Washington, Jan. 7.--When today's
cabinet session began at the White
House there was every indication that
the measure of punishment to be
meted out to Clifford Pinchot, the gov
eminent forester, was to be the chief
subject of discussion of the presi-
dent with his advisers. Pinchots
letter to Senator Dolliver, which was
read in the senate yesterday, and
which constitutes a direct violation Of
an executive order issued by the presi-
dent some time ago forbidding any
subordinate In the government employ
from furnishing information to con-
gress except through the head of
department was taken into the cab
met meeting along with the state
ments by Associate Forester Price and
Law officer Shaw, of the forestry bu-
reau, who by PinchoC's own state
ment were directed to assist L. r.
Claws in the preparation of his
charges against Secretary Ballinger.
Would Not Prove Forest Service.
Washington, Jan. -Representative
Fitzgerald Of New York offered In the
house today an amendment to the
joint resolution providing for an In
OF the interior department
and the forest service eliminating the
forest service from inquiry.

MOB IS
Fooled BY WOMAN
CAMP COOK, STRUNG TO A Raj.
TER, is SAVED BY HOUSE,
KEEPER ARMED WITH
A GUN.

Twin Lakes. Wis, Jan. IA strug-
gle between union and non union labor
eliminated in an attempted IynchIng
yesterday afternoon and had the dra-
matte setting of the border drama.
Samuel Roberts, employed as a cook
at boarding house owned by the
Knickerbocker Ice Co., was the victim
of the mob, and he was saved through
the heroism OF Mrs. John 4AndeIl, keep
er Of one Of the boarding houses. Arm
ed with a shotgun, Mrs. Andell held a
mob of more than a hundred rioters
at bay until she could summon help.
In the parley between the woman
and the infuriated men who made up
the mob, Roberts hanged by the neck
to a rafter, was praying that he might
be saved from an igs-ominious death
and urged the men 20 shoot him down.
The mob outnumbered the rescuing
party five to one. but the rescu4rs were
determined. and beating their way
through the mob with clubs and the
butt end OF revolyers, managed to
reach the side Of the woman. They
dragged Roberts from the icehouse to
a place OF safety.
The trouble started In u saloon where
Roberts is said to have refused to
drink with the men.
A derisive cry was shouted in the
door by one of the union men. This
threw the crowd into frenzy and they
made for Roberts. He was thrown to
the floor and terribly beaten. Then
man came In with a rope and Rob-
erts was dragged through the storm to
the icehouse hundreds yards away.
Roberts was pleading for mercy
when Mrs. Andell saw his plight. and,
although alone, she took the shotgun
and started to his rescue.
District Attorney Baker ordered
twenty deputy sheriffs sent to Twin
Lakes to arrest the ringleaders. The
men reached the little village last eve
ming, only to find that the suspects
had escaped in tho storm.
Three Of the men suffered from bro
ken ribs, while one man, John Antivin,
Is thought to have fractured skull.

What is, however, OF the supreme
Importance Is that the decision OF
such questions shall be as speedy AS
the nature of the circumstances will
admit, and that a uniformity of de-
cision be secured SO as to bring about
an effective, systematic and scientific
enforcement of the commerce law,
rather than conflicting decisions and
uncertainty OF final result.
For this purpose I recommend the
establishment Of "A court of the United
States composed of five judges des-
ignated for such purpose from among
the circuit judges of the United
States, to be known as the Omitted
States Court OF Commerce." which
court shall be clothed with exclusive
original Jurisdiction over the follow
ing classes of cases:
1.-AIl cases for the enforcement,
otherwise than by adjudication and
collection OF a forfeiture or penalty.
or by infliction Of criminal punish-
ment, of an order of the interstate
commerce commission other tnan for
the payment Of money.
2.-Au cases brought to enjoin, set
aside, annul or suspend any order or
requirement of the interstate COM
merce commission.
3.-All such cases as under section
3, Of the act of February 10, 1903.
known as the "Elkins act" are author
lied to be maintained i'm a circuit
court Of the United States.
All such mandamus proceedings
as under the provisions of section 20
or section % pf tho Interstate Germ
merce law are authorized to be-
maintained I'm a circuit court of the
United States.

STREET GRE rs PUT TO WORK.

New York, Jan. Earth ii great
masses lay along Ludlow street today
where all night relays of workmen had
labored at the task of finding Isaac
Finkelstein, supposed to have been
buried alivein an excavation dug with
a view Of reaching vaults of the Four
teenth street bank and the safe of a
nearby jeweIry shop.
Finkelstein was reported missing,
and in searching for him tunnel lead
ing from the house next door out under
the street was disclosed. Unable to
penetrate the excavation from within
because Of the cave-in, the street de-
partment was called upon and force
of men put to work digging from the
street surface down to the tunnel level.
Morning brought no positive solution
of the mystery
From an inner exploration there was
every indication that the bank with its
S10,000.000 Of resources had been one of
the ohiectives IF the excavation. The
search continued undated today.

Washington. Jan. president Taft's
special message to congress recon-
mending amendments to the interstate
commerce and anti trust laws was laid
before the house Of representatives to-
day almost Immediately after that body
convened. The message was delivered
by Assistant Secretary Latta, whose
appearance in the chamber was greet
ed with general interest.
The reading of the document was be-
gun without delay and members upon
both the republican and democratic
sides followed the clerk closely. The
interest in the message was indicated
by the fact that an unusual silence
prevailed during the reading, the si-
lence which was broken only by the
voice of the reading clerk.
Representative Townsend of .Michi-
gan, who was among the most atren-
tive listeners, was understood to have
i'm his possession the administration
bill amending the Interstate commerce
law I'm accordance with the recon-
mendarions OF the president, contained
in his special message.

MURDER CASE TO
BE TRIED SOON
JUDGE CoWAN HAS CALLED SPE.
cIAL TERM OF COURT FOR
JAN. 10 TO TRY INTER
ESTING CASE,

Minnewaukan, N. d., Jan. fudge
Cowan has called a special term of
court for this country for Jan. 10 to
try the murder case against Isadors
Mazakohomni, an Indian who is charg-
ed with having killed another Indian,
Peter Adams, on the Devils Lake res
ervation last month. This is the first
very serious case that the county au-
thorities have had to deal with from
the reservation. Since the court held
that the Indian agent has no authority
to punish an Indian by way of either
fine or Imprisonment, there has been
many cases in the local courts involv-
ing trouble between Indians, but prac-
tically all have been minor offenses. 1t
seems that a number of Indians, both
bucks and sQuaws, went to Crazy, N.
d., and filled up on booze. On the
way home they quarreled over divi-
sion of the liquor. Finally, to prevent
the women and children from freezing,
young Adams. one OF the crowd; left
the party, taking the women and chill
dren home. The others soon followed,
and the defendant renewed the quarrel
with Adams, who barricaded himself
in an Indian shack. The defendant
broke In the windows of this place and
started to kick down the door and
young Adams. becoming scared, opened
the door and offered to shake hands
with his pursuer and finally offered
him pony IL he would be good friends
with him. The prisoner, however,
spurned all the dead mans advances
and, picking up a stick of rough wood
about the size of a fork handle, pro-.
ceeded to beat Adams brain out, When
Adams fell to the floor, bleeding and
insensible, the prisoner expressed him
self pleased with the results and went
his way. Adams lived about week
and died from his wounds. The post
norton showed the skull punctured
and badly fractured.
