DEVLIN READY
WITH ANSWER
TO DR. PERRIN
Senatorial Inquiry Believed to
Be Inspired Attack on
Burns and Heney
Assistant U. S- Attorney Black
Says Perjury Was Not Rea»
"* son for New Trial
Attorney General's Deputy Will
Report on Investigation
Made on Coast
Neither the United States district at-
torney's office nor William J. Burns is
disturbed over the senatorial inquiry
Into the trial and conviction of Dr. E.
B. Perrin in connection with the land
fraud cases. In some quarters there is
a disposition to attribute the activity
In behalf of Perrin to Patrick Calhoun
and others wlro have endeavored to
rabarrass Heney and Burns in the
graft prosecution. In other quarters
it is believed that Perrin has been able
to enlist the sympathy of Senators
Borah and Tillman. who emerged some
what tarred from their association with
land operators.
In dispatches sent out from "Wash
ington it has been stated that the re
ari>ointr.:cnt of Robert T. Devlin as
Cnlted States dinrict attorney has been
held up pending an investigation by the
judiciary '\u25a0ommittee of the senate.
Charges Filed by Perrin
The charge* which Perrin has filed
rre to t^e offe<*t that' his indictment
was forced by William J. Burns and
that his conviction was obtained
through perjured testimony given by
Charles P. Snell. Devlin !ias gone to
Washington to appear before the sen
atp committee.
Included in Perrin's statements is
tho charge that President Roosevelt
desired bis 'lndictment in the expecta
tion of implicating the late. Senator
Morgan. A report on the whole mat
ter has been made to the attorney
genera! by WiHiam P. Harr. one of his
deputies, who came to the coast for
the purpose of looking into the matter.
It appears that the prosecution of
Perrin was conducted by ABelstant
United States Attorney A. P. Black.
Perrin has been granted a new trial
by the United States circuit court and
v i? now out on bail. He was tried joint
ly with John A. Benson. In the case of
Benson the appeal was denied.
Black Does Not Worry
Black referred yesterday to the
record in the case to uphold his posi
tion.
"I am not worrying about the Per
rin case," said Black. "I did what I
regarded as my duty and what I still
hold to have been my duty. The
. c.&ff was referred to me by Mr. Devlin.
I believed that Perrin had committed
. an act that warranted an indictment.
I placed the matter before the grand
jury. He was indicted. 1 then pro
<-eede.d to prosecute as 1 would any
other «-aes.
"Evidently the jury thought the
prosecution warranted, as it brought
-in a verdict of guilty. The new trial
was ordered by the circuit court of
appeals, -not, as has been stated, be
cause it. believed there had* been per
jury, but because it held that Judge
de Haven had erred in not admitting
into the ' evidence certain contracts.
The court was divided 2 to 1, with
Judjsre de Haven's o_pinion making it
Burns Little Concerned
"Mr. Burns had very little to do with
the cape. I don't believe we had more
than 15 minutes' conversation over the
matter. He came into the office one
Oay and said that he had heard that
•Benson and Perrin had been gathering
A^- jrood deal of land by 'fraud. He
stated that a man named Snell could
t*H us about it. One day Snell came
. Into the office. He was either Intro
duced by Mr. Burns or had a letter
from him. I heard Snell's story and
had him commit it to writing. I spent
about six months working out the'de
tails in order to familiarize myself
with the case.
•I am satisfied that this office did its
duty . The contract between Benson
and Perrin is in itself illegal. By Its
terms Perrin undertook to_ provide ap
plicants for land which he intended
to get for himself. Under the law this
in itself is a fraud upon the govern
ment, for an applicant must make
sworn affidavit that he wants the land
for his own use. Each such applicant
is limited to €40 acres, while Perrin
set out to get a tract of 12,000 acres.
Wrong Addresses Given
"In court we produced the applica
tion blanks signed by persons who
were not to be found at the addresses
given. It was testified that some of
the 'addresses were vacant lots. In
one instance an application had been
filed under the name of Samuel D.
Brewer, the address being given as 709
Capp street. That was the address of
pfcy £ues, a special examiner of the
pew'ion bureau, and he . ' testified In
court that no such person as Brewer
had lived there. \u25a0

SCHWERIN HAS
NEW HOPE FORE
PANAMA LINE
Federal Officials to Discuss Rate
Question With the Pacific
. Mail Chiefs
Corporation's General Manager
Angered at San Francisco's
Fight for Fair Tariff •'
R. P. Schwerin, general manager *of
the. Pacific - Mail steamship, lines, re
turned'from New York and Washington
last night with harsh words for the at
titude of the people of San Francisco
and with new hope for the .continuance
of the Panama service of his corpora
tion.
"The question of a new understanding
between the government and the Pa
cific Mail as to the division of rates
will be taken up August 1 by the traf
fic officials of our compsfny and the of
ficials of the Panama railroad. Their
conclusion will be embodied in a report
to Secretary Dickinson of the war de
partment. If he approves, we will
continue service. If lie 'disapproves, we
will be compelled to give it up.
"In case the Pacific Mail... company
abandons the Panama ' service there
will be three alternatives — r-either get
some other 'sucker' to take it up, let
the government charter shin/;,' or : - give
it up altogether. I use the word 'suck
er' advisedly, for what any one
would be to try it. Under existing
conditions it can not be made, to pay. 1
believe I can run things. on as econom
ical basis as is practical, and I know
that the heavy charges and costs 'eat
up more than we can get out of the
flat* 40 cent rate' now in force. .. '
Schwerin on "High Horse"
• "And the people do not seem to care.
I notice that the newspapers even go
so far as to say. that it would be a good
thing if the Pacific Mail ships were laid
up. Is that the attitude to take? That's
what we get in San Francisco. "Why,
our company spends more" money in this
city thin any other corporation. • From
April IS, 1906. to November. 1907, in a
period, of a little over 18 months, we
spent $7,000,000 in San Francisco. ' We
buy all ourprovisions here. This is our
headquarters. And what do we get for
it? What does anybody get who tries
to keep the flag on the seas? Helpful
San Francisco."
And 'there was scorn in his^tone and
a smile on his lips as he repeated the
phrase "Helpful San Francisco."
Taking his cue from his own works,
he answered a .question as to the so
lution of the troublesome detention
shed problem. , •.
"Nothing was done about that," he
said. "We are not to have Angel isl
and yet awhile," he added, "and for
that we, must- thank Mr. Wheeler, our
former assistant secretary of commerce
•and labor. He's a San Franciscan."
And then Schwerin repeated, "Helpful
San Francisco."
Returning to the affairs of the Pa
cific Mail, Schwerin said that he had
left 'Washington intending to discon
tinue the Panama service after August
12. >V< Chicago he received a message
from Secretary Dickinson asking him
to. extend the time 60 days.
"I did not want to embarrass the
government," continued Schwerin, "and
so I agreed that the matter should be
taken up by the traffic officials of the
Pacific Mail and Panama line.
Competition to Isthmus
"It is not as It used to be," he con
tinued. "Time was that we had almost
no opposition. Now there Is the Kos
mos line, which uses both Panama and
Tehuantepec. The American-Hawaiian
company has an exclusive arrangement
With the Tehuantepec road. No other
company can use the railroad :for
American freight. These are the condi
tions with which we have to contend."
Under the present arrangement the
government and the Pacific Mail divide
the, rate, equally, that is, on a cargo
from San -Francisco, to New York, the
Pacific Mall receives half the rate for
the haul down the coast, and the gov
ernment the other half for the haul
across the isthmus and v up the Atlantic
coast.
Schwerin did not speak hopefully of
the results -to be attained by the com
pletion of the Panama canal. .
"It will cost something like' $19,000
in tolls for a 12.000 ton steamship like
those of the American-Hawaiian com
pany for the round-trip. That repre
sents about $6 on 3,000 tons of freight."
\u25a0 - The steamship magnate spoke hope
fully of business conditions generally,
but 'for the shipping: industry he could
observe only dark.hued clouds.' - f'.;;

Marin county, saved aP-little child from
serious injury- at her- hQjne" here today

with- a 22 caliber^rifle. '
"< Miss Burnley is entertaining as her
guest her sister. Mrs. Arthur Minor of
Richmond, Va.-- Thia morning Mrs.
Minor's daughter Alice, aged 3, was
playing' with some young chickens in
the^ rear of the Burnley residence. The
little:' girl had been feeding, the chicks
with^ bread .crumbs, and-thlnklng that
slie^was safely occupied her mother left
. Shortly afterward \ Mrs. . Minor and
Miss Burnley were startled by the cries
of *tfi"e child. • Uncertain: of what dan
ger « the . little, one . might ' be in. Miss
JBurnley seized her* rifle from its place
in, the rear hall and 'hurried to the
back of : the .house.-. At, first she was
unable to .find the.- child, .but its cries
finally .directed her" to a' high fence
which inclosed the chicken yard. The
little girl had crawled through a small
hole in the fence, and. as ( the door was
locked, Miss Burnley could not enter.
~'Just as she was about •: to climb the;
paling the plucky girl. observed a large;
hawk. circling over, the yard? , Hhe took !
aim. and as -the bird -swooped down
ward she fired. Meanwhile Mrs. Minor ;
had,procjjred the key. to the inclo3ure
and' when the door was opened she
found the child lying upon the ground
with "its little face bleeding, from sev
