Soldiers Give Up Hope of Finding Body of F
P Shepherd and Dogs Will Be Put on Scent

to the Yosemite valley and given tc
the hounds as their incentive to the
search.
1t can then be determined whether
the instinct of a dog, melted by the
faint odor on a glove, will be suffi-
cient TO accomplish what a battalion
of troopers and a large party of anX-
ious and determined men has failed
to do.
On June Il Shepherd left the floor OF
the Yosemite valley to climb Sentinel
dome. He started with a party of tour
lists. AS the party started to ascend
the mountain they were combateC
by stormy weather and fogs and the
members. with the exception of Shep-
ard decided to turn back. The young
jeweler persisted in his climb. He has
not been seen since. 1t is feared either
that he fell over cliff or lost his way
in the fog and could not return to the
floor of the valley. The missing man
was confronted with death from hun
ger. exposure and exhaustion.
BROUGHT FROM EAST
Shepherd had been in this city since
1902, when he was brought from the
east by Shreve & Co. After the fire
he made trip to England to visit his
family, and later returned to his local
position. He has been living at the
Concord hotel, 2302 Clay street, and
was popular with his friends and as
sociates. His closest friends, however
were the Rices.
Shepherd was as noble fellow as
ever drew breath" said DR. Rice last
evening. Although but 25 years OF
age he had for number of years been
the sole support OF his sister, Mrs
Margaret Lewis of MozalIs, Birming-
ham, Eng, and her two children. They
were his only relatives and he de-
voted his whole life TO their welfare
He was of decided literary turn
and had written a number of poems
and essays. which were published in
English periodicals. While in San
Francisco he attended the night school
regularly. and recently had been de-
voting his evenings TO the study OF
French"
On the evening Of Shepherds disap-
pearance DR.. Rice was at his mine on
the northern rim of the valley near the
Mariposa group of big trees. He did
not know that Shepard was in the val
ley and heard nothing of his disap-
pearance until he reached Oakland yes
terday. He reported that it was snow
ing hard in the mountains the night
Shepherd was lost
1t was reported from the Yosemite
valley last evening that the cavalrymen
who had been searching for Shepard
returned to their camp discouraged
They had not found a trace of the
young man. Twenty-Five of the soldiers
went as far as Illilouette canyon. but
TO no purpose. 1t is feared that the wild
canyons bordering the valley have
claimed another victim.

Charge of midnight Confer

to Senate

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The amend
ment of the senate tariff committee
taking hides from the free list and
restoring the Dingley law rate of Is
per cent ad valorem was before the
senate all day.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and
Senator Carter of Montana supported
the provision and in vigorous Ian
guage attacked the attitude of the free
hide advocates, while Senator Page of
Vermont defended the action of the
house on the placing of hides on the
free list.
Warren declared that the senate had
been insulted by the charge that the
Dingley provision had been inserted as
the result of a midnight conference and
he declared that free raw material
would be the death knell of the protec-
tive policy if it should be adopted.
Carter asserted that if the farmers
were to be compelled to sell their
products in the open market they
would demand the right to buy manu-
featured articles in the same kind of
market.
