reached. instead OF the subordinates.
Most of the depredations are now
committed by mining and railroad
companies and other corporations
which should interest themselves to
protect instead of destroy the forests.
Formerly they were Indifferent to the
law and would allow their subordin-
ates who actually did the work to be
arrested. fined and imprisoned and
paid them we'll for IL. But now the
government officials arc reaching out
for the presidents and managers OF
such corporations and bringing them
into court under indictments for of
fenses that are punishable by impris-
onment as well as fines. Although 1t
is very difficult and sometimes i'm
possible to secure conviction before a
local jury. the arrest and prosecution
of conspicuous members of a commun-
ity has a wholesome effect upon the
public. The people have to be educat-
ed to respect public rights. The laws
are very liberal. A certain amount of
mature timber is sold every year by
auction or by contract, but II Is Sc
Iected and marked by expert agents.
Other trees are not allowed to be cut.
The dead and down timber is also
sold under similar regulations, and
mining companies are allowed to cut
between 100000 and 2o0,0 900 feet annu-
| ally for fuel and building purposes un.
der certain regulations. Nevertheless,
| certain corporations prefer to violate
the law and destroy the forests"
The fact that they are being held to

ment for intelligent forestry in the
United States is growing.

In charge of these reserves are 8
superintendents, SO supervisors and i45
rangers, whose duty is to keep a vigil
liant watch for trespassers and secure
evidence for their prosecution. They
are also required to be on the lookout
for fires and use their best efforts to
preserve the fcw great forests that are
now remaining in the mountain states.
Since July :, 1890, up to Nov. 20 last
there were eco cases of depreciation
upon the forest reserves and other
government land involving timber
valued at $735,722; 202 suits We're
brought in the civil courts to recover
s694, 149: 2O6 persons We're indicted and
prosecuted in the criminal courts, and
l51 cases We're settled by the payment
of s4664O by way of compromise.
The forest rangers, in addition to
| their other duties, have been required
to clear out old trails and roads and
to blaze and cut new trails through
the reserve, and at danger points to
! cut fire breaks. During the last fiscal
year there have been cleared out and
| made accessible for unobstructed use
1850 miles of old trails. and 1895 miles
of new trails have been cut, and 1896
miles of trails have been blazed: 264
miles OF permanent fire breaks have
been cut, with an average width of SO
feet. The opening of trails Is consid-
cred one of the most important fea-
| lures of patrol work, as IL makes pos
sible the reaching of forest fires In the
shortest possible time, saving, in many
instances, long journeys to get from
one danger point to another.
| A comparative statement of fires for
the years ending June so, 1899, and
June so, 1900, shows that the rangers
discovered and extinguished 237 more
camp fires during the year just closed
than the year previous. OF the fires
that had gained considerable head

man was William Shively, whose wife
left him couple of years ago. He had
two children. both girls. and the
mother obtained his permission to let
them visit her Mt Grand Rapids. She
disappeared from that city afterward,
taking the children with her. Unknown

custody of her sister at Milwaukee and
went to live i'm KenOSha. The sister
decided to restore the children to their
father and she came with the two
two girls. Unable to find any trace OF
Shiveley, she went to the theater and
was rewarded by finding the missing
parent in the audience. Father and
daughters were reunited in n very
theatrical manner. Mrs. Shiveley's sis

QUERIES FOR ". 5. SCHLEY
Characterization Of the Admira
the Next Step.
COURT WILL TAKE A HAND,
Questioning by Attorney Rayner and
the Judge Advocate May Occupy Two
Days-Rayner VIII Ask Complete
VlndIcation of Schley.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The next step
in the programme of the Schley court
OF inquiry is to place the applicant"
under examination by Mr.. Rayner in
order to bring out more strongly the
points which he had made and TO
make clear the ones which he left OBJ
scure In the cross-eXamination OF
Schley centers the greatest interest.
The judge advocate has prepared
long list of questions which he means
to ask the witness, and the court has
in store many more on which 1t needs
enlightenment. 1t was noted that
during Schley's recountal OF the San
tiago campaign, which he gave dur
ing the two days he was on the stand,
Admiral Benham wrote on slips OF pa
per questions which the court will ask
when the cross-examination has been
concluded. 1t is estimated that it will
require fully two days to complete
the cross-examination. Then will fol-
low these questions by the court, and
probably another day will be con-
sumed in redirect examination. This
finished, witnesses will be called in
rebuttal By these the navy depart
ment will endeavor to show that
Schley had received direct intimation
that the Spanish squadron was in San
tiago before he began his retrograde
movement. This retrograde move
ment, the failure to destroy the Colon
and the Hodgson correspondence now
seem to be the points on which the
navy department mostly relies tc
prove its case.

schIey Again on stand.

Contrary to expectations, Judge Ad
vocate Lemly began his cross-exam.
ination Monday morning, and assumed
the role of prosecutor so clearly that
those who have asserted 1t was an i'm.
partial court of inquiry were com
PEELED to abandon that position. Cap
tain Lemly read from the naval regu.
lations in an attempt to show that
Schley violated the code If he did not
have plan of BATTLE July 3 and give
it to his captains. General Raynoi
fought vigorously and in the course
of his remarks declared that the sim
pie signal, Follow the flag" was a
sufficient plan of battle.

words were, Follow the flag"
Admiral Dewey and his colleagues
retired for consultation, and, return.
ing announced that they wanted nc
questions asked concerning Schley's
control of the fleet after the date when
he surrendered command of the squad
ron.
Judge Advocate Lemly overlooked
no opportunity to substantiate the
charges made in the department pre-.
cept. He asked multitude of ques-
tions calculated to show that Schley
was guilty of various misdemeanors
and delved into trivial details until
the faces of the admirals of the court
showed they were growing impatient
Lemly did his best to elicit informa.
ton unfavorable to Schley, but made
no effort to develop other lines of evi.
dence. Doubtless the judge advocate
will leave 1t to Schley's counsel tc
bring out that part of the testimony.

No Criticism of Loop"


AS to the Brooklyns loop" that
spectacular feature of the Santiago
battle and the one which has been
more widely discussed than any one
of the ten precepts, it is pointed out
by navy officers directly concerned in
this investigation that whatever in
dividual officers may have said, the
department itself has never made any
criticism Of Schley for that maneuver
Secretary Long in his letter, made nc
mention of it, and it is now known
that he had early information that
Cook and not Schley had given the
order-that Cook had regarded it az
a good tactical move and that officers
like Clark of the Oregon had approved
it as such. 1t is claimed by the Adj
miraps friends here that Schley in his
narrative of events very nearly de-
molished or satisfactorily explained
the mass of testimony which had piled
up against him concerning the other
counts. In his examination of the wit
ness Mr.. Rayner hopes similarly tc
dispose of all the rest, and in his sum.
ming up will endeavor to show cause
why his client should receive full vim
dication at the hands of the court, as
he has already received it from the
public
