ceded thst the law will eventually need
some revision, but until IL has besn
tried and Its weak points havs been
found, congress has been 10th to make
amendments. The trip this summer
will be an object lesson to the senators

the government for $3.50, 1000. in a.

FILLS IN GAP.


President Creates New Forest He
serve In Cascades.
Washington, May 22.--The president
will soon sign a proclamation creating
the Yakima forest reserve in Kittitas
and King counties, Washington, en-
bracing nearly 1900 square miles OF
land. This reserve will include the
summit and slopes Of the Cascade
mountains and virtually all the timber
country between the Washington and
Rainier reserves.
When this proclamation Is signed
there will be one continuous reserve
following the Cascade mountains from
point few miles north OF the Column
bia clear to the British Columbia boun-
dairy.
Running through the Yakima reserve
ia the Northern Pacific land grant, en-
bracing alternate sections. These lands
will not be included, 80 the forest re-
serve will be one immense checker
board, although for practical purposes
the entire area of railroad as we'll as
public lands will be brought under the
care OF the government. The Northern
Pacific sections will be worth little to
the railroad when the reserve is Great
ed, and it is possible some plan will be
devised whereby the government can
purchase or otherwise acquire them in
order that the Yakima reserve may be-
come compact body.

CANAL POLICY UNCHANGED.
Plain Statement IL Given Out From
War Department

Washington, May %. -- The follow
ing statement was given out at the War
department tonight:
mo little amusement has been Gre
ated in the administration at Washing-
ton and among Its friends over the at
tempt 10 distort the facts about the
Panama purchases, and especially In the
attempt 10 show that under pressure
there has been an alteration in policy.
Ever since Secretary TAFT and the
Panama commission, with the presi-
dents approval, announced their in
tention, there has not been the slight
est change, and all statements to the
contrary have no Foundation whatever"
The statement seems To indicate some
difference of opinion between the pres-
ident and Secretary Taft regarding the
policy Of purchasing supplies for the
Isthmisn canal wherever they can be
secured at the lowest prices.
After the policy OF buying supplies
either ia America or abroad had been
announced, great pressure was exerted
by the stand patteys'' to have the
matter left for determination of con-
gress. Speaker Cannom was at the
White house and urged this course ON
the president. The matter was pre-
scented 10 the cabinet meeting Friday
and the subsequent intimation given
that CONCESSIONS had been made the
-protectionists to the extent that
only necessary material would be pur-
chased until an opportunity had been
given congress TO enact legislation on
the subject. This Ia now followed by
declaration from Secretary Taft that
there has been no change OF policy
There will undoubtedly be renewal
of pressure upon the president either
TO have supplies bought from American
manufacturers at increased prices or
nothing done until after assembling of
congress.

Cabinet Discusses II and President
Receives Statements.

Washington, May I9.--The principai
sub;ect considered today at the cabinet
meeting was the Loomis- Bowen case
No definite action was taken pending
an additional statement from Mr.. bow
en-. Just prior to the cabinet meeting
lose Paul, a representative OF Vene1u-
ella in this country, called at the White
house and bad talk with the presi-
dent regarding the case 1t is said tnat
Mr.. Paul is familiar with the transac-
tons involving the exchange OF cheek
by Mr.. LOOMS with the Asphalt com
pany at the time the former was United
States minister at Caracas.
During the cabinet meeting Mr.. BOW
en- called at the White house, and,
through Secretary Loeb, sent note 70
Secretary Taft. The note simply indi-
Gated the presence at the executive
offices OF Senior Pastro y Mora, friend
of Mr.. Bowen, who the minister desired
should talk with the president and Mr..
Taft. Soon after Senior Mora had a
conference with the president and MI
Taft, lasting some time. Senior Mora
did not disclose the details OF the inter-
view, but it is known that, having at
one time been connected with the as
phalt company in Caracas, he was en-
abled to throw some light on the pres
ent situation. When Mr.. Taft left the
White house he said that no determ-
nation OF the case had been reached,
and none would be until all the facts
from both sides had been developed.
He indicated this might take several
days.
Mr.. Bowen today filed with Mr.. Taft
his statement in reply to Assistant Sec
rotary Loomis charges and also bearing
on the charges against Mr.. LOOMS
which he transmitted to the officials
here.

FERRY BOAT RUNS AWAY.
Loaded Down With Excursionists It
Smashes Into Wharf.

San Francisco, May 20.-The lives Of
over 1000 passengers, most OF whom
we're women and children on their way
to the annual picnic Of st. Dominic's
church, were endangered today by an
accident on the ferry boat Tamalpais.
Running at full speed, the boat, with
engines entirely beyond control, crashed
into the dock, ripping out piles and
woodwork and throwing the frightened
passengers into wild panic.
A break in the engine room was re-
sponsible for the accident. When the
captain gave the engineer the signal to
slow down, 100 yards from the ferry
slip, the levers gave way and the. boat
ran at full speed straight into the dock.
Realizing the impossibility of averting
crash, the officers drove the crowds
back from the forward deck and sound
ed the danger signal to attract the en-
ployes on the wharf.
The steamer struck with terrible
crash, but hawsers were thrown aboard
and, though the engines were still run
ming at full speed, the apron was low
cred and the frightened crowd rushed
ashore. Several women tainted during
the excitement.

SHOULD OBEY ALL LAWS.
Governor Folk Says Law-Breaking
Leads to Anarchy.

Leads to anarchy.
St. Louis, May 19.--Governor Folk
of Missouri, addressing the General
Baptist convention tonight, said:
missouri has an idea that means
the enforcement of law. Laws that are
not enforced add just as much to the
support OF good government as sores do
to the strength of the human body.
Law breaking has become alarmingly
common. 1t is one of the greatest
dangers that confront free government.
Many men obey the laws they like, but
think they have a political liberty to
disobey the laws that are obnoxious to
them.
1.-THE trust magnate looks with alb
florence on the pickpocket who violates
the larceny statute, but considers it
entirely right to break the laws against
combinations and monopolies. The
boodler detests the law breaking OF the
trusts but considers the law against
bribery as an infringement on his per-
sonal liberty. The dramshop keeper
regards the law against murder as good,
but the law against operating his dram
shop on Sunday, is, in his opinion,
Puritanical and typrannical.
"If each citizen were allowed to de-
termine for himself which laws are
good and which laws are bad, to ignore
the laws he considered bad, the result
would be anarchy-we would have no
laws at all. The only safe rule is that,
if the law is on the statute books, it
must be observed.
There has been too much OF making
laws to please the moral element and
then not enforcing them to please the
immoral element"

Grosvenor Says Policy is Contrary to
Protective Theory.

Washington, May 18.---The high pro-

policy of buying supplies for the canal

Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, de-
cline to be quoted. The Ohisn, 8
member of the house ways and means
committee at the time of the framingoi
the Mckinley and Dingley tariff laws,
today, in discussing the new policy,
said:
"We have built up the policy OF pro-
tective tariff in this country on the
basis of higher prices. These prices
were higher, because we paid our labor
better wages. People have been more
cognizant every year of the benefits OIL
that policy, and understand the reason
for higher prices. The country would
rather pay little more for something
that was made at home, furnished wofR
for home folk, and gave them better
pay than their more unfortunate neigh
bors abroad enjoyed"

JAPAN CONTROLS KOREA.


VI AfffR@' ~ >"
Paris, May 20. --- Reports received
here through authoritive channels rep
resent Japan as carrying things with a
high hand in Corea. Whether the re-
ports are influenced by sentiment 1t Ia
IN possible to say, but they recite
number Of specific facts supporting the
view that M. Hayashi, the japanese
minister to Corea, no longer observes
the position OF the other ministers al
Seoul. He Ia said to consider himself
sort of resident general or viceroy,
thus taking precedence over his dipio-
matte colleagues, who are Obliged 70
await his convenience in dealing with
the court and government. The gen.
eral commanding the Japanese troops Is
represented as seconding the assump-
ton OF precedence on the part OF the
japanese minister.
The official reports confirm reports
from Pekin that the Japanese recently
exerted strong pressure upon the EN-
peror OF Corea to induce him to leave
the country and go to japan with the
evident purpose of removing him as an
obstacle to the development OF Japan
csc control. The emperor is said to
have requested the departure OF the
japanese officials who had made this
representation and to have taken dis
Greet means to permit the European
government to learn Of the prospects OF
his removal. Finally, when this in
formation reached the St. Petersburg
Foreign Office, 1t issued a protest
against Japan's assumption OF control
OF the affairs OF Corea.

NO MORE LIEU SELECTIONS.


Washington, May 20. Secretary
Hitchcock, in circular issued today to
registers and receivers OF local land
offices, holds that congress meant what
1t said when. by the act OF March 8,
1905, 10 absolutely repealed the lieu
land law. With the exception OF own
ers OF certain lands in the San Francis
co and Grand Canyon reserves in Ari-
zona and the Santa Barbara reserve,
California, who are specifically provid-
cd for by special act, the secretary
holds that all right to make lieu selec-
tions expired March last and local
land officers are advised that they are
without authority to accept relinquish-
menta of lands within forest reserves
after that date and allow the selection
of other lands In exchange therefor
The secretary says, however, that all
lieu selections made prior to ard pend
ing for adjudication ON March 8, 1905,
may be perfected and patented and, If
in the adjudication OF any selection
then pending, the same should be held
invalid for any reason not the fault of
the party making the same, another se-
lection for like quantity Of land may
be- made In lieu thereof.
