his order appointing Albert H. Hall re-
ceiver for the insolvent American Min

memoranda which accompanies this or

company is course of business conduct

while there was no investigation made
at the hearing, l am safe from the ad-
missions made, and from the matters set
forth in the information (Which cannot
be controverted), in saying that the
charges of criminal conduct on the part
of officials of this company are substau-
TALLY correct. 1t is difficult to find a
language in which properly to charac-
terize the acts of these officials; but II
is not too much to say that highway
robbery and burglary become common

fraud and deviltry as appear to have
been practiced.

the facts warrant they may be held to

A NAVAL STORES CONVENTION.
1t Is Advocated by Florida oper-
atOr for Several Reasons.


Tampa, Fla. June 19.-Editor Morning
News With the present conditions con-
fronting the naval stores operators. Is it
not time for them to call a halt and
consider their present condition. and get
together and take reckoning as to some
future line of action that will lead them
Out of the present financial difficulties
that the high price Of timber and high
price of labor and low price of spirits
have placed them.
1t is an indisputable fact that the oper-
ators to-day are owing more and making
less than they have done for years; and.
doubtless will owe their factors more in
the fall than they should have owed after
cutting their boxes preparatory for the
new crop of 1902.
] would, therefore, suggest that a con-
vention be called by the operators and
commission men-say between the LIST and
18th of August, looking to the curtailiug
of the cutting of boxes for the next sea-
son. and to arrive at some uniform plan
governing the price of labor to be paid
for cutting.
The fields of the Carolinas and Gorgia
are well nigh depleted. so far as the
opera ton of turpentine is concerned Ala
bama must necessarily soon be placed
along by their side. leaving Florida, Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Texas as the
principal field for the operation of the
naval stores world; and while these
states offer these fields of operation, it
must be remembered that the prices of
timber are advancing rapidly and will
soon be beyond the reach of the average
operator, as the forests of these states,
which are not being operated, have
passed, and are passing into the hands
of few. 7 would earnestly ask, there
fore. the operators to carefully husband
up the timber that they now control, and
from which they must derive means to
pay the indebtedness that is now upon
them, and afford them means with which
they can embark in other industries when
the operation of turpentine passes from
them. To do this, an economical course
of action demands their attention, and
they must act upon it before it is too
late
/ write this more to awaken IN the
minds of our operator friends the in
evitable that awaits them. unless they
combine in some course of action looking
to the amelioration of their present con-
dition.

more centrally located in the turpentine
