porations which acquire ominous power through an unchecked control of these prime necessities of modern life. con- trol without supervision of any kind We are consuming our forests three times faster than they are being reproduced Some of the richest timber lands of this continent have already been destroyed and not replaced. and other vast areas are on the verge of destruction. Yet for ests, unlike mines, can be so handled as to yield the best results of use without exhaustion. just like grainfields.
 | Our public lands, whose highest use is to supply homes for our people, have been and are still being taken in great quan- titles by large private owners, to whom home making Is at the very best but a secondary motive. subordinate to the de- sire for profit. To allow the public lands to be worked by the tenants of rich men for the profit of the landlords, instead Of by freeholders for the livelihood of their wives and children. is little less than a crime against our people and our insti- tutions. We are face to face with the great fact that the whole future of the nation is directly at stake in the momen- tous decision which Is forced upon us Shall we continue the waste and destruc- ton of our natural resources, or shall we conserve them? There is no other ques- tfon of equal gravity now before the | nation.
 The president then talked of the Pan- anna canal and its connection with the development of the Mississippi and re- peated his plea made at St. Louis and Cairo for great fighting navy to pro- tect the Panama canal and enforce the Monroe doctrine. The one intolerable position for self respecting nation, as for self respecting man, is to bluff and then not be able to make good" he said. The president continued:
 Such questions as the upbuilding and maintenance of the United States navy. the completion of the Panama canal in accordance with the plans now being car ried out and the improvement of the Mississippi river are not party questions. 1 I am striving to accomplish what I can in such matters as these because the well fare of the nation imperiously demands the action that I am taking. It is action in the interest of all the people, and the need for it will be as great long after 1 have passed out of public life as 1t is now. On these great points that I have mentioned, as on others I could mention, from the standpoint of the nauon the pol icy Is everything, while It Is Of little im- portance who carries 1t out so long as it actually is carried out. Therefore hope you will see to 1t, according to your best endeavor, that the policy Is accepted as permanent, as something to be persevered in because of the interest of the whole people and without regard to any possi- ble political changes.

the stills on the track. | didn't want to
wreck the train. but intended to pull
the stills away In time, make myself a
hero and get back my old job on the
railroad"
This confession was wrung from John
Cosgrove, of ~Pottsgrove, on the Phila-
delphia and Reading railway, by Po-
liceman John L. Bury, of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron force.
Jacob Entman, a farmer residing
his slumbers by a knock at his door,.
Upon investigation he found Cosgrove,
pale n nervous walking about inn
patiently. Inquiries elected the infor-
nation that a passenger train was
about due. and a pile of stills on the
track meant destruction should it dash
into them before they were removed.
Being suspicious, Entman secured his
gun n commanded Cosgroye to march
before him. Arriving at the railroad,
Entman was Mortified to find that Cos
groves information was correct, and
that enough stills had been placed across
h track to a terrible disaster.
The farmer leveled his weapon at
Cosgroye and commanded him to re-
the obstruction. Working with
feverish haste, the last sill was just
dre eyed from the track when the train,
Numbered by.

CAUGHT BY PRETTY
SLEUTHS IN WIGS
Two Brooklyn Dentists Accused
OF Practicing Illegally by
Women Detectives.

New York, July 1.-Two pretty
young women in the employ OF the
New York State Dental association
have been running down dentists who
are alleged to have practiced Illegally
in Brooklyn and preyed upon the
credulity of the poor. Their abundant
tresses cleverly disguised by wigs, Miss
Belle m and her associate, Miss
Annie Murray, secured evidence which
led yesterday to the arrest of two den
lists charged with being minus state
II n unregistered in Kings
county.
The two-George Romnow, of No. S63
Watkfn street, n Samuel Slavtn, of
No. 1853 Stone avenue-were arrested
by detectives of the Brownsville police
station. Both were held by Magistrate
Hylan, in the New Jersey avenue po-
lice court, in $500 bail each for exam
nation on July II. They protested
their innocence.
Miss Como, who lives at No. $40
street, Manhattan, Is said to be one Of
the best women detectives in the
country. She is a dashing young wom-
an with much charm of manner. With
her associate, Miss Murray, she APP
pears as the complainant in both cases.
Recently the Dental association de-
termined to clear the great many
alleged fake dentists who, it is alleged.
have invaded the poorer sections Of
Brooklyn. Some time ago Mrs. Annie
Winneck, of Nc. 125 Osborn street, paid
$36 for gold bridgework. She didn't
know what allied her stomach until a
physician told her that the strange
taste in her mouth came from the poi
sonous properties Of pure brass. Other
similar cases have been reported.
When instructed by the Dental as
ISOLATION to secure evidence against
the lawbreaking dentists at any cost,
Miss Como and her companions donned
shabby raiment, put on wigs costing
$25 each and affected a decrepit APP
pearance. They entered suspected
places, had their teeth examined, they
say, and in several cases had the dem
lists do some minor work for them.

charged, to cause yesterdays arrests

PRICE OF DIAMONDS !.

South African companies which supply

Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd. the So
called diamond trust, has increased its
dividends. At the same time the Pre-,

idend.
The Premier company contends that
1t could pay a big divident If it did
not prefer to use the money In other
ways. Representatives of the two
companies have been comforting and
this has given rise to reports that the
control Of the diamond market Is at
stake, and that a long expected fight
between the w companies. which may
affect prices, is a possibility of the near
future.

board will be able to determine denn-
itely what ignited the powder.
Two theories are entertained. One
belief is that a spark from the dis
charge of the guns floated back into
the turret through a gun port and set
tied onto the powder case. Another
theory is that the spark that caused
the trouble came from the smokestacks
OF the ship and f1oated through the gun
ports.
That a floating spark caused the ac-
cident seemed evident to several men,
but whether from ammunition or a fun
mel furnished a topic for discussion.
Several incidents were told of the
GOODNESS and heroism of some of the
men just after the explosion. Chaplain
Charlton was the first officer to reach
the turret. The first man he reached
was Midshipman Cruise. who was ter
ribly burned. He would not lilo the
chaplain to do anything for him, but
said:
Let me alone; I am all right. Look
after those other fellows"
In one or two other cases also he
met with the same spirit of self sacri-
flee.
Flags at Half Mast.
The national colors floated at the
peak of the Georgia as she steamed
up the harbor. AS the ship made fast
to the navy yard dock the flag at the
peak was lowered and the flag at The
stern run up to the top Of the staff.
A few moments later every flag in The
yard was half masted, while the other
vessels in port also lowered their col
ors.
The crew Of the Georgia was drawn
up at attention on the forecastle, where
they remained during the brief hour
and a quarter that the battleship re-
NAMED at the yard. On the opposite
side of the pier the battleship Illinois
had her fo~recastle covered with sailors
and marines, all Of whom stood at at
tention.
A detachment of bluejackets from
the receiving ship Wabash were as
signed as a hospital corps. They
boarded the Georgia, whose crew was
confined to the ship, and brought
ashore the dead and injured and
their belongings.
AS soon as the last of the dead had
been removed from the ship prep
arations We're made for sailing. Word
had been received from Washington
ordering the ship back to the target
grounds. and tomorrow the Georgia
will resume her practice with heI
great guns.

William Thaw was far sighted
enough to be sure that these lands
would be Of enormous value some day

selling this property outright.
