drawn From Entry.
(Special to The Herald. }


Washington, Dec. IA conference of
Importance to all states in which reclaim
alton service projects have been estab
lshed was held today between Secretary
Garfield and delegation from Nevada
concerning delinquent settlers unable TO
meet their payments for lands acquired
under the Truckee-Carson projects. Aft
er discussing the situation, which is SIM
liar to that in other states, it was de-
cided to have the secretary of the in
terror request congress to enact legiSla-
tion granting him discretionary power to
deal with each individual case in accord
ance with its merits and hardships in
volved.
A conference also was held between
Secretary Garfield and Senators Warren,
Clark, Borah and other western. senators
regarding the recent departmental order
withdrawing all phosphate lands Of the
west from entry.
Secretary Garfield explained that the
Withdrawals was to be temporary and was
made primarily to protect home interests
from prospective acquisition OF these
lands by foreign corporations and the
phosphate trust, which it had been re-
ported had fifty millions of dollars ready
to use in acquisition Of all of the phos--
phate tracts available When satisfac-
tory legislation can be secured to protect
this property against threatened acquisi-
ton by foreigners, the lands viii be re-
stored to entry

amateur, in combating new conditions
that have arisen in this state because OF
the passage of the anti-betting legisla-
ton. August Belmont, who is chairman

How much flat racing in New York has

GRAZING ON RESERVES.
Reserved Range Said to Be Much I'M
proved in Consequence.
(Special to The Herald.)

Washington, Dec H--According TO Sec
rotary Wilson of the department of agri-
culture the regulation of grazing in for
est reserves has resulted in a decided bet
terment of much of the reserved range
and in consequence of this improvement
it has been possible to increase the aIlot-
ment of stock on number of the older
reserves.
At the same time Investigations in range
Improvement through reseeding. new
methods of handling stock. the eradication
of poisonous plants. and the destruction
of prairie dogs brought important prog
ress toward still better future use of the
fosests by stockmen. The DEVELOPMENT
of watering places is another means that
is being pursued TO the same end. while
the killing of predatory wild animals nv
forest service hunters saved the stockrnen
losses probably greater than the entire
amount paid in grazing fees. This amount
was over $4,000. Through the enforce
ment of quarantine regulations and the
distribution OF blackleg vaccine other
losses from disease were prevented.

AS the Romans Did.

I'm conclusion. I beg to call your at
tention TO what very distinguished writ
er on the subject Of National Purity has
said IN regard to the question of district
ing prostitution. Mr.. Z. 7. Gerry in The
Phlanthropist' for March. 1885. thus de-
scribes the result of the experiment in
the city of Rome:
- In the winter of 1SS6-S7 while at the
city of Rome, Italy. had a personal in
terview with Cardinal SimeOni. which
lasted over two hours, chiefly in refer
ence to the course pursued by the Italian
government while in the hands of the
vatican. IN the matter of regulating pros
titution- The cardinal stated to me that
the experiment of attempting to confine
sexual vice within a specified district had
been most thoroughly tried. A portion
larry attractive for purposes of residences,
had been selected At the same time. a
very strict Gordon of police was placed
around the geographical boundary and
any attempt on the part of the females
who had once entered the district to es-
cape therefrom was followed by prompt.
and immediate arrest. The idea was so
novel that at first quite a number of reg
istered prostitutes entered the district.
hired ana occupied the houses and at
tempted to ply their vocation there But
the district soon became very notorious
The thieVing. the lawless and the set1i-
tious found their way there and became
permanent residents They brought with
them very little money. and as the sole
means winch the inmates of the district
had of supporting themselves was by the
sale Of their persons, 1t was obvious that
their custom must come from without
and not from within. as men do not care
generally, to be known as inhabitants of
the district And as soon as the fact of
its establishment was made public men
were very wary about entering the dis
trict for fear of Identification 1t was
not long before the storekeepers com
planned that they could~not make a Iiv-
ing Even the women found that the
money did not flow in upon them as II
did when they practiced their calling nm
restricted by geographical limits. and if
was not long before escapes from the
district became impossible of prevention
by the police. and some of the most no
torious women in Rome. after having
been put there. made their escape and
were found in other quarters. plying their
trade
.. The cardinal stated to me that the
attempt TO district vice was in his i,lde
ment a stupendous failure; that the
church had used every effort to reclaim
the fallen when so environed by the police
and placed in a locality where il could
not put its hands upon them, but to no
purpose
Il am. with great respect, yours very
truly, TOM d. PITT.

Does the council desire. by its vote sup
porting the mayor in his removing me
from office. to say to the people of this
city that the laws shall not be respected,
that it's own declaration upon this sub
jecI shall be set aside and that the prom
ises made to the people of this city and
county in the American party platform of
1908 were a mere jest?
IF a chief of police shall be appointed
in my place, does the mayor intend. as
a condition. precedent to his appointment.
that he shall agree to place the red light
district on the west side of the city? If
such a promise shall be made by my
successor, how can he consistently take
the oath of office in the face of such
promise? If he will not make the promise
and I am to be removed because / will
not make the promise. does not that place
the mayor and your honorable body in
rather a peculiar position?

Indictments Sustained.

Today's opinion was announced by
Justice White and sustained the con-
spiracy indictments, thus reversing the
district court on that point That court.
however, was sustained in finding that
section 4,746, covering false swearing.
does not apply to other than pension
cases. The interior department contend
ed that as amended this statute applies
to false swearing in any matter arising
in the interior department
Justice Whites principal decision or
the series was in the case of P w.
KeiteI and others, in which he discussed
the right to employ an agent to pur-
chase coal lands for a disqualified prin-
cipal. He declared that an express pro-
vision, excluding the right to do a par
ticular act, is both in form and sub
stance prohibition against the doing of
suchsuch act, and characterized as in
conceivable and hypothesis that the act
of a duly authorized agent was not the
act of the principal.
The court added that it would be time
to consider the foreboding that a broad
construction of the law might lead to
unwarranted persecution when case
arises indicating that the decade is real
and not imaginary.
