PINCHOT ASKS RAILROAD
 PRESIDENTS TO 60 SLOW
 ON CONSUMING OF TIMBER

Washington, July 20.-The presidents of the leading railroads of the country have just received a letter from Gif- ford Pinchot, United States Forester, calling upon them to practice forest conservation and better timber utili- zation. In his letter the Forester says:
 'I am writing to call your attention again to somes phases of a subject to which I know you must already have given much thought-the conservation of our forests. The report of the Ma tional Conservation Commission shows that we are cutting our forests three times faster than they are growing; that much large timber and young growth are destroyed yearly by fire; wastefully and eXtravagent1y; that the only way we can get the timber we shall need in the future is to keep all oIrr forest land constantly growing trees; and that the longer we delay action the greater will be the pinch of a timher shortage later on.
 "One-fifth of our remaining timber is in public forests, and on these for ests the nation and the States are prac- ticing forestry. Four-fifths of our timber is privately owned, and it is being cut almost exclusively for pres ent profit without regard to the future. The problem of providing a. timber supply cannot be solved by the Ma tiona1 Government alone, by the States alone, nor by individuals alone; all must work together.
 'tSince the railroads are among the largest consumers of wood, they will suffer heavily from the much higher prices and the actual scarcity of tim Der which will occur if our forests are not conserved. Railroad companies can most advantageously undertake both the growing of timber and the economical utilization of the product. They have a steady demand for tim Der, the extent of which can be largely anticipated, and they need much small timber of kinds which can be grown in a, relatively short time.
 Each railroad has its own especial

WEEKS SIGNS
 SETTING LAW
Text of New and Drastic Measure Which
 Fsrbids Dangerous Practice.

Governor Weeks yesterday signed the anti-sphtting bill, which reads as follows:
 Section 1. No person shall spit on the paved walk of any public street, park, or square. or upon the floor of any hall or office in any hotel, restau- rant. apartment house, tenement, or lodging house which is used in conn mon by the guests or tenants thereof, or 6pon the floor, platform, steps, or stairs of any public building, church, theatre, railway station, store. or fac veyance.
 Sec 2. The term splitting as used in this act shall be defined as the act of expeltng any secretion from the chest, throat, mouth or nose. Sec 3. Any person violating the pro- visions of this act shall be fined not less than $ nor more than S5, or inn prisoned not more than thirty days, or both.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-22

timber problems which must be work ed out to meet the given conditions At the same time there are certa in lines of general policy which can be profitably adopted by many roads. They are:
 @1. The use of chemically treated ties wherever possible.
 ''2. The use of so-called inferior woods, as, for example. black gum and lob1ol1y pine, for ties, which will re- duce the drain on white oak, and which is entirely practicable if the ties are treated.
 "3 The purchase and rnanagement of land bearing mature timber which can be used immediately, and of sec- ond-growth timber which will meet the needs of the future. Such lands if ual supply of ties and lumber at the cost of production.
 "4. The planting of trees upon non agricultural land owned by sz1e com pany, which does not now contain suf- ficient young growth to produce a. timber crop.
 t'5. Cooperation with other roads in the adoption of standard specificationsa for tieSi and timber and for the treat ment of them. Cooperation with timberland owners and the States in fire prevention, and in bringing about conditions which will make the prac- uce of forestry profitable. @
 These are in substance the recom- mendat1OnS of the subcommittee on Forest Supplies of the American Rail- way Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association. The adoption of these recommendations and the ap- pointment of technical men to carry them out will, it seems to me- be wise action for any railroad The in- fluence of their general adoption would be far reaching and most beneficial.
 ''I should be very glad to discuss the matter more in detail with you at your convenience, or to be of use in any other way'
 Responses which show much interx est are being received, and it is pre- stunned that definite action along tn lines mentioned will result

Veterans Will Wear Uniforms.

Little Rock, April Y. In marked contrast to the Arkansas soldiers which fought for the lost cause, will be the gaudily attired Confederate veterans who will next month represent the Arkansas camps at the reunion to be held i'll Memphis ill June. It is the de sire of Major James Smith to have every man ill the state division at tending the reunion i'll uniform. He has urged his staff officers over the state to plead with the camps to send their representatives in uniform, where it was possible for the delegates to supply them. This has had its effect and reports com. ing to the mojor general from all parts of the state indicate Arkan- sas will have as fine uniformed brigade of veterans as can be pre- sented by any state.

BRYAN'S ARRIVAL DELAYED
Disappointed Big Crowd at Sta
 tion to Meet Him.
Plans for Entertainment Disarranged By Decision of Commoner to Speak Again
 at Little Rock.


 About five hundred citizens, ea- ger to get a glimpse of the great commoner, were disappointed at the local railway station this morn ing, when William J. Bryan failed to arrive from Little Rock. Early this morning MT. Bryan consented to remain in Little Rock and deliv- CT an address before the state Y. M. C. A. convention, upon receiv- ing the promise that he would be safely transported to Conway in an automobile in due time to lecture here at the appointed hour, three o'clock this afternoon.
 The auto carrying MT. Bryan left Little Rock at II:56 a. III. In the car with him were Commis- sioner Guy B. Tucker, national Democratic committeeman of Ark ansas; John H. Page and w. l.. Tedford. The car was driven by Bruce Edwards. Another car carrying Representative Vim of Pulaski and Senators Turner of Craighead and Greene of Union also accompanied the party. The cars arrived here, after some delay on account of rough roads, at PAS D. m making the run from Lit tie Rock i'll hours and 52 min utes.
 The plans for the entertainment of the distinguished visitor were, of course, entirely disarranged. The big reception committee was on hand at the station at ten o'clock and enjoyed the pleasure of vel coming Governor and Mrs. George w. Donaghey and several others who came up from Little Rock but the governor informed the com lnittee that Mi. Bryan was not on the train and explained the cause of his delay.
 The entertainment committee who had planned drive over the city and a luncheon at noon at the Commercial Hotel, were likewise disappointed. The big touring car carrying MT. Bryan did not arrive until nearly three clock, leaving time for only hasty meal before the hour for the lecture.
 MT. Bryan began speaking in the tent provided for the lecture at $50 o'clock. The speaker was introduced by Governor Donaghey, who spoke of the great pleasure he took ill welcoming the distin- guished visitor to the governor S home town and presenting "the greatest Democrat since the day of Andrew Jackson" to a Conway au- l dience. Mir. Bryan's subject this afternoon was "The Prince of Peace" ?"
 Tonight MT. Bryan will lecture at the same place, his subject be- ing "The Price of a Soul. He will be introduced tonight by As sociate Justice Samuel Frauenthal

I, D. NEWBERN FALLS DEAD
Conway Citizen Suddenly Ex-
 pireS on Oak Street.
Death was Almost Instantaneous and Came Without Warning-Heart Failure
 The Cause

On his way to a drug store to procure some medicine for what he regarded slight illness, Thomas D. Newborn sank to the sidewalk on Oak street at $50 o'clock this morning and expired almost in- stantly, breathing only few gasps after he fell, Heart failure was the cause of his death. MT. New bern was of robust physique and had never suffered serious illness, but this morning. while attending to his duties at the store of Cole & Co.,, he complained of a pain in the region of the stomach and a feeling of oppression. MT. Cole suggested that he go home, but MT. Newborn replied that the trouble was of no consequence and that he would go across to the Greeson drug store and get some medicine to relieve him. As he reached the opposite sidewalk he was seen to sink slowly to the ground, and, although physicians reached him within one minute af- ter he fell, life was already prac tically extinct.
 MT. Newborn was an honored and beloved member of a large family of brothers and sisters. He was born in Middleberg, Tenn. Feb. Y, 1859, and spent the greater portion of lis life on "a farm In December, 1885, ne was mar ried at Bolivar, Tenn, to Miss Lilla Reed, who with their daugh ter, Miss Mary, survives him. MT. Newborn and family came tC Conway to make their home only a little more than year ago, but during their short residence they have won the respect and friend ship of everyone with whom they have formed an acquaintance 1T this city, and his sudden end is g source of deep regret to the entire people.
 Mir. Newborn is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. C. L. Newborn of Memphis; six brothers, w. R. G. P. and M. E. Newborn of Mar ianna, Ark; D. J. Newborn o1 Houstonville, Tenn; R. l.. New bern of Searcy, Ark, and C. H. Newborn of this city; and two sis ters, Mrs. l.. P. Statler and Mrs F. E. Talley, both of Memphis. He was a member of the Methodist church and the Woodmen of the World.
 The body will be taken to the old family home at Bolivar, Tenn, for burial, cn this evening s train. Mrs Newborn and daughter and C. H Newborn and family will accom- pany the body, and other members of the family will meet the funera party at Memphis. The burial will take place Monday.
