The Timber Supply.

Every person in the United
States is using over six times as
much wood as he would use ii he
were IN Europe. The country as
whole consumes every year be-
tween three and four times more
wood than all of the forests Of the
United States grow in the mean
time. The average acre Of forest
lays up store of only 10 cubic
feet annually, whereas it ought to
be laying up at least 30 cubic
feet in order to furnish the pro
ducts taken out OF it. Since 1880
more than 700,0 900, 00O, 900 feet of
timber haye been cat for lumber
alone, including so, 900, 600, 600
feet of coniferous timber in excess
of the total coniferous stumpage
estimate of the Census IN 1880.
These are some of the remark
able statements made in Circular
81 OF the Forest Service, which
deals with the timber supply of
the United States and reviews the
stumpage estimates made by all
the important authorities. A
study of the circular must lead
directly to the conclusion that the
rate at which forest products in
the United States have been and
are being consumed is far too
lavish, and that only one result
can follow unless steps are prompt
lv taken to prevent waste in use
and 10 increase the growth rate of
every acre of forest in the Uuited
States. This result is timber
famine, This country is to-day
in the same position with regard
to forest resources as was Germany
$50 years ago. During this
period of 150 years such German
States as SaxonY and Prussia,
particularly the latter have APP
piled policy of government con d.
troll and regulation which has i'm
mensely increased the productivity
of cir forests. The same policy
will achieve even better results in

DeIirious Father Snatehes Infant in
His Arms and Runs from Pur-
suing Police Until Lost
in the City

Raving in the delirium Of drink and
clutching his 6-months-old child in his
arms, ]. G. Lewis escaped from the
custody of friends in Artesia early last
night and was sought in Los Angeles
by the police all night without success.
The man was known to have been
crazed with liquor and fears are enter
tanned for the child.
Lewis is the proprietor Of a livery
stable in Artesia, and returned home
yesterday afternoon under the influence
Of liquor. He became violent and neigh
bors went to the house to aid the fam
lily in subduing him. Awaiting an op-
portunity, he seized the child and ran
from the house. His escape was no
ticed a moment later, but not until he
had gained fully a block start of the
two men who pursued him. Still rum
ming he flung himself on the platform
of moving car bound for Los Angeles.
The men in pursuit ran to telephone
and called the sheriff'S office. A deputy
was sent to meet the car, but when 1t
arrived the conductor said the man
had left the car with the child at Ninth
and Tennessee streets. The city de-
tectives' headquarters were notified and
two men were sent to the place where
the man was last seen. He was traced
toward the downtown district and thL
last trace of him showed that he still
carried the child. Through neighbors
who followed the car to the city the
whereabouts of a number of the man's s
old time haunts were learned, but no
trace of him could be found in any of
these places. He was bareheaded and
without coat or vest when he left home.
The child is baby girl named Rose.

HOLY LAND CALAIS
GROWN IN LOS ANGELES

One of the most remarkable speci-
mems of floral culture seen in Los An
geles recently is a black Gala lily,
grown by Mrs. I. N. Wilson of 12S
South Vine street, Hollywood.
Two years ago the bulbs of the
strange lily were brought to Mrs. Will
son from Palestine and since that time
she has nursed them tenderly and
given them every possible care. Her
efforts have Just been rewarded by
kind ever seen in this vicinity.
The blossom looks much like other
lilies except as to color. Instead of
the yellow stamen of the white Gala
lily the stamen is black and longer than
that seen in the ordinary Gala. The
lily is not as broad as the white Gala
and little longer. One of the blos-
SONS is on exhibition at The Herald.
Mrs. Wilson now has nine bulbs,
which she considers almost priceless.

POLYCLOT OATHS
BRING ARREST
Man Insists in Several Languages
That New Automohurryup Is
BIankety-BIank and Is
Promptly Pinched

Sighting remarks passed on the po-
lice departments new automobile an6
incidentally on it's drivers were the
cause of the arrest of Rita Espinosa
last night. Espinosa Is a linguist, and
when the machine frightened him by a
raucous toot as 1t rounded the corner
of First and Broadway, he cursed II
in several different tongues. He ex-
hausted his repertoire of mellifuouS
Spanish cuss words without effect, but
when he fell into a line of sulphurous
Anglo-Saxon, Driver Roy Allen was
interested.
Allen is proud of the new machine
and it grieved him to have unkind re-
marks made about 1t.
He stopped quickly and running
back where the man stood listened re-
gretfully as he finished his anathemas
in German, French and Sanscrit.
"Is that really what you think about
it?" asked the driver.
'It is" replied the man, and l also
think this"
Some of the remarks were given an
unpleasant personal application to the
two drivers and the man was suddenly
boosted into the car and whizzed back
to the station.
He insisted that there was an ex-
tenuating circumstance in the fact that
he had been frightened out of his wits,
but refused to change his first estimate
of the new automobile. He was booked
on a charge of 6isorderly conduct.

CAUSE OF FIRE
Apartment House Damaged About

men Keeps Flames Un-
der Control

Crossed wires are said to have been
responsible for a fire which occurred
at 312-14 East Fourth street early last
night. The people living in the house
were plunged into darkness by the go
ing out of the lights, and at almost
the same time the excited cries of
neighbors warned them that their house
was on fire.
The building is large double frame
apartment house, owned by Mr.. Hodge
man. The fire is said to have origi-
mated somewhere in the apartments OF
BTrs.sS. Franklin, who lives on the sec
ond floor. The flames travelled up the
side of the house and under the roof,
and when the firemen arrived the
tongues of flames were creeping out in
many parts of the roof. The uncoup-
ling of a hose delayed work for a
short time, but the flames were speedi-
ly subdued.
Mrs. Franklin had been away from
home all day and arrived as the fire.
men were deluging the place with wa
ter. She became a trifle hysterical and
wanted to rush into the building, but
was prevented by an officer. The apart
ments of Mrs. Franklin and Mrs.
Isaacstein were the most badly dam
aged, but it is thought the entire loss
will not exceed $500. Mrs. Franklin
was too excited to remember how much
insurance she was carrying.

PAY VISIT TO
HOSPITAL WARD
Councils Inquiry Committee Makes a
Brief Call to Get FIrst-Hand In
formation on Institution
Under Fire

The council committee, which is in
vestigating the receiving hospital, paid
short visit yesterday to the institu-
ton on First street in order to get first
information concerning the conditions
there.
The only members present were
Messrs Wren and Wallace. They mere
ly assured themselves of conditions
shown to exist by testimony bearing on
the facilities, ventilation. cleanliness
and other features that exist there.
Last night Chairman Wren said he
was uncertain whether meeting would
be held today The committee has en-
countered so much contradictory testi-
mony that the help of some outside ply
sician may be asked in order to arrive
at the reaA facts.
The testimony adduced so far is being
weighed, Notwithstanding that all the
physicians who testified tried to gloss
over the faults of those involved under
the cloak of professional ethics.

OF STEALING DUST
Is on Trial on Charge of Taking Bits

Benches of Work.

j. Jacobs, goldsmith, was arraigned
in Justice Roses court yesterday ON a
charge of the theft of gold from the
jewelry store of Carl Enterman. 212h
South Spring street. Jacobs was ac-
cused Of having taken small bits Of
platinum and gold from the benches
OF the workmen In working hours dur
ing period extending through several
months time. At the time he was in
the employ of another jeweler, to whom
he is said to have disposed of the gold.
The case will be taken up again today.
Almost the entire afternoon was
taken up by a cross examination by
the attorney for the prosecution on the
basis of the charge being embezzle-
ment instead of larceny, which was the
charge on which Jacobs was booked
The lawyers were frequently reminded
by the court that the charge was lar
oeny rather than embezzlement, but
they continued on that line Of argu-
ment and the entire case will have
to be gone over again today.
