(By Associated Press)

DENVER, Aug. 21-Further desul-
tory debating in the forest reserve con-
troVersy marked the last hours of the
transmississippi commercial congress
and with the adoption of a resolution
prepared by Thomas Patterson, former
United States senator from Colorado,
adjournment took place.
one Of the last acts was the adoption
Of a resolution calling on congress to
repeal the ten cents per pound tax on

lection voiced by the dairy interests,
but this faded away when the oleOmar-
garine representative offered no OBJ
lection to the retention of the oleomar-
garine stamp on all imitation butter
The Patterson resolution calls on
congress for action defining the bound
aries of the forest reserves in such a
manner as to exclude mineral and agri-
cultural lands.
Frank GoWdy of Denver considered
the resolution inferred an attack on
Clifford Plnchot, head of the forestry
bureau, and opposed the resolution
1t was not until a resolution com
mending the forestry bureau was
adopted the Patterson resolution was
accepted and peace was declared.
The next convention, the short ses-
sion, will be held in San Antonio, Tex,
in November, 1910.

entry of domestic products exported

Rush Work Now Under Way on Big
Miner Concession of 1853 Acres,
Which Faces o. the outer
Harbor
Especial to The Herald.l ]

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 21.-The task of
dredging deep channels and building
mammoth slips to accommodate the
shipping of the world at San Pedro har-
Dor in the future viii be assisted by
the work which will be undertaken by
Greater Los Angeles, but even at the
present time there is being pumped out
from the harbor a considerable volume
of sand and silt, the major portion of
the work being done by private cor
porations.
Besides the dredger San Pedro
working on the turning basin, the
dredger Pacific is pumping around the
southerly end of Mormon island and the
clamshell dredger Golden Gate is work
ing on the easterly side of the island
At Wilmington, the North Pacific is
working at the foot of Water street,
for the Wilmington improvements. In
the outer harbor the new dredger of
the outer HarbOr Dock and Wharf
company is now ready to begin its
work of digging the big channel on
the east side of the 153 acres now owned
by Randolph II. Miner and the Union
Oil company. This gigantic undertake
ing will be rushed along according to
the plans contemplated by the COM
pany, much valuable land for ware
house sites, factory sites and other pur-
poses being made.
on the east side of the harbor the
rock wall of the Pacific Wharfage and
Storage company is almost completed
around the eighty-siX acres, which has
partially been reclaimed. The intention
now is to obtain permission from the
war department to remove a portion of
the east jetty to Deadmans island and
dredge five slips into the concession.
Some difficulty has been encountered
around Mormon island where the
dredger Pacific is operating, as old
barges used years ago to lighter the
coal in from the foreign ships, which
then came to this port. are in the mud
and much dynamite and labor will be
required to remove the distractions.

RALPH LEAVITT WINS
HABEAS CORPUS CASE
AUTOMOBILE MANS RELEASE
ORDERED BY JUDGE
Attorney E. J. Fleming Successfully
Contends That Governors Sigma
ture Was Necessary on the
Warrant

The formal release of Ralph j.
Leavitt, arrested on a governors war
rant as a fugitive from justice from
Seattle. where he was charged with
manslaughter, was ordered by Judge
Davis of the criminal court yesterday.
Leavitt came before the court Oh
habeas corpus proceedings, his attor-
ney. E. j. Fleming, Contending that
the governors warrant was invalid be
cause it was not signed by Governor
Gillett but by his secretary, and fur
ther that the complaint filed against
Leavitt in the Seattle court was in
sufficient
Judge Davis granted Leavitt's appli-
cation for release on the first conten-
ton, declining to rule on the suft1-
cheney of the complaint, because, he
said, the Seattle courts would not con
slider such a ruling as binding. He
stated, however, that he was strongly
inclined toward the belief that the com
plant was wrongfully prepared, indi-
eating that, should further efforts be
made on a properly prepared warrant
to take Leavitt back to Seattle on a
manslaughter charge, his release would
again be ordered.

of the girls to escape from the school
have been frequent, and number have
gone to Kansas City, where efforts to
locate them have proved futile

kell, said today that it was the belief
at the school that a regular traffic had
existed for some time in the girls at
Haskell.

divulged the fact that Indian girls were
being taken there from reservations as
well as from the school here.

investigate the matter.
