CHICO, May 7.—The thirteenth annual session of the Grand Court, Foresters of America, convened in Armory Hall at 10 o'clock this morning, Grand Chief Ranger | Hugo K. Asher presiding. By invitation | Supreme Chief Sub-Ranger C. R. Rendon nd Past Chiefs §. C. Hensley and Jacob muels occupied seats on the platform. The reports presented by the grand of- ! ficers show that the past year has been | one of “consequence, moment and pro-! gress”; that the oxecutive council in-| creased the compensation to organizers to stimulate them to their best efforts and that a reasonable sum will have to be al- lowed to continue the Work of organiza- tion, on the ground that money expended for that purpose is not wasted. During the year ten courts were organized, with an aggregate membership of 402. The report of Grand Chief Ranger Hugo | K. Asher shows that the net gain for the | year was 1767 and since then there has | been angncrease of 500 members. No court | surrendered its charter. During the for- estic year the number of initiations was 3750 and during the same period the loss was 1983, of which 1749 were suspended for non-payment of dues. He favors organi- zation, the placing of the courts of Arl- zona under the jurisdiction of the Su- preme Court of the order; the establish- ment of a benevolent fund to assist mem- bers who may become financially embar- rassed; a revision of the judicial system | of the order and the continuance of the | official organ for the good that it has done | and will do.

HANNA LAUGHS AT THE STORY Senator Says He Is Not a Presidential Pos- sibility. Politicians Find Something Significant in the Report. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, May 7.1 am not a candidate for the Presidency,” said Senator Hanna laughingly, after he had read the interview with the secretary of the National Committee, Perry S. Heath, printed in a special cablegram from Lon- lon. Mr. Heath’s interview did not seem to displease the Senator from Ohio, but he declined to discuss it in any way, and ‘when pressed for a statement said: “If you want an interview you will have to interview yourself. I won't talk about it.” . Among Republican politicians in Wash- ington the interview with Heath at- tracted much attention, especially when it is recalled that a few weeks ago Sen- ator Scott, a member of the Republican executive committee, suggestqd the nom- ination of Senator Hanna in 1904. The two Interviews taken together form the basis of a bellef that the National Com- mittee may enter upon a campaign to bring about the nomination of Hanna. There are many men in the Republican party who believe that no better nomi- nation than that of the Ohio Senator could be made, and it would not be sur- prising if he is put forward by the next convention if the rheumatism from which he suffers at times does not interfere with his acceptance. Advocates of his candidacy say that a | great change has taken place in the popu- lar estimation of Senator Hanna since he entered the Senate. His stralghtfor- ward methods of advocating legislative measures and his courage in_defending his_opinions have made friends for him and have won him the respect even of those who differ with him. It is recalled that when during the last campalgn Sen- 4 DR. KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT. IS IT AN EPIDEMIC? Vital Statistics Show an Alarming Increase in an Already Prevail- ing Disease—Ars Any Exempt? At no time in the history of disease has there been such an alarming increase in the number of cases of any particular malady as in that of kidney and bladder troubles now preying upon the people of this country. To-day we se2 a relative, a friend or an acquaintance apparently well, and in a few days we may be grieved to learn of their serious fllness or sudden death, caused by that fatal type of kidney trou- ble—Bright's disease. Kidney trouble often becomes advanced into acute stages before the afflicted is aware of its presence; that is why we read of so many sudden deaths of prom- inent business and professional men, phy- siclans and others. They have neglected to stop the leak in time. While sclentists * are puzzling their brains to find out the cause, each indi- vidual can by a little precaution avold the chances of contracting dreaded and dan- gerous kidney trouble, or eradicate it com= pletely from their system if already af- flicted. Many precious lives might have been and many more can yet be saved by paying attention to the kidneys. It is the mission of The Call to benefit its readers at every opportunity, and therefore we advise all who have any symptoms of kidney or bladder trouble to write to-day to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, Y., for a free sample bottle of Swamp-Root, the celebrated specific, which is having such a great demand and remarkable success in the cure of the most tressing kidney and bladder trou- bles. With the sample bottle of Swamp- Root will also te sent free a pamphlet and treatise of valuable information. LIGUOR AND DEATK - GONSPIRE TOGETHER D.

The candidates for sub chief ranger are G ator E. 1. Wolfe of San Francisco. Wolfe is the choice $f the Heenan faction and the Heenanites are willing to make any kind of a compromise to win for him.

Upon this fight appears to hinge the subsequent contests, and the side which wins' the sub chief rangership will have a fair chance of sweeping the boards, including grand representatives.

The victoria in which Queen Edith rode, behind four white fiorses, was decoratea with a wealth of white carnations and no less than 2000 pampas plumes, deftly set to prodfice a falry-like effect. The seven- teen maids of honor from neighboring lo- calities rode in two tally-hos all ablaze with red carnations, relieved by green grasses, one vehicle drawn by four b ribboned blacks, the other by four sim- flarly adorned white horses. The Elks, mounted, dressed in purple and white duck, formed the Queen's es- cort. The color effects of the long parade were superb and elicited exclamations of admiration and handclapping all the way. Four snow-white horses in russet leather harness drew the white “spider” in which sat Director General Clark and wife, amid an artistic profusion of white carnations. The coronation exercises following the parade were most impressive. The {llum- inatlons and scenes at the street fair were repeated to-night in the presence of many thousands.

FRESNO, May 7.—Judge Olin Welborn, | sitting in the northern division of the United States District Court for Southern | California, to-day, in overruling a demur- | rer made by sheep owners to complaints against them for trespassing on forest reserves, gave an important opinion re- garding the jurisdiction of the United States executive authority over the for- est reserves. He held first that the State law would uphold the entire jurisdiction of the Federal executives over the forest reserves, just as that of any private owner; second, that even if this were not the case, it could not be questioned that the Unifed States had entire authority over its public lands; third, that the right enjoyed by grazers to run their stock on the public domain 1s derived from the sufferance of the national Government and not from any authorization of Con- gress. e FREE OF CHARGE.

STILL LOTH T0° FREE THE DUNHAM SUSPECT Santa Clara’s District Attor- ney Calls In Handwrit- ing Expert. el kel Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, May 7.—Miss Flora Firman, who worked for Crill, the Dunham sus- pect, on the Bessemer News in Leadville, in 1893-94, and who is now a residdnt of Seabight, Santa Cruz County, called at the County Jail to-day and positively identified the Dunham suspect as Crill. Mrs. A. C. Hewitt of the Willows, who knew Dunham intimately, also declared the man was not Dunham. Notwithstanding these and other posi- tive identifications, District Attorney Campbell refuses to order Crill's release. He is now cemparing the handwriting of the suspect with that of Dunham. A number of copy books used by the mur- derer at Santa Clara College, which he was attending at the time of the crime, | have been obtained and the writing has been submitted to Expert Ames. This is surely the last test that can be applied unless “Pudd'nhead Wilson's" system of thumb marks be brought into play. Many of the people declare Crill's thumbs, which are short, stubby and square, re- semble Dunham's, but the Campbell murderer left none of his handmarks be- hind that are now obtainable. The local sleuths had entirely overlooked these matters in gathering the evidence at the scene of the crime.
