S3CO,OOO.O0O LUMBER TRUST. Proposed Merger of Yellow Pine Tim. Der Owners and Lumber Mfgs.

St Louis, July 10.--F. E. Weyer- hauser, son of Frederick E. Weyer- hauser, the St Paul multi millionaire, was appointed chairman of a perma- nent committee chosen here Tuesday by a conference of yellow pine lum- bermen to work out the final details in organizing merger of timber owners and lumber manufacturers. The plan adopted by the conference for the big holding corporation pro yides for approximately S300,000,- 900 capital. The Weyerhauser com- mittee is bound by the plan adopted in a general way and will report in the near future in some other city. It is proposed to avoid conflicts with state and federal antitrust laws.
 The valuation of pine stumpage to be taken over was fixed at s3 per 1000 feet. Owners of 5000 acres of pine lands entered the. combine Their properties are in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana. Mississippi and Alabama. The southeastern timber belt was not represented. Only three trade journal representatives were admitted to the conference and they were forbidden to publish anything about the plans to maintain prices and limit production. Four or five men present will have 5000, ,0OO to s20,000,000 each in the trust.

Miss Mary Condon of Porter street is on vacation to Woodmont.
 Michael Brennan of South Leon- ard street has returned from vaca- ton in Providence.
 MT and Mrs William Monagan of Central avenue are moving into their new residence on Fox street.
 Miss Mary Frederick of North Riverside street has returned from a two weeks vacation in Thomaston.
 MT. and Mrs James Tyack of Avon avenue who have been at the shore the. past ten days have returned home.
 A months mind mass will be celebrated tomorrow morning at [ o'clock at St Patrick's church for the late Mrs John Kelly of Railroad Hill street
 The Brooklyn Improvement so- ciety will meet this evening in he Lyceum. As business of importance is to be transacted all members are requested to be present.
 The coal which will heat the Brooklyn fire house during the win ter was put in to-day and yesterday. Forty tons of the hard stuff were brought to the Brooklyn house. It will cost just $1,500 this year to furnish the fire houses with coal.
 It looks as though the north end business men are afraid to give the Brooklyn business men a return game for they cancelled the game that was scheduled for the golf grounds this afternoon. This is the second time within week that the players from the north end have called the game off after it had been arranged and Manager Smith of the Brooklyn team has reason to feel that the other fel- lows are trying to avoid another con- test.

IN YORK STATE CAMP.
The Local Military Men Speak Well
 of the Conditions,

During the early part of the week the local companies A and G, Second regiment. that are maneuvering with the regulars at Pine camp, x. Y., had it very easy. In fact on Monday they had nothing whatever to do and the boys had an excellent chance of resting after their long ride of the previous evening. The days are very hot at the camp. but the nights are so. cool that extra blankets have been in order. The camp is equipped with several incinerator plants and there are about fifty shower baths for the Second regiment.
 The men say 1t is the best camp that they have ever had and tie food Is vastly differen; than that of previous camps. it is so much better.
 The drill grounds are about a mile outside the camp. but the soldiers rather like the walk out: it gets them hmbered up. They drill abon, three hours in the morning and about two in the afternoa At Man. tic 1t was simply case of crawl out of the tent. grab your gun and ske- daddle ont on the dr.r ground. which was close b. the tents. Those sitting in q quiet game of draw were able to play up to the last minute before they fell in for The drill. Bat conditions for the little game are not as good al Pine camp as dosn by the seaside. "Canfieli'g" was aI- ways open at Mantle and there pss always a big crowd of spectators. The betting was tremendous Nhal the players were lucky cm the draw or had something gOoI on the go-ia. Some one always had plenty of I.in money al the end of camp Week at Mantle.
 Yesterday morning the eom1ariss started on the first real march they ] had since going to camp. It vas a.st in it with the one which they took | last year from Mantle b a hill close by New London. but It was tad enough. While marching Tuesds- the soldiers were dreached fn d heavy shover.

TAFT's RELIGION.
Delegation of Baptists Want to Know
 If He Is a Catholic.

Now that the parsons are discuss ing the religion of presidential can didates. the True Voice of Omaha re- marks that the constitution declares no religious tests shall be estsb- lished. but everyone knows that in practice the religious test is applied to candidates for the highest office in the land. MT Taft has been say ing some very favorable things of the Catholic church in the Philin- pines. says the Catholic Transcript. and last week a dele yation of Bap- lists waited upon Rim to inquire If he were a Catholic, Iust as if ii were any of their business. Mir Taft was able to reassure them on this point. but apparently he overdid tie matter. He was even farther from the Catholic church than his inqnisi- tors, for he was a Unitarian in re- ligion. That seemed to satisfy the Baptist committee. but when his statement was made public 1t ere ated a furore among other Pro;es- tant churches. ss Catholics do not trouble themselves much abOut the religious beliefs of political can dldates. All they ask Is fair treat ment and no favors. Any appeal Co them on the religious score in pOii- tics Is apt to be resented in no un- certain manner. 1t is true. Blaine was Burchardized" at the last mo ment, but ihe friends of Taft should remember that there may be . Burehsrd under different guise iH the coming campaign. IL is a dan gsrous thing to drag she question of the religious preferences of eandi- dates into 4 political campaign

THE CHIEF

Joe Leal long with the police force,
under Brown and under Iaukea,
whose head has been one of the few
in police circles to think out clues,
is to be Chief of Detectives under
Sheriff-elect William Paul Jarrett.
While this announcement is not of
fetal it Is positive as things stand
at present. Jarrett won't talk on the
subject and Leal himself looks for
lorn and says he guesses he will be
out of a job, but the ones in "the
know laugh when they see Leafs
sad face, for he's booked for the
job that A. p. Taylor held so sue
cessfully, as sure as Jarrett is the
elected Sheriff.
Leal has been the hero of many
police successes for which he never
got credit; not that he was looking
for credit or that it was case for
awarding credit as long as the work
was done, but nevertheless he is the
one that is responsible for a large
proportion of the secret work the po-
lice have accomplished.

LEE VS.
LIDDY
SAILORS CHAMPION FEELS
JUDGE DID NOT GIVE HIM
FAIR SHAKE.

There always has been a doubt as
to who took crack at poor Billy
Patterson, but there is no doubt as
to who hit James T. Liddy, Water
front Philosopher and Minister PIE
nipotentiary of the Sailors Union Of
the Pacific to these paradise isles.
Tom Lee hit Liddy. And Tom Lee
is special policeman.
Not that Tom hauled off and
smashed the champion of sailors
rights with an anchor or crane,
but he urgently placed his hands on
Liddys shoulders and part urged and
part showed Liddy from the railway
wharf, tearing his coat, and the rea-
son was, it seems, that Liddy's elo-
quence and superior knowledge Of
the English language piqued the less
educated Lee, and brute-strength took
the initiative as opposed to brains.
Liddy swore out a warrant and
Lee appeared in police court this
morning where he was discharged,
Judge AndTade remarking that he
had already heard much of the case
and did not propose to make the po-
lice court the recipient of trivial
cases.
Liddy wants to know how, when
and where the judge had already
heard much of the case" outside Of
the evidence in court.
