EVANS BECOMES SARCASTIC;
WANTS BIGGER NAVY
SAX FRANCISCO, May 11. "Fewer
statesmen and more battleships ' as
Rear Admiral VI vans put it in his ad
dress at the fleet banquet, will be the
slogan of the Pacific coast in its fight
for better naval protect inn. Tho ad
miral hit tho" nail squarely on the head
from the Pacific coast point of view,
and that he' htid struck a popular chord
was attested by the tremendous cheer
ing that greeted his remark.
In 'private and in an occasional in
terview the iidmiral has freely ex
pressed himself on the needs of the
navy, but his unqualified statement put
as bluntly as a blunt man could pul
il, h-fl no dmibt in the minds of his
hearers ilia) the famous sailor wants!
the American navy, to be Hie greatest
iu the world, lie stands squarely with
the president on the quest ion of four
battleships a year, or even mere, un
til there are- not less thnn -IK.
The admiral 's dramatic appearance in
tho magnificent, banquet room of the
St. Francis was a fitting climax to
three days of stirring events. Only a
select few knew t hat he would come
to the bauqiiei room and they guarded
Iheir see ret well. The setting was spec
tacular in I he extreme. Npeoehes had
been made, toHsts had been drunk, when
came a sudden pause.

STATUS OF CASE AGAINST
MARTIN IS UNCHANGED
Portland, or., .May n.
In spite of their failure to cinch tin1
case against Fdwnrd Marl in, the police
still consider him the most likely sus
pect they have yet located. Their po
sition iu this matter is justified by the
record of the prisoner.
He is a dope hVnd, and the murderer
of Nathan Wollf was no ordinary crim
inal or holdup man. Mart in has re
pea t ed ly contrail ict ed h is own st a t e
meuts and has proven himself unreliable
as all vict ims of the morphine habit
naturally are. He has told conflicting
stories in accounting for the scratches
and bites on his hands and face injuries
received by hi in on t he night of t he
murder. He did not come home until
very late on that fateful Friday night.
His past record is bad. The shirt, cov
ered with blood and found buck of a.
rooming house on Kverctt street has not
been identified as one of three purch
ased by him. Hut it is known that he
has had business dealings with Wolff;
that hew as quick-tempered and was
regai'ded by the pawnbrokers as a par
ticularly hard man to deal with.
On the other hand, Martin has not
yet been positively identified as the
man seen about Wolff's shop. It is ar
gued that the murder is one that one
man would not have been able to do.
Martin, as a dope fiend, surely would
not have remained in the pawnshop for
more than an hour following the actual
killing of Wolff. The bloody overcoat
found at Water and Montgomery streets
and the bloody shirt found at Third
and Kveretl streets are in totally dif
ferent parts of the city.
- A part of the story accredited to
Drey, the peddler, who sold Martin the
shirts, has been declared false. Mar
tin made no effort to escape arrest ami
voluntarily gave himself up to the po
lice. There is no strong mot ive for
the murder known to the police. The
shirts ami collar said to be Ma rl iu 's
do not correspond i nsi.e. Pield, the
jeweler, thinks the man he saw in
Wolff's had no collar on.
This mass of conflicting evidence is
but a sample of what the police have
lo ileal with iu unraveling the case. H
can be said that siuco the arrest of
Marlin the police have made little prog
resH in securing add it iotial evidence
against their man. They admit them
selves that for three days they have
done not hing toward securing more
proof against him.

GOVERNMENT MAY ADVANCE
PRICE OF TIMBER LAND
WASHINGTON, May 11. If con
gress at this session refuses to repeal
the tiin her and stone act, Secretary
(iarfield will take matiei-s into his own
hands and pul an end to I he abuses
that have been perpetrated under I hat
law. Mr. linrl'ield is the firt secretary
of the interior to discover that the tim
ber and stone ad floes not arbitrarily
fix lite price of timber land at -.iO
per acre, but merely fixesthat as the
minimum price a I whw-h t under laud
shall be s.dd.
It is his content ion that the secretary
of On- interior, under that law, has au
thority lo demand a higher price whore
timber laud is worth more, and he pro
poses, in the evt-ht that congress doc
not ad, hereafter lo require timber en-
tiymeu to pay the appraiied value for
all lauds taken under this law. Lauds
u.o ill only i will be sld at that
figure, hot lauds worth 1" to per
ane will be sold at those figures, and
lands of leaser value at corresponding
price.
There have been numerous confer
ences iu the department about this pro
p.eod change, and it has been decided
(o take ui action until after congress
i atl i'oirnv. thus giving coiigrets tin op
jp..rtiiinty to ad if it so desires.
I'tel.r the contemplated change it
will be u isirv to saele timber land,

BAND SAWS SUPPLANT
TUB CIRCULAR ONES
Many of Die larger saw mill of Cali
fornia are now employing "band"
saws instead of circular saws. Band
saws are proving especially advantage
ous in Hie sawing of big logs, as they
lo the work mora quickly and with' fur
ss waste than tho circular saws. These
band saws are long ribbons of iteel,
from six to eight inches in width, op-
rated over largo pulleys ubovo.ftDd be-
ow, the upper pulley being located di
rectly over the lower. The principle on
which these saws operate is exactly like
that of the small band saws employde
planning and finishing nulls. The
saws are necessarily thiu, and made of
the very toughest steel, Kach has
laily capnpcily of from .10,1)00 to 40,-
ot hi feet, and requires from 2', to 40
ier cent less power than, circulur iuw
of the same capacity. To prevent heat
ing, a small stream of wuter is eontinu-
illy played upon tho baud saw. At
first there was considerable liesituecy
in adopting them, as they were consid-
I extremely dangerous on nccount nf
1 heir liability to break. It has been
found, however, that there is no more
lunger of their breaking than that of
the circular saw. l'lilike the circular
saw, the band saw carries its own
Ih, these being a part of the saw it
self. Kach mil) must therefore be pro
d with several extras, so that these
may be in process of sharpening Ood
ttiug, while the other is ut work.
STEEL MAIL CARS
TO BE USED ON S. P.
Slee mail cam have recently been put
oi the Southern Pacific between Hau
Francisco and Portland. While the
one ho have not been tis-'d regularly
the mail clerks have hope that iu the
near future several of tin- alt steel curs
ill be used on this line.
Postal nut lioril b's have received as
surances from t ho Harriman officiul
that the intention of the company is fo
replace all wood mail cars an they are
ibaudoiied with steel conches, which
have met with the approval of the pout-
ffice department.
As t he wood cars now in use are
tuken from th runs when they have
heen for vears in many cuses the steel
urn will take iheir pbics. Within two
r three years it ii figured that efery
until coach on the Harrhnnn littes out of
Portland will be nf the steel variety.
