NO DINNER FOR BRUIN
BEARS ANTICIPATED FEAST DID
NOT MATERlAlIZE.
Eagles Assumed They Had PrIor
Claim on Sturgeon, and In tho
Language Of Modern Small
Boy, "Made Good"

An Oregon bear who wanted a fish
dinner felt that his desire was in q
fair way to be satisfied when he
found a large sturgeon washed up ON
the bank OF the Columbia river. Two
eagles had claimed the prize by right
OF discovery, but the bear at once
tried to dispossess them. The results
Of his effort were disappointing to
him.
One Of the eagles had flown to her
nest with pieces Of the fish and the
other was picking away at the rem
nants when the bear came tearing
through the brush. Bruin walked
straight up to the feast, but the eagle
was not to be scared away. He flap
ped his wings and stood on the de-
fensive. The bear paused a moment
and then rushed at the eagle. The
pird eluded him and scared into the
air. screaming for his mate. She came
swooping down from the nest and
Joined forces in an attack on the bear
which was SO busy tearing the stur-
geon that he paid no attention to the
royal birds until they sank their talons
In his flesh.
The howl OF rage which bruin let
out then showed that he had been
both panied and hurt" He reared up
on his launches and clawed savagely
at the birds, which whirled easily
about him. One would make dash
at his face and eyes, while the other
would hit him in the back of the neck
like a bolt from catapult. For ten
minutes or more the bear stood up to
the scratch. but by that time he had
had scratching enough and began to
evince signs of wanting to get away
AS soon as he was on all tours the
eagles were upon him, and he had to
get on his launches again to use his
paws effectively. The blood was
streaming down his face and showing
In great spots all over his glossy hide.
but the object Of the eagles appeared
to be to get at his eyes, and he seemed
fully aware Of 1t. He was very anxious
to get back to the cover Of the brush.
and the eagles were just as anxious
to prevent him. Every time he turned
toward the bushes they would plump
down on his head and try to sink their
talons In his eyes. and drum his ear
with their strong pinions.
1t was nearly half an hour from tho
time the bear came out of the brush
before he was able to drag himself
back under its friendly cover, and he
was the most dilapidated-lookingb bear
imaginable.
The eagles few to a tree and
smoothed their ruffed feathers. Then,
as their young were calling for more
food, they resumed their work Of carv.
Ing and serving the sturgeon.

Refreshing the Big Trees.

The forest service is raising several
acres of bigtree seedlings on the Tahoe
national forest in California, at moro
northerly point than any natural big
tree grove. While the giant sequoias
are found in the forests of the Sierras
at various points throughout a total
range of some $50 miles, in the north
ern two-thirds Of this range there is
practically no natural reproduction. 1t
has consequently been question
whether the species would not practi-
cally disappear from this region when
the present mature trees die.
The most northerly existing grove of
bigtrees is on the Tahoe forest, but
about "a miles southeast of the site Sc
lected for planting. This site is on a
moist fiat not far from Nevada City,
and is about 2700 feet above sea level.
The first seeding was done in the fall
of 1910, with very successful results,
and last fall an additional area was
seeded.
The method used in planting the seed
was that known to foresters as Hthe
seed spot method" Spots about six
feet apart each way were prepared by
pulverizing the earth with a garden
hoe. Seeds were then dropped on these
spots and lightly pressed in the soil
with the foot. The flourishing condi-
ton of the young seedlings gives good
reason to expect future growth Of
bigtrees at this point. With protection
of forests from fire there seems to be
no reason why the bigtrees should dis.
appear, even though scientists regard
them as survivals from a past age,
botanically speaking.

Fields, Shaft Of Real wit.

Charles A. Bigelow, the comedian,
who died few weeks ago, was made

daughter Gillian RusselD. Bigelows
lean calves were in white stockings
and his bald head was partly covered
with bull fighters hat, worn rakish-

the significance Of the attire. and
Bigelow replied that he was dressed
that way out Of compliment to his
daughter. All through the rehearsal
period Fields fished for line to flt In

when he said: II should hate to see
you dressed as an insult"

INDEPENDENCE DAY D1sAsrERs

Independence day is coming; day OF
powder-poisoning and lockjaw; day OF
hospitals and ambulances; day of mutt.
lation and fire and death. If there is
anything that is sane in the American
people it is the growing revolt against
our insane manner Of celebrating the
Fourth of July. 1t might be called elm.
cendiaries" day, for on that day the
fire fiend runs riot. No man having
any public responsibility fails to dread
it. No fire department gets through the
day and the nights on both sides of it
without exhaustion.
Never an independence" day but
scores of human being are made de-
pendent for life. Life and limb are
jeopardized by explosives thrown from
windows above the level of the street,
setting fire to clothing and menacing
the eyesight of those passing, while
upon the child, who in his innocent love
of noise and objective demonstration
responds to our present absurd kind of
celebration, falls the heavy hand of
disaster.
1t is, perhaps, too much to expect any
sudden return to sanity; but some effort
at least may be made by cities and
towns toward leading their people into
more moderate and more intelligent
forms of celebration.
1t is the duty Of every city to ar
range for its people suitable amuse.

to educate them in a rational observ.

folly can be most easily eliminated by
substitution Of something better. The

ton are unlimited, and the municipali
ties which, in the past two years, have
taken steps in this direction are already
receiving national praise for their wis

commerce COURT
GETS HARD JOLT
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS In
TERSTATE commerce CON-
MISSION AUTHORITY.
Federal Rate Laws Not to Be Tam
pered With by Commerce Court-Can
Not Be Appealed to for Relief-Lim-
tied As to Questions Of Law-Deci-
sion Announced by Justice White.

Washington.-Blow after blow was
given recently to the commerce court
by the supreme court of the United
States, which upheld the exclusive jur-
isdction of the interstate commerce
commission over the administrative ma
chinery of the federal rate laws.
The principal decision was announced
by Chief Justice White in the so-called
Proctor & Gamble case.' He was sus.
tanned by the entire court. In sub
stance, he held the commerce court
was not to substitute its judgment for
the interstate commerce commission in
the administration of the rate laws.
The specific point ruled on was that
parties who failed to get relief before
the interstate commerce commission
have no right to 60 into the commerce
court and have that court pass upon
facts to ascertain if they should have
been granted relief.
No New Powers.
In the course Of his opinion Chief
Justice White went further. He
showed that the commerce court was
not given "new and strange" powers,
but succeeded to the powers Of the
circuit courts in existence when the
commerce court was created, and that
the commerce court was limited in re-
viewing the commission g order to
questions of law.
Chief Justice White declared that
the law creating the commerce court
did not grant new powers to it over
the decisions of the interstate COM
merce commission, but merely sought
to cooperate and simplify the powers
then existing in the federal courts.
The construction which the COM
merce court had placed on it's juris.
diction, the chief justice asserted,
would wipe out the great object sought
to be accomplished by the interstate
commerce laws and would result in
great disorder and confusion.

Leather Goods Industry.

"A preliminary statement of the gen.

San Quentin RIOT
QUtLLED BY STEAM
CONVICTS THROW GLASSWARE
and TABLES; one KILLED
and TWO INJURED. -
Prisoners Call a "Grub Strike,' But
Are Soon Subdued-About 500 Take
and Water for Six Months-Ruef
and McNamaras Very Docile.

San Quentin, Cal.-Live steam was
turned into the kitchen Of San Quentin
penitentiary before a malignant prison
ers' "grub strike'' that was started
Sunday in the dining room about the
middle of the afternoon meal, could be
quelled.
One rioter was shot dead in a door
way Of the dining room by an outside
guard on the prison wall, and one was
wounded; one innocent prisoner was
struck by a glancing bullet; one guard
was badly cut in the back Of the head
by flying vinegar cruet, and numerous
other prisoners who had and had not
joined in the demonstration were bruis-
ed and battered by table tops torn loose
from their trestles, overturned benches,
and heavy tin cups.
Woman Sings in Cell.
The bedlam lasted 20 minutes. The
steam in the kitchen and the crack Of
the guards rife from the wall-only
two shots were fred-did their work
quickly. But the uproad, the shrieks,
the yells and the curses continued late
into the night.
AS the evening star arose out Of the
San Pablo bay and the purple mantle
Of twilight settled about the shoulders
Of the mountains, q woman 8 full con-
tralto, rich and pure, foated from her
cell out into the prison yard, out over
the prison wall, and the words that she
sang were:
"I'm Wearing My Heart Away For
You.'
The cadence fell and died into the
night. Succeeding it came all the held
eous, nameless clamor of the prison cry.
Compounded of hate, fear, loathing and
derision, it found voice in a harsh dis
cord of screams, yells, growing and
piercing whistles.
About 800 in Riot.
How many voices went to make it,
with the cells from which it came, it
was the business of the guards to re-
port. Out Of 1900 and odd prisoners,
probably between 200 and 800 were ac-
tive rioters.
The dead and wounded were not ring
leaders-only active demonstrants. H.
H. Lynwood, a naval prisoner, commit
ted from Alcatrax island last March for
desertion and impersonating an officer,
was the prisoner shot. He was un-
der sentence for six and one half years,
and had served time before at Salem,
Ore. He was shot through the breast,
and died almost instantly.
Steam Blinds Prisoners
The live steam did more to blind and
frighten the men than actually hurt
them.
The prisoners under discipline for riot
ing in the dining room and jeering from
their cells will be deprived of their
credits and kept on bread and water for
from three to six months. Solitary
confinement is impossible, because San
Quentin now houses 1920 prisoners in
600 cells. The malefactors will be seq
regated in separate tiers.
None of the more notorious prisoners
took any part in the disorder. The Nc
Namaras and Abraham Ruef were as
