the only effect OF these long answers
with arguments appended is simply
TO delay the proceedings"
At the afternoon session Mr.. Yer
trees called attention to the fact that
in his original testimony Mr.. CLAWS
expressed surprise that Special Agent
Sheridan, who succeeded him in
charge of the Alaska cases, should
have reached the same conclusion he
had.
why were you surprised?" de-
manded Mr.. Vertrees.
"Well, he had a letter of Snstruc-
tions. and I think they expected a
different report; otherwise they
would not have sent him out there.
who do you mean by 'they'?"
Whoever wrote the letter-Mr.
Schwartz"
Mr.. Vertrees then read the letter
into the evidence.
During all the time you were in
the service and in charge OF the
Alaska cases, did not you feel that
you had the confidence OF your SUI
periors and did they not Sc express
themselves to you in communications
from time to timer" asked Mr.. Yer
trees.
"Yes. SIR" he said hesitatingly.
"And you say there was no harm
done the government by the delay in
1905 when you were temporarily as
signed to the Oregon cases?"
NO, sir. there was no harm"
He Meets With Pinchot.
"And you always had plenty Of
help?"
Eyes. sir"
Claws would not admit that Secre-
tary Balllnger and Commissioner
bennett acted on Sherldan's recon-
mendation in postponing a hearing in
the case in the summer OF 1909.
Cross-examination Of the witness as
to his meeting with Clifford Pinchot
at Spokane. Wash. IN August OF hast
year then was begun. CLAWS said he
told his story to Mr. Pinchot and that
the latter called in Ex-Governor Par
dee. OF California.
But up to the time OF your meet
ing Mr.. Pinchot. all that you wanted
had been granted. had 1t not?"
Yes"
What was there to be gained in
presenting the case TO Mr.. Pinchot?
The forestry service had already In
tervened and your requests had al
ready been granted"
IL thought. in view OF all the facts
and the difficulty / had had In getting
a postponement of the case. that in
view of the letters written by Dem
nett and his action throughout the
proceedings that Il would be only a
little while until these cases were
brought up agan 20 be decided be-
fore either Mr.. bennett OF Mr.. Bal

tarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter

JAPANESE Land
ACT PROMULGATED
FOrbids Property Ownership by
Foreigners Whose Countries
Deny Right to Japanese

TOKYO. Wednesday. April 1S.-The
law relating to foreigners right of
ownership of land was promulgated
today. 1t provides that foreigners
domiciled or resident in Japan and for
eign presons registered therein shall
enjoy the right of ownership in land.
provided always that in the countries
to which they belong such right is ex-
tended TO japanese persons.
The law is applicable only to for
eigners belonging to countries desig-
mated by imperial ordinance. In the
districts of HokkaidO, FormOsa. Kara
futo, and districts necessary for ma
tional defense, foreigners are debarred
from land ownership.
In case a foreigner owning land
ceases to be capable of enjoying the
right of ownership. through the with
drawal of that right from Japanese in
his own country, the ownership of such
land shall revert to the government,
unless he disposes of it within pc
riod of one year.
In case foreigner by reason of los
ing his domicile or residence in Japan
on account of withdrawal from the
country. ceases to be capable of en-
joying the right of ownership in land
the period mentioned in the preceding
parag graph shall be five years.
Proper provision for compensation.
court procedure and other phases ~of
land ownership, in accord with gener-
ally established practice, are made by
the act.

BOGS OF IRELAND
PROVE LIFE PRESERVERS
May Eventually Become Health
Resorts of Society

1t is curious that it is in the bog
land districts of Ireland that the great
est number of pensioners are to be
found. Boys are said to be antiseptic
in their nature, and undoubtedly they
possess great preservative qualities.
Where bogS have old coins or weapons
in them for years they are usually in
an excellent state of preservation when
brought to light
Castlerea district is famous for its
bogs; the smell of the turf seems to he
everywhere; and it is here that most
pensioners have qualified under the
new act, says the Philadelphia Record.
The list already passed totals $500. In
no part of England or Scotland could a
similar instance be found.
Then in the Gurteen district there is
another great wild strip of moorland.
and there, too, old age pensioners
abound. In one famous case in that To-
cality there are five pensioners in one
house-two brothers, two sisters and a
wife They will have f65 a year com
ing to them under the new act. On a
piece of reclaimed bog they have passed
their calm and uneventful lives. and
now this great boon drops in to them.
and their old days will close in COM
fort and in a prosperity that they never
knew before.
These bog lands are now proved to
have prolonged the lives of so manv
people that perhaps the time may come
when distinguished persons will resort
to these places for their health giving
properties.

CONSCIENCE SENDS
MURDERER TO JAIL
Jealousy Mad Lover Who Slew
''BelIe of ButchertOwn"
Gives Himself Up
Dodged In and Out of Dimond
Canyon for Three Months
Following Crime

Hounded and haunted by his con-
science during a struggle of 80 days
and nights, lodging in and out of can
yons and ravines in Alameda county
and masked behind the disguise of an
unkempt and bushy beard, George Bes-
sor, murderer of Eleanor Fieber. the
Belle of Butchertown,' whom he killed
in her home, 371 Dore street, January
20 after a heated alteration, yester-
day capitulated to that force which, he
says, almost drove him to suicide.
Weary with the struggle, he made
his way to this city from ranch in
Dimond canyon, Alameda county,
walked into his old haunts and
searched for Detective Sergeant James
Reagan, to whom he hoped to sur
render.
JAIL BEATS CONSCIENCE
Within an hour after his presence
was known he was sbehind the prison
bars which he had so deliberately
sought, having heen taken into custody
by Policemen Fred Draper and O'Brien.
During his fight and hiding he had
been on the verge of ending ii all by his
own hand, obeying what would seem to
be an her sditary influence which has
already ended the lives of other MEM
bers of his family. His weakness in
the struggle between a desire to take
his life or surrender himself to justice
finally broke him in spirit and physical
strength.
Bessor walked to the home of Charles
Sheridan, 35 Dore street, at about 3
o'clock, where he at one time occupied
a room. At sight of his drawn visage
and haggard appearance Mrs. Sheridan
was seized with terror and ran out into
the street shouting for the police The
arresting. officers responded and the
fugitive murderer was taken into Gus
tody.
At police headquarters Bessor made
a full confession of the crime and the
events leading up to it. He declared
that he had made an engagement tC
take the Fieber girl to a dance on the
| night of the murder. When he pre-
sented himself at her home a man
| named Jack Doherty was in the parlor
waiting to take her to another dance.
BULLET MEANT FOR RIVAL
An explanation led to a wordy as
sault and Bessor. according TO his story
drew d pistol. At the same instant Miss
Fieber blew out the lamp and left the
room in darkness. When Bessor dis
charged his pistol he intended to shoot
Doherty. Instead he killed the girl.
Since escaping from the city Bessor
| has been hiding in Niles and Dimond
| canyons, across the bay, working as d
! laborer on any farm that needed help
| After making his escape he declares his
| conscience drove him nearer and nearer
| the scene of his crime.
! Bessor was booked on charge OF
| murder. His arrest was effected at his
mothers home, to which he had gone
after Mrs. Sheridan ran from her house
calling for the officers. He made no re-
| sistance.

BATH DAY is A BIG
DAY FOR ELEPHANTS
Circus Animals Get Weekly
Wash on Sunday

II an elephant could sing on Sunday Y
morning its refrain would be, "Oh, Mr..
Mooney, Turn the Hose on Me-" But it
doesn't need to sing. Mr.. Mooney is
the elephant expert with the Barnum
& Bailey show in Madison Square
garden, New York, and he knows what
an elephant wants just as well as the
elephant does.
Sunday is bath day at the circus
quarters. The hose is used on ele-
plants, horses and ponies, says the
New York World. First of all they
are lathered thoroughly with soap and
then are rinsed down and rubbed dry
The elephants are then rubbed with
neatsfoot oil, which keeps their heavy
hides soft and pliable and adds much
TO their comfort
The lions, tigers, leopards and other
wild animals get a shower bath from
a spraying machine, the liquid being
combination of antiseptic prepara-
tions. They dry themselves by rolling
about and lying on their backs.
Except for the time they are eating
most of the animals spend the day in
slumber. The elephant sleeps standing.
up. but always has an eye open to all
that is going on around him. A seal
sleeps at full length like human
being, and the chimpanzees and mon
KEYS usually lie on their stomachs like
babies, with one arm under the head.
