San Francisco, Dec. s.-A bitter and
indicative attack made upon Heney,
with the excoriation of the Schmitz
board of boodling supervisors, were
the features of Attorney Ach's closing
argument in the Ruef trial today.
Ach declared Ruef had been killed
politically to satisfy the agitation Of
others. He scored Spreckles for con-
tributing money to the graft prose-
cut'on. and compared Gallagher, the
principal witness for the prosecution,
to a parrot.
What was it that caused the great
fortune to crawl forth from the iron
vaults of Rudolph Spreckles to cause
such misery" asked Ach.
How was it that Spreckles through
Heney and Langdon declared to the
world, 4 am omnipotent. Come to
me for immunity
who made Spreckles God Almighty
of San Francisco? Spreckles him.

Washington, D. c., Dec. S.-A new
policy of giving the federal govern
ment absolute control over all
streams, forests and mineral reserves
by creating an interstate conservation
commission. was advocated by Gov
ernor Chamberlain today in an ad-
dress to the joint conservation con-
gress. He recommended the abolish
ing of state lines in the administra-
ton of national resources, called upon
the governors Of every state to join
IN his policy and promised coopera-
tion on the part Of the west.
"We probably can agree upon one
point he said, that the conservation
of our natural resources is necessary
to the well being of the country, the
protection of generations yet unborn
and the perpetuation of our institu-
tions. As to the means to be adopted
we may differ"
He reviewed the creation of the ma
tional conservation commission by
Roosevelt and declared that the ques-
tions as to what policy ought TO be
adopted for the future was paramount
before the present congress.
/. Chamberlain said: zone of two
policies must be adopted in order TO
succeed
There must be either a national or
state policy. That the power of con-
gress is supreme regarding soil. mines.
forests. streams and tributary naviga-
BILE waterways, there is no question" :"
He quoted decisions of the United
States sureme court to show the ex-
tent of the jurisdiction of the nation
al government over navigable water
ways.
Continuing he said: "If this power
of jurisdiction is recognized. may ii
not be insisted that it is within the
powers of congress to enact a uniform
code, not only to safeguard the wa
ters tributary to navgable waterways,
but to provide for the distribution of
such waters for beneficial use in
Ni' ~ 'AilhNl'il va Ailt al W anu oNlill-

Chamberlain said: "Why may not
laws be passed creating an interstate
commission. authorizing

ion and kindred subjects making ap-
