SENATE may PROBE
ROOSEVELT CHARGES
TiIman Insists on Thorough
Investigation.

Washington, Jan. 12-"They have
got to convict me or they have got to
acquit me, one or the other. That is
all there is about It," said Senator
Tillman after making his speech and
referring to the senate in relation to
the presidents charges against him.
It is understood that an effort will
be made in the senate to form a plan
by which an inquiry by the senate as
Indicated by Mr.. Tillman will be OBJ
tanned. The subcommittee of the
committee on appropriations now
have in hand the investigation of the
charges made by the president and
whether that subcommittee or some
special committee will be given the
duty Of fully Investigating the charges
against Mr.. Tillman is to be deter

PROFESSOR GREEN TELLS
OF FORESTRY BOARD WORK
Continued from First Page

used for botany, under the direction
of Profs. Freeman and Oswald, and
for silviculture, that is, the study of
trees and how to grow them, includ-
ing nursery practice, under Prof. S.
B. Detwiler. In addition to these
two subjects, two weeks instruction
was given in entomology, under DR..
Franklin of the State University;
one week in geology under Prof.
Willard of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College, and one week in
general nature study by Prof. LANCE,
principal of the Humboldt High
school, St. Paul. These men are all
eminent in their several lines of
work.
The statements which I have
made are all susceptible of vertical
ton by anyone who will take the
pains to 60 into the matter carefully.
I believe that the day will come, and
that shortly, when the very people,
who are ridiculing this school will
acknowledge that we are doing a
good work.
Il have been in my present posi-
ton, in the department of agriculture
of the University of Minnesota, for
about twenty-one years. When I came
to this department there was not so
much as one student, and the whole
work of education in agriculture was
ridiculed and regarded with contempt
by the larger portion of the people of
the state. Last year the registration
was over !, 100 and this work has in
that time grown from a thing thai
was despised, to be perhaps the
most popular institution in the State
of Minnesota. I believe that twenty
years hence the people of the state
will thoroughly believe in the forestry
school.
With kindregards, sincerely yours
Samuel B. Green"
