Disgraceful Wrangl
 in the Botkin Case.
GOVERNORS WARRANT ISSUED
FIGHT OVER THE WORDING OF
 THE STATE DOCUMENT.
The Extradition Matter Will Be Transferred on Habeas Corpus Into the Federal Court
 To-Day.

There was Q parrot-and-monkey time In the office of the Attorney General yester- day afternoon in which Chief of Police Lees and George 4. Knight. the attorney for Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, furnished the entertainment. The gray-haired Chief and the silver-tongued orator from the redwoOds grew red Of face and called each other names that indicated that they were not on the best of terms, in conse- Quence of their difference of opinion on points in the case mentioned.
 X little after 2 o'clock Governor Budd. Attorney Knight and F. McGowan for the alleged poisoner of the women in Del aware. Chief Lees, Detective McVey. from the Eastern State. Assistant District At torney Hosmer, besides other attorneys and detectives, assembled in the rooms of Attorney General Fitzgerald. The Gov ernor's purpose was 10 issue the warrant for Mrs. Botkins extradition in order that her lawyers might sue out writ of habeas corpus and have the legal points Of the matter settled by court
 The question 10 be determined was whether or not Mrs. Botkin is a fugitive from the justice Of the State Of Della ware The Governor had prepared two warrants. to one Of which he had at- tached the affidavit made in Delaware. and upon which the Governor Of that State had made his reQUiSiTou. To the other he proposed 10 attach all of the papers submitted to him. It was the lat ter that was finally issued. Before this was reached there was a discussion and more talking was done than by room full of phonOgraphs- Chief Lees was smarting under the insinuation that he was watching for an opportunity 10 spirit Ihe woman out Of the State before her attorneys could prevent by legal methods and he felt none 100 kindly toward Knight. who was accredited with being the author of the statement.
 Lees lost no time in making the state ment that he wanted the case brought before the courts on its merits, and that he had no intention whatever Of adopt ing any underhanded methods 10 get ths woman out Of the jurisdiction Of the State or courts. Knight said that was exactly what he wanted. and he discIaimed be- ing the author Of the remark thar had excited the Chiefs ire. This did not sat isfy the Chief. and many times he re- feTCed to the matter that irTirated him. and even accused the Governor of enter Iaining some such idea.

CONTROL THE PINE MARKET
NEW ASSOCIATION CALLED THE LUMBER MANUFACTURERS
 OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
Another Raise Looked For in the Near Future-Redwood Dealers May Join the Compact
 Also.

There has been sharp advance in the price of lumber since last Saturday, and the indications are that the figures for pine will go still higher in the near fu- ture.
 Lumbermen have been complaining for some time that there was no money in the business owing 10 the sharp competi- ton in this and other coast markets. Mills have been running at an actual loss for some time, II is claimed. and must continue 10 do so until the stocks now on hand are exhausted unless some steps could be taken 10 check the down. ward tendency of prices. IL IS estimated that aJ the present time there is lumber enough in stock To meet the demand for nearly if not quite 8 year.
 Dealers have been Canvassing the situ- ation for some time, and last Saturday afternoon definite action was taken when a number of dealers met in the offices of the Pacific Pine Lumber Company. 255 California street, aI which an association was formed and the name Of the Lumber Manufacturers Of the PaciEc Coast was adopted. J II. Baxter presided over the meeting and Frank Warren was chosen secretary of the new association.
 The following firms were represented and became members or the combine; SrimsO1 Mill Company, BeiinghaTn Bay Land ana Improvement Company, Ia coma Mill Company, D. IL Bloo Lumber Company St Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company Pope & Talbot. W. J. Adams. $. E. Siade Lumber Company, Grays FarbOr Commercial Company. Wilson Brothers IS Co.,. Gardiner Mill Company, Simpson Lumber Company.
 The situation was discussed al length and II was finally decided 10 advance the price of lumber from SS 90 and Sl0 per NJ 10 SIl. cargo delivery, and a new price list in accordance with this raise was ordered printed. The new schedule it was claimed. would protect dealers from act ual loss. though there was little or no profit fn lumber even al that rate. 50 it iS quite probable that before 8 great while the association will order another ed- vance
 The dealers interested in the new asSo- ciatiou ir will be seen. are those who control the pine market. but it Is expect ct that the California redwood dealers will enter the compact before long and put Up the price of that product core SpoldiuSly.
