ONLY FEW AT WASHINGTON Keal Workers for Benefit or Nation's Timber Resources Quit Life of Ease at Capitol and Try Hard Work. WASHINGTON. Juno 27. Following the tnovem.-nt of the larger part of the ex ecutive force of the forest service from j "WashinKton into the field, and the divi- elon of the western country into six ' forest districts, each In charge of a dis- -4 trlct forester, the practical management of Uncle Sam's forests on a business basis is being pushed forward even more effectively than heretofore. Only the gen ( eral administrative heads of the serv- Ice. and the men engaged in Government i forestry work in the eastern part of the ' country retain their headquarters in "Washington. 1 For the better administration of the 194.VO.ooo acres of National forest land, , this vaot territory Is divided into 149 Na- tlonal forests, each In charge of a forest supervisor. In all cases, the supervisor Is selected for his wide practical knowl edge of the 'West, and of lumbering and grazing particularly. He may or may not be a trained forester; If not he has such a man to assist him. It is the business . of the forest supervisor and his technical aids to bring their forest gradually to a condition of maximum productiveness. To do this requires a great deal of detailed study and skillful planning. Each step, 1 from the care and protection of the young growth to the lumbering of the mature forest, must be carefully con sidered and as o&refully executed, If the forest is to go on producing trees In- definitely. Specialists Are Needed. For each of the many lines of work to carried on in the forest, men with sna- clal experience are required. Those who prepare and tend the nurseries must be experienced in raising and caring for young trees. The lumberman, who cruises and estimates timber, helps to plan log ging operations and sees that the scaling is correctly done and that the rules for logging are properly observed, must be an experienced and capable woodsman. The forest ranger patrols his district of the forest to see that fire and trespass are prevented, that the range Is not over grazed, that logging regulations are en forced, and that the privileger granted by permit for the use of the various forest resources are not abused; he also must be hard-headed, practical and thoroughly honest: an able-bodied citizen of the "West, with plenty of experience in all the problems with which he may have to deal. The trained foresters are usually forest school graduates. Their training is some what parallel to that of the civil engineer, but particular attention is paid to the study of botany, to the life and growth of forests, and to all that affects their development and usefulness. In addition to his scte.ntl.fla training, the American trained forester must have abundant practical experience in the woods, on the range ana In the mills, for he must have a, thorough understanding of all condi tions before atemptlng to work out a system of good business management of any forest. For the general administration of the National forests, the western half of the Ignited elates Is divided into six districts with headquarters at Missoula, Mon.; IX-nver, Colo.; Albuquerque, N. M.; Ogden, Utah; San Francisco, CM., and I'ortland, Or. Give All Object Lessons. The object of the Forest Service Is to fomer proper use of the forest resources of the country, including private and state a well as National forests. Upon the latter every resource is for use in the best interests of all citizens of the United States. Every waterpower site, every piece of mineral land, every bit of grac ing land or of good agricultural land is for use, provided it is not required for rubllo purposes. The remainder of the land which is forest is of course put to the best use by the practice of forestry when it is made to produce as much tim ber as possible. In order that the Admin istration may be most effective, the va rious offices have been established at "Washington and at the' district .headquar ters, each In charge of trained and ex perienced men directing specialized lines of work. The office of operation attends in each district to the protection and administra tion of the National forests and employs engineers, expert miners and foresters to Investigate claims, make surveys and maps and supervise the building of tele phone lines, trails, roads, bridges, ranger stations and other permanent Improve ments. The office of gracing looks after the range, co-operates in the enforcement of quarantine regulations and issues per mits by which the grazing of stock with in each National forest is so regulated as to improve rather than destroy its grazing capacity. It studies the"V best means of reseedlng the range and Con ducts investigations end devises means of checking the growth of poisonous Tlants which are injurious to livestock. The office of silviculture makes a spe. clal study of the management of tim bered land9 in order to make them yield the largest permanent returns. It makes timber sales on the National forests, plants trees on bare National forest land, makes estimates and forest working plans'. Investigates forest conditions and ali problems connected with the life and growth of trees, and gives advice where possible to private parties who are in terested in similar lines of work. Production Also Watched. The work of the office of products is the determination of all ways and means possible for utilizing wood and timber, in order to make the business of forestry both economical and profitable. Markets and wood-using industries everywhere are being investigated, statistics of forest products are being collected and the com i paratlve strength of building timbers with reference to their use for various pur poses is, being determined by accurate scientific tests. The oftieo of products also makes a study of the . best ways of preserving timber and co-operatea with private tel ephone companies, railroads and other timber-using Interests in determining the best methods applicable in each case. Ex perimental treating plants for this pur- pose are being established throughout the country. In short, the Forest Service Is endea voring to bring about the practice of true forestry "the preservation of forests by wise use." And the keynote of the entire service, the, watchword of each member. i PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL COTTON CONGRESS. MONTE NE, Ark., June 27 (Special.) The third annual meeting of - the National Cotton Congress Is now in session in this city. C. J. Barrow, president, cailed the congress to order. The session will continue six days. The work of the congress will be largely informal the exchange of views on trade and crops and there will be oharaoteristio amusements, such as hay rides to the palisades on the "White River and an old-fashioned dance with music by Arkansas fiddlers. John D. Walker, of Sparta, Ga., will de liver the principal address. His subject wdll be ""Cotton and Bank ing." Mr. Walker owns a plan tation of 750O acres in Georgia, and is president of 25 banks. from the chief down to th forest guard. Is conservation th devotion of every re source to th best possible use, and the preservation of all renewable resources for the use of future generations. UNITED STATES TIME. Wonderful Clocks Flash Noon Over 900,000 Allies of Wire. Washington Corr. New Tork Sun. A few minutes before 12 o'clock noon every day in the year a young man walks Into a certain room of the main building at the Naval Observatory, which is Bet up on a hill in the northwestern part of the District of Columbia. He glances at the various clocks in the room and then goes over to a table which is covered with electric apparatus. He watches the clocks to his left closely and waits for the hands to reach five minutes to 12. As the second hand ap proaches the 60 on the dial he prepares to shift a switch. The clock is so finely adjusted that when the second hand points to 60 it exactly marks the begin ning of a new minute. As it touches the 60 the switches are thrown on. That starts a signal that goes out instantaneously over 900,000 miles of telegraph lines. In Washington, New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Newport. BaltU more, Newport News, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, Key West, Galveston, Chi cago and elsewhere the time balls go up on their poles. People know that it is five minutes before noon, Washington time. The clock which keeps the time in the observatory ticks on. With each tick there is a contact of electric paints. A circuit is closed and an instrument on the table ulmilar in appearance to a tele graph sounder ticks away loudly. It goes on to the 29th second, then skips one tick, then resumes its steady sound ing until the last live seconds, then there is another gap. These gaps are for the purpose of giving listeners at other ends of the great system of wires a chance to know what part of the minute the clock is on. So It goes up to the last minute. At the 29th second there is again the skipping of one second. Finally the clock gets around to the 60th second. The the circuit remains open for ten seconds. There is silence all along the telegraph wires. At the other ends, where there are time balls or merely train operators, the long pause indicates that noon Is almost there. The second hand makes on toward 60 and finally reaches the mark. Then there is another click, in about a second the Bounder is down and that tells hundreds of thousands of people that it is noon in Washington, that the Naval Observatory says so, and that the Naval Observatory is now one of the best time-keeping Insti tutions in the United States. It Is a wonderful operation, this getting the ttme, and highly technical. Finely adjusted clocks, chronographs and other instruments of great value are used, and the taking and recording of the time has reached a point where the human equa tion is practically eliminated. The results obtained are of great value, particularly to mariners. The time1 is not only flashed to hundreds of points in the United States, but it is sent far out to sea by wireless. A cable carries the flash to Havana, another sends it down to Panama and Callao, Peru. The mean time is determined by as tronomical observations. When certain stars pass the 75th meridian, called the meridian of Washington, It is a certain ttme. The operator watches for the stars through a telescope, the field of which is covered with fine wires. As the stars reach a certain noint In transit the operator presses a key in his hand. A contact is made and recorded on a chronograph. The chronograph con sists of a cylinder covered with paper. A fountain pen rests on the paper. It is held by an arm attached to the mechan ism. The cylinder revolves once a minute and the pen moves along the surface of the paper, making a spiral line. A sidereal clock of the finest make Is running in a vault underneath the ob servatory. With each tick of the clock there is a contact of two points. These two points are attached to wires that lead to an electro-magnet attached to the arm and holds the pen of the chrono graph. The clock is so adjusted that each minute the pen Jumps to one ide. Con sequently there is a break in the line. There are other breaks, too, when the observer watches the stars across the tines in the field of the telescope. The mean time thus recorded for each star after being corrected for errors, is the clock time of the stars transit. What ever difference there is between this clock time and the sidereal time marked by the tarnslt of the stars Is the error of tne clock. From these astronomical observa tions the sidereal time Is obtained The error amounts to but little, rarely being more than from five-hundredths to ten one-hundredths of a second. The sidereal clocks are wonderful pieces of work. They were made in Berlin by a man named Rtefler. There are two clocks which may be used in automatically sending out the time, so if one should break down the other would be ready for the emergency. These clocks are made accurate by com parison with the sidereal clocks. The time of sending a flash over the wires is practically nothing. A flash has reached Greenwich, England, In three tenths of a second. .A.T'tr,a ,lfn,t th number of drat stores to the number of inhabitants of a district or elty. and the need of an additional one " a. irly shown before the license is i . t"-"it f r V: t?

Re ceive Them When They Start to Evict Tenants. DUBLIN', June 27. (Special.) In a remote village in Tipperary there is a public-house with 28 acres of land at tached, which was recently purchased by a member of the Thurles District Council. The former holder, who had been brought into the bankruptcy court, laid the matter before the league, which denounced the purchase, and in conse quence the Councillor was boycotted and the local dairy refused his milk. The other night a Vumber of men attacked the house and completely wrecked it. every window and door being smashed and the counters and other fittings brok en up. The party fired several shots from guns and revolvers. Trap Set for Police. A story of a midnight "raid by police comes from Castletownbere, County Cork. Two parties, numbering in all 60 men. drove in cars from Castletown and Ban try and. converging at Trafrask Cross, proceeded thence to the little village of Leitrim, on the Leigh-White estate. In order to seize the property of three farm ers for Ahe non-payment of rent. Al though these movements were carried out as secretly as possible, the villagers got wind of the coming Invasion. The police had not proceeded far up the narrow road leading to the village when the cars were stopped by a trench, four yards wide and five feet deep, which had been dug right across the highway. A scout had been sent out and thus a serious accident was averted.. Boiling Tar Prepared. Continuing their way on foot, the party came in sight of a house which was bril liantly lighted and from which proceeded the sound of horns, whistling and shout ing. This was the dwelling of one of the defaulters, and it appears that all the people of the neighborhood had gath ered in or about it for the purpose of resisting the threatened seizure. According to one account, there were pots of boiling tar and water mixed with lime in the kitchen, while on the top of - a steep bank under which the road an were posted men armed with stones. The police, however, avoided a conflict by turning their attention to the holding of another farmer, which Bad been left undefended. Here the cattle were promptly seized and the occupier had handed over $65 and agreed to pay the remainder of his rent and costs before the villagers became aware of what was happening. Two "emergency men" from Ulster, employed by a Longford grazier, who for months has been rigidly boycotted and was recently savagely assaulted by a number of men armed with sticks, have been sent for trial at the assizes on a charge of firing at a man named Burke. At the hearing it was stated that the two men, who are . constantly under police protection, were driving to the farm where they were employed, escorted by four constable:, when a crowd came to wards them, booing, shouting and beat ing drums and cans. Burke and his friends came close up and frightened the horse, whereupon one of the accused men drew a revolver and fired. His com panion fired immediately afterwards. Neither bullet took effect. ' The police prevented further disturbance. At the Quarter Sessions Court, at which the men were committed for trial, their em ployer claimed $210 as compensation for injury suffered by his cattle in a recent drive. THE QUEEREST BANK. Needs No Guaranty, as It Is Located In a Penitentiary. Topeka (Kan.) Cor. Kansas City Journal. There is one bank in Kansas that will not Join the state guaranty fund or any other scheme to insure its deposits. It does not have to buy insurance to hold its deposits. Probably it couldn't get in surance if it wanted it. The bank in question is located at the Lansing Penitentiary. It is a one-man institution. There is no board of di rectors or expensive set of officers. John Brown, chief clerk of the prison. Is the whole works and he charges no salary for running the bank. The only depositors in the bank are convicts. This makes it perfectly appar ent why panics do not affect it. Con victs are in no position to make a run on the bank if thy wanted to. How ever, the bank went broke not long ago. But it soon recovered. When the Okla homa prisoners were transferred to the state from whence they came they had about $10,000 wages coming to them. The' state had no funds immediately available to pay them off, so Mr. Brown used the deposits In the convicts' bank. It took all the money in the bank and $1000 beside. Brown borrowed the $1000 from a Leavenworth bank. In due time the Btate reimbursed the prison bank, and now it is perfectly solvent. The $10,000 drawn out by Oklahoma convicts was for labor at the rate of 3H cents a day each. One convict drew $160. That represented 15 years of hard labor. The deposits constitute the money which the convicts have when they reach prison. Their wages during their stay in prison are kept in another way. One convict right now has more than $3000 on deposit. He brought it with him. Sev eral others have from $50 to $500. How ever, 100 or more have less than $1 each on deposit. A dozen have from 2 cents to 5 cents each. A half dozen have 1 cent each. No matter how much or how little money is found on a convict, it is depos ited in the bank and a separate account is kept. The total deposits aggregate now about $5000. They aggregated about $9000 before the Oklahoma convicts were taken out. No interest is paid upon de posits. But if a convict demands It, his money must be placed in a. Leavenworth bank. In that event the prison officials are not responsible for its safety. It is a sad commentary on the state that the prison offcials have to use the convict money to help run the peniten tiary The state only permits the use of $1000 for contingent purposes. When that amount is spent the officials then dig into the convicts' bank. "If Is were not for. the convicts' bank I don't know how we could run things," said Chief Clerk Brown. "We have to have stuff every day that must be paid for with cash. Farmers bring in hay and corn and such stuff, and they demand cash. No warrant on the State Treasury goes with them. So we use convict money Instead of state funds. It would seem that the state, out of self-respect, would establish a system by which it wouldn't have to depend uoort convict monev tn keep Its own institution going."

NURSES GIVEN NO ORDERS Favorite Way to "Quiet" Violent Patients Was to Throw Them Against Wall, or Strangle Them With Sheets. BBRL.TN. June 27. (Special.) A man named Czontos, an attendant at the Stein hof Asylum, which is the largest in Aus tria, and is situated not far from Vienna, and is tenanted by patients from the whole of Lower Austria, was tried today before the Criminal Court here for ill treatment of ' a patient named FeUshl. Prisoner's brutality reached such a pitch thai the patient died on Easter Monday, causing- at that time a .great sensation. The result of yesterday's trial, which only ended last night, displayed the man agement of the Stelnhof Asylum, a build ing originally erected as a model insti tute of its kind, in a most unfavorable light, and the affair forms today the gen eral topic of discussion. The magnificent architecture and technical perfection of this sanatorium, upon whose erection no less than $4,000,000 was expended, present a striking contrast to the internal mis management, which affected the welfare of the unfortunate insane committed to its care. ' No -Discipline Maintained. For the treatment of its 3000 Inmates only 19 doctors were available, and the male assistants appeared to have been men without the slightest knowledge and minus the necessary forbearance so essen tial to their service. They received upon their arrival no nmllmlna,,, 4 ... ... i and it was left to their discretion to read or to neglect the printed rules of the service. Czontos asserted that when he came on duty at 8 in the morning, he was neither spoken to by the director nor by any of the doctors, but proceeded at once to commence his work. When it was necessary to "quiet" the more excited patients ice-cold packing was employed without medical orders. The deceased patient, Feigel. was 30 years old and an assistant bookbinder by trade He usually got into a highly excited condi tion every night. On the fatal occasion Czontos attempted the Ice-packing which Felgl resisted. Thereupon Czon tos threw him to the ground by blows from a twisted sheet, brutacily illtreated him, and drew the sheets so tightly round his larynx that the cartilage was broken in several places. Great Brutality TJsed. He then dragged him about the floor calling out to other attendants, "now the fellow will be at length quiet." He next threw the unfortunate man upon a bed. where he remained without. at tention until the next morning, when the head attendant arrived and sum moned the doctors who, however, saw that all medical aid would be in vain, as the man was dying. It was proved yesterday that the country pays annually for the sup port of this Institution $1,800,000. but that the attendants are wretchedly paid, and are on duty from 5:36 In the morning until 1 in the following morn.
