SCOFFS AT FORESTERS .Made at Fastern Colleges, They Xeed Guides in Forests Should Fse Field-Glasses to Find Homeseekers. WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. General de t'ate on the agricultural bill in the House today afforded critics and de fender of the Iepartment of Agricul ture an excellent field day. Iever (South Carolina) led oft with an attack on the appointment and work of - the referee board of consulting chemists in the department. Hetlin (Alabama) asked on behalf of the committee on Krowers for a Governmental monthly report on the consumption of cotton. Sturgls V. Va) urged an extension of the Forest Service. Humphrey tYVash.) took an exactly opposite view, while Mondell (Wyo.) declared the Bu reau of Forestry the most autocratic government bureau outside of Russia. Kartholdt (Mo.) declared for waterway improvement, and Chandler (Miss.) complained of the tariff on agricultural Implements. Chairman Scott. , of the agricultural committee, closed the de bate with a few remarks on the worn done by the department during the last year. When the bill was under considera tion under the five-minute rule, an Increase of 1300 In the salary of Solici tor McCahe. makine It 14500. was stricken out on a point of order. An Increase of the salary of Director Moore, of the Weather Bureau, from $5000 to $000 suffered the same fate. Before the bill was taKen up in gen eral debate the House passed the Sen ate pension bill for Federal Judges. In denouncing the Forest Service, Mondell said: ' "I notice that next year' the forests are to be protected, water flow regulated and resources conserved by the purchase of S34.624 worth of typewriters, J16.0U0 worth of paper: S22.0Q0 worth of en velopes and $7(i0u for card indexes." He ridiculed toe appropriation of $10. O00 for the purchase of compasses, saying it is a joke in the West that the Eastern college-made foresters must have guides when they enter a forest. Hope wag also expressed that the employes will us the $6000 appropriation for field glasses to see at least the honieseeker, "hitherto unnoticed."

Interstate Commerce Commis sioner Iane today discussed with the President Senator Fulton's bill prohibiting an advance in freight lates without the consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission. He said the commission was very anx ious that such a law should be passed, and explained that the .Pacific Coast was urgently In need of the relief It would grant. The President agreed It was very de sirable legislation, but In view of the situation prevailing In the Senate, he felt It would be Impossible, in the re maining three weeks of the session, to get the bill through, even if he sent a special message urging Its passage. Therefore he will not address Congress on this subject. AVIRELrESS OX AI.Li VESSELS Congress May Make It Compulsory for Pussenjrcr Steamers. WASHINGTON. Feb 3.

After a weary wait of more than a third of a century. Captain Jack's band of Modoc Indians are about to be permitted to return to their old homes in the land of Ihe setting sun. Following their disastrous warfare on the white settlers in Oregon in 1S74, these India.is were exiled to Indian Ter ritory, where they were placed upon the Quapaw Reservation. At that time there were 271 of them, but before a year had elapsed the rumber was reduced to 157. By 1S77 there were not more than 112. and at the present time there are only 49. In a report recently made to the Senate by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, himself an Indian, he says: "This rapid decrease seems to be the result of mental anxiety caused by their enforced separation from family and friends." Senator Curtis' report recommends the Senate passage of a bill, which has al ready received the approval of the House, and which authorizes the return of thee aborigines to their former homes In the Klamath Reservation in Oregon, where an allotment of land is now going on, and in which they would be enabled to participate if there. Senator Curtis says In his report that the Modocs, notwitiistanding their rec ord bf "74. are extraordinarily good work ers. He also says there are no drunkards among them, and that they are "careful and economical." It is quite probable that he bill will pass tin: Senate.

Secretary of the Treasury and made It Impossible for him to continue the em ployment of these men in many cases of Irregularity or wrong ding In those branches of the Treasury Department devoted to the issuing and handling of obligations, securities and coins of the Government. Injures Public Interest. "It Is the contention of the executive branch of the Government that it should be permlttetd to use the best means of investigating criminal cases; and when legislation is enacted that deprives the executive branch of a particularly de sirable and effective investigating force. the Government's interests, which are the interests of the people, are injured and the only gainers are the evildoers who may. thereby escape .punishment. "The question is. is it right or wise or proper specifically to discriminate against one particular . division or the Govern menta Investigating forces and prevent its employment where it might be used to great advantage? It is an evasion of the question to answer that In one par ticular and circumscribed field suppres sing counterfeiting and protecting ,the President Its activities are not affected by the limitation. Act Against Criminals Anywhere. "If the Government is to act with full efficiency against crimes, it must have some force of Secret Service agents, by preference under the Department of Jus tice, who can act against criminals any where: and the position of the adminis tration is that it is against sound public policy to discriminate in favor of crim inals- by discriminating against the use of the Secret Service to detect and pun ish them."

Mrs. Stirling has been on the stand for three days. In spite of the searching questioning, which oc casionally broke down her outward com posure and caused a flood of tears, the defendant almost Invariably had a ready answer and a plausible explanation for seeming Indiscretions. She stuck to her story that there had been no misconduct between her- and Lord Northland, named by Mr. Stirling as co-respondent, and just before she left the stand she raised an outburst of laughter by replying to the question whetlier ehe had given up the idea of marrying Lord Northland by saying: "I am not free. Lord Northland could not propose to me yet." Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Stirling's mother, testified briefly as to her daughter's dis tress on the receipt of a certain .letter while in America and her sudden resolve to return to London. This was the letter written by Mrs. Stirling hinting at im proper relations between Mr. Stirling and Mrs. Atherton. Lord Northland was called for the de fense, and generally corroborated the testimony given by Mrs. Stirling. He denied that he had ever been guilty of misconduct with the defendant. He was still on the stand when the case was adjourned for the day. RACE. RIOTS ARE FEARED Wholesale Arrest of Xegroes In Pittsburg Causes Alarm. PITTSBURG, Feb. 3.

LAWYERS DISCUSS PfiOPORTIfllL ACT Declare Election Laws Are Not Affected by Vote Cast Last June. JOKER NOT TO EE FEARED Member's or Bar AsserJ That Measure Passed by Klectors Is Xot Bind ing, but Only Suggestion to Legislature. The report that the proportional representation amendment (so - called) adopted lust June, has tied the hands of the Legislature as to proportionate rep resentation legislation, and necessitated Immediate' legislative action to unwind the tangle, is not coincided in by Port land lawyers interviewed yesterday. Particular stress had been laid on the following supposed "Joker,' occurring in about the middle of the amendrnent. In words and letters as follows: "Every qualified elector resident In his precinct and registered as may be required by law, may vote for one person, under the title for each office." This proviso was said to be of no menace to existing election laws, by the - opinion of the members of the Portland bar who could be seen was that the entire amendment was simply permis sive in its scope and design, and would require additional legislative enactment in order to carry out any intent of its author?, and make its permissive sug gestions binding on citizens of the state. Amendment Merely Permissive. J. M. Gearin said he had no doubt whatever that "the amendment, 'Joker' and all is merely permleslve In its scope. If the Legislature does nothing, elec tions will be conducted under the laws as they now stand, apart from this 'amendment.' While I fear it would be a difficult matter to comprehend the amend ment clearly it is plain no law has been passed by the adoption of this 'amend ment,' and the legislature, by remaining passive, would simply acquiesce In the holding of elections under present laws." Mr. Gearin was of the opinion that there was altogether too much experimenting in the Jaw-mating lines, and especially as to political laws, and a resultant com plexity in that respect. Judge C. H:. Carey did not lay any weight on the "Joker." He also was of opinion that the "amendment" was per nilsrive, and would require additional legislation to carry out its ideas. He did not believe it was at all necessary or judicious to re-entangle matters by en deavoring to split hairs over this amendment,- but he suggested that a just pro portionate representation law could be enacted, without, reference to this pres ent amendment. Opinion of Judge Williams. Judge George H. Williams read over the amendment very carefully. His judg ment was, that the "foker" clause In the amendment was in itself plainly incon sistent with the, rest of the amendment, and would so be held by sound legal in terpretation. That at best, the "amend ment" was permissive only. Indicating what the Legislature might do if it saw lit to follow out the suggestions of those who drafted the "amendment." That he was clearly of opinion that the Legisla ture was not bound, as by law, by such amendment, and that the inconsistency of the so-called "Joker" clause, - would doubtless Invalidate that part of the "amendment" anyway. Judge Williams believed the present law would stand as the guide for elections hereafter until amended or changed by positive laws duly passed . and becoming existing statutes. R. W. Montague believed that the real Intent of the promulgators of the amend ment wa to provide both for a vote for a single candidate, or for more than one. as necessity might direct. He said the joker" clause could consistently read as follows: "Every qualified voter resi dent In his precinct and registered as may be required by law, may vote for one person under the title for each office, or provision may be made by law for the voter s direct or Indirect expression of his first, second or additional choice among the candidates for any office." Existing Laws Not Changed. Mr. Montague was not only firmly of opinion that the present "amendment" In question did not change existing elec tion laws, but he took the further ground that "the legislature could proceed, at any time, to pass any- proportional rep resentation laws they might see fit to pass, without reference to this amend ment. In any way, shape, or manner." ' Judge Thomas O'Day had not had an opportunity to look into the question, and on that account refrained from giving an opinion as to the merits of the con troversy. But from the unanimous opinion of the gentlemen quoted, the "amendment" passed in June is "permissive," not legally obligatory." It does not change existing election laws, and would neces sarily require laws based on its sugges tions to be passed before this permis siveness crystallized into statutory re quirements. The Legislature, say these men, can do nothing. and nothing - is changed. If It sees fit to act, this amend ment cannot hamper or deflect its powers. - It would appear, therefore, that this 'amendment," so-called is legally speak ing but an inchoate suggestion, not even attaining to the dignity of a contingent remainder. Subsequent advice cannot erase from the books the existing laws of a state, and even the expressed de mand of an entire population for a change,, or repeal of a statutory enact ment, must be legally enforced and not theoretically "permitted" or suggested. MENELIK REPORTED DYING Abyssinian Ruler Again Rumored to Be Near Death. ADDIS ABABA. Abyssinia. FelwS. King Menelik Is sinking fast, and it is believed his death is not far off. PURSUIT. ENDS IN MURDER (Continued From First Page.) more than a year. The intimacy is said to have existed about two years. It was begun by the Cradlebaugh woman call ing frequently at Walton's home late In the evening and being escorted to her home by Walton until the suspicions, of Mrs. Walton were aroused and she or dered the visits to cease. A short time ago Cradlebaugh pur chased a revolver, stating to the clerk In the hardware store that he needed it at his house. He also said to a friend recently that he would shoot any man who came between his wife and him self. About a month ago, Mrs. Cradle baugh. with her two little sons,, aged U and 8. went on a visit to relatives in Los Angeles. A few days later Walton dis appeared.' Last week Cradlebaugh received a let ter, written by the eldest boy, in which he was told of the intimacy existing be tween his mother and Walton, and con cluding with the words: "I am tired of- being with Mama and tills other man. Papa, and I want you to come and get us, quick." r- The lad said in the letter that his mother was preparing to go to Denver. Cradlebaugh immediately prepared to follow them to the latter city, and left Wallace Sunday morning. To friends he stated he was merely going to get his boys, and would not seek either Walton or "Mrs. Cradlebaugh. Those to whom he confided his intentions expected no other result than the tragedy which occurred today. Fred Walton had lived In Wallace for nearly 20 years. He is generally known throughout the Coeur d'Alenes. having been Assessor of Shoshone County in 1894 and 1895. and grand master of the Odd Fellows lodges of the Sta.te of Idaho.

Cradlebaugh, who Is crippled with rheu matism. Is a millwright employed by the Federal Mining & Smelting Company. Mr. and Mrs. Cradlebaugh own their home at lflOfi Pearl street. That Cradle baugh feared something might happen which would prevent his return to Wal lace Is tndicated by the fact that he rented his home before leaving here. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cradlebaugh are prominent in several lodges. - Mrs. Cradlebaugh Is the daugnter or Mrs. Edward N. Mager of 413 Bonnibrae street, Los Angeles.

The prospective re tirement from business of another large brokerage firm Walker & Co. of New York and Chicago was announced to day. Following closely upon the winding up of" the firm of Sidney C.
