There is no treasure so precious to

her furs away for the summer. During

started to the office, where, with his

WOODLAND. Oct. 14-Theodore
Bell, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, was given tumultuous greet
ing here tonight at the close of a hard
days campaigning in Solano and Yolo
counties. When the automobile con-
tanning Bell, Timothy Spellacy and
Judge Henry c. Gessford arrived a
half hour late from Winters it was
greeted by fully 1000 men with torches.
Men, women and children were banked
along the sidewalks and broke into
frantic cheering when Bell, tired and
dust-covered, climbed out of the auto
mobile. The progressive leader was
escorted into the city and to the thea
ter under a continual glow of red
fire. Even Republican leaders admit
ted tonight ttat Bell will carry the
county by at least 1000. Democrats in
sist that the majority will be at least
$500.
In the theater an audience of fully
1900 persons awaited the candidate,
packing the hall in every foot of avail
able space. The meeting was called
to order by e. w. Watson, who pre-
sented the Democratic warhorse Ed
Lake as the chairman of the evening.
Bells reception shook the building, the
audience arose and waved hats and
hank rchiefs as it cheered. You may
rest assured" he said, 'that there
will be no William r. Herrin or politi-
cal bureau of the Southern Pacific
railroad in the government of Cali
fornia If I'm elected. have my record
to back up my promise there will be
no William F. Herrin to tap legisla-
tors on the shoulder and place his own
men in the judicial possessions. Hi
ram Johnson knows that I am sincere
yet he insinuates, that I have given
up the cause of the people"

Johnson MAKES ADDRESS
TO CROWD AT BERKELEY

BERKELEY, Oct 14.-Hiram w.
Johnson Republican candidate for
governor, started out on the last stage
of his campaign tonight by addressing
q big meeting in this city. He was
met at the station by committee and
a band. The hall in which he spoke
was filed.
Arthur Arlett, chairman of the john
on-Wallace club of Berkeley, opened
the meeting and Charles H. Spear
acted as chairman.
In his speech Johnson attacked his
Democratic opponent for declaring the
leaders of the progressive movement in
the Republican party were bigots.
"On the other side in this fight" he
declared, "you will find every reaction
ary influence and corporate interest.
You see the attorney for the Southern
Pacific railroad In San Francisco
aligned with my opponent. Our Demo-
cratic friends do not like this designa-
ton, but they have pinned their faith
in success in getting that kind of vote
and they must take the consequences.
On our side we have drawn the line
on that ISSUE"

ACCUSES WILLIS MOORE
OF TYRRANY IN OFFICE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-One of the
counts in the number of charges made
by James Berry, division chief of the
United States weather bureau for II
years, against the chief of the bureau,
Willis L. Moore, is that he has pursued
and is now pursuing a policy of with
holding forecasts of the weather
bureau for the deliberate purpose of
creating complaints, then blaming con-
gress for not granting additional ap-
preparations. Mr.. Berry says the
chief has reduced the number of places
receiving the forecasts and special
warnings of the bureau by 100, making
the total the smallest since the year
1866, notwithstanding there has been
no diminution in the amount of money
appropriated for this important work.
He asserts no committee of congress
can afford to overlook the information
which he will lay before It concerning
the management of the bureau. He
asserts Mr.. Moore holds tyrannical
sway over the bureau and manipulates
the government business to suit his
own whims rather than the needs of
the public.

GIRL WILL SING
TO SECURE VOTES
Daughter of 'Tama lin Wilson to
Accompany Father on
Iowa Campaign
Especial to The f1eraldI

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct, 14.-The
Iowa campaign is to be enlivened by
the singing of Miss Flora Wilson, who
will accompany her father, ''Tama
Jim" Wilson, the secretary of agricul-
ture, on his speaking tour through
the state. Miss Wilson is extremely
popular in Iowa and has already made
a name for herself with her voice in
New York and Washington.
She prepared for participation in
grand opera under the tutorship of
Jean de Reszke in Paris and has a
magnificent voice. Her personal
charms have made her much liked in
capital society.
Miss Wilson volunteered to sing at
the meetings and although vocal music
of grand opera quality is a novelty in
politics her suggestion was eagerly ta-
ken up. Already the Polk county po-
litical leaders are predicting that her
distinguished father will be crowded
into second place.
Secretary Wilson comes to Iowa to
participate in the campaign entirely
on behalf of the administration and
he will not take sides with either pro-
gressives or regulars. He Is expected
to make some extremely important
statements rejecting the official atti-
tude and desires of President Taft.
Iowa is regarded as critical ground
by Republicans, because of the intense
interest in progressive policies dis
played by the most conservative mem
bers of the party. An attempt will be
made to secure harmony between the
warning elements and through the
peace established in this state to have
a beneficial influence in party matters
throughout the union.
Secretary Wilson is well fitted to
carry out this plan of the administra-
ton, as he is loved by all Hawkeyes
and is famous for his conservatism.
This will insure him most respectful
hearing and do more, the administra-
tion leaders believe, to advance keynote
ideas than their presentation by some
more radical speaker.
His accomplished daughter is re-
garded as distinct asset In this cam
paign, as her singing will aid materi-
ally in the success of the meetings.

New charges against District Attorney
FTedericks were presented by Thomas
Lee Woolwlne at watts last night as
follows:
Expense of running district attorneys

81, 1906. sI8,801.98; expense for six
months ending June 80, 1910, SSs,O01.O7.

ending December 81, 1906, $l%,O40.99t }
combined salaries of district attorney
and deputies for six months ending June
80, 1910. s25.e7O.5s.
In December. 1906, District Attorney
Fredericks had eleven deputies and seven
detectives; In June, 1910, this force was
twenty-four deputies and twelve detec-
tives.
In startling contrast to this increase
Is this fact:
In the last four years District Attor-
ney Fredericks and his deputies have
appeared as attorneys for private par
ties In 395 clvN cases.
The aggregate Of time thus taken from
the public service In the district attor-
ney's office Is estimated by MIR. Wool
wine at 1I95 days, or the equivalent OF
paying for the time of one deputy for
three and one-fourth years, "for which" ;"
said Mr.. WOo1winc. mot one dollar OF
service was rendered to the public"
The foregoing public time lost does
not include any in which there was no
litigation and concerning which the
courts furnish no record. which Is un-
doubtedly extended.

stenographers paid by the county have
been used In 8 great volume Of private

COMMISSIONER RELEASES
ACCUSED MEN ON BONDS
The Cases Involve $1,000 Acres
Worth S100,00o,o0O

SEATTLE, Oct. 14.-Charles f.
Munday, George Simmonds and Cor
neIius Christopher, all prominent Seat
tie men, were arrested here late today
on indictments returned by the Ia
coma grand jury charging conspiracy
to defraud the government in the
Alaska, coal cases. They were taken
before United States Commissioner w;
D. Totem and released under bonds OF
$25OO each.
Warrants have also been issued for
the arrest of Algernon S. Stracey, an
Englishman; Archie w. Shiels and
Earl E. Siegley. Siegley was private
secretary to Michael j. Heney, the
contractor who was building the Cop
per River railroad in Alaska for the
Guggenheims. Siegley is now on the
way from San Francisco to Settle
with the body of Heney, who died a
few days ago. He will be arrested i'm
mediately after Heney's funeral.
Mortimer c. Sweeney, the seventh
turned, is dead,
FICTITIOUS ENTRY CHARGED
The accused men are charged with
having conspired to derraud the gov
ernment on fictitious entries in what
are known as the Christopher and the
English groups. Both groups are stu
ated in the Bering river district, be-
tween Bering lake and Kushtake gla-
cier, near the famous Cunningham
claims. The value of the coal lands,
which it is alleged the claimants con-
spired to obtain fraudulently, is placed
by the government at S10OOOO,OOO.
The men arrested today are to
near before United States Dist rC
Judge George Donworth for arraisl-
ment at Tacoma next Monday. II is
probable that the trial viii be set Cor
the November term in Seattle.
"The cases wherein the grand Jury
returned indictments involved 154 en-
tries and approximately 1900 acres of
coal lands In the Bering river fields
in Alaska" said Special Agent AndreW
Christensen tonight. ''The evidence
submitted to the grand sury has been
secured during the last two or three

HYDRAULIC CHAIR BLOWS
UP-P0RTER LOSES EYE
Flying Bolt Destroys Optic of Man
Installing Seat

Ordinarily barber chairs appear
harmless enough, but that there is
hidden danger in the nicely upholstered
seats was made apparent late yes
terday afternoon when Frank Miller,
a negro porter employed at the bar
ber shop at 11S West Third street,
lost his right eye when a hydraulic
chair exploded and bolt struck him.
Miller was helping one of the bar
bers install a new chair The latter
was adjusting the hydraulic appara-
tus while the porter was engaged In
fastening the chair to the floor, us
ing screw bolts. Suddenly the chair
was lifted from the floor with great
force and a bolt over which he was
bending flew up and struck the negro
in the eye.
Miller was taken to the receiving
hospital where DIR. j. H. Slater, an
eye specialist, performed an operation
and removed the eye. Later the in
iured man was removed to the Clara
Barton hospital.

A common black cat, appearing at
an inopportune moment in the restau-

patrons receiving impromptu baths or
hot soup and Andre Long, waiter
being sent to the receiving hospital for
treatment for dislocated left elbow
Andre was serving the patrons Of
the place and was endeavoring to rush
the food to the dining room to avoid
delaying the evening meal Of the hun
gry ones Just as he was about to
place a bowl of soup on the table he
stepped on the tail of a black cat that
darted across his path.
The yowl of the injured feline
startled Andre and he hurled the soup
from him, lost his balance and fell to
the floor. The hot liquid splashed on
two irate customers and when the un-
fortunate waiter arose he found that
his left elbow was dislocated.
''I have been good to dat cat" said
Andre while the police surgeons were
preparing to put him under the in
fluence of ether. "But-how you say

CHARGE OF DUMMY ENTRIES
ASSOCIATED pressI


WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-After
months of secret effort and patient
waiting officials of the general land
office were able to announce today the
Indictment of six claimants to valu-
able lands in Alaska.
The entries involved No. 154 and
cover almost 1000 acres of land, all of
which lies in the Bering strait district,
in which the Cunningham claims are
located. They are what are known as
the English or Stracey and the Chris
topher Simmonds groups, the former
containing so and the latter "a claims of
100 acres each. The deposits covered
by these claims are believed to be as
rich as those of the Cunningham
mines which cut conspicuous figure
in the Ballinger-P controversy.
INDICTMENTS BY TACOMA JURY
The indictments were handed down
in the federal court at Tacoma. Wash.
In the English group indictments were
returned against G. f. Munday, A. III.
Stracey, Archie W. Shields and e. E.
Siegley and the second group against
Cornelius Christopher, George Sim
monds and Mortimer G. Sweeney.
The first group of defendants takes
it's name from the fact that number
of people in western Canada are sup
posed to be interested. Stracey is a
resident of Vancouver and is charged
with having been instrumental in max
ing some of the locations. Munday is
prominent attorney of Seattle.
The charge is that the entries were
made in the names of dummies.
Most of the entrymen were residents or
Washington, and they are said to have
made an agreement that their claims
should be assigned or decided to third
parties. There is said to have been a
further understanding that the locator
| should receive large percentage OF
| the sale prices.
The charge differs from the charges
| in the Cunningham claims, in which
! there were no allegations that the en-
! trymen took the claims for persons
other than themselves, but rather that
| they had a previous agreement to work
or dispose of their claims as a unit. 1t
is said few claimants in the new cases
ever saw the land on which their names
were used for locations.
ECHO OF BALLINGER CASE
Both groups of claims figured in con-
nection with the Ballinger- -Pinchot in
ouiry. Charges of fraud in connection
with the entries were made two years
ago, ane it was asserted that investi-
CATION had been stayed by the land
office, supposedly for sinister purposes.
Meeting this allegation with the
statement that the services Of the land
office were needeu elSeWheAo, anu SAAeIS
there was no statute of limitations to
run against these cases, it was con-
ceded that they we're not pressed for a
period. Since last May, however, Chris
tiansen has been giving the major por-
ton of his time to them.
Another federal grand jury sitting at
Spokane is considering other charges
of fraudulent coal entries in Alaska
and results are expected from the in
vestigations similar to those obtained
at Tacoma.
