DEVLIN WITNESS FOR
SELF AT INVESTIGATION
Senator Stone Probes Into the
Charges Made by Perrin

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-United
States District Attorney Robert T.
Devlin was the principal witness today
in the investigation being conducted
before United States Senator w. S.
Stone of Missouri into the methods of
federal officers in court practice. Inc
case of DR.. e. B. Perrin of Williams,
Ariz., was the basis of the inquiry.
DR.. Perrin was convicted in the fed
eral court of illegal procedure in the
ACQUISITION of government timber land
in California and Devlin and his as
sistant, A. P. Black, prosecuted him.
The decision of the lower court was
set aside and DR.. Perrin charged that
he had been prosecuted by William j..
Burns, a government detective, and
Devlin.
Although Devlin denied that he. held
personal animosity toward DR.. Perrin,
the aged lumber operator jumped to
his feet several times during the hear
ing and charged the attorney with
prejudice. The hearing will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

Still Spreading

they could not stop it and already
1000 acres have been swept.
The fire now is in the Quaker Hill

this city with water are in danger.
A general alarm was sent in by Super
visor r. L. B. Bigelow tonight and
thirty men left to fight the fire.
The large Fowler sawmill and the
tract of the Tahoe national forest are

Frederickson imposed the severe sem
tence on the ground that as Boyle, who
is a lather, found the knife under such

Eberhart Carries Every County
in State but One

The exact size of Governor A. o.
Eberhart's plurality over James Gray
is still in doubt, but latest indications
are that it will go something over co.
900.
The Republican candidate carried
every county but one, Lyon, and there
Mr.. Gray's plurality was small.
But in spite of his big plurality Gov
ernor Eberhart did not lead his ticket,
that honor going to George T. Simp-
son, attorney general Walter j. Smith,
candidate for treasurer, and S. G. liver.
son, state auditor, are neck and neck
for second place.
Justice T. D. O'Brien, Democratic
candidate for the state supreme bench,
is short the necessary votes to elect.
Sidney Anderson OF Lanesboro will
be the only new member of the Mime
sofa delegation in the next congress,
as all of the eight members who were
candidates for reelection were victo-
rious. w. S. Hammond, in the Second
district, the lone Democrat in the last
delegation, had the closest run, but re-
turns indicate his election ny about
5000 over Franklin Ellsworth, his Re-
publican opponent.

HICKORY SUPPLY GOING.
Valuable American Wood Rapidly Be-
coming Extinct.

The supply of hickory, the best
American fuel wood and the most diff
cult to replace in case of a shortage
of American hard woods, is approach
ing exhaustion, says a bulletin Of the
department of agriculture.
It shows that virgin hickory, the
chief source of supply, is disappearing
rapidly and that there are no foreign
sources which can be drawn upon
when the home supplies are exhausted
Prices, 1t Is pointed out, are bound to
advance because of the high technical
value of hickory and the fast dimin-
fishing supply.
The bulletin says that hickory has a
number Of important special uses for
Which no satisfactory substitute is
known, that fully 40 per cent of the
merchantable hickory cut each year
is wasted, that the total amount OF
hickory consumed annually is probably
not less than 45O,0OO,OOO feet, that the
vehicle industry takes about IS per
cent Of the total cut, that there are
now about 100,0OO,0OO acres Of land on
which hickory is growing naturally
and that hickory users should coop
crate to prevent shortage.

EXPENSE IN CRIPPEN'S
CASE RECORD IN LONDON.
Scotland Yard Never Before Expended
$4,000 on One Crime.

1t is estimated that pursuit, capture
and trial Of Dr. Crippen will cost the
taxpayers of London $25, 900. Never be-
fore has Scotland Yard spent so much
in the pursuit Of any criminal.
A large item in "the Yards" Crippen
bill is the cost of kilograms and cables
giving descriptions Of Crippen, which
were sent to many continental, Ameri-
can and Canadian police headquarters.
This item will amount to $1,000.
Twenty-Five thousand large posters,
containing descriptions Of Crippen and
Miss lie Neve, with reproductions of
their photographs and handwriting,
were scattered broadcast up and down
two continents. Fifty clerks were en-
gagged night and day for long time
in wrapping, addressing and mailing
these posters. That will be costly
item
Then there is the expense of sending
Inspector Dew to Canada and the ex-
pense Of another detective and ward
ress who have gone to Quebec to look
after the prisoners on their way back
to England. Then there is the reward
of $3.50, which will have to be paid
to Captain Kendall Of the steamship
Montrose. There is, too, the cost Of
the long coroner's inquest, with the
fees for analytical chemists.
The trial of Crippen will not be very
expensive, nor will it last long. Eng
lisa criminal courts move with swift
ness and without technicalities. It is
not expected that Crippen's trial will
consume more than three or four days.
If he is sentenced to death he will be
hanged on the third Monday morning
following the day Of his conviction.
Convicted criminals under recent
statute have the right to appeal, but
the appeal court works swiftly and,
like the lower court, pays little atten-
ton to technicalities.
