Mr.. Barrett's Explanations.

Mr.. Barrett made explanations of his
connection with and action in all the fraud
order cases upon which the government
relies. The witness concluded his direct ex-
animation by saying:
General Tyner knew nothing regarding
the fees I received in the cases In which
figured before his Office. 1 really be-
lieved that my services were sought by
bond investment companies by reason of
my training as an expert in post office
laws. / had codified those laws. and think
L knew the subject as well as any man.
l was ambitious to be the best Informed
man on that subject in the United States
Il can see now, however. in the light of
experience. how it was unwise for me to
place General Tyner In a position where
Ii would appear that the honesty of his
purpose, because of my personal relations
with him was affected in any case in which
/ appeared before him. / should not have
done it
II hope II will not be necessary for us to
detain each other very long" Major Con-
rad remarked to Mr.. Barrett at the be-
ginning of the cross-examination of the
latter.
Under Discrimination.
The early life of Mr.. Barrett was again
reviewed. and his legal studies were dis
cussed. the object being evidently, to re-
hect on the witness ability as a LAWYER
Mr. Barrett finally admitted that he had
not equipped himself to be trial lawyer
and had not tried more than four or five
cases In his life.
The subject of the codihcation by Mr.
Barrett of the postal laws and regula-
lions was next taken up by Major Conrad
The witness was asked II he had been au-
thorized to incorporate In his work any
new matter not sanctioned by acts OF Con-
gress or the regulations OF the Postmaster
General. Some difficulty was experienced
In obtaining categorical answer. 1t
seemed to be the object OF the prosecution
to demonstrate that the task OF codfying
the laws was neither an unusual nor a diff
hcut one. Major Conrad wanted to know IL
the laws of the several states were not re-
vised every few years.

TO SWEAT MONEY
OUT OF SIUMPS
CAPITAL WILL
FIND UNIQUE INVESTMENT.
Company Already Operating Small
Plant at Hinckley, Has Made a
Good Profit-Products Are Tur-
pentine, Pine Tar and Pine Tar Oil.

Weyerhauser money is about to be-
come interested in the scheme to
manufacture turpentine, pine tar and
pine tar oil from the stumps Of cut
over timberlands in northern Mime
sofa.
For some time a company has been
operating at Hinckley, Mimi, with
considerable success. The company
pays So cord for pine stumps, or
agrees to clear mans land of stumps
in exchange for the stumps. But four
men are employed, and but two big
iron retorts operated, and these in the
open air. The profits, however, are
proving large. The Hinckley plant is
using SO cords of stumps month,
and securing a product Of 600 gallons
of oil, 1900 gallons of tar, and 900
gallons Of turpentine, worth altogether
between $500 and 5000. The expenses
are such as to leave a profit of from
$500 to $500 a month.
The Cloquet Lumber company,
owned by the Weyerhausers, has
about completed deal to secure a
controlling interest in the Hinckley
plant, and then will enlarge the bust
ness and operate it on large scale.

SCHEME WAS NIPPED
Il. j. Davenport's Name Was Used
Without His knowledge.

A rather bald scheme has come to
light whereby a. company called the
Gibbons Bill Posting company Is en-
deavoring to get business.
A letter was received this morning
by L. N. Scott, purporting to be signed
(typewritten signature) by E. j. Day.
export. secretary Of the late county re-
publican convention. The letter as
serted that enclosed resolutions had
been approved and adopted by the
county republican, convention.
The resolutions referred to were
supposed to have been passed by the
antitrust bill posters Of Minneapolis
at a meeting held at an unspecif1ed
date at 319 Hennepin avenue. They
assert, in brief, that whereas a trust
of bill posters has been formed in
both st. Paul and Minneapolis, the
antitrust posters declared against the
combine and asked the county repub-
lican convention also to declare
against it, and oppose party patron
age of the alleged trust
Mr.. Scott took the letter and in
closed resolutions to Mr.. Davenport
who says no such resolutions were
ever presented to the county conven.

that his name was SO used without
his knowledge or consent.

DEVIL FISH
Weighing Eighty Pounds Was Captured
by Tide Gauge.
Cav Er.o;soo cbronic,e


San Francisco Chronicle.
A devil fish has been caught under re-
markable circumstances at Port Simpson
by George Ridge, the officer in charge
Of the tide gauge which was established
there in November, 1902, by the tidal and
current survey branch Of the department
Of marine and fisheries, Ottawa.
The gauge is small self-registering in
strument placed in a sheltered box on a
wooden column or table we'll made of q
plank placed against the side Of the wharf.
This well is about Is inches square and
extends from about three feet above the
top of the wharf to five or six feet below
the level Of the low water. The we'll is
made watertight to keep out the wave
motion, with the exception Of a small in
let in one side near the bottom one-half
an inch in width. This admits the water
and also keeps out all foreign matter that
might interfere with the working Of a
six-inch copper float which is suspended
inside. This float is attached to one end
| of copper cord which passes over the
pulley wheel Of the instrument and on the
| other end is a counter weight of lead.
| For several weeks last December this
| cord was continually breaking and much
Of the record Of the tides was lost. Think
| ing that something must be catching the
| float as it rose and fell with the tide, the
observer in charge was ordered to oper
| the top of the column and ascertain the
trouble. Instead of finding something pro.
jecting from the side Of the well he dis.
covered a devil fish trying TO climb uI
| the sides. This at once explained the
breaking Of the wire. The octopus was
evidently catching the float and breaking
| the copper cord.
| After two hours hard fighting the octo-
| pus was nna1ly fshed out onto the whar.
by means Of spears. Its weight was eighty
| pounds, and the arms were from eight tt
! nine feet In length. The question is, how
did the octopus get there? The only open
ling was the one-half inch inlet at the bot
| tom Of the we'll The devil fish must have
got in when very small and kept on grow.
ing until he became strong enough to d.
! the damage mentioned.
The gauge has only been in operation
| one year, and, supposing the fish to have
/ been washed in when first placed there
/ its growth at that rate is about eight,
! pounds year. Another puzzle is wha
/ the devil fish lived on.

TIMBER TRESPASS
SUITS BY STATE.
ACTION is BEGUN ON CASES LONG
PENDING.
Several Gases of Actual Trespass Are
Charged, While Other Actions Are
to Collect Unpaid Balances OH Log
ging Permits - Log Purchasers
Made Codefendants.

Following the investigation Of the
state auditors department, made by
the public examiner under legislative
instructions, suits were begun today
by the state against several prominent
logging operators for alleged trespass.
In each case it is charged that the
timber involved was taken as long
ago as the Dunn authorship, and in
some cases today's legal action fol-
lows long negotiations looking to a
settlement.
The papers served today by Deputy
Sheriff George 10th cite the defend
ants to appear before Attorney-Gen-
eral w. j. Donahower and show cause
why they should not pay for lumber
cut on state lands. In some of the
cases the state alleges that the virgin
timber was cut without permission
and in others that the timber was
purchased from the state under con-
tract, but that only a part settlement
was made. The defendants have
twenty days to answer.
A joint summons was served on
Henry T. Brown, the Shevlin- Carpen-
ter Co.. and the Grand Rapids Log
legged that between November, 1899,
and April, 1900, they cut timber in
st. Louis county without obtaining g
contract. The state demands in pay
ment S2,0S4.40 and interest at pei
! cent.
Similar complaint Is made against
Henry r, Brown and the Shevlin-
Carpenter company to recover $371.41
for other timber cut in st. Loui!
county. .......
The other complaint is against r
H. Leach, Henry F. Brown and F. G
Barrows, who, 1t Is alleged, made {
contract with the state for certain
cutting privileges in Itasca county
agreeing to pay for all trees taken
The total amount said to be due thu
state was $1,S42.O9. OF this $945.9
was paid, but the defendants have re
fused to pay the balance.
) George S. Eddy, Of the Shevlin
Carpenter company, said this morning
that so far as his firm was concerne
1t bore no direct relation to the tres
passes alleged The logs involves

H. r. Brown, who had cut them, an
