A letter written by Miss De Janon to
her father, ferdinand De Janon, a broker
of p East 21st street, New York, which
she had not yet mailed, was also found.
In this it was revealed that the girl
may have been contemplating suicide.
She asks Cohens wife in it to forgive her
for coaxing her husband to go away with
her, so that she would not have to attend
private school at Byrn Mawr, where
she was to have been sent on Jan. 8.
When asked by the police whether she
still held desire to kill herself, the pen
itent Miss De Janon cried bitterly and
said between sobs:
NO; / don't want to die now. I want
to go to New York to live with papa or
back to my grandfather in Philadelphia.
l will go to the school or any other place
they want to send me. Oh. l am so glad
you have found me. don't want to be a
runaway any more"
Cohen told the police that he first met
Miss De Janon at the Bellevue Stratford
last October. when she came there to live
with her mother. After her mother died,
he said, she came to him frequently ask
ing him for advice. She seemed to be
melancholy and told him she did not want
to go away to school,
On Dec. 10, Cohen said, Mr.. De Janon
asked him to go away with her. After
his letter to her of Dec. IA she met him
again and arranged to meet him on Dec.
=. On this occasion she wept and he
consented to go with her

feiture the interest of persons par
tie.pating in such monopoly. Such
law should apply to Alaska as well as
to the United States.
In considering the conservation of
the natural resources of the country,
the feature that transcends all others,
is the soil Of the country. It is incum-
bent upon the government to foster
by all available means the resources
Of the country that produce the food
OF the people. To this end the con-
servation Of the soils of the country
should be cared for with all means at
the governments disposal.

passage Of the reclamation act

lands without being convinced that
this is one Of the most important
methods of conservation of our nat
ural resources that the government
has entered upon. II would appear
that over 80 projects have been un-
dertaken. and that a few of these are
likely to be unsuccessful because of
the lack of water or for other rea-
sons.
One Of the difficulties which has
arisen is that too faa9y projects IN
view Of the available funds have been
set on foot. The funds available un-
der the reclamation statute are in
adequate to complete these projects,
within a reasonable time. And yet the
projects have been begun; settlers
have been invited to take up and in
many instances have taken up. the pit
land within the projects, relying upon
their prompt completion. The failure
to complete the projects for their
benefit is. in effect breach of faith

announced action of the Missouri,

individual drinking cups in the
coaches of many of It's trains. Pre-
paration is being made whereby the
cups viii be dispensed from auto
matte vendors placed beside the water
coolers in each coach It is also un-
derstood that the cups will be placed
in many of the important stations.
The road had arranged to make its
drinking water service more sanitary
some time before DR.. J. c. Mahr, state
health commissioner of Oklahoma,
gave notice that the board OF health
had abolished the public drinking cup
to take effect May 1st. The railroad
simply wished to do all it could to
protect the health of its patrons.
Other states to the north, such as
Iowa and Kansas. through which the
Rock Island runs, are also making a
fight against public drinking cups
The progressive action of the

plans have been drawn, the cost de-
nnitely estimated. and the trafie
which will be Accommodated is rea-
sonably probable, l think it is the dutv
OF congress to undertake the project
and make provision therefor in the

The president in concluding SAYS;
For reasons which 1t is not neces-
sary here to state, congress has seen
fit to order an investigation into the
interior department and the forest
service Of the agricultural department.
The results of that investigation are
not needed to deterrline the value of,
and the necessity for, the new legis-
lation which l have recommended in
respect to the public lands and in
respect Of reclamation. earnestly
urged that the measures recommend
ed be taken up and disposed of
promptly. without awaiting the In
vestigation which has been deter
mined upon.

secretary of the interior in respect 10
the future conservation OF the public
domain in his present annual report.
He has given close attention to the
problem of disposition of these lands
under such conditions as to invite the
private capital necessary to their de-
velopment on the one hand, and the
maintenance of the restrictions neces-
sary to prevent monopoly and abuse
from absolute ownership on the other.
These recommendations are incorpor-
ated in bills he has prepared. and they
are at the disposition of the congress.
I earnestly recommend that all the
suggestions which he has made with
respect to these lands shall be EN-
bodied in statutes, and especially, that
the Withdrawals already made shall
be validated so far as necessary and
that the authority of the seere-
tary of the Interior to withdraw

needed shall be made complete and
