that a reduced number of employees
can handle it. The indication are that

SHAFFER WANTS POSITION
Head of Iron Workers Wants to be
Commissioner of Labor.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 2.-President
Theodore Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron. Steel & Tin Work
ers, is a candidate for commissioner
of labor at Washington to succeed Car
roll D. Wright, whose resignation was
rendered a year ago. This announce
ment was made in Pttsburg today and
on the heels of it word came to work
men in the ranks that Mr.. Shaffer is
supported by w. E. Corey, president
of the United States Steel corporation.
Many other heads of iron and steel in
dustries are quoted as being in favor
of the elevation of Shaffer to the posi-
ton in Washington, and the heart OF
the wOrkingn1an, the Amalgamated
workman, is sad.
No secret is made of the belief here
by the workmen that in this time OF
strikes, Shaffer should be attending to
the wants of the Amalgamated asso-
Washington job, to get which it seems
necessary that the aid of the natural
enemies of the Amalgamated shall be
solicited. 1t was admitted at the head

that Shaffer expected the appoint
ment.

fought through the Civil War in the
Union army 1t is believed that he is
1he only Chinese who regularly enlist
ed and remained in service during the
fighting. Peau is now GA years of age.
His knowledge of events OF the war is
as thorough as that of the ordinary
Grand Array man. and although his
memory is rather poor his recital is
accurate.
Peau was born at Canton, China, and
came to America at the age of Is. He
first visited San Francisco. but later
went to New York where he attended
school. He adopted American customs
and avoided the Chinese colony. Dur
ing a vacation he visited Fort Stump
fer. and CHANGED to be there when the
s,onfederates made the initial assault
of the war of the rebellion. The Incl
dent had the effect of making Peau
pro-union, and when President Lin
coin issued the first call for $4,000 vol
lnteers Peau responded and became "a
union soldier.
The company with which Peau en-
listed took part in the first great battle
of the war-Bull Run. Peau personally
of w n
fell at Balls Bluff. and also numbered
among his aCquaintanceS General I.
:. Grant. with whose army he was con-
Nscted at the time of Lees surrender.
After Bull Run Peau re-enlsted with
=an Ohio company ana served from
1852 to 1868 He was only slightly
wounded although he took part in sew
*,raI important engagements.

RICH PURE FOOD MAKER GONE
Neil S. Phelps, Of Battle Creek, Mich.
Disappears-Suieide Suspected.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. @
Neil S. Phelps chairman of the Phelps
senatorium and the Ellis Publishing
company, treasurer of the Malta Vita
Pure Food company, and interested in
several other local industries, is miss
ing. He left home Saturday and has
not been heard from or seen since.
Whether he committed suicide or left
the country, rather than face financial
embarrassment, is a mystery.
One year ago Phelps, who was then
considered the richest man in Battle
Creek, called a meeting Of all of his
creditors and stated that he could not
meet their demands. The millions he
had made in pure food and other spec
ulation had been lost through unprofit-
able investments in new industries. His
creditors gave him year to repair his
losses. The year ends today and he
cannot meet his creditors
Phelps had no reason for running
away, however, for the creditors al
ready had his affairs in charge, and he
could have saved himself by going in
to bankruptcy. But Phelps had worn
out his brain in an effort to fill the fl
nancial breach. until broken in health,
and worried, he became mentally I'M
balanced. He left his purse at home
and had no money to buy a railroad
ticket, neither had he an overcoat. In
his bedroom were found papers to-
gether with an envelope marked: ITO
be opened after DEATH"

to maintain them is absolutely essen
tial to the reclamation Of the arid
west.
This use OF a forest, however, is not
at all inconsistent with its use for
many purposes. LAUNDERING, when
rightly done. is an advantage, not
detriment. Grazing, when regulated,
does not injure the forest, and pros
pecting. locating. and developing mines
are not interfered with by reserve re-
strictions. Thus the government, in
establishing reserves, in no sense
contrary, while all their present uses
are continued, their greatest power
for good is kept from injury, and is
increased in value by the wise and
careful protection afforded by reserve
management. Only under such man.
agement can these forests most eff
fectvely aid irrigation in reclaim
ing thousands of square miles of
waste lands, and in building homes
over vast areas hitherto regarded as
impossible Of settlement.
The bureau of forestry has had dur
ing the past summer Is agents in the
field investigating actual and proposed
forest reserves. If they discover that
agricultural lands, or lands more val
liable for other purposes. have been in

they find land which will be more use
full when reserved than when not re-
served they will recommend that it
be added to an adjacent reserve or
form a new one.
Often the hardest task of the bureau |
agents is in recOnciling conflicting To- |
cal interests. Sheep and cattle men |
may be disputing over the same graz
ing grounds. or each class may be at
war over individual grazing rights.
Again owners of farms or of water
power plants may object to any graz
ing in the forests, lest the water sup
ply be injured. In all such cases the
bureau experts must examine and re-
port on every phase of the question,
that so far as possible, absolute JUS
tice may be done to all interests In

creasing reserve areas temporary To-
cal injury to some interest is some
times inevitable. This is most UNI
fortunate, but these occasional in
jures can not weigh against the i'm
portance of the general purpose of |
forest reserve establishment.
In all of this work one large fact is
to be recognized. 1t is that in the
execution of the policy of reserving |
from private acquisition such parts of
the public domains as are suited to
forest growth and most useful under
permanent forests, a far-reaching and
beneficent policy is being carried out.
Under it the government is acting to
secure perpetually in the interests of
the whole people vast wealth. prOdu- !

lands they had bought.
There was a general uprOar when
known. Each man wanted to tell his
troubles, and at the same time was I'M
willing to allow the prisoner to be
taken away until he had made good his
alleged offers. The officer describes
the occurrence as a little less than a
small mob demonstration. He feared
for awhile that he would be compelled
to use force to take Hllman away, so
anxious were his patrons to get at him.
He was finally slipped through a
door and taken to the street down the
elevator. He was at once taken into
Justice GOrdon's court and his bonds
fixed at $500, and he was then released

Tell Bunco Story.
The compliments against Hillman
are j. H. Cam and Frank Hemlow, who
allege that each of them was buncoed
out of $3.50 by Hillman and his chief
lieutenant, Lawrence S. Forrest. A
complaint has also been sworn out
against Forrest, and he will be arrested
when he is located.
The men allege that they came to
Seattle two weeks ago and saw adver-
tisements in which Hillman was ass
ing for foremen of various ware
houses he alleged he owned. They ap-
piled for the jobs and were told that
they could have them. 1t was required,
however. that they should first pur-
chase land in the Garden of Eden addi-
ton. They agreed to make the pur-
chases, and each paid down $3.50 in
cash. Then they We're told that they
could go to work the next day.
They started for their work, but
were unable to find that Hillman
owned any warehouses where he said.
They complained, and were sent to do
carpentering work for which they were
to get 500 a month. They were sur
prised a second time when they found
no work to do.

Complaints were sworn to in the

The officers who are investigating
the case say that when the case is

money on various kinds of promises
none of which have any semblance of
being fulfilled.

REAL ESTATE MAN ARRESTED
Clarence D. HiIlman Charged With

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2.-Clarence
D. Hillman, real estate broker, and the
owner of the Garden of Eden addition,
was placed under arrest by Detectives
Wappenstein on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
When the warrant was served upon
him in his office, Hillman made no re-
sistance, but a number Of his clients
did. The expose of Hillman's alleged
fraudulent methods in securing buyers
for his lots in the Garden of Eden Ad
dition brought a score or more of Hill
mans patrons to his Office to make in
quiries as to how they stood, and what
chance they had to get back the money
they had paid in.

A Famous Sauce,

In many instances limitations of
food product have injured the sale of
the genuine article. A notable excep-
ton is that of Lea and PERKINS,
original Worcestershire Sauce.
Those who have ever used the genuine
cannot be misled by any of the many
limitations on the market. Lea and
PERKINS, Worcestershire has been in
demand at every high class hotel and
restaurant in Europe and America for
more than sixty years.
The vast demand for this condiment
has led other makers to place inferior
articles on the market, labelled "Wor-
cestershire Sauce" Many of these
sauces have been found prejudicial to
the health of the consumer.
Lea and PERKINS, sauce adds a
delicate piquancy to the flavor Of cold
meats, salads. rarebits and the dishes
loved by the epicure. In the opinion
of many lovers Of hearty food no
steak, chop or curry is fit to be served
without a dash of Lea and PERKINS,
sauce. 1t is claimed, and in the
opinion of experts, justly, that this
sauce aids digestion and helps the
hearty diner to assimilate his meal.
A dash Of the sauce in a breakfast
dish adds zest to the appetite. The
sauce is in great favor with lovers of
crabs. Holsters and shell fish.
1t is to be found on every dining
car, steamship table and trans-At-
lantic liner In service. This is an
| indisputablesa rgument as to its popu-
lar favor.
