addressed a public meeting called
early In 1910 to push the scheme
This speech, one of the few he ever
made, was a fine piece OF humorous

Wood Production I'm Germany.
Among all the nations OF the
~'orld Germany receives the credit OF
tsing the most thoroughly scientific.
She does with her limited natural re-
Fources what younger nations will
soon be compelled 10 do in self-pro-
tcction--she conserves them.
When our wood supplies, stored
IN from 100 to 500 YEAR, are within
sight of their end. and sawmills that
have been moved from the white
pine belt of the north to the yellow
pine belt of the south have been
moved TO the Pacific coast for their
last stand. then Germany's scientific
forestry policy will receive better
recognition.
We do not think of moving n g'ist

exhausted. After one crop Is harv-

Railroad stocks Boom.



New York, Aug. 29.-Many con-
Trajectory stories were told on Wall
street today to account for the pc
culiar bullish demonstration on the
stock market yesterday in which
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and
Reading were chiefly concerned. All
three of these stocks closed at the
top with the exception of the latter,
which fell off only an eighth. 1t was
connolly said that Hartman had de-
cided to increase dividends from 8
to per cent, but today this story is
not credited.
IL is recalled that the Southern Pa
cific showed a loss of sS,000,000 In
its balance applicable to dividends
for the last fiscal year. This reduc-
ton threatening the stock to less
than per cent.
Another way of accounting for the
strong showing of Hartman stocks
yesterday is advanced bv brokers to-
day, to the effect that the Southern
Pacific is about to take over the st
Louis and San Francisco railroad
from the Rock Island system.

ASSOCIATION GOES AFTER
SLEEPY RAILROADS

Some somnolent railroads, which
have allowed thousands Of crippled
box cars and scores OF locomotives
to accumulate during the business
depression have been given a SHARP
waking up by the Illinois Manu-
facturers association which fears a
car shortage during crop moving
times this fall unless lively prepara-
tions are made. The hard times
pleas of some railway presidents
were discredited when 1t was shown
that they have not got ready to care
for the great crop traffic in addition
to general increase of other traf-
fic. nevertheless lamentlng that
freight rates are too low for the re-
duced tonnage now being hauled.
The sharp stick of the association
was applied to these somnolent ones
in an open letter from President
Fred w. Upham who said: 'T firmly
believe that we are on the edge Of
returning prosperity, and this belief
isentertained also by many members
our association. The railroads are
going to have one of the largest
crops in history to move, and Il will
begin moving soon. You will
remember that last years freight
car shortage began with a shortage
of cars in which TO handle the crops.
It Is more than likely to be repeated
this year in more aggravated form.
Conditions are different this year.
There are many Indications that
there ID to be a revival. This much
hoped for condition will be retarded

able to take care of the tonnage Of

per cent OF the car euipment OF the

Conclusions About the Planet Mars

1
II is sometimes said that we are
not justified in inferring the condl.
tions OF life In other worlds from
what we see or ours, because In each
world the form OF life will adapt
Itself to the surrounding conditions.
Now. II on our planet We found this
to be the case--if life were equally
abundant everywhere-the argu-
ment would be stronger than II is.
As a matter OF act. we do not find
life to Flourish In the arctic regions.
We are therefore able TO say from
our own observation that there are
conditions under which life, so far
as we can jndge from experience,
will not be much II at all developed.
IL may seem that this tends to
lessen our faith In the wide diffusion
OF any high form OF life elsewhere.
and to strengthen the contention OF
Alfred Russell Wallace that there Is
no other world than ours adapted TO
the production OF life. But this Is
not the correct conclusion. The
very fact that we are able, from
comparing what Is going on in the
equatorial and theartic regions OF
our planet, TO say definitely that the
former are highly adapted TO life
strengthens the contention that un-
der all circumstances whore the tenn
perature and other conditions are
similar 20 those which prevail in
our torrid zone, life will probably be
developed on n larger scale.
or course, the existence OF life
does not imply the development OF
a race endowed with reason. We
can not say anything definite on
this point until the investigators OF
human eyolntion are able to tell us
just how IL happened that the hu-
man race appeared upon our earth
when Il ala II seems 10 require a
certain amount OF scientific training
TO avoid forming an opinion when
one has no grounds OF knowledge
But Il Is what the trained lnvestlga-
tor OF nature must always learn 70
do. So when one Is asked whether
he believes I'm life on Mars, the best
he can cay. Ia the writer's opinion.
Is that so FAR as We can infer from
all the facts and principles OF sci
enee. the conditions seem 10 be un-
favorable 10 any form OF life unless
of the very lowest order. and that
he has no opinion as 10 whether even
this order OF life actually exists

CLARK GIRLS HATE
To HAVE To WAIT
YEAR FOR ANOTHER
That Excursion Brought Them
Back Feeling Like First
Blooms of Spring.
VOTES IN WATCH CONTEST

Ballots to Be Counted Tuesday
Night and Winning Maid
Announced Wednesday.

There is a general feeling of en-
thusiasm among the workers at the big
Clark thread mills today, and several
thousand persons feel a good Zeal more
cheerful than usual, because they had
a r%ollicking good time on the biggest
excursion tina ever started from New
ark.
Thousands of votes to determine the
most popular woman employee on the
outing have been received by THE
EVENING STAR.
The contest closes tomorrow at O
O'Clock md the winner will be an
nounced Wednesday. Get your votes
in early.
The workers got back Saturday night,
tired, but happy, after having spent a
day that will long be remembered as a
red letter one. They stormed Asbury
Park, over 5000 strong, in the morning.
roamed over the beach, played in the
sand, turned back the clock a dozen
years, and came back with ~rejuvenated
life. Never was there quite such an eX-
cursion as this one, the thirty-seyenth
annual event of the Clark Thread
| Works Relief Society.
Although the excursion Is now a
thing of the past, there is still doubt as
to who Is the most popular woman en-
ployee of the company that was present
in the seventy railroad coaches that
carried the party to the seaside and
brought them back. THE EVENING
STAR will award a beautiful lady's
gold watch to the winner.
The contest will remain open until 6
o'clock p. m. tomorrow CTuesday). AT
that hour it closes and no votes re-
oeived thereafter will be counted.
With the same good fortune that has
attended the society for the past
thirty-six years, the day for the out
ing was a pleasant one. Never has the
Clark outing been marred by even SO
much as a drop of rain.

william l.. Stockton, manager of one
or the most important departments of
the Prudential Insurance Company. died
az 81. James's Hospital early today as
the result of having his left foot crushed
by the wheels of a Pennsylvania Rail-
road train at the Market street depot.
He was a descendant of Richard Stock
ton, one of the signers of the Declara-
ton of Independence and president of
Princeton In the early nineteenth CEN
fury.
Mr.. Stockton was "a years old. At the
time of the accident he was going to
visit his mother and sister at Manitoba
king, near Point Pleasant. He was ac-
companied by a friend, Abram P.
Cooper. of S8 Baldwin venue, and they
We're to TAKE the 4:03 train.
The train came INTO the station SLOW
ly a of the unusually large crowd.
Both men believed that they could
board 1t safely before it came to a stop,
and thus be sure of seats. Mr.. Cooper
was successful In swinging aboard, but
Mr.. Stockton grabbed the handle of the
a nearest h coupling and swung
between the second and third cars, fall
ing to the ground. The wheels passed
over his foot
Many persons who witnessed the acct
dent rushed to Mr.. Stockton's assist
ance. An ambulance from st. James's
Hospital was called, and DIR. E. p.

After arriving at the hospital
Mr.. Stockton showed good courage, and
his relatives and friends believed that
he would recover from the shock of am
putation. Death ensued, however. be-
fore his brother could reach the hospi-
early today.
The funeral will be from the old
Stockton homestead in Princeton to-
morrow, and services will be held later
in Trinity Episcopal Church. The Rev.
Alfred B. Baker will oficiate.
will be in Princeton Cemetery.
Officials of the Prudential Insurance
greatly mourn the death of
their colleague, who, it was conceded,
was destined to rise even higher thar
he had. He had charge of the vast
New England business of the COM
pany. He was a graduate of Prince
ton, class of P96, and a member of the
Princeton Colonial Club.
