PINCH0T REITERATES HIS
FEAR OF TIMBER FAMINE
Government Forester Says at Present
Rate the Supply Will Be Ex-
hausted Within Twenty
Years
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-'In twenty
years the timber supply of the United
States on government reserves and private
holdings, at the present rate of cutting
will be exhausted, although 1t is possi-
BILE that the growth of that period might
extend the arrival of this time another
tive years"
This announcement was made today by
Clifford Pinchot, the government forester,
who has just returned from six months
inspection trip on which he travelled 10000
miles.
In sounding his warning Mr.. Pinchot
urged that the danger of the situation
should not be underestimated. He said
the United States uses more timber per
capita than any other country and that
every man, woman and child would be
affected.
About one-fifth of the forest area of the
country is in government reserves. but
Mr.. Pinchot called attention to the fact
that as privately owned timber lands are
better than the government reserves, as a
general rule, the government does not con-
troll one-fifth of the timber supply.
Mr.. Pinchot says however that it is
utterly beyond the possibility of the serv-
ice to meet the situation and prevent Sc
rious trouble One hope entertained is the
Appalachian forest. and an effort will be
made to protect this. and promote the
growth there.
A scheme advocated by the state for
ester of California is being watched with
a great deal of interest. Under the po-
lice powers of the state the forester is
endeavoring to protect the watersheds and
prevent private owners from devastating
these lands in such manner as will injure
irrigation of lands below.

'"The history of Christianity may be
read in the story of but few lives. 1t is
given to few men to live to see such
great results of their love as Gen. Booth
has seen. I would suggest that the rea-
son for his success is that he has
preached a vital gospel-a gospel that
takes hold of men and makes something
of them-a vitalizing influence that makes
men realize that they are allied with the
Great God.
'I consider 1t a distinct honor to intro
duce to you the greatest evangelist of
our time, the greatest preacher the world
has seen since Paul-Gen. William
Booth"

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 4.-Fast
lie brought on by too much drink Is the
reason ascribed by Chadwick M. Barclay
OF Los Angeles for his present predica-
ment. He is held on charges of passing
worthless checks in New Orleans. He

ner, $3.50 being for carrying a revolver.

lege of Cornell university. He is a tall,
well knit man, with black mustache and
thick, black hair.
For five years, he says, he worked for
the Huntington Electric company of Los
Angeles, until he severed his connection
with the firm some months ago. Barclay
admitted that he had passed the checks,
but stated that his father, D. Barclay OF
Los Angeles, had fixed UP everything
for him. AS for marrying an actress In
that city recently, he denied the accusa-
ton most emphatically.
How did you happen to register under
the name of j. C.. Jackson at the st.
Charles hotel?' the man was asked.
II had been out with two women and
when registered used the name of Jack
son because that was the name ! was
known by while 1 was with the women.
But l think 1 can get out of the
trouble all right. My father and my Wife
are coming to New Orleans tonight to
help me out, if possible. have been
drinking too much whisky, and that Is
the cause of it ALL"
Barclay admitted to detectives that he
came here from Mexico City. to which
place he went some months ago from Los
Angeles. Barclay has retained Morgan
Gilmore, a lawyer, to defend him.
About o'clock Saturday morning Bar
clay went to police headquarters and
complained that woman named Blanch
Meyers had robbed him Of sos while auto
mobile riding. This led to his own arrest.

Of bigamy preferred by his first wife,

Deputy District Attorney Mccartney ask
ing if the latter would issue a complaint
of bigamy in the case if Mrs. Barclay
No. l would apply for it. Mccartney re-
piled that he would issue the complaint
The deserted wife did not appear yester-
day to ask for the complaint, but it is
expected she will do so as soon as she is
sufficiently recovered to take up the
matter.
Barclay was formerly general purchas-
ing agent for the Pacific Light and Power
company, ana this enabled him to de-
mand a credit which he is alleged to have
abused Seven false checks ranging in
value from $50 to $3.50 are said to have
been passed on unsuspecting creditors in
