WHAT FARR FOUND
1,253,56 Feet Illegally Cut in a
Single Camp.
acial Ia The Inl,rnal

Special to The Journal.
Detroit, Mimi, June S.-J. E. Farr, gen
eral superintendent of logging and seal
ing, who was in charge of the resealing on
the White Earth reservation. has quit
and gone to Wisconsin and the Indians are
growing restless once more. Farr dis
charged all his assistants and the work is
at complete standstill.
The work OF rescaling was begun In the
McDougall lumber camp, and the crew was
not quite through with the camp when the
telegram ordering a suspension was re-
ceived. AS far as they went, the seal
ers brought to light an amazing discrin-
ination of the cutting Of green pine un-
der the guise of dead and down" timber
When the work of rescaling ceased and
the notes of the six different experts were
compared and compiled by Mr.. Farr it was
developed that 1888, $50 feet of green
standing pine had been illegally cut in the
McDougall camp alone.
Mr.. Farr did not hesitate in the ex-
preston Of his conviction that, both at
White Earth and at Leech Lake, the dead
and down timber logging on Indian reser-
vations was farce.
Persons from the reservation say that
as a result of the developments of the
past few days, the Indians are angrier
than ever, and are renewing their threats
against the contractors and loggers.

WOULD REMOVE WOOD
Cubans ResOrting to the Same OIG
Spanish Misrepresentation.


Spanish Misrepresentation.
Washington, June S-The Cuban situ-
alton was again discussed at the cabinet
meeting yesterday. Secretary Root pre-
sented several kilograms from Governor
General Wood, conveying the information
that the purport Of Secretary Roots let
ter regarding the Platt amendment had
been communicated to several members of
the Cuban convention without waiting for
the translation and formal presentation
General Wood said the Cubans were
disappointed over the refusal of this gov
ernment to accept their Interpretation Of
the Platt amendment, but they believed
the convention would, by a close vote
be able to comply with the conditions and
pass the Platt amendment as adopted by
congress.
Secretary Foot is much annoyed by the
Misrepresentation of his position by the
Cuban commission and the claim that he
made the interpretations of the Platt
amendment which they embodied in their
constitution. 1t is stated with positive
ness that the Cubans never received any
such interpretations from responsible Off
cials in Washington, and 1t is reported
from Havana that the Cubans will now try
to throw the responsibility upon Gov
ernor General Wood and make 1t appear
that he consented to their form of the
amendment. The purpose of such a move
is clear to the administration. 1t is
simply another effort to compel the presi-
dent to recall General Wood and name a
new governor general who will be more
conciliatory to the Cuban constitution
makers. This effort will fail as did the
effort to make it appear that the inter-
probation OF the Platt amendment was
from Secretary Root.
There can be no further efforts at con-
ciliation and explation. The Cuban con-
vention must adopt the Platt amendment
just as it stands to secure any recognition
for their constitution in Washington

CONCERNING BANKRUPTCY
HOW THE NELSON Law OPERATES
shows the Act Is
Success.

Washington, June 8.-The summary OF
the semi-annual reports Of the operation
of the bankruptcy law for the period end
ing March 81, 1901, recently submitted to
the attorney general by E. G. BraEden-
burg, in charge of bankruptcy matters in
the department of justice, shows that dur
ing this period 9,516 voluntary petitions
were filed. as against 5000 for the pre-
ceding six months; 1920 for the six
months ending Marcia 81, 1900; TO- 124 for
the six months ending March 81, 1899, thus
showing no appreciable variation from the
average number of petitions filed since
the law went into operation, though it 10
over 2 500 less than for the corresponding
period of last year.
For the same period, 1,076 petitions in
Involuntary bankruptcy were filed, this be-
ing slightly in excess Of the average for
the past two years and half.
The report shows that a large percent
age Of those taking advantage of tie vol
| untary feature of the law are old in
solvents seeking this means of resuscitat-
ing themselves in the business world.
During the past six months OF the volun
tary cases 1857 have been closed. In
these the total liabilities, direct and con-
| tingent, have been 1884, 500, ,O97, while the
net assets realized for distribution as divi-
dents have been $3,5S7, ,447.
The total liabilities in 760 cases were
less than $500; in $40 cases between $500
and $1,000, and in 5000 cases between
$1,000 and $4,000; the balance being for
larger sums in varying amounts. 1t also
appears that TAT who filed petitions were
farmers, 3,843 wage earners, 1877 mer
chants, 123 manufacturers, 140 professional
men, and the balance had occupations of
miscellaneous character.
OF the involuntary cases 325 were closed
during the year, in which the total liabil-
tiles were $4,626,948, while the total as
sets realized were $879. 9.597. Mr.. Branden-

one or two exceptions, for which con-
