$50 FOR DEGRADING
 AMERICAN FLAG
PUT NATIONAL EN- ELEM ON BEER BOTTLES AP- PEAL CASE TO THE U. S. sU- PREME COURT.

Washington, March 4.-rhat the states may pass laws prohibiting the use of the flag of the United States for advertising purposes was declared by the supreme court of the United States today in decld- ing the case of Nicholas V. Halter and Henry V. Hayward, coming to the court from the supreme court of Nebraska. Hal ter and Hayward are engaged in the liquor business in Omaha, and were prosecuted under the law of the state on charges of selling beer in bottles decorated with na- tional colors.
 They were fined $50 each atrson appeal to the state supreme court the verdict was sustained. They admitted all the facts charged, but pleaded the unconstitutional ity of the law. In the course of his opin- ion Justice Harlan upheld the right of the state to protect the Tag. the emblem of the nations power, against the indls- nitles. He said that the use of the flag as an advertisement on beer bottles cheapens and degrades it. and the court was unwilling to hold that legislation pro- hibiting such a use of the national colors is an abridgement of personal rights as contemplated by the national constitutions. Justice Peckham dissented.

CREATES FOREST
 RESERVATIONS RooSeveIt's Proclamation Adds Seventeen Million Acres MEMORANDUM Is PUBLIC Thirty-two Forest Reservations Are Made or lncreased-Would Be
 Dissipated Before Con-
 gress Could Act.
MEMORANDUM IS PUBLIC

Washington. March 4-Seventeen million acres of forest lands have been added to the forest reserves of the United States by proelamations issued by President Roosevelt made public today. Thirty-two forest reservations arc created or in- creased in area, by these proelamations. The following memorandum bearing on the subject was made public at the White House today:
 ''These forest reserves was determined upon and the preparation of the necessary papers ordered some months ago-two- thirds of the cases some years ago-in the exercise of the duty imposed upon me by act of Congress of March 3, 1891. The utmost care and deliberation have been exercised in deciding upon the boundaries of the proposed reserves; in all but very few cases long continued and detailed field examinations have been made, and in the remainder examinations amply suf- ficient to justify the proposed action.
 "The necessary proclamations under ex- isting law now comes before me, and the question is presented whether I should refrain from acting under the existing law because there is now under consideration by Congress a proposal to change the law so as to require congressional action upon the establishing of such forest reserves. If did not act, reserves which l consider very important of the interests of the United States would be wholly or in part dissipated before Congress has had an op- portunity again to consider the matter while under the action which l propose to take they will be preserved. and if Com eress differs ffoiii 3h la.fias ae.lon it will have full opportunity h. the future 10 take the dscontinuance of the reserves by af- finatve action. taken with the fullest opportunity for considering the subject by itself and on it's own merits. If by any chance land more valuable for other pur poses than forest reserves is shown to have been included in those reserves, l shall forthwith restore it to entry.
 Failure on my part to sign these pro- clamatons would mean that immense tracts of valuable timber would fall into the hands of the lumber syndlcates be- fore Congress- has an opportunity 10 act, whereas the creation of the reserves means that this timber will be kept in the interest of the homemaker. for our entire purpose in this forest reserve policy is to keep the land for the benefit of the actual settlers and homemakers, to fur ther his interests in every way. and while using the natural resources of the coun- try for the benefit of the present genera ton also to use them in such manner as to keep them unimpaired for the benefit of the children now growing up to inherit the land. This Is the final and exclusive object, not merely of our forest policy, but of our whole public land policy.

 GO TO JURY TODAY
BROTHER-IN-LAW OF DEFEND ANTS CORRECTS FORMER TESTl- MoNY-WiNDOW NOT CLOSED WHEN BYWATERS WAS SHOT.

Cnlpeper, Va, March 4.-Twenty-four hours hence the case of James and Phillip Strother, charged with the murder of William F. Bywaters, their brother in-law, will have gone to the jury. This was the situation at the close of today S session of court, when in extended ar gument both prosecution and defense had upheld their responsive contentious as to the guilt or innocence of the de- fendants.
 At the morning session the jury heard Edward l.. Gaines, brother-in-law of the defendants, admit certain discrepancies in his testimony given before the coro- ners jury. He explained that these discrepancies were due to an "excit- able, nervous nature,' and that his mem ory may have been faulty when he tes- tlfed at the inquest. MT. Gaines was called by the prosecution with tho in- tention of rawin1 from him certain in- formation as to whether or not the win dow in Mrs. Viola Bywaters bedroom, through which Bywaters Is claimed by the defense to have been fieeting when he was shot. was open or closed on the night of the tragedy. He admitted that the window was closed but qualified his statements by saying that It may nave been opened by Bywaters when he (Galnes) left the bedroom to go to the lower floor. He declared that Bywaters leaped through the window without in terrupton, indicating that the window had been open. as has been stoutly con- tended by the defendants.
 Judge Grimsley. an uncle of Bywaters: Mrs. Bessie Tripett the dead mans sis ter and James Clark. his colored driver. were put on the stand but their testi- mony vas objected to by the defense, and the objections were sustained.
 Judge Harrison stated at adjournment that his charge to the Jury would be delivered some time tomorrow.
