DR. BUNNELL EN ROUTE
TO WASHINGTON, D. c.

President Charles E. Bunnell of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairabnks was aboard the steamer Alaska which was in port southbound Wednesday evening.
 Dr. Bunnell stated that there is a considerable revival of mining in h. terior Alaska and that there is every indication that next year will see greater dredging activity than at any previous time.
 Dr. Bunnell is en route to Wash ington, D. C.. to confer with Con- gressional leaders relative to the possible extension to Alaska of the Hatch, Adams and Purnen Acts. Under this legislation, which is ap plieable to all states having land grant colleges, substantial sums of money are allotted to such states for work to be performed under the di- rection of such institutions.
 The Territory of Hawaii is mak- ing a strong effort to have the pro- visions of the act extended to that Territory, and Dr. Bunnell feels that Alaska is fully as much entitled to come under the provisions of these acts as Hawaii.
 It is understood that Dr. Bunnell has congressional backing in his un- dertaking. and if he is successful it will mean an initial expenditure of S90,000 in Alaska.

 He Was a Beetle and Bug Boy
 II all began many years ago by Mr Beebe being the kind of a little boy who always had a larger quan- tity of beetles and bugs and worms stuffed in his brooches pockets than any other little boy in his neighbor= hood. Then he heard about pr. Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Society Of Natural His tory and the late Theodore Roose- velt, and between the inspirations afforded him by these two men his own career was settled. After the university which made him a train ed ornfthologist came his ambitious and fruitful research among the birds of Mexico and the South Amer ican tropics.
 Then he decided to change from birds to fish because the naturalist can find as many problems among fish as among birds. and in general there is a higher percentage of CO., operation by the fish with the in yestigator in what he wants to find out"
 Mir. Beebe found 1t "disappoint- ingly pleasant" to use a diving heI- met even though, clad only in a bathing suit. he was down deep in water filled with attentive sharks because the sharks gave him no bother at all. Mr. Beebe counsels folk who would do similar work to get over the idea of sharks and, with a twisted little smile for the bromide, adds they'll find whole new worlds opened up to them if they can do that.
 On a clear day Mir. Beebe found he could count on eight feet of yisi- bility all about him. so all he had to do was to keep his eyes open and grind film or expose plates indus triously. You don't realize you're wet because you're wet all over, so you've nothing to compare it with,

One fourth of all theland In the United States is covered with for ests !
 These vast forests are continually growing unlike other natural re- sources. wood constantly renews it. self through the ages.
 Thus you see that timber Is a crop "a crop Of boundless value to the entire nation. Failure to harvest 1t when ripe means waste, as in the case Of any other crop of the soil.
 Leaders of the lumber industry. manufacturers of American Stand ard lumber are producing from the mature timber clean. sound lumber. They are grading it according to new and stricter quality rules; thus 1t goes to the user as a standard product conforming exactly to his needs.
 Beautiful, durable, economical. and of amazing adaptabflity, wood is steadily extending it's markets. both for established uses and for new uses.
 Famous historic mansions of early Colonial Days, still occupied and still in excellent condition. are of wood construction. So, too, are majority of modern residences. In fact. three-fourths of all the homes in this country are built of wood.
 For fine furniture, wood Is of course the last word-both in craft manship and in beauty that endures. There are countless wood chairs. tables and desks still in active ser vice which have passed the century mark
 The use of wood for window frames and sasbes is advancing with giant strides. The largest and newest hotel in the world-The Stevens, Chicago-is so equipped.
 And what flooring has ever eQualled the comfort and beauty of wood l? Today, it is standard con- struction in buildings of almost every type
 Wood for shuttles, spools and bob bins ! Wood for millions of boxes. baskets, crates and barrels ! Wood for sflos, granaries and mining tim bers
 There is wood for every use and a use for every wood Wood Is ma terial of primary importance in most of our great industries.
 Our modern ships require wood in scores of ways, from stem to stern. The railroads annually demand more than 110,000,0O0 wood cross ties, and huge quantities of lumber for box cars, refrigeration and hundreds of other needs. The automobile in dustry alone uses a billion and half feet of lumber a year
 Wood has built thousands of der ricks for our gushing oil wells, has helped to make moving pictures one of the worlds leading industries, has played an important part in the development of the radio, and has sent the airplane winging over land and sea.
 Lumber made immune from fire and decay by suitable fire proofing and preservative treatments is in creasingly available to modern mar kets. both in construction and in in dustry. Wood is destined to be Amer iea's most universally useful mate rial. adaptable to the widest range of purse and purpose.

FORD FOR HOOVER
AS c. D. P. NOMINEE
Automobile Manufacturer
Says Coolidge Is Sincere in
Decision to Retire.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 4. Herbert
Hoover was indorsed as the logical
candidate for the Republican pEesi-
Dental nomination to succeed Calvin
Coolidge, in a statement issued here
today by Henry Ford. The manu-
in his decision not to become a candi-
date
Mr.. Ford's statement follows:
mo one who knows President
Coolidge will doubt his sincerity in
declining 10 run again. 1t is a poor
compliment to his character to twist
his words from their plain meaning
or to seek a loophole by which that
meaning may be escaped.
MIR. Coolidge evidently has thought
the whole matter out with his usual
care and has decided his course. No
other President has so nearly pos.
sessed the power to break the third
term tradition, but he has chosen not
to use that power.
In the time and manner of his
announcement Mr.. Coolidge has
allowed the country ample time for
the consideration of his successor.
For myself / think that Herbert
Hoover is the logical Republican can
didate. This is a business genera
ton and he is business man. His
experience as engineer. business adj
ministratOr and cabinet member has
been varied and successful and has
really been a training for the presi-
dency.
"He is in the prime of life, active
and accustomed to tackling great
tasks hopefully and bearing great
burdens cheerfully. The American
people have subconsciously thought
of him an presidential material for a
number of years.

MILITIA OFFICERS

Cured The officers are to remain
in the counties until further orders,
Gen. Henderson said.
Gov. Donahey has suggested that
the conference of coal mine operators
and union miners of the central COM
petitive field proposed by him as
possible means of solving the present
wage scale controversy be held in the
Ohio National Guard Armory at To-
ledo at 10 am. August IS.
IT was revealed at the governors
office today that this time and place
is set in the governors letters to John

them ''in behalf of the State Of
Ohio" to reconvene the conference
which adjourned in a deadlock at
Miami, Fla. last Spring.
Asks Governors to Aid.
Gov. Donahey has asked the Cover
nors of Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl
vania to DIN him in urging reconven-
ing of the coference on that date and
at that place.
Cows. Len Small of Illinois, and Ed.
Jackson of Indiana. have informed
the governor that they would join him
in urging such a conference.
The Pennsylvania executive has not
been heard from because the letter
asking his cooperation was not sent
until Gov. Donahey was apprised of
the advisability of including him, in
asmuch as Western Pennsylvania is
in the same field.
II am hopeful that both sides will
consent to concessions they were not
willing to make at the Miami confer
ence." the text of the governors let
ter to Miller and Lewis said. Nearly
always the proper course lies some
where between the original demands of
conflicting interests. The ideal settle
ment would be upon the basis of
strictly sound economics If that were
ascertainable. Miners, as all who
abor, are entitled to a fair wage. Coal
operators, as we'll, who have their
capital invested in industry, are en-
titled to fair profits. Neither will be
possible as long as the present coal
strike continues.

Although the secretary pointed out

EVANS TO PROBE
STOTT TESTIMONY
Instructions to Police to
Shoot if Endangered by
Drivers May Bring Charges.

Testimony of Capt. William G. Stott
of the fourteenth precinct introduced
in the defense of Policeman r. II. Camp
bell, charged and convicted yesterday
by the police trial board of improper
use Of his pistol during speed chase
July 10, when Larry Hall, 20 years
old, was killed near the Soldiers Home
grounds, today led to an investigation
Of the instructions Stott swore he
gave as a lieutenant OF the tenth
precinct and superior officer of Camp
bell, TO the effect that policemen might
''shoot and shoot to kill when neces-
sary" if their lives We're endangered
by motorists during chases.
Coincident with the announcement
officially this morning that Campbell
had been fined 500 for uniustitied use
of his pistol in firing the two shots
after the fleeing automobile in which
Hall was an occupant, Inspector
Charles A. Evans, acting superintend-
ent of police, directed an investigation
into the instructions given by Stott
regarding use of the pistol.
Was Defense Witness.
Capt. Stott was one of the star de-
fense witnesses called to the stand by
Attorney Robert f. Lynch in behalf
of the policeman. 1t was shown that
he was on duty in the tenth precinct
prior to July l last. and the defense
sought to establish that Campbell had
gained the idea that it was proper for
him to shoot at a vehicle endangering
his life from statement made to him
and other policemen of the precinct by
Stott shortly before Stott was pro-
noted and transferred.
Shortly after the occa sion last
Spring when q foot patrolman of the
tenth precinct was nearly run down
and killed by a racing liquor car, it
was developed in the testimony, Lieut..
Stott informed the men under him.
among them Campbell, that they had
n perfect right to protect their lives
by use of their weapons when in dam
ger of death or extreme bodily harm
from motorist seeking to run them
down.
II told them to shoot and shoot to
kill when necessary to protect their
lives" Capt. Stott testified.
Around tho theory of self-defense
the case for Campbell was woven by
Attorney Lynch. Lynch, in his final
argument, stressed not only the self
defense emergency presented to Camp
bell as he and Policeman w. s.
Buchanan, in whose motor cycles side
car Campbell was chasing the fleeing
automobile. but also the justification
which policeman had in firing at
an automobile whose driver had at
tempted to run over them, on the
ground that the crowding off process
was an assault with intent to kill,
making the motorist q f1lon. who could
be shot if he tried to escape. Lynch
announced today he will appeal the
finding OF the trial board the District
Commissioners.

BANDIT CLUE SEEN
|NEMPTY SHACK
Search for Bank Robbers
Renewed With Finding
of Habitation.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

WOODSTOCK, Va, August A.
Finding of a shack built of pine
branches and bearing evidences of
hasty abandonment. constructed on
one of the West Virginia foothills of
the Great North Mountain caused a
renewal of the search today for the
two men and two women who
held up the Mount Jackson Bank 10
days ago and escaped with 81 900 in
cash.
Penetrating deep into the wooded
area Of the Hardy County side of the
mountain wood cutters of the Mary
land Mining & Lumber Corporation
discovered the lonely shack. They
stated that it was composed of pine
branches, evidently hastily woven to-
gether. Bunks were made of limbs
of trees, and leaves served as mat
tresscs.
Fresh bread crusts and bits Of meat
atrewn about the camp indicated that
it had been abandoned in a hurry, and
authorities here stated that If the out
laws were hiding in the camp. it is
probable that they were frightened
away when they heard the saws and
axes of the timber cutters.
