LETTER BATTLE RENEWED
Days Gaynor-Prentice Exchange
Ends in Chairman's Favor.
MAYOR SILENT ON KENNEDY
Prentice Says Forged Quota
tions" in Ridder Epistle Were
Taken from Newspapers.

The exchange of epistolary bouquets-or
hrickbats-between Mayor Gaynor and
Chairman Prentice of the Republican State
Committee continued yesterday. The day
closed with the honors resting with the
chairman. Mayor Gaynor had not stated
his opinion of John J. Kennedy. the Demo
cratic candidate for State Treasurer.
The day opened with the receipt by the
Mayor of a letter from the state chairman
in reply to the one from the Mayor, In
which he said he never favored the nonni-
nation of Justice Keogh'' by the Democrats.
II was as follows:
Your letter of November 8, given TO the
newspapers a day before its receipt by me,
reached me this morning.
l never understood that Judge keosh was
a candidate for Governor, but | am reliably
informed that Judge keogh said that you
favored his nomination.
The point of my interview was the inquiry
whether when you wrote in the letter %
Mr.. Herman Ridder. referring to Mr. DIX
mis- associates also measure up 20 those
who are running against them" you were
familiar with the record of John J. henne-
dy. the Democratic candidate for state
Treasurer. To that you do not reply- ana
now ask you the question directly
Straightway the Mayor called his stenog-
rapher and dictated the following reply
which was given TO the waiting war CORE
sponderts:
am glad TO perceive from yosIr letter OF
November 4. just received, that l have al
ready so far cured you of your propensity
TO make false statements that you DROP
YOUR forged quotation frcm my letter 10 Mr.
Bidder and use the correct quotation
While the lamp holds out 10 burn the vilest
sinner may return.
But the Mayor failed TO answer the vital
point In Chairman Prentice's letter. and the
latter quickly called his attention 10 this
in a letter which was dispatched to the
City Hall late in the day:
l beg to acknowledge your letter of No
venlber 5th, in which you are unable or
unwilling TO reply 10 my inquiry about john
j. Kennedy.
My quotation from your letter 10 Mr.. Rid
der was taken from the newspapers.

Washington. Nov. 5.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day upheld the

excessive. To permit the roads in this
section TO be of ultimate lasting advantage
to the Southern people. the commission
said, the carriers should be permitted to
charge rates fully compensating them for
their services. Dissenting opinions were

professions. Many of the rank and file
among them are sincerely progressive but

10 ask the support, not only of Republi-

around in a confused mist of purposeless
dissatisfaction and for leadership have IN

like Governor Judson Harmon, are able and
practical, but whose purpose is sinister

SAYS HE WAS
PAID BY BLOW

Claiming that when he asked for
his wages for work performed as Ia
borer on the farm of Carl Crowley,
near Eureka, the only answer or pay
he received was several hard knocks
on the Uranium with a two-by-two
scantling, August Schultz today swore
out a warrant for the arrest of his for
mer employer on a charge of assault
and battery. Schultz had been work
ing as a farm hand for Crowley for
sometime and on March 10 decided to
quit, but ON asking for his time was
given a beating for his impertinence.
The case will come up in Justice of
the Peace T. M. McKinney's court in
a few days, as soon as the defendant
is apprehended and brought in for
trial.

FOREST FIRES
OF. LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, d. C, March 81
Fire played less havoc in the wood
lands Of the National Forest states that
year than it did in 1908, although the
number of fires was 40 greater. The
department of agriculture has just
completed the statistics. The protec
tive value of the work of the depart
ment is shown in that % almost 80
percent of the fires were extingufshed
before as much as five acres had been
damaged; CD less than one and one
half acres to the square mile Of Ma
tional Forest land was burned over;
60 and the amount of damage done to
the burned-over area averaged but
s126 per acre.
For the II month ended December
81, last, there were 3,13S fires on the
Forests, 1,1S6 caused by locomotives,
431 by campers, 294 by lightning, 1S1
by brush burning, 81 by incendiaries, 3S
by sawmi.is and donkey engines, 1853
by miscellaneous and 1873 by unknown
agencies. The area burned over was,
in round figures, 100000 acres, of
which about $4,000 were private lands
in National Forests, as against some
400, 900 acres in 1908. Some 10000
900 board feet Of timber was consumed.
of which 33,0O0,0OO feet was privately
owned as against 230000,000 in the
timber destroyed was less than $780,
900, of which close to $4,000 was pri-
before was about $450,000. Damage
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-21

done to reproduction and forage shows
a remarkable decrease, less than $780,
600 being the record for 1909 and over
100000 that for 1908.
The largest number of fires occurred
in Idaho-991; but the great increase
over 1908 in that state-namely, SIS
is entirely attributable to fires in the
Occur d'A enc, which were extinguish-
ed without material damage. Loco
motive sparks were accountable for
Gil of the blazes in this Forest last
year. The explanation of the increase
in the total for all Forests is to be
found in this Occur d'Alene increase.
The report of the forester for 1909
said of the fire record of 1908: THAT
year was one of prolonged drought
during the summer and fall and of
disastrous forest fires throughout the
country. The National Forests suf-
fered relatively little. : About
232, 191,0 board feet of TIMBER or
006 per cent. of the stand, was des-
troyed A total of 2,72S
fires was reported, of which 2,0S9 were
small fires confined as rule to an
area of five acres or less. The cost
of fire fighting, exclusive of the SAL
aries of forest officers, was $73 2S3.33.
This sum, added to the proportion of
the total salaries of rangers and
guards properly chargeable to patrol

ue of the timber protected; estimated
at an average stumpage value of 81

Stockholders Of the Pullman COM
pany met today and passed on prepo-
sition for a stock dividend of $4,000,
600 to be distributed gratis among the
present holders of the corporations
$1GO 100000 capitalization.
This is called "capitalizing the
company's surplus assets" Officers Of
the company issued the following ad-
ditional explanation:
1.-THE considerations influencing this
action are that the increased invest
ment in the manufacturing facilities of
the company have been so material
and considerable as to justify the di-
rectors in the belief that it should be
represented in additional capital stock
of the company.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-21

There. were certain reserve ac-
counts in the manufacturing depart
ment which have hitherto been held
in allegiance to meet contingencies
which present conditions render i'm
probable
These items, together with the ex-
listing surplus as shown in the pub
lished statement of the last fiscal year
and the current results of operation,
are regarded by the board as a justifi-
cation for making this recommended
tion'
This is not the first melon cut by
the Pullman company. Among other
juicy slices handed out to the stock
holders were these:
In August, $685. when the concern
had a capital of s36, OOO 900, it declared
an extra cash dividend of 20 per cent.
In November, 1898, it declared a
stock dividend Of 50 per cent. lncreas-
ing the capital stock to $54,OOOOOO.
In November, 1906, it declared an
extra stock dividend of So per cent,
increasing the capital stock to $780,
100000.
The new melon will increase the
capital to $12O,0OO,OOO, with $4,000, 900

OFFICIALS ARE
VERY UNEASY

PITTSBURG, Mar. 20.-That for
mer Councilman John Klein, by his
confession of the whole councilmanic
bribery plot which has been simmering
since June, 1908. has caused many un-
easy moments to present and former
office holders, was apparent today
about the city hall and the Fort Pitt
hotel, where detectives the Voters lea
que officials and the assistant district
attorney are said to have suites of
rooms in which they have been quiz
zing men about the graft plot in adj
dition to what has been told by Klein.
Kleins friends and family have not
heard from him, and anxious ones,
said to be DESTROYS of reaching him
before tomorrow are pointed out about
the corridors of the hotel.
1t is not denied that Klein is held
incOmmunicado in a suite of rooms
guarded by two detectives.
In the meantime councilmen have
been seen entering the rooms where
the assistant district attorney and
staff of stenographers is said to be.
Whether these men have made any
confessions is not given out. 1t is

planned, according to reports to have
those named by Klein appear before
the grand jury tomorrow. The fore
man Of the jury is Harrison Nesbit, a
former national bank examiner and
now president of the Bank of Pitts
burg.
All day detectives from the district

the 60 former councilmen implicated
in Klein's exposure. No names are
made public or even permitted to leak
out 1t is said too that several bank
officials, some of them banks not here
tofore mentioned in the bribery scan
dial, will be summoned before the grand
jury tomorrow.
Klein's assertions in his confession
are said to be most startling He kept

to other cOuncilmen on the bank de-
pository ordinances. Each mans name
was carefully listed with the amount
paid, the date of payment and where
it was paid. To some councilmen
