PLANTERS TALK
Of THEIR
WORK
Second Days Session Given Up
to Committee Reports and
Discussion.
THE VALUE OF TREE PLANTING
Forester Hosmer Reads Paper,
Telling of What Has Been
Done Past Year.

The necessity of preserving the exist
ing forests of Hawaii and of planting
new ones in order to preserve the water
supply so essential to the successful
operation of the sugar plantations was
brought out and thoroughly discussed
at the sugar planters meeting yester-
day afternoon. B. F. Dillingham;, chair
man of the committee on forestry, was
not present and consequently no report
of the committee has as yet been pre-
scented, but Ralph Eosmer, territorial
superintendent Of forestry, read paper
in which he told of what has been ac-
complished during the past year and
outlined to some extent the plans that
have been made for the encouragement
and extension of tree planting in Ha-
wall. Mr.. Hosmer said in part:
'During the past year the chain of
established forest reserves has been eX-
tended by the addition of two new
reserves on Kauai, making the reserve
system on that island complete so far
declaration go-with the possible ex-
ception Of the privately owned noun
tain ridge, crowned by the peak known
as Houpu. that lies to the south of
Lihue. The upper slopes of Mauna Kea
on Hawaii have also been set apart as
a reserve to facilitate the forest plant
ing experiments ON that mountain, now
in satisfactory progress under funds

This reserve differs in character from
all but one of those previously created,
in that its object is not watershed pro-
lection but timber production. 1t Will

tanned from the forest planting that Is
planned for the upper slopes but the
work has at least been started. Al
together there are now twenty forest
reserves in Hawaii, aggregating total
area of 545.764 acres, of which 3o7, lSO
acres, or 65 per cent, Is government
land.

When this announcement was made
today the families and relatives of the
men became wild with grief. Their
protest against refraining from further
rescue work resulted in demonstrations
that were small riots.
The feeling is so tense that the local
officials have called for state troops to
prevent rioting.

THE PRESIDENT MUST DECIDE

He or Bailinger Is to
Be Endorsed.
by Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. November l7.-(iit
ford Pinchot, chief of the United States
forest service, is not content to let mat
tiers stand as they are between him and
the secretary of the interior, Il. A. Bal
hnger. Neither is he willing to allow
the President to wear the smile that
won come off and decline to commit
himself III the matter.
1t is reported around Washington
that Mr.. Pinchot has written the Presi
dent demanding that ne declare himself
one way or the other. The head of the
forest service insists on an answer to
the question as to who is right, he or
the secretary of the interior.
The dispute concerns the withdrawal
of certain public lands from homestead.
ing by the forest service, these lands
being contiguous to waterpower sites.
The forest service officials acted on ad-
vice of the former encouragement s de-
partment, the advice coming specificaI-
~ from the deputy attorney general at
tached to the secretary of the interior s
department.
Secretary Ballinger has put most of
the lands so withdrawn back into the
homesteading list, withholding only
those parts Immediately adjoining the
power sites.
During all the time the dispute has
been in progress, there has been nc
official acknowledgment of any dis
pute, but plenty of official denials. Pin
chot S action now will force the matter
to an immediate issue.

Pinchot s Position.

The position taken by Mr.. Pinchot is
that of conserving potential wealth for
the people, while, on the other hand, his
friends claim that the secretary of the
interior is more inclined to favor the
corporations who may want these power
sites. In recent address, made at
New Orleans on October 80, Pinehot
explained his position as follows:
"There is no reason why the water
power interests should be given the
peoples property freely and forever ex-
cept that they would like to have it
that way. 1 suspect that the mere
