Turpentine Timber Running Short.

Investigation by the United States
Fores, Service shows that the avail
able supply Of turpentine timber In
this country Is likely to be exhausted
within the next fifteen years. This
condition will be a surprise 10 many
who have held that large areas OF fine
timber In Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas will come under production
and thus tend to offset the falling off
in the East. II has been found, how
ever, that The conditions differ In these
States, as the timber lands are held
in bodies OF considerable extent by
large companies. which will not al
low their timber to be bled, believing
that the damage done to the timber
by turpentining more than offsets the
additional revenue. For this reason
the naval stores industry will probably
never become the factor In these
States that it has on the, Atlantic
coast. n,

NAVAL BILL FINALLY
PASSES THE SENATE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE naval
bill, carrying total appropriations OF
about S136,000,oo0 was today passed
by the senate. after having been un-
der consideration for three days. The
bill WAS changed by restoration of the
house provision for two battleships OF
$4,000 tons displacement, to cost S6,-
600, 900 each.
An ineffectual effort was made to
defeat the amendment for restoring
the marine corps TO battleehips and
cruisers. which was placed In the
measure.
The senate voted down the amend-
ment reducing the size of battleships
below $4,000 tons displacement. as
provided by the houoe While the
provision WAS under discussion, Sen
ator Perkins referred to the recent
criticism OF himself by the president,
saying he did not believe the latter
had violated the ninth commandment,
Mr. Perkins thought there was no
danger of war with Japan. He be-
lieved In living up to the treaty with
Japan under which the states retain
all police powers.
An impassioned appeal to the senate
to reverse its action was made by Sen
ator Perkins in the case of the ship
Utah. He declared 1t would be neceS-
sary to keep powerful fleet In the
Pacific. and said the voyage Of the
fleet around the world had done more
to promote peace than anything that
had been done by this country.
The defeat OF the amendment favor.
Ing the smaller type of battleships
! WAS an aye and no vote, 30 to 45.
Senator La Toilette spoke on his
amendment to create a commission for
considering the work of the navy in a
smaller number OF yards or stations
He said no senator who had navy

member Of the committee on naval az
fairs. but Messrs. Frye. Flint, and 9th
ers, suggested that II such policy

mittees on commerce, agriculture, etc.

CALHOUN JURY INCoMPLETE;
TAlESMEN UNABLE TO QUALIFY

San Francisco, Feb 1.-THE rou-
tine OF jury examination was resumed
today in the trial of Patrick Calhoun
and there were few departures from
the monotonous repetition of inter.
rogations that have grown familiar
through constant usage during the last
month, with the session shortened
because Of the entrance of new
venire. the attorneys today succeeded
in disposing of twenty talesmen, none
of whom were able to qualify, although
three were discharged upon challenge
over the objections of the defense.
When court adjourned the defense
had signifled Its readiness to accept
Ferdinand a. Haber, a retired wine
dealer, who was passed to try Abra-
ham Ruef IN the case of extortion
from French restaurant proprietors,
wherein Ruef plead guilty. The tales
men expressed BELIEF that he could
consider the case fairly and was con-
fident that he realized the Importance
of his duties as Juror.
The trial will be resumed tomorrow,
when the effort to fill the two vacant
places In the jury box will be con.
tlnued.
