GRAZING FEE is LEGAL
Protest Of the Colorado Delegation
Did Not Have the Desired
Effect.
Especial to The Herald

Washington, Dec. 20-President
Roosevelt today advised the secretary

the regulation adopted by his depart
ment imposing grazing charges for
pasturing livestock within forest re-
serves. This action wa. taken with
especial reference to the protest made
by a comm ttee from the Cattle Grow
ers association which waited on the
president Saturday last accompanied
by the Colorado representatives in
congress. Senator Patterson of the
delegation filed a brief with the presi-
dent, cOntending that the proposed i'm
position of Il grazing fee was Illegal
and not within the province of the gov
eminent to enforce IT without addition
al legislation. The president conferred
with the attorney general and as re-
suit of the conference, announced that
he cOncurred in the latter's opinion,
that the imposition Of 4 charge for
grazing within the reserves IS legal and
proper
It is his belief that the charge Of q
moderate grazing fee is just and right,
and he is convinced that the agricul-
tural department is making a special
effort not only to give the range great
or value TO stockmen than ever before.
but also to foster home building in
every possible point and protect the
interests of small stOckmen. Taken
altogether. he believes that the grazing

Rogers referred TO the papers in the
original action brought by Mrs. Dodge
for divorce from Charles 4. Dodge.
The judgment roll, while not artis-
tically made up" he said. contains all
Abe papers that go TO make a valid
decree of divorce. and the marriage was
duly dissolved, and under the record
Mrs. Dodge was entitled 10 re-mar-
riage. She did so and as the wife Of
Charles W. Morse lived happily with
her husband until August 1903, when
Captain James T. Morse of Boston,
for reasons best known to himself, con-
ceived the idea Of breaking up the
marriage that had taken place between
his nephew and Mrs. Dodge. Captain
Morse had no right to interfere, but
he went about the breaking up of the
marriage, and in doing so engaged
