During the present system the mi

Mr.. HITCHCOCK
Members of the Livestock Asso-
citation Don't Like Secretary's
Forest Reserve Policy.
Especial to The Herald


Washington. June I6.-There was no
sign of uneasiness on the cOuntenance
of Secretary Hitchcock today when he
read the special dispatch from Denver
announcing that prominent members of
the National Livestock association in
tended making a united effort to in
duce President Roosevelt to remove
him from the interior department If
there is not a change in the forest re-
serve policy. Secretary Hitchcock had
no comment to make on the attitude Of
the stockmen. The fact remains that
Secretary Hitchcock is not wholly re-
spOnsible for the administration for
est reserve policy. He is but one fac
tor. but President Roosevelt, Secretary
Hitchcock, Chief Forester PinchOt,
Land Commissioner Richards and
other prominent officials are working in
harmony so far as forest administra-
ton is concerned and are agreed on the
essential features of the forest reserve
policy.
Moreover, President Roosevelt has
the highest regard for Secretary Hitch
cock. believing him TO be an exceptions
al man for his Office and one who viii
fearlessly but justly administer the
laws. Secretary Hitchcock has al
ways maintained that he is not re-
sponsible for the laws under which the
present forestry policy was built up. If
the stockmen don't Ike the policy, he
SAYS their recourse IS with congress,
1t is the laws they object to more than
the policy and if they want a change
they must go 20 congress. While the
present laws stand he viii carry them
out to the letter, for he has no fear Of
losing his Office. In fact. he knows he
has the hearty approval Of the presi-
dent and any appeal by livestock men
OF the character indicated viii avail

Father John Cronstadt Rampant on
Another Chute

St. Petersburg, June 16.-Father John
Cronstadt. whose fiery condemnation of
the Kishineff massacre was published
in the St Petersburg liberal newspapers,
has published the following in the anti
Semitic Quamin, the new organ in St.
Petersburg:
ITO NV Believers and Christian Friends:
From the newspaper accounts succeed
ing the first published reports concerning
the Kishfneff catastrophe. I have con-
cluded that the Jews themselves were the
cause of the disorders, and that the
Jews have been doubly repaid for their
losses and injuries by their own brethren
and others. I know this from private let
tiers which I have received from people
who lived a long time in Kishineff who
are well acquainted with affairs there,
and who are most trustworthy There
fore I say to the EIishineff Christians. for
give the reproach on account of the hOr-
rors that were committed. which I cast
uDon YOU alone, From the letters Of eye
witnesses I am convinced that one can
not Law all the blame upon the Christians
who were provoked to the disorders by
the Jews. and that the Jews were mainly
responsible for the catastrophe.
No Russian newspaper of any weight
has attempted to palliate the massacre
or to lay the blame on the Jews
