SNAKE STORY
Quentin Roosevelt EnteftainS
Presidents Friends With
Living Snakes
Attorney General, Hepburn
and Other NOtables Failed
TO Appreciate Them

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S-A
house full of visitors at the White
House this morning saw snakes
real, live ones-and Quentin Roose-
cit, youngest son of the president,
had more fun, combined with disap-
pointment that some of those present
did not appreciate the reptiles, than
he has had all summer. .-
There is the highest authority in
the land for the statement that the
largest snake started to \eat one of
tie smaller ones right in the inner
Office of the White House, where ma
ture taking is held in utter abhor-
renee.
President Roosevelt was busy with
Attorney General Bonaparte when
Quentin, disregarding the specious
argument of Secretary Loeb that
perhaps haps the head of the depart
raent of justice didn't like snakes,
roller-skated in the private Office and
dumped wriggling mass of reptiles
from a bag upon his fathers mahog-
any desk. e. ~ ~
There were three of them and the
largest had partly swallowed one
of his companions. The little one
was recued.
Quentin wanted the attorney gen
era1 to take them in his lap, but the
buster of trusts and smasher of octo-
snakes. ."
'tBut these are nice snakes" said
Quentin, with pout, when the cab
met official limited that all snakes
looked alike to him.
A gentle parental admonition that
some folks who really were fond of
snakes We're in the next room sent
Master Roosevelt skating into the
cabinet chamber, where Representa-
tive Hepburn, former Representative
Lacey d. Iowa, and two others were
waiting to see the executive. T..
Hello" exclaimed Mr.. Hepburn,
with a smile, thinking the snakes
were of the India rubber kind found
in novelty stores. But he quickly
shifted when the youngster thrust
one of the smaller wrigglers into his
outstretched palm. Col Pete
jumped about four feet and dropped
the snake into Lacey's lap, Whereup-
on the latter fell out of his chair.
Just then the largest snake crawl
ed up Quentin's arm inside his coat
and the boy couldn't pull him back
because the snakes scales caught in
the clothes. When the president
looked In to see what was the trou-
BILE Representative Hepburn had re-
covered and very carefully was help
ing Quetin to remove his coat so
that the snake could be liberated.
Disguised with the lack Of apnre-
citation of snakes in high offlciaI life.5
Quentin made his exit through the
ante-room, dragging the snakes be-
hind and nearly driving the women
sightseeing contingent into Mysteries.

where the wreck occurred there is
sharp curve which prevents en-

Government Spent Day Get Get.
ting Dead Man Tangled Up
in Timber Deal

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 2S-When the
trial of U. S. Senator Borah was. re-
stunned today the attorneys of the gov
eminent continued their efforts to es-
talblish the connection Of former Gov
,ernor Steunenberg, with the timber
land conspiracy which it is said ex-
listed in this. state from 1901 to 1904.
"a. B. Campbell Of Spokane, a veal
thy mine owner who formerly resid-
ed in Idaho, was recalled ito the stand
to tell further of the conversation he
had with Albert e. Palmer, one Of
the alleged dummy trustees in the
handling of timber land claims.
Mr. Campbell, when approached by
former Governor Steunenberg with a
proposition to go into the lmber
land business, turned the matter ov-
er to Palmer who said he had veal
thy friends in wisconsin, already in
terested in the lumber trade. These
men were James Barber and Sumner
C.. Moon of Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
officers of the Barber Lumber com
pany, who operated and who are
Jointly indicted with Senator Borah,
Steunenberg and others.
Mention Of the Weyerheausers,
owners of vast timber lands in the
northwest. was made in the trial of
Senator Borah today for the first
time. This was when George S. Long
of Tacoma, Wash, took the stand
and stated that in response to re-
quest from James 7. Barber of Eau
Claire, Wis, he had allowed his name
to be used as a dummy trustee in the
acquisition of Idaho timber lands,
He produced a letter from Barber
making a proposition follows: s
tExigencies have arisen which will
make it desirable to pay titaohrdlu
make it desirable to pass title to
certain lands in Idaho through some
party entirely removed from assoc
citation with the Barber Lumber Co.
The circumstances being similar to
those which made 1t desirable to use
my name in connection with some of
the Weyerheauser timber company's
property, / have therefore, taken the
responsibility Of directing the plac-
ing of title to certain lands in YOU. =
Long said he had been a friend Of
Barber seventeen years. He receiv-
ed compensation for his services as
trustee never saw any of the deeds;
did not employ Senator Borah as
counsel, and never met the senator
until this year.
The attorney for the defense ask
ed Long what the texigencies' re-
ferred to by Barber meant,
s.I suppose, |" replied the witness,
they were the same as arose in
Washington when I was purchasing
property for the Weyerheauser and
when used Mr. BARRIERS name. The
Iuse of Weyerheauser's name in any
locality always sent prices up and
brought competition. 3

the siding however, had not been
turned and the train shot onto the
siding and into the freight. There
was scarcely time to apply the brakes
and no time for the enginemen to
jump. The two big engines were re-
duced to junk by the impact.
The worst damage was done to
the smoker which was telescoped so
completely by the baggage car that
every seat was broken out of the
coach. Every occupant of the smok-
er was badly injured. Passengers in
the other day coaches and two Puff
mans were tumbled from their seats,
but not seriously injured.
Engineer GiIbreath was burned to
crisp by the escape of steam. The
injured were taken to Glendale, W.
Va, and Bellaire hospitals.
Great difficulty was experienced in
removing the injured passengers of
the wrecked smoker. The work was
slow because every movement of the
debris caused someone to shrek with
pain, as the victims were tangled
in the mass of timbers and twisted
irons.
Among the passengers on the
wrecked train were members of the

"a copy of the warrant and habeas
corpus proceedings were then served
on Older and shown to the deputy
constable, Ben Cohn Of Los Angeles,

the Santa Barbara officers left the
train without resistance.
