Attorney Wise on its trail The Cosmo-

yesterday by Thomas r. Harmed. law
yer Of Philadelphia. who was indicted
with directors and officers of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company on the
charge OF conspiracy in restraint Of trade
in violation of the sherman act The
Indictment as TO Mr.. Harmed was thrown

The story in which the letter from At

20 Mr.. Harmed which the latter regarded
as libellous. II was in the account writ

made by the American Sugar Refining
Company which resulted in the shutting
down OF the Pennsylvania Sugar Rein

Mr.. Norcross, il was said at the office

back in his file it would have been neces-
sary to do so AT night. when watchmen
were on duty. His offices were being re-
decorated while he was in Europe, and
were not occupied by any official Of the
government.
The general files, in which the letter
was found a week or so ago. are kept In

son who took the letter. finding he could
not put IL back where IL had been,

Mr.. Wise, since the letter was taken,
has kept his correspondence in safe.
The only copy Of the wickersham letter

The manual tain ing department will be under the di- rect supervision of F. c. Johnson, who is d graduate of the Oklahoma normal school, and who is already here look ing over the details and planning his work. Professor H. c.

Ashurst is a graduate of the Chico normal school of California, and also Wards business college. The course in com mercial lines will be very practical, and will be open to those who desire to take up stenography as well as typeWriting. Of course, there will be a regular commercial course, and the two mentioned subjects will be only supplementary. Superintendent Rob- ertson has the work well under way

The schools in the other districts are held at some university, and many of the courses are given by university instructors who conduct such work as does not re- quire familiarity with technical for est matters. In the Flagstaff school instruction is to be given entirely by officers of the forest service.
 While the course in theoretical for estry are given careful attention the greatest stress is put upon instruc- tiOn along practical lines, such as surveying. estimating timber, mapping, road and trail making, office routine. camp practice and packing and the men will put into actual practice un- der field conditions, the theories and principles taught in the lectures.
 The student body of this school Is composed entirely of rangers from the twenty-one national forests in the southwest. owing to the press of work on the national forests only forty rangers can be spared for instruction at this time.
 The school is under canvass and is located at a point near FlagstaFf known as Fort Valley. The govern ment has provided q pretty little tent city which serves as an illustration of a model camp. At the first term of the school. which opened this morn ing will be given by the following of ficers of the forest service: Dis trict forester, A. c. Ringland; grazing inspector, J. K. Campbell A. B.
