SHARP TALKS OF

 CONSERVATION CASE

 : Washington, April 1P--Az sharp pro ftest against delay bys the Interior De- partment in replying to requests Of the ssProsecution'' for the production Of certain correspondence and docu- inents started off the 29th day of the Csongressional sstriaP' of the conserva- tion controversy. Brandeis declared that he called for a mass Of docu- 1llents to be introduced as den1al to the charge made by the attorney general in his summary, that GlaT1s took no steps further criminal prose- cutions of Alaskan coal claimants ana sshabitually iprocrastinated
 He said that he issued general call for all letters bearing on the mat ter These were not forthcoming, he said. and it was not until recently that he discovered from a letter writ ten by A. Christensen to the depart 1nent that various letters referring to : the case had been sent on from Seat tie. This letter was / dated Feb. 8. Brandeis protested vigorously because these letters had not been produced and the Request for their production absolutely ignored
 Attorney Vertrees arose to answer what he called "the imputation that the papers had been concealed.''

mobile for the bishop, a clergyman as private secretary. a general m1ssion-' ary. a vicar general. a coadjutor or a sunragan; but each of these is either inadequate sor undesirable. Division alone would cut all the knots. The chief objections are sentimental and financial. The sentiment of unity is unreasonable. since even now Fairfield county has little intercourse with Windham county. and members Of church organizations complain of the distance travelled when assembling from all parts of the State. Even after division a, kind of unity might be pre- served by maintaining Jointly one church paper. one church club and one Sunday school secretary. The finan- cia1 problem is more serious. and de- mands great wisdom in choosing the line of division, lest one diocese should be much weaker than the other''
 The speaker advocated the line sug- gested by Dr. Seymour, down the Nau- gatuck Valley, making one diocese con sist of Fairfield and Litchfield counties and seven Etowns in New Haven coun- ty; all the rest of the State forming the other diocese. Although the area would be very unequal, the strength in communicants and contributions would be nearly the same.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. April 15- Everett s. Mason, a young civil en- gineer employed on the work being done by the International Power Com pany in the river just above the Am erican falls, performed a daredevil stunt today.

Bleaching a boat and we hurried over

rolled far, far up the beach. It was
a fine sight to see the barelegged,
brawny-armed fishermen exert them
selves in the effort. 1t was scene for
picturing, but before our instrument
was ready they had finished and in
single file ran across the beach
and spit to the opposite shore where
a river or. inlet enters. Here they
crowded into little ferry-boat and
were poled across the inlet to the
outer beach where they scattered on
their homeward ways. We looked, for

their catch. 1t was pretty sight to
see the boats start out for fishing as
they crossed the lines of surf, which
came dashing in gallantly. By this
time we discovered that after all
shells are plenty at Enoshima, and
picked up quantities of haliotis and

bivalves. We had all this time been

THE SACRED ISLAND

There are panels with compositions of
pins and hairpins with heads COM
posed of shelly flowers and rosettes;
there are spoons for mother of pearl
and typical little Japanese made
tea saucers in which the tea cups are
to be placed in serving tea to guests;
there are little cups, for drinking sake
or water from sacred fountains, cut
from white ovules or from spotted
cowries, to which are attached by
silk cord a smaller shell to serve as
netsuke for suspending them at the
girdle; there are whistles and trum-
pets made from various kinds of
shells; there are mice and pigs and
other animals, quite lifelike in form
but all composed only of shells. To
tell the truth these shops did not so
much interest us as we walked
through Katase, as they did later on
in Enoshima proper. We believed that
most Of the shells there offered came
from all sorts of distant places, and
had no doubts as to the actuality of
any shells remaining in the immediate
locality. When we had passed the vii
lage we came out upon the beach

the mainland with the island The
sand was heavy and we took off our

formed that it proved much more
than expected, so far as getting rid
or the old stumps were concerned,
says Homestead. The cost to make
this stump burner was $125 and it
was made as follows: The steel
Jacket from an old abandoned food
cooker was used for the lower part,
and the square part for the top was
bought from local timer, it and the
joint of pipe costing sips. They are
both little heavier than ordinary
sheet iron. In operation, the device
is placed over the stump and a fire
built around same with anything that
may be handy for fuel. In some cases
chips were used; in others, old rails,
and in still others, pieces were split
from the stumps themselves. Not only
did the burner consume the entire
stump in short time, but in many
cases the roots were burned out far
down in the ground. A similar burner
might be constructed from many
things that are every year thrown in
the scrap heap, and if the necessary
material could not be found in the
scrap heap, any timer would build
one for small sum and your stumps
would be burning while you were do
ing something else. The boys would
simply love to operate one Of these
burners at least until the novelty wore
off, and possibly the promise of
small sum of money when the last
stump was burned out would prolong
the novelty for sufficient time to do
the business.

that there are shell shops at Enoshima
