NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE president
ial boom OF Governor Charles Il. Hughes
was launched in New York City last
night, this time at the Annual dinner Of
the Bible class presided over by John D.

once a member of the class and referred
to him as a possible occupant OF the
White House. This brought forth great
applause from the members Of the class.
The principal speaker at the dinner was
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City Bank, who spoke on
the recent financial furry The dinner
was more elaborate than the one held
last year, each member of the class pay

NEW YORK. Dec. ll,-Maj. Ahern,
head OF the forestry service of the Philip.
pine Islands is in New York for the pur.
pose OF interesting lumberman in the for.
ests OF the Philippine. Few Americans
realize the possibilities of the forests of
our possessions in the East "he said"
In the less populated islands OF the Phi
lippines there are immense forests of
hard timber that could be substituted
for the valuable woods that have be.
come scarce in Europe and America,
We have there the wood OF the Nara,
similar to the mahogany we know here;
the Yaoal wood is more beautiful than
black walnut and is used extensively for
the same purposes. Malava is light
yellow used Tor general building pur
poses, while tanguile and launa, soft
woods, are excellent substitutes for pine.
The forests of Yaoal and Malaya are
extensive enough to produce mnllions of
railroad ties, to which use their woods
are adapted.
"The government is selling no timber
lands, but is disposing of the standing
timber as fast as possible under restrc
tions against cutting small trees, and
thus providing against denuding the
land. Half OF the profits from the tim
Der sold have thus far gone to the bureau

Genuine.

NEW YORK, Dec. ll.--~'That the sign.
atures of John Milton and his third wife,
Elizabeth Milton on the fly leaf OF what
has come TO be known as the John Mil
ton family Bible" book which was sold
in New York the other day for Sl22j
are forgeries is now asserted by George
Fl. Richmond a dealer in old books and
autographs, who was the purchaser OF
the sale of the library OF VIM. H. Buckler
OF Baltimore, secretary OF the American
legation at Madrid, Spain. The book ha,
been known to collectors for many years
and has been passed upon by a number
OF Bibliophiles including Dr. w. Adds
Wright, vice master Of Trinity Coll>ge.
Cambridge, perhaps, the worlds greatest
authority on Milton and the existing re-
lies of the great poet. Soon after choo,-
ing the book Mr.. Richmond became sus
picious Of the genuineness OF the sigma
lures and submitted them to experts in
handwriting, including David n. Car.
yalho. Mr. Carvalho states positively
that the signatures are forgeres, a state
ment with which Mr. Richmond agrees.
While the date following the alleged Mi.
ton signature is 1854, the experts state
that the ink in which it is written is of
modern make. The fly leaf on which the
signatures are written has been insert
ed in the book, it is said and the paper
i OF a much more molern sort than that
which composes the rest Of the book
Elisabeth Miltons signature, the experts
say, shows plain evidence Of having been
traced. The book itself is a copy Of the
edition known as the "Breeches' Bible
so called because in the description of
the life Of Adam and Eve in the Garden
OF Eden they are said to have sewed fig
leaves together to make themselves
"breeches" instead of aprons" as the
word is translated in other editions.
