today Wade H Ellis resigned his posi-

the department of justice to accept the
Craftsmanship of the republican execu-

The Ohio political situation has been

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-"Conserva-

the present session of congress of good
laws for the protection of the natural
resources of the United States, is the
keynote of a report just made to the
National Conservation association by
Clifford Pinchot, it's newly chosen presi-
dent.
Pinchot takes up what he calls "a
spirit of constructive criticism, nine
bills relating to the conservation OF
natural resources, introduced in con-
gress January Is on behalf of the
secretary of the interior. Pinchot calls
upon the members of the association
to put forth strong efforts to have
enacted into law the bill on the with
drawal of public lands. This bill was
reported in amended form by Senator
Nelson, following conferences between
the committee and officers of the con-
SerVation association.
OF the other eight bills he believes
that some merely require amendment.
while others must be recast. The coal
bill and the phosphate. oil, asphaltum
and natural gas bill. he reports, are
Fundamentally sound in principle, but
need some amendment.
Speaking of the, water power bill
Pinchot declares that st repeals In
silence the existing water power law
and curtails the already ample power
now, exercised. with the approval of a
former attorney general, by the de-
partment of agriculture"
The fault found by Pinchot with the
reclamation bill is that it opens re-
claimed lands to absentee landlords
and to spectators.
bad feature of the bill for the sale
of timber and timber lands, he declares
is that it replaces the objectiona BILE
features of the timber and stone act
which are an inducement to specu-
lation In government tfmbers, with pro-
visions that promote speculation and
retard the development of agricultural
and mineral lands far more than did
the act it repeals.
In falling to separate the surface
from the underlying minerals the bill
for the classification of public lands is
inconsistent with the coal bill, he finds

and reported by Senator Nelson, makes

about 1 o'clock until p. m.
At about or $50 he held a short
conversation with a girl in front of
the schoolhouse, fastening away into
the brush as soon as he left the girl.
On being followed the man increased
his speed and finally took to his heels,
losing himself entirely on account or
the thickness of the brush and the fact
that it was becoming dusk
The man is described as being feet
TX inches in height, heavy build,
brown suit, sandy mustache and walk
ing with a springy walk and slight
shrug of the shoulder.
The girl was wearing white waist,
gray skirt, OK blood shoes and had no
hat.
Sheriff Taylor wishes to locate the
girl and learn what the conversation
with the man was. as he is of the
opinion that it may lead to- clew IN

GIVEN BY ARCHITECT


Walter T Solenberger, an architect
who formerly liver at hillside terrace,

clew to the solution of the Tamalpais
murder mystery yesterday when he
called at the San Rafael morgue and
partly identified the clothing found
with the body as similar in design to
that worn by a girl who's frequently
passed his place on the trail which
leads from Mill Valley to Muir wood
and Tamalpais.
'On the Saturday following the fourth
of July, and on eight Saturdays follow
ing that" said Solenberger, Il saw this
girl pass my place. She always wore
blue suit, similar in style to that found
with the Tamalpais corpse. She seemed

years OF age, and she was reading q let
ter when l would see her. l noticed
particularly that she would be reading
this letter every time l saw her.
SO far as I can judge, her suit was
the same as that worn by the murdered
girl and her height was about the same.
But she wort soft brown felt hat and
not blue straw, such as the murdered
girl wore.
For about two months after July 4
l would see teh girl regularly every
Saturday. but then her visits to Mill

which connects Muir wood and Tamal-
