tFrom The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, Oct. 4-The attempt OF the
Democrats to railroad through the Senate
during the lull after the enactment OF the
tariff law the bill granting the city OF
San Francisco the right to build a dam
in the Hetch Hetchy Valley. in the Yose-
mite National Park. was blocked tempo.
rarily to-day by a handful Of RepublI.
cans.
After a long debate. in which Senator
Pittman. OF Nevada, insisted on consid-
Grafton Of the bill, although many Sem
ators were absent. the fight was sus-
pended because Of the absence OF a quo
rum, demanded by Senator Nelson. II
will be resumed next Tuesday, and the
majority will probably carry out its pur-
pose, II there are enough Senators re-
naming In Washington to hold the Sen.
ate in session.
Senator Pittman, who has charge Of the
measure. asserted that the thousands Of
protests against the passage Of the bill
on the ground that the building OF a dam
in the Hetch Hetchy Valley for the i'm
pounding Of the waters OF the Tuolumns
River would mar tho scenic beauty were
due to the activity Of Sentimental
lobby. which had. wilfully or through
ignorance. been spreading transformation
throughout the country"
VIII the Senator kindly inform rs
whether this lobby is an insidious one
and give us the names OF the lobbyists1"
inquired Senator Borah, who led the fight
on the measure.
II have no objection TO saying" re-
piled Senator Pittman. that Robert Tn.
derwood Johnson. a Mr.. Whitney and
Mr.. Parsons have devoted themselves to
this work. I don't suppose the lobby Is
an insidious one, but many worthy peo-
pie have been misled and legislators have
been influenced"
Robert Underwood Johnson was for
erly editor in chief OF THE Century" and
is friend OF John Muir who has pro-
tested against the invasion of the beau
tiful valley to develop a water supply
and the destruction of one OF the most
picturesque national Fairgrounds on the
continent.

-Four Years Of Strange Liti-

a Conclusion
Fight Over Large Estate Has
Been Longest Trial Ever
Recorded

BOSTON, Feb. 17-After four years of
the strangest litigation the Russell case,
famous in forensic history as the longest
end, and it is believed that it will reach
its conclusion within another week. The
history of the case may be said to date
from the year 1907, when Daniel Russell.
a wealthy resident Of Melrose, Mass, died.
He had two sons, William c.. and Daniel
Blake Russell mysteriously disappeared.
Daniel Russell has requested in his will
that, IL Daniel Blake Russell should re-
urn within twenty years of the testa-
tors death. William c. Russell should
share equally with him in the estate.
In 1893 Dakota Dam appeared as a
claimant, saying he wa the long lost
Daniel Blake Russell. The trial of his
claim took 1913 court days before Judge
Lawton in the MiddlcseX County Probate
Court. During the trial a great many
persons in Mclrose testified that Dakota
Dan" was the person they remembered
as Daniel Blake Russell; Others could
not so remember.
William c. Russell, who opposed the
claims of Dakota Dam" md refused to
acknowledge him rs his brother, brought
forward Mr.. and Mrs. James Rousseau
and some Of their children from northern
New York, who said that the claimant
was not Daniel Bake Russell, but their
son and brother, respectively. Tie court

The Black Hills beetle, which, thru
neglect to apply the proper methods
of control at the proper time, killed,
during the period from 1897 to 1907,
more than a billion feet, board meas
ure, of the merchantable sized timber
in the Black Hills of South Dakota,
was found in 1911 to be threatening
similar devastations in the valuable
timber Of the Tongue ltiver Indian
Reservation Of the Cheyenne Indians
in southeastern Montana.
A cooperative beetle control project
was organized in which the Branch
of Forest Insects of the Bureau of
Entomology, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, gave advice and instruc-
tons, the Indian Service of the De-
partment furnished the funds, and the
Cheyenne Indians did the work.
Eleven thousand and seventeen
trees were cut and. barked between
July 1, 1911 and July l, 1912 in order
to destroy the beetles. The fact that
a large per centage of the trees which
harbored the belts was sawed into
lumber by mills installed for that pur-
pose resulted in a total net cost of
but $903.53 against a propable saving
for the next ten years, in the stump
age value of the trees, estimated at
seventy-five thousand to one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars.
