DETECTIVES ARE !
AFTER KRAUSE
PINKERTON’S MEN ARE SAID
TO BE LOOKING HIM UP
(From Juneau Empire)
The departure of the United
States steamer Peterson of Fort
William H. Seward, to search, for
Captain Jas. O. Plunketts’ boat, or
other evidence concerning Plunkett,
the forwarding over the cable, by
Governor Strong of a requisition
on Gov. Ernest Lister of Washing
ton for the extradition of Edward
Krause, the arrival of a Pinker
ton detective to work on the Krause
case, and the discovery of evidence
that indicates Ernest Biesold is
safe and sound were developments
in the Krause case today.
Biesold, a baker at Thane, quit
work on October 23. On October
25 he was seen with Krause, accom
panying the latter to his launch.
But on that night, it is said, he left
on the Admiral Evans for Seattle, j
working his way as baker. Mrs.
Jamert of the Capitol Cafe made
this statement today. Joe Kielwas
ser also said he knew Biesold had
gone on the Admiral Evans and
Peter Schramen is said to have con
firmed that story. Biesold carried
his money in a draft.
Gov. Strong cabled to Gov. Ernest
Lister the extradition papers for
Krause, and duplicate copies have
been sent to Olympia by mail. To
morrow afternoon Judge Neterer at
Seattle will rule finally on the mat
ter of Krause’s’ removal to Juneau.
One of the best men in the Pink
erton detective service arrived m
Junau last night and is at work on
the Krause case today. It is saiJ
private individuals have hired him,
most of them being friends of J’ci
Hunpett and William Christie.
The army steamer Peterson arriv
ed last night from Fort Sewari and
at 11 o’clock this morning left for
Hobart bayto search for Plunkett’s
boat. Captain Davis is in charge
of the search on behalf of a citizens’
committee. He conferred with Gov
Strong this morning. The la-tuen
Mur'ett with A. Nord'ey and Lvle
Davis, also left this morning, on a
similiar mission. The Peterson will
be gone until November 22.
Capt. J. T. Martin returned last
night from Wrangell, where he left
the gasboat Lilllian, on which he
had been searching for evidence in
the case.
Alaska-Juneau watchman,
named Lee, has made the statement
that on the night before Christie
was kidnapped a man answering
Krause’s description asked him the
names of the foremen of the mills
at Treadwell. When Lee told him
Nick King was foreman of the
“TOO’ mill, where Christie worked,
the stranger appeared satisfied and
left.
This would contradict the state
ment of Krause at Seattle that a
stranger spoke to him a few minutes
before leaving for Treadwell and
that he did not know what the trip
to Treadwell was being made for.

western. He is off for a ten day
business trip to the states and ex
pects to bring his mother home

WATER STREAM CARRIES
LITTLE ELECTRICITY
The slight danger that firemen
run through the electric current
passing from heavily charged wires
up the stream of water they are
squirting is proved by an experiment
conducted by Ugo Tartaglini and re
ported in La Scienza per Tutti.
A trolley car wire charged with
a direct current of 525 volts had one
end grounded; on the other end he
directed a stream from a hose with
a noxelle 15 millimeters in diameter.
At 2.20 meters distance a voltmeter
attached to the nozzel registered
20 volts. At 65 centimeterc’ dis
tance it registered 70 volts, and at
20 centimeters 210 volts. The aver
age man can stand a current of 50
volts without serious shock, so a
fireman who holds his nozzel five or
six feet from a live wire runs no
great danger.
Mr. Tartaglini tried the same ex
periment on two lines of alter
nating current, one with 2,300, the
other with 4,600 volts, and the volt
meter did not register any current
in the stream pf water, although a
slight shock was perceptible when he
pat his hand into it. With a chemi
cal extinguisher he got a current of
1,550 volts at 225 millimeters fronC
a wire with a current of 2,050 volts.

SAYS TUBERCULINE WILL
CURE TUBERCULOSIS
SEATTLE, Nov. 24,—Dr. E. R.
Lamed, of Detroit, Mich., director
of the department of experimental
medicine, said in an address deliver
ed before the King County Medical
Society, that tuberculosis could be
cured in eighty cases out of every
hundred if the. patient will visit
the doctor before the disease reach
es an advanced stage. In part the
doctor said:
“The cure is effected by tuber
culine, which may also be used as
an immunizing agent in preventing
the disease. The greatest diffi
culty, said Dr. Lamed, was that
persons afflicted with tuberculosis
did not visit a doctor until they
had reached the second or third
stage. Another difficulty was that
patients would become careless in
following the doctor's explicit in
structions and progress in combat
ing the disease would be greatly
hampered.
“Although tuberculine was first
discovered in 1890, its use has been
greatly improved by present-day
physicians, said Dr. Lamed. He
urged that physicians should use
the greatest care in determining the
intervals between tratments, which
varied with every patient.”’
