ALCOHOL FROM sAwpusr
French Wood Distillstion Can be

Replying to a Chicago inquiry ask

material available. aud the prospect

Invented American process for hat
purpose Consul General Frank IL.
Mason of Paris reports as follows
Very little timber or lumber is saw.
ed IN or near the forests of France so
that the supply of material for such a
process would be limited and exnen-
sive. Apparently the only establish
ment for the manufacture of aIcoho,
from sawdust is at ST. Marcel in the
Department of Ardeche in the south
OF France not far from the Mediter-
ranean. 1t is a new, up to date con
Germ and employs a highly improved
process of an inventor of AK la Cha
pelle which consists of exposing saw
dust to sulphurous acid gas whereby
a chemical action is induced which
enables the alcohol to be generated
and extracted without being mixed
with or contaminated by the sulphur,
rs had always happened when the
sawdust was macerated in solution
of sulphuric acid under the older
processes. Consequently, it is claim
ed that wood alcohol made by the
new processes can be drunk or used
for any purpose to which alcohol is
usually applied.
One metric ton (2,2O4 pounds) of
sawdust yields by this process 100
liters, or -2747 gallons of alcohol, 20
kilos (42 pounds) of dust is pressed
into brisquettes and used as fuel.
Consequently it is claimed that the
process is very profitable. The pro
cess is patened, of course, in France
and the United States.

ANO I HER
MESSAGE
President Will Deal With
Conservation of
Resources

Washington, Dec. 29.-Unless Presi-
dent Taft abandons d pretty firmly
fixed intention, he Will not walt for
the conclusion-or even for the be
ginning of the congressional inquiry
into matters connected with the So
called BallinGer-Pinchot controversy
before sending To congress his special
message on the consery alton of nat
ural resources.
The president is expected to begin
the preparation OF this message as
soon as he has finished the one deal
ing with proposed amendments to the
interstate commerce and antitrust
acts. upon which he Is now engaged.
Furthermore. 1t can be stated that
Mr Taft Is confident that the conser-
walton legislation which he proposes
will be enacted into new statutes
which the friends of the administra-
tion declare Will be the first that
have ever dealt adequately with the
natural resouTces-will be President
TaltS answer to so much Of the crit
icism which has been directed against
him
Chairman Nelson, Of the senate com
mittee on public lands, is cooperating
with the president in the matter of
conservation laws and has assured
him there would be no difficulty In
putting those laws through the senate.
In the house there is likely to be some
opposition, but the president feels
sure IL can be overcome and that the
laws will stand approved before the
summer comes
White House callers, who have talk
ed with President Taft on the sub
ject, describe him as believing that
he will best prove his friendship for
the Roosevelt policies Of conserya-
tion by putting laws on the statute
books that will actually carry these
policies into erect.
The problem 10 be solved is how
best To dispose OF the public lands
containing water power sites, coal and
phosphates. Such lands have been
withdrawn from entry under the gen
eral land laws but they cannot be
held indefinitely and there Is no spe-
c6c laws governing their sale or
lease.
II Is generally admitted that the re-
sourcss must be developed; that the
coal and phosphates must be taken
out by private capital and yet there
must at the same time be safeguard
ed against monopoly. These are the
intricacies with which congress Will
have TO deal.

ordered Chayes not to assume COM

obey Toledo rather than the president.
and as a consequence was arrested
and held in Jail for six weeks. Upon
his release Chayes made the most of
the episode.
Groce and Cannon were notified Of

Cannon quickly seized his companion
and pulled him back into line and
said:
Brace up, old man; we have no
chance under Zelaya's orders
Standing In the center Of the square
formed by 100 soldiers, the two men
heard their sentence read from the
four corners, together with the usual
warning in such cases:
ANY one displaying evidence of
sympathy will be shot in a similar
fashion

Cannon shook his head. attempting to
prevent the bandage being placed over

made up of IL soldiers. who advanced

soldiers at the right to fire upon
GroCe and two soldiers at the left TO
FIRE on Cannon. All four bullets were
effective. Grocc was shot through the
heart and death was instantaneous.
The bullets intended for Cannon tore
