Chamber Of Deputies Adopts Commit
tees Plans for Relief.

Rome, Jan. 10.-The special meeting of
the Chamber of Deputies, which was
called to consider the adoption of meas
ures of relief for the devastated provinces
of southern Italy, was marked by elo-
quent expressions of sympathy and grief
over the terrible disaster. The govern
ment measures for the relief of the SUIT
ferers which were entrusted to n parlia-
mentary committee were finally adopted
bv a vote of 403 to 5. The dissenting votes
were greeted with howls and Kisses. while
prolonged applause followed the an
nouncement of the result Some of the
members particularly those who partlci-
pated in the rescue work, criticized the
relief organization, especially the decision
of the government to entruSt it to the
military authorities. The proclamation
of a state of siege in the stricken zone
was denounced on the ground that it con
tributed to the, isolation of towns and
villages.
Deputy Felice. whose brother was KILL
ed at Messina. shouted during the course
of fiery speech:
IF | had been in charge we would
have saved half of Messina."
Premier Giolitti explained that the gov

gravity of the circumstances. He de-
clared that the military authorities never
asked that a state of siege be proclaimed.
but that it was only thought of when the
project of Messina notified him that loot
ing had begun on ii large scale. 1t was
made necessary by the presence among
the ruins of bands of pilagefs and the
stringent measures had proved effective.

Authorities Of Chicago Hunting for
Missing Pastor.

Detroit Mich, Jan. 10.-Today'S de-
velopmcnts failed to throw any con-
siderable light on the Rattle Run
church murder mystery in St. Clair
county. Motive for the killing of
Gideon Browning, whose dismembered
BODY was partly burned in the church
stove. is still lacking. Rev ]. S. Car
michael, missing pastor of the church,
was reported during last night and to-
day to have been seen in Indiana, in
Chicago and in Wisconsin, but verified
reports OF the preachers whereabouts
are still lacking at the close of the
fifth day following the murder.
The report that Rev. Mr.. Carmchael
was carrying $4,000 insurance has PROV
ed Incorrect He had only $4,000 insur-
ancc and il is said that part of this
was void in the event Of suicide.
An interesting development today
was the report that shortly before last
Tuesdays murder, Rev. Mr.. Carmichael
ordered all the lamps of the church
flied with oil It had been customary
to use only some of tine lamps and
those not used regularly had not been
filled for long time. In directing that
the lamps be filled, however, the
preacher made it plain that none OF
them should be overlooked. NotWita-
standing the preachers directions We've
carried out it has developed since that
after the murder the oil was low in
many of the lamps AS the lamps were
NOT used since the last filling the
theory is advanced that the oil from
the lamps We're emptied on the body 10
hasten the crematinS.
A good deal of surprise has been
manifested over the almost complete
cremation of the victims body. only a
few bones and fragments of flesh be-
ing left. Foot prints left by the pastor
in the church yard, indicate that his
last movements were made just as the
soft ground was beginning to freeze
and this would have been between 1
and > O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Ii was discovered also that instead
of tving his horse in the shed back of
the church. the interior of the shed be-
ing visible from the highway in the
moonlight he left his rig in the shed
back of the Lutheran church across the
road Here the horse would not have
been seen by anyone passing. . the
preachers footprints between the two
churches have been accurately tracked
by means of the defOrmitE that caused
him to turn one foot outward as ne
walked.

King Manuel Pale and
Rides With Difficulty
Portuguese Ruler Ordered 10
Make Frequent Sea Cruises.
In Contingency Of His Death Mon
archy Is Threatened.

Lisbon, BY Way Of Badajos, Spain,
Jan lO.-In order to dissipate the
rumors current here that his recent
illness had entailed lung trouble, KING
Manuel, attired in the uniform of a
field marshal, yesterday rode through
the principal streets of the city, 1ol-
lowed by a brilliant staff
1t was noted generally that the King
was very pale and that he sat on his
horse with difficulty. Afterwards His
Majesty went aboard the royal yacht
Amelia His physicians are insisting
that the King shall make frequent
cruises in the hope that the sea air
will strengthen his constitutional
weakness.
1t is said that the Duke OF Oporto,
the Kings uncle and heir apparent TO
the Portuguese throne, has declared
that in the event of Manners death
nothing could induce him to assume
the crown. In such circumstance, as
there is no other descendant OF the
royal family in direct line Of success
sion, the monarchial form of govern
ment in Portugal would be seriously
jeopardiZed.
King Manuel of Portugal is the son
of King Carlos, who with the Crown
Prince LUZ Philippe, was assasslnatad
in Lisbon in February OF last year
Manuel at the same time received
Slight wound. He is 10 years old and
succeeded to the throne Immediately
upon the death of his father and his
brother.
King Manuel is blonde and is con-
sdered handsome. He is fond of out
door life and is proficient in riding,
shooting and tennis. He was reared
with great care by his mother, Queen
Marie Amelie, who is a daughter Of
Philippe Duke of Orleans.

OF LARGE AREAS
STATE FORESTER GRIFFITH HAS
PLAN TO SAVE FORESTS OF
THE NORTH
ISSUE DEBT CERTIFICATES.
With Money Raised He Would Buy Vast
Tracts and Cultivate Them for
Future Generations.
LUMBERMEN BECOME INTERESTED.

MADISON, Wis. Feb. 81 Special. ]
State Forester Edward NJ. Griffith,
who probably knows more about Wis
consin's forests and the states future III
regard to timber than anyone else in the
country, has many plans in mind for
legislation this winter. He has given out
statement of conditions and of his
hopes for the future. The state forester
says:
one Of the greatest conservation problems
in Wisconsin today Is the requirement Of
adequate forest reserves with as little de-
lay as possible. Delay In creating adequate
reserves will result in double dlsadyaut-
age,-ncrease in cost and deterioration of
the lands. The lands most suitable for
forestry purposes are now largely IN the
hands of spectators ana are rapidly dete-
riOratiug through fires and neglect They
can be purchased at the present time al "A
much greater advantage than when the
prices have increased and large tracts been
broken up amongst small purchasers. II
the constitution of the state permitted, WIS
COuSln could well issue two to three million
dollars worth Of bonds to run fifty years In
order 10 purchase the lands that are i'm
m"dintely needed. At present the state Is
limited to a bonded Indebtedness Of only
$4,000. An amendment TO the consUtu-
zion providing for this Will be introduced at
the present session Of the Legislature, but
even without any opposition, SIX years
must clapse before bonds could be issued
and enormous disadvantages would result
from the delay. Hence, some other tenn
purury means must be employed.
The Legislature VIII be asked TO authorize
Tn" state board of forestry 10 issue certiii-
Gates of Indebtedness on the lands that are
now held for forest reserves, In sum not
To exceed $lvpDppD, the certificates to run
thirty years mt 1 per cent interest. Care
tul Investigation by the attorney genera,
hus shown that such a law would not be
unconstitutional and the plan seems to be
entirely feasible and it would obviate the
necessity Of an annual tax to accomplish
the same result.
In order To pay the interest on the Certlh-
Gates 50 ISSUED, the Legislature should i'm.
pose a conservation charge of - cents per
horse power per annum on all developed
water powers on the Wisconsin. Chippewa
ana Mcn0mincc rivers, as these are directly
benefited by the present reserves. Any sur
plus over the amount OF the interest shuald
h" used only for the purchase of lands 10
br added TO the forest reserve upon the
hnadWalrrs of the rivers upon which the
water powers pay the conservation charge.
The state board of forestry has been able
to contract for large tracts of land ut Il low
price. Some 5000 acres, rXccllently sit.
uatcd for forest reserve purposes Will be
obtained for only 81. - per acre Owners Of
water powers are willing to sell lands To
the state at n lower prC" than to other
buyers, because OF the benefits that VIII

TO RAISE STATE LOANS
BRAZEAU HAS PLAN TO RAISE
DEBT LIMIT
Constitutional Amendment VIII Provide
Sums Necessary for Development
Of the State.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. o. Special. !
The resolution for constitutional
amendment to permit the state to incur
"a funded indebtedness was presented by
Senator Brazen in the Senate yesterday
afternoon. This plan to allow the state
10 raise money 10y loans upon state bonds
or certificates of indebtedness has been
under consideration for many years and
the adoption Of such an amendment is
said 10 be absolutely necessary if plans
for the development of the state are
to be carried out.
Under the constitutional limitation
fixed by the constitutional convention
sitting sixty years ago, the state is pro-
hlbitcd from mourning any indebtedness
Of any character in excess of 100000.
The resolution Of Mr. BraZeau simply
changes the section of the constitution
i'm which this limitation is included, so
as 10 permit loans by the state to the
extent of per cent Of the assessed val
uation Of the state. That valuation nj
the present time is $2,410,J6l, 1886, so
that if the constitutional amendment OF
Mr. Brazcau is finally adopted, state
loans may be contracted TO the amount,
in round figures, Of S25,OOO,OD. Under
the terms Of the Brazcau resolution
state bonds may be issued for term of
fifty years.
