Now the president has renewed the
fight from headquarters. Some of Mr..
Longs books, it appears, have been
adopted as supplementary readers in
public schools. The president also has
written nature books. of 4 kind, but
these have not been adopted as school
readers. probably because the young
idea learns how 10 shoot too early any

Roosevelt Is highly indignant that

he declares, is a mathematical impOs-

Frequenter of the Woods.

Twelve seasons he has spent in tho
woods of northern Maine. one in the
unknown interior of Newfoundland,
three in the Miramichi valley of New
Brunswick. two in the forests of Que
bee. one in northern Nova Scotia, three
in the Black forests of Germany and
the others scattering. His purpose in

when l was four years old. was
very much afraid of the woods, but
there was always something there
which fascinated me. When l was
missing it was in the woods that
would be sought
1t IS Mr.. Longs custom to take long
trips alone into the big woods. Some
times he is accompanied by guide
and sometimes in late years by his
wife and little daughter. When it Is
necessary to shoot animals for food he
does so, but not otherwise. One OF
the points he makes in his controversy
with the president is that a true nat
uralist never kills for the fun or sport
of killing. He calls Mr.. Roosevelt d
hunter and not naturalist.
The president asserts that Mr.. Long
judging from his animal stories. has
not seen the wild things at all or has
seen them only superficially. Mr.. Long
makes the claim that a man can SET
more deeply when he walks unarmed
into the woods and watches the wild
things quietly than when he goes

In middle western state. where
bullfrogs are supposed to abound, one
of Mr.. Longs books was excluded
from the public schools because it con-
tanned Il story of Il frog that caught
and swallowed a sparrow. The board
couldn't swallow the story, though
there was the preachers own word

RUFF STILL EVADES ARREST
Federal Court Denies Writ of ProhI-
bitiOn and Attorneys File Bill
with state Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7.-Mayor Eu-
gene Schmitz appeared before Superior
Judge Dunno today and pleaded not guilty
to four indictments charging him with ex-
tortion, By agreement of counsel next
Monday was designated as the time when
date for his trial will be set
Success was with the prosecution at al
most every turn in today's Developments
In the Ruef extortion case. The most
notable instance was in the district court
of appeals, where Justices Cooper, Hall and
Kerrigan denied Ruef's application for a
writ of prohibition 10 restrain Judge Dunno
from hearing any Of the proceedings against
Ruef in the superior court pending the
determination of the accused mans appeal
to the supreme court Of the United States
for a permanent writ OF error. the effect
OF which, II granted, would be to summarily
postpone the entire prosecution.
While the attorneys for Ruef, who is
still in hiding, supposedly in or near San
Francisco, were hopefully awaiting the de-
cision of the appeal court, Judge Dunno
proceeded with the two cases of perjury
and conspiracy against Ruef and Chief
of Police Dinan. He was obdurate 10 the
endeavors OF Attorney Shortridge TO win
delay for Ruef. Motions TO strike the case
from the files and to set aside the indict-
ments were denied. and to escape the i'm
minent necessity of pleading at once Ruef's
counsel entered a demurrer which had
been previously prepared to meet this
emergency should 1t arise. Arguments on
this were set for tomorrow morning.
