FEDERAL INTERVENTION

1t is hoped that the state authori-
ties will be able to handle the sltua :

Under the circumstances it is thought
to be inadvisable for the government
at this time, actively to interfere. lest
such action induce serious trouble be-

peaceful solution will be reached

WANT GEORGIA TRADE.
jacksonville, Fla, People Are Urging
the Naval Stores Bill.


Washington, D. C.-The bill to pro-
vide for federal inspection of naval
stores was urged for adoption by q
delegation from Jacksonville, which
appeared before a subcommittee of
the interstate commerce commission
of the house. The Floridians have
been in Washington for some time
working zealously for the passage Of
this measure. The Savannah dele
cation, which was here to appear at
the hearing before the senate COM
nittee have gone, but the supporters
of the bill remained on the scene, alsd
have continued the fight vigorously.
A bill similar to the bill introduced
by Senator Taliaferro in the senate
was introduced in the house by Mr..
Sparkman. It's passage is being urg-
ed at both ends of the capitol. While
on the surface it provides for federal
inspection, its real purpose is to di-
vert from Savannah to Jacksonville
the tremendous naval stores products
now handled through the Georgia
port.
The greatest interest is being shown
in this bill throughout the pine belt,
The naval stores industry amounts
to nearly $30,000,000 a year.

National Board.
TO INCREASE ITS EFFICIENCY
Recommendation Made BY the National
Militia Board Are Designed to
Help Soldiers.

Washington, ID. CAS- the repre'
sentative OF the war department, AS
sistant Secretary Oliver has acted up
on number of recommendation
made by the national militia board,
designed to increase the efficiency ct
the organized militia The recon-
mendation for detail of the non-com-
miSsioned officers of the army for
duty with the organized militia was
approved, conditioned upon the SET
tlement of the question Of the right
to pay the expense for quarters, heat,
light, medical attendance and travel
ing expenses out Of the federal APP
preparations for the militia.
Approval was give nto the reconl-
mendations for a second series OF In
spections, with the view to reporting
on the organization, armament and
discipline Instruction. OF the organ
lied militia; for a system of CORE
spondence schools for the militia; ana
the issue OF horses for militia field
artillery, to be charged against fed
eral appropriations.
Mr.. Oliver disapproved recommends
tons for the allowance Of pay and
travelling expenses of officers OF the
militia engaged in giving instruction
In rife practice, or on continuous
duty at rifle ranges, on the ground
that such payments are not author
lied by law.
Adoption Of cap and collar insignia
to identify the wearer as member
Of the first line Of the national forces.
ETC., was approved, with the proyiso,
however that the time Is not yet ripe
for the adoption Of such insignia. the
recommendation for an allowance for
ammunition cases, bandoleers and
clips Is still under consideration.
In its report the national militia
board said it regarded as Of very
great Importance the question OF the
adoption Of definite military policy
for the United States, with particular
reference to complete coordination
of effort between the regular army
and the organized militia, and COM
bined organization of the two branch
es Of the first line Of defense. Gen
eral Oliver said that this matter Is
already under consideration by the
general staff. The militia board ex-
pressed its approval Of the bill pend
ing in congress, providing for an adj
dition of 612 officers to the regular
army and said that the organized NH
litia will make every effort to secure
its passage.

PATTERSON SWORN in.
AS Governor Of Tennessee
For Second Term.
ADDRESS CAUSED SENSATION
He Bitterly Resented Efforts to Con-
meet Him With the Murder of Ex-
Senator Carmack.

Nashville, Tenn-Malcolm r.. Patter-
son was inaugurated for his second
term as governor of this state at the
capitol.
In his inaugural address Governor
Patterson referred as follows to the
killing of Senator E. w. Carmack:
"Our state is passing through the
shadows; her people are divided; we
save fallen into the habit of distrust,
suspicion and accusation.
There is nothing proper Would
not do to relieve this situation; there
is nothing have done to bring it
about, unless it has been my success
and the honest, open service / have
tried to render in return for the COIL
tldence of the people.
'tBut | am conscious that through
out the state men have repeated SLAM
ders, that some newspapers have cir
culated cruel and false charges and
have even gone so far as to connect
me with tragedy which / deplored
far more than many who have sought
to make out of it a political asset and
to use it as motive and incentive
for unWise, undemocratic and des-
tructiVe legislation.
$50 far as the injustice of all this
relates to me as an individual, or the
pain it ruthlessly and mercilessly in
flicts, it is of no concern to the pub
lie, but, as governor, the people of
Tennessee have a right to have the
Office respected and my service in Of
fetal capacity not impaired by false
and repeated accusations.
''But beyond all else they are en-
titled to know the truth.
eff, as an official, have been gull
ty of conscious delinquency, am UNI
worthy of public trust and the people
have given me an office which
should not hold and of which should
be deprived. ,.
If, in any way, directly or remote
ly, / have sought to encompass the
death of a fellow-man, am deserving
of every stigma that gentlemen may
place upon me, of any indignity and
punishment which law and society
can inflict, for l am the governor Of
the state, clothed with the power of
pardon, and the charge, therefore,
involves the basest and blacklist tur-
pitude.
IF charges are not preferred, or if
they are, and FAIL, believe am en-
titled to ask, for the peace and honor
of the state and in the name of de-
cency, that this reckless defamation
shall cease

APPALACHIAN RESERVE
Victory is Won BY the Advo-
Gates Of Measure.
FAVORABLE REPORT is MADE
On Weeks Bill Ordered BY the House
Committee---The Passage Of the
Bill is Assured.

Washington, D. Advocates of
forest reserves in the White noun
tains Of New England, and the APP
palachian mountains of the southern
states, consider that they won a sig
nificant victory, when the house COM
mittee on agriculture, by the close
vote Of to s, agreed to make IA
vorable report to the house on the
Weeks bill, having the creation of
these reserves in view.
While the Weeks bill is entitled
For the appointment of commits
sion for the acquisition Of lands for
the purpose Of conserving the navi-
gability of nayigable rivers, and
For the protection of water sheds"
without mentioning specifically either
the White mountains or the Appa-
lachians, it was designed for the i'm
mediate relief of conditions said to
exist in sections included in the pro-
posed reserves.
The bill was drafted by Represen-
tatives Weeks of Massachusetts; Cur
rier of New Hampshire and Lever Of
South Carolina, and is agreeable to
nearly all the advocates of the re-
serves.
The bill authorizes the secretary
of agriculture for the protection Of
water sheds Of navigable streams to
administer and protect, for num-
Der Of years, private forest lands up
on any watershed, "whereon lands
may be permanently reserved, held
or administered as national forest
lands" 1t is provided that no tim
Der shall be cut or removed from
these lands except under regulations
approved by the secretary.
Another provision is that all mon
eyes received from public lands by
the United States shall be set aside
for the requirement of lands located
on watersheds, and that commits
sion, to be known as the national for
est reservation commission, shall pc
appointed to consider and pass upon
lands recommended by the secretary
of agriculture for purchase ''for the
regulation of flow Of nayigable
streams" This commission would
consist of the secretary of the interi-
or, secretary of war and secretary
Of agriculture, one senator and one
member of the house.
Still another provision is that rs
per cent of the money received from
each of the national forests created
under this act shall be paid to the
state in which the forest is located
for the benefit Of. the public schools
and public roads.

PRESERVATION OF THE HOME
Conference on Care Of Dependent
Children at White House.

Washington, D. C.--The Importance
Of the Preservation Of the home in
tact was the central theme around
which the discussion revolyed at the
conferences on the care OF depend.
ent children, which formally was
opened by President Roosevelt at the
white house. The subject under con-
sideration was Should the breaking
the home be permitted, for reasons
of poverty, or only for reasons Of in
efficiency or immortality"
1t was the unanimous opinion Of an
array of notable charity workers and
others who took part in the discus
sion that the child can best be reared
under the influence of the home, and
that it should be removed from the
family circle only when proper super
vision at home has become impossi-
bile. 1t was also the concensus Of
opinion that where poverty exists in
the home, state aid should be given.
