RELIEF DENIED FARMERS RECOMPENSE FOR DAMAGE BY BEAVERS OT COLLECTIBLE. Attorney-tieneral Says That Woodburn Fruitgrowers Hare Xo Case Against Officials. SALEM, Or., Feb. 18. (Special.)' Farmers living near Woodburn who have sustained extensive damage to their orchards through the depredations of beavers, are not entitled to recover damages from the state, the game warden or the members of the Fish and Game Commission, according to an opinion by Attorney-General Brown to day. As a result of the damage caused by beavers te fruit trees, residents near Woodburn who have suffered com plained to the Governor's office for re lief. E. P. Morcora, acting for the in jured farmers, in a letter to the exec utive's office, intimated that an at tempt might be made to fix the liability for the damage caused by beavers upon the game warden. Under the Oregon law, beavers which damage property may be killed by the property owner after permission is ob tained from the state game warden. The law also provides that damages sustained from the beavers' operations may be paid from money which may be realized from the sale of the beavers' fur after they are killed or captured. The Attorney-General says that the only way in which the state game war den or the Board of Fish and Game Commissioners could be held responsi ble for the damage done by beavers, would be - by the abuse of their dis cretion in refusing permission to kill the -beavers causing damage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. David R. Francis, of St. Louis, Secretary of the Interior in Grover Cleveland's Cabinet, and ex-Governor of Missouri, has re ceived an offer of the post of Ambassa dor to Russia to succeed George T. Marye. Mr. Francis has not replied, but President Wilson is understood to have urged him to accept. Mr. Marye has advised the State De partment that his resignation has been mailed from I'etrograd. There has been no formal announcement of his reasons for leaving the diplomatic service, but it is said that his health would not permit him to remain in the Russian climate. Government officials consider the Petrograd post an extremely important one at present because of questions growing out of the war and because the United States and Russia are dis cussing the negotiations of a new com mercial treaty to take the place of the one abrogated by this country several years ago. As the representative there of the interests of the Teutonic allies, the American embassy is entrusted with the task of inspecting detention camps in Russia.
