PRESIDENT BURKES DENIAL.

Portland, Me, Feb 1.-President T. A. Burke of the Maine Polo league yesterday denied most emphatically that the withdrawal of the Bangor team would be death blow to the league.

However. he said, it is now practically settled that the team will be transferred to Biddeford. the first game being played at Bath Saturday night. He said the league managers were determined to finish the season at any cost.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Tickets Stil Selling Rapidly
 For the Big Battle.


 Trial-Iommy Ryan Knocks Out Jim Judge-Louisville May Get the Big Fight-Comparison Between the Big Fellows-Austin Rice Wins An other Fight on Points. Cincinnati. Feb 1.-The hearing in the case of James J.. Jet1ries and Gus huhlin, who are matched to fight here on February 15 and who. were arrest ed on warrants issued by Justice of the Peace Roebling, which was set for yesterday afternoon, was postponed until Monday at the request of the county prosecuting attorney, MT Hoff- heimer.
 Among the visitors at Ruhlin's train- ing quarters at the Country club last evening was constable from the ad- Joining suburb of Carthage This gave rise to the report that Denver" Ed Martin, who is sparring with Ruhlin, had been arrested on the same charge as Jeffries and Ruhlin last Monday night Although the rumor proved to be false, 1t caused a stir in this city among the promoters of the fight.
 Martin is to fight Frank Childs ten rounds as the preliminary to the Jef- fries-Ruhlin contest Childs is in hard and close training on the Kentucky side of the river, where he is safe, and it is not likely that Martin will be ar rested unless Childs also can be reached.
 The sale of tickets yesterday aggre- gated 4,7OO, making a total of S45,OOO to date. Ruhlin remains at his coun- try quarters hard at work, and does not come to the city. Jeffries works during the day and seeks some diver sion at night He heard Mrs Carter in ''Zaza' last night.
 Ii is announced that q special train to attend the Ruhlin- Jeffries contest in Cincinnati will leave New York on the New York Central on February IA at 12:30, with sleeping, buffet and dining cars attached, arriving in Cincinnati on Friday morning, February 15. A train will also leave Boston at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, connect ing with the New York train.

The First State Forest Lands

The Minnesota forestry board, which has
now been in existence two years, has at last
something to manage. Heretofore it has been
forestry board without forests but now it
has LOCO acres Of land, which constitute the
beginning OF public forest system that will.
1t is hoped, grow to considerable proportions
In the future. Last winter former Governor
John ,. Pillsbury announced his intention to
give the board a thousand acres, but it was
not until recent meeting that the board was
furnished with full description Of the lands.
They are located in Cass county, on or near
Gull lake, fine body of water about twelve
miles long. The southern extremity of the
donated lands is three miles from Sylvan
Lake station point on the Northern Pacific
railroad, about fifteen miles west of Brain
erd. Ihe lands, which will be known as
Plllspury state forest. are composed of agri-
culturally useless cut over "forties" in town
lS4 and ranges 20 and 80. AS shown by the
accompanying map, they are in three differ
ent localities. but there are $40 acres together
in the largest group
Under the forestry law of 1899 two-thirds
of the products of the forest lands go to an
educational institution or system which in
this case, Governor Pillsbury has designated
as the university of Minnesota, and the other
third to the state. county and town.
1t Is not the policy of the forestry board to
secure large tracts OF land in any one place.
but rather to get small holdings, scattered
over the state N ss many townships as pos
sible, OF the very rocky, very rough or very
sandy and poor land not fit for farming pur-

MAKE HASTE

The water board decided yesterday to
ask the city engineer to make soundings
at the Camden station and report upon
the practicability of installing one of
the pumps from the other stations at
Camden station so as to increase the ca
pacity at that point sufficiently to supply
the summer demand without drawing
upon the other stations. This action was
taken at the conclusion of a meeting of
business men with the water board, at
which the board were very urgently re-
quested to lose no time in providing an
escape from the present deplorable ne
cessity of relying in part upon the lower
stations for water.
While there is some doubt in the minds
of a portion of the committee as to the
character of the foundation and whether
it would admit of the location of another
pump at that point without damage to
those already there, it is believed these
doubts will be removed and that it will
be shown, as is claimed by engineering
authorities, including the best judgment
available upon the subject, that there is
no reason why another pump may not
be located at Camden station and sue
cessfully operated without detriment to
the pumps already there. This having

aged by the town supervisors elected by
themselves, who by law are the town forestry
board. These little state forests will be like
the communal forests Of Europe, which often
pay all town taxse and furnish firewood to the
people. The stateis to divide the proceeds
OF sales Of frewood, timber, poles, posts ETC.,
with the town and county where the forests
are located The people of each locality
therefore have close interest in the care
and preservation of the timber. This Is q
local interest outside of the larger interest
OF the state in the important effects Of the
forests on climate, preservation of water
courses, warding off the bad effect of dry and
scorchlng winds and hot weather. The coun-
ty commissioners, as the country forestry
board, have general charge of the state
forests in their county and must decide in
the hrst instance whether proposed forest
lands are or are not fit for cultivation or are
better suited to raise timber for the use
OF the nearby farmers than for general farm
ing purposes.
While the first forestry law provided only
Tor the donation Of lands worthless for agri-
cultural purposes those absolutely needed
Tor the protection of water courses another
law passed by the last legislature turns over
to the board certain non-agricultural lands
which have come into the possession Of the
state through the tax forfeit sales after many
years Of abandonment. Both laws are so
nedged about and limited that there is no
possibility that the state forests may ever
be enlarged at the expense of the states
agricultural area, the dominating idea of the
state forestry system, being the utilization
or waste lands for the public good, local and
general, by means of forests.

THE ROBERT TREAT PA1NEs
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The New York directory exhibits on page
1893 the subjoined entry:
Paine, Robt. T., ins 45 Cedar"
This Is an abbreviated form Of the name Of
Robert Treat Paine, a gentleman who has re-
Gently been receiving at his business address
in this town letters, inc1osing checks, which
he surmised were intended for another Robert
Treat Paine living in Boston. The New York
Robert Treat Paine thereupon forwarded to
the Boston Robert Treat Paine the mail mat
ter with valuable Enclosures which belonged
to the latter; at the same time courteously
requesting the Boston Robert Treat Paine to
notify his correspondents OF the mistake they
had been making in addressing their remit
tances.
The Acknowledgements of the alleged Robert
Treat Paine of Boston for the trouble and
kindness Of the New York Robert Treat Paine
were contained in letter which was printed
in the New York Herald of yesterday. This
communication deserves a place in the history
Of Massachusetts:
Your letter, with it's Enclosure, has been
received by me. L hope you will allow me
to express my sincere regret that you
should bear the name that by right of lineal
descent belongs to me and my family here In
Boston. There is no other direct male de-
scendant Of Robert Treat Paine, signer of
the Declaration of Independence, who was
the first to bear that name. If the name was
given to you out of honor to the singer, 1
think such a practice should not receive the
sanction of thoughtful persons
The recipient of this solemn rebuke did not
go penitently to court with an application for
change of name, but sat down and wrote an
irreverent rejoinder.
Your remarkable letter has been received
by me and for the reason that it is impos-
sible to stop the bray Of the donkey without
killing the ass I will allow you to express
your sincere regret. The family to which l
have the honor. to belong existed for many
years prior to the signing Of the Declaration
of Independence, and our statement that the
signer was the first to bear the name sug-
gests thoughts as to his antecedents. I have
never been sufficiently interested to look up
my genealogical tree, and certainly 1 shall
never attempt 1t now, lest 1 may find that
one of its withered branches reached out to

SPANISH AMERICAN DISCORD

A Washington dispatch attributes the
disturbances in Venezuela and Colombia to
the development of a plot engineered by
President Castro, of Venezuela, and Gen.
Tribe Uribe, OF Colombia, to unite the re-
publics Of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecqua-
dor in one federated republicf To resist
| this scheme several revolutions are in
progress.
The half dozen attempts to unite the
Central American republics Guatemala,
Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica have, so miserably failed that it would
seem the height of folly for other states
to attempt the construction of a union.
Our government has been compelled to
send two warships to protect the terminals
of the Panama railway from the excesses
of the Colombian revolutionists, who seem
to be well-prOvided with munitions Of war.
The outlook is for revolutionary disturb
ances for several months. There are
symptoms of revolution in Brazil also, and
there is always prospect for revolution
there, so long as the partizans Of Countess
D'Eu, the daughter of the late Emperor
Dom Pedro, entertain hope of restoring
the House Of Braganza to the throne from
which it was expelled several years ago,
and placing upon 1t the Countess's son
Pedro, who is now 26 years old.
The signs of the times do not look very
favorable for the Pan-American Congress
which is to assemble in the City of Mexico
in Onfnhor 30
compact of the new world republics is a
very alluring one. 1t was a favorite sub
ject OF contemplation by the late James
G. Blaine. 1t was cherished hope of
Henry Clay and President Monroe The
Spanish-American republics favored such
a league for mutual protection and ad-
vancement shortly after they secured their
independence of old Spain and the Panama
congress of 1925 was called to effect that
| purpose. The President was authorized by
congress to appoint delegates to that con-
gress, but it suddenly occurred to the con-
gressmen from the slave states of the
south that all the Spanish American re-
publics had prohibited slavery in their
constitutions and that the United States
| would be the only champion of slavery at
the congress and that views irritating to
the promoters of our peculiar Institution"
might be expressed, so the pro-slavery
element at Washington deliberately de-
layed action on the subject until it was
too late for delegates to reach Panama be-
fore the congress of American republics
adjourned 1t WaS q most favorable time
for the United States to promote a league
Of the American republics, but the oppor-
tunity was lost.
The coming Pan-American Congress is
intended to promote the spirit of har-
mony and uninterrupted constitutional
government besides bringing the republics
in closer commercial intercourse.

The Owatonna Chronicle complains that
the board of control system will injure
the business Of the local stores, in that
they are not likely to be able to get con-
tracts in competition with the large
wholesale houses Of the twin cities. This
complaint touches one Of the shortcomings
of the old system. Each particular insti-
tuition board was more or less dominated
by the resident member who often made
1T his business to get as many orders as
possible for local merchants, regarding
himself as a sort of means by which pub
lie moneys could reach the pockets of
his fellow townsmen and often Of himself.
The board of control will buy, as 1t should
buy, wherever in the state 1t can get
goods the cheapest. So long as reason
able prices are charged the orders ought
not to go outside of the state from which
the taxes come to support the institutions.

SURPRISED ROOSEVELT

when governor Of the state of New York.

he said, "and 1t was addressed His Excel
lency the Governor, Albany, N. Y 1 thought
the sender af the package was somewhat
formal to address me that way on the out
side Of a package, but my surprise was in
creased when opened the bundle 1 found
a pair OF battle axes, complete set of dag
gers, and half score of old-fashioned blum
derbuses. After examining the weapons 1
had almost concluded that some friend
thought another war was in sight when

Religion Losing Ground.

Speaking in Detroit last Sunday, Archbish-
op Ireland, in public address, said: "Ren-
gion is rapidly losing ground. There are men
especially who never breathe a sigh of prayer
toward heaven, many OF them In public
places, where their influence and example are
bad. Day by day science and philosophy are
taking the place of religion. Papers and mag
azines reflect these ideas" Here in New
York 1t is charged that Protestant church at
tendance this summer is so small as to excite
remark. Supplies who come to metropolitan
pulpits and do not bring famous names with
them get scarcely any hearers at all. while
ministers from other cities who have made
names for themselves fare little, II any bet
ter. The curious explanation Is offered that
the reason OF the small attendance upon al
vine services in this city this year is found in
the increased financial prosperity Of the coun-
try, which enables so many people to leave
the city. In Brooklyn and some sections on
this side of the river, however, the public
complaint has been made OF the inability TO
get ministers to attend to occasional calls OF
necessity from those who have had to stay IN
the city. In Brooklyn, in some instances
several churches have dubbed together and
retained supply minister, who advertises
that he is ready when called on to ofnciate for
such and such congregations. Sunday school
workers have in many instances closed their
schools in this city, solely because their chill
dren are away.

CrOker's Silence.

CrOlxer's Silence.
Aug. Though Crokerism as an issue will
never be eliminated from New York politics
so long as Richard Croker is alive, evidence
continues to accumulate that the Tammany
chieftain's personality at least will not be a
factor in the coming campaign. The refusal
of John F. Carroll, Croker's Tammany mes
senger boy, and Frank H. Croker, the chiefs
son, who have just returned from England,
to make any statement of when Mr. Croker
may be expected on this side, has had the
effect of accentuating this impression among
the Tammany braves. And by many them
this reticence on the part of the chieftains
emissaries is anything but gratefully re-
ceived. 1t is they who are the bone and.
sinew Of Tammanys power, and they natu-
rally feel that their allegiance to the organ
iZation should at least guarantee them against
being snubbed concerning a matter of such
Importance at this critical time. Besides,
there are other evidences Of Mr.. Croker's
determination to let Tammany shift for itself
for the present, and many of the lesser lumi-
naries of the wigwam say the rank and file
are growing restive under the suspense The
fact that Mr. Crokers sister and her husband
are going to visit the Tammany leader in his
English home so late in the season is having
the effect of confirming Tammany men i'll
their belief that they will have to work out
their salvation without assistance from the
chief. His health is good there, his son de-
clares; much better even than in New York.
So the outlook seems rather cerulean for
those who fear that Tammany's star can re-
main in the ascendant only while the dictator
blazes the way. By the anti-Tammany ele-
ments the oyster proclivities of Mr. Carroll
are looked upon with complacency. While It
is true they would prefer to have some posi-
tive expression of what Mr.. Croker intends
to do in order that their fight against the ma
chine may have definite direction, neverthe-
less the Idea prevails that the refusal Of Mr.
Carroll to talk arises out Of the fact that the
tiger is ratified to such an extent that it is
uncertain which way to jump and that moth
ing is said because there Is nothing to say.
