bureau is rot equipped to give the
detailed and especially technical
and scientinc attention necessary
to prevent waste and the ultimate
destruction of the forests. The
forest service is organized with the
view of not only protecting and max
ing the most of the forests as they
now exist, but to assure that
when big trees are cut down seed
legs will be put in their places.
Accordingly it has been proposed
that the forest service be given to
the widest possible authority.
There is a vast area in the aggre-
gate forests within the Indian res
erVations and nowhere has the waste
of timber been more reckless than
there. ]
: State Forester GriAiths, of Wis
consin, has been here conferring
with the interior department about
the proposed change. Wisconsin is
one of the few states that have es-
tabtished state forest reserves, New
York being the most important Of
these, with Wisconsin, close second. ]
Mr.. Griffiths recommended the plan.
of placing reservation numbering
under the national forest service.
Indian Commissioners Leupp was
asked whether his bureau would be
willing to accept such an arrange
ment and he acquieshed, realizing
that it was the most feasible and
economical method of accomplishing
the desired result. This removed
one of the serious obstacles. The
question now is whether legislation
will be needed to make the transfer
of authority. If possible, it will be
done by executive order.

OFFICERS
FIGHT LOTTERIES

CHICAGO, April 1O-What is said to
be the largest aggregation of lottery
agents ever assembled In one court
room will face Judge Bethea I'm the
| United States District Court tomorrow
morning. Thirty-four agents, charged
with representing a California lottery
company all under indictment for con-
spiracy against the lottery laws, and
David II. Jones, head of the company,
will be arraigned.
Indictments were returned by the
March grand jury and the defendants
have been gathered up by the Federal
officials and shipped to Chicago as fast
as apprehended. The prosecution fol-
lows a spectacular raid upon the Chi
cagO Office OF the concern last Novem-
Der, in which tickets, drawing sheets
and much other discriminating evil
,dence, including a list of agents, were
confscated.
The California lottery company was
known in Chicago as Sharrin a. Co. 1t
is one of the three largest lottery con-
Germs in the country. This prosecution
follows closely the pursuit of the Hon
duras and Kentucky concerns.
1t is asserted by Federal officials
that millions Of dollars have been tab
en- from suckers. Jones, it is claimed,
has cleared more than S2,OOO,O 900 him-
self, but has lost it in Board of Trade
speculation. Secret service men who
had been working on the Honduras and
Kentucky lotteries came to Chicago
and worked up the cases here.

ANCIENT SHIP
ESCAPES ICE

VICTORIA, B. c., April "a
Latest reports from the North con-
Arm the word brought by Captain
Jarvis, of the r. N. w. M. p, that
the gforgotten exploration ship,
Investigator. has freed herself from
the ice and Is now being towel by
one of the steam whaling fleet in
the direction Of Bering straits,
whence it is hoped to bring her
down to San Francisco and place
her on exhibition as one of the
greatest Of marine curiosities.
1t Is highly improbable that there
ever has been a story to parallel
that of this old British warship
now beating her forgotten path
back to civilization for the first
time since she sailed through Ber-
ing straits into the unknown polar
seas and icy shadows more than
Sc years ago. Since Sept. 81, 1851,
II. M. S. Investigator has been
frozen in in Merry bay, Boring isl
and, in the interminable lacework
of land ami sea to the north of
British North America. 1t was as
commander of this famous old ship
that Sir Robert LIE Mesurier Nc
Clure made his memorable voyage
and discovered the Northwest pas
sage.
The last that the other ships Of
the squadron saw of the Investiga-
tor was on Aug. 6, 1850, when she
was seen running northeast. round
ing Point Barrow, in what was then
Russian America, or Alaska.

WASHINGTON ST. BRIDGE
CRASHES OVER FALLS
Temporary Crossing Gone but New
One Is Ready for Use.

Pedestrians are allowed to use it
already. Except for the work Of
laying asphalt on the bridge, and
the building of the necessary rail
Ing along the sides, the structure is
about completed.
The high water wrought other
havoc along the line of bridges.
Although it was several days ago
that the McGoldrick log boom
broke, yet logs continue to come
down. After carrying away the
false work of the concrete bridge
they smashed against the false
work under the new Stevens st.
bridge. This morning it was dis
covered that nothing was left of
the false work under this structure.
The work Of building here has so
far progressed that the damage will
not retard operations.
When the debris was swept
away from Stevens st. it formed
into a mass and hammered down
stream to Howard St. where it
battered the under structure of the
frail bridge that was erected in
place of the one knocked down by
the w. w. p. cars. This morning
workmen got busy and relieved the
bridge of the strain by casting the
logs loose. In order TO save the
bridge as much as possible from
the vibration caused by the w. w.
P. cars in passing over it, tons Of
old pavement and rocks were haul
ed to it and placed upon 1t. This
is a dangerous weight for it to car
ry, yet bridgemen say it is safer
than the vibration caused by con-
tinuing to run the cars.
The river has now reached It's
average height for this time of the
year. 1t is not expected 1t will
get much higher. Commissioner
ONO this morning stated that ex-
ira precautions from now on will
be exercised at the Howard st.
structure.

Detective Bob" Briley has cele-

and his work with capture that
Is considered by other officers of
the force to be the best of the
year. Today, with the assistance
of Supt. Stauffer, OF the Merchants
police, he landed Rem McCammon,
ex-convict, loaded down with
jewelry that 1t is believed he stole
here.
For more than month the po-
lice have been after a man of Nc
Cammon's description. Every few
days there would be daylight
robbery reported, and invariably
the description of the person who
was seen at the time would be the
same. This description has been
handed to the police day after day.
Just after noon today Briley
caught sight Of McCammon and at
once recognized him as answering
the descriptions. Briley. on ac-
count of recent operation for ap-
pendicitis, cannot much more than
walk, SO he secured the aid OF
Stauffer, who made the arrest.
Part OF the jewelry taken from
McCammon has been identified as
stolen the other day from r. w.
Smarts' residence.

The temporary Washington St.
