At no timo was Mill Valley seriously threatened, the bruBh fires never hav ing approached closer than three-quarters of a mile. The damage to the town from Bonsational reports sent out is de clared to be far more serious than any resulting from the fire. Two thousand dollars it is estimated, is a liberal calculation of the actual loss, Most of tho loss mfalls on the Mount Tamalpais and Muiriwoods scenic rail way. The greatest loss was occasioned by flooding Tamalpais Inn, at the sum mit of the mountain, as a measure of precaution, when fire threatened. The expenses of maintaining the thousands of troops and volunteer firefighters will run into manv thousands of dollars.

Folsom, Cal., July 11, Showing abso lutely no signs of mental anguish, Ja cob Oppenheimer, the "human tiger," of Folsom, walked calmly to the gal lows Uis morning, after making a long address to a dozen or more newspaper men, hi which he moralized upon capi tal punishment. Oppenheimer marched unassisted to the scaffold, whore hi? arms were pinioned, as he calmly 1mA his place upon the trap. Glancing over the crowd of two score witnesses, assembled in the prison yard, he deliberately surveyed his feet, to see if they were placed within the dead line, on the trap. He smiled and nodded his head just biore tho death cap was adjusted. It took but a second to slip the noose over his head, and he was shot into eternity. The death trap was sprung at 10:33. Twelve minutes later Oppenheimer was pronounced dead by Dr. Glading. The fall was seven feet. Raps Capital Punishment. Here is the .statement made by Op penheimer, just before be started to walk to the gallows: "Calmly leaving myself out of the question, I want to say that capital punishment is a relic of the barbaric age. It ought not to be tolerated. I hope that in every country the time will soon come when it will be abolish ed. "In Kngland they used to hang men and women for stealing.

Has Rope Taken Off While He Makes 'Final Speech and Hopes Hanging ' WiU Be Last , EXITED 1'IIESS LEASED WIUE. San Quentin, Cal., July 11. Frauk Bauerwaerts was hanged in the prison yard here at 10 o'clock today for the murder of two women, Harriett Guyot and .Miss Julia Francois, on a mining claim in Riverside county. The crime was committed in March, 1911. Bauerwaerts was pronounced dead at 10:15. He went to his death courage ously, and declaring his innocence. After the rope had been placed about Bauwerwaerts' neck on the scaffold, tho doomed man asked Warden Hoyle for permission to speak. This being Hi Tinted, the rope was taken off, and Bauwerwaerts said: "I want to thank Warden Hoyle for all his consideration to me while I have been here. An innocent man is about to be hanged. I call upon M. D. C. I'utnam, who is guilty of this crime, to come forward and clear me." Putnam was not present. He is an old prospector, upon whom Bauwer waerts tried to shift the blame for the death of the two women. Bauwer waerts' last words wore: "I hope this wiU he the last hanging in California."

Continued on Pft FIt.) "It would be a fiuo thing to have some person, man or woman, to act as an officer of the law in the Oregon Electric depot here, but why don't the pooplo of Salem insist that the railroad company bear the expense of installing such an officer!" This was the statement made today by Grant Corby, one of Salem's leading attorneys, when asked concerning the agitation to have appointed a police matron to be stationed in the waiting room at the intersection of State and High streets. "1 readily agree with those who de sire that a policeman or police matron shall be placed on duty in the Oregon Electric depot; it would be a great ac commodation to the traveling public, hut I do not believe that the Salem taxpayers should be compelled to sup port such an office," he continued. "I do not know of a city of any size in the country which does not have either an officer of the law or a guardian to take care of passengers and give out gener al information in the railroad stations, but the railroad companies are respon- ible for the officers and Informants and the expense is covered by the trans portation people. If the Oregon Elec tric company will only ask, it can se cure police powers for any reliable per son it desires to act as caretaker of the local station, and I do not believe it fnir or just that the Salem public should pay the salary of a person to act in the 'interest of tho railroad company and its patrons." Cannot Bear Expense. According to C, E. Albin, the locnl agent for the Oregon Electric company, the business now transacted by tho cor poration is not sufficient to warrant the hiring of a special ngent to act as either police officer or information bu reau at the Salem passenger station. He stated this morning that the super intendent of the Oregon Electric has given the question a thorough investi gation, but finds that he cannot fiad his way clear to install a special agent or officer to keep the depot in order or advise patrons of the line. ' "There is a question as to whether or not the company's agent can delib erately take physical action in quelling disturbances which might occur in rail road station buildings," said Mr. Albin. " We have depended upon the police en tirely to protect us when -an occasion arises wherein we need the protection of the law, and we have always bad the hearty co operation of all the local of cers. Insofar as installing a special of ficer in our Salem station, wo do not feel that the business justifies such an action. We have a porter in the station to give out information besides our reg ular agents and we believe that the po lice department can ably hnndle all cases which are necessary for calling Klice aid. "As to young people making thm Oregon Electric depot a hang out, I am unable to say. But, even if this is so, if they did not meet at the station, they would do so on some street corner or elsewhere, ami as I said before, if the young people are conducting them selves Improperly around our property, it is up to the police department to in vestigate not us. The Oregon Electric pays its taxes and conducts its business in. the same manner as any other law abiding corporation or firm, nnd we are entitled to the same degree of police protection as others, too." Alleges Untruth. "The stntement which appeared in a morning paper to the-effect the police department has not cooperated with Police Matron Lynch, is an untruth," stated t hief of Police Hhedeck this "I huvo ' not been fighting Mrs. Lynch," continued the chief. "Instead I have tried to aid her in every way possible. The statement that sho has received no co operation from this of fice is an absolute untruth." Speaking of the Oregon Electric do pot, Chief Shcdeck said: "Day Offi cer Welch is around that depot ovory hour of the day and I have instructed my night meii to make that placo a reg ular stop every night, Of course, there are people in the building at all hours of the night, but when a train is due, how are we to know that they are not waiting for trains!" Although the regular duties of a po lice matron are generally confined to caring far female prisoners in the city or county jail, it is said thnt the pres ent incumbent of the office in Salem takes it upon herself to go outsldo of her regular duties and attempt to act as a street policewoman. In this regard, it is stated that dur ing Mrs. Lyncli's incumbency she has eff'M'tcd many arrests, but there has been but one or two cases wherein the evidence was sufficintly strong to cause the defendants any serious Inconveni ence. There have been ninny cases that have come up in Mrs. Lynch 's department that the public in gene nil knows nothingnhnut, and the samestutc of affniiH Clint tn the county juvenile department In charge of Mrs. Jackson. However, the latter officer has grounds for keeping her cases quiet, as eight out of ten (ases are cither settled satisfac torily or brought before the court. In any event, the office of police ma' rnn in this city Is meeting with con- morning. "I have Blways been willing sidcrnble opposition due to the fact to lend both my aid ami assign men to' that it is charged the incumbent is not Mrs. Lynch, and slje knows fully as acting as police matron wholly, hut well. At any time Mrs. Lynch has'de-' taking upon herself to act as a street sired to work with any of the men un- policewoman, and just where the pres- iler me, she has been given the fullest ent difficulty will rest, remains In the consideration; nd I dare say she will hands of the mayor and the members admit such things to be true. of tuo city council, Wild Confusion InParliment Suffragettes Frighten Commons Into Belief That Members Are Threat ened With Pistol. I UNITED VBtlSS LBASID WIM. London, July 11. The house of com mons was thrown into wild confusion today by a sensational suffragette dem onstration, a part of which was in tended to frighten the commons into the belief that members were threat ened with a pistol. Solicitor-Genera Simons was making a speech at the time. Two male suffragottes, believed ta be responsible for the demonstra tion, were ircrsted. ' Two men were seated in the visitors' gallery, when one suddenly shouted "justice for women," and fired what other spectators and members believed to be a real piatol. The other man hurled suffragette literature upon the members, and threw mouse traps, each bearing the figure of a cat on top. Officials overpoworcd the men, and when the "pistol" was seized it was found to be a child's toy, and that a percussion cap had been fired. The two men were identified as H. G. Ben nett and Evan Shaw. House Democrats WiU Get Together in an Effort to Frame Currency Re form Measure. (united rsasa liihid wiaa.) Washington, July Jl. The tangle in the houso tiding committee over cur rency legislation reached a Btago today where it was admitted by many con gressmen that a caucus bill on currency reform is the only solution to the prob lem. Wide differences have arisen be tween factions of the Democratic mem bers of the committee, and a dictum by the caucus, it is expected, will bo forced. A call for a caucus of house Demo crats to meet noxt week, will be re quested.

It is a mis take to put too much emphasis on the so-called sex morality argument in dis cussing the question of hilnimuiu wages wns tho advice given by Father Edwin V. O'lfura, chairman of the Industrial Welfare Commission of Oregon, (ad dressing a section meeting of the Sa tionul Conference of Charities and Correction this morning. "It Is fundamentally a moral issue, " he said, "one of social justice. But the insinuation that underpaid girls are largely Immoral, and that the In crease of wgnes is going to make It possiblo for them to lead mornl lives is false, in fact and dangerous In poli cy, Oirls will not co operate with re formers to begin by casting reflections on their virtue. It is morn to tho point to show thnt underpaid girls are pre serving their virtue, but are living on two meals a day, and are forced to practice other pitiable economies which undermine their benlth and unfit them for the duties of wife and mother, and thus snp the foundation of society." Other speakers on the minimum wage snbjoct this morning were Miss Flor ence Kelly, of New York) Mrs. Millie P. Trumbull, of Portland; Mrs. Blanche Maeon, of Seattle; Charles F.
