STAYS Of RECORD
Amended Answer Showing
Mrs. Warner a Negress, Not
to Be Expunged.
TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT
Case to Be Decided on Merits At
torney Fuller Makes Strong Ar
gument Against Woman,
Calling Her Adventuress.
CLINTON. III.. July 26.-Speclal.)
Judge Cochran this evening, on the ad
journment of court for the week, an
nounced that the famous amended answer
filed by Vespasian Warner, in the John
Warner will case, in which it was
charged that Mrs. Iabella Robinson
"Warner is of negro extraction, must re
main in the record. The Court overruled
the exceptions to the answer taken by
'Mrs. Warner's lawyers and will there
tore pass upon the question which - has
caused such a scandal in this part of Illi
nois. Judge Cochran did not. a was
commonly expected, rule on the merits
of the case, but took it under advisement
and probably will make known his de
cision Monday or Tuesday.
"Isabella Robinson, the Innocent and
beautiful Ohio fiirl, was loved by John
Warner." said Mr. Herrick. "The Clin
ton banker courted her ardently, and she
cared enough for him to bear him two
children and reared and educated them.
She lived with him os a good wife for 30
years, and now comes this monstrous
charge by her stepson."
Attorney Fuller jnlnted Mrs. Warner
as a cunning siren, the daughter of poor
parents, who had drawn into her meshes
John Warner, the banker.
"She knew that John Warner was
head over heels In love with her," sMd
the lawyer, "that he was crazy about
her, in fact, and that she could marry
him at any time he would say the word.
She knew she had-struck a bonanza and
long before he had married her she had
confided to the women of the neighbor
hood that she had met a rich man, a
bunker, and that she was going to marry
him."
All the evidence. Attorney Fuller In
sisted, showed that Isabella Robinson
had planned a hasty marriage and that
she did not allow her husband to see her
family for more than an hour on the day
of her marriage. May 28, IS74.
Mrs. Warner., declares her father was
white. She is making a fight to get a
dower share of the wealth of John War
ner, aggregating Jl.600,000, and was in
court today with her two daughters, Mrs.
Mettler and Mrs. Bell. Mrs. Warner
emphatically pays her father was white,
the signed, she says, an agreement
waiving her dower only after the aged
banker had ' deceived her about the
value ot his estate.
STRIKERS ARE TO RETURN
Coal Miners In Minnesota Are to

DULUTH, Minn.. July 28. The Fayal
and Adams and Spruce mines, at Eveleth,
two of the largest properties upon the

suring protection for all men who desired
to go to work.
Strike Leader Petrlek left Hibbing to
day for Eveleth, and Acting President

The federation purchased a store at
Hibbing yesterday and ts running It for
the benefit of the strikers. They tried

day. Messenger Boys Win Their Point.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. July 26.
The strike of the messenger boys of the
"Western Union Telegraph Company,
which for 36 hours caused the company's
officers here considerable annoyance,
ended today with concessions to the de
mands of the youngsters, namely, that
they be allowed to alternate in working
on Sundays, one-half the force to have
every other Sunday off, and that Sunday
working hours be reduced from six to
four hours.
Strike Against Bad Company.
HELENA, Mont.. July 26 A special to
the Record from Great Falls says that
because of the alleged questionable char
acter of two women who had been given
employment by the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Company in its central ex
change, the remaining employes went on
strike today. President Alex Fairgrieve,
of the State Federation of Labor, has
been notified, and will endeavor to effect
a reconciliation.
FREE USE OF FOREST LAND
Government Helps Many Settlers
Near -National Forests.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 26. During the fiscal year
Just closed the number of people granted
free use of timber from the National
forests Increased very largely. In the
fiscal year 1906 free-use permits were
. granted to 15,000 persons. The last year
- will show a decidedly larger total.
Just why and how free-use permits are
granted is a matter which comparatively
few people who do not live near a Na
tional forest understand. In this as in
Its grazing regulations the policy of the
Government is aimed at helping the set
tlement of the country. The man who
wants to make money by cutting and
selling to others timber from Natienal
forests pays for It at the market price.
i But the rancher who Is trying to made a
home near a National forest and has no
timber of his own, or the small com
munity which undertakes to build a
church or a school or a road and needs
material for the purpose Is allowed by
the local forest officer to take a reason-
' able amount free, wherever this can be
done without harm to the forest. There
Is no red tape or delay Involved, for the
forest officers on the ground are given
full power in the matter.
The value of the wood given away
during the year was about $5 per ap
plicant. Under the regulations no one
may receive more than J20 worth of free
GHAR G
wood In one year. The timber must be
used by those who cut It. It usually
goes for fencing, house-logs, posts, poles, .
weileweeps and similar purposes.
Where dead timber Is at hand, free use
applicants are expected to take It ana
leave the green trees to grow. Settlers
frequently prefer dead timber which has
not begun to decay, since It Is dry and
light.
The cutting of free timber must con
form to regulations the same as If the
wood had been sold. Stumps must be
low, tops worked up If worth It, and the
limbs and refuse must be piled ready
for burning at the proper time. Small
growing trees are -not allowed to be
taken.
Timber for roads, schools and churches
may be had free up to the value of $100.
This means a good deal of timber on the
stump. In case of necessity as the re
building of a burnt church, for example
larger amounts may be granted.
In regions where wood is plentiful set
tlers usually have enough of their own
and they ask little from the public
domain. But where the ranches are tree
less, often the only place where the peo
ple can obtain wood Is the National
forest. By removing the dead or over
mature trees they very likely actually
benefit the forest as well as themselves.
Settlers whose land Is within or adjoin
ing National forests are allowed free
pasture as well as free timber, but not
for more than ten head of domestic
animals used about the farm. For these
no permit is required. The horses and
cows are turned out to graze where they
please. It Is worth noting that abuse
of the privilege is rare.
The man who obtains a home on the
edge of a National forest Is often for
tunate, for the free use of timber and
pasture Is a valuable consideration. It is
also an advantage to the forests to have
settlers In and about them. The forests
are for use and need men to use them.
They also need protection,, and often
labor. Sometimes fires must be fought,
and it is equally to the 'settlers' and
Government's Interest that fires be kept
out. Again, roads have to be built and
other Improvements made. The more set
tlers the better the forests can be
handled. If the settlers are friendly and
willing to co-operate with the forest of
ficers for the common good, which Is
what the forests exist to promote.
CLAIM CUT IS TOO MUCH
Nebraska Commission to Compro
mise With Express Companies.
LINCOLN. Neb., uly 28. The State
Railway Commission has decided to. pro
pose a compromise with express "com
panies on rate reduction. Under the re
cent legislative enactment the commis
sion is empowered to reduce rates 25 per
cent. The express companies are re
sisting and have suggested a 13 per cent
cut, holding that any greater than
this will be confiscatory. On their part,
the railway commissioners propose to
make 15 per cent the minimum reduction
and 25 per cent the maximum. Speaking
for the members, Commissioner Williams
said today:
"We hope to establish a schedule which
will be accepted by the express companies
and at the same time give tnelr patrons
the ber.ent of a 23 per cent decrease on
the Important Items, of traffic."
