LIQUOR EMPTIED
INTO GUTTER

Fort Collins, Colo, April 21-A
four-years' accumulation Of liquor con-
fiscated in raids on bootlegging points
was poured into sewer today by
City Marshal ]. P. Ryckman in order
to remove temptation from an un-
known booze thief connected with the
city administration.
The confscated liquor was kept in
a storeroom on the second floor OF the
city hall. The room was locked with
Yale lock. A few days ago the mar
shal discovered that someone had
tampered with the wet goods and
that the unknown must be in posses
sion of a key. Inquiry among city en-
ployes was of no avail, hence 1t was
decided to dispose of the liquor.
1t required an hours work on the
part OF two men to pull the corks and
empty the bottles. The brands in
cluded everything from doped orange
cider to genuine Old Grow.

PINCHOT'S POLICIES

Thorough Accord With Forester

Special to The New Mexican.

Special to The New Mexican.
Washington, D. c., April 21-The
Senate today confirmed the appoint
ment Of John r. Campbell to be an
associate justice of the supreme court
of Arizona, and Of Leroy P. Loomis
a newspaper editor, to be postmaster
at Texico, Curry county.
As result OF the representations
OF the livestock, millers' and farmers
associations, Senator :McCumber in.
sists on a 25 per cent duty on hides,
whether dried, salted or picked, and
Senator Curtis is. pressing the same
policy. One hundred and fifty inde'
pendent oil men will be given hear
ing tomorrow as to the necessity OF
duty on coal oil. The Senate favors
an amendment to the tariff bill giving
the President the power to suspend
the tariff and to apply a maximum
rate against any country that discrim-
mates against the products of the
United States.
Taft is With Pinchot.
Washington April 21.-Taft's en-
tire sympathy is with the forest re-
serve and conservation policies is
announced, and stories that vast areas
are to be taken away from the ma
tional forests, are denied in a state
ment regarding the administration S
attitude issued today by Clifford Pin
chot. Pinchot's statement says: ANY
statement that Taft is not in sympa-
thy with the forestry and conserva-
tion movement is without foundation.
On the contrary, I'm authorized by
the President to say that he is in SYM
pathy and stands behind the conser-
vation policy as announced. am
also authorized by the President to
deny categorically the story that large
areas are to be thrown out Of the
national forests by Presidential proc
lamation. The only basis for such a
rumor lies in the plans announced by
the Forest Service several months
ago to provide for the examination
and mapping of boundaries of the ma
tional forests and character of the
land"
Repeated charges, known to be
baseless, have been made that the
national forests contain vast areas of
agricultural land. Whatever agricul-
tural land may be found along the
boundries will be restored to entry
for one of the strongest desires OF
the Forest Service is that the agri-
cultural lands be restored. | have
been interested, but not surprised, by
the persistent circulation of these
rumors. Taft's statement to me,
coupled with authority to make this
public, should set at rest these rum.
ors for good. Friends of these move
ments should recognize our obliga-
ton to the President for his prompt
and direct support"
