Ireland To Have Forests.

public its report.
The commission urges the adOp-
ton Of a scheme for the state 10
plant about 100000 acres. This.
with the 100000 acres existing.
would give ireland 100000 acres
OF forest land. an area which the
commission considers as essential.
About 10000 acres would be puT-
chased by the state IN mountainous
regions and managed as state forest,
while 100000 acres would be plant
ed by the state, but managed by pTi-
Yate owners or by county councils.
Denmark, an agricultural country
half the size OF ireland. has since
1881 Increased her forests by 49,
600 acres. Belgium. in spite of her
dense population, has added 10000
acres to her forests in the last TWEEN
ty-fve years.
ireland is particularly suited in
soil and climate for the growth OF
forests. but only l p per cent. OF

NEW LIFE-sAvING SHIP.
Revenue Cutter Snohomish Only
Craft Of Pattern in World.

The new. life-saving revenue cutter
Snohomish. which left Baltimore yester-
day. bound for Neah bay. on the north
west coast Of Washington state. where
she will be stationed. is the only ship
of her, kind in the world.
The vessel is equipped with life saving
plant similar In many respects to that
in one Of the shore stations for the saw
ing OF life at sea. Her station off Cape
Flattery. state of Washington, is the
stormiest point on the Pacific coast, and
she will have many calls upon her serv-
ices In the course OF year.
The experiment of a floating life-savine
ship will be watched with interest. If
she comes up to expectations it is prob
able that other vessels Of the same class
will be built by the government and
foreign nations as well.
The Snohomish will remain for a few
days in Hampton roads testing her
machinery and outfit before she starts On
her long voyage Of $1,000 miles.
Capt. Francis A. Lewis commands the
Snohomish, with First. Lieut. BENJAMIN

HEARING IN CROOK CASE.
Arguments Concluded in Effort to
Set Aside Judgment.

Arguments were concluded Yesterday
before the District Court OF Appeals on
the appeal taken by DR.. Harrison Crook,
a local practitioner. from q judgment of
5000 rendered against him last spring
in favor Of the. International Trust Com
pany Of Maryland, in connection with his
subscription to the stock of the National
Vaccine and Formaldehyde Company
Attorney Wilton j. Lambert commended
before the Appellate Court that the con-
dition of the subscription of DR.. Crook
required cali to be made of 10 per
cent of the amount subscribed as pre-
cedent to binding the subscriber or MAX
ing possible an assignment of the sub
scription agreement. The company be-
Ing organized borrowed $4,000 from the
Baltimore company and gave as security
the agreement of Crook and other sub
scribers October %, 1906, before any call,
IL is claimed, had been made, and after
information OF that fact had been given
the lending company. He charged that
subsequently the condition as to can
and payment was attempted to be met in
an illegal manner and without any notice
to Dr. Crook.
Attorneys W. c. Clephane and W. c.
Chestnut. in behalf of the international
Trust Company. urged the affirnance OF
the Judgment Of the lower court on the
plea that the trust company occupied the
position of an innocent third party and
had paid out it's money on the strength
