BORAH'S ADVICETO" EAST IS POINTED WESTERN STATESMAN, WHO TELLS EASTERN AUDIENCE WESTERN VIEW CT CONSERVATION. r Uearn to Conserve Your Own Resources Before You Teach Us, He Says. WEST QUITE COMPETENT Idaho Senator Points Out to Brook lyn Audience Decline In Vain of I'arms In New York Cltlxens Lacking; In Knowledge. BROOKLYN. N. T, Jan. (Special) "Learn to conserve the natural re sources of your own states before un dertaking to Instruct us." was the bur den of a speech delivered tonight by Senator Borah, of Idaho, before the Brooklyn Institute of Fine Arte and Science. In the course of hta talk, the Irlaho Senator explained the Western Idea of conservation, and then showed what theoretical conservation, as It has been practiced, has done for the West. Following- upon this, the Senator called the attention of his Eastern au dience to the glowing fact that while they had been reaching; out and at tempting to "conserve" the resource of the West, they had overlooked an op portunity to try out their theories at home. lie showed the vast need of practical conservation In the state of New York, and hinted very pointedly that the people of the East were In no way equipped to direct the work of conservation beyond the Missouri River. Westerner 'ot Lunatics. At the outset, he attempted to dis abuse the minds of his audience of the Idea that the people of the Weet should be either In the penitentiary or In the asylums. He spoke In highest terms of the people of the West, eulogized the pioneer and defended his own section against the attacks that have been made upon it by muckrakers and their Ilk. Turning, then, to the subject of conservation, he said In part: The time for discussion of abstract propositions Is at an end. While we engage In this remarkable exhibition of dialectics, waate and monopoly (to on with rapid pace. The present sys tem, for want of practical application of sane principles, le one of waste and one entirely to the benefit of monopo lists. Conservation Congress Farce. We had a conservation enngres at St. Paul last Summer. It was a great political convention. So far as any ad vance being made toward a practical solution of the great questions of con servation, the convention was a cruel and brutal farce. I say cruel and bru tal advisedly, for while men were watchlns and spying upon one another for political advantage, while euspiclon and misrepresentation ment on and academic discussion proceeded, millions of dollars worth of timber were being destroyed, homes and homesteaders burned, and not an Intelligent nor an earnest suggestion concerning; the mat ter or as to how to provide against a future recurrence of this catoatrophe." netting- down to specific details. Sen ator Borah said: "There are at least 3.000.000 acres of lanrla In the forest reserves In my state which are as good agricultural lands as are now untaken. Why not throw open most of these lands to the homesteader? There Is no timber upon most of them, and no merchantable timber of any no sent upon any of them. Xo Good Served. "These lands can aerve no a-ood pur pose In the reserves, and It la waste to withhold them from production. Not only that, but they are a menace to the reserves, as they make the reserve more expensive and more difficult to take care of and protect from tires. "What Is true of Idaho la true in other states to an even larger degree. From the most careful Investigations which I have been able to make. I be lieve there are 20.000.000 acres of a-ood agricultural lands In onr forest re serves not covered by merchantable timber and never will be. It seems to me shortsighted. If not worse, to with hold from the homesteader and the bona fide homebultder the. agricul tural lands. The real timber lands should be held in the reserves, and there may be here and there a piece ef land not now In the reserve which should be Included. But the agricultural lands ought to be open to entry, and It to a menace to the reserves to keep them as they are. Regulations Held Faulty. "When they say to you that under the law a man may take agricultural lands In the reserves. I say. yes. under the law he may. But under the rules and regulations of the "department he , cannot as -a practical proposition. If I say to you that you may go upon that piece of land of mine and If you re duce one-half of It to cultivation In three years and the balance In five. I -will give you a deed to It. you will 'likely go if you want the land. But If I say to yon that If you go upon that piece of land and work upon It for two years; and if I like your work. I will give It to you. you will not go unless you are blessed with far more credulity aa to human nature than most people are. Especially you will not go If you know I am not going to give it to you If I can avoid It when the ques tion of avoidance rests solely within my own discretion. That Is the effect of these rules and regulations. 'Room Delightful" for a Child. Ttoora Delightful" for a child, every stick of the furntlure made out of old soap and dryfoods boxes, is to be one of the features of the Home Life Section at the New York Child Welfare Exhibit.

The plants in the room are grown from sweet pota toes or from seeds which can be obtained free. Paper, hangings and curtains are all of the cheapest kind and yet in per fect tast.

California regained first place among the gold producing states, which she had lost to Colorado In 1897. This is due. It Is said, to the development of dredge mining. Alaska showed a fall ing olt. The total sliver production of the United States during 1910 Is estimated at 46.000.000 fine ounces, of which Mon tana led with 11.000.000. with Utah a close second.

ARMY SENT AGAINST 2 MEN Burglars Only Used Anarchy to Cover Crimes They Fired House and Shot Themselves When Capture Seemed Certain. LONDON, Jan. 4. England is now disposed to think the London police made themselves ridiculous by sum moning such a largo fore to subdue the band of outlaws in Sidney Btreet yes terday. It proves that only two were In the house when It was attacked by 1000 police, reinforced by Scots Guards and artillery. The fact is established apparently that the building was fired by the des peradoes. It is thought that when the trapped men found their ammunition nearly spent and escape impossible, they set fire to the building and com mitted suicide. No papers were found throwing light on the operations of the gang. It is believed that they found refuge in the tenement on Decembor 29 and that they were befriended by neighbors. "Peter-the-Painter-" and "Dutch Fritz" were members of an anarchist club which met near Sidney street until recently. The police were aware of the activities of this club, but considered them only political. A member of the club who gave tie police a clew, leading to the attack of "yesterday, said: "Neither 'Peter-the-Painter' nor Dutch Fritz' ever showed signs of do ing any honest work. Both attended the meeting, the object of which was to protest against the execution of Professor Francisco Feirer, the Spanish teacher, who was convicted of revolu tionary activities. I think that both used anarchy as a mask for their crimes." It is established that women were as sociated with the gang's operations.
