ernor Gillett and recently in the en-
ploy of the state engineering depart
ment. was shot down and killed today
by a man believed to be Sidney E. Cole
Of San Francisco.
Miss Dudley was on her wdy to the
capitol and as she passed an alley Cole
opened fire. Her cries quickly at
tracted a crowd; Cole, calmly re-
loaded his revolver and levelling it at
II. II. Potter. who was the first to
reach the scene, told him to "clear out"
Potter started to run and Cole shot
him in the knee. a negro, Sam G.
Mickey. was shot in the arm. Cole
stood over the body firing an occasional
shot in the direction of an approach
ing crowd. and then turned his revolver
upon the PROSTATE form at his feet.
firing four shots into the body. He
then ran down the alley with the crowd
at his heels.
| a police patrol wagon was sent in
/ pursuit Then ensued an exciting re
volver battle. The crowd had chased
| the man through the northern section
! of the city. He crossed over the north
Ievee and disappeared in the brush on
the opposite side, near the American
river
Deputy Sherfffs Thisby and Moffat
shot at him after he had answered
their command to surrender with his
pistol. Thisby approached within fifty
fleet of the murderer and the two men
Exchanged shots. While Thisby and
Cole were thus engaged the police ar
rived
! Captain Pennish with a short barrel
pump gun loaded with buckshot, fired
into the thickest point of the bush. The
shot brought a reply from Cole and PO-
lice Captain Pennish ran down into the
brush still firing. Cole gave yell and
tumbled over. Deputy Moffett ran to
the man and found him dying. riddled
with buckshOt.
The motive for the crime is mys-
terry. The theory is advanced that Cole
was infatuated with the young woman.
Miss Dudley met Cole in the office Of
DR.. Wong in San Francisco about a
year ago when she had gone there for
treatment She did not mention his
name or otherwise discuss him with
her friends and it is believed that he
was endeavorinG to force his attentions
upon her.

city and also in Eureka where she had
formerly resided. She was reported to
be engaged to r. p. Antilles. a musician
in San Francisco, but quarre! is said
to have terminated their relations.

Los Angeles. July 26.-"Oh. what's
the use to be a knocker?" asked
John ]. Mcnamara, the alleged dyna
mite plotter. today when for the
first time since he arrived here April
26 he was granted an interview in
thecourse of which he was asked
what he thought of Ortie T.. Nc
Manigal. the alleged confessed dyna-
mited.
John ]. Mcnamara did what talk
ing was done at the interview, his
brother saying little To the reporters
except in greeting and farewell. John
j. Mcnamara declared that he had
little to make public regarding the
cases against him. He said ne could
only repeat the statement ne issued
shortly after his arrival here in
which he asked the public to re-
member they would prove his asser-
tions of innocence and asking that
the trial of himself and his brother
be confined to the court
He discussed his manner of pass

CONTROLLER BAY HISTORY.

He relates how Ryan, representing
the Controller Railway and Naviga-
tion company, applied in 1909 for the
elimination of tract to enable TINS
company to secure railroad terminals.
etc The application was referred to
the Forestry bureau and then to the
Navy department with a view that
perhaps the navy desired to use Con-
troller Bay as a reservation. The for
estry interests found no objection TO
the elimination of the tract indicated,
'or indeed" as the president writes
Ito the elimination of $4,000 acres on
the northwest shore of Controller
Bay"
The navy departments answer was
negative" says the president and
after the matter had been considered
by the secretary of agriculture. by
the secretary of the interior, and the
general land office. Il recommendation
was made to him that 800 acres with
a frontage of $50 rods on the north
west shore of Controller Bay be
thrown open a formal order to this
effect was finally submitted to him
in Octorber, 1910 but when the mat
ter came before the cabinet late in
that month he found objection to it.
His reasons for taking this stard he
explains i'm his message are in part as
follows:

future act deliberately and voluntarily

future act deliberately and voluntarily
confer it"
Having explained in detail his rea-
sons for opening up the land in ques-
tion, the president takes occasion to
answer several incidental criticisms
The order has been criticised because
II was not in the form of a proclama-
ton, instead of an order" he writes
This was determined by Mr.. Graves, the
forester, he explains, and he quotes a
letter of Mr.. Graves to the effect that
when a comparatively small area is
eliminated from a national forest the
executive order is very commonly used
instead of a proclamation.
As to the charge made on the floor
of the senate that the order was Sc
cret, the president says. This was ut
terly unfOunded." In support Of this
he says that ten days before the order
was made the details of Ryan's appli-
cation and the probability of its being
granted were given wide publicity. He
cites in this respect that The Associa-
ted Press carried an account Of the
matter October 2Sth, 1910, rs, taker
from a typewritten statement issued by
the interior department.

Butte, Mont. July 26.-The proposed
amalgation Of the Western Fedora

Of a resolution presented today to the
miners convention. The resolution

such powers.

Washington, July 26.-It became

PERSONNEL MADE NO DIFFER
ENCE.

The president says he had every
assurance at the time that the Com
troller Railway and Navigation COM
pany was an Independent enterprise
working in all good faith, and that
no evidence to the contrary has
since been brought to his attention.
"Of course it was possible" he con-
tinues. that the owners of the Cop
per River Railway company (Messrs.
Morgan and Guggenheim) might at
tempt to buy this railroad. 1t was
possible that Mr.. Ryan was acting
for the interest of the Copper River
railroad, although | did not believe
il; but whether this was true or not
il was clear that the order of elimin-
alton by reason of the restrictions
of the act of congress would not per-
NIT the owners of either railroad Ia
shut out ony other capitalists" "
Moreover, he states, the rates to be
charged would be always subject to
/, congressional control. and if gov
ernment ownership seemed the wise
policy under the peculiar circum-
stances condemnation was an easy
method.

THE ALTERED ORDER.

The order has also been criticised.
he says, on the ground that it did not
contain a provision delaying its taking
effect for thirty days after its publica-
tion, as orders restoring land to set
tlement by homesteaders frequently do.
In this respect the president says: IAN
examination of the record furnishes an
explanation of this feature of the order
as made. When in October the two
departments had agreed with my acqui-
escence that the order should be an
elimination of only 800 acres ii
was deemed wise to spread on the face
of the order a specific declaration that
II was made to afford terminals for the
Controller Railway and Navigation
company. and as no one else was eX-
pected To intervene and take up any
part of the eliminated tract, the re-
storation was made immediate The
form thus amended was submitted to
she secretary OF agriculture, who ex-
pressed his preference for the imme-
diate restoration order. When l di-
rected the striking out of the refer
ence to the railway company and the
enlargement of the area from $50 acres
to 1880 acres, the form Of the order
in its provision for immediate restor-
alton was not changed. l have no
doubt that this was the reason why the
| order issued took the form it did. Had
the postponement clause been sug-
gested. would, doubtless. have directed
it to be embodied in the order. But
the event has proven that ii was really
not important in this case, for in now

dent adds. his brother does not even

As for eliminating the land IN ques-
tion from the reserve. the president
saws that there is no danger of the
Controller Railway and Navigation
companv or any other interests monop-
olizing the field, and that there Is moth
ing TO show that this company IS in any

genheim interests. Hence, he believes

ment of the International Harvester
company was given out by Clarence
s. Funk. the general manager tonight.
In reply to charge that the Har-
vester company was receiving rebates
from the United States Steel corpora
ton. the officials of the company said
that little steel was bought from the
steel Trust the company getting
most of its material from its own
mills. the wisconsin Steel company,
and large part Of the remainder

DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERvA-
TON.

81 am as strongly convinced as
anyone of the necessity for the con-
servation Of our national resources
says the president, and as much
opposed as any one to their mOnopo-
liZation by large corporations. but
my convictions on this point did not
deter me from taking the step which
hoped might lead to encouraging
the construction of a railway from
Controller Bay to the Bering coal
fields I thought the pairing down
of the amount Of public land to he
acquired for terminals by the rail-
way company proposing To build the
railroad was poor policy and one not
calculated to secure investment or
speedy construction"
The president goes on to explain that
there are bound limitations cover
ing the method for securing title for
government lands and for this reason
he feels no fear Of any interest obtain
ing a monopoly. Briefly the restric-
tions are:
F'irst-Not more than 150 acres can
be entered i'm a single body by scrip.
Second-No location of scrip along
any navigable river or other waters
can be made within eighty rods OF any
lands along such waters, and no entry
can be allowed extending more than
100 rods along the shore of any navi-
gable water; and along such shore
space of at least eighty rods must be
reserved from entry between all such
tclaims.
Third-Nothing in the act contained
| is to be construed to authorize entries
| to be made or title to be acquired to
the shore Of any navigable waters
within the district.

CATION company or any other persons

tary of agriculture, after full discus
sion, had agreed in my conclusion, To
prepare a letter setting forth the rea-

ton, so that it might become a part
Of the record.
Il wish TO be as specific as pos
sible upon this point, and TO say that

Former Attorney General
B@aparte Dragged In
ALLEGED REM|SSAESs
Neglect to Act on Report
Showing that Harvester
Trust, Part of Steel Com
bine. Was a Willful Vic
lator of the Law.

Washington, d. c., July 26-Attorncy
General Wickersham appeared before
the stanley ''steel trust" investigating
committee today to tell what he knows
concerning a report made to former At
torncy General BOnaparte by Burdette
Townsend, a special agent Of the de-
partment I'm 1908. in which the latter
said that the International Harvester
company had operated in violation of
the Sherman antitrust act.
Attorney General Wickersham. when
shown a copy of the voluminous docu-
ment by Representatives Stanley, said
he never had seen it before. though
since he had been attorney general he
had heard rumors that there had been
an investigation of the harvester com
bine.
The matter was injected into the
steel inquiry because the report
charged that the steel corporation pays
a rebate of SO a ton to the harvester
companies on steel purchased.
Despite protests from the Steel cor
poration counsel that the International
Harvester line of inquiry was apart
from the inquiry directed by congress,
Chairman Stanley insisted that it was
essential and he said he had informa-
tion tending to show that the harvest
er and steel companies were practically
the same. Attorney General Wicker
sham agreed to have Mr.. Townsend
who is still in the service of the de-
partment appear before the committee
at a later day.
I'VE will have Mr.. Carnegie before us
| in October, said Chairman Stanley
and perhaps you could arrange to have
Mr. Townsend appear about thai time
The features Of the TOWNSEND report
are

MoNoPoLYIMPossIBLE.

"The whole contention that the ex-
ecutive order and the opening to set
tlement of the shoe of Controller bay
grants monopoly to the railway COM
pany," he resumes, rests on claim
that il has given an opportunity to per-
sons using scrip to appropriate the con-
troll Of the only available and practi-
cable parts of the. channel by the loca-
tion of the scrip opposite to those
parts. If now the location of the scrip
opposite to the harbor gives no right
to reach the harbor except as congress
may expressly give it, clearly the Con-

for exclusive appropriation of the har-
Dor facilities unless congress shall by
