cHEEcHAco PlNcHoT AND HIS
 ARSENAL.

The sign of the tenderfoot IS his clothes and equipment When the klondike excitement was at it's height there was an animated curio on every corner Of Seattle-a chcchaco headed for the gold fields and determined 10 find them according to the approved fashion.
 Maybe the newcomer wor. buck skin In some ridiculous style. or boots proclaiming the swashbuck or a broad and conspicuous bell and of course. somewhere on his person was big gun; for no one from the states would think Of penetrating the wiIds without his trusty pumperino.
 Al the height of the rush the SIag- way trail was lined with rejected guns, freak clothing and useless camp utensils But the lesson of that era has not been learned Tn. newcomer gets knowledge ouIy by making the same old mistakes
 For instance. among recent arrivals is Pinchot. with his sacritcia soul sin gle to the salvation of the land his so-called policies have cursed.
 If ever an interloper looked the part of the tenderfoot, it is this same con. servationist What does Pnchat know about the subject of which t, pre- tends to have mastery
 The answer is little or nothing. If you doubt il, look at his outfit. for that alone would give him away.
 When Pinchot went to Boring Ink, he wore cartridge belt filled to the final loop-and strapped to hlm were Colt forty-five revolver-a big hunt ing knife and other implements of n hostile character
 What use there can possibly ha for such an arsenal nobody can tell The man who has gone over rough roun- try liehtens his load as much as possi- bIe About the first things he dis. cards are shooting irons and ammuni- ton. They are too heavy for comfort and their use is nll Pinchot keeps his weapons within easy reach. He has get Co learn that Alaska is a peaceab'e land-that the stranger is safer there than he womb be in certain districts ar tna large cities.
 When Pmehot goes armed like tn, traditional bad man he shows hi, crude understanding of the couutry-i as If resolved to repcl violence and to sell hls life dearly should tho fatafuI moment come.
 Tie does not realize that if some outraged Alaskan should want 10 "ga, him. the rcvolvers and the big knife would not stand in the way
 Alaskans do not fancy Pinehot Tn.y object to his yapld theories and bfs l obstructive tactics. From him has not 1 yet come the fslntest shadow of n suggestion of constructive legislation They have concluded. nronar,v enough that man who knows noth- l ing of frontier conditions is not tbo man to say Thou shalt not" ta pion. eers. Even so, as Americans. they are willing 10 grant to Pinchot and to an l other citizens the privilege of theorIz- ing and expressing opinions within proper bounds. as they may see it.

SASH WORKS HAS A
FIRE; $50 DAMAGE
Blaze Discovered in Shaving Vault
Of the Power House Yester-
day Afternoon.

Fire broke out yesterday afternoon
in the shaving vault OF the power
house of the Rock Island Sash and
Door works, Third avenue and Twen-
ty-sixth street, burning several joists
and resulting in considerable damage
to the roof of the building. The alarm
was turned in at 5:45, and it was near
ly two hours before the fire engines
returned. The company had its own
fire department at work until the city
department arrived on the scene.
The fire caught from the boilers,
which are fed shavings automatically
from the vault through pipes leading
from the top Of the building, a back
draft carrying the flames up the trough
into the shaving bin In getting to the
fire it was necessary to cut through
the roof, which consisted of paper and
tar lined with sheeting. The fire burn
ed very slowly and $50 will probably
cover the damages.

Md, last week, where he addressed big crowd. At that time he apologzed for his hoarseness, which was not lessened by his efforts.
 In view of his condition Dr. Dulaney tonight gave imperative orders that Mir Taft must remain indoors for the time being. The President has not left the White House for AS hours, but he has at tended to pressing business. Obeying the physicians commands, MT. Taft expressed his regret to the Richmond congress.
 There were rumors that MT. Taft was threatened with pneumonia, but these were emphatically denied at the White House.
 "A bad cold and nothing more.' was the way the report was disposed Of
 Charles D. Hilles, secretary to the Pres ident. like his chief. also is the victim of a severe cold He was confined to his bed today but his physician believes he will be able to take up his duties in the executive offices tomorrow.

The coming of the ambassador is of vastly greater interest than ordi- narily attaches to a shift of the diplo- matic corps, for he arrives at time when wave of popular and official protest is at its height against his gov ernment because it refuses to honor American passports without discrin- mating against Jews.
 It is understood the ambassador comes empowered to negotiate treaty of friendly relations of [? years stand ing between this country and Russia, the abrogation of which Is advocated in Russia pending action of Congress.
 T cannot discuss anything until have communicated with the state de- partment at Washington he said. You see I have been at sea for a week and am not In touch with affairs"
 The ambassador was informed of a accusation which Jacob Schiff made last week charging indirectly that Join Hayes Hammond had acted as agent
 
 for the Russian government in cer- tain activities because of the Influence 1t was believed he had with President Taft. The amba assador declared he was interested. but declared he was tn no position "to criticise."
 With the, ambassador was his Amer ican wife daughter of the late Gen. Edward F. Beaie, whom he married while he was secretary to the Russian legation in Washington many years ago.
 Washington, November 19---Tle new Russian ambassador and Madam Bakh- meliff, accompanied by the entourage of members of the, Russian embassy stan. arrived in Washington today from New York and went directly to a local ho- tel. Madame Kakhmeliff is native of this city. being daughter of the late Gen. Edward r. Beale. The new ain- bassador and Madame Bakhmeliff were dinner guests tonight of MT. and Mrs. John R.
