Aid Poor Children.

NEW YORK, June 15.-By the aid OF
a gift of a half million dollars from q
philanthropic woman whose identity
has been kept secret, the Children's
Aid Society today opened a free SAM
tarium for sick and crippled children
at Chappaqua, Westchester county.
The sanitarium will accommodate
800 children the year round and occu-
pies the buildings which formed the
Chappaqua Mountain Institute, a
boarding school established by the So
city of Friends in 1870. The grounds
of the sanitarium cover 20 acres. The
society has spent $150,000 in buying
the property and in alterations, while
the income from the remainder of the
gift will be applied to running the in
stitution.

OF BURNED AREAS

ming to conduct a series of expert
ments to determine the proper meth
DDS of reforesting the area. Douglas
fir will be the species used.
1t is believed that on the greater
part of the area simply scattering the
seed over the ground in the fall be-
fore the snow falls or in the early
spring will be sufficient to start a new
growth. On other portions of the
area, however where a growth of grass
and weeds has covered the ground, ii
will probably be necessary to work the
ging brush over the ground. In some
localities sowing by what is called
the seed spot method in which several
seeds are dropped together in spots and
covered with soil will probably be sue
cessful. To test these various meth
DDS five experimental plots have been
selected. These represent the vari-
Gus conditions found on the burn, such
as difference in slope, altitude, expo
sure and vegetation.
This fall large quantity of Doug
las fir seed will be collected and a
quantity soWn on each plot. Next
spring the experiments will be repeat
ed and it is expected that the results
obtained will indicate what methods
and what seasons of the year are best
adapted to the conditions found on
this burn When this is accomplished
the forest service will be in a position
to commence the reforestation of the
Soleduck burn on large scale and to
reseed large areas each year.
1t is believed also that the results
obtained will be of value not only in
solving the problem of restocking the
burn in the Olympic national forest,
but that much will be learned con-
corning the best methods of reforest-
ing denuded areas on other forests
throughout the Pacific northwest
where conditions are similar, and that
thus the work may be largely extend

WILL BE TRIED
IN OLYMPIC RESERVE IN
THIS STATE.
Three Times Has This District Been
Burned Over and No Trees Have
Been Spared.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-An
investigation as to the practicability
of reforesting the great areas of for
est lands which have been devastated
bv fire and which are now lying bar
rem and unproductive is now being
carried on by the United States forest
service in the Olympic national forest
in washington. The area selected for
the experiments comprises several
thousand acres on the Soleduck river,
and was at one time covered with a
magnificent forest of Douglas fir. 1t
was first burned over in 1890 and
again in 1896 A third fire over al
destroying the last remnant of the or
iginal forest, leaving the entire area
treeless.
In some regions a second growth of
trees will come in naturally after
burn, in the course of a few years time,
and where this happens artificial means
of securing reproduction is not nee
essary There are, however, other
burns, where new growth does not
come in readily, due to adverse eli
matte conditions, absence of seed
trees, or perhaps to the impoverish
ment of the soil by repeated fires.
Those areas are often of very large
extent and in such cases some MEANS
such as planting trees or sowing seed,

nature and the forest service is plan

VALIDITY OF THE
FOREST GRAZING

Gates an entirely erroneous concep-
ton of the effect of Judge WelIborns
decision. Judge Wellborn did not
question the right of the secretary of
agriculture to control grazing upon
the national forests, nor his right to
prohibit any unpermitted grazing"
After setting forth that the authori-
ty of the secretary of agriculture to
prohibit grazing without a permit had
been expressly upheld by the United
States circuit court of appeals in the
Shannon and Dastervignes cases. Mr.
Hatton's letter continues:
THE authority of those decisions
was expressly recognized by Judge
Wellborn Those cases were. however
civil cases in which the United States
was granted injunctions restraining
the defendants from grazing trespass
upon forest reservations, while the
cases of Cazajous, Grimaud, and linda,
decided by Judge Wellborn at France
were criminal prosecutions.
Judge Wellborn held that while the
secretary of agriculture has full au-
thority under existing laws of con-
gress to promulgate regulations pro-
higiting grazing upon national for
ests except under permit, and while the
forests can be protected against any
violation of such regulations, by the
bringing of civil actions and suits for
lnJunctions, by the bringing of civil
actions and suits for injunction, still a
violation of the regulations can not be
held to be a crime. In other words
the decision of Judge Wellborn did
not question the right of the secretary
OF agriculture to enforce by civil pro-
cess proper observance of the grazing
regulations, but held merely that vio-
lations of the regulations could not be
made the basis of criminal action.

and ferocious man, with none OF Tue
noble attributes f-kingship, he grant
ed the Magma Charta only because he
feared that his precious skin wouio
otherwise be pierced by the SWORDS OF
his mobiles.
John was the youngest son of Henry
II. by Eleanor of Guinne. HIS carry
career was marked by a dissolute dis
regard for the proprieties and an utter
absence of regard for the rights OF his
subjects. A kind providence saved
him. however, for one good act that
was to render his name immortal
an act forced upon him and consum-
mated only in fear and trembling al
the consequence of refusal.
If John had not been such rascai
and tyrant, the barons would not have
assembled in arms at Oxford, there
to demand of the king proper regard
for their privileges. The mobiles were
received without opposition in Lon
don, which so alarmed the craven who
wore the monarch's crown that ne
consented to whatever terms they
choose to dictate The Magma Charta,
which not only protected the mobiles
against the crown, but secured inn
portant privileges to every class OF
freemen, was the imperishable result
of the demands of the warlike barons.
But Johns heart was filled with re-
venge and a desire for retaliation. He
collected a band of mercenaries and
carried war and destruction through
out his kingdom. The barons there
upon sent a deputation to Philip of
France, offering the English crown to
the dauphin Louis, who was given a
mighty ovation in London and popu-
larly received as the lawful sovereign.
Deserted by his hired followers,
John died miserably in Newark in
1916. He was mourned by few, and is
remembered today only because Of
the great charter which he signed.

March 2, 1907, GA Stat. 1246) the at

! sue out writs of error at once and
have Judge Wellborns decision re-
viewed by the supreme court of the
United States. This is the first op-
portunity the government has mad to
| obtain a ruling upon this question by
the supreme court. The appeal will be
prosecuted to as early a decision as
possible"
Judge Wellborn's ruling, as Mr..
Hatton points out, was directly con-
trary to decisions of the United States
district courts of Idaho, northern CAL
ifornia, and South Dakota, and the
supreme court of Arizona, and also
to an opinion of United States Attor-
ney General Griggs. In explanation
of the course now to be pursued by
the forest service Mr.. Hatton's letter
~ed-.tyL{a5T-
AS hel, -ofore, the grazing reg lla-
tons will continue to be vigorously
enforced upon every forest. Any will
full violation will be at once reported
by the forest officers. and prompt act
ion will be taken. Past experience
has shown that only upon very rare
occasions indeed is court action neces-
sary. The acknowledged justice and
propriety of the grazing regulations
have generally appealed to the sense
of fairness of forest users, with the
result that willing compliance with,
and hearty cooperation in the enforce
ment of, the regulations, have been
the rule, and cases of willful viola
tons have been of rare occurrence.
Where court action is found necessary
it has always been and will continue
to be the rule OF the forest service
to avoid criminal prosecution if pos
sible, and to rely upon remedy by
CINH action.
After remarking that, since the
United States district court for the
northern district of California has held
contrary to Judge Wellborn's decision,
there is no reason why criminal pros
ecut1ons may not, in proper cases, be
brought in that court the decision of
which has equal authority with that
of Judge Wellborn, the letter con-
tinues:
1T is proper also to call attention
to the fact that, pending the appeal
from Judge Wellborn's ruling, there
has been no final determination that
it is not a crime to willfully violate
the grazing regulations, and if in any
case fragrant abuse is attempted in
the meantime, the guilty party will. if
the supreme court disapproyes Judge
Wellborn's ruling, be liable in every
case to criminal prosecution, and to
fine of not more than $500 or i'm
prisonment for one year, or both. as
