Forester Is Defiant in
Taking Leave.
FRIENDS QUESTION JUDGMENT
Public Hearing Would Have

GREAT FIGHT IMPENDING
Bureau Officials Alarmed Lest
Shakeup Shall Follow George
P. McCabe Designated for
Place Temporarily.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Clifford Pin
chnt. who warn emoved yesterday by
President Taft from his position as
Chief Forester, made it clear today in
addresses to the officers of the Forest
Service, and the clerks of that organiza
tion, that his battle with the Secretary
of the Interior and the Administration
was net ended. Declining to express a
prrwuial opinion about his removal from
office, he also refused to discuss his
ylana for the future.
r Mr. PInchot arrived at nis office early
in order to arrange hieaffaira and with
draw as quickly as possible. A meeting
of the officials who had been under him
had already been arranged for 10:15
o'clock, and three quarters of an hour
later the clerical force of the Forest
Service arrived in his office to say good
bye. v
In addressing those with whom he had
been moct Intimately associated, Mr. Pin
chot declared he wanted them to remem
ber first that they must never forget that
"the fight in which you are engaged for
th safe and decent handling of our tim
ber land is infinitely larger than any
man's personal presence or personal Tu
ture." Continuing, he paid:
This fight must go on and you are the
men who must carry it on. Stay by the
works-; hold fast to the standards we
have set together. Never allow your
selves to forget that you are serving a
niTirb greater maater. than the Depart
ment of Agriculture or even the Adminis
tration.1' - "
In addressing the clerks Mr. Pinchot
commended them to maintain, the service
at the same standard and to press along
the same lines -wd never to forget , that
they were the servants of the people of
the United States, responsible to them
and to them alone.
"I don't. want you to get the Idea
and this is my personal end of It that
because I am going- out of the service
1 am In any way losing my interest
In it or my touch with it or with you,"
he said. ''Conservation is my life work,
in the Government service or out of it.
And this is the most important piece
of conservation work there is. There
fore, I propose to know about it, to fol
low the work you are all doing, ta
keep my interest In it. and so far as
there Is in any way possible, to keep In
touch with it."
None of the officials would discuss
the real and hidden meaning of Mr.
Plnchot's declaration. His friends like
wise refused to discuss his words, al
though It was generally conceded they
breathed defiance and were in the na
ture of an announcement that the ex
Chief Forester regarded himself as a
guardian of what in the recent contro
very had been called "the Interests of
the people."
There was reluctance in official circles
today to discuss the changes in the For
estry Bureau, but talk was freer with
reference to the fight yesterday on the
floor of the House.
From the supporters of Speaker Can
. non it was denied that the Insurgent vie-too-
was in any way a triumph over the
Speaker. It was pointed out that the
whole controversy was an Administration
fight, that the resolution itself was the
one desired by the Presiderft. and that
the Speaker was In no way concerned.
In fact, he was possibly glad to be re
lieved of the responsibility of naming

Hope Abandoned by Victims Below
and Watchers Above When Valve
Breaks Suddenly.

VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. 8. (Spe
cial.) Three men in the bottom of a
well 165 feet deep were inspecting" the
working of a new turbine pump In
stalled by the Vancouver Water Com
pany yesterday when a valve broke.
Simultaneously the lights went out.
Falling water prevented thetr attempt
ing to grope for the ladder, and the
broken valve was out of reach. In this
situation the men remained while the
water poured in. When after five min
utes it had reached their necks. It
stopped. The feed pipe which extend
ed from the well to the reservoir, 600
feet, had been emptied.
The men were .Roy Gaither. Lancy
Bell and Theodore Hartman, of Port
land. They were engaged, with others.
In Installing new equipment for the
local water company on the heights
east of the garrison. The pump
seemed to be working well, but when
It was turned off the first time the
pressure on the feed valve near the
top of the well was increased suddenly,
causing the break. Only by seeking
quickly the protection of the over
hanging timbers did the men save
themselves from serious injury by the
cascade.
Workmen at the top of the well
were powerless to do anything- to save
their companions, whom they did not
expect to see again alive. ,
SEEKING WIFE HE IS SHOT
Man Would Kill Woman Who Starts
Divorce Proceedings.
DENVER. Colo.. Jan. 8. Frederick
Goebel. a packer employed in a whole
sale dry goods house, was shot and
probably fatally wounded early this
morning while attempting; to break
into his wife's apartments to -punish
her for having instituted divorce pro
ceedings against him. .
The Goebels came to Denver more
than a year ago from California, where
they were married two years ago. Re
cently Mrs. Goebel brought suit tor di
vorce against her husband, alleging
extreme cruelty.
From 4;30 yesterday afternoon until
ah early hour this morning not less
than six small riots were quelled by
the police at the Goebel residenoe, on
Weltop street, resulting from the ef
forts of Goebel to break into his wife's
room and wreak vengeance on her.
During- the afternoon he had jnet her
on the street and nearly choked her to
death. -Later he again attacked her In
a physician's office. .
Guards were stationed around the
Goebel home, and Goebel was driven off
a number of times. Finally he eluded
the guards, lowered himself to the
basement, kicked down one door and
was trying to break down another,
when he was surrounded. Throwing
one guard aside, he ran, pursued by
police, who fired at him, and later he
was found in a doorway with a bullet
hole through his body. Goebel cannot
recover.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 8. On a level
and broad field, where but a week ago
a herd of cows grazed im, peace, a
miniature city of tents and plain
wooden structures today marks the
spot where the first aviation meet In
America is to begin, on Monday next,
and above which the first competitive
trials of speed an endurance between
heavier-than-air niachines will be seen
on this continent.
Aviation camp is 13 mil;-s from this
city on the lines of the Pacific Elec
tric extending to the numerous beach
resorts along the Pacific Coast. On a
stretch of high ground at one side of
the field a high grandstand ha been
erected, rising 40 feet in the aTr and
extending for 700 feet along the course
over which the trials of air craft and
speed contests will be hela.

Stretching out. across the aviation
field from; a point in front of tha
grandstand Is a long row of tents that
now cover numerous flying machines
and will house many more during! the

other side of the broad field another
line of tents are placed and here the
United States Army dirigible balloon
and many other dirigible airships are
being assembled, ready to be inflated.

It is a part of the famous Domlnguez

tract as he could ride around between
sunrise and sunset. The soldier waited
until one December 21 to ride the boun

, Here Battle Was Ir'ooglX.'
The very slope over which the mod
ern vessels of the air wll sail on Mon
day was made historic October 7, IS96,
by a battle between members of the
crew of the -vessel on which Commo
dore Stockton afterward embarked at
Saiv Pedro' for Monterey to rafte the
American flag over California. In this
conflict between the American sailors
and the early Californians, six of the
sailors were killed when the Califor
nians discharged a Cannon loaded with
nails and slugs of lead from the back
of a mule. Their bodies were burled
on an Island at the mouth of San
Ped-ro harbor, afterwards . and to this
day known as Deadmans Island.
The course that has been laid out on
this gentle slope is visible from every
part of the big field which surrounds
it, and from the crest of the hill on
which the grandstand rests not only all
of the course may be plainly viewed,
but beyond It the broad valley on the
far slope of which the cities of Los
Angeles appear.

RESULT PREDICTED CLOSE
Storrow. Citizens' League Candidate,
and Fil.gerald. ex-Mayor, Are
Principal Opponents WHl
Others Straggling' Along.
BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 8.-KSpecial.)
Boston tonight wound up. except for the
finishing touches, the fiercest municipal
campaign In its history. The election
Tuesday will be the first under the new
non-partisan plan and for a non-partisan
campaign this has certainly been a reve
lation to the sponsors of the new. order
of things.
One of the candidates for Mayor con
fesses he has spent nearly $10,000, and he
accuses his chief opponent of having
spent more than J200.000. This charge Is
not dprded. The other two candidates,
without a ghost of a chance of election,
have spent about $SuO0. The various can
didates for the City; Council .have prob
ably spent $20,000, so1 that the cost of the
campaign to the various aspirants figures
up close to a quarter of a million dollars.
The ballots on Tuesday wllT bear the
names of the candidates without party
or other designation, and the campaign
has been non-partisan except so far.as
the known political affiliations of the
candidates have influenced voters.
The Issues of the contest early shaped
themselves as between James' J. Storrow,
candidate for Mayor of the Citizens' Mu
nicipal League, and John F. Fitzgerald,
ex-Mayor, who seejts election mainly as
a vindication for hfs defeat two years
ago by George A. Hibbard, the present
Mayor. '
Fitzgerald has been on the defensive
throughout. His conduct of city affairs
while Mayor furnished Storrow ma
terial for some of the most savage at
tacks ever knownMn a municipal cam
paign. Hibbard Seeks re-election because he
says neither Fitzgerald nor Storrow is
a fit man for Mayor, and Nathaniel H.
Taylor is running on a "square deal"
platform.
The total vote Tuesday will be about
90,00t. Hib"bard and Taylor will get
perhaps 8000 votes together and the in
dications tonight are the balance will
be so nearly divided between Storrow
and Fitzgerald that the winner of the
four-year term will have onl' a small
plurality.
Two , weeks agro Fitzgerald was
thought to have the better chance, for
his extraordinary personality and ap
peals against his millionaire opponent
were very effective, but sentiment has
undoubtedly changed with Storrow's
attacks on the stump and in pages of
newspaper advertising, and' he is now
on at least equal grounds. His ad
vertising has been notable and accounts
for most of his great expenditure of
money.
The indications are that the new City
Council, of nine members, in place ol
the old Board of Aldermen and Com
mon Council of 13 and 75 members re
spectively, wiir'contain a majority of
Citizen's League men.

however, to charge a small fe for gen
