U'Ren, whose name was ! involved with that of Louis R. Glavis, j former secretary of the state conserva tion commission, in a statement issued I Thursday by Surveyor General Kings ; bury concerning Glavis , resignation I from his state office, responded yes i terday to Kingsbury's charges. U'Rens statement follows: "A half truth is the worst kind of a lie, and this is the sort of falsehood of which Surveyor General Kingsbury has been guilty. "A plain statement of the facts con nected with his 'charges' would bavi been a complete answer to any suf j picion of improper conduct on the part of either Mr. Glavis or myself. In stead of doing so, he has resorted to insinuation and innuendo In his effort to make the public believe that th* state's interests have been betrayed. 11KMES WORK AGAINST STATE "Any statement that either Mr. Glavis ior myself have acted against the in terests of the state, or that the state has any interest whatever in the land which is the eubject of the applica tions before the interior department at ■ Washington, is an infamous falsehood. The state has sold all of its right, title I and interest in and to the land in ques ! tion and is not concerned in any way, excepting that it is under the highest moral obligation to see that *he pur chasers get the land. "I notice Mr. Kingsbury, in hie latest interview, has abandoned al! of his J previous charges, excepting that of crn- I ployment. He formerly charged that both Mr. Glavis and myself opposed and defeated a bill pending in congress providing that the secretary of the in terior should clear list lands In the order of the filing: of the application. "The utter falsity and absurdity of this charge is MtM when it is known that no such bill was ever introduced in congress and, therefore, no such legislation ever proposed. "Another charge abandoned by Kingsbury was that both Mr. <;iavia and myself opposed another bill which he had caused to be introduced. This was a bill giving the secretary of the Interior authority to.accept base in ex change for lieu land —a power which the secretary of the interior has ex orcised ever since the department was established and upon the possession of which power by the secretary rests the validity of all titles In the public land states. The bill was characterized aa absurd by the officials of the Interior department, but notwithstanding this neither Mr. Glavis nor myself opposed the bill. XOT COMMISSION'S ATTOK3VEY "I have never attempted to conceal the fact that I worked to obtain a de cision in these matters. My letter is in the official files at Washington and is open to public Inspection. "Mr. Kingsbury has also misstated my connection with the state conser vation commission by stating that I was its attorney. T>ls is false. J am not now nor have I ever been such attorney. I was employed at the re quest of the commission itself to in veetigate and report to the commission upon the existing laws relating to water and water power. This I have done to the entire satisfaction of the commission, as Its chairman has in formed me. I never had anything to do with any Heu land settlement be tween the state and nation. "A complete answer to the charge that my connection with these cases in any way detracted from, my interest in the cause of conservation is the recommendations contained in my re ports to the conservation commission and the bills recommended by the com mission and which will be introduced in the legislature. The public will soon know that the men who are now crying "wolf" the loudest are the men who will seek to defeat these con servation measures, which the interest of the public demand."

HENDRIGKS FAILS TO SHOW IN COURT Judge Shortall Raises Bond and Issues Warrant for Man Wanted Private Detective Charged With Intimidation Held in Detinue Albert Hendricks, a member of the automobile firm of Hendricks & Leio hart, 132 Valencia street, failed to put in an appearance before Police Judge Shortall yesterday morning when hi* case was called in connection with an alleged felonious as.-iauU upon 1C year | Old Muiit- i>ruhn of 8400 Mission jticet. j Information Ctuie to the court that! Hendricks had Mapped and jumped his j bail. "How much bail is the defend- j ant at liberty nn." inquired Police \ Judge Shortall of Attorney William J. Hagerty, former pplite commissioner. '•One thousand dollars," replied Hag erty. "'I srt the hail at $5,000 bonds or $3,000 cash. Who reduced the amount originally .set by myself?" asked Judge Shortaji; JIDOK VCLUtR REDKEI) BAIL Judge Welter did," eald Hagerty, "at my request. 1 told ftinj that Hendricks w.is ;: t>ua{neei man and would ap pear when the ca.se was called. ! am very sorry that Hendricks is not here. 1 am not the attorney for the defend ant, but Attorney Olds, who is busy In the superior court, has asked that the case go over until Monday." Judge Shortall continued the case until Monday, and if Hendricks is not in court the $1,000 will be forfeited. A bench warrant was issued for Hen dricjts with bail fixed at $20,000. A bench warrant was also issued for the Bruhn girl, who failed to appear. Judge Shortall intimated that some one had been tampering with the case to defeat justice. Marie Bruhn and Esther Mentor of 771 Hayes street took an automobile ride with Hendricks on the night of December l>6. In Golden Gate park Hendricks attempted to assault the Bruhn girl and was only prevented, it is alleged, h> the occupants of a pass- , ing automobile. Detectives Harvey and Leonhardt- attested Hendricks. says OJ&T&CTIVE wjoanm her The Mentor girl told Judge Shortall yesterday that an unknown man who represented himself as a detective called upon her recently and told her not to testify against the automobile man. The Bruhn girl, it is said, was also visited by the mysterious stranger. If the Bruhn girl is found she will be turned over to tho Juvenile court and held until Hendricks is located. The Mentor gir! will be looked after by members of the Oceanside Improve ment club, who crowded the courtroom and prevented her from meeting the stranger who told her not to be a wit ness. Detectives Harvey and Leonhardt last night arrested James Christie, a private detective, and placed him In detinue. Christie is alleged to have intimidated witnesses in the case and* will be held until this morning, when he will be brought before Judge Short all. Art School S. F.

DEATH MYSTERY IS DEEP Efforts of the police to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of Jerry Milkovlch, a longshoreman, whose body was found Thursday morn ing at Bay and Mason streets, have proved of no avail, and the detectives are without a clew. More than a score of men and women who knew Milk ovieh have been questioned, but none could supply a fact which might lead to a solution of the problem or the identity of the slayers. It Is known that Mllkovich was friendly with sev eral women, but those who have been seen can furnish no aid to the polioe. A coroner's jury viewed the body yes terday. The inquest will be held in about a week. Milkovich's friends and others who were drinking with him New Year night will be subpenaed to testify. i TEACHERS IN ROW ON REFERENDUM Move for Vote on Council's Law Suggestions Fails to Carry Resolution Defeated When 100 Members Are Accused of Acting for 2,600 Squalls threatened the smooth sailing of the general session of the forty-sixth annual meeting , of the bay section of the California Teachers' association in Native Sons' hall yesterday afternoon when a resolution providing for refer endum to teachers on legislation pro posed by the council of education was discussed. The resolution failed to carry. James Ferguson In a talk accused members of the association of trying to have 100 teacliers express the will of 2,600 others unable or unwilling t> l attend the meetings of the association "It's unfair!" be shouted, and in stantly a babel of voices answered him from all parts of the hall. '^ Tlie school teachers were rebuked retiring President Barthel. who troiv, the chair characterized their conduct as undignified. He was forced to pound repeatedly with his gravel to restore order. Immediately afterward the res olution was voted on. The "ayes" wei *> drowned out by a loud chorus of "nays." The meeting adjourned after Barthel had formally turned over the gavel to the new head of the bay section, George Frick. Many of the proposed amendments fn the bylaws of the association were put over until next year or referred to committees for further reports. A discussion on "Some Needed Re forms in Education" was directed bjr D. R. Jones previous to the business meeting. Mary W. George of the state normal school at San Jose during her talk on "Education for Service" mentioned The Call's Christmas eve festival, the burn ing of the hammer of knockery. "Much has been accomplished by the burning of the hammer," she said, "but the work is not yet finished. "vVe must get together." A. B. Anderson, superintendent of schools In San Rafael, talked on "Pos sible Adaptations Within the Present Curriculum." "Because a boy takes eighth year history it Is no sign he should take eighth year arithmetic.' , said Ander son. "All this will be provided for in time, and, while I'm not a prophet, I feel that when we try out a new syetem which permits adaptations it will suc ceed at once." Many of the school teachers left town Immediately after the adjournment, but many will remain over the weekend to complete shopping trips. Fiftieth Anniversary —Sarramento.
