MOTIVE OF ATTACK
 ON POLICE CHIEF

Chicago, May 9.-(SpeeiaI )-Assistant Chief of Police Shuettler today made public an article purporting to have been written to the editor of The Buntar, said to be a violent anarchistic organ. printed in Europe, which he asserted, re- moves all doubt concerning the motive for the attack upon Chief of Police Ship py by Jeremiah Averbuch. He said that il established the fact that Averbuch pre- meditated the plot against the chief. The translation of the letter in part is as follows:
 News from Chicago-Jeremiah Aver buch. In the anarchistic press appears an article that Averbuch. who was killed by the chief of Chicago police, shippy, was not an anarchist.
 T have known Averbuch personally; have known him in Russia when he took a hand in the socialist reform movement; saw him abroad looking where he could Use his revolutionary energy.
 Here is the verbatim of what he wrote a few hours before the attack:
 My Dear Friend: When you receive this postal l will surely be either on the gibbet or in jail, as an hour from now, on my own risk, 1 am going to revenge my self on the man who was the cause of shedding blood from the hungry work ingman here and in Philadelphia.
 'Shippy gave the first signal to the clubbing, and as he was not punished, a lot of Shippys sprung up. When l saw all of that l came to the conclusion that for such offenses anarchists do not keep silence, and I decided to give the signal All of them who act like Shippy will suf- fer the same consequences ;"

STUDY ON FORESTS OF
 ALABAMA IS COMPLETED

"piney woods" are so rapidly disappear ing that one can easily designate on the map of the state the remaining large areas.
 Fires do the most serious damage They burn over the same land almost annually. They are caused principally from rail- roads, carelessness by hunters and tramp CTS in the woods, and by farmers 10 im- pi owe the grazing. Repeated burnings in the piney woods absolutely destroy young growth. and when the mature timber is removed the country is desolate Long leaf pine does not reproduce readily at best and after numbering usually scrubby oaks take possession In the mountain sections while timber growth Is nowhere entirely lacking on uncleared lands, fires have stunted the growth and prevented the return of the valuable species re- moved.
 The practice of turpentining young longleaf pines is the final and crushing blow to the piney woods forests. The young saping growth is slashed and gir- dled for the turpentine and within two or three years will be abandoned to die, break down by the wind and burn up by fires following. The legitimate turpentlne operations preceding and carried on upon trees later to be Cut for sawlogs is a wise use of forest products, and never to b. discouraged.
 Alabama has some very good forestry laws, but in the main the state lacks system and machinery for putting them in operation. Most of all the state needs a wide awake forester who can give his undivided attention to the educating of the people to the necessity of forest pres ervation fire protection and a wiser use of the forests that remain. Alabama has reached a stage where it is time to take account of stock. The old growth for ests are wellnigh exhausted and wi1 be almost entirely within the next 15 years. Young growth will follow the old if it is given protection from fire and unmolesteda

Washington, May 9.-(Special.)-A pre- liminary report of the examination of for est conditions existing in Alabama has just been completed by J. H. Foster of the United States forest service, in CO., operation with the state commission of forestry.
 In a response to a letter which was sent by the United States forester to the gov ernors of all the states inviting federal and state cooperation in examining forest conditions and outlining forest policies, the early part of this year, Governor Ccmer of Alabama, through the commis- sion of forestry, arranged at once with the forest service for this examination ip this state. The state commission had but s2OO available, which was duplicated by the forest service, but with this small amount the investigation was started to summarize the existing conditions in the state and to outline the needs for im- proved legislation and a systematic and conservative method of handling the for est lands and forest problems In general.
 The report brings out many interesting facts concerning the past and present condition of the states forest resources. Originally Alabama was covered with magnificent forests varying from hard woods in the mountains of the northeast to the great pine forests of the coastal plain. The mountains of the north con- tain valuable deposits of coal, iron and other minerals. and the pine and hard wood forests have been badly stripped from the rough slopes to supply the great need for timber in the mines and lumber for the local and foreign markets.
 The southern coastal pine belt was the last to be invaded by the lumberman. These forests have been harvested like grain in the field, cutting, slashing and leaving much of the ground clean behind. The original forests of longleaf pine, the
