Reports are now in preparation by
the bureau Of forestry on some inter-
esting investigations that have been
carried on in South Dakota. Studies
have been made Of the best method Of
d1sposing of the beetle-killed timber in
the Black Hills forest reserve. This in
YeStigation is regarded by the bureau
as of great Importance.
? The keynote of the work of the for
estry bureau is to conserve the present
forest resources so as to insure a sup
ply of timber in the future. To this
end the bureau is trying to induce
lumbermen in the West to work their
timber tracts on plans devised by the
government, so that unnecessary de-
struction of young trees may be avoid
ed, and SO that the reforesting process
may be carried on in every district. 1t
was told some time ago in these dis
patches how the forestry bureau had
arranged with the Weyerhaeuser COM
pany for working vast tract of tim
Der land in the state of Washington
according to the plans Of the govern
ment experts The leading officials Of
the Northern Pacific railroad are also
interested in this work of the forestry

SEVERE ON POLICE
Strange Sequel Of WIIItrax
Murder Case.

CHICAGO, March s. - Millionaire
Peter Van Vlissingen has conducted
remarkable sociological experiment to
unravel a murder mystery. Mr.. Van
Vlissingen acted on the theory that
John Willtrax, although convicted, is
probably innocent Of the murder Of
four-year-old Paul Paszkowski, for
which William Willtrax was sentenced
to the penitentiary.
1t was mainly on the testimony of
ten-year- old Julius Willtrax, son of
the accused, that the defendant was
convicted. The boy confessed to the
police that his father killed the child,
testified to the murder in court and
later repudiated the testimony.
After the fathers conviction the boy
was sent to a school In which Mr.. Van
Vlissingen has been interested. 1t was
as a result of this that Mr.. Van Wis
singer began his experiment. He took
the boy to his palatial home and made
him as one Of the family. He dressed
the lad as children of the rich are
dressed and soon transformed him
mentally as well as physically from
child of the gutter to bright and in
telligent boy.
All the time Mr.. Van Vlissingen has
been trying to find out the truth of the
boys story. The lad insists that he
was forced to tell it by the police, that
the details Of the crime which he re-
lated were invented by the police, and
that he learned them by heart. It is
story of suggestion and intimidation.
After two months Of daily contact with
the boy Mr.. Van Vlissingen today de-
c1ared belief that the convicted man
is innocent Friends of Willtrax for
some time have been endeayoring to
secure for him a new trial.. 1t is now
believed that this will be granted and
that the boy will be an important wit

WOULD FOIL THE
LAND CRAFTERS
Secretary Hitchcock's True
Reason for Large Forest
Reserve Withdrawals.
Globe Special Washington Service,
1417 G Street.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
Some of the senators and representa-
tives from Western states have been
complaining to the president against
the large Withdrawals of lands which
have been made within the last year
for the purpose Of creating forest re-
serves. In the first place the COM
plants were made chiefly on the
ground that the forest reservations in
cluded large tracts of land which were
almost timberless and which were val
liable for farming purposes. 1t was ar
gued that these tracts should be thrown
open to settlement.
Later, however, complaints were
made against the whole system Of for
est reservations, it being said that le-
Ultimate industry was being interfered
with. Senator Hepburn, Of Idaho, is
pne OF those who have made complaints
of that kind to the president and to
the interior department. President
Roosevelt, however, is in strong SYM
pathy with the forestry bureau, and he
Is not inclined to subscribe to the view
that too much forest land is being in
Guided in reservations. His argument
Is that the future lumber supply of the
country must be insured, and that the
available areas are quite sufficient for
present needs.
A funny circumstance in connection
with the Withdrawals of forest lands on
q large scale within the last year or
two is that Clifford Pinchot the chief
of the forestry bureau, fancied that he
was meeting with phenomenal success
tn securing with wholesale withdraw
ais, while it was the intention Of the
secretary Of the interior to make the
Withdrawals merely temporary and to
restore the lands after a time to the
public domain.
Directed Against Grafters.
Secretary Hitchcock's object in au-
Ghorizing the Withdrawals was to pro-
tect the public timber areas from the

II am not practicing- polygamy. I
am practicing polygamouS cohabita-
ton, which is not polygamy. Polyg-
amy is plural marriage and l have
taken no plural wives since the mani
festo of $780,"
According to dispatch from Salt
Lake City, one of President Smiths
five wives, Mrs. Edna L. Smith, ap-
proves all her husband has testified to
here.
81 am a plural wife, and I am proud
of it," she added. Il want all the world
to know am positive that the doctrine
of polygamy came to Joseph Smith, the
prophet, as a direct revelation from
God. I know this as much as l know
that 1 am a happy woman; that the
years of my life as a plural wife have
been happy years, and that have new
er once regretted the step l took in
marrying Joseph F. Smith. 1 am proud
that / am his wife and the mother Of
some of his children"
She was married to Joseph F. Smith
in the early SOS, and the same time
that her sister, Juliana, was espoused
by the Mormon leader. Smiths first
wife, Lavina A. Smith, his cousin, al
ways refused to accept the doctrine of
polygamy, declaring that it was foisted
on the Mormons for convenience. When
her husband married the Lamson sis
tiers, Edna and Juliana, the first wife
went to California and there secured
divorce. About the same time, Smith
secured church divorce from her. She
is now dead. Smith married the Lam
son sisters with one ceremony on the
same day in the endowment house.
"This inquiry about Senator Smoot
is nothing short of persecution" con-
tinued Mrs. Edna Smith. The whole
world is in arms against US, but that,
does not make us abandon what we
know to be the true gospel"
In addition to the Lamson sisters,
Smith has three other living wives.
They are: Alice Kimball Smith, Sarah
E. Smith and Mary T. Smith. The last
is a niece of Apostle John w. Taylor
and the mother Of President Smiths
most youthful children. She has five
children, who range in age from a girl
Of four to boy Of twelve. Mrs. Mary
Smiths mother resides with her. Mrs.
Schwartz, the mother, is emphatic in
her expression of belief in polygamy.
