Little Summer Trips
Especial TO The Herald

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Forest SER
vice men pull gloomily at their pipes
with bitterness in their hearts these
days Owing to the cynicism of Secre-
tary Wilson, the approach of summer
kindles no happy anticipauons as IN
the good days of old. Delightful vaea-
/ tions at the governments expense in
the far west, amid the picturesque
surroundings of rangers cabins, don't
go any more, is the stern edict from
Uncle jim Wilson. stay on your jobs
and work." he adds tersely.
To inculcate proper forestry spirit
Clifford Pinchot encouraged them to eS-
tivate in the western parks. To make
such outings additionally attractive he
had Uncle Sam pay all the bills. Three
or four months in the mountains. drink
ing in the joys of natures wonderland.
was also a good thing, for 1T was cheap
er to be there than to pay board at
home.
In other ways has the secretary made
the present restraint more drastic than
the bureau eVor knew. No sub-chiet
can now go flirting over the country
drawing from the government funds at
will. Application for all travelling eX-
penses must now be made to the sec
rotary personally. The purpose and
details of the trip must be set forth,
and the economical o. K. of Wilson
himself is necessary nowadays in order
for forest men to get even cents Of

DEATH LAYS BARE DUAL
LIFE OF BURR WESTLAKE
Devoted Husband at Pasadena
Was a Gay Lothario
Down in San Diego

Investigation into the circumstances
attending tse suicide of Burr West
lake in san Diego last Saturday night
has revealed a strange story Of q dual
personality a tale the mystery of
which Westlake's friends, here and i'm
Pasadena and in the city to the south
are unable to solve.
la Los Angeles Burr Wcstlake was
known as young, alert and capable
business man. In Pasadena he was all
that and more There he played sue
cessfully the role of a devoted husband
and father. Apparently no woman, cX-
cepung only his wife, had any share
in his affections.
But down in san Diego he was quite
a different man-Noung, successful, de
bOnair a gallant and persistent suitor
for the hand Of Miss Bertha Schaetz.
in whose home he killed himself few
minutes aftcr she had confidcd to him
the news of her engagement to am
other man and her fixed determination
to become that mans wife.
Miss Schaetz declares that she never
even suspected Westlakc was married.
She says she did not love him, but had
enjoyed his friendship and never had
noticed anything irt his domeanor to
lead her to suspect that he was un-
balanced mentally. though the coro-
ners jury found yesterday that he had
killed himself while momentartlY in
sane.
Mrs Westake said last night that
she, for her part, never had suspected
her husband of infidelity and that she
had believed implicitly his explanations
frequently repeated that he was COM
PEELED to go to San Diego on business.
The idea that his visits to the south
ern city were undertaken so that ne
might be with another woman never
occurred to her, she said
That Westlake loved Miss Schaetz
with so uncontrolled a passion that ne
found life without her insupportaDle
seems evident from the fact OF his su-
icide That he was a kind, induIgeht
and affectionate husband and father
is attested by the members OF his 1aih-
lily 100.
There seems to have been no reason
for his suicide other than his untortu-
nate attachment for Miss SchaetZ. his
home life was pleasant, at least on llle
surface, his business affairs were not
involved. his health was good. But
he killed himself for love, and jury
found that he was insane when he
did it. ,zo
Yesterday an examination was MADE
into VVestlake's accounts with the flrm
of Carl Leonhardt, by which he was
employed According to Calvin Z. Mer-
rill, manager of the firm, everything
was in order, the investigation disclos-
ing no possible reason for the young
mans suicide. 1o.o

age from to - years. His parents

BELIEVE CONSPlRAT0RS
BORED HOLE IN DRY DOCK
Navy Department Convinced the
Sinking Was Deliberate

MANILA, May 30.-Further eXamina-
ton of the United States drydock
Dewey, which is partly submerged at
Olongapo, in Subig bay, has strength
ened the belief of those of the navy
who have held that the damage was
dore deliberately by a hand of con-
spirators against the government
However, it is now learned that the
valves had not been opened as first de
clared, although they were found to
have been leaking a little.
This leakage would not have caused
the trouble and the dock sank more
rapidly than would have been the case
had all the valves been opened and no
other opening made. The experts be-
lieve that a large hole will be found in
the port side or bottom of the deck.
1t is probable that the mystery will not
be cleared up until the dock has been
raised

BOTTOM OF LAKE BELOW
THE LEVEL OF THE SEA

Spokane, Wash.-Four hundred
and ninety-seven feet below the level
of the sea is the bottom of Lake
Chelan, in Chelan county, north CEN
trail Washington, according to a re-
port by the United States geological
survey, which shows the lake to be
1897 feet deep. The altitude is about
LOO feet For years it was believed
by residents in the district and sports
men from various parts of the coun-
try who flock there every season for
fish and game. that the lake is SO
deep It could not be sounded. This
was given out following numerous
unsuccessful attempts by farmers and
others to find bottom. The facts
reported to the geological survey and
experts were sent to the lake some
time ago. They took soundings in
various parts of the lake, which is
more than 40 miles in length. The
results of their work is published in
report issued recently by the de-
partment. In addition to the forego-
ing statistics there is a mass of tech
nical information.
