DID TE:!!.ll[]Y ]
KILL REAL.
GR|z.ZL Y?
U. of C. Zoologist Says He
Did, but Pioneer Scout De-
ClareS He Did Not

DR.. Joseph Grinnel1. director of the
California museum of vertebrate
zoology at the University of Califor-
MIA. has come to the defense OF for
mer President Roosevelt in his classi-
fication of bears.
In an article in New York maga-
zine Colonel Roosevelt described the
killing of several grizzly bears in the
Rocky mountains. but Captain Albert
Brown, postmaster of the Napa
County Soldiers home, former scout
and Indian fighter. assigned the for
mer president to the Ananias club.
with the declaration that there are
no grizzly bears in the Rockies.
Colonel Roosevelt was accused of
being excited while bear hunting and
shooting black bears instead of griz-
lilies. Now comes Doctor Grinneu to
the aid of the colonel. He said this
morning:
Colonel Roosevelt was right when
he said that there are grizzly bears
in the Rocky mountains. The animal
is found in numbers in the Yellow
stone park and in the Rockies of both
Colorado and Idaho. Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt has an accurate
knowledge of wild game and he was
not mistaken in the grizzlies he
shot
The color difference between the
grizzly and the black or cinnamon
bear is not great. The grizzlies are
always silver tipped and this color
ing sometimes occurs in the other
species, but the difference in the
claws is very marked. The grizzlies
have long straight claws for digging
and the black bears curved claws for
climbing trees. The grizzly is never
a climber. and there is distinction
in the structure of the skull and es-
pecially of the feet of the two species
of bear.
Contrary to reports the grizzly
bear is never found in California The
animal sale to have been the grizzly
has been found on investigation to
be a black bear. We would welcome
to our collection in the museum a
specimen of any kind OF a grizzly
found in California 1t would GER
tainly be unique"

4CRIME AGAINST SOCIETY.

Matt 1. Sullivan closed for the gov
ernment in half an hour Theodore
Roche consumed the other half hour
in snappy argument, which closed
with the noon recess
Judge Van Fleet began to Grad his
instructions at o'clock
If such acts as the one charged in
this indictment are allowed to GO
unpublished said Special Prosecutor
Roche. we might just as well do
away with courts. We might as well
do away with government itself. Tn
der such conditions justice is impos
sible The crime attacks the very
fountain head of Justice and holds our
laws and courts up to scorn and ridi-
cule."
Roche was more gentle with the
feelings of his fellow barrister, Har-
ris. than with Diggsv who, he said,
told a story on the stand Friday that
was contradieted fatty by Harris and
the stenographer. Miss Miller.
"EyIDENCE TO CONVICT BOTHv
The undisputed evidence is suf-
fcient to obtain the conviction OF
both men, Roche asserted.
After the completion of the cross
examination of Harris his wife testi-
fed. Mrs. Harris told of accompany
ing her husband to his oce at the
time Miss Barton was there. Her
testimony tended to help Harris by
showing he was in and out of the
private office several times during the
visit of Mrs. Harris.
The government called r.. M. Clark
Of Sacramento, justice of the peace
in rebuttal His statements contra
dicted the previous testimony OF
Harris.
AS Roche pointed out in his argu-
ment. Justice Clark's books proved
| that Harris was at least the most ac-
tive attorney working In behalf OF
Diggs. If not the only one. when Har-
ris himself said he did not consider
he had been retained as attorney fol
Diggs because he had not received 9
retainer fee
