POACHERS' SP0|LS
REVEAL CRIME

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2o.-A carload
of elk horns, heads. hides, scalps and
teeth, consigned to A. G. Booth &
Co, taxidermists. of this city, was
confiscated today by County Game
Warden w. B. Morgan. The car was
seized at the Salt Lake freight depot.
William Binkley and Charles Purdy,
poachers in the Yellowstone National
Park, who, it is claimed. were impli-
Gated in the killing of the game war
den there last month, and A. G.
Booth were arrested on charge of vio-
lating section of the Lacey act Bail
was fixed by the United States Com
missioner at $4,000 in each case.
Binkley and Purdy were lodged in
the County Jail.
This is the third shipment from
poachers that has been conf1scated.
The report is that the poachers
have been making wholesale slaugh-
ter of elk in. Yellowstone Park and
1t Is expected that the trial will prove
sensational. Several witnesses are to
be brought from Idaho and Wyoming
The preliminary examination is set for
December II.
The floor was torn up in vacant
storeroom adjoining the taxidermist's
establishment and there was found a
quantity of elk hides hidden there,
which will prove convincing evidence
against Booth. The consignment
seized today represented $50 elk and
is worth $4,000. 1t was the largest
confiscation of its kind ever made in
the United States.

WAT TTERsON POINTS
WAY TO HEARST
SPECIAL D1spAroH TO THE CALL.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Nov. 2o.-Apropos
of William r. Hearst's statement in
an interview yesterday that he will
never again be aApolitical candidate.
Editor Henry Watterson in the Cour-
ier-Journal today publishes an editorial
entitled, Editor in Politics. in which
he says:
Disinterestedness is the soul of
journalism. self-seeking is an unfor-
givable offense when it can be clearly
established. He who wins the popular
confidence must give hostages for his
sincerity. This the militant editor can
never do. He has already an office
and a function closely connected with
the public service. Why should he
wish to quit this to rattle around in
Congress. TO play Governor or Senator,
even to be President? On the threshold
he is questioned as no other candidate
is questioned. II he wins he must
cease to be an editor, or remain an
interested editor, or very poor ed
itor, open to every manner of suspicion
and distrust.'

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-There has
been so much general and local inter
est in the manner in which fire insur-
ance companies handled losses grow
ing out of the great fire and preceding
earthquake in San Francisco and other
California points last spring that Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor Metcalf
has determined to have an official in
vestigation made. He has accordingly
issued necessary orders to Commission
er of Corporations Garfield, who will
superintend the work.
The California end of the inveStiga-
tion, which will probably be the most
important part, will be in charge of
George E. Butler Of Ross, Cal, who has
been specially selected for the task be-
cause of his wide knowledge of fire
insurance business in all its phases,
gained during thirty-eight years of
active connection with 1t until he re-
tired about a year and a half ago.
The investigation will bring to light
what companies made good their losses
in full, what percentage of losses was
met by other companies, to what ex
tent the so-called earthquake clause
in many fire insurance policies was
taken advantage of. and other features
of the fire insurance situation and its

the Pacific Coast.
Secretary Metcalf expects that con-
siderable good will result from the in
vestigation by reason of publicity that
will be given to operations Of fire in
surance companies. Coincident with
Metcalf's order 1t was suggested in
some quarters that the Commissioner
of Corporations has no authority to
deal with insurance. but it was pointed
out at the department that under the
act creating 1t there can be no doubt
of the Commissioners right to investi-
gate corporations engaged in insur-
ance as well as all other interstate cor
porations.

ODELL'S CAMPAIGN
CRITICIZED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-Timothy L..
Woodruff delivered a singing rebuke
today to former Governor Odell. who
had characterized the management of
the Republican campaign as Jasmine"
during Woodruff's absence in the Ad-
irondacks last week.
ST am anxious to avoid saying any
thing tending to perpetuate lack of
harmony in the Republican party
Woodruff said. but such criticism,
couched In choicer language, might
better have come from some other than
my predecessor. a former Governor of
the State. in view of the fact that his
county. the county Of Orange, showed
such a tremendous loss that, had the
same prevailed in the other counties
of the State, our candidate for Gov
ernor would have been overwhelmingly
defeated.
The only legacies Odell left his sue
cessor as chairman of the State COM
mittee were debts to the amount of
about $4,000 to be paid and factional
disturbances to be pacified.

interest me in the least particle.

He told me that the girls had abused
his wife until they got the money order

SEATTLE, July 9.-Murder in the
first degree will be the charge against
Chester Thompson. aged 20 years, son
of Will Thompson of this city, who shot
Judge G. Meade Emory to death at his
home Saturday night.
Judge Emory died early this morn

Yesterday he gave to his former law

shooting.
The plea of the defense will be in

the accused youth for Charlotte Whit

during the past two years.
