NEW YORK, Dec. 10. Obsessed
Avilh n desire for revenge, even nl
tlio risk of losing reputation and
liberty, Wnltcr A. Hull, according lo
bis confession in court tbis after
noon, stole $44,800 from the Herald
Square branch of the Greenwirn
bank because his salary had been
reduced as n result of the bankV
efforts to ninke up an amount Hall
accidentally hud lost, the institution.
Hall pleaded guilty before Judge
Crane. Then he said he wished to
make n complete confession. He
said that he worked for the bank at
n salary of $1400 a year and daily
handled money amounting to be
tween $100,000 and $300,000. One
day ho made an error in his ac
counts of $500, and the bank offi
cials, recognizing that the mistake
was not criminal, reduced his salary
to $900 in order to make up the
loss.
"I was unablo to support n wife
and family on $900 a year," contin
ued Hall, "and I thought an injus
tice had been done. I brooded over
it for a time until I desired nothing
no much as revengo. Filially I de
cided to tako all I could get in
v hands on and decamp. The day 1
left there was $48,800 in the bank.
I took it and fled to C'iada. 1
hung around the racetracks at
Windsor and Erie for a while, drop
ping $28,000.
"One day I heard that my wife
had given birth to n son. A wild do
sire to see my child overcame my
revengefulness and I have come
back to take my medicine like a
man."
The judge wns so overcome by the
pathos of Hall's story that ho re
manded the defendant to prison for
sentence Inter. It was intimated
that should the facts be proved il
will mitigate his punishment.

CHICAGO, HI., Dec. 10. Having
heard the charges that State Rep
resentatives Bcckmeyer and Link
told their votes for the election oi
William Lorimer to the United
States for $1000 each, Grant Mc
Cutchcon, n jurat; in the legislative
graft trials, concluded thnt ho was
worth as much as they, and when
impanelled ns a juror in the trial of
Lee O'Neil Browne, accused of brib-
q dry, he voted to acquit the defend
ant for that price..
This statement was made by Me
Ciitcheon todijj' on the witness stand
f whither ho had been called by the
Mntu to testify against Charier.
Erbstein, attorney for Browne,
charged with jury-bribing.
McOitchcon declared that while
awaiting his turn for examination
as a juryman in the necond Browne
trinl, ho conceived and perfected the
plan for selling himself. He swore
that Erbntein "threw liiii down" nf
tur he had voted to acquit Browne,
paying him only $100 in the first
installment, and no more. Ale
Ciitcheon Mated that ho made the
proposition to Erbstein on his own
initiative.'
TO TEACH BOY SCOUTS
HOW TO FIGHT FIRE
GRANTS PASS, Dec. 10. There
are 12,000,000,000 feet of merch
antable timber 'in the Siskiyou for
est, which has its headquarters at
Grants, Pass. Outside of the forest
and tributary to Grants Pass are
8,000,000,000 feet more of mcrch
nntnblo timber.
These figures nro derived from
the report of Forest Supervisor R.
L. Fromine of tho Siskiyou national
forest, ns far as the timber in the
forest is concerned, and from W. B.
Shexami for tho territory outsido
of the forest. W. B. Sherman
kno.ws more trees by their first
names than any man in Southern
Oregon, and the figures can be re
lied upon.
This vfl?t natural recourse is hard
ly ever m'lilioned. The booster ic"
so b'ls-y telling about the prize win

he forgets tho great source of
wealth enough to support tho city
ten times the size of Grants Pass.
A close examination of the. le
port of Mr. Fronuue reveals tho fact
that soventy-five per cent, of the
merchantable timber on tho Siski
you forest consists of Douglas fir,
known the world over ns "Oregon
fir"; sugar pine constitutes ten per
cent of the timber; yellow pine five;
cypress and redwood five hemlock
and hardwood, five per cent.
The report is a very complete one
and describes the forest in detail.
The Siskiyou forest embraces 1,302
393 acres of which 000,000 acres
are covered with merchantable tim
ber and 300,000 acres are classed as
woodland.
The water-power resources of the
foiest nre discussed Yind it is estim
ated that there is a total of 300,000
horse-power that can be developed
in the forest nlono.
Tho forest officer estimates that
80,000,000 feet of timber can bo cut
f i oin this forest annually without
depreciating growth stock. He ad
vocates tho cutting of 120,000,000
feet annually for a term of years
until the overmature supply is cut
off.

Trainiug in the methods of prevent

kane scout troops to help &yrend the
knowledge of fire danger among the
boys of the entire northwest. Call
Ultes, Jr., and tho Rev. David W.
Ferry, the lenders of the scout j
movement in Spokane, stated that
they believed the training of every
ocout should include some woik ii
u-lation to forest fires. ''The boy
scouts should be able to help us
greatly in our work," snid Forester
Allen. "The association is now pre
paring a series of leaflets intended
for distribution through the school-
to every boy and girl in the stute of
Washington, teaching the need of
protective legislation and care in
regard to campfires."
