MILITIA SEEK FOR

Five Companies of Tennessee Nation,

Lake-Purpose to Capture
Every Member

Memphis, Tenn. Oct. 27.-What
nay happen this week as result OF
tie investigation Of night rider de-
rredations in the northwestern part
of Tennessee is a matter Of conJec-
ture. With the opening of the circuit
cn.rt for Obion county in special SeS-
sion at Union City to investigate the
death Of Captain Rankin, who was
killed by a night rider band IN the
vicinity Of Reel Foot Lake last Mon
day night, that region will be under
the complete domination Of military
rule.
Five companies Of the STATE -
tional guard will be at the dispo ;al of
Colonel Tatom to enforce marital
law, and it is purpoSed to gather in
every member of the band. To aid
the militia the adjoining co1nties
have been drawn on for armed bands
of picketed men. Should this force
be inadequate to cope with the Situa.
ton it is declared that the entire mill
tary force of the State will be con.
centrated, if necessary.
In the Reel Foot Lake region the
lake itself is the source Of contention
which brought forth the activity Of
the night riders organization. II
was contended by those living neal
the lake that it waS their ri"ht '>''
their vocation as fishermen IN its wa.

owner of the land on the shores Of
the lake took an opposite view. II

THE TIMBER SUPPLY
OF THE UNITED STATES

eve are now cutting timber from
the forests Of the United States at
the rate of 500 feet board measure
wear for every man, woman and
child. In Europe they use only 6O
board feet. -
Few statements could be made
which could better convince the aver
age man that this country leads the
world in the demand for timber. 1t
is made by Treadwell Cleveland, Jr.,
in circular which treats Of the con-
servation of the forests, soil, water,
and all the other great natural re-
sources, which has just been pub
lished by the United States Forest
Service. In speaking further OF the
consumption Of timber in this coun-
try, Mr.. Cleveland says:
"At this rate, in less than thirty
wears all our remaining virgin tim
Der will be cut. Meantime, the for
ests which have been cut over are
generally in a bad way for want Of
care: they will produce only infer
ior second growth. We are clearly
over the verge Of a timber famine.
"This is not due to necessity. for
the forests are one of the renewable
resources. Rightly used, they 90 on
producing crop after crop indefinite
ly. The countries of Europe know
this, and Japan knows it; and their
forests are becoming with time not
less, but more, productive. We n1o-
badly still possess sufficient forest
land to grow wood enough at home
to supply our own needs. If we are
not blind, or willfully wasteful, we
may not preserve our forest indepcnd-
ence and. with it, the fourth of OR
great industries.
"Present wastes in lumber produc-
ton are enormous. Take the case of
yellow pine. which now heads the
list in the volume Of annual c!lt. In
1907 it is estimated that only one
half of all the yellow pine cut during
the season was used. and that the
other half. amounting to 8,000,O0a
cords, was wasted. Such waste is
typical. Mr.. R. A. Long. in his ad-
dress on Forest Conservation at the
conference Of governors last spring,
pointed out that 20 per cent Of the
yellow pine was simply left IN the
woods-a waste which represents the
timber growing on 100000 acres.
"The rest Of the waste takes place
at the mill. Of course, it would never
do 10 speak Of the material rejected
at the mill as waste unless this ma
terial could be turned to use by some
better and more thorough form Of
utilization But in many cases we
know, and in many other cases We
have excellent reason to believe, that

NON-UNI0N MEN aUIT IN PrNsA-

Louisville aud Nashville Cut Wages of All L0ngshoremen 10 Per Gent Except Those Belonging
 to Organisation.

Pensacola, June 22.--(Special.)-- )---Un- organized longshoreInen and wharf la- borers in the employ of the Louisyille and Nashville Railway went. on a strike today for an Increase of 10 per cent in wages.
 The number to stop work did not materially effect the loading of vessels at the various wharves of the com pany, as cotton screw men and other branches of labor, which are organ. ized, did not strike Those who struck today were recently cut 10 per cent along with other employees, excepting those organized, aud for this reason they demanded that the 10 per cent Dc given them. And when this was rafuged they declined to work.
 The same men struck two years ago. but lost. The men claim that the com pahy should give them the 10 per cent tae same as the men belonging to unions. Several steamers are taking cargo, and the work continues unin- terrupted. other men being secured to take the places of those who quit.
 The entire crew Of the fishing schooner Baldwin H. Colt brought suit against the Warren Fish Company to day for wages. claiming that the firm refused to take the cargo of fish brought to port recently. The firm bases it's refusal to take the fish on the fact that the cargo of 10000 pounds could not pass inspection and there fore they were relieved of any respon- sibility. The suit Is the first of it's character ever brought here.

 Washington, June 22.-The Repub- lican Congressional campaign DOCK will be out unusually early this year. probably six weeks sooner than 1t was issued four years gao.
 The proofs are practically corrected up to date on such matters as can be handled before the democratic conven- tion. It is always customary to re- serve a portion of the book for com ment on the action of the democratic convention and to include the demo- cratic platform for the information of campaign speaker
 The book will follow butte closely along the lines of the last campaign book, except that some new campaign ideas will be added and others that have ceased of interest will be dropped out. Considerable space will be de- voted to the question of injunction. of the various candidates and the work of the Republican Congress will be given very fully, particularly of the last three sessions.
 At the latest the book will be issued August l. This will give campaign speakers an opportunity to be prepared for an early opening of their work wherever that is desired The com mittee Is planning it's work with the idea that this year more than ever be- fore the campaign will be waged by means of literary productions through the press and by phamphiets and spell binders. For that reason the early issuance of the campaign book has been regarded as especially desir- able

 This interesting and important fact making necessary a change in Secre- tary Taft's plans for the latter part of the present week, developed tonight The Secretary had arranged tentatively with the President to confer with him at oyster Bay on Friday. He was to be accompanied to Oyster Bay by Gen. Luke E. Wright, who is to succeed him as Secretary of War. A telegram re- ceived by Judge Taft from the Presi- dent late today requested that the in- dicated change be made because he had himself decided to witness the boat race on Thursday.
 He will arrive at New London on the Sylph directly from Oyster Bay and he probably would not be able to get back to his home at Sagamore Hill in time for such a conference on Friday as he desires to have with Secrtary Taft and General Wright,
