Russian Police Probe Sect That Wor ships Blood-Stained Idol. Seize Post and Attack Americans and Loyal Natives. St. Petersburg, June 16.—Dispatches from Perm, European Russia, say the local police have begun an investiga tion into the sect of the Crimson God, the members of which are accused of human sacrifices and other horrible practices. Repeated disappearances of persons in the district where the sect dwells throw suspicion on the organization, which worships a red wooden idol, col ored, it is said, with human blood. The police have located a secret grave containing the mutilated body of a man supposed to have been sacri ficed, and they expect to find others. The rural region, of which Perm is the center, is a breeding ground for many fanatical cults. It is a meeting place for the pagan tribes of Asia, as well as of persons who flee from Rus sia on account of religious persecution. Refugees of this type have lived for centuries in the dense forests of the district, and their beliefs have devel oped along the most fanatical lines. Manila, June 14. ’’ >n of the Second comp. ” - of :at instabula- ry, stationed at Dav.. he island of Mindanao, in the So1 them part of the Philippine at e 11 i pel ago, mutinied on the night of June 6 and attacked the com pany quarters, which they captured after wounding one of the native offi cers. After a tight on the following day, which lasted three hours, and in which an American named Libbey was killed and four others wounded, the mutineers took to the mountains upon the approach of a company of constab ulary stationed at Mapi, which hurried to the relief of the besieged Americans and loyal natives. With th receipt of the news of the mutiny today came also word that de tachments of the Twenty-third infantry have reached Davao and quickly suc ceeded in restoring order. Several col umns of troops were immediately dis patched in pursuit of the mutineers. I t is believed here that the mutiny was of purely local character, resulting from differences over food supplies or the care of the women of the families of the constabulary. It is thought to be confined to members of one company at Davao, aand the fact that a neigh boring company, also composed of na tives, hurried to the relief of the be sieged governor and the few Americans at the place is cited as proof of this. Acting Governor General Forbes is expected in Manila tonight, when a conference with General Duval, com manding the division of the Philippines, will be held. I t is expected that the determination will be reached at this conference vigorously to pursue the mutineers until the last one is captured. BIG BOILER EXPLODES. Four Lives Lost and Property Dam age Reaches 8 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 , Denver, June 16.—Four known to be dead, as many missing, three persons fatally hurt and six more or less seri ously injured, with property loss esti mated between $250,000 and $500,000, is the story of the boiler explosion that wrecked the principal power plant of the Denver Gas & Electric company, located at Sixth and Lawrence streets, shortly after 6 o’clock last evening. So terrific was the force of the ex plosion that the heavy boiler was thrown 800 feet into the air. It crashed through the roof of the plant, completely wrecking the generator and walls, cut off the lights and for more than two hours the city was in dark ness. Houses in the vicinity of the plant were rocked on their foundations. One of the first bodies taken out was that of Joseph Perri, aged 7, who was playing in the alley behind the plant at the time of the explosion, and was crushed under the debris. The prop erty damage is estimated at between $250,000 and $500,000. Typhoid Squad Busy. Omaha, June 16.—Major Gilchrist, Sergeant Fuller and Privates Schmidt, Ingram. Harrison, Goodman and Dow- ler and Acting Cook Daily, of the United States army, were this after noon inoculated with typhoid fever serum and will test the qualities of the vaccine. The men volunteered for the experiment. It is expected that they will be sick for 48 hours, with high fever and nausea. They will be kept quiet, and in ten days, if no alarming symptoms arise, will again be inocu lated. A third injection will be made after 20 days. Police Raid Pay Streak. Seattle, June 16.—In a raid at the Streets of Cairo, on the Pay Streak at the A.-Y.-P. last night, exposition guards under Chief Wappenstein, seized seven cases of beer and several bottles of whisky that were hidden in the Oriental village. The raid was made upon information that liquor was being sold at the village. The liquor was seized and a report made to the exposition management. The raid was in line with the strict policy of the exposition in enforcing the law which prohibits the sale of liquor within two miles of the state university. Alaska Teacher Accused. Seattle, June 16.--A special cable to the Post-Intelligencer from Valdez, Alaska, says that a complaint has been filed with the United States commis sioner at Copper Center against Frank Russell, government teacher there. Several serious charges are included in the complaint, among them being em bezzlement, defrauding the natives, inhumanity to the natives and com plicity to defraud the government. Russell is now on board a steamer en route to Seattle. The complaint is in the hands of the district attorney. Tax Unearned Increase. Berlin, June 16.—The reiehstag re assembled today. Among the official communications laid before the house was one from the government concern ing the proposal to tax the unearned increasement in real estate values. The government has decided that it is inexpedient to do this for imperial pur poses, inasmuch as there are seemingly unsurmountable difficulties in the way of an equitable adjustment of the taxes on city and county values, but it ap proves as just the taxing of the un earned increasement for local purposes. Plan Buffalo Roundup. Butte, June 16.—One of the most unique roundups in the history of the West will start tomorrow at Ronan, on the Flathhead Indian reservation, in Western Montana, when the Pablo herd of buffaloes will be corralled and driven to the stockade at Ravilla.

FARMERS TO STORE C A N GRAIN Will Erect Own Co-Operative Ware houses in Umatilla County. Pendleton—Believing they have not always been given a square deal by the grain warehouse companies operating in this county, a group of farmers have formed a corporation and will erect and operate a string of four warehouses. These will be located at Helix, Vanscycle, Stanton and Ring, all stations on the branch line of the Northern Pacific. The corporation was formed with a capital stock of $20,000. The ware houses will be co-operative, all the in corporators being members of the Helix branch of the Farmers’ Educa tional & Co-operative Union of Amer ica. According to present plans, the warehouses will be erected in time to handle the present saeson’s grain crop. If these prove successful, other co-op erative warehouses will be erected in the county. Milton—Overreaching by all odds the e<T' rts of any previous occasion, Milton’s third annual strawberry festi val and horse show last week was pro nounced by the 6,000 people who at tended to hhve been the most success ful event of its kind ever given in the Walla Walla valley. The streets of Milton were thronged with people from Walla Walla, Pendleton, Dayton, Pres cott, Weston, Athena and the surround ing country. Owing to a crippled ser vice on the interurban line between Milton and Freewater hundreds of those who intended to come from the Garden City were unable to do so. The half crate of strawberries which won first prize was turned over to L. E. Meacham, publicity manager of the Walla Walla Commercial club. These berries were grown by Clarence O’Bert, residing five miles above Mil- ton, and were later served to the Chi cago business men on their visit to thè Garden City. The horse show and stock parade in the afternoon was the most successful occasion of a similar nature ever held in Milton. From an advertising standpoint the festivities have been of the first water. Many prospective home seekers were present. Commercial Club Will Help Road. Ontario- - There is every prospect that the Ontario-Emmett railway, planned four years ago, but abandoned at the time of the panic, will be built within the coming year. Letters have been received by the Commercial club here stating that the promoters inte rested in the road have started a move ment to revive the undertaking, and asking the co-operation of Ontario’s people to assure success to the work. A special meeting of the Commercial club was held and it decided unani mously in favor of doing anything rea sonable and possible to assist in the building of the road. Klamath Welcomes Visitors. Klamath Falls—With 7,000 visitors in the city, Klamath Falls celebrated “ Railroad Day,” in token of the com pletion of the new railroad from Weed, which will open up this section of the state to full communication with the rest of the world. Special trains brought visitors from Portland and from California towns, even as far as Sacramento. From the country sur rounding this city came hundreds on horseback, by wagon, carriage or any other conveyance that would serve.
