Mala 364, Commandant Files Report With De partmentSays Discipline After the Accident Was Splendid Many Risked Lives to Prevent Disaster. NORFOLK, Va., July 22. The great rifles of Fortress Monroe that sent their charges hurtling across Hampton Roads are silent today. The uationnl standard flics over the fort ifications nt half-mast. The eleven dead soldiers, victims of tho back-fire of gun No. 1 of tho De Russey battery yestqrday, await burial nnd nu investigation is under way to ascertain the cause of the fa tal accident. Colonel Townsley, commandant of tho fort, today notified the families that the government would attend to the details nnd defray the expense of burial. The commandant, in a report to the war department, gives his reason for the accident nnd speaks in high praise of the bravery of tho men who survived the explosion, and although wounded, risked their lives to pre vent further disaster. The report follews: "The accident was due to a prema ture discharge of gun No. 1, De Rus sey bnttery. The brecchlock was blown rearward, the discharge oc curring before rotation began. Cap tain James Prentice was in com mand. Lieutenant P. II. Hawcs was in charge of the emplacement and Lieu tenant George L. Van Deusen wns timekeeper. "Discipline nfter the accident wns excellent. Sergeant Brinkley and Corporal Humphreys, slightly injured, immediately aided the others more seriously wounded. Lieutenant Van Deusen, with his leg broken and body burned by ignited gases, sup ported himself nt the platform rail ing and directed that the assistance offered him be given to the others lying helpless in the shattered em placement with burning wadding threatening to ignite the scattered powder charges. "Lieutenant Hawes. with bare hands, extinguished the burning ma terial that threatened to cause a second explosion." THREATENS SOURCES IRRIGATION SYSTEMS VICTORIA, B. C, July 22. Tele grams to Premier McBrlde of British Columbia from Government Agent Chipman at Kaslo report tho fire situation in the Slocan somewhat Im proved, it being hoped that tho fire is now under control. The menace to the safety of Kaslo, Tbreo Forks and Sandon, according to tho latest official reports, lias been considera bly lessened during the past 24 hours. Flro Warden Blttencourt reports a two-mile fire raging on Salt Spring Island, it being confined to a hill bare of other than Inferior timber. Tho fires at Shawnigan are being driven back, and up to this tlmo but one bridge in the vicinity of the lake has been destroyed. With respect to tho fire at Golden, by which the lumber ing companies' plant was destroyed, It is doubtful if this did not have its origin through some internal cause. The watchman of tho mill has not been heard of since tho fire, and it Is feared that he met death in the flames. From Pentlcton comes repoits of half a dozen big forest fires raging in the Okanogan district and, ac cording to M. Vallen, threaten to des troy the sources of supply of several irrigation systems. WORKING OUT NEW SYSTEM FOR TRACKING OF CRIMINALS PARIS, July 22. Dr. Bertillion, originator of the Bertillion system of detecting criminals, is now working out a plan which, when completed, he says, will muke the escape of crim inals doubly difficult. The famous Frenchman proposes hereafter to track criminals by their hnir. Ho is completing a collection of human hair which he says will bo so minutely graduntcd that it will be possible to muke identifications in this way when nil other means fail. Hnir for Dr. Bertillon's experi ments is being gathered from all parts of the world. He declares it will bo necessnry to collect specimens from every nation in the world, ns climate frequently governs tho color of the hair. Every item of information which you glean concerning tho city In which you live through your nd-anu-werlng trips will bo useful to you perhaps in unexpected ways.

The school of instruction in tho pneking of pears to bo conducted by tho Rogue River Valley Fruit & Produce association will be opened at Warehouse A of the association on Monday morning. A competent con1 of teachers, comprised of the most expert pack ers in the valley, will be in charge. Already 150 pupils have been reg istered for instruction. It is the in tention of the mnungvmeut to give ench pupil two days' instruction in the art of packing poars, which is expected to put the tyros in shape to make a cood pack. No one will be taught who does not intend to follow tho business of packing through the reason, as there are so many willing applicants .that the time of the instructors will be entirely taken up. The association would be glad to teach all, but are compelled to confine their efforts to those who expect to work. Those who have not yet registered should do so at once in order that provision may be made for them. The school for apple packing will commence after the close of the penr season. It is imperative that all fruit shipped by the association must be packed by a registered packer. Sorters and pickers will be needed by the association ns mhii as the season commences, and persons wishing this clnss of employment should register nt the association building so that they can be given work as fast as it develop. OREGON REGIMENT IS YET RESPECTED "We heard about your country way out In the Philllplnes and thought that there was a lot of hot air In your advertising, but now after look ing it over thoroughly, I do not be lelve it is all hot air" Is what L. B. Alexander, one of the District Attor neys in the government scrvlco In the Philllplno Islands has to say about the Rogue River valley. "Possibly," said a member of tho Second Oregon Regiment, " Wo did some advertising for Oregon when we were in the Philllplnes, as often, at least, as we could get close enough to the nmlgos to convince them of the way In which they should go. I don't believo after a lapse of all these yeares that a Filipino would take the name of that Oregon Regiment in vain." MISSION FlINITURE WORKS OUTGROWS ITS PRESENT SITE Only about two yenrs ago a young man came to Medford with the idea of starting a mission furniture works. A great ranny people dis couraged him, saying that Medford was too small. After looking over the field he decided to start a small shop. It was a success from the very first, and in less than u year after starting three additions have been added to the original shop. Reorganizes. Realizing that the present quarters were entirely too cramped and that more room nnd more machinery was required, Mr. Trobrige decided to reorganize. In looking around he found I. S. Tuttlo of Onkland, Cnl., u man of very wide experience in the mission furniture field. Mr. Tro brige nnd Mr. Tuttle have founded a company and propose to give to Medford a furniture works thnt will be a credit to a city twice the size of this. Orders New Machinery.

Hasklns for health, Gleason and Berber Arrive In Chlcaqo and Their Statements Cause a Fu rore In Sporting Circles Bcrocr Says Nervousness Whipped Jim. CHICAGO, HI., July 'J.Jaok Gleason and Sam Horgor, Jeffries' mmtttgor, arrived in Chicago today and gave out statements which have caused the belief that a return match between Johnson nnd Jeffries soon will be arranged. "There is no reason why Jim Jef fries shouldn't try to wipe out the stain of his defeat by Jack Johnson," said Merger. Jack Gleason, one of the promoters of the big Reno battle, also thinks there is a good chanco for n second fight. "I would not be surprised to see Jeffries re-enter the ring," ho said. Since Tex Ricknrd is now with Jef fries on a fishing trip and had a con ference with Gleason before ho went, and since Merger wns present nt tho first interview betwen Tex nnd Jef fries, Chicago fans believe thnt the optimistic statements of the fighter's manager nnd Gleason indicates that the fight will be staged, "if the public is willing." Ricknrd nlrendy has declared that lie wants to stngo another fight, nnd Jeffries has said that he is consid ering the matter. "In my opinion," Rerger continued, "Jeffries could whip Johnson any day in the week. He was so nerv ous thnt he wns practically a mental wreck on July 4. It is not likely that it would happen thnt he would bo in thnt condition again." "If Jeffries re-enters the ring for n return mutch with the negro, the result might be an entirely different story," said Gleason. "He wns not himself in the Reno fight."
