Banker Hubert Fleishhacker of this

Spreckels' palatial yacht Venetia was
sent to this port in time to permit the
local financier to attend several i'm

was pressed into service by Fleish

getting to San Francisco had been re-
sorted to and failed.
Sunday morning the banker, who
had been to Coronado for week

vice and realizing the urgency OF
his being in San Francisco this morn
ing, appealed to John d. Spreckels
for some suggestion Tor relief.
That's easy" replied the sugar
magnate and, taking up his phone, he
sent orders to have his yacht up and
ready for departure for San Francisco
at once.
An hour later Banker Fleishhackel
had boarded the Venetia, which was
soon black blot on the horizon

A wireless from the yacht last
night conveyed to Banker Fleish-

GOVERNOR JOHNSON sasN
SPEAKS IN FRESNO

Fresno, Cal, Feb. 26.--An audience
of 1000 packed the main floors and
galleries of the Fresno theatre last
night to hear Governor Hiram john
son on his belated arrival from south
ern California. He reached here after
s o'clock on the first train from the
south out of Los Angeles since the
storm, the Santa Fe, after being held
up at Barstow for several hours. Ear
lier in the day John M. Eshleman,
president of the state railroad COM
mission, and Harris Weinstock of the
industrial welfare commission, made
speeches at a gathering and dinner
of the Fresno business women's league
and together with State Bank Super
intendent W. E. Williams and many
other prominent in state and local
public life occupied places on the
platform. The governor in his address
dwelt specially upon the organization
of the new party for new purposes,
and its consistent oversight of the
business interests of the state, an
swering the charges of extravaganc d;
of administration by pointing out the
decrease of ratio of increased expense
and enumerating the laws, such as the
free textbook act, which the people
themselves had ordered and which
took large sums of money. He en-
phasized the industrial welfare work
of the Progressives, declaring that
the workmen's compensation act was
the crowning factor, not an act dis
eliminating against one class in favor
Of another, but distributing over all
society the cost of incidental injury
done by industry.

TO FORTIFY COAST
WITH BIG GUNS

Washington, Feb. pa victory OF
great Importance for the Pacifle
coast was scored in the house COM
mittee on naval affairs today. The
committee decided on its building pro-
gram, which includes two battle
ships, six destroyers and eight subma-
rines. Moreover, an amendment was
agreed on that part of the subma
rines should be stationed on the Pa
cifc coast, and on motion of Repre-
sentative Stephens another amend
ment was agreed on that the three
coast defense submarines should be
built on the Pacific coast provided
the price did not exceed the cost on
the Atlantic coast plus cost of trans
portation.
The submarines which are provided
for are three coast defense subma-
rines, four for harbor defense and one
seagoing. The three coast defense
submarines will be built on the
coast and undoubtedly kept there. In
edition, it is the expectation that
others will be sent. This means a
long step in the direction of provid
ing the coast with adequate naval de-
lenses for harbor purposes.
Several Pacific coast congressman
have appeared before the committee
10 urge more submarines for the Pa
cifc coast, among them Messrs.
Hayes and Kettner. Mr. Stephens
said tonight he regarded the sub
marine program as one which
should be highly satisfactory to the
wrst, particularly as the navy de-
partment originally recommended
only four submarines in ALL

LICENSE FOR
WHITE BIRD
Commissioners Finally De-
ci1e to Issue License With
Law Protection.

After suspending the operations of
the two White Bird saloons until q
full hearing of conitions could be had
and an investigation made, the coun-
ty commissioners on last Friday
morning granted renewal of the
license of Gregory and Wilson and
Frank Hurley for the operation Of
their saloons at the Salmon river
town, at the same time made GER
tain provisions for providing peace
officers for the town that order may
be maintained, which LIS very seri-
GUS problem to solve in any communt-
ity where there are no officers to
be depended upon in case of disturb
ance.
The commissioners on the one hand
are censured for the granting OF the
White Bird license, and ON the other
they are commended. 1t Is difficult
for one not on the ground to fairly
judge of the Whitebird case, and the
Judgment of the Globe Is that 1t Is
largely a matter to be settled by the
residents of the town in accordance
with the consensus of opinion among
the interested citizens, and it there
fore has no disposition, nor does it
intend butting into the case. One
thing is certain, however, and that Is
that no town with saloons, and but
few If any without, can be conduct
ed properly at all times without peacL
officers to look after and regulate
the conduct of disturbers Of the
peace an quietude of the berg. This
1t Is understood, has been arranged
for by action of the commissioners,
and 1t Is believed by many that mat
ters will run much smoother for a
time at least at the Salmon river
metropolis.

bones, while riding horse back, the
horse falling on him. The accident
occurred about mile from the Sheldon

next day, Frank Egelston took the

allotment of money for the construc-
ton of wagon roads is to build those
roads which are primarily needed for
the benefit of esttlers. A road which
VIII enable the rancher to get his
products to market Is considered Of
very much greater importance than al
automobile highway. AS a rule mon
ey Is contributed to build only those
projects on which an equal amount of
money will be provided by the coun-
ty or the citizens. This Is not
however, a fixed rule. On many pro-
jects which are important from the
standpoint of development of the
country and where 1t is evident that
equal cooperation could not reason
ably be expected, the government
puts in more than half, and some
times practically all of the money
to build the roads. Once q project
Is started it Is considered wise to
continue to allot money to that pro-
ject until 1t Is satisfactorily COM
plete. On account of the fact that
the western part Of Montana is very
poorly proidevd with roads, most of
the money has SO far been allotted to
this portion of the state. There Is
no attempt made to allot this money
so that each county will get its pro-
portionate share. The matter is
handled from broader standpoint on
the assumption that the construction
Of roads where needed for the de-
velopment of the state will undoubt-
edly be of greater benefit to the en-
tire state than any attempt to dis
tribute a small amount of money
equally over a very large territory"

DR.. Brannon is 40 years of age.
He was born of Scotch-Irish parent
age In Lowell, Iniana, in 1865. He
received his early education in the
Lowell public schools and later at

the Marine Biological school and sta
tion maintained by the Fish commits
sion of the United States government,
at Wood Hole, Mass. During the
summer quarters of 1895 and 1897

GRAND JURY TO
SIFT MATTERS
Investigate Dearing Murder;
Court in Full Swing, With
Usual Docket.

Under the order of Judge Steele a
grand jury of twenty men was drawn
Tuesday and will report for duty next
Monday. The purpose of this grand
jury is to make a thorough investi-
cation Of the murdur of George Dear
ing at his home near Mt. Idaho about
the middle of June, last year. George
bearing was shot down from ambush
while riding through his pasture look
Ing for some of his cattle which had
been missing. On investigation by
the sheriff's office and county at
troney, James Dearing, a nephew of
the murdered man, was arrested and
has since been held in the county
jail, pending thorough investiga-
cation of the case. There was a
great deal of mystery surrounding the
murder of Dearing, and it Is believ-
ed there has been q decided tendency
on the part of witnesses to suppress
the facts in the case that would lead
to the conviction of the murderer
The grand jury with its power Of
summoning witnesses and extracting
fact under oath, with danger of dire
punishment being administered to
those who do not come through with
the facts which they have, will most
likely give new aspect to conditions
In this important case, which was
undoubtedly one of cold blooded MUIR
