URGES LAWS TO SAVE TREES
Forests viii Be Wiped Out In Ten
Years at Present Rate Says Whlpple

New York, Dec. 17.--If the present
destruction of trees in the United
States continues for ten years more
there will not be a forest tree left
standing in the country and the com
merce, agriculture, and health of the
country will be seriously impaired.
This was the statement OF James S.
Whipple, state forest, fish and game
commissioner, at a meeting in the
New York Historical society building
under the auspices of the American
Scenic and Preservation society and
the New York association for the Pres
ervation Of the Adirondacks.
"The preservation of the forests is
at this time far and away OF more
Importance to the American people
than the Panama Canal" continued
the commissioner. "A reservoir is to
be built to supply water to New York
City from the Catskills and will cost
$3.50, 100000 yet II the slaughter Of trees
is to continue this money will be vast
ed. for within few years the city Of
New York will be compelled to draw
its supply from the Adirondack dis
trict direct"
Commissioner Whipple stated that
the activity Of the lumbermen in New
York state alone had caused Lake
Champlain and Lake George to lower
over a foot each in the past year. The
water power Of the state alone, he
said is worth more in actual money
than the coal mines OF Pennsylvania
and he advised a movement to have
the legislature pass stringent laws at
once to protect the forests.

Rutland, Dec l6-Rey. w. N. Loner-
gin informed his congregation at the
opera house Sunday that in all prob
ability the basement of the new
church Of the Holy Innocents on South
Main street would be ready to receive
Che congregation on Christmas day In
that case mass will be celebrated in
the opera house for the last time next
Sunday. The decorators are now
working night and day on the interior
of the church
Father Lonergin also announced
that he had deferred the celebration
of his silver jubilee or the 25th ami
versary of his ordination to the priest
hood until Christmas because at the
time of the anniversary last October
he was without house or church.
1t is now almost two years since
st. Peters parish was divided and
Father Lonergln came to Rutland to
take charge Of the new parish and to
build church. The first Sunday he
was there he said mass in the Quinn
hall, but that was found to be too
small and the opera house was secur-
ed. Father Lonergin is considered
one of the best preachers In Vermont
and he also has a reputation as a
church builder.

New York, Dec. 16.-Thornton Jen-
kins Hams in the Court House at
Flushing last night faced the twelve
men who are to pass on his innocence
or guilt OF completely in the murder OF
William e. Annis, who was shot to
death by the defendants brother, Capt
Peter c. Hams at the Bayside Yacht
club on Aug. Is.
jenkins Hams as he is generally
known has had voice in the selection
of each man OF the twelve. He coA-
ferred with his counsel before they
were accepted and be said last night
he was confident that the jury as con-
stituted would acquit him
The trial promises to be devoid Of
any Of the delays which frequently os-
cur in murder trials which attract
widespread interest. Justice Crane
from the outset has shown his deter
mination to have counsel on each side
attend strictly to getting out the evil
dence. He says that in the event Of
any dalliance on either side he will
hold night sessions to make up for lost
time. .
OF the jurors selected for the trial,
eight men have passed middle life.
The other four are between 80 and 40
years old. One OF the younger men,
Juror Z, is a half-breed Indian. He
studied at Carlisle and was born in
Texas. He was accepted by the pros
ecution before these facts we're
brought out in cross examination by
Mr. Mcintyre, OF counsel for the de-
tense. The district attorney desired
to withdraw him. but the court would
not consent. The jury will not be
locked up. Justice Crane instructed
the members not to discuss the case
with any one. He declared last night
that he had never locked up a jury.
and was opposed to the custom.
Mrs. Annis, widow OF the man for
whose murder the Hams brothers are
indicted was in the court house yester
day for consultation with District At
torney Darrin. She will be a witness
for the prosecution. There were two
other women witnesses also called in
consultation by the prosecution.

passed by vote Of 1874 to 25.
The house then, by a vote OF i07 to

Boyce of Waterbury.
In the senate a bill was introduced
by Senator Gibson of Windham. pro.
ylding that the governor be empower
ed to appoint a committee Of three
TO prepare a Digest Of the Opinions Of
the Vermont Supreme Court. unless
Robert ROBBERS Of Burlington should
complete the Digest begun by him.
House and senate have locked horns
on the disposition OF the license fees.
When the house bill giving all license
fees to the state came up In the house
there was serious objection ON the
part Of large towns to giving up that
portion Of their revenues. and allow.
ing forty per cent OF Il to be divided
among the small towns. The act was
amended on the suggestion OF DeBoer
OF Montpelier so that the license fees
] shall go TO the permanent school fund
The senate restored the bill TO some.
thing like its original form. providing
that all the fees should 20 to the gen
eral fund. The effect OF the DeBoer
amendment would be to take fifty per
cent OF the license fees. the amount
that now goes to the state. out OF the
general fund thus largely reducing
the state revenues. The senate
amendment would give the other fifty
per cent or all the revenue to the gen.
eral fund. But the representatives
from the large towns say II you are
going to take away money that prop.
erly belongs to us, we shall insist that
It 20 where Il will do some permanent
good, to the school fund"
The house has refused to concur on
the senate proposals OF amendment
and appears disposed to insist on the
ground II has taken. Unless the sen.
ate recedes the bin may not pass at all
and the license fees may remain
whore they now go, as the large towns
desire.
