ExhaustIns Natural Resources.

Washington.-A bulletin just issued
by the geological survey gives some
startling information on the exhaustion
OF natural resources. The most serious
situation IL that with regard to petro-
leum.
Petroleum has been used for less
than fifty years, and it is estimated
that the supply will last only about
twenty-five or thirty years longer. II
production is curtailed and waste
stopped, 1t may last till the end Of the
century.
Animal and vegetable oils will not
begin to supply its place. One billion
cubic feet Of natural gas are estimated
to be wasted into the air every twenty
four hours. The gas supply will last
about twenty-five years.
Coal has been extensively mined in
the United States for not much more
than half q century, but the consump-
tion is increasing so enormously that
II this increase should continue all the
easily accessible coal would be ex-
hausted by the year 2040, and all coal
by the middle of the twenty-first CEN
tury.
Water power will undoubtedly large
ly take its place. 1t Is estimated that
within thirty years the best iron ores
will have been exhausted, and that 1t
will be necessary to resort to ores that
cannot now be worked at a profit.
This, Of course, means higher prices
unless new and much cheaper pro-
cesses shall have been invented.
Gold, silver and zinc are all SO abun.
dant that the supply is likely to last
for centuries to come. Copper is also
abundant, but is largely in low grade
ores which cannot now be profitably

HOUSE DISCUSSES WORK AND

PROSECUTOR.
NO Government WORK
BUT AMENDMENT CUTTING OFF
FURTHER ALLOWANCE Is
VOTED DOWN.

Washington.-That Francis ]. He
ney, special counsel of the Department
of Justice and also assistant prose-
cutor in the so-called graft cases in
San Francisco, received from the gov
ernment last year $4,000 for which he
performed no service, was the frank
admission of Chairman Tawney of the
appropriations committee of the House
Monday.
How much did Heney receive dur
ing the year 19OS?" demanded Mr..
Murphy, Democrat, of Missouri, "and
what services did he perform?"
HE received $4,000 and performed
no service for the government what
ever during that year." answered Mr..
Tawney.
Subsequently. Mr.. Tawney said:
"As q matter of fact, Mr.. Heney has
not performed any active service for
the last three years. He was ap'
pointed November Z, 1908, and his
active service continued for about
three years, and for which he received
in all $4,000"

with the $1,000 deficiency for the De-
partment Of Justice, for which provis-
ion is made in the urgent deficiency
bill. Mr.. Heney, he said, had received
in all from the government $4,000.
Asked by Mr.. Cox of Indiana If any
Of this deficiency was due to the en-
ployment Of special counsel to prose-
cute any trust, Mr.. Tawney, answer
ing in the affirmative, said that suit
against the tobacco trust had occa-
stoned some of it.
Mr.. Bennett Of New York added that
the prosecution of the turpentine trust
also was responsible for part Of it
Mr.. Clark of Missouri denounced the
appointment Of incompetent district
attorneys, necessitating, as he said,
the employment of special counsel.
The practice had grown into a fad, he
said, and a very expensive fad. He
declared IL there had been a compe-
tent district attorney or two in the
West there would not have been SO
much stealing of public lands.
Mr.. Mann Of Illinois said Mr.. Heney
needed NO defense. "The only people
opposed to him." he remarked, "are
those who sympathixs with some Of
those who have been accused If not
convicted of graft
Mr.. Burke of Pennsylvania called
the Illinoisan to order, saying that Mr..
Mann's admission that Mr.. Heney
needed no defense disposed of the me-
oessity Of consuming the houses time.
Fearful that Mr.. Henry would get
further allowance, Mr.. Fitzgerald Of
fered an amendment prohibiting 1t.
The Fitzgerald resolution was voted
down, as was one by Mr.. Cullop Of
Indiana, prohibiting the payment OF
