appointed . commiAsion to investigate
the right Of diplomatic and consular
representatives TO the titles thay had bean
using. Tho Minister was induced to
take this step by the fact that the sig
natures Of many Of these Representatives
differed from those TO which they were
legally entitled and which were In
soribed IN their etats civiles, thereby
endangering the validity Of such sigma
lures. Some had entirely changed their
names by prehxing titles Of nobility.
Others had contented themselves by
prefixine de to their names.
The commission has now made it's
report to the Foreign Of1oe. In this
document It is stated that out Of forty
eight diplomatic and consular repre-
ssntatives whose rights were examined
into only seven made good their claims

SANTA FE'S HIe FINE REVERSED.
United States Ceurt or Appeals Sends
Case Back for Rstrial.

SAN Francisco. May Sin an opinion
handed down to-day Judge Ross Of the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
holds that the tSao. 900 fine against the
Santa Fe Railroad Company is not valid
and remanded the case for new trial.
The Government brought action against
the Santa Fe for giving rebates TO the
Grand Canon Lime and Cemeno Com
pany. Sixty-six cases OF rebaHng were
established by the Government and q
fine Of 81, 900 on each count was assessed.
Judge Ross holds that the statute
expressly forbids departure from the
legal rate when wilfully made, hence the
question Of intent entered into the charge
made In the indictment. That being
90 it necessarily resulted that the lower
court was In error In withholding from
the jury evidence that more or less limo
shook out In handling.

Mr.. Gilmor S. Hamill, of Oakland.

time having work begin on the National
Road at Frostburg and improve that
highway as far west as Grantsville,

CONFERENCE Of GARRETT
COUNTY FOREST WARDENS
Was Held In the Court House In Oak
land Tuesday Of This Week.

The Forest Wardens of the southwest
section of Garrett county met the State
Forester in the County Commissioners
room at the court house on Tuesday for
a conference on the forest fire question.
There were two sessions held-morn-
ing and afternoon-a and the forest work
was thoroughly gone over by the local
and State Foresters. Those present at
the conference were State Forester
Besley and local Wardens W. T. Steyer,
D. w. Wilson, Lincoln Sines. J. M.
Falkenstine, F. Kimmell, L. L. Kim
nell. During the day several land
owners who are interested in forest fire
protection came into the meeting. This
conference is one or many that are be-
ing held in different parts of the state
to formulate practical methods of sup
pressing forest fires and to secure a
closer cooperation between the land
owners and state forest service.
Following the Oakland meeting con-
ferences were held at Frostburg We'd
nesday morning for the wardens of
southeastern Garrett county and south
western Allegany. Today a meeting
will be held in Cumberland.
The forest fires last year were un-
usually severe and the people generally
are aroused on the subject. The opin-
ion was freely expressed at the Oakland
meeting that the time is opportune for
united action and that when the fire
laws are generally understood there is
a disposition to enter damage suits
against railroad companies and indi-
viduals who set out fires in the woods.
The law is so framed as to fully protect
the land owner and where the evidence
is at all conclusive little difficulty has
been experienced in securing damages
at least that is the experience in other
section of the State. The forest war
dens were instructed, at the time of
fires, to obtain as much evidence as TO
the origin as can be ascertained and
this becomes available in the prosecu-
ton of damage suits.

CRAZED ZIMMERMAN IS
FOUND STARVING IN CAVE
Wandered for Weeks in Woods of
Preston County. W. Va.

Richard Golf, aged 80 years, an en-
plOye of the Kingwood Lumber Com
pany, was found starving in a cleft of
rocks on the east side of Cheat river. in
Preston county, near Trowbrldge Ferry.
He left Caddell, w. Va, in March. 1t
is supposed that he was rendered uncsn-
sciOus by companions and robbed. His
head and body are badly Scared. He
had been in this condition for a month
and ate bark of elm and birch trees and
got water from sugar trees, which he
tapped
When Frank Menefee and Frank
Stewart, who were walking through the
woods, came upon him, Golf seemed
afraid of them and tried to escape. He
had been sleeping in the lodges of the
rocks for a month. He weighed 1876
pounds in normal condition, but is now
only shadow, as the result of weeks
of exposure and starvation Fortunate
ly he was clothed in the heavy apparel
of woodsman and this doubtless saved
him.
Golf says he has a sister in Kansas.
He had been working in Pennsylvania
previous to coming to West Virginia.
He is now gaining physically and men
tally. Golf can tell little about the two
companions who were with him when
he left Caddell, where he worked for
the kingwood Lumber Company, other
than that they were from Pennsylvania.
He cannot tell. either, just how he got
to the secluded spot where he was
found.

Normal School Lectures.

At half past three clock every Fri
day afternoon at the Oakland Normal
School thirty minute address on some
educational or current topic is made by
a prominent speaker. Last Friday Mr..
Joseph E. Harmed delighted the school
with one of his characteristic and inter-
esting addresses. These half hour talks
are not only open to the general public
but every resident of Oakland and friend
of education in the county IS cordially
invited and urged to attend any or all of
them.
Wednesday afternoon the students
were favored with an hours address by
DR.. W. W. Davis, of Mountain Lake
Park, on his trip to Europe. DR.. Davis
is not only fluent and interesting
speaker, but proved himself delight
full entertainer as he described in detail
the scenes and Incidents of his trip from
New York, via Gibraltar, to Naples,
Rome, Florence, Milan, Switzerland,
the Rhine country, Paris, London and
home again. At the close of DR.. Davis
address the students unanimously invit-
ed DR.. Davis to give his illustrated lee
ture on Rome, which he has consented
to do at some date tobe announced later.
The new stereopticon lantern for the
use of the school has arrived and on
Tuesday evening was tested by Mr..
Harmed and Prof. Palmer. The machine
is one of the latest models and adds
very materially to the equipment of the
school and will become a source of
pleasure and profit to the students when
it is put to use regularly.

a Sunday Afternoon Fire.

Last Sunday afternoon sparks from
kitchen flue set fire to the roof of the
telty house on Watsr street, tenanted
by Uncle Harvey Turner and was blaz-
ing pretty briskly when discovered. A
large crowd collected IN a remarkably
short time and while some climbed to
the roof others formed bucket line
from the Little Youghiogheny and in a
few minutes the blaze was eXtinguished.
A portion of the roof of the main
building was consumed, the loss being
slight. Most of "Uncle Harvey's"
household goods were carried to the
street, his family being fearful that the
building would be entirely consumed.
