YALE DIRECTOR
CHIEF FORESTER
TAFT APPOINTS FRIEND OF
CLIFFORD PlNCH0T
Two Men in Sympathy with Policy of
Deposed Official Will Sue

Price
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Henry S.
Graves, director of the Yale forest
school, was appointed by President
Taft today to succeed Clifford Plnehot
as chief forester. Albert f. Potter, at
present acting forester, was appointed
associate forester,
The new forester and his associate
are both known as Pinchot men. Both
have served under Mr.. Pinchot and
both are in sympathy with his policy
of administration.
1t was largely through Mr. Pinchot' S
efforts that the Yale forest school was
established and Mr.. Graves went from
the post of assistant chief of the di-
vision of forestry, under Pinchot, to
become director of the school in 1900.
He served in the forestry division for
two years. Mr.. Graves graduated from
Yale in 1892. He was trained in fos-
estry in this country and in Europe,
and has had extensive experience in
the west, having made the survey of
the Black Hills in 1879. Mr. Graves
will begin his duties as forester Feb
uary 1;
Mr.. Potter, new associate forester,
who succeeds OVertOn -. Price, is a
native of California, and has spent
all his life in the west until he be-
came a member Of the forestry staff
nine years ago.
He has had jurisdiction over all graz
ing privileges within the preserves.
He is well acquainted with western
conditions and is thoroughly informed
of all the policies and practices of the
forest service.

COAL MINERS WILL ASK
FOR INCREASE IN WAGES
Workers Give Advance in Cost of LiV'
ing as Reason for Demand
on Operators

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-COal miners OF
the United States are preparing to re-
open the question of wages after Janu-
arv 20, and demand for increased pay
is expected. 1t may cause marked
advance in present prices of coal. The
stand taken by the miners that they
need higher wages because of the IN
creased cost of living comes as part
of the general movement of organized
labor begun by the switchmen and rail-
road brotherhoods The movement has
already spread to include practically all
branches of railroad labor.
1T is true that the mine workers
will take up the question of wages,
said John Fitzpatrick president of the
Chicago Federation OF Labor. Il do not
see the necessity of higher priced coal
even if the miners get increases. When
coal which costs $3.50 ton in the Unit
ed States can be bought for $3.50 ton
in Canada, there is something more
than wages boosting the price
The coal men take a different view.
They cannot figure how the miners can
be paid more money and coal remain at
former prices.

OAKLAND, Jan. 12.-Deputy Sheriff
Lindcrest was perhaps fatally wounded
in an attempt to prevent the robbery of
the road house of A. Moore on San

entered by a lone bandit. An officer,
in company with the proprietor, of the
place, was preparing to close it for the
night.
Unaware of Lindcrest's presence in
the saloon, the highwayman swung
open the front doors, and presenting a
gun, commanded Moore to hold up his
hands. He complied and the officer,
leaping forward as the thug started to-
ward the cash register struck him
terrific blow over the head with an
umbrella.
Panic stricken by the unexpected op-
position, the highwayman fired point
blank, the bullet entering Lindcrests
shoulder. As he ran through the door
he fired a second shot, which took effect.

crest's recovery is doubtful. Nothing
was taken from the saloon.
