JOHN Of
CR0N5TADT, noted
PRIEST, IS DEAD
Had Wonderful Influence Over
Russian People for Hall
a Century.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2.-FatheI
John, of Cronstadt, is dead. The noted
priest for some time had heen suffering
from chronic dropsy and intestinal com
plants. and the end, though sudden
was not unexpected.
Father John was born November 80,
1929. After graduation at the st. Peters
burg Seminary he became a priest OF
the Andrew Church. at Cronstadt,
where his zeal and devotion drew about
him hosts of followers and attracted
the attention of the Emperor, who on
stantly befriended him.
A pilgrimage of the present Empress
to the shrine of st. Seraphin, which
among piouS Russians was believed to
have been responsible for the birth of
the desired heir to the throne, was
undertaken on Father Johns advice.
The late years of Father Johns life
were clouded by the III repute of the
sect of Johnites, which was exploited
by an INSCRIPTIONS group of men and
women to their great financial ad-
vantage. The priests eyes were opened
to this only last summer. when he
mathematical the false leaders.

STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH SEES NEED
Of MANY CHANGES
Keeping Milk at Given Tempera-
ture Until Consumer Gets II
Should Be Compulsory.

TRENTON, Jan. 2.-Should the in
coming Legislature adopt recommended
tons made in the first report of the
r~eorganized State Board of Health
there will be many radical changes.
Probably the most important recon-
m%endation suggests that there be a
law requiring that all milk produced
for sale shall be cooled to fifty degrees
or less as soon as it is produced and
kept at that temperature until it is
placed in the hands of the consumer
Complaint is made that the existing
laws providing for immediate reporting
of contagious diseases are not observed.
The board wants these rigidly enforced,
SO that scientific data can be obtained
in a complete a Comment is made
that as reports are now received the
system is practically useless.
The board contends that the control
OF tuberculosis in cattle should be
vested in it. Supervision of construc-
ton OF buildings used for slaughterins
purposes is also wanted. As to sum-
mary authority to deal with local
boads of health, the report says that
the present method is SO slow and cum
bersome as to be of little or no value.
The board also wants money for the
publication of bulletins at frequent in
tervals to show the work done by its
various departments. i
1t is also recommended that a bac-
THEOLOGICAL department be established.
The present laboratory is inadequate
and valuable experiments cannot be
made in it. say the commissioners.
The matter of sewage is discussed
n it is shown that the flow is in
creasing at the rate of 80 per cent. in
ten years; that large quantities of 9TH
erwise potable water is contaminated
by this flow and that the oyster in
dustry. the value OF which is estimated
at Sc, 100000 a year, is being injured.
The suggestion is that the only way to
wipe out these detrimental influences is
to install sewage publication plants on
all of the sewage systems in the State
now discharging sewage into the Dela-
ware river and'otber waters.

GOVERNOR CHARGED
WITH CONSPIRACY
Oklahoma's Chief Executive Said
to Have Been Mixed up in a
Land Grabbing Scheme.
People Have Every Confidence In the

Have offered Their Assistance

Muskogee, Okla.-Sixty leading bus
meeting here to discuss seven indict-
ments returned late Wednesday by

ments town lot investigation. The
meeting was presided over by Mayor
Martin. Expressions OF confidence in
the high standing, integrity and honor
OF the indicted men were made, and a
committee of seven members was APP
pointed to correct what was termed an
erroneous impression as to the legal.
ity Of land titles existing in Muskogee
end eastern Oklahoma.
More details have become known rc-
garding the indictments. The first in
dictment returned, that against Gov
ernor Charles N. Haskell, Clarence w.
Turner and Walter r. Eaton, alleged
conspiracy to defraud the government.
The second indictment returned was
against William T. Hutchins and Clar-
ence w. Turner. and alleged thirteen
overt acts in conspiracy to defraud
the government. The third Indictment
was against Albert a. English, red
erick B. Sewers and Jesse Hill, aud al
legged ninety-two overt acts in conspir-
acy.
The indicted men are among the
most prominent in Oklahoma. Gov
ernor Charles N. Haskell is Okla
homa's first governor since statehood,
and was elected to that Office in No
vember. 1907. He formerly lived at
Ottawa, o., and removed to this state

amount of pine, fir, and aspen timber.
estimated at 64,000.000 linear feet.
This timber, although not all avail
able at present, Is practically all &C
cessible and can be handled by en-
ploying modern methods of logging.
This addition gives the forest total
area of 1,158,S18 acres.
This recent addition TO the Hum
boldt national forest covers a region
of vital Importance from a watershed
standpoint, since many important
streams upon which extensive irriga-
ton projects are dependent have their
source in the forest. Mining Is also
an important industry of the region
and promises great development in
the future. Already a number Of
stamp mills have been established.
These mills are also dependent upon
the streams OF the region, and the fu-
lure welfare Of the industry is almost
entirely dependent upon cheap and
nearby supply OF timber for fuel and
mine purposes.
