasted thirty-one years. This Span
ish feminine Rip Van Winkle has
been under the close observation of
medical experts during the whole
of that time, and by their instruc
tions liquid food was regularly ad
ministered by a tube in the mouth
of the -sleeping woman. At times
it was believed that the woman was
waking, and various means were
employed to restore her to con
sciousness, but they failed. She
has now regained her senses but
cannot be persuaded that she has
slept for years. A curious feature
of the case is that she remembers
the incidents ot her girlhood up to
the time she tell into the trance.
Her body is fairly well nourished,
but her hair has turned white. On
being shown a mirror the woman
cried out with horror, and declared
that the image it reflected was not
her own.
Goat Raising Profitable.
J. II. smith, who owns 320 acrts
near Freese, Idaho, has fully dem
onstrated the fact that Angora goat
raising is not only a source oi reve
nue, but affords a most valuable
means of cleaning land. One year
ago last spring he brought from Kal
ispel to his fine tange 196 head of
Angoras, paying $6 for the ewes and
$10 for the bucks. It does not re
quire much attention to care for
the flock, as they thrive well upon
young trees and noxious weeds,
thus aiding materially in cleanig
the land. "During last winter I
fed to my 196 goats not to exceed
1 2 tons of hay, and yet they were
in the best of condition," said Mr.
Smith. This spring his flock had
increased to 360, nearly 100 per
cent. The clip, which has just
been taken off, weighed 9S0 pounds,
five pounds to the fleece. Mr.
Smith is now delivering this on
board the cars at Palouse, Wash.,
for Minneapolis, at 50 cents per
pound. Milton bagle.

THE YELLOW PERIL
GAINING GROUND
TOTAL CASES, 302; DEATHS, 62
Fruit Trade Abaae'ene- Law En
acted to Exterminate Meaquiteea
Perfect Inspection.
New Orleans, July 31. By the
end of the present week the auth
orities in charge ot the tever situa
tion believe they will be in such
thorough touch with conditions that
they will be able to speak with au
thority as to their ability to control
and eradicate the disease in .advance
of the coming of the frost. Daily
the system of inspection and report
is becoming more perfect and by
that time not only will it be possi
ble to tell precisely the extent of
the fever, but a period will have ar
rived when no more new cases trace
able to the original infection may
be expected.
Three deaths occurred in the
emergency hospital today, the num
ber of patients in which has largely
been increased. All cases found
with no relatives to care for them
are promptly removed to the insti
tution, where the most elaborate
modern arrangements have been
made for their treatment.
' Up to July 31, there have been
302 cases; total number of deaths
from disease, 62. The fatal cases
are principally among Italians.
It is generally believed here that,
when the present sickness passes,
New Orleans will not seek to re
gain the fruit trade which has now
been diverted to Mobile unless the
fruit companies are willing to sub
mit to regulations which will make
impossible the introduction of fever.
It is almost universally the opinion
that, important as this trade has be
come, it is not sufficiently profitable
for the city to run the - risk of a re
currence of the present experience.
The mosquito ordinance will be
passed at the meeting of the coun
cil tomorrow. It will require land
lords to screen cisterns. Fine or
imprisonment is the penalty for
failure to obey the ordinance.
Very lew houses in the city are
without cisterns and 40,000 or 50,-
000 of them will be required to be
screened. The city is now spend
ing some $16,000,000 on a water
and sewerage system, which, when
completed, will require the abandon
ment of all cisterns. It will, how
ever, be two or three years betore
this system is finished.
Display Should Be Better.
The various counties undertook
a great task when they bespoke so
much space in the agricultural
building. Nobly have many of
them done. But all will bear re
minding that exhibits need enlarg
ing and supplying just as long as
the fair is kept open. With some
ot the counties it looks as if their
bolt had been shot by the day the
doors were opened. Others, pos
sibly richer, or more accessible, not
only have not lost interest, but
prove this by their activity.
If some of the counties, or rather
the representative men of the coun
ties, could hear the passing com
ments of the visitors there would be
a considerable wakening. Many
excuses were made tor the absence
of fruit and vegetables in that pre
parations ahead were not practica
ble. But nature is taking care of
us in this early season and ripening
weather. It is a sure thing that
some of the counties are already se-
curieg great returns for their out
lay. But on the other hand some
are losing rather than making by
inevitable comparisons. We have
some pages of notes of the exhibits
as thev are in evidence. Some of
them might hurt, so perhaps it is
best not to publish them today in
the hope of improvement in the
near future.

Longfellow's Birth-place.
For perhaps the first time in Am
erican history, a state has honored
a native poet by building a replica
of bis birthplace several thousand
miles from the original. This has
been accomplished at the Lewis
and Clark exposition by the state
of Maine which has for its building
a structure that is an exact repro
duction of the place where Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow was born.
The building has attracted a great
deal of attention, especially from
western people, most of whom have
never visited Portland Me , to see
for themselves the original.
The house in which Longfellow
was born was, at the time, the fin
est in Portland, Maine. It was the
home of Samuel Stephenson, a
brother-in-law of Hon. Stephen
Longfellow, the poet's father.
Longfellow's birthplace is a three-
story frame building, constructed
after the peculiar style of architec
ture characteristic of the period.
It is severely rectangular in shape,
with a hip roof, and the only deco
ration is a small cornice over the
doorway which is in the center oi
the front wall. The house is
painted white, and a white picket
fence encloses a small grass plot at
the left of the entrance. The room
in which the poet was born is the
front chamber, in the secoud story,
at the right. On entering the
building, one climbs several steps,
and is admitted to a hall, from
which stairs lead to the floors
above. The living rooms are large
and comfortable, and open off to
the right and left from the central
hall. The birth room has been
fitted up in colonial style, with
some rare old furniture, notable
among which is the bookcase that
was formerly owned and used by
the poet.
The location which the reproduc
tion of Longfellow's birth-place en
joys at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition is much more desirable than
that of the original in Portland,
Me. A century ago, it overlooked
the placid waters of Casco Bay, and
the view embraced the 365 islands
which make the harbor one of rare
national beauty. Now. however,
wholesale houses and warehouses
occupy the water-front, and the sur
roundings are anything but roman
tic. At the exposition the reproduc
tion occupies a plot of ground in
the rear of the Idaho and Illinois
state buildings, and the vista from
the doorway includes a view of the
main exposition picture, and takes
in Guild's lake, smiling and dotted
with pleasure craft, and the foot
hills of the Cascade mountains be
yond it. A green lawn surrounds
the building.
On the walls of two of the rooms
in the Longfellow home at the ex
position, the entire poems "Hiawa
tha" and "Evangeline" are posted
artistically on cards.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. I. All of
the telegraph operations ot the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific systems were ordered out to
night at 11 o'clock by President
Perham, of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers. According to the
officials or Telegraphers' Union, be
tween 1900 and 2000 men will be
affected by the order. Mr. Perham
declares that by 1 2 o'clock tomor
row 95 per cent of the operators
will be out.
The railway officials maintain
that they will be able to fill the
places of most of the men, and they
will suffer nothing more than a
temporary inconvenience by the
move.
ACCEPT SCALE OK QUIT WORK.
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 1. Nego
tiations which have been pending
between the Order of Railway.
Telegraphers and the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads
for some time came to a sudden eud
today, when General Manager
Horn, of the Northern Pacific, no
tified the telegraphers of that sys
tem that the company's proposition
as to the rate of wages it would pay
was final, and they could accept it
or leave the service.
The Great Northern officials took
practically the same stand toward
their employes last night, thus
throwing confusion into the ranks
of the telegraphers, who hardly ex
pected such a move. The only
chance of an adjustment ot the trou
ble rests with President Hill, who
is in New York and to whom Presi
dent Perham, of the Railway Tele
graphers, appealed in a telegram
last night.
Just how many men have refused
to consider the terms offered by the
roads is uncertain. Until 3:30 this
afternoon no definite figures had
been received at the headquarters
of either railroad. The orders af
fect about 750 operators and agents
on the Great Northern, and about
1 200 on the Northern Pacific.
No Ruat.
Telegrams from station agents
over 1 500 to 2000 miles of railroad
in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska
and sonthern Minnesota, say "no
rust." These agents were instruct
ed by railroad officials to make
careful inquiry concerning the re
ported black rust in wheat. The
replies are unanimous that there is
none of this destructive parasite.
The only damage reported Is to po
tatoes which, it is said, will not
equal laLt year's yield in Nebraska,
South Dakota and Minnesota by 25
per cent.

The old Reliable Corner
The Coster Haaaacre at the Fair.
The Custer massacre, which
marks the greatest Indian outrage
of receut times, will be reproduced
with wonderful fidelity to detail at
the Lewis and Clark exposition on
Thursday, August 10, when Uma
tilla Iudians and soldiers of the
Oregon National guard and the
Tenth United States intantry will
lake part. The massacre promises
to prove the most interesting and
instructive of the big free outdoor
attractions which have been provid
ed by the exposition management
for the patrons of the western
world's fair.
It was twenty-nine years ago, on
June 25, 1875, that Custer and his
troopers rode into the death trap on
the Little Big Horn river. Shortly
after crossing the rivet, hundreds
of Sioux attacked the little band,
which resisted heroically, making a
last stand in a hand-to-hand con
test in which every trooper was
killed. The only survivor of the
dreadful massacre was a trumpeter
whom Custer had sent, early in the
fray, to Major Reno for re-inforce-ments.
The reproduction of the massacre
at the Lewis and Clark exposition
will have for its location a plot of
ground on Guild's lake, near the
river entrance to the fair. The lay
of the ground at this place is simi
lar to the geography of the Little
Big Horn, and this circumstance
will add much to the interest ol the
bloodless massacre. Indians from
the Umatilla reservation, garbed in
the war clothes of the plains, will
form the attacking party, and the
attack will be maintained by them
until the last of the soldiers repre
senting Custar's band have fallen.
Popular and Picturesque.
The only thing necessary to make
the Denver and Rio Grande the
most popular, as it has ever been
known the most pleasant and most
picturesque way to cross the conti
nent, has come about. This is the
establishment of through sleeping
car service.
In connection with the O. R. &
N., a through Pullman Standard
Sleeper is now run from Portland
to Denver, leaving Portland at 8:15
p. m., arriving at Salt Lake at 8:40
a. m., the second morning, leaving
Salt Lake at 3:50 p. m., and arriv
ing at Denver 4:20 p. m., the fol
lowing day. This schedule gives
passengers seven hour-stop over In
Salt Lake, affording an opportunity
to visit the Mormou Capital as well
as a day light ride through the
grandest scenery in the world.
For reservations in this car and
for illustrated booklets picturing
the scenery contiguous to the Den
ver & Rio Grande, proving it to be
the "Science Line of the World,"
write to W. C. McBride, General
Agent, 124 Third street, Portland.
