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.
Will Open Monday With Several
Teachers and Ono Hundred and
Fifty Registered Pupils Want
Sorters and Pickers.
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.
New machinery has been ordered
and will arrive in timo to go into
the large, new building, plans for
which are now being prepared.
Sample Rooms.
The new building will contain large
sample rooms, showing complete
line of goods made by this company,
many of which will he very odd and
exceptionally attractive and desir
able. House Cabinets.
This firm will be prepared to do all
kinds of house cabinet work in a
first-claKH mnnner nnd giving a much
more artistic effect.
Many people will be glad to learn
of this addition to Medford 'h indus
tries and nn increase in the payroll.

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."

marked tho Hon. John Darrott, direc
tor of tho bureau of American repub

For tho benefit of many persons
