Candidates for Assembly Will Havo
Hard Time if They Don't.

The Woman Suffrage party, after an an
day session at the Hotel Martha Washing
ton yesterday, completed its organization
and elected full sets of officers, both gen.
eraI and for the different boroughs. Head
quarters have been secured in the Metro
politan Life Building and will be for
mally opened on February !. After that
any man in greater New York who runs
for the Legislature may take notice that If
he doesn't hold for woman suffrage the
women of his district will nominate man
who does.
The new party is fully alive to the fact
that petition with two thousand sigma
lures gains the right to put up candidate.

TAWNEY REPLIES.
No apologies to Make for
"BetrdyM of the Future"
1From The Tribun. Ruraau.


Washington, Jan. 15.-Gifford pinchot's
criticism of Representative Tawney for re-
porting an amendment to the last sundry
civil bill which cut off all appropriations
from the conservation commission is not
relished by the Minnesotan. Mr. Pincnot
characterized Mr.. Tawney's action as "a
betrayal OF the future" and Mr.. Tawney
makes the following rejoinder:
''If it was betrayal of the future to write
into the laws of the United States that pub
lie money should not be expended without
the authority of Congress. then l am guilty
and Mr.. Pinchot can make the most of it,
THE provision of law referred to was
adopted after mature consideration. A
practice had grown up under the Roosevelt
administration Of creating commissions not
authorized by law and paying the expenses
of such bodies out of the public treasury
The provision was not adopted out of a
spirit of enmity TO the Roosevelt admins
tration. 1t was enacted In the interest OF
good government, TO the end that no exec,1-
tive department should have the authority
to spend money without the express au-
thority of Congress. have no apologies to
make for the part / played In the enact
ment of the law

PARSONS SPONSOR.
Nay Take Charge of Presi-
' dents Conservation Bills.
[From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Jan. 15.-There is strong
probability that Representative Herbert
Parsons may be called on to take charge
of the Presidents conservation bills on the
floor of the House. Representative Mondell.
of Wyoming, chairman of the Public Lands
Committee, has declined to stand sponsor
for the Presidents measures. although he
has informed Mr., Taft that he will in
troduce them in the House "by request
This is not the sort of an arrangement
| which Mr.. Taft desires. He wants some
real friend of the conservation movement
/, TO take charge. Mr.. Mondell has always
been opposed to the conservation movement
and will do all he can to prevent the meas
ures being favorably reported from his
committee.
The ranking member is Andrew j. Vol
stead. of Minnesota, who. although he is
one of the abest lawyers in the House and
thoroughly in sympathy with President
Taft, is an out-and-out insurgent, and as
such could not command the necessary
support from the organization. Following
Mr. Volstead cn the committee is Rep
resentative Smith, of California, who is
follower of Mr. Mondell. Then comes Rep
resentative Gronna, another insurgent. Mr..
Parsons follows and he has received
intimation that the President would pre-
fer to have him assume charge of the bills.
He will go to the White House Monday to
discuss the question.
1t is confidently predicted by a member
Of the Public Lands Committee friendly to
the conservation movement that the only
way in which these bills can come before
the House is on motion to discharge the
Committee on Public Lands from further
consideration of them. AS 1t is at present
constituted, this committee seems inmical
to further conservation legislation. Rep
resentatives Mondell. Smith. Pray, of Mon
tana; Crow, of Missouri; Hamer, of Idaho:
Morgan, of Oklahoma; Robinson. OF Ar
kansas; Ferris, of Oklahoma and Taylor of
Colorado, are counted on TO oppose the
measures, and while they do not constitute
a majority of the committee they can SO
manipulate matters as to make an early
report impossible.

WRITER II SUICIDE.
Barrett Eastman Found Dead
IN M;ssissiDm.

Chicago Jan. Naturalization of the
body of a suicide which was found in
the Bres1ow Hotel, at Biloxi Miss. on
Tuesday, Was made here to-day by Colonel
F. A. Eastman. city statistician as that of
his son. Barrett Eastman. for years known
tc Chicagoans as a dramatic writer
The man arrived in Biloxi from New Or
leans on Monday, and registered as Wilson
Bliss. He was found dead in his room the
following day, with an empty laudanum
bottle on d table near by. He had cut his
initials out of his clothes, and the only
thing left to identify him was a matchbox
on which was stamped plaza Hotel Chi
cago."
That Eastmans suicide was premedi-
tated was indicated by letter written to
his wife four days before his sudden dis
appearance from Chicago a week ago to-
DAY. The letter was found in his dressing
gown last Sunday. 1t was made public by
the widow tonight and reads as follows:
Dear Edith: 1 suppose everybody know
ing the circumstances would judge me bet
ter Off dead. think SO myself and SO do
you AS nobody else would be worse off
not father not mother, not Margaret, and
least of all you-there seems but one
until got to California. where the scandal
could have been avoided But il cannot be-
otherwise. Goodby.
Barrett Eastman was well known in
newspaper and literary circles and in ad-
dition to extensive work for Chicago news
papers was a contributor of prose and
verse to magazines. As a special writer
he attracted attention, and as dramatic
critic occupied a prominent position in the
local newspaper world
Several years ago he married Sophonisba
Harrison, sister Of Carter H. Harrison.
I'd, former Mayor of Chicago His marital
life was unhappy, and a separation took
place. Subsequent to his divorce he re-
married wealthy woman and made his
home in California. Returning from the
West, he again took up newspaper work in
Chicago.
According TO Colonel Eastman. the young
man, who, with his wife, had been living
at hotel here, had suffered for two years
from blood clot over one of his temples.
Colonel Eastman declared that this proved
on his sons mind and had caused him 10 be
often despondent over his health.

PINCHOT In FAVOR
PRAISED At MEETING.
Republican Club Has Discus-
sion ON Forest Conservation.

Clifford Pinchots name brought out ap-
plause whenever II was mentioned at the
first OF the Saturday discussions of the Re"
publican Club yesterday afternoon. Before
Mr.. Pinchot was removed as head OF the
Forest Service he accepted the invitation
of the club to speak at this meeting, the
subject of the day. Conservation OF Our
Natural Resources being specially Sc
lected with reference to his appearance.
He did not como to the city yesterday, and
sent his regrets by telegraph.
Philip w. Ayres, Chief Forester Of New
Hampshire, praised Mr.. Pinchot. He said
1t was his genius and patriotism that were
responsible for the national forest reserves
OF the country. In his plea to the members
OF the club to use their influence with New
York Congressman to support the White
Mountain and Appalachian forest reserve
bills. Mr.. Ayres said that at the present
rate of consumption the hardwood supply
of the country was limited to fifteen years.
Quite a different view OF governmental
policy in regard to forest reserves was
taken by John G. Brady, thirty years an
Alaskan and eight years Governor Of the
territory.
when Roosevelt with one stroke OF his
pen set aside five million acres OF timber
land he violated all laws of forestry. for
now the timber is going to waste and the
pioneer is hampered. 1t is a dangerous
thing to allow an executive officer to
change a countrys policy toward its home
seekers. But think we can trust the man
who is in the White House now to do
things In level headed way.
'I admire Mr.. Pinchot. He certainly put
fat in the fire for while by his action.
He is full of nervous energy. and perhaps
he does not always put the brakes on when
he should"

~ &c Assoclated Press.

London, Jan. I5.-The most exciting scene
of the campaign occurred at Grimsby
where a menacing crowd threatened David
Jloyd-George, Chancellor of the Exchequer
compelling him to fee from hall where
he had been speaking, under police protec-
iion. much as he was driven from a pro-
Boer meeting at Birmingham during the
South African war, when he made his es-
cape disguised in policeman's uniform.
Part OF the provocation for the hostility
shown toward him was caused by the Chan
cellor's unusual course in addressing the
voters on polling day, which has never OBJ
iained before in England and which is con-
sidered by many 20 be unconstitutional
The Chancellor's speech included a predic-
ton of disaster TO the German fleet if il
fought the British. Referring to the in
yincibility OF the British navy he declared:
IF the German fleet in a moment of
madness ever attacked Great Britain it
would be at the bottom Of the German
Ocean in q very few hours
A big crowd waited outside the hall, and
when the Chancellor Of the Exchequer ap-
peared raised shouts Of Traitor" PRO

building and Gordon Of police was drawn

station was used as q refuge. An auto
mobile was telephoned for, and in the
mean time the Chancellor busted himself

rived he drove into town by circuitous
