International , treaties looking- to the conservation and propagation of , ocean and deep sea life were urged today by Dr. Barton Warren Evermann, San Francisco,- in an address delivered at a joint ses sion of .the ecological society of America and the western society of ; naturalists in connection with the ninth annual meeting here of the American-association for the advancement of science.' - tThe resources of the earth, said Dr. Evermann, who is acting sec retary 'treasurer of the California academy of sciences, are being exploited and consumed in a de gree that may be expected to bring about eventual depletion. Ore. coal, fur, river fish and, other na tural resources are being rapidly consumed, and the land itself, called upon the produce successive crops ; of agricultural and horti cultural products, calls for artifi cial fertilizer, and always, in cer tain sections, for irrigation. ' '?The ocean," said Dr. Ever mann, ' "will never lack .moisture, and so far as. man .has been .able to determine it offers now .the same! nourishment and protection for; its living .inhabitants; that it offered in the dawn of .history. But against the day when de mands may.be made upon -it, for human sustenance and for the materials' of .which civilization is built, there' should be internation al agreement tnat win iook to. me protection of ocean life that it may be available when needed.' ; F. j P.

Motor vehicle traffic and regu lation eleven years .ago caused the- city fathers of those days as much grief and perplexity as to day, according to clipping on file at the police court, found this week by M.' Poulsen, city record er. . Complaint was made against a 30-minute parking ordinance by the city'councll June 16," 1914. What makes the complaint hum orous today is the fact that in the entire state that year there were registered 'only 16,347 motor vehicles of alt! descriptions in comparison with the 12,162 pas senger vehicles and trucks regis tered in Marion county alone on May 31, 1925.

"If the auto la backed ud against . the . curb af the proper angle tht car may stand in this position all day and tie tramers of the prdinance do not believe thati this procedure will work any hardships upon au to owners. "No more than two autos may be parked together, however as the committee believes that this method will relieve the possibility of accidents in case streetcar were in the street" and an automo bile was' obliged to dodge a pe- destrain, which jnight .be . dlf ft cult feat if the curbs were lined with machines." , Dr. B.

(By -The Associated Press) Testimony de pended upon to prove t$e death of William Nelson McClintock, .the millionaire orphan, wasjeriminally accomplished was adduced by the prosecution today, concluding its case in the murder trial of Wil liam' Darling Shepherd. Charles C. Faiman, Indicted jointly with Shepherd, never fal tered in his accusation of Shep herd. . . ' .' . ' i , ' : ' Called by the court after Prose cutor -Robert-E. Crowe refused to do so, Faiman. gave , his testimony upon direct examination of Judge Thomas -J. Lynch. He testified giving three test tubes full of typhoid baccili and teaching - him how to slay young McClintock with them. He said he returned to gjhepherd an In criminating letter for 150, and had demanded $250,000 for as sisting him .In the slaying. He asserted he finally agreed upon $100,000. . . Cross examination by Prosecutr or Crowe, developed Faiman had beeiy "promised consideration" ,by the state, and understood that to mean "immunity." - ... William iScott Stewsfrt, chief of defense counsel, attempted to ridi cule Faiman, his science school and the young 'man's' life work. alotfg with forcing many - admis sions of falsehoods Faiman had made about various events con nected with the Shepherd case and gained an admission he had given three different stories about his dealings with Shepherd. Stewart said his intention was to show Falman's testimony was too ludicrous for belief. , j Stewart's cross examination amused the spectators and Judge Lynch summoned extra bailiffs to preserve- order. i Ten times Faiman testified he- met Shepherd after the lawyer "wrote "him 'asking about bacteri ology, courses. Faiman admitted he did not know' Shepherd ! contemplated murder jwhen he gave him the typhoid 'germs and said he first became suspicious when Shepherd sought to recover the letter and said , be had a big proposition on Paiman admitted he never has at tempted to collect the promised $100,000.

(By The Associated Press),- The pass ing of Robert M. La Follette from the political stage may be destined to have a' greater effect upon po litical events of the next few years than has that of aqy other American within a decade. His death leaves a great army of followers without a recognized leader. Its' immediate effect upon the fortunes of the new political organization which he so recently inaugurated . can be' - left .only to conjecture, but without undertak ing to assess that his supporters declare the movement will go for ward with increasing momentum. Who will succeed to the place he has made vacant is a question to which the answer lies in the future. , But whoever takes It will be called . upon to . maintain a rec ord fo leadership unusual in po litics. - : Throughout his ; tenure as a titular .head - of tthe insurgent group In congress,- the Wisconsin senator was able to keep ' his forces in line on almost every major issue. This group exerted an influence upon legislation and policies that on more . than . one occasion overbalanced' all of the strength brought to bear by those in power. For many years Senator La Fol lette cond acted a lone fight, but as time wore on he gathered about him a group sufficient to wield the balance pf power in both the house and senate. 'So strong was his influence that even when sick ness compelled his absence from the senate he ,wa able to make his views felt in no uncertain manner.;,."; '.i',-., .. , While elected always as a, re-; publican. Senator La Follette split finally with) the recognized leaderr ship of that party to head the in dependent presidential ticket in 1924. As a result, a majority of. the senate republicans read him and his three chief supporters in that chamber out of ;the party councils This action .apparently never gave the senator the slightest con cern and he went; ahead .with .a plan to consolidate the movement of which he was the head. After the first shock of the senator's', death, there was con siderable speculation as to a sue cessor to take up the mantle he has laid down. The general opin Ion appeared to behowever, that it was too early to offer conjee tures In that direction. Senator La-Follette's death was not attributed by his physicians and; family to the grind of cam paigning last year nor to his dis appointment over his showing as a presidential candidate, bat ,ra ther'to' his persistent tendency to overtax his strength ' throughout bis career.

La Follette of Wisconsin. : Peacefully the Wisconsin sena tor, last vear an independent can didate for president passed away at his' home, a victim or neart attacks from which he had been a sufferer for a decade, bronl chitis, bronchial asthma. To the last Mr. La Follette sought to ward off death's thrust. as he had done on several occa sions in recent years, but when be realized that the fight was a losing one he called his son, Rob ert, to his bedside and in an ai- most inaudible. voice gave this last message to the public: "I am at peace with all the world, but there is a lot of work I could still do, I don't know how .the people will 'feel ;toward me. but I shall take to the grave my love for them which has sus tained me through : life." , Confined to his bed for, several weeks by illness which had wrecked his body repeatedly in the last few years but had. failed to weaken his fighting spirit, the senator suffered a heart attack, this morning which brought to his physicians a realization that '. the end was near: ' He lapsed Into un consciousness shortly before, noon and died at 1:21 p. m., with, his wife and other members -of the "family "at his bedside. -. .Without ostentation, the body will - be taken tomorrow to the senator's home at Madison, Wis.. for burial.
