FORESTALL ACTION

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.-Police officials
here have received news of the tor
turing of William Moffatt and Ed
ward Maloney, who were arrested re-
Gently in the City of Mexico, charged
with robbing a bank messenger. The
police here say that both men were
well known to them before leaving
for Mexico and Captain of Detectives
McGough said today: IF 1t were not
for the records of the men their tor
ture would mean International COM
plications."
The two Pittsburgers were arrested
by the Mexican police but their COM
panions escaped. When they refused
to give the names of the men who
escaped the prisoners were strappd to
the bars of their cell and their nails
torn from their fingers. Unable to
bear this torture they gave the names
OF their companions.

WORKING OUT DETAILS
OF FOREST SERVICE
HEADQUARTERS
Mr.. PinChOt is Expected Soon
to Name Men Who Will Take
UP Residence In the West.
FIFTY MEN TO GO
TO EACH NEW DISTRICT

Washington, Aug. 11.-Plans for
the forest service field headquarters
which are soon to oe established in
The west are being rapidly worke
out in detail. Each headquarters wall
be modelled after the Washington OF
flee. In all there will be six district
ne aGquarters, one located at each OF
the lresent inspection district head
quarters: Portland. san Francisco,
Albuquerque, Salt Lake, Denver and
Missoula, Mont, or some other points
equally well or better located for the
s'urpCse.
AT the head of each office there will
bo d district forester and an assistant
district forester. Under these will be
experts in charge of the various lines
OF work. A chief of grazing will have
charge of range matters. chief OF
products will handle the preservative
treatment of timber and strength tests
and study market conditions. A chief
OF lands will look after such matters
81 land examinations. The office OF
lands deals with questions involving
the validity of claims asserted under
the public land laws, applications for
special uses of the resources of the
national forests, changes in boundar-
les of forests and the examination OF
lands applied for under the act of
June IL, 1906, for agricultural settle
ment.
The forest service, however. never
passes on the titles themselves. That
is entirely a matter for the general
land office to decide. In the case OF
applications for homesteads under the
act of June IL, 1906, the forest ser
vice is called upon to decide whether
the land is in fact more valuable for
agriculture than for timber, and II II
Is, to recommend its listing as open to
entry and patent. In the case Of
claims the service ascertains whether
any facts exist which seem to show
that the claim is not a legal one, an
order that national forest land may
not be unlawfully taken up. But II
tests always with the land office n
the interior department to decide
whether the title should or should not
be granted. The branch of lands in
the district forest service organization
does not mean any new assumption
of land business.
There will also be in eacn district
a chief OF silviculture, who Will nave
charge of timber sales, planting ana
silvical experiments, and chief OF
operation. The latter will supervise
the personnel of the forests. the per-
manent improvement work through
an engineer in charge; the accounts %
the district. including receipts. dis
bursements and bookkeeping, which
will be directly supervised by an ex-
pert accountant. and the routine busi-
ness OF the district.
In each of the lines of work the
ir anagement will be in the hands Of
Albuquerque citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1907-1909, 1908-08-11

p man who is a specialist and who
has had thorough experience both in
the west and in Washington. The
foresters and clerks at each district
headquarters will number about fifty.
The establishment of these field dis
tricts will bring the service into more
Immediate touch with the public. 1t
Is merely the completion of the move
N ent, started some tiir.s ago, to have
the forests administered as far as pos
sible by men actually on the ground.
- The change will not affect the in
vestigative work of the service, which
will center, as hitherto, in Washing
ton. Mr.. Pinchot is expected soon to
name the men who will fill the vari-
Gus positions.

ARMY WILL SURELY

Speed and Endurance Test VIII Only
Determine How Much Shall
BE Paid.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE mill
tary dirigible balloon built for the
signal corps by Captain Thomas X.
Baldwin will be accepted. We need
It," said General James Allen, chief
signal officer. and he indicated that
the failure to comply with speed re-
quirements will not prevent the pur-
chase of the air ship. 1t is generally
understood therefore that the speed
and endurance trials will merely de-
termine the price to be paid. The first
speed test is expected to take place
this evening and Captain Baldwin Is
satisfied he can make % miles under
the condition prescribed by the signal
corps.
The failure OF Captain Baldwin to
attempt the speed trial Saturday as
had been announced, was taken by
some to indicate that he could not
make the required speed of sixteen
miles an hour, but Baldwin said: at
has no time occurred to me that
would not fulfill the speed require
ments. l am satisfied that we will
make twenty-five miles an hour in
the official trial"

PREPARING FOR VETO
The President May Not Sign Public
Buildings Bill.

Washington. May 22.-President
Roosevelt already has taken notice"
of the 1872, 000. 900 public building bill,
although that measure is still in con-
ference between the two houses of con-
gress. He has asked Secretary Cortel-
you to prepare a report on the meas
ure to guide him in determining wheth-
er to sign or veto it. Mr.. Cortelyou is
asked to include in his report first,
whether the condition of the public
funds justifies so large an expenditure
for public buildings at this time. Sec
ond, the amount of future expendf-
lures which will be made necessary to
complete the new projects authorized
based on the expert judgment of the
supervising architect of the treasury,
as, to the necessity for each of the
projects provided for
That there is a connection between
the presidents desire to be fully in
formed as to the public building bill
and his desire to have passed an anti
injunction bill and also his desire to
have a bill passed appropriating for
ocean mail steamers Is declared to be
most obvious. 1t is conceded that no
measure passed at this session Is more
toothsome to members of both houses
than the public building bill. The pros
pect of having this bill vetoed would
cause emphatic concern and alarm
Meanwhile the president is CONTINUING
his personal work with members to
induce action on the anti-injunction
proposition and to persuade house
members that the senate subsidy pro-
vision contained in the postoffice ap-
preparation bill should be accepted. The
report which Secretary Cortelyou will
lose no time in preparing will undoubt-
eddy be convincing along its designed
line.
