San Diego, Calif., March 29.-It
was reported at police headquarters
this morning that Thomas Foreman.
the 17-year-old high school boy who
ran away with pretty 15-year-old
Gertrude Seifert for the second time
last night, had been surrounded by
posse headed by the girls father
at Descanso, six miles from the
place and had shot at the pursuing
party several times.
He took the girl away in an auto
last night.
The pair tried to elope on March
21, but were overtaken at Santa
Ana and were brought back before
they had found a minister who
would marry them.
The girl let herself down from her
bedroom last night with a sheet and
joined the youth who was waiting
with an automobile. He had bor-
rowed $35 from his father, saying
he must leave town to live down the
shame attached to his first failure.
John r. Reifert, the girls father,
a wealthy liquor dealer was nearly
frantic late last night when he
learned that his daughter had run
away again. With Detective Meyers
he set out in a machine after the
young couple.
The newspapers and the police
sent fast machines out to Deseaps0
as soon as word of the shooting was
received. The machine containing
Reifert and Meyers reached Descan-
so at 1890 o'clock today. Meyers
telephoned that several shots had
already been fired.

Washington, March 29.-"He was

of Assistant Justice David Josiah

The death of Justice Brewer
leaves only seven active members in
the supreme court, as Justice Moody
has been unable to serve since the
beginning of the present session ow-
ing to i'll health. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that Lloyd Bowers, now So
licitor general, will be appointed by
Taft to fill the vacancy on the bench.
Bowers was considered the presi.
dents second choice when he ap-
pointed Judge Lurton recently, to
succeed the late Justice Peckham.
Justice Brewer died a few min
utes after 10 o'clock last night from
a stroke of apopplexy. He was
stricken so suddenly that he died
before he could get to his bed. Mrs.
Brewer was by his side when he
died.
The aged jurist had not been feel
ing well for several days. Yesterday
he was apparently in good health.
He spent the evening reading. He
retired shortly before 10 O'Clock.
Later Mrs. Brewer heard a heavy
fall. She investigated and found
Justice Brewer lying on the floor of
the bath room. He was unconscious
and died before a physician could
reach the house. He was 73 years
old. Justice Brewer was the second
Oldest member of the supreme
court. He came to the supreme
court from the federal court of Kan
sas.
He was considered one of the best
versed men in the country on cor

Justice Brewer was a Western

he was younger he always spent

while here has been conservation

tial spigot, there has been enormous
waste going on at the congressional
bung," declared Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon, today, in speaking on
the bill empowering the president to
withdraw public lands for forestry
sites and other purposes. Chamber
lain favors the measure.
The bill specifies that the presi-
dent may withdraw land for water
power sites. irrigation, forestry re-
serves, classification or other public
purposes.
In giving his reasons for favoring
the measure Chamberlain said that

the right of the president to with
draw portions of the public. domain

days.

He argued that it is necessary to
conserve undisposed and unappro-
priated natural resources, and faY-
ored the bill as the best plan for
accomplishing this purpose.
lie cited a number of federal
court sessions uphold'ng the presi
dents power to withdraw lands,
contending that the present measure
is constitutional.
"I have not been able to find" he
said, ANY case in which the author
ity has been uestioned until the
point was raised by the secretary Of
the interior in his annual report Of
last year, and possibly later. by the
president himself.
"It seems to be that a policy
which has proven saultatory in
years past and has resulted in the
prevention of the monopolization Of
many natural resources ought not to
have been lightly set aside by this or
by any other administration.
my own regret is that the presi-
dents power of withdrawal has not
been more frequently and fully used
in the past"
Regarding the improvidence of
congress in land legislation Cham
berlain said that through lack of
safeguards great tracts entered for
speculative purposes under the ori-
ginal pre-emption law eventually
were reputed to be largely the cause
of land frauds.

'In Oregon 3,556,930 acres were
acquired under this act while in
Washington 2,070,563 acres were
acquired and in California 2,717,-
010 acres.
These frauds were known to all
men and nothing has ever been done
to make them impossible by repeal
ing the law.
Congress is careless in language.
1t wrote into the railroad laws a
clause under which the railroads
have taken lands aggregating 162,-
654,964 acres"
Chamberlain condemned roundly

Catania, March 29.-The civil au-
thorities today ordered $4,000 resi-
dents of the Southern slope of
Mount Aetna and vicinity to aban-
don their homes in anticipation of a
great eruption of the volcano.
The action of the authorities was
based on an official report by a
party of scientists who risked their
lives in climbing the mountain and
making an examination of several
fissures. The scientists could ap-
proach only the lower assures on the
mountain and this they did at immi-
nent risk of suffocation. The report
shows that Aetna is ehoked with
masses of rock and ashes which
have become distended upward by
great pressure from gases in the in
terrier of the mountain.
The constant recurring explosions
within the craters lead to the belief
on the part of the observers that
Aetna soon will burst the temporary
safety valve and throw tremendous
fountain of volcanic matter from her
depths.

When Aetna recently subsidized
Vesuvius became active. Now, save
for a thin column of smoke, Vesu-
vius is quiet. Aetna is in an active

and the present choking of the era
lieve that unless the volcano throws
off the clogging obstacles another
great earthquake will shake Sicily
The orders to the inhabitants of
the villages on Aetna's slopes have
caused sorrow among the refugees
here. They believe that the destruc-
tion of their homes and farms is
foreshadowed in the governments
acton.
Already the thousands of peasants
had left their houses and camped in
the open fields. Now they have
been ordered to abandon these and
are forced from the volcano.
Uneasiness is felt here because of
the reported broadening of the dan
ger zone. The scientists report that
the new crater at Volta San Gia-
como is particularly active and was
uDapproachable. This opening is
the one which partly ruined the
towns of CASTILLO and Atbanelli.
Slight earthquake shocks in the
vincinity of the mountain are felt
from time to time but these are in
consequential and have caused no
loss of life.

instance the orders to abandon the
towns on the southern slope we're is

Papers Make No Attack.

Cairo, Egypt March 29.-Contra-
ry to expectations the nationalist
press did not attack Roosevelt for
yesterdays speech. The Nationalist
comment following the Khartoum
speech was very bitter. Today
there was no trace of bitterness.
The absence of severe criticism Is
attributed 10 the heart TO heart talk
Roosevelt had Sunday with the Ma
tioDalist editors, telling them men
must have the courage of their con-
viotions, and that they must be lem
lent with those who differed In their
views.
Roosevelt is credited with a clever
political stroke in coming here and
telling the people what no other per-
sons have dared 10 tell them, and be-
ing able to make the people listen
to him.
Despite the fact that there is lit
tie open comment the Nationalists
resent the speeches made here.
They will not endeavor to make an
issue of the speech until the colonel
has departed but II is believed here
that later the Nationalist press will
comment more freely than they
have yet done.

London, March 20. - England
will breathe easier when Theodore
Roosevelt leaves Egypt.
That is the opinion today of many
politicians who obviously do not de-
sire to be quoted directly in view of
the Americans coming visit to Bri-
tain.
The diplomatic set here have only
praise for Roosevelt's fearlessness in
expressing his conviction publicly
and forcibly.
They fear however that political
speeches of Colonel Roosevelt will go
far toward unbalancing a delicate
adjustment of the political equili-
brium which at present Is in a posi-
tion to be overthroWn easily.
An indication of England's fear is
the action of the foreign Office today
in wiring to Sir Eldon Gorst, the
British agent in Egypt, directing
him to use every endeavor to avoid
repetition of the situation which
arose yesterday following Roose-
velt's address.
The foreign Office has had a meta
phorical finger on the Egyptian
pulse and although Roosevelt was
praised by the Egyptians, it is be-
lieved that they are nursing resent
ment which 1t is feared may break
forth when the American leaves
African soil.

Divorce Nm Grist.

Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing was divorce day in Judge Gallo
ways court, and In all six DEGREES
we're granted. Three OF them were
granted during the afternoon, but,
owing to the fact that the court was
busy with some other matters, and
could not hear the other three cases
and the parties were in attendance
a night session, which lasted until
about 10 o'clock was held. In three
OF the cases cruel and inhuman treat
ment figured as ground of divorce,
and the other DEGREES were awarded
on the ground of desertion.
The case of Alice ID. Bernard
against Kenneth Bernard was the
first case heard. She is a sister of
Homer Davenport. the famous car
toonist, and was awarded a decree on
the ground OF cruel and inhuman
treatment. They were married In
Flagstaff, Arizona, In 1905, and there
has been born to them as a result OF
the union a son, Max, aged three
years.
On similar grounds the matrimo- |
NAL bonds existing between Lille ID. |
Davis and Lincoln Davis were sew
cred; also those OF Olive Peirce and ,
LoRonda Peirce. Mr.. Peirce was
awarded $l1OO in the decree.
The cases In which DEGREES were
granted on the grounds of desertion
were Amanda j. Hastings against
Jame5 n, Hastings; LeOla Cayce
against e. N. CaYce and Mason Mick
enham against Mary Mlckenham.
Carey Martin represented the
plaintiff In the last two named cases.
