LUMBERMEN TO
SAVE FORESTS
MANUFACTURERS OF HARDWOOD
URGE ORGANIZATION TO PRO-
MOTE CONSERVATION.
ASSOCIATION is GROWING
Speakers at Convention in Little Rock
Declare Members Are the Ones
to Prevent LaWIess
Waste.

Little Rock, Ark.-The Arkansas
Association of Hardwood Manufac-
turers passed resolutions favoring
the perfecting of the state organiza-
ton and the extension of the work by
local meetings and organizations.
A large number Of new members
were added, and the convention closed
with a show of enthusiasm in the de-
termination to get the 500 hardwood
manufacturers in the state closer to-
gether.
The main address was by Samuel J..
Record, of Mena, forest supervisor of
the Arkansas National Forest, on
"The Hardwood Shortage and How to
Prevent It." He showed that there
are now in the forest reservations of
the United States a total of approxi-
mately 165, 900, 900 acres of land, and
that to properly care for this vast ter
ritory requires careful business meth
DDS. He went extensively into the
purpose of the forestry service, which
he declared is for the preservation of
the timber supply, to the end that the
country may not some day find itself
barren of this great He adj
vocated the measures applied by the
federal government as the most log
ical for this end, the careful protec-
ton of the forests, preservation from
fires, cutting out of mature timber and
culls, leaving the young well deyel-
oped timber to supply the second cut
ting, etc. In closing, he declared that
he believed the day of the small indie
pendent factory is past, and that eth
er manufacturing on a large scale, or
through systematic organization,
where the waste may be reduced to
the minimum and the forest be most
carefully preserved, will be the final
solution of the problem of timber pres
ervation.

KILLS WIFE, BODY IN TRUNK.
Chester Gordon, Boston Actor, Makes
Confession to Police.

Boston.-Following the finding OF
parts of a woman's body in a
trunk, other parts in a kitchen range
and a furnace, Chester Jordan, an
actor, 29 years old, the police say, has
confessed he killed his wife. Mrs.
Honorah Jordan, then tried to dispose
of the body to avert suspicion.
His wife was an actress of Somer-
vile. Jordan was arrested after a
trunk he had moved to a boarding
house in Beacon Hill was opened.
The baggageman who hauled the
trunk was suspicious because of it's
great weight and reported to the po-
lice he believed it contained burglars
plumber.
Jordan say the killing was acct
dental. After his wife was dead he
bought a razor, butcher knife and
shears, and dismembered her body.
The failure of a steamer to sail on
time for New York caused him to
send the trunk to a boarding house.

CANAL DYNAMITED
BOATS AND LAUNCHES STRAND
ED AT CHANNAHON, ILL.
OF FISH REPORTED DEAD
Over Repairing Bridges-Coun-
try Is Flooded.

Joliet, Ill.-At an early hour
Wednesday morning unknown par
ties dynamited the west bank of
the Illinois and Michigan canal at
Channahon, II miles southwest of
Joliet, making a breach 100 feet long
through which the waters of the canal
poured, flooding the adjacent farm
lands and running into the Dupage
river, a half miles away.
AS a result of this, the section from
Jackson street dam, in Joliet, to Chan
nahon dam, 20 miles below, was emp
tied of water.
Nearly 20 canal boats, launches and
pleasure boats are stranded in the
mud and navigation is completely tied
up. The oat mills of the Great West
ern Cereal Company at Joliet, which
depended on the canal water for pow
er, have been compelled to close down,
throwing nearly 100 men out of en-
ployment.
Millions of fish are lying in the dry
canal bed and the ~decaying of these
has added to the danger of the situa-
ton.

FARMER STAYS SELF
SHOOTS HIMSELF ON ACCOUNT
OF DIVORCE SUIT.
ELOPED WITH ANOTHER MANS WIFE
Pocket With Note Saying
She Is Cause.

Brookfield, Mo.--Caleb Hill, q
young farmer, killed himself here
after a suit for divorce had been filed
against the woman who had left her
husband for him. Hills body was
found Thursday under the railroad
viaduct in the eastern part of town
with a revolver beside it.
A photograph Of the woman was
found in his pocket with a note saying
that because of her he had taken his
life.
About six months ago Hill and Mrs.
Hiram Bracken, Jr., whose family live
here, went away together and nothing
was heard of them until three weeks
ago, when they returned and went to
the home of Mrs. Bracken's parents in
the country near here.
At the same time Bracken filed a
suit for divorce from Mrs. Bracken be-
cause of her escapade with Hill.
Hill has been about town almost
daily and usually has carried a re-
volver which he frequently showed to
his friends. Thursday morning he was
arrested for carrying concealed weap-
ons, but when he appeared in court
there were no witnesses against him
and he was released.
A few hours later persons living
near the railroad viaduct heard a shot
and found Hills body. There was a
bullet hole in the back of his head.
Hills father, William Hill of Milan,
Mo-, committed suicide a year ago by
drinking carbolic acid.

frantic families on the shore, but
100 yards away, the crew of SO
of the Portuguese steamer Lula,

The Lula was from Brazil and went
on the rocks during a heavy sea. Hun
dreds, including relatives of the
doomed men, f1ocked to the shore

any vessel to put out to the rescue,
and the anguished spectators. many of
whom tried to throw themselves into
the sea, watched the crew drop from
the rigging to death. The tragedy was
enacted close enough to shore for the
victims to be recognized.

"a "Proeressives" Will Join With
Democrats to Force a Vote.

Des Moines, Ia.-In spite of the
announcement printed by the stand
patters" that a split in the Re-
publican party in Iowa will follow any
attempt of the Cummins men, or pro-
gressives," to elect the governor
United States senator for the short
term at the special session, the cleo
ton will take place.
Twenty-four 'progressives" in the
house Wednesday agreed to vote with
the Democrats on the Lambert-Demar
resolution to elect a senator for the
short term at this session. Demo
Gratis will insist that a vote on this
resolution be taken when the resolu-
ton is called up for passage. The

Der before the election of senator will
be defeated and also means that a
vote on Gov. Cummins' candidacy for
the short term will be forced.
