INFORMATION TO coNeREssMEN
Forester Pinchot Denies Every Accu.
 sation Against His Service.

In a recent letter to Congressman Er- nest NJ Pollard concerning the charges against himself and the bureau of for estry, Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot said:
 "Neither the forest service nor I per- sonally has ever paid one cent, directly or indirectly. either to procure the in- sertion of material of any Kind in any publication of any sort concerning the forest service or it's policy or it's work. or to influence the judgment of any news paper or magazine articles by collabo- rators or any other person not regular members of the service.
 Neither the forest service nor I per- sonally has ever brought or tried to bring pressure to bear on members of Congress in reference to legislation concerning the service.
 ''The policy and methods of publicity which the forest service has developed is the only defensible policy. to my mind, for any government organization any part of whose service Is to collect and dis seminate facts. Every consideration of economy, promptness and efficiency re- quires that the information gathered at the public expense should be put in the hands of the people who pay for it as promptly as eheaply and as widely as possible.
 "You cannot reach a population of S0,- 00000O with 10000 copies of bulletin whose publication always must be some what retarded and in which there often is more material than the average man cares to read. To get the information before the public through the newspa- pers. the method in use in this service costs less than one per cent of the ex- pense of getting the same information as widely distributed in public documents. Without the active cooperation of the press, which this method seeks to pro cure the general knowledge of the value of forestry which now exists among our people would have been altogether i'm "a

quietly in the garden of a wealthy Moor on the outskirts of the city. MT. Schneider tried in various ways to get an audience with Raisuli or make a sketch of him, but failed.
 "Raisuli pretends to be a very re- ligious man." said MT. Schneider, land will allow no one to take his photo graph. This is in accordance with Mo- hammedan beliefs They think it a great sin to have a photograph taken.
 "Of course a sketch of him would have been worth a good deal. He was very careful however, and would not leave his house except at night or when the streets were deserted. Once, when he wished to visit the agent of Per- dicaris who lived directly across the street, he waited for an hour until tn e coast was clear
 "Raisuli was surrounded by faith full retainers at Tangier and I could not see him. He lived quietly as an English subject and will probably not do anything more in the bandit line for 10 years at least. At the end of that time, If he lives up to the agree ment. he will receive f15,O00 and in terest.'
 The Sinking Fund commission has begun to unwind the red tape that pre- vents Dan, an old ambulance horse, from "getting a pension" Being owned by Bellevue hospital the horse could not legally be given up to the Rhode Island men who wanted to let him live peaceably for the remainder of his days on a pasture in their country.
 Experts discovered that the horse could be transferred to the Sinking Fund, thence to some city department, and thence to the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, which could turn Dan over to one of the humanitarians.
 The commission started this process by giving Dan to the Street Cleaning department.
 Dan is 24 years old and has pulled a Bellevue ambulance for 19 years.
 Musical circles in general and the musical colony of the Carnegie hall studios in particular are discussing with keen interest the $50,O suit for malicious slander which Albert Garard Thiers, a teacher of music who num- bers among his pupils members of many influential New York families has brought against pr. Fl. Palmer King of No. 135 West One Hundred and Twenty third street.
 reflection upon a pretty young woman seen entering the studio of Mr Thiers is the cause pr the suit, in which Dr. King was arrested on the complaint of the music teacher Dr. King was released by Supreme Court Justice Bowling in s2000 bail.
