Clifford Pinchot left Porto Maurizio this
evening bearing the promise of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that he viii deliver an
address before the national conserva-
tion congress, which will meet some
where in the middle west in the early
part of September.
The fact of Roosevelt's acceptance
can only be regarded as an indication
that he is in entire sympathy with the
fight the former forester has made for
the Roosevelt policies as he has inter-
preted them. When Roosevelt speaks
there is no doubt that he will en-
phatically reiterate the views he has
constantly expressed in his annual mes
sages, in his addresses in favor of the
protection of the water power sites
from the grasp OF monopolies, on the
preservation of the forests by govern
ment regulation and on the exploita-
tion of mineral deposits, etc. That
he in any way will attack the
Taft administration is not for a mo-
ment believed; at the same time he will
make clear he stands for the principles
he inaugurated in the way he outlined
them

YOUTH WHO PROSECUTED
GIRL WITH LOVE SOUGHT
Threatened Vengeance When
Plea Was Rejected and Is
Accused by Victim
DETECTIVES FIND CRIME
WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED

w TITHlN a few steps of her faith
w er's home Ruth Frances VIII
son, beautiful student of the
Lowell high school. was the victim of
a vicious attack yesterday, which will
probably result in the loss of her left
eye and the Disagreement of her
countenance for life.
From a hidden position behind
high board fence more than an ounce
of hydrochloric acid was squirted into
the face of the pretty schoolgirl, and
while she shrieked with agony the
perpetrator of the outrage made his
escape. Without the slightest hesi-
tation, however, the victim, her parents
and the police charge the fiendish
crime to young man masquerading
under the name of avn Camp Redfern,
who for more than IS months had
protested a soul consuming love for
the young girl and had burdened her
life with his offensive attentions.
Letters Threaten Girl
In addition to the direct accusation
of Redfern by the family and the po-
lice, are numerous letters addressed
to the girl by him. in which are -por-
trayed the frantic efforts of the young
man to secure recognition OF his suit
with the threat, should he fail. of
wreaking his vengeance on the object
of his insane affection
Taking their inspiration from these
missives the police of San Francisco
and all the bay cities took up the hunt
for the young man last night, and no
titled the authorities at all points on
the coast to keep watch for him.
Although she had received a threat
ening letter from Redfern a short time
before. Ruth Wilson felt no alarm. and
yesterday afternoon left her home at
1924 Octavia street to go TO her tailor
to have a suit fitted.

Frank McGrayne with Detectives Rob-

in possession of all the facts. A search
OF the ground in back of the fence
disclosed a hard rubber syringe Ave
inches long, which still contained some
of the powerful acid. The hole In the

side of it were the initials ~E- W."

Pinchot Still, Smiles

Pinchot left Porto Maurizio smiling,
but still reticent, though deeply appre-
ciative of Roosevelt's promise to ad-
dress the organization he created. I'm
questionabIy the men who have fol-
lowed Pinchot can take real Comfort
from the simple announcement made
today.
Pinchot will arrive in New York
about May l. The address Roosevelt
win make before the conservation con-
gress will be one OF a number he will
deliver. He will speak in Cheyenne the
latter part of August, at the John
Brown battlefield dedication in Kan
sas, probably in San Antonio, Tex, and
also before the Hamilton club in Chi
cago.
No expectation need be entertained
that he viii discuss politics in any of
his speeches. The reason is that he be-
lieves that he should confine himself
entirely to the great principles to
which he has committed himself in the
past and for which he still stands.

Every few days there is a run

dozen runaways was caused by any

cases such carelessness as amounted
to a reckless disregard of lives and
property. Unless the thing is stop
