NEW YoRK's FORESTS GOING.
May Be Serious Lumber Famine in
T Two Decades.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ALBANY. N. Y. January State
Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner
Whipple makes, the startling statement
in his annual report. presented to the
legislature today, that with the increased
demand for lumber unless radical RENE
dies are applied there will be no com
mercial standing timber left in this state
in twenty years.
The commissioner. estimates that there
are but forty-one billion feet of saving
timber left on public and private lands
in the state. Last year the cut approx
mated one and one-half billion feet. If
these conditions are not relieved by the
enforcement of stringent forest preserva
ton laws there will result disastrous
foods in the spring and severe drouths in
the summer months.
The commi ssioper wants the state to
adopt at once a policy of tree planting
on an extensive scale. Trees can be
produced, he says, at a cost Of $3.50 per
thousand, and 400 trees can be planted
daily by two men working together.

he was first cousin of William Jennings
Bryan He died at the Casualty Hospital
about 10 o'clock. his death resulting from
a cerebral hemorrhage. The police were
unable to locate any friends of the dead
man in this city, and Lieut.. Peck, acting
chief Of detectives, wired to the authori-
ties at Lansing, Mich, where Mr.. Bryan
resided before coming to this city. Let
tiers found among his effects indicate that
his home was at 1903 Michigan avenue,
Lansing Shortly after the body reached
the morgue from the Casualty Hospital
friends of William Jennings Bryan in this
city arranged with Undertaken J. William
Lee to take the body 'front.' the morgue.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Bryan came to
this city and registered at the Burton
was from sixty to sixty-five years Of age.
and his condition was that of man who
had been Ill for a long time. His CONVEX
sations with other guests in the hotel
gave the impression that he was away
from home for the benefit of his health.
When he came here he stated that he
was not possessed of much wealth and
the clerk at the hotel gave him a small
room He did not take many meals at
the hotel. doing most of his eating in
restaurants about the city.
During the three weeks he was at the
hotel he usually remained in his room
until noon. and yesterday he was not seen
about the hotel during the morning hours.
but no one suspected there was anything
wrong. Early in the afternoon a friend
called at the hotel to see him and por-
ter showed him to the room. He found
Mr. Bryan was too Ill to talk, but he did
not feel apprehensive over his condition.
Falls From Exhaustion.
Later a chambermaid went to the room
and found Mr.. Bryan lying upon the
floor. 1t was believed that he got out of
bed to get medicine and fell from ex-
haustion. The sick man was lifted back
upon the bed and physician summoned.
The latter found he was in dying condi-
ton and advised that he be sent to the
Casualty Hospital His suggestion was
adopted and Mr.. Bryan was taken to the
hospital, where he died about the hour
stated.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Bryan settled his
bill at the hotel, intending to go to At
lanta, Ga, but, 1t is believed, felt too
weak to undertake the journey. The po-
lice of the sixth precinct took charge of
the effects of the dead man and they will
be turned over to the property clerk to-
morrow. Letters found among his effects
show that brother of the deceased, l..
A. Bryan, who is in the real estate busi-
ness at Gary, Ind. had been sending him
money. Several money orders, aggregat-
ing about 500, about $50 in cash
were found among his effects. The police
also found deed for property in Prohibi-
tion Park, ". Y.
It is expected that the police will hear
from relatives of the dead man late this
afternoon or tonight. In all probability
the relatives will direct that the body be
sent to Lansing for interment.

No Longer a Theory.

"As yet the United States has made no
move, so far as the public has been in
formed. toward the construction of dirigi-
BILE war balloons. but this government is
deeply interested In the subject and may,
think. be expected to do something In
that line. The dirigibie balloon as q war
instrument is no longer a theory. 1t has
become fact. And may say, generally
speaking, that on the development Of light
and powerful engines for purposes of
propulsion depends almost entirely the
practical success Of the aerial naviga-
ton of the future. No one who is Ia
miliar with what has been accomplished
In that direction doubts that success will
be attained"

BALLOONS IN WARFARE.
WILL BE EMPLOYED CHIEFLY
AS SCOUTS.
Advantage Of the Dirigible Type
Pointed Out by Lieut.. Lahm
Of the Army.

Lieut.. F. p Lahm, U.S.A, who, in Sep
TENDER Of 1906, won for the United
states the international dirigible-balloon
contest in France. and who has returned
to this country after four years spent in
Europe. said while discussing aerial
navigation and the progress made in 1t
as an applied science that in his opinion
the dirigible balloon as an instrument
Of warfare is destined to play an i'm
portant part in future operations on land
and sea. The chief war advantage Of
the dirigible or wind-opposing balloon
over the old spherical or wind-driven
balloon" he remarked. IS that the for
mer after spying out an enemy's de-
lenses and movements can put about
and return to its own line with the in
formation gained, while the old-style
vehicle Of the air had to depend on car
rfer pigeons, or make a more or less
perilous and uncertain descent and re-
sort to ordinary means to send back re-
ports.
Dropping Shells Prohibited.
IAN agreement entered into by The
Hague conference prohibits tAe dropping
of shells from war balloons, so the field
of operations is that Of the scout purely.
At the same time The Hague conference
failed to protect the aerial spy from land
attack. However, the extreme difficulty
of finding the range of balloon sailing
over an enemy's guns reduces the danger
to a great degree; for the dirigible balloon
is practically immune from big gun fire,
and rifle ball would be of no conse-
quepce to the object itself, though it
might be to the occupants Of the car
France, Germany and Great Britain are
now equipped with dirigible war balloons
and are constantly experimenting and
building new ones. Italy has set her face
to the task. Other European govern
ments have held back, perhaps because of
the great cost involved. the building of
dirigible balloon OF the government type
means an outlay Of from $6O,OW to $780,
OOO Germany has the largest dirigible
balloon ever built. 1t is so huge, indeed
that 1t cannot be easily handled and must
be landed on water instead of on land
for fear of smash
