SHEEPMEN SUE ROOSEVELT.
Seek to Enjoin Him From EnIarging
California Forest Reserve.

Reno, New, Sept. 11.-For the first
time in the history of this country, a
United States president and other Fed
eral officials are being sued to prevent
the government from withdrawing tim
Der lands for government reserves. In
the Federal court at Carson City today
the case of the Eureka Livestock com
pany against President Roosevelt Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson, Chief
Forester Pinchot and Forester Barnett
is being argued, attacking the right of
the defendants to withdraw for forest
preservation purposes a large portion
of the Monitor forest, in Eureka
county.
The plaintiffs say they were grazing
about 10000 sheep on the reserve be-
fore it was withdrawn, and now they
are refused that right.

POlYGAMlS rs SHUT OUT.
Secretary Straus Approves Action on
Mormon Immigrants.

Washington, Sept. 8. - Secretary
Htraus yesterday approved the action
or the local immigration officials at
Boston in the so-called Mormon cases,
wherein a number of immigrants were
hcld up on the allegation of entering
the country in violation of law. Mr.,
Straus said that the two cases of ex.
cIuSlon were on the grounds, as to one,
Sf admission of belief in polygamy, and
as to the other, of physical and other
reasons. A number of other cases have
been held up for further investigation.
Lively interest has been taken in
these cases, on account of the question
OF Mormonism, but Mr.. Straus said that
the decision in all of them was wholly
regardless of the question of Mormon
religion; that the question of polvgamv
was one specifically provided for bv
law, and that his action in the matter
followed the plain provisions of the
statutes.
Senator Smoot had conference with
the secretary on the subject, and Sen
ator Sutherland and Governor Cutler,
OF Utah, have telegraphed to the de-
partment, expressing their views and
desire for the treatment of the immi.
grants without regard to the religion
involved.

TEST NEW WOODS.
Government May Introduce New Zea-
land Forest Trees.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Far-o off New
Zealand is the latest country to which
forest experts have turned in seeking
substitutes for the valuable American
woods used by the furniture, cooper
age, implement and similar wood
using industries.
Manufacturers in this country have
been facing a constantly decreasing
supply of available hardwood timber
tor number of years, and the time is
already at hand when efforts must be
made to look to the preservation of
the American species most in demand
and to scOur foreign lands for trees
which may prove valuable as substi-
tutes.
Seven different New Zealand hard
wood trees have just been put through
series of tests by the United States
forest service in cooperation with the
university of California in the timber
testing laboratory at Berkeley The
trees showed UP remarkably we'll in
comparison with white oak, which is
one OF the strongest woods in the
United States, developing under test
when IN an air dry condition a crush
ing strength of $500 pounds per square
inch, and bending strength of 1900
pounds per square inch.

UNEMPLOYED RIOT.
Glasgow Socialists Incite Thousands
of Men to Violence.

Glasgow, Sept. 11.-Following a
night of rioting and fighting between
a mob of 1000 unemployed and mount
ed and foot police, this city today pre-
sents the spectacle of a town in the
throes of siege.
Hundreds of citizens are guarding
their property with firearms, fearing a
recurrence of the outbreak, and terror
stricken women and children have been
compelled to stay indoors all day.
Scores of houses are damaged, Win
dows are broken and the streets are
deserted but for strong police guard
that is making the rounds in military
fashion.
The trouble started at midnight. A
mob of unemployed under the leader
ship of Socialists who had infamed
them to action by violent speeches
made another onslaught on the aristo-
cratic section of the city. They raided
several shops at the foot of the hills
overlooking the wealthy quarter of the
city and started to pillage the houses
of the wealthy residents.
The police, aided by the household
ers, fought off the rioters until dawn,
when they were dispersed The num-
Der of injured is unknown. 1t is esti-
mated that there are between 25, 900
and 10000 unemployed in the city at
the present time.

NAVAL CRITICS REBUFFED.
Roosevelt Promptly Approves Plans
for New Battle ships.

Washington, Sept. s.-President
Roosevelt has approved the plans of
the proposed new battleships Florida
and Utah, which were authorized at
the last session of congress. In the
course of his examination he sought
the advice of Commander Sims and
Lieutenant Commander Albert L.
Key, who entertained what are re-
garded as radical opinions respecting
naval construction and who frankly
criticised some of the features of the
new ships. The prompt approval by
the president fthe plans is taken to
indicate that he was not deeply I'M
pressed with the arguments of the
critics.
1t is expected that advertisements
for bids for construction of the Utah
will be published in few days. That
vessel is to be constructed at a pri-
vate shipyard, while the Florida is to
be built at the Brooklyn navy-yard

PLANS AEROPLANE
FLEET FOR ARMY
Chief of Signal Corps Says All De.
pends on Wright Machine Tests
General Allen Will Ask Congress for
Money and Is Confident Lawmak
ers Will Be Liberal Toward the
Scheme If Ohio Avators Make
Good Their Claims.

Washington, Sept. S.-Sheud the
tests Of the Wright brothers aeroplane
prove successful, it is probable that
within one year the war department
will have fleet of aeroplanes as well
as fleet of dirgibles as an adjunct
for military warfare. Brigadier- Gen
eral Allen, chief of the signal corps,
believes congress will be liberal in its
appropriations if the tests are a sue
cess. A full report of both the dirgible
and aeroplane tests will be got ready
for submission when the $1,000,000 ap-
preparation for aeronautics comes up
for discussion.
1t is now fully realized by army
Officers that the United States is far
behind other countries in aeronautics.
While demonstrations have been made
abroad that air craft are an absolute
necessity in future warfare, no steps
have been taken here, and army ex-
perts are now anxious to make up for
lost time by quickly assembling an
aerial fleet.
When, on September 81 1907, it was
announced that the war department
would buy dirgible balloon and an
aeroplane, some persons believed the
plan would never materialize. Only sew
eral army officers who knew of the
future plans realized that an effort was
to be made to establish an aerial fleet
for the United States government.
1t is said at Fort Myers that Secre-
tary of War Wright has approved tho
request of Brigadier General Allen that
Captain Thomas S. Baldwin, who sold
dirgible No. l to the army, be hired
to supervise the transportation and ex-
hibition of the airship and the hydro
gen plant, which Captain Baldwin also
supplied to the government, to the mil
itary exposition at St. Joseph, Mo-,
which begins on September 81.
From st. Joseph the dirgible will be
taken to the Aeronautical and Signal
Corps school at Fort Leavenworth, in
command of Major Russell, and on the
completion of the modern balloon
house at Fort Omaha, about the middle
of next October, it will be taken there
permanently.

Washington, Sept. 1l.-Before leav-
ing for New York today, Judge Alton
B. Parker took cognizance of a report
that he would be willing to make the
race for governor of the state of New
York at the approaching election, and
said in so many words that he was not
so inclined. Judge Parker said: Il
am not willing to run for governor of
New York. do not feel that the sit
uation and the question sustained me
in saying more than it is my desire to
never again hold public office. My
friends, l felt, would understand that
l said precisely what meant, and my
answer was intended to inform them
and no one else"

CAPITAL SEES OPPORTUNITY
Mad Rush On to Invest in Turkey
Under New Regime.

Grand Marais, Mimi, on the north
shore, is in the clutches of the fire
demon. The people are in worse
straits than the range people, in that
they have no place to flee to. For
est fires are raging within a mile OF
the town.
Constantinople, Sept. 9-Believing
Turkish investments to be safe, for
the first time in the country's history,
and assured of a chance to make them
without paying blackmail in a dozen
directions, foreign capitalists agents
are literally stampeding into Con-
stantinople. Considering the stage
Of its civilization and its proximity
to the Occident, the sultan's realm
is regarded in Europe as the least
developed land on earth. The oppor-
tunity for reaping enormous returns
is deemed so bright that the influx
into the capital is reaching the pro-
portions of a miners rush to new
mineral field, or a settlers race for
farms in freshly opened American
government reservation.
Germany alone among the nations
was moderately represented before
the revolution. Teutonic interests are
still striving hard to hold their own
against the representatives of rival
countries, but the loss of prestige
they suffered with the old regimes
fall is handicapping them heavily.
They have an equal chance with
other prospective investors, and large
numbers from Berlin are joining the
contingent already in the field.

OIL BUBBLE PUNCTURED.
Seepage fsom Buried Fuel Tank
Causes Arizona Stampede.

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. S.-Seep-
age from a big crude oil tank. erected
at Yucca, Ariz., for replenishing the
fuel supply of Santa Fe locomotives,
is responsible for the oil frenzy which
during the past week has taken hun
dreds of excited people to that locality
from points hundreds of miles distant
Experts sent to the scene by the Santa
Fe Company traced the oil direct to the
tank, an analysis of the black fluid
skinned from the water in a well So
feet distant from the tank satisfying
even the most enthusiastic locators of
their mistake.
The desert had been staked out for
miles. All manner of vehicles had been
pressed into service, carrying people to
the field, and in many instances men
had sacrificed their property elsewhere
to be first on the ground.

Fewer Japs Come.

Washington, Sept. 11.-According to
official figures made public by Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Straus
today. the tide of immigration from
Japan has been checked until now it is
but one third of what it was year
ago. Japanese immigration for the
fiscal year 1907 was 10000, including
the japanese who went to Honolulu.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1908, immigration from Japan was 49,
900, of which $500 came to the main
land of the United States. The bureau
of immigration has estimated that s.,
71S japanese left the United States for
Japan and other countries, leaving the
net increase for the year but $500.
Of that increase but Is per cent are
laborers.
