Tins MORXTXG OKEGOXIAT.T MOXDAY. -AUGUST 1913. vnimn IUU1 ninpc TDISI iUUIUUU iniHL WILL BEGIN TODAY Violation of White Slave Act on Six Counts Arc Charged in Indictment. CAMINETTI HEARING- NEXT Instructions From Washington, At torney Koche Says, Are to Prose . cute Defendants to "Limit. Maximum Penalty 10 Years. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. (Special.) Maury I. Diggs, former state archi tect, will bo to trial on an indictment charging violation of the Mann White Slave Act on six counts, before Judge William C Van Vleet in the First Divi sion of the United States District Court at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The trial of Diggs will be followed by that of Drew Camlnetti, son of Anthony Caminettl, Commissioner Gen eral of Immigration and former State Senator. It has been decided to try the young men separately. Both are charged with inducing Martha War rington and Lola Norrla, of Sacra mento, to accompany them from Sacra mento to Reno for immoral purposes. The penalty is 10 years in the peniten tiary. At tho conclusion of Caminetti's trial, Dlggs and Charles B. Harris, a Sacramento attorney, will be placed on trial on an indictment charging oen- fTiracy to suborn perjury. Judge Vanl Vleet will be on tho bench for all three trials. Conspiracy Charge Abandoned. Theodore Rche, special jrosecutor, said today that the charge of conspir acy to violate the Mann act, on which It was intended first to bring the young men to trial, will not be pressed in case of conviction of actual viola tion of the act. Rocne said that on re ceiving instructions from Washington to prosecute Diggs and Caminettl to the limit, It was decided to abandon the conspiracy charge, for which the maxi mum penalty is two years' imprison ment, and proceed with the more seri ous charge of actual violation. The maximum penalty on this charge is five years, but owing to the six counts against the defendants, they may be sentenced to 10 years. The six counts of the indictment are: . That Diggs transported and assisted In transporting Miss Warrington from Sacramento to Reno for immoral pur poses: that he purchased the tickets by which she was so transported; that he enticed her into accompanying.jhlm to Reno; that he is guilty of these same three charges in the case o Lola Nor ris. Trial Should Be Short. Prosecutor Roche said that the length of the trial depends on whether the defense is prevented from employ ing certain tactics. The prosecution hopes to avoid going into each of the six counts separately, In which case, Roche asserts, the, trial will take oi:Ty a few days. Otherwise it may require weeks. Tomorrow will be taken up with the selection of a jury from the regular term venire of talesmen. Of the 100 names on the venire 96 have been re turned. Prosecutor Roche expects that the jury will be complete when court adjourns in the evening. The prosecution will be conducted by Roche and Matt I. Sullivan. The open ing statement of the prosecution will be made by Sullivan. The prosecution has subpeuaed 25 witnesses. The de fense will have a. larger number, many being witnesses against the character of the girls. The attorneys for the defense are Marshall Woodworth, Nat C. Coghlan and S. Luke Howe.

In making a study of grazing lands on the National forests. 125 entirely new species of plants have been dis covered by the Government's experts, and will be named and classified by the botanists of the Department of Agriculture. Their discovery came about through the collection of some 9000 different plant specimens, with notes as to -their habits of growth and forage value. This work is part of a comprehensive -Tlan to determine the grazing value of every acre -rt National forest land, in whfch the capacity of the soil to grow cer tain forage crops is to be determined and an effort made to decide for which class of stock sheep, cattle or goals the range is best suited. The men who have made the studies have combined tfi"e qualities of practical stockmen and trained botanists. They divided the areas into such small sub divisions that maps have been prepared which show exactly the kinds of feed which grow on each acre, and the time of year it is ready for grazing. The maps also show the stock's water sup ply and indicate the kind of stock best suited to the area. - " The investigation also showed the examiners many areas covered with flourishing plants which, apparently should furnish excellent grazing, but which were not of a character relished by stock; these areas, therefore, had little or no stock-carrying capacity.- - As a result of the study, the forest. service announces that it will be in a position to perfect Its system of grazing management to bring about still better conditions for both stock-and range.

For sale by Huntley Bros., Fourth and Washington streets, RATES OF EXPRESS ORDERED REDUCED Notable Reforms in Practice , Demanded by Interstate Commission. REVENUE CUT 16 PER CENT New 'System to Be Put Into Effect , October 15, Originated- by Sec retary Lane, Will Cost Com panies 526,000,00 Year. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Reductions in express rates which will cost the companies fully $26,000,000 a. year, ap proximately 16 per cent of their gross revenue, were ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission today to become effective on October 15, 1913. Notable reforms in practices also were ordered. The most important change pre scribed by the order Is by way of modi fication of the present graduated scale of - parcel rates. - One-hundred-pound rates for short distances . either have been left unchanged or sligntly. reduced; for longer distances they, have been lowered; for 50 pounds or less all rates have been reduced. For packages of more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2000. the new express rates are -generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 3000 miles the rates are practically the same. . Lane Author of System. - The report and order of the Commis sion prepared by Commissioner John Marble, are a virtual affirmation of the findings of former Commissioner Frank lin X Lane, now Secretary of the In terior. By prescribing so-called block sys tem, dividing the United States into 950 blocks averaging 2500 square miles, as originally proposed by Lane, 900,- 000 different rates now published by the express companies will be reduced to less than 650,000, and the Interstate Commerce Commission believes that the system points the way to a solution of the existing problem of freight rates. - The express companies had filed statements indicating that the loss of revenue under the proposed rates would be intolerable and argued strenuously that the establishment of the parcel post had deprived them of 30 per cent of the revenue they formerly received from parcels of 11 pounds or less. They contended that the express business could not survive the losses from both sources. "This is equivalent to saying," com ments Commissioner Marble in hlB re port, "that Inasmuch as shippers bave been given the convenience and econ omy of the parcel post, the express car. riers must, on that account, be allowed to charge higher rates than otherwise would be reasonable. That Is to say, the Commission- is called on to take from the shippers -of the country all the benefit they receive from the par cel post, and give it to the express companies in the form of higher rates on the remaining business." . New System Simple. The new system of rates is not only a. simplification of existing rate methods, but in the opinion of rate ex perts, lays the foundation for future practice in all rate revisions. While the Commission has not con sidered the practicability of the ap plication of the block system to the making of freight rates, it is known that the question may be taken up al most at any time. With a standard freight rate once established between blocks instead of between points and all other rates stated in percentages of the standard, the mystery of the pres ent complicated maze of freight rates. In the opinion of the Commission's experts, would be solved. The basis of the classification pre scribed by the Commission is that all articles of merchandise of ordinary value are to be carried at first class or ordinary merchandise rates. Arti cles of food and drink with a few ex ceptions are second class and are to be carried at 75 per cent of the first class rates. The rates for newspapers and period icals, as well as for bread and such articles for which specially low rates are charged, are substantially the same as the present rates. NAVAL-BASE RUMOR DENIED General Bullock Says Britain AVill Not Fortify at Bermuda. NEW YORK. Aug. 4. Lieutenant General Sir G. M. Bullock, Governor of Bermuda, who arrived here today. on a vacation trip, deprecated the report that Great Britain is contemplating es tablishing a strong naval base in Ber muda. "I think a great deal has been made out of small material," he said. "Eng land has for a long time maintained a sort of naval base at Bermuda, and often there are a number of small war craft there. Our real naval base is, of course, at Jamaica. It may be that the opening of the Panama' anal will pall for a. coaling depot In Bermuda, but the Idea 'of a great naval base . there is largely imagination. "As a private individual I should say that there is no necessity for a naval base in Bermuda." ROAD BOND PETITION OUT Workers in Jackson County Propose . $500,000 Issue. ; ASHLAND, Or.,' Aug. 4.

This Is Interpreted to mean that there will be no prosecution- in' connection with the payment last week of $500 by Emmanuel Sas tillo Brlto. former provisional Governor of Campeche, Mex.. on an alleged promise of Immunity from arrest on criminal charges preferred by the Mexi can government. ' G.

Tomorrow Judge Foster, of the Fed eral Court, will hear tlje heabeas corpus petition of ex-Governor Brlto. .- WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. The release j from custody at New Orleans of agents of the Department of Justice charged with accepting a bribe to prevent the arrest of ex-Governor Brito, of Campeche, Mexico, means. It is believed by officials, here, the transfer of the case- from the state to the federal authorities. The meager official advices received by the Department of Justice, tonight led officials to conclude that the state charge of blackmail originally pre ferred against Special Agent Matthews, J. L. Mott, his assistant, and the Mexi can, Fernandez, practically had been dropped and that the federal govern ment would Investigate to determine whether any attempt had been made to solicit a bribe by those accused. This would be a federal offense. The charge of blackmail was preferred, it is said, on the assumption that the telegram directing the arrest of Brlto was a fake, but as this was a genuine dis patch, the allegation'Tiow resolved Itself into a question of alleged bribery.

HOW I MADE MY HAIR GROW Woman With Marrelornsly Beautiful Hair Gives Simple Home Prescription Which She Teed With Most Remarkable Results. I vas greatly troubled with dandruff and fall ins hair. I tried many advertised hair preparations and various prescription, tau they all signally failed; many of them made my hair greasy so It was impossible to comb It or do it up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were positively Injurious end from my own experience I cannot too jrtrongly caution you against using preparations containing wool alcohol and other poisonous substances. I believe they injure the roots of the hair. After my long list of failures, I finally found a sim ple prescription which I can unhesitatingly state is beyond doubt the most wonderful thing for the hair I bave ever seen. Many of my friends have also used it, and ob tained wonderful effects therefrom. It not only is a powerful jtixnulant to the growth of the hair and for restoring gray hair to its natural color, but it is equally good for removing dandruff, giving the hair life and brilliancy, etc. and tor the purpose of keep ing i lie scalp in first-cla-ss condition. It aleo makes the hair easier to comb and ar range in nice form. I have a friend who used it two months and during that time it has not only stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully increased, its growth, but it practically restored all of his- hair to its natural color. You can obtain tne In gredients for making this wonderful prep aration from almost any druggist. The pre ecription is as follows: Bny Rum, oz. ; Menthol Crystals. H drachm; X-avona de Compoaee', 2 oz. If you like it perfumed add a few drops of To Kalon Perfume which mixes perfectly with th other ingredients. This, however, is not nece3ary.
