FORESTS MUST BE PRESERVED Upon Area of Trees Depends the Water Supply. St el BERKELEY, July 3.—Bernard E. Fer- now, professor of forestry at Cornell Uni- versity and lecturer on forestry at the summer session of the University of Cali- fornia, delivered an address last night on “The Lumberman and Forester,” which had much bearing on forestry and irriga- tion conditions in California. The lecturer dwelt especially upon the imperative e y of preserving the forests along the great watersheds of the Slerra and the Coast Range. He said in part: The conservation of water and its rationally regulated use is a vital question in California. The only controllable factor in this problem is ibe regulation of the run-off from the mountain slopes. ¢ irrigation in the fertile valley can e heed Cerncicatly subserved by keeplng fntact the natural reservoirs, the mountain forests, by keeping fires out, by curtalling stock Erazing in them, and by actively planting and Fecovering slopes denuded by the miner and lumberman. After showing how in Southern Califor- nia only one-fifth of the arable land is made productive owing to the inadequate water supply resulting from the denuda- tion of the watersheds, Professor Fernow continued: No artificial storage by itsell Will ever solve NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ACCEPTANCE OF BONDS Judge Sloss’ Recent Decision Only In- volved the Matter of Fixing of Bail. Warrant and Bond Clerk Fitzpatrick discovered yesterday that the decision of Judge Sloss in the case of Timothy Cal- nan’s bondsmen did not bear upon wheth- er or not the bond and warrant clerk could accept bonds.in felony cases. At- torney Sulllvan, who represented Calnan’s bondsmen, stated that the only point in- volved was that the fixing of bonds was a judicial act and could only be done by a Judge, but nothing was mentioned as 10 the acceptance of bonds. Fitzpatrick walted upon Chief Wittman and explained to him what the decision actually meant and asked the Chief to withdraw his order to the officers in the City Prison against accepting an order of. discharge from him or his‘ assistants. The Chief said he would inquire into the matter and sent Captain Norman to inter- view Judge Sloss. The Judge admitted that Fitzpatrick was right, as the only point involved was the fixing of bonds and not their acceptance. Chief Wittman then decided to amend the order to the prison officers to the ef- fect that all orders for release of prison- ers on bail must show that the bail had heen fixed by a Judge. —— e CLUB MEETING POSTPONED.—The Re- publican Club of the Forty-first District, of which Frank W.

J. | aAf5 THE CRIME Enquirer Furnishes Sen- sation in the Book Scandal, Publication cf an Editorial Which Excites the Politicians. RN Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 3. The political sensation of the day in | Alameda County was an editorial in the | | Oakland - Enquirer this evening. This | newspaper, which is managed by G. B.! Danlels and which is reputed to be owned | by Dr. George C. Pardee and Henry P. Dalton, comes out. with a.declaration of |'its position upon the present condition of Alameda County affairs and county poli- ties. This editorial amounts to an an- ncuricement that in the present contro- versy over the books for the Assessor's office that were paid for but never dellv-! ered “somebody’” is guilty, but that the| Enquirer does not attempt to assert who : that party is. The politicians of the county seem to | see in this expression of opinion a repudi. ation of one of the supposed owners of the paper. Certain it is that the editorial in question declares that a crime has been committed, but thée newspaper does not autempt to fix the responsibility for the | act, . | “T'his condition of affairs Is fraught with much significance. The Enquirer has up to the present time declared that this was merely a scheme of the Contra Costa Water Company to persecute its enemles. But the editorial to-night admits a crime, though declining to fix the responsibility. PEOPLE ARE GUESSING. The people of Alameda County are try- irg to decide whether the Enquirer has pleaded guiity for some one, ‘and if so, Tfor whom. This is a portion of the editorial that hag caused all of the political excitement | in_Alameda County: | _So much for the latest phase of the case. | Now, with regard to the general matter, the | Enquirer has this to eay: Ir Mr. Dalton or | Mr. Daniels, either or both, has or have. been guilty of presenting a false claim against | the county and collecting money on the same, | they—either or both—should be prosecuted and punished the same as any on else should be; | ‘but neither is going to be convicted before the public or before the court on the unsupported charges of Mr. Nusbaumer and . his indicted | client. The case is not one to be tried In the | newspapers, and the Enquirer does not pro- | pose to try either Mr. Dalton or Mr. Danlels in that way. It is emphatically a case for the | courts to investigate and pass judgment upon. | It it should be proven that either of the de- fendants 1s clearly gullty, he will be punished both by the administration of the prescribed | legal penaities and by the infliction of deserved | public condemnation. 1If, on the other hand, the accusation falls to the ground, the public will draw its own conclusions concerning the | motives for the presentation of the charges. | | _The Enquirer does not expect or desire that l the gullt or the innocence of the accused per- | sons will be determined by any other criterion { i pany, and that the water company is the real | prosecutor in this cage to figure in the trial, | but it does consider it essential that this fact | should be known by the public, both- because it is a fact and because such knowledge is im- | the wholo affair. We belleve this was clearly | established when it 'was brought out that one of the original affidavits on which Mr. Nus- | baumer based his charges was wrung from a | man in a conclave of Nusbaumer and Frank J. Motftt, the latter the political manager of the water company, as Mr, Nusbaumer is its attorney, | FALSE CLAIMS PRESENTED. | Apparently false claims against the county | haveé-been presented and money to the amoun. of $1500 collected unlawrully. The county a good case to recover that sum. and if it shall prove that the wrongful collection was made_ willfully and did not originate merely through a series of misunderstandings and as a consequence of a bad system of hypothecat- ing claims before they are due, then some- body has been gullty of a serious crime and he should be duly punished. Mr. Daniels appeared in the Police Court | this ‘morning and entered a plea of not guilty to the felony charged in the com- plaint that was filed with Police Judge Smith yesterday. The proceedings were very short and the preliminary hearing was set for next Tuesday, July 8, before | Judge Smitk NO TRACE IS FOUND i OF MISSING VESSELS| Steamer Senator Brings News of an Unsuccessful Cruise for Port- land and Jeanie. PORTLAND, Ore., July 3.—The steamer Senator, which left Nome June 2, ar- rived last night. Ske brought no passen- gers on the trip down, it being kmown | that the steamer would be quarantined | on arrival there. The Senator left Nome June 24. Captain Patterson reports that the revenue cutter Thetis returned to | Nome June 23, after an ursuccesstul cruise in search of the missing Jeanie and Port- land. “&xptam Healey reported that he had been seventy-five miles into the Arctic | Ocean and had found absolutely no trace | of the overdue steamers. He did not have | much hope that the vessels would reach Nome even if they were still afloat. The Thetis was filling her bunkers from the | coal-laden schooner Americana when ths | Senator left and expected to leave on | June 24 to renew the search for the steam- | ers Jeanie and Portland. Captain_Patterson denies the report | brought down by the steamer Centennial | to the-effect that the whaler Belvedere | had arrived at Nome June 20 and reported | the ~Jeanie ahd Portland in the fce| June 17, eighty miles north of Cape Prince of Wales, with the Thetis standing by. Patterson said he had heard this rumor at Nome, but there was nothing in it. ———a——— PERSONAL. J. A, Carpenter of Redding is among the guests at the Palace. Dr. H.

This moth is peculiar to the Pacific Coast and has been given the name of ‘“Phrygan- dida Californica,” because it is found only in California, and the university en- tomologists are making the most strenu- ous efforts to find some way of eradicat- ing the pest that threatens to deprive the University of California of one of its greatest beauties. Even the noble oak that was named af- ter the late Professor Joseph Le Conte is covered with the pest and the Derkeley professors and students are working hard to find something that may save this of all the trees. The pest appeared about three weeks ago and now every tree trunk is covered with their chrysalides .and clouds of the liberated moths surround each tree top. Since this particular moth reproduces from three to four generations a year, the scientists feel that the present numbers of the pests is only a part of what is next to_come. The insect s the only one of its genus found in America, and is confined entirely to the Pacific Coast region. Heretofore they have made themselves felt only in [ e s e i) DAIRY GOURGE 1o ENLARGED Berkeley to Have Model ‘Stock Barn With Choice Cows. BERKELEY, July 3—The department of agriculture of the University of Cali- fornia is to have an innovation -'ntro- Guced next term in connection with its dairy department in the form of a. scientlfically equipped stock barn, which is to contain a small herd of choice cat- tle. Not only will the dairy students be thereby instructed in the proper care and feeding of dairy stock, but an opportun- ity will be given for scientific experi- ments in cattle feeding, a thing which has never yet been done on the Pacific Coast. - The barn, which is already under course \of construction in Co-ed Canyon, will be & two-story frame structure, with sufficient capacity to accommodate thirty cows. The floor will be of cement, with ample drainage securities, and all of the fttings and appliances will be after-the pattern of meh l!cslemmcnlly equipped of the East. “She e which will be yiclded by. the cattle will be utilized In "the practical working of the dairy school. Heretotore when the milk was collected from many different points much trouble was expe- rienced owing to its varying qualities. The opportunity given by the new dairy aajunct for tne practical determi- nation of standard fodders for dairy cows by sclentific dietary experiments will be of inestimable value to the dairying in- lerests throughout the State. Professor Leroy Anderson will conduct a class in Jeeds and feeding of _ cattle, with' practical demonstration in experiments with different Caiifornia fodders. The ag- ricultural experiment station of Utah is the nearest point where such experiments are conducted at present. 'A. “R. Ward, instructor in veterinary science ana bacteriology, will utilize the stock barn to fllustrate his courses on bacteriology _and veterinary Qo e, Which are given to the dairy school students. Speaking of the new zddition to the dairying department Dr. ‘Ward said: “"This 18 something that.the whole State needs. Farmers and dairymen must’ be taught how to feed and care for their cows In order to insure the best result: The feeding experiments will be very val wable to the agriculturists.” Dr. Ward. is now conducting the test- ing of butter throughout the State J.

E. Woodworth of the department of agriculture probably will spread all around the bay. Professor Woodworth, the entomologist who has recently been fighting the grass- hoppers in the foothill district, made th2 following statement about the moth: “This insect is peculiar to the California coast and has made its appearance sev- eral times before. There is absolutely no way of fighting the pest, since the spray- ing usually used dn fruit trees is made inadequate for a tree of such size as tk: . The pest will not abate until eve: tree is stripped of its foliage and some of the older trees, such as -the Le Conte oak, may not survive the loss of their leaves.” FRANGE HONORS OR. M. MARGOL Berkeley Savant Asked to'Attend Oriental- ist Congress. BERKELEY, July 3.—Max L. Margolis, essoclate professor of Semitic languages at the University of California, and an acknowledged authority on the dead languages of the East, has received from the French Government an offer to te its representative. at - the -coming Inter- national Congress of Orientalists, which is to meet in Hanoi, Indo-China, in the morth of November. This is the first time that the University of California has had an opportunity to have a representa- tive in this' noted assemblage of scholars anad the selection of Professor Margolis is deemed a.mark of great distinction. The International Congress of Oriental- ists is a body of noted scholars -from European _and American universities, whose studies are devoted to the dead languages of ancient Egypt, Chaldea, India and other long forgotten nations. At its biennial congresSes, which are vsvally held in the Far East, where in- vestigation can be made, noted linquists from all over the world are assembled to consider questions of interest in the study of the dead languages. Professor Margolis, who has been con- nected with Professor Jacob Voorsanger in the department of Semitic languages at Berkeley for many years, has established his reputation as an orientalist by several works' on the long-buried inscriptions of Phoenicia and Babylonia. He. conducts courses in Hebrew, Arabic, Syrtac, Ethi- opic and Contic. APPROVE EIGHT-HOUR BASIS. Shippers, Packers and Porters’ Unicn Approve Hale Bros.” Action.

GENATOR TAYLOR MAKES HIS EXIT Leaves Field Clear for Nomination of J. R. Knowland. Retires From Fight in Inter- est of Harmony in the Party. ALAMEDA, July 3.—State Senator E. K. Taylor has announced that he will not be a candidate at the forthcoming Republi- can convention to succeed himself. This | leaves the fleld clear for Assemblyman J. R. Knowland, who some time ago de- clared his candidacy for the nomination in the new Senatorial district, which in- cludes Alameda and a portion of the Sev- enth Ward of Oakland. “Why didn't I seek nomination?” sa.d Senator Tayior. “Certainly I have rea- sons. If the public were as reasonable and knew a good thing when they had it, I wouldn't have run for the office. I could walk in. But if everybody thought { right there couldn’t be any litigation and we lawyers would have to turn fishermen to make a living. “Seriously, I don’t want to go back to Sacramento. - It interferes with my law business. Local fights interrupt friend- ships and I would rather have friends than office. When fighting I can’t help hitting hard, and although I have always | played fair and won, local wrangling isn't | pleasant. Now that'l can bring harmony {into local Republican ranks by laying side a toza, which I don't need this warm weatner, it is my duty as a Repub- lican to do so. “I never opposed a Republican nomines jor ticket. I am a straight programmer and have worked for the party for twean- | ty-five years. I have never stcod for fraud in business or in politics. But I |am going to Catalina to catch filsh now, | instead of votes.” | _The interview discloses the retiring Senator's sentiments. His friends say his business affairs require so much of his time that he really can find no induce- ment to remain in the fight. There is no doubt that Senator Taylor's decision clarifies the political situation in ‘Ala~ | meda. Assemblyman Knowland has no opposition for the nomination. as Ala- | meda will control the district delegation. —_— Parent Can Chastise Son. | William C. Clifford, plumber, 849 Valen~ | cla street, appeared before Judge Mogan | yesterday on the charge of horsewhipping | his son Harold, 10 years of age, because | the boy had stolen a tin of sardines.

He thought, however, that { a severe whipping wouid stop his ten- | Gency to steal. The Judge dismissed the | cose, saying that a parent was justified in | chastising his children, and under the eir- | cumstances he did not think that the de- | fendant had gone beyond proper bounds. ————————— Kiss Wins Him the Parrot. Maurice Hayes, 508 Octavia street, was able to prove to the satisfaction of Judge Fritz yesterday that the parrot which he discovered in the possession of J. C.

The par- rct was brought into court, but all Hayes' coaxing would not make it talk, and explained to the Judge that was shy owing to so_many peo- | ble being around. me, Polly,” said | Hayes, and “Polly” kissed him again and | again. That settled it, and the Judge awarded the parrot to Hay —e—————— Sentenced for Burglary. J. F.
