Ex-Forester Dissmissedby Taft Is Unconcerned
While Politicians of Capital Are in a
Ferment of Expectation.

Associated Press.
Washington, .Tan. 8. —Gifford Pin
chot, chief forester of the United
States yesterday and private citizen
today, is apparently unconcerned and
smiling in great contrast to the polit
ical ferment in which Washington
finds itself. The summary dismissal
conveyed last night in-the president’s
letter in its closing lines, “by your
own aceord you have destroyed your
usefulness ns a helpful subordinate of
the government and it therefore now
becomes my duty'to direct the secre
tary of agriculture to remove you from
•your office as forester,’’ has brought
nothing from Pinchot, more than the
simple statement: “I prefer to say
Willing at this time.’’ but political
almost trembles to think
WC Jt may be the result.
g/l|inchot today, in the opinion of
|/My. becomes the pivot on which the
I' #' r S<'nt fight with the administration
[ Ml turn its gun“. The effects of Pin
loMd. who is a personal friend of Theo
?B»re Roos, velt and head champion of
Roosevelt conservation policies, be-
Tig ousted from the official family of
President Taft, is another phase of the
Jfonjoctures which fill the air together
Vnith the effect of Pinchot's dismissal
rnpon the congressional investigation of
Secretary Ballinger in the land office.
Within a fsw minutes after the
president instructed Secretary Wilson
to remove Pinchot from office, the or
der was carried out. Similar letters of
dismissal were sent at the same time
to Associate Forester Price and Assis*
ant law Officer Shaw, the two men
whom Pinchot defended in his letter to
Senator Dolliver, which was the cause,
or one of the contributing causes of
hi« dismissal.
Pinchot was at his office early this
morning and be promptly entered upon
the elosing up of his work and expect
cd to have a very busy day. T o all ap
peals for further statements regarding
his dismissal by Taft. Pinehot merelv
smiled his declination to contribute
further to the news on that subject.
Throughout the bureau of forestry
there is r. feeling of alarm as to what
will become of the organization which
has been to such a large degree the
work of the late chief forester.
George McCabe, solicitor of the agri
cultural department, called on Pinchot
in his office early in the day and pre
sented to him a letter from Secretary
Wilson, which designated McCabe as
acting forester. Albert Potter, assist
ant forester in the service, who had
been previously designated by the see !
retary to relieve Pinehot as forester,
being in the west, and not being able ;
to return before several days, it be-1
came necessary this morning to name,
some one else instead. Pinchot gave!
McCabe a hearty welcome and said he
was ready to turn over the bureau to!
him.
When the word was then being!
passed around that Pinchot was about*
to leave the building, scores of cm
plovcs who occupy the eight floors of!
the big office building in which the
bureau is located, gathered in the as
sembly room on the top floor. Pinchot
then met them, nis entrance being
signalized by deafening applause.

Rome, Jan. B.—Cardinal Satolli died
la. 4 o'clock this morning. The cardi

| titular bishop of Lepanto and canon of
Sf. John Lateran.
He represented the pope at the
World s Columbian exposition in Chi
cago. and was honored as the principal
guest of Chicago during his stay. The
recognition accorded him gave him his
great rpjiortunity— that of being npos
tolie delegate to this government at
Washington. He was often referred to
as “the American pope.’’ so great was
his -grasp of American affairs of the
church.
During the Spanish-Ameriean war. it

COST OF LIVING TOO HIGH
Characterizes Members of the

of Brainless Automatons.
Special Dispatch.
Toledo, 0., Jan. B.—Millionaire Bar
ber, founder of the Diamond Match

dicted a elash between labor and capi
; tai which will come as the result of
the increased cost of living. He says
। the people cannot long stand the in

Mr. Barber says the reason for the
high cost of living lies in the Con
tinued extortion from the people by the
railroads, the trusts and politicians.
Characterizing the members of the
senate and bouse as empty-headed auto
matons who obey their leaders, he paid
a tribute to the late President McKin
ley, who he said intended to reduce the
tariff when he died. Mr. Barber is a
distant relative of the dead president.
Better lawmakers, says Mr. Barber,

JURY CONVICTS
RANGEL; READY
TO FILE APPEAL
Conviction Said to Have Saved
Defendant From Extradition
Proceedings In District Court.
OTHER INSURGENT CASES
Guillermo Adan Released Af
ter Spending Several Months
In Jail —Arajua Still In Toils.
In the case of Jose M. Rangel,
charged with a violation of the neutral
ity laws of the United States, which
has been ou trial in tho federal court
during the past three days, a jury in
that court yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock brought in a verdiet of guilty.
Judge Maxey announced that he would
defer sentence for a few days. It is
also announced that an appeal will be
taken from tho finding of the jury
from the fact that the verdict of the
jury was unreasonable, inasmuch as
there was no evidence to show that
Rangel had conspired or organized an
expedition in this country to invade
Mexico and that the jury did not fol
low the instructions of the court in
that respect.
Don Bliss, attorney for Rangel, is
now at work in drawing up the appeal
and as soon as sentence is passed on
him by Judge Maxey, notice of appeal
will be given to the circuit federal
court at New Orleans.
It was learned this morning that
Sheriff Lindsey yesterday, when tho
jury in the Rangel came in. was ready
to serve extradition papers on the de
fendant in case he was acquitted. The
papers were signed by Judge Seeligson
Jan. 6.
Among the eases heard this morning
in the federal court were those of
Guillermo Adan and Antonio Araujo,
charged with a violation of the neutral
ity laws of the United States. Adan
had been in the county jail during the
past fifteen months and on the state
ment made by the district attorney that
the government did not have a suffi
cient case against him. Judge Maxey
dismissed him from custody.
It was alleged that Adan iflade his
escape after the fight between the
revolutionists and the Mexican troops
at Las Vacas in 1908 and made his way
to the border, where he was arrested
by the immigration officers. He was
later released by the authorities and
was rearrested by a United States
deputy marshal and fllaced in the
county jail on a charge of violating the
neutrality laws.
When the case of Antonio Araujo
was called for trial, Judge Maxey stat
ed that he thought the defendant had
been punished enough and was willing
to discharge him from custody, but
United States District Attorney Boyn
ton would not consent to this and the
prisoner was remanded to jail. Follow
ing the action ou the eases named, the
jury was excused until 2 o’clock this
afternoon when it is expected that sev
eral pleas of guilty will be entered ini

dicted by the grand jury.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SPEAK ENGLISH
An appreciation of the hospitality of the people of San Antonio
and of the modern and beautiful city was voiced by Gov. Jesus del
Valle, of the state of Coahuila. Mexico, todav when he said
"1 wish to express my thanks through the Light and Gazette
to the citizens of San Antonio who have made my stay in this city
so very pleasant, especially Mayor Bryan Callaghan, Gen. Albert L.
Myer and Judge Kelso and the International club. I wish to com
pliment the American army upon the fine appearance of her soldiers
and the lively marching and perfect discipline I noted upon my
visit to the fort this morning; also upon the modern and up-to-date
equipment and rifles. The quarters were immaculate, for several
times I saw officers rub their white gloves over places where the
slightest dust would have soiled them without finding the slightest
particle or speck.
“When the band struck up the national hymn of Mexico it made
me feel a deep emotion and affection, more so hearing it in a foreign
land. Even at home it always makes the pulse of every Mexican
heart beat faster and hearing it at Fort Sam Houston was the high
est compliment indeed.
“I have noticed the great activity of San Antonio along com
! tnercial lines and it shows to be a modern up-to-date city in every
respect. The beautiful trees and parks and grand and stately resi
dences all have struck me and this with the cleanliness of the streets
and the wonderful climate, makes San Antonio an ideal spot. This
visit, I hope, will be the means of fostering a closer relation between
the people of Texas and my people, both socially and commercially.
We are making a specialty of teaching English in our schools to
stimulate this condition and will offer every opportunity to invite
American capital into the state of Coahuila.”
THOUGH NOT WELL
GOVERNOR IS SMILING
This is a word picture of the man
who is dominating the public eye today
in San Antonio:
Governor Jesus del Valle of Coahuila
i is a well educated, polished gentleman
who is very kind and affable, treating
everyone with the utmost considera
tion. Although not feeling especially
well this morning, as was stated by
several members of the party, he never
once betrayed a sign of being tired,
bored or any wish that might have
been taken by his friends as a desire
to not participate further in the enter
tainment proffered them.
He paid the closest attention to what
was happening at Fort Sam Houston
and made several complimentary com
ments about the appearance and cli
mate of the city while going to and
from the post. When at Del Rio he ex
pressed a wish that all entertainment
for him while in San Antonio be can
celled a« he did not feel well enough
to participate in another round of func
tions as tendered him at that place,
hut since his arrival here be has ex
pressed himself as feeling considerably
improved and thoroughly enjoyed his
visit to Fort Sant Houston, as express
ed by him in his interview to a Light
and Gazette reporter.
The governor, without being tall, is
of a commanding presence. His voice
is musical and he is courtesy itself. Hit
manners would grace a court.

k When the governor was asked what
policy his government would follow in
regard to the further inducements held
ent to American capital in Mexico and
the attitude of his government towards
the development of his state by Amer
ican capital, he said:
“The attitude of the present govern
ment of the state of Coahuila, Mexico,
is most favorable towards foreign cap
italists and especially American capi
talists. We will give the greatest en
couragement to induce capital from the
United States to come into the state of
Coahuila to develop all branches of in
dustry. this especially in making con
cessions to promoters who wish to de
velop the mining, manufacturing, agri
cultural. smelting and stock raising in
dustry.
.Exempt Foreigners From Taxation.
“Wo will exempt from taxation for a
certain period of years foreign capital.
All they have to do is to make one ap
plication to the congress for this ex
emption and it will be acted upon im
mediately.
“We are now developing the teaching
of English in the schools of Coahuila
and the normal college of Coahuila
alone has an expense of $lOO,OOO a year
fcr the teaching of English’ tranches.
In .cnncetion with this the English
language is being taught in all other
schools throughout the state. The idea
of doing this is to increase the friend
ship between the United States and
Mexico and make this easy of access by
the people of the one country being
able to converse and carry on commer
cial interests and projects in the Eng
lish language.
“Texas being the neighbor state to
:ny state, it naturally follows that I
am anxious that this condition be
brought about as rapidly as possdUe
and ! hope this visit will be the fore
cuuner of a great friendship that has
already taken root. This friendship
will stimulate our trade relations an 1
will result in mutual benefits. While at
