STOCKTON, Feb. Especial Off
Ger B. McShain of the Southern Pacific
force, and officer F. w. Decraix of the
Santa Fe, who came here several days
ago to look into robberies of freight
cars, which have been reported lately,
tonight had running fight with two
Mexicans. McShain was shot in the

bullet glanced. He was brought TO
the hospital and found to be not
seriously hurt.
The officers discovered caches OF
canned goods near the railroad today
and lay in wait for the suspected rob-
bers to appear.
When two Mexicans came on the
ground the officers threw their lights
on the men, both of whom ran, with
the officers in pursuit. One followed by
McShain turned and fired, and the fire
was returned, but the Mexicans es-
capped. Local officers are now look
ing for them. ,-
Many robberies of freight cars have
been reported of late, and special Oh
ficers were sent here to stop it.

TAFT URGES RELIEF FOR MEN
HURT ON PANAMA CANAL WORK

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-President
Taft today sent a special message to
congress, urging relief for number of
workmen injured on the Panama canal
prior to the passage of the act Of May
80, 1908, which definitely fixed the COM
pensation to be allowed injured en-
ployes, or to be granted their families
in case of death.
In his message the president said:
ut needs no argument to estabnsh
the obligation which the government OF
the United States is under to provide
relief for its employees who are per-
manently disabled or MANNED and for
the families of those who are thus in
iured or killed, through no fault of
their own, while employed on work of
such hazardous character as that con-
nected with the construction of the
Isthmian canal"

WANT TO PROBE
FORESTRY WORK
SENATORS ADOPT MOTION TO
GET ACCOUNTING
DoLLIVER ASKS FOR A PRINTED
EXPENSE ACCOUNT
Dixon of Montana Appeals to Know
What Became OF Million Dollar
Appropriation for Special
Agents
[Associated prossl

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN connec-
tion with a resolution offered by SEN
ator Dolliver providing for the printing
of detailed statement of expenses of
the agricultural department there was
an incidental discussion Of the for
estry bureau in the senate today.
The resolution was adopted. Senator
Dixon of Montana asked why the ag-
ricultural department had been singled
out, and in doing so he complained of
discrimination against the department
because Of the Ballinger-Pihchot con-
troversy.
If the expense account of the for
estry bureau was to be printed, he
wanted accounts of the land office
printed also. He wanted to know what
had been done with the million dollars
appropriated for special agents.
He also would have the postotitee
ana other departmental accounts
printed: he desired especially to know
if it were true that the government
was paying railways nine cents a
pound for carrying matter for which
the express companies paid one-halt
cent.
Costly Education
Mr.. Dixon also undertook to correct
what he said was misapprehenslon
concerning expenditures for the educa-
ton of forest rangers. He said it had
been charged that 100000 had been
paid for the education of these men,
whereas in western state universities
no tuition was charged.
He said there were four such instl-
tutions and that 100 rangers had been
admitted He said that, while attend
ing these schools they were under
government pay, but that the attend
ance had come in the winter when
there was nothing they could do IN
their regular work.
In response to a query from MI
Tillman, Mr.. Dixon admitted that the
rangers We're not appointed until after
they had undergone a civil service
examination, and when the Montana
senator declared that even then the
rangers needed further instruction
the South Carolinan declared the
whole thing a "humbug."
Mr.. Money said the document should
be printed. He said the present agri-
cultural appropriation law carries a
"slush fund.- of $1,000,000 to be expend-
ed at the caprice Of officials. He did
not approve of the system and thought
the forestry service should be thor
oughIy classified.
When the resolution was adopted Mr..
Dixon gave notice that he would offer
resolution for printing accounts OF
all departments.
