VISITOR TO THE CAPITAL

Should Perkins Resign.

Francis H. Heney, prosecutor for the
government in the San Francisco Sraft
trials and q dominant figure in the push
ing of the land frauds investigations in
the west, left Washington for New York
at noon today. Mr.. Heney Is now q citi-
zen of San Francisco and is actively in
terested in local, state and national
politics. He discussed several matters of
Importance politically in his state today
just before starting for his train.
There Is no truth in the rumor that
Gov. Johnson Of California Is committed
to my appointment to the position Of
United States senator from California in
the event that Senator Perkins resigns
prior to the expiration Of his term of
office, which will be In 1915" said Mr..
Heney.
Gov Johnson never talked with me on
that subject, and l am confident that he
Is not committed to any person. He Is
perfectly free to appoint whoever he may
consider will best represent the interests
of California, should there be vacancy
at any time.
II hope, however, that Senator Perkins
will serve out his full term. He has rep
resented California for q great many
years.
Appointment Of Cobb.
There has been altogether too much
talk about the appointment OF Charles
w. -obb as assistant attorney general in
the Interior Department to succeed Oscar
LAWYER. Mr.. Cobb was selected by Sec
rotary Fisher on tho advice Of many
San Francisco lawyers and solely On his
merits.
Senator Perkins was consulted, and
he acted in a most friendly way, and
showed himself to be free from any
factional bias. He looked at the ap-
pointment in the way that others with
any sense looked at 1t, to wit, as per-
sonal choice of Secretary Fisher. based
on merit and having nothing in it Of
politics or patronage.
II confess that the Job Of United
States senator il one which I should
like to I'LL. II the people Of California
decide in my favor under the new
direct primary law, but the issue is q
long way of at present. and many
changes may take place before that

HOUSE TAKES STEPS
TO CONSERVE SEALS
Adopts Resolution by Repre-.
sentative Harrison Designed
to Protect Alaska Herds.

a thorough investigation Of the Alaska
seal fisheries with view to definite and
practical action toward conservation Of
the herds was authorized by the House
today in the adoption Of a resolution Of
fered by Representative Francis Burton
Harrison and reported from the ways
and means committee.
The resolution calls upon the Secre-
tary Of Commerce and Labor for copies
of all official reports concerning the
slaughter Of the seal herds and for gen.
eral and detailed information upon the
subject. The report accompanying the
resolution set forth the facts SO often
presented to Congress concerning the
rapid depletion by wanton slaughter Of
the seal herds and the danger Of their
final extinction.
The resolution was amended by
striking out provision which called
for copies Of letters sent by individ-
ident and the Attorney General, and
transmitted to the department. This
amendment led to questions by Repre-
sentative Murdoch as to what would be
omitted by excluding such letters.
Untrue Statements in Letters.
1t was stated in response that some
Of the letters which would have been
included in this order were of q scan
dalous and untrue character, and 1t was
not deemed advisable to have them &C
company the official report.
Mr.. Murdoch expressed the fear that
the committee will not secure any
more information than is already avail
able. II the reports of private indi-
viduals are to be ignored.
Mr.. Harrison replied that the writer's OF
the letters will have opportunity to pre-
sent their charges to the committee, and
added that he hoped they will.
Mr.. Murdoch said he judged, then. that
the committee proposed to make an in
vestigation Of the whole subject, and
Mr.. Burton assured him that such an
investigation will be made If any facts
developed by the report warrant 1t.
