General Electric Company Not Sub­
je c t o f Federal Inquiry.
Washington, Sept. 22.— When a re­
port that the government was inves­
tigating the General Electric com­
pany as a trust was brought to the
attention o f the department o f justice
Saturday, it was stated that it is a
fact that inquiry was being made into
certain comparatively small electrical
material dealers who are charged with
constituting a trust.
Nothing has been heard from any
o f the department subordinates about
the General Electric Company being
connected with the blatter. Regret
-was expressed at the department that
Teports should be published on the
subject at this time, as it was de­
clared no proceedings o f any kind
m ay be taken.
The inquiry was yet unfinished, and
it was feared that a premature pub­
lication may impede its progress.
Lecture Benk Exemlners.
Washington, Sept. 23.— " I say to
you emphatically that your work must
t>c improved. Embezzlements have
failed o f discovery, defalcations and
dishonesty have been concealed from
you, and in many cases you have failed
to correctly or even approximately
estimate the value o f the paper and
securities held by the banks.” This
was the declaration made yesterday
b y Controller o f the Currency L a w ­
rence O. Murray in addressing the
conference o f national bank exam­
iners, representing practically all of
the territory east o f Ohio.
Washington, Sept. 24.— The Philip­
pines may surpass Alaska in gold pro­
duction within the next few years.
“ There is a surprise in store for those
disposed to look upon the Philippines
as -a ‘useless acquisition/ ” says A.
Heise, a mining engineer o f Manila,
who is now in Washington. “ Before
the Spanish conquest gold *dust *n
considerable quantities was exported
from the Philippines to China, and
since American occupation the work
o f prospecting has made vypnderful
strides. Next year gold to the value
of $1,000,000 will be taken out, and
the installation o f improved machin­
ery will soon make possible a produc­
tion of at least $5,000,000 annually.
“ O re bodies now in sight will yield
$100,000,000. There is every reason
to believe that as mining operations
progress greater and richer deposits
o f the precious metal will be uncov
ered. It will not be long before the
Philippines will take a leading po­
sition in gold producing.”
Retire American Dreyfus.
Washington, 5<pt. 23.— Secretary o f
W ar W right yesterday announced
that Colonel W illiam F. Stewart, now
at Fort Grant, Ariz., had been ordered
to appear before the retiring board
here. I f Colonel Stewart is found to
be unfit for service, he will be com­
pelled to retire from the army. The
action o f the secretary o f war was
jaken on receiving reports from Fort
Grant that Colonel Stewart was unfit
to take the 90-mile ride.
Ready fo r Launching.
Washington, Sept. 23.— According
to reports received at the navy de­
partment yesterday, work on the
North Dakota, the new battleship
now under construction at Fore
River, Mass., is nearing comple­
tion, and will be ready for launching
within the nex( tw o months. The
North Dakota is designed to be one
o f the speediest battleships afloat, and
will be surpassed by few war vessels
o f the world.

Eureka, Cgl., Sept. 25.— A strong
wind fanned forest fires to the north
o f this city that wiped out the town
o f Luffenholtz from the map last
night, and that were again raging
with added force, and the greatest
destruction during the progress o f
the fire was recorded during the day.
Tjhe p la n t'of the T ittle River Red­
wood Lumber company is burning
and all ttyat protects the town of
Fieldbrook is 100 yards o f green tim­
ber, which may ward o ff tne flames,
although the residents are preparing
to flee with their household goods.
The fire devastated a stretch of
timber over 30 miles long and from
four to five miles wide, burning
houses, mostly squatter settlements,
thousands o f cords o f wood and manv
thousands of acres of timber land
The plant o f the L ittle River Red­
wood Lumber company, new reported
burnipg, is valued at $1,000,000,. ex­
clusive o f timber, o f which there is
several thousand acres.
T w o deaths have been recorded. A
body found, at first thought J o be
that o f A. Carlson, has now* been
identified as that o f Frank W hite-
more, while another charred corpse
found at Trinidad has not. been iden­
tified.
Fire is now going inland up Little
River at a furious pace. A t noon the
wind was blowing the flames through
sparse timber that was once logged
o ff or denuded o f its big trees, but
so fast are they traveling that there
is no doubt they will again get into
thick timber at the head o f Little
river, when the damage will be hard
to estimate. I f fire, once gets into
this timber, there w ill be no stopping
it until it reaches the Trinity county
line, unless the wind changes or a
heavy rain fails.

Oil King Makes Daniel o f Accusation#
Against Him.
N ew - York. Sept. 25.— John D.
Rockefeller appears for the first time
in the role of an author in a series of
articles on “ Some Random Reminis­
cences o f Men and Events," the first
of which will appear on Friday in
the Ocober issue o f “ The W o rld ’s
W ork."
Mr. Rockefeller gives as a reason
for speaking now that “ if a tenth of
the things that have been said are
true, then dozens o f able and faithful
men who have been associated with
me, many o f whom have passed away,
must have been guilty o f grave faults.
For myself, I had decided to say
nothing, hoping that after my death
the truth would gradually come tea
the surface and posterity would do
strict justice; but while I live and
can testify to certain things, it seems
fair that 1 should refer to some points
which I hope will help to set forth
several much discussed happenings in
a new light. I am convinced that
they have not been fully understood.
“ It has been said that I forced the
men who became my partners in the
oil business to join with me. I would
not have been so short-sighted. I f it
were true that I followed such tactics,
I ask, would it have been possible to
make o f such men life-long com­
panions?”
Mr. Rockefeller speaks o f the de­
velopment o f the Standard Oil com­
pany and says that the plan o f selling
direct to the consumer and the ex
ceptionally rapid growth o f the busi­
ness “ bred a certain antagonism
which I suppose could not have been
avoided."

Severe Results from Rainfall ahd Elec­
trical Tempest in California.
Los Angeles,* Cal.. Sept. 25.— A
storm o f unprecedented extent and
duration for this time Of year visited
this city and the surrounding counties
the past 48 hours, the rainfall amount­
ing to several inches in some places
and the electrical display which ac­
companied the storm resulting in con­
siderable property damage, particu
larly at Bakersfield, where a ranch-
house was struck and destroyed.
A cloudburst in the Kern river oil
fields caused the loss o f a great quan­
tity o f oil, which escaped to the irri­
gation ditches. A t San Luis Obispo
a barn was struck by lightning, de
stroying it and s o ' terrifying the
horses that six had to be shot.
Local Option Wine Point.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 25.— Local
optionists made a stand in the house
yesterday, and won a signal victory
over their opponents, who have been
working persistently to gain an ad­
vantage over the anti-liquor forces
The bill was advanced to a second
reading after a vote which showed
51 to 49 in favor o f the local option­
ists. The close vote does not fully
signify the full extent o f the victory,
for there were many powerful influ­
ences exerted against the anti-liquor
men. An effort was made to kill the
bill by indefinitepostponement.
