murder was deliberate, the shot be-
ing fred when Thomas was STOPPING
over fixing chain on the binder. One
of his daughters cried to him to look
out, that Howard was coming with
gun. but the warning did not reach
the father in time.
The affair has created much excite

murdered man and his murderer were

JAPAN MAKES EXCAVATIONS
 IN FOREST MANAGEMENT

Japan fs the only government in the world which takes upon Itself the working of it's lumber business. accord ing to Consul General Henry B. Miller, of Yokohoma. in a report in which he quotes the director of the Japanese Forest Bureau. M
 The MtkadoS government has set apart a quarter of q million dollars to build saw mills and lumber roads. manufacture lumber in remote districts and put 1t on the market. Except rail road ties for ManchurfA roads. the Jap- anese government exports no timber. It is all needed at home.
 Many governments in different parts of the world own forests. but. as a rule, the timber Is sold who're 1t stands. and the buyer cuts and markets it. That Is the way 1t is done in the Na- tlonal Forests Of this country. The Japanese government. however, propos- es to carry on all parts of the work, from planting the trees to selling the lumber after it has been manufactured. The report says: a
 Recently an official in the depart mont of agriculture and commerce was sent to the United States. and others to Europe for the inspection of the tim Der trade and forestry administration A commission was also sent to India for the same purpose. A specialist on forestry in the same department is to be sent to South America shortly on a similar errand The latter will thor oughly study the rubber plantations, and. if possible. bring back roots or seeds for planting on the Bonins and Luchu groups.
 "rhe Japaness department of agri- culture and commerce. which establish ed a sawfnill in Akita prefecture In 1906, making grant Of 100000 in that year and sl50. 900 in 1907 to develop the businss, has obtained a vote of s160.- 900 toward the fund Tor the extenBion of the lumber business. and new gov ernment mills are to be established in Nagano and Aomoff petfectures. Be- fore the end of this year there will be nine timber mills in all in Aixita, Ao- r1ori, MiyaEi, and Kumamoto peffec- lures, all worked by the government Tn many forests reserved by the gov ernment there Is a very heavy supply of timber, but these forests are remote from railways. rivers. or seaports, and much expenditure iB necessary for opening roads or constructing other mans of transport In order to make such timber available.
 District forestry ofzlces will. however, now work mills regardless of profit, as strong competition IS going on among them. It is stated that the Govern rnent mills will only supply their pro- ducts to merchants In Japan, and the works are not yet progressed to such A stage that the Government can ex- port direct So far, he export of tim Der by the Government mills has been confined to supplying sleepers to the South Manchurian Railway Company"

 CONFERENCE.
Meetings Were Held "a westminster Abbey and st. Pnul's cathedrsa ---obtect Was Promotton

In place of the regular il o'clock morning service at St Johns Onureh yesterday, Rev. E. E. Cobbss the rec tor. who recently returned rom Lon don. addressed a large and interesteo audience upon the subject of the An giican Conference which he attendeo there and from which he had but re- cently returned. The conference vas one of the most coiiossal religious movements of many years and the ac- count given by Mir. Cobbs Of It's ses- sions was thoroughly interesting.
 The principal object of the confer ience. he stated. was the promotion or religion throughout the world, and as was beitting under such circum- : stances. delegates from all sections of the civilized world were present. The meetings were presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury. and strik- ing feature was the entire harmony, despite the widely varying opinions Of those in attendance, which character ized them throughout. No controversy, no dIssensfon. said the rector. was at any time introduced into the discus- sions.
 During the conference meetings were held in Westminster Abbey and in St. PauI's Cathedral. and MT. cobbs described those historic buildings. the Inspiring atmosphere of reverence in evitably prevailing. and the notable men who were present in way which delighted his auditors.

gently but no announcements are made as to their being secured.
 The Iron men in Birmingham say that as soon as the political conven- tions are over that the business is bound to improve. With politics a thing of the past, or rather the uncer- tainty as to. the candidates removed, there is nothing to prevent a steady improvement in conditions as to Iron and steel.
 Coal and Coke situation.
 Tho production of coal in Alabama will be cut down a little by the strike of the union miners. The commercial coal operators assert thar when they get ready to resume operation at their mines that there will be plenty of la bor to take up picks and get out coal. There is an increased production noted ht the on-union coal mines in the State and a general resumption is tak- Ing place at these coilferies right along.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company is meeting it's demands both in coal and coke. Several coal washers are In operation while the mines are doing nicely. None of the iron making companies in the district deal with the union mines so that the strike of fhe union men will hardly af- feet the non-union places.
 Coke is in better demand as the pig iron production holds up. There is a large quantity of coke being used now in the district and little is being sent out. The coke prices have not changed any lately.
