II MILLION ACRES
OF TIMBER LAND
WITHDRAWN

Tremendous excitement was caused
Monday at the national capital among
members of the house and senate by
President Roosevelt's proclamation
that II million acres of timber Land IN
80 forest reserves has TO be added to
the forest reserves of the country in
the western states. The president is
sued the proclamation Just before he
signed the FultonHeyburn Amendment
providing for no more reserves or tx
tensions without an act of congress
Congressional action is designed as il
was known the president contemplated
adding large area to that already
withdrawn. When il was learned that
the president had forestalled congress
by withdrawing such vast areas, men,
bers off both houses who had supported
the Fulton amendment expressed their
rage. The president jdstifies his action
by saying that if he had not so acted
before congress could act next fall, an
enormous area Of timber land would
have been gobbled by the timber syn
dicates.
Senator Hepburn was Jointly inter-
ested with Senator Fulton, so he has
been defeated to great extent in at
tanning the object for which he has
striven for the past two years.

IDAHO KIDNAPPING
Congress Asked to Lock Into Meyer
aywood-Pettibcne Case.

Washington-Organized labor has
asked congress to institute an inves-
tigation into all OF the facts and cir
cumstances attending the arrest in
Colorado Of Charles H. Meyer, Will
lam d. Haywood and George +. Petit
bone, officers of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, and their deportation
to Idaho to stand trial on the charge
Of completely in the murder Of ex-
Governor Steunenberg.
To that end Senator Carmack has
introduced a petition signed by hun
dreds Of workingmen and citizens, and
also had printed in the records the dis
tice McKenna to the opinion Of the
supreme court of the United States,
that the court could not inquire into
the circumstances surrounding the al
legged kidnapping of the three men.
Senator Hepburn then secured an
order for the printing of the majority
opinion of the court.
The petition asked for the enact
ment OF such laws and measures as
may be required to redress the griev-
GUS wrongs committed against Meyer
Haywood and Pettibone, and to safe
guard and protect the citizens of this
country from legalized kidnapping and
deportations by administrative order
in the future"
The fact that these men had not
been in Idaho for several years prior
to the time they were arrested for
completely in the Steunenberg murder
is recited
1t is declared that the decision OF
the supreme court that it could not in
quire into the alleged conspiracy OF
the governors of Idaho and Colorado,
legalizes the crime of kidnapping and
puts in the hands of corporate inter
ests power by which they may lay
hands upon citizens of any state, teal
them from their homes and firesides
deport them to another state anC
thrust them into prison, there to re
main without trial for months or years
thus depriving citizens of their righr
to life and liberty without due process
Of law.
