POKES FUN AT FORESTERS
Iepicts Tbem lolling Around Hotels
. In Green Uniforms Objects to
the Exportation of Lumber
From Idaho Forests.
WASHINGTON. May 5. Suggesting
an amendment excepting Idaho from
states In which the Secretary of Agri
culture may give permits for the ex
portation of timber from forest re
serves, Heyburn, during the debate on
the agricultural appropriation bill in
the Senate 'today, ridiculed a chart of
the forestry division which was swung
on the wall c-f the Senate chamber,
marked with statements as to the num
ber of years the forests in various
parts of the country would last.
The forestry division, he said, was
launching into the realm of prophecy
in a way that would require greater
wisdom than that possessed by the
sages of old, when it declared that a
certain section would be shorn of Its
forests in twenty, thirty or forty
years. They forget, he said, that tim
ber grows, and he declared that "the
supply of timber Is as great today as
ever in the world's history." There
was, he said, no danger of a timber
famine.
Calls Smoot a Prophet.
""moot, taking exception to the state
ment that the world's supply of tim
ber was as great as ever, Heyburn re
torted that the Senator from Utah
might consult the map on the Senate
wall as a1 guide, as he possessed "a
spirit of prophecy which he, (Hey
burn) did not possess.
"I can prove," retorted Smoot, "not
by prophecy, but by absolute figures,
that the timber of this country is being
destroyed rapidly and that there Is not
anything like the amount of timber In
this country that there was 20 or even
10 years ago."
Heyburn said he objected to the Gov
ernment setting up a lumber yard and
selling timber. He had once read a
vivid description of the emotions of
Adam on seeing the sun go down, not
knowing that It would ever rise again.
That reminded him of the feeling of
some people about the forests who did
not know that the forests would grow
again.
Would Forbid Sale of Timber.
Burkett of Nebraska wanted to know
if the Senator from Idaho wished to
apply to all states with forest re
serves the prohibition from exporting
lumber from such states. Heyburn
said he did desire to prevent the Gov
ernment from selling Umber In any
state.
Heading from an opinion of the Su
preme Court of the United States, Hey
burn declared that "there is no hys
teria In that branch of the Govern
ment: there are no brainstorms there."
The foresters, he said, are being sup
piled with splendid yachts, so they can
speed from one Imaginary Are to
another along the lakes of Idaho.
Foresters Gay Uniforms.
"I have seen them,'' he said, 'lolling
around the hotels of the watering
places dressed in green with cocked
hats, emulating the foresters of the
Black Forest of Germany. They have
those uniforms of pale green so they
may not be taken for a duck or some
animal, and so that they can slip, up on
the trespassers who come there to de
stroy these forests. The whole thing
has become ridiculous." v
Heyburn. reading rrom a oocument
concerning expenses of the forest re
serve, criticised statements of ex
penses as indefinite.
Smoot, holding a voluminous manu
script, said, if the Senator would refer
to any Item of expense, he would give
nlm the details.
Clark of Wyoming said that Con
gress had sent for the information and
the Department had not sent It. He
wanted to know how tne Senator from
iTtah had become the mouthpiece of the
Department.
Vaiits Department to lteport-
Heyburn said that it was singular
that the Senator from Utah had under
taken to answer questions for the De
partment that congress Tina fruitlessly
asked the Department to give.
Smoot again offering the information,
Heyburn retorted:
"I do not Intend to recognize the
Senator as the representative here or
the Department of Agriculture, which
is under the control of Congress. There
is no report from the Department in
accordance with the provision, of the
last appropriation bill."
Mr. Heyburn read the names of of
ficers of the American Forestry Asso
ciation, declaring that Mr. Weyer
hauser. the second vice-president,
owned or claimed more timber unlaw
fully obtained than any other man on
earth.
The Senate adjourned with the agri
cultural bill still incomplete and the
forestry question undisposed of.

MARSHFIELD, Or., May 6. (Special.)
The passenger service to Bandon,.
Coos County,. Or., has been greatly
changed by the introduction of a fast
boat on the Coquille River. Bandon, lo
cated as It la at the mouth of the Co
quille, has heretofore only been reached
by slow boats, so that an entire day was
consumed in making the trip from Coos
Bay to the little city by the sea. The
new gasoline launch "Wolverine" has Just
been put In service. At Coquille City It
meets the morning train from Marshfleld
and makes the river trip In two hours.
The fast service it Is expected will do
much to advance the business interests
of Bandon, and will be of great benefit
to the smaller towns farther inland.
The Wolverine was built at Max Lln

NO INQUIRY INTO MINES
Underwood Comc9 to Rescue When
Tawncy Is Cornered Republicans
Turn Democratic Filibuster
Against lis Authors. .
WASHINGTON, May 5. A lively debate
was kept up all day today In the House
on the sundry civil appropriation bill.
Repeated efforts were made by Gaines of
Tennessee and Chaney of Indiana, sup
ported by many other members, to pro
cure an appropriation for an investiga
tion looking to increased safety In mining,
and they had about got Chairman Tawney
to the point where he would consent to
an appropriation of toO.OOO when Under
wood objected, and the proposition,, for
the time- at least, was dropped.
A provision in the bill for the purchase
of over 6000 acres of land as an addition
to Fort McKinley. Philippine Islands,
based on a recommendation by General
Leonard Wood, excited severe criticism of
that officer by Fitzgerald of New York
and Battler of Pennsylvania, the former
continually referring to him as "Dr.
Wood." The provision, on motion of Hay
of Virginia, was stricken out by unani
mous vote.
Joke on the Democrats.
The additions to the bill today were
J100.000 for the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth. Kan., and $16,500 for an ad
dition to Fort Oglethorpe. Ga., or a total
increase to date of tl.241,000.
The three remaining hours of the ses
sion were taken up almost entirely by a
discussion of rollcalls, caused by a re
fusal of the House to take a recess at
5 o'clock as a result of a Joke on the
part of some Republicans who were
trying to hold the Democrats In the
House until the time the Republican
caucus was scheduled to be held. In this
they were successful, the House finally
at 7:47 P. M. recessing until 11:55 A. M.
tomorrow.
Smith Accuses His Critics.
At the instance of Smith of California
there was read a series of resolu
tions adopted by the Chamber of Com
merce of Los Angeles, denouncing him
for having made "unfair and untruth
ful" statements In Congress regarding
Owens River water rights, and charging
him with having assumed "a hostile and
malicious" opposition to the Forestry
Bureau, and particularly its head, Gifford
PinchoU
Rising to a question of high personal
privilege. Smith declared that his
position with respect to the Forestry Ser
vice did not Interfere with the city of Los
Angeles acquiring a proper water supply,
which he admitted the city needed. He
said that his only object had been to
protect from confiscation by the city of
Los Angeles the water right of some
farmers.
Money Lost on Ti miter Land.
Hitchcock of Nebraska charged that the
Government had been cheated out of no
less than $57,000,000 by the sale by the In
terior Department of 8.000,000 acres of
timber and stone land at the minimum
price.
Mondall of Wyoming said that, while
much of the land had become very valu
able since passing into private owner
ship, it was ydoubtful whether any large
portion of it was worth more than the
minimum price at the time of its sale
by the Government.

TELLS OF
E
ELLIOTT'S AFFIDAVIT REGARD-
4
ING WILLIAMSON ATTACKS.
Smith and His Son Plead Not Guilty
to Charges Elliott. Not Re
quired to Plead.
PRrNJEVILLH. Or., May 5. (Special.)
Ex-Sheriff C. Sam Smith, and his son,
Stanley, pleaded not guilty this morning
to the charges against them when ar
raigned In court. Larkin Elliott, their
alleged accomplice, was not asked to
plead. Judge Bradshaw set Smith's trial
for tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. It
Is probable that there will be some dif
ficulty in securing a Jury, since it is the
announced intention not to have any
cattle or sheep men upon it.
Larkin Elliott's affidavit, covering the
story of the alleged crimes that have been
committed recently, in which he and
Smith were supposed to be Implicated,
consists of three typewritten pages, and
recites the tale of the setting fire to the
barn and sheep-shearing plant on the
property owned by ex-Congressman
Williamson. According to the affidavit,
Elliott and Smith rode to this, property
with bottles of coal oil in their pockets,
and this they used to start the fire.
A few days after this, Elliott says they
mixed up .some salt with squirrel poison
and concentrated lye, and took it to the
sheep-shearing plant and sprinkled It on
the ground where the sheep would get
It. Next, the affidavit states, Elliott,
Shiith and Smith's son went to a prop
erty leased by Williamson and cut about
a mile of barbed wire fence.
The culmination of the attacks on Wil
liamson was to have been the dynamit
ing of Williamson's house in Prineville,
according to the affidavit. Elliott says
that Smith proposed this, saying that
It would be easy to place the powder
under the house. Elliott says that he
refused to have anything to do with
this plot.
Sentiment in the community here is di
vided over the affair.
B. C. KINGSBURY IS DEAD
Well-Known Mining Man Leaves a
Fortune of Million.
SPOKANE. Wash.. May 5. (Special. )
B. C. Kingsbury, aged 73 years, a capi
talist whose mining properties are located
in nearly every state and territory in
the West, died today at the family resi
dence. Mr. Kingsbury's fortune is close
to a million, his relatives say. He is un
married, but a niece and nephews proba
bly will fall heir to the fortune. Mr.
Kingsbury mined in the Comstoek 40
years ago, made fortunes in Butte. Mont.:
Rossland. B. C; Republic, Wash., and
was a heavy holder in the Furnace Creek
copper mines, in Nevada. He was for
years a partner in many mining ven

The boat Is 56 feet long, with 10 feet
beam, and carries 75 passengers. It is of
an original type, and is said to be the
finest gasoline launch ever turned out on
Coos Bay. It Is fitted- with a 50-horse-
power Wolverine engine, and has a speed
far beyond anything ever on the waters
of the Coquille River. The Wolverine
was christened by -Miss May Peterson,
well-known Marshfleld girl.
It was necessary to take the little boat
to sea to make the trip from Coos Bay to
the Coquille River, and the run attracted
much attention, as It was built for river
rather than open sea work. A party of
Marshfleld men, including Mayor Straw,
were taken on the trip, and, although a
heavy sea was encountered, the Bandon
port- was reached safely. Hundreds of
the Bandon people gathered at the docks
to receive the new boat and entertained
the Coos Bay visitors.

PARTY LINES NOT DRAWN
Leading Citizens of All Political
Faiths Will Discuss Methods of
Conserving the Natural Re
sornces of the Nation.
WASHINGTON, May 5. The coming
conference of governors at the White
House promises to be a great love feast.
at which men of the greatest divergence
of views on politics and other questions
will Join in a mighty chorus in behalf
of the conservation of natural resources.
Those who are in close touch with the
conference arrangements declare they
have never known another movement
which has been greeted with such, quick
and enthusiastic popular approval.
An indication of public opinion is
afforded by the great mass of corres
pondence which Is pouring Into the White
House on this subject. Organizations of
all sorts express a realization of the
greatness of the enterprise, and request
that they be given representation by del
egates. Individuals In great numbers are
sending requests that they be allowed to
attend In their private capacity. These
letters are becoming of such volume that
the stenographers at the White House
are working-overtime, and Secretary Loeb
fears that he will ultimately be driven
to the necessity of providing a circular
letter, which can be mailed to all per
sons and organizations making applica
tion. Information is constantly received, too,
that tourists from all parts of the coun
try are planning to be in Washington at
the time of the conference, in the hope
that they may attend at least a part of
the proceedings. Because of tho limited
capacity of the east room, all such or
ganizations and individuals are neces
sarily meeting with disappointment. None
can be. admitted except those provided
for In the invitation- list, and the press.
Party Lines Not Drawn.
That conservation of National resources
Is nothing about which the political par
ties wish to raise an issue is indicated
by the attitude of the Democratic lead
ers. Both William Jennings Bryan and
Governor John A. Johnson, leading can
didates for the Democratic Presidential
nomination, have written to President
Roosevelt expressing their approval.
Equally emphatic endorsement, it is un
derstood, has been voiced by Grover
Cleveland. Mr. Bryan's letter to the
President reads: .
"I greatly appreciate your kind invita
tion and shall take pleasure in attending
the conference on the conservation of
natural resources. I am. i beg to assure
you, in hearty sympathy with the pur
pose of the conference, and I have no
doubt that the discussion of the subject
will be very helpful to us all."
Governor Johnson's letter reads: "To
assure you that I heartily agree with
your conclusion that the conservation of
the natural resources of our country pre
sents a problem demanding the best
thought of our times Is superfluous. We
have been exploiting our resources with
no thought of the morrow, and the claims
of posterity upon us should certainly be
taken into account."
Purpose Is Approved.
All of the fifty National organizations
which will be represented by delegates
have expressed approval of the purpose
of the conference, and nothing but ap
proval is voiced In the letters from me
governors. And now chambers of com
merce and boards of trade throughout
the country are adopting resolutions
commending the President's course and
advocating a policy or prudent conserva
tion. The lead in this movement has
been taken by the Pittsburg Chamber of
Commerce. The t'ittsburg resolutions call
upon the Governor of Pennsylvania and
the members of the Pennsy.vania Con
gressional delegation to attend the con
ference. Many other commercial organizations,
following this example, are urging the
Governors and Congressional delegations
of their State to attend the conference
and to lose no chance of boosting the
conservative movement.
The Harrisburg Board of Trade in
its resolution expresses that belief
that no more Important conference
than this has been called since the
memorable one which met in Philadel
phia In 1787 and drafted the Constitu
tion under which ' the United States
has attained such predominant posi
tion." Help Newer States.
The Commercial Club of Grand
Forks, North Dakota, sees in the con
ference special help for newer parts
of the country. Its resolutions say:
"It feels that the subject is one of
great Importance to the entire coun
try, and particularly to the- newer
states where a vast natural wealth
exists that yet awaits exploitation."
The Baltimore Board of Trade refers
in its resolutions specifically to Its de
sire to have the scenic and economic
resources of Niagara Falls conserved
under disinterested control, and also
to the desire that there shall be public
control of the White and Appalachian
mountains. Accordingly it "most
heartily endorses this project for a
better and more beautiful America.
as well as many other useful and pa
triotic! ideas in the President's recom
mendation." The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers has adopted strong resolu
tions of endorsement. The Rochester
Chamber of Commerce commends the
movement, and so the resolutions run.
from Philadelphia to far-off Cheyenne,
Wyoming. By the time the confer
ence meets, according to the present
outlook, so many endorsements will
have been given that the momentum
will not only continue through the
days of the meeting, but will extend
far beyond.
Pittsburg Sees Light.
The Pittsburg resolutions are not
able for their vigorous exposition of
the problem of natural resources.
They refer to Pittsburg's own trou
bles with floods and to its dependence
upon the mineral resources of the
country. The resolutions thus outline
the issue. In part: "Scientists and
practical experts, after long investi
gation and study of the natural re
