The Need of F0,rNexy
BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The forest resources of our country arc already
depleted. They can be renewed and maintained
only by the cooperation OF The forester with the
practical man OF business in all his types, but, above
all. with the lumber man. And the most striking
and encouraging fact in the forest situation is that
lumber men are realizing that practical numbering
and practical forestry are allies. not enemies, and
that the future OF each depends upon the other.

I'VE have employed two prominent law

I've had hoped that the workmen would
understand that corruption exists among
many Of their leaders, but from the vote
of confidence given to some of the delegates
it seems necessary that another exposure
should take place. This will result in other
arrests as soon as the data can be pro-
cured.
I'VE would have stopped with the men

marks he had made about its subjects,

Official announcement was made yes
terday that in consequence of the i'll health
Of Charles M. Schwab, pre- sident of the
United States Steel Corporation. W. e.
Corey, president Of the Carnegie Steel
Company, has been appointed an assistant
to perform the active duties Of the presi-
dency. This announcement was made
following a meeting of the Finance Com
mittee of the corporation. Richard Trim

gave 1t out in typewriter form. as follows;
In consequence Of the continued Ill health
Of the president. he has requested the APP
pointm.nt of an assistant to perform the ac-
tive duties of the presidency. and at to-day's
meeting Of the Finance Committee Mr.. W. r.
Corey. pres ident of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. was appointed to such position.
For a month. past Wall Street has been
filed with rulnors that Mr.. Schwab was
to resign as president. These stories have
been denied by persons who stated that
they spoke for Mr.. Schwab. Some rather
heavy liquidation of the securities Of the
Steel Corporation has occurred in the
market, and one of the rumors has been
that the securities iQuidated represented
selling for the account of Mr.; Schwab;
This r,imor also has been denied Wall
Street, when it read the official statement
given out yesterday regarding the appoint
ment of an assistant to the president, was
inclined to the opinion that the action taken,
while not representing the actual resig-
nation Of Mr.. Schwab. was tantamount
TO the same thing so far as the conduct OF
the business of the Steel Corporation was
concerned, the statement saying that the
assistant appointed will perform the active
duties of the presidency
Members Of the Finance Committee OF
the Steel Corporation declined to say any
thing further regarding the matter. Mr..
Schwab was at the office Of the Steel Corpo-
ration, II Broadway, but was not visible
Mr.. Corey was also there yesterday. His
headquarters as president of the Carnegie
Steel Company have been at Pittsburg
Mr.. Corey, who is 80 years old has grown
up in the steel business, as did Mr. Schwab.
Like Mr.. Schwab. he started in the Brad
dock mills, and from there followed Mr.
Schwab to Homestead, and. still following
Mr.. Schwap, he served with the Edgar
Thomson Iron Works and finally with
the Carnegie Steel Company Mr.. Corey
has been president Of the Carnegie Steel
Company. which is easily the most inn
portant subsidiary company of the United
States Steel Corporation, since Mr.. Schwab
resigned the same post. Once more Mr..
Corey. who has had no direct connection
with the United States Steel Corporation
heretofore, follows in the steps Of Mr..
Schwab in becoming the active head OF
the Steel Corporation.

JOB ON ELEVATED A CURE.
Ticket Choppins Consumptiycs Get Well.
DIR. knOpf Discovered.

While lecturing to the members of the
Summer School in Philanthropy yesterday
DR.. Lee K Frankel of the United Hebrew
Charities cited several cases to show that
tuberculosis may be cured here in the
city. The cases in question had been
brought to his attention by DR.. s. Adolphus
Knopf specialist in tuberculosis of the
lungs.
Or. Knopf believes that constant out
door life, even in the city, has the same
beneficial influence that was supposed
to come only from outdoor life in the
open country. One occupation in par-
ticular has been found by Or. knopf to
be favorable to the recovery of the con-
sumptive 1t is that OF ticket chopper on
the elevated railroad.
TO us the brightest light in the field Of
medicine kindled by these latter days
said DR.. Frankel yesterday, lis the growing
conviction that we can treat consumption
here in the city in its incipient stages
effectively.
D "Dr Knopf has told me Of a consump-
tive mon, living in a tenement in the upper
part of the city, to whom he gave outdoor
treatment with marked success. The man
was sorter' in laundry, an occupation
which, at the best, is probably not over
healthy.
"Dr. Knopf's treatment was simply to
make him live in the open air day and night
for six months The man spent the days
in Central Park and slept at night on the
roof Of the tenement. At the end Of six
months his condition was so much improved
that he could begin working again. DR..
Knopf told him that it would be sure death
for him 10 go back to his old work.
while Dr. Knopf was giving good deal
of thought to the mans needs, he was over
taken one evening by a stout, healthy
looking individual who said;
Don't you know me. doctorT
"Dr Knopf confessed that he did not,
and was then told that the man was former
patient, a consumptive, who, by chance,
had obtained place rs ticket chopper
en- the elevated railroad. and who, in few
months, had gained thirty pounds.
DIR Knopf At once attempted and sue
ceeded in getting place S ticket chopper
for the man from the laundry, and with
satisfactory results. Of course. this is not
the only occupation that offers a chance for
the sufferers of consumption, although it
seems to be peculiarly favorable
