tendent of the United States hatch
eries, of the Columbia River hatch
eries, who was authorized to an
nonuce the opinions of the bureau of
the fisheries and of himself, by H. M.
Bowers, commissioner of bureau.

worthy since it was the first time

thrown the authority of the govern
ment opinion against the Astoria fish
nterests in a public meeting and in
defense of the wheelmen of the up'
per river.

Dr. J. R. Wilson. Numerous salmon
men had been invited to attend, but
those who came were only H. C. Mc
Allister, Oregon fish warden: Lornt
sen, Warren, Seufert and O Malley,
The gillnetters and wheelmen
crossed swords in the old familiar
way on the fishing proposition and
on each of them Ut Malley sided
with the wheelmenr
Prohibition of bar fishing; less
fishing In spring and none in Aug
ust; no fishing on Sunday, and the
regulation of all classes of gear and
abolition of none (meaning wheels),

will be held, for the purpose of tak

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Geo.
B. Kene, former secretary of the

also former secretary to Mayor

today in the trial of Abraham Ruef.

Schmitz from 1901 to the time of his
indictment?" asked Assistant District
Attorney Henry after a few prelimi
nary questions. .
Attorney Henry Ach. for Ruef. ob
jected to the question, arguing that
Kuet s relations with Schmitz orwr
to the introduction of the trolley or
dinance for passage by the supervis
ors were not material. . An hour s
argument between counsel was end
ed by Judge Lawlor, who sustained
the objection.
Keane s testimony was to the
fact of the existence of the board of

ment proceedings shall be instituted.
Jjdge Root denies the truth of the
cha-ges.. ; Judge Gordon resigned
from the employ of the Great North
era a few weeks ago and since then
charges have been published that his
resignation was due to alleged short
