Men highly versed |in forestry have advised the tricing up | of the tree, claiming that by stayin | its tendency to tumble over its life may | be spared for many years to come. The | majority of the commissioners seem to | take this view, too, and have gone so far as to order cables and plans for | holding the monarch in position. On| the other hand there are those who point to the fact that, while the grove contains the skeletons of many a fallen | giant sequoia, there is not within the| memory of any one in the present gen- eration who ever saw or heard of one| of these trees falling. In June the commissioners held their annual yearly meeting to pass upon the different concessions and needs of the valley and vicinity. Quite a discus- * gion was given to the “Grizzly Giant.” OwIng to a serfous accident which be- fell Commissioner J. C. Wilson and necessitated his immediate return to San Francisco the matter was held over for further discussion. State Road Commissioner Ellery was delegated by the commission to visit the Mariposa grove of big trees and to report his views on this subject. Ellery after an inspection stated that with cables and guide wires he thought that the “Geizzly Giant” could be pre- served for some time to come. mmissioner J. C. Wilson states that he has examined the “Grizzly Giant” thoroughly and he thinks that no cables or wires will be necessary, as the tree is only following the true course of nature and beyond a slight tendency to lean a bit is no worse off than twenty others of the Mariposa group of big trees, and is inclined to let nature take its course, saying there is no cause to worry over the outcome, as he firmly believes that it will be many years before the “Grizzly Glant™ will have to be braced up by unsightly cables and guy wires, marring the picturesque beauty of the grove. IR INTERNATIONAL JURYMEN MUST PAY OWN EXPENSES Judges From Germany to World’s Fair Go to St. Louis at Per- sonal Cost of $62,000. BERLIN, July 18.—Some irritation ssion in the newspapers the mandgement of the xposition declines to bear E Louis the expense of the international jury- men. It was assumed here, upon the basis of the exposition publications, that the expenses would be borne, and the newspapers now speak of bad faith in asking the judges to take a long and expensive trip at their own expense to discharge a purely honor- ary function. One newspaper points | out that the expense of the hundred German judges amounts to at least .$62,000. Other newspapers suggest that the above outcome shows the Germans acted too hastily in accept- ing the invitation to exhibit at St. Louis. —————— MURDERER OF ANDREIFF SUPPOSEDLY AN ARMENIAN Assassin After Firing Six Bullets Into Vice Governor’s Back Effects 5 His Escape.

A: Emery gave the Chautauquans a vigorous address to-day on the work of the Citizens' Alliance and made a powerful plea for the individual liberty of both employer and employe. Dr. S. L.

Sewell of New Orleans, the contractor who made the arrangements with the Cu- ban Government to remove the wreck of the Maine, that the Navy Depart- ment has no authority either to aban- don the vessel or to permit its re- moval. He stated that Congress alone can dispose of the public property of the United States and that the Navy Department does not contémplate any work upon the wreck. This is an ap- proval from the head of the depart- ment of the position heretofore taken by Captain Diehl, judge advocate gen- eral, and ends, at least for the time being, the controversy with regard to raising the wreck. — eee———— BATTLESHIP OHIO WILL SOON HAVE TRIAL TRIP Navy Department Appoints Officers Who Will Have Charge of the Vessel's Official Test.

TOPEKA, Kans.,, July 18.—Nathan Shad and Blaine Greenway, two Hol- ton negroes, are in the county jail here charged with assault with intent to kill.

The charge is made also against Patrolmen Frank Nelson, George { Welch, Charles Farman and J. S. Rob- inson. Most of the accusations are made by other members of the depart- | »ment, particularly Officers E. B. Brad Iy and F. R. Harriman. - The depart ment has for some time been split into two factions, and the appointment of | Simpson as sergeant has precipitated the trouble that has just arisen. One of the specific charges is that on the night of June 30, Simpson and Nel- son arrested R. S. Faulkner for dis- turbing the peace. They started him to jail, but in the courthouse park, it | { is alleged, they offered to release him if he would pay them twenty dollars. He handed over the money, but told the story to a relative the next day, who in turn told it to Harriman. Several Japanese, it is said, are ready to testify that Simpson, Robin- son and Farman arrested them, but reieased them on the payment of a small sum of money. Sergeant Simp- son charges Harriman and Bradley with neglecting their duty and behav- ing in a manner unbecoming an officer so that they, too, will be on the official ‘ carpet. Mayor Stephens has an- | nounced his intentions of making thei investigation a public one and probing | the matter to the bottom. ‘ —_——— RAILROAD MFN ARE HELD | RESPONSIBLE FOR WRECK Sergeant | | |of the department. ] | Coroner’s Jury Blames Operator and | Flagman for the Loss of Six- i | teen Lives.

By his own ad- mission Heller did not go back more than 200 or 300 feet at any time after | his train stopped and had partly re- traced his steps. It had also been ! shown that he held his flag rolled up. | Richards knew his signal was out of | order and uncertain of action and was told by an engineer who was on the |station platform that it was clear.

This caused the steamer to list heavily to starboard. Members of the crew hastened to close the lower portholes, while many women secured life preservers and crowded to the steamer’s rail. This caused the boat to settle further | to starboard and some of the passste gers became thoroughly alarmed. The crew was at once mustered By the officers and an attempt was made to reason with the frightened men and | women. The passengers refused to obey o | ders and finally, in order to drive themy away from the rail, the fire hose was used. It proved effective and the crowd went to the lower deck. The women were persuaded inte the smoking-rooms of the cabin and were reassured by the officers, while the men were talked to outside by ether members of the crew. ' The ship held to its course, despite the petitions of the passengers to turn around, and finally reached Chicago. Many of the women insisted on wearing preservers until the vessel reached its destinae tion.
