SCHLEY PAYS TRIBUTE
TO FORMER ENEMY

Washington, April 5.-Rear Ad.
miral Winfield Scott Schley, u. s. n,
retired, who participated in the cap
ture of Admiral Cervera and his feet
out-ide Santiago harbor during the
Spanish American war and provided
one of the most thrilling chapters in
modern naval history, appeared deep
ly touched when told of the Spanish
admiral's death. He took occasion
to pay warm tribute to the chivai-
rous conduct and splendid character
of Cervera, when the latter was talk
en- prisoner.
We'll, / am very sorry 20 hear
that Cervera is dead" said Admir- i
Schley.- He was a grand Old man,
brave and gallant naval officer, and
in his death Spain loses one of her
most heroic naval figures. When he
attempted to sail out of the harbor
on that July Sd morning, Ceryera
understood the only course left 20
him, and he acted as wisely as any
other could have done under those
conditions.
1T was a case of measuring mis-
strength with that Of the enemy
and he was a man of great courage
and forti;ude. After his capture, he
resigned himself to the situation, and
he was deeply moved By the gentle
ness which marked his treatment by
the officers of our fleet.
The hostility which before had
been manifested toward him, was
transformed into charity and kind
ness, and everything was done to
comfort the old man in his sorrow -

FORESTS DAMAGED
BY PoRCUPINEs

San Francisco. April 5.-Repoyts
from Bishop. Inyo county. California.
indicates that porcupines are serious
ly damaging the lodgepole pine for
ests of the eastern slope OF the Sier-
ras. Practically the entire area Of
the Inyo National Forest has been
affected TO some extent. In many
localities the damaged trees aggre-
gate as high as % per cent OF the
total stand. While these areas are
not large. II is evident that IL some.
thing is not done TO curb the attack
much of the timber OF tina. section
will be killed.
The porcupine feeds to largs
extent during the winter months up-
on the inner bark of the pine. To
secure this he travels about upon the
snow, and completely grdles the
trees just above the snow line. OF
course. this results in tho death OF
the tree. The damage would not be
SO serious but for the fac that the
porcupine seldom makes two meals
OF the same tree, but prefers 20 viz |
several trees in the course IA night.
Since it's habits are nocturnal. hum
in gthis animal Is very difficult The
attention of the Forest Service has
been cal'ad 20 the ravages of these
animals, and plans for their exter-
mination are under consideration.

SOCIAL CLUBS
GIVEN HARD RAP
Extinction of Social Club

stitutional Grounds in the
Atkinson Appeal Case.

IN a decision rendered Saturday.
Judge Brannon. OF the supreme court
OF appea sustains Judge John T..
Wilkinson, of the Wayne-Logan cir
cult in the noted Everett Atkinson
case, involving the nstitutionality
OF the law licensing social clubs.
This case originated at Logan, as
the result OF numerous indictments
brought against Atkinson by the Lo-
gan county grand jury. The cases
were brought to trial at the January
term of the Logan circuit court. At
klnson was in charge of a social club
operated at Logan. and licensed un-
der the statutes pertaining to organ
iZations of this class. The indiot-
ments charged the illegal retailing
of intoxicants. In the trial the -
fendant did not attempt to evade The
fact Of sa' es having been made, eut
produced a license ald court records
as authority for the sales, Offering
>these in Justification.
Judge Wilkin0on instructed the
jury TO disregard these facts, AID
considered only that part OF the evil
dence establishing the fact that sales
had been made by Atkinson. while IN
charge Of the club. Acting under
these instructions, the jury returned
verdict of guilty, and Atkinson was
fined one hundred dollars, and SEN
fenced to ninety days in prison.
Notice of appeal was given, and
the sentence of the lower court sus-
pended awaiting the result of the
appeal Judge Brannon's action in
refusing a writ OF error, sustalns
Judge Wilkinson's position that the
law licensing social clubs Is unconst,-
tutional. The case will be reargue3
on April 10, and unless Judge Brar-
mons opinion shall be changed, AT
kinson will have to pay the severe
penalty imposed by Judge Wilkinson.
In the event Of Judge Brannon g

tBy Associated Press.J

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-TWO en-
listed men of the Pacific feet, George
H. Wheeler, a ship filter on the cruiser
Tennessee, and William H. Gowan'
boatswain on the cruiser Washington
were presented with medals by Rear
Admiral Swinburne yesterday in recog-
milton of signal courage displayed dur
ing the fire at Coquimbo, Chile, Janu-
airy 20, 1909.
The presentation was made on the
quarterback of the ship in each case
and with the crew in full dress uniform
drawn up to do honor to their COM
rades.
The cruisers were lying in Coquimbo
harbor at the time of the fire, and the
work of the bluejackets sent ashore TO
aid the fire fighters was all that saved
the town from complete destruction.
At one place two large tanks were
located one above the other, and it was
reported they contained gas or oil.
Undismayed by this, although the
flames were already licking the sides
of the tanks, Gowan placed a plank
against them and went to the top,
sailor-fashion.
After coolly investigating the interior,
he found that they were full of water,
and calling for an AK, he broke them
open, allowing the water to deluge the
fire.

DELEGATES AT DEL MONTE
TAKE IN SIGHTS
Boosters Are Guests of Monterey's
Chamber of Commerce and Are
Entertained on Junket
Trip

DEL MONTE, May 9.-This was en-
tertainment day for the delegates to the
eleventh semi-annual meeting of the
county committees of the California
promotion committee.
AS guests of Monterey chamber of
commerce and the Pacific Grove board
of trade the boosters" their wives ana
daughters went on a sightseeing eXcur-
sion in Monterey and vicinity, and were
treated at the noon hour to a musical
bake at Pacific Grove.
Automobiles were provided for the
visitors and numerous parties took a
spin around the 17-mile drive and Wis
tied the old San Carlos mission and
other historic points.
Most Of the delegates returned to
their homes on this evenings trains.
Much that will inure to the benefit of
the state at large was accomplished
during the deliberations of the counties
committee.
Especially gratifying to it's members
was the interest shown by the national
government in the efforts being made
for the conservation of California's ma
tural resources, not fewer than three
representatives of federal departments
in Washington being present to give eX-
pert advice and bespeak the support of
the administration in the conservation
movement.
Another gratifying result of the efforts
of the promotion committee TO date is
the increasing tendency throughout the
state to give aid to the boosting
movement through the formation of
local commercial bodies and their af-
filiation with the parent organization.
SiXty-three such organizations, rep
resenting every county in the state,
sent delegates to yesterdays meeting.

STRIKE IN ASSEMBLY
AT MANILA IS ENDED
TEN LAWMAKERS WHO B0LTED
ARE REINSTATED
Payne's Tariff Bill Causes FiIipinos
to Leave nstituents-lncident
an Unusual One in
Legislation

MANILA, May 10.-An unusual leg
islative incident was terminated today
by the return to the Philippine assem-
bly, of ten members of the Progressive
minority who had been on a strike for
a month.
They withdrew from the house in a
body when the Payne tariff bill was
under discussion several weeks ago
and refused to attend the sessions Or
perform any legislative work.
The majority still had quorum and
continued to hold daily sessions, but
did not take up any important meas
ures.
The majority at first purposed to dis
cipline the ten strikers vigorously, but
upon the advice of some of the cooler
tempered leaders, who feared the polit-
ical effect of such a move, they opened
private negotiations and induced the
boilers to return.
The original quarrel arose through
an effort of the minority to secure a re-
committal of the minority report on
the Payne bill after the assembly had
disposed adversely of the question.
After the dissatisfied solons left the
hall objections were raised in some
quarters to their receiving their sal
aries while absent, but Auditor Clarke
ruled that they were entitled to pay
even though they did not attend the
sessions.

VIOLATION OF LIQUOR
ORDINANCE CHARGED
Intoxicant Given to Man Who Takes
Bottles Out of Restaurant, In
stead of Drinking Con-
tents on Premises

Tony Skarich, proprietor of the Grand
Pacific restaurant at ia North Main
street, and his cousin, N. T. Skarich,
were arrested by Patrolmen Brown and
Clifford yesterday afternoon and booked
at the central police station on charges
of violating the liquor ordinance. Tony
Skarich furnished 5000 bail for his APP
pearance in police court this morning,
but his cousin was unable to produce
$100 bail and was held in custody.
The men are alleged to have sold four
bottles of beer to be drunk away from
the premises, a violation of the city
ordinance that provides liquor sold by
restaurant proprietors having a retail
liquor license must sell the beverage
only with meals and to be drunk on
the premises.
The arrests are the result of the in
vestigations of the officers who are
members of the squad detailed by Chief
Dishman to see that the restaurants
obey the Sunday liquor ordinance.

ON SITE OF CHURCH
CIVIL WAR CACHE BELIEVED
TO AWAIT DlGGERS
Treasure Buried in Dayton, KY by
General Morgan and Confed.
crates Is Sought by
Builders

CINCINNATI, May 9.-The excava-
ton for the building of the St. Francis
church at Dayton, KY, suburb, is
being watched by many who believe
that a pot of gold was buried under
that site after the raid by Gen. John
Hunt Morgan and his band of Con-
federates near the close of the civil
war.
The property belonged to the late
Matthew Macarthur, noted southern
sympathizer.
There was a subterranean passage
leading from the house and it is here
the passage having long since beer
filed up, that the treasure is supposed
to be.
The money was left, it is said, by
a Confederate named Caldwell, who
had been sent north to pay the troops
of General Morgan, then in this
vicinity.
He stopped at the Macarthur resi-
dence, and, HE presence being dis
closed, he secreted the gold, said to
amount to several thousand dollars
and escaped, intending to join General
Morgan.
General Morgan was killed in Ten
nessee about this time.

SIXTY DAYS EXPIRE SINCE

San Pedro VIII Be Ready to Vote on

Small Compromises
Are Made

SAN PEDRO, May 9.-As the sigma
ture of Governor Gillett was attached
to the Consolidation act, which is to
enable Los Angeles and San Pedro 10
unite under one government, March
II, the sixty-day clause will expire
tomorrow, May 10, and the legal way
for the union of the two cities Will
be provided.
While no petitions for the calling
of the election will be circulated until
Los Angeles is ready, the feeling pre-
walls here that the sooner the consol-
idation committee of both cities are
ready for the election the better 1t
will be.
Although the San Pedro committee
has asked for many things to be SET.
tied before the election is called, 1t
may develop that some small com
promise will be necessary. Resolutions
were passed here by a mass meeting
asking for a boulevard $50 feet VIDE
to extend from Los Angeles to the
proposed public wharves and DOCKS
in the outer harbor. In all probability
il will not be feasible to build such
a broad highway, but a compromise on
this point will undoubtedly be con-
coded by the friends of consolidation
here.
Other demands may likewise be mod
flied, for the sentiment expressed here
is that the Los Angeles committee IS

of the greatest number of people and
