By Henry Clay Pierce, the Head of
the Waters Pierce Oil Co., Who is
Now Under Indictment-Govern
Campbell Is In Earnest

Austin, Texas, Nov. 6.-Governo-
Campbell, OF this state, today created
a tremendous sensation by publicly
charging that Henry Clay Pierce, OF
St. Louis, Mo, the head of the Wa
ters- Pierce Oh Company, now I'M
der indictment IN this state, tried to
bribe him.
1t will be remembered that Pierce
whom Texas officers went to ST.
Louis TO serve summons on to ap-
pear before the legislative COMMITTEES
when Bailey was being tried, hid
himself and never appeared before
that body
Governor Campbell also denounc-
ed Pierce as a fugitive from justice
and said he would bring him back to
Texas if he had to cover the globe
TO find him.
The Governor was very much in
earnest IN his statements and showed
that he meant what he said about
Pierce.
Attorney Davidson filed custer
suits against six oil companies to-
day, charging them with being a part
of the Standard Oil Co. Trust and
the Supreme Court granted an iunc-
ton forbidding them removing any
records from the state.

TIMBER SUPPLY IS
NEARING THE END
Twenty Years VIII Exhaust the
Woodlands if the Present Rate of
Cutting Continues

Washington; Nov ON twenty
years the timber supply in the United
States, on Government reserves and
private holdings, atthe present rate
of cutting, will be exhausted.
This announce ment was made to-
day by Clifford Pinchot, the Govern
nent forester, who has just returned
from a six months inspection trip on
which he Travelled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning Mr.. Pin
chot urged that the danger of the
situation should not be understand
ed He said that the United States
uses more timber per capita than any
other country and that every man,
woman and child would be affected.
He decried the policy Of discounting
the future Of the country by failure
to protect the natural resources and
he advises everyone who has not al
ready done so, to read President
Roosevelt"s speech at Memphis on
this general subject.
About one-ifth of the forest area
of the country is in Government re-
serves, but Mr. Pinchot called atten-
ton to the fact that as privately own
ed timberlands are better than the
Government reserves, as general
rllc, the Government does not cou-
troll one-hfth of the timber supply
The forest service will ask Congress
for more money and more men III
order TO extend the service and will
push the work of reforesting the de
nuded timber lands
President Roosevelt expects to call
conference in Washington shortly
of Governors of States and experts
in the study of natural resources
! The conference will be for the pur-
pose Of developing sentiment in fav-
or of the Administrations policy Of
/ looking into the future and into the
matter Of conserving the natural re
sources, such as timber, coal, oil ard
gas and the various minerals.
