OFFERED HUMAN SACRIFICE.
FILIPINO TROOPS M U TIN Y.
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.
The animals will be loaded on specially
constructed cars, a number of the fin

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.
