MINING ON RESERVES
Forestry Officials Will Aid All
Legitimate ProSpectors.
ARE No RESTRICTIONS
Real Miners to Get Protection Against
Kid Glove Prospectors.

The subject Of mining on forest |
reserves received great deal of
attention at the meetings Of the
forestry service officials held at
Boise in connection with the irri-
cation congress.
Supervisor Fem stated just be-
fore leaving for the Sawtooth re-
serve with Che chief of the SER
vice, Clifford Pinchot, that mining
on the reserves, instead of being
discouraged, would be encouraged
in every way, possible, states one
report. There are absolutely no
restrictions except the removal
of timber from the reserves for
speculative purposes. Prospect
ors have the same right to pros
pect and develop mines within
forest reserves. that they have
without them. :.
Legitimate projectors will not
only be encouraged" he contin-
ued, 'r.but they will be, protected
against kid glove prospectors.
For instance. if a ledge of min
eral is discoYefed within the linn
its of p reserve where there is no
timber, no one will be permitted
to make a mineral filing on the
nearby tract that contains timber,
with the purpose of forcing the
legitimate locator to buy such
timber for Use in developing his
claim. In such cases the forestry
reserve will protect the first man
in his rights"
At the various meetings held,
the question Of securing the re-
peal or modification of section a
of the act of February 18, 1905,
which worked a great hardship
on miners without securing any
corresponding benefits to the
service occupied much attention.
The matter was introduced by
Mr.. Fem, and data was present

ANSWER OF OPERATORS
 WILL BE MADE TO-DAY
PRESIDENT MITCHELL IS PRE- PARED FOR 4 COUNTER
 PROPOSITION.

Report That They Have Decided to Ac-
 cept Arbitration but in a Radically
 Different Form From That Offered by
 the Miners--NIay Ask Coal Workers
 to Agree to the Strike Commission
 ReOpening the Case to Take Up New
 Differences-SOme Members of Latter
 May Not Serve if Asked.
 New York, April S.-Some of the members of the shamokin scale com- mittee of thirty-six, to which has been entrusted the work of conferring with the anthracite coal operators in the matter of the differences that exist be- tween the mine workers and their em- ployers, returned to this city to-day, and tonight they informally discussed plans for tomorrow. The remaining members of the committee will be here tomorrow in time to receive & report from it's subcommittee in case the lat ter finds it necessary to submit one The subcommittee will meet the oper- ators Monday afternoon to receive the answer of the mine owners to the ar bitration proposition made by the men last week.
 President Mitchell and his associates now in the city have taken cognizance of the report that the operators may refuse the miners offer and present a counter-proposition to the effect that a board of arbitration be appointed ao as- certain if there are any new questions on which the mine owners and the men differ. The union leaders have been looking into this phase of the question and are preparing to meet such coun- proposition, if made.
 The miners claim there are many new grievances which arose out of the award of the anthracite coal-strike commission, and which have not been settled to the satisfaction of the men. It is quite certain, however, that the miners committee will insist upon a settlement of old grievances, along with uAiS tAAI AieNy bC iOuHu IO uG IltW.
 No information was obtalnable to- day to accurately indicate what stand the operators will take tomorrow. It is known they have carefully gone over the arbitration plan proposed by Mir. Mitchell and 1t is said they have decid- ed to accept arbitration, but in a radi- cally different form from that offered by the miners. That the operators will ask the coal workers to agree upon the strike commission to reopen the case or take up new differences Is not improb- able. If the commission is again asked to take up the dispute 1t is not likely that all the members will consent to serve.

LODGES SECRETARY
 SURRENDERS HIMSELF
CHARGED WITH EMBEzzLEM OF $2e5 CAMPAIGN CON-
 TRIBUTIOM

'Ohn h' Bestgen Declares He Gave This
 Sum and Was Promised Aid by the
 Recipient in Obtaining ConsuIsbin No Record of Amount Appears on
 the Books of the Republican State
 Committee of Massachusetts.
 Boston, April S.-Robert G. Proctor private secretary of United States Sem ator Henry Cabot Lodge, for whose ar- rest on the charge of embezzlement warrant was issued yesterday. surren- dered himself at police headquarters to-day MT. Proctor was immediately released on $500 bail.
 The warrant was issued yesterday after the grand jury had made dts re- port. The specific charge is that Proc tor embezzled $225 belonging to John E- Bestgen of Quincy in October. 1904. Bestgen alleged that he gave Proctor the money as republican campaign contribution, and that Proctor prom ised to aid him in obtaining a consult ship. 1t Is further alleged that no rec ord of this sum appears upon the books Of the republican state committee, and that 1t has not been included in the returns of the campaign contributions.
 Proctor came to this city from Wash ington last Thursday when the case was called to the attention of the grand jury, but as he was not summoned to appear he returned to the capital. When the report of the grand jury was made yesterday, 1t was understood that there were several secret indictments returned, among them being one against Proctor Upon advice Of his counsel Proctor immediately left Washington for Boston, and arrived here last night. To-day he appeared at police headquarters, and gave hinselt up to the authorities. State Senator Danel A. Lane, and Surveyor of the Port Jeremiah J. McCarthy furnished bonds of $500 for his release. Proctor will be arraigned tomorrow. At a meeting at the state house last week, l District Attorney John B. Moran ac- | cused Proctor of receiving funds for republican campaign purposes from | John G. Bestgen, for which contribu- | tion, MT. Moran claimed, no accounting had been made. Proctor admitted raS ceiving this contribution, but denied | promising Bestgen consulate, and claimed to have turned the money oven to the republican state committee. District Attorney Moran announced a few days ago that he had gone over the records of the state committee, and in no place could he find any contrt- buttons credited to either Bestgen or Proctor. Major Thomas Talbot, chair man of the republican state committee, declared, it is said, that he had no knowledge of the contribution. The district attorney thereupon presented the case to the grand jury, and the re- publican state committee were sum moned as witnesses.
 Proctor is forty years old, is married, and has a voting residence at Quincy. For many years he has been associated with Senator Lodge. In 1904 he was a delegate to the republican convention.

NE. CHURCH FRIEND OF LABOR
Bishop McCabe Makes Declaration Be-
 fore Conference.


 New York, April S.-In the course of his sermon before the New York East conference in the New York Avenue M. E. church, Brooklyn, to-day, the Rev. Charles C. McCabe, D. D.. presiding bishop of the conference, referred to the attitude of the Methodist church toward labor.
 Telling of the building of Solomon's Temple by SO,0OO men, the bishop said that $500 of these were overseers. "They were the right kind of walking delegates" he said. "These men were walking delegates who saw that their companions did a proper share of their work. How would it have been had these walking delegates told the other 76,0OO that if they did not join the union they would have no hand in rear ing the great temple?
 T received a letter this morning from man who wanted to know whether the Methodist Episcopal church was a friend of labor. I want to answer that question fairly. We are the friends of labor--of every man and woman who earns his or her living by the sweat of their faces And any one who is not friend of one hundred per cent. of the working people is not a friend of any of them. I say this for the church, be- cause it has said nothing for itself.'

LYNCHING PREVENTED.
Goodness of Meridian College Teacher
 Does the Job.

Meridian, Miss, April S.-The cool ness of Professor J. F. Beeson, of the Meridian college, prevented the lynch ing of a negro who shot Branscombe Farmer, a street-car conductor, early this morning. A mob of not less than one hundred men and boys had located the negro at the college, where he has been employed, and prepared to make an attack. Professor Beeson secreted the negro and argued the mob into dis persing by promising to deliver the ne- gro to the police on Monday. The shooting occurred over the refusal of the negro to pay fare for a twelve year-old boy who accompanied him on the car. The conductor, it is believed, will recover.

WORTHY OF IMITATION
Innovations in American Courts Recom-
 mended for Germany.

Berlin, April 8.-Judge Adolf Hart mann of Berlin, who was the German representative at the St. Louis con- gress of lawyers and who spent fifteen months travelling in the United States In order to study court proceedings and American legal institutions, has just published an exhaustive treatise on American law with practical sugges- tions for the reform in German court procedure which is scheduled for the next decade. Judge Hartmann says he found many innovations in the United States of which he recommends limited imitation in Germany, like conditional sentences delayed during good behav- for and children's courts. He also found that American laws sometimes anticipate ideas which German reform CTS have been vainly striving to real iZe

SUNDAY ELECTIONS IN MOSCOW
Continuation of VeritabIe whirIwind
 Campaign.

Moscow, April S.-The Moscow mu- nicipal election, held to-day, was the culmination of veritable whirlwind canvass. The result is not yet known, as the votes will not be counted until tomorrow, Last night meetings were held in all the available public halls and in the streets. The best orators of the constitutional democrats, including Professor Paul M. Miliukoff, M. Hessen and others, came from St. Petersburg and hundreds of speeches were made The Octoberists made fervid appeal to the voters not to choose constitu- tional democrats, majority for whom, they declared, would mean the ruin and division of Russia. The vote to-day was the heaviest ever cast here. Up to o'clock over S0,00O of the 10000 regis tered electors had voted. There was much excitement at many polling places, orators making speeches throughout the day. The monarchist workers, pointing to the crosses on the churches, appealed to the voters not to convert the churches into synagogues by electing Judophiles. Many women peddled tickets,
 The constitutional democrats appear ed to have the better of it in the voting and claim victory, but the Oetoberists and conservatives made a desperate fight.

 Voliva then told the audience of the "deplorabe" conditions he found at Zion City when he arrived month ago from Australia and took up the man agement of Zion's interests at Dowie S command. The speaker did not mince words but spoke bluntly of the "perfidy of John Alexander Dowie"
 When most bitter in the denuncia- tion of his former master there was no one in the tabernacle who showed more

 by the Steam Traw1er Spray.
 Yarmouth, Ms, April S.-With the five survivors of the well-known tern 'coasting schooner w. ID. & w. l.. Tuck. knocked down and abandoned off Cape Sable last Thursday, who were landed here to-day by the American steam trawler Spray, there was brought ashore the body of Charles Wilstead, the steward of the vessel, who perish- ed in the ships long boat after many hours of exposure. The others also suffered intensely as they were all thinly clad because of their hasty es- cape from the vessel as she rolled over.
 The Spray picked them. up yesterday afternoon, and landed them here this morning
 The w. E. & W. L. Tuck sailed from Bridgewater, N. S., for New York with load of lumber the first of the week, and had a good trip uptil Thursday, when she passed Cape Sable. After getting from under the lee of the Nova Scotia shore, a succession of heavy northwest squalls were encountered, as we'll as a heavy sea.
 Thursday afternoon a squall consider ably harder than the others struck the vessel and buried her to the rails. Before the helmsman could put the wheel down the vessel was too far over to right herself. One of the crew ran for an axe, but before he could reach the weather rigging the Tuck was fiat and the masts and sails were in the water.
 The entire crew of six men found themselves struggling in the water but were. greatly surprised when, as the squall went by, the Tuck was seen tc rght herself, The men hauled them selves aboard but found ther vessel waterlogged, and they were unable to obtain either food or clothing. As the vessel was in great danger of being thrown down again by squall, the men decided to take the long boat In that little craft they remained foI two days without food, water or any. thing to protect them from the bitins wind Steward Wilstead, who was 1T the galley at the time the vessel went over, wore less clothng than any ol the others. Every effort was mae bN his companions to keep him alive, bu he died late Friday nght, after many hours of intense suffering.
 Saturday afternoon the new stean trawler Spray, which had left Bostor early in the day, sighted the survivors The rescue was accomplished witt considerable difficulty, during whicl Captain Milnell of the Spray was bad | ly cut, but pluckily remained at hi' post until all the five men and the body of the unfortunate steward were safe. l ly on board.
 The accident to the Tuck took place ninety miles southwest from Cape Sa' | ble, and from a dispatch receive here tonight from Boston, stating that tho vessel had been sighted by the steam l CT Mystic, 1t is evident that the dere lict is drifting rapidly to the eastward |
