Loss of a Good Name.

New England statisticians are a little
slow in discovering that Maine is no
longer entitled to be known as the Pine
Tree state. Twenty years ago the head

when asked where a consumptive could
take refuge to get the full breath of the
pines, answered that no pines had been
left in Maine for q long time previous
Spruce there still is in some abundance,
but 1t is fast falling before the AK of
the lumberman, just as fell the statelier
evergreens.
Now that the pines are gone the cry is
raised that they might have been savd
in large measure If in the early days Of
the onslaught upon our resources any in
teligent effort toward conservation had
been attempted. Scientific forestry is
steadfast to protect, but slow to rebuild
and the majestic forests that gave Maine
her fame can be known no more. With
the full knowledge that a good name is
rather to be chosen than riches Maine
deliberately suffered the sacrifice OF the
one for the other.

Claims Action Was Improper.

I'VE claim that Ballinger's action as
commissioner was improper in his fall
ure to thoroughly investigate the Alaska
claims
That he acted improperly in ordering
these claims to patent, and we charge
that they were on the road to patent
with undue haste when CLAWS interviewed
and saved them. That he acted improperly
in allowing the Alaska claimants to see
all the papers on file in the department.
Cunningham said, in a letter on file at
Juneau that Commissioner Balllnger gave
him the papers

sentative Olmsted, that Secretary Bal
linger specifically denies all this?"

will ask you to consider all our state
ments in connection with this denial
Them" interjected Mr.. Madison, ''you
do claim Mr. Ballinger acted corruptly?
Mr.. Brandeis launched into a reply with
some show of feeling.
No Charge of Corruption.
II have not used the word 'corruptly.' -
he exclaimed, in a high-pitched voice. 81

solemnity. and that no charge of corrup-
ton should he made. 1t is matter fol
this committee to determine whether the
great trust of holding this land for the
benefit of the people and for future gen.
erations is in safe hands. We make no
charge except the charge of the facts. II
is for you, gentlemen, to determine what
the safety and honor Of the country de-
mands.'
Mr.. Brandeis further charges, in con-
nection with the Wilson coal land cases
that Mr.. Ballinger acted as counsel, al
though his name did not appear in a case
which involved perjury on the part of the
claimants and fraud upon the land
laws.
Mr.. CLAWS was on the witness stand
both before and after the statement OF
his counsel. He began his testimony by
relating his connection with the Wilson
Coal Company cases in 1901 and 1902.

Burden on Ballinger.
During the discussion of the testimony
as to young Davis statement. an inter-
esting, and, perhaps, significant. colloquy
occurred between Senator Nelson and
Representative Graham, one Of the DEM
ocratic members.
Senator Nelson sought to draw from
the witness and his counsel the fact
that they had no knowledge that Mr..
Ballinger personally received some let
tiers addressed to the commissioner of the
land office. and that this mail may have
gone to other persons
Representative Graham interrupted with
the remark that he thought the burden
of proof would be upon Mr.. Ballinger
in this connection. He thought that
in an important matter like this the COM

Although the committee was in session
for over two hours yesterday, the testi-
mony of former Land Agent CLAWS was
only fairly begun and he is expected to
be on the witness stand for several more
meetings of the committee.
What Mr.. CLAWS hopes to prove by his
testimony, however, was outlined yester-
day by a statement made by his counsel,
l. D. Brandeis of Boston. After Mr..
CLAWS had outlined his connection with
the Wilson coal land cases in Washing
ton and began his recital of his connec-
ton with the Cunningham cases affecting
Alaskan coal territory, members Of the
commission suggested that the attorney
make a statement as to what he hoped
to prove, SO that the commission could
follow the hearing more easily; and that
course was adopted. After he had spoken
for some time, outlining evidence which he
expects to put before the committee he
was asked to outline the exact charges

McGuire's Fine RENTED.

One of the first official acts Commits
sioner Johnston has done in connection
with the police is the approving of Maj.
Sylvester's recommendation that the bal
ance of penalty OF SIS imposed on
Policeman Frank Mcclure last November
be RENTED in view OF ''extraordinary
meritorious service"
Policeman Mcclure helped to catch a
housebreaKer In the act of prying open
store at 81 Defrees street. MCGUIRE
saw two colored men climbing into the
back windows of the store about o'clock
last Sunday morning. Special Officer
Giddings happened to be on the scene
and Mcclure told him to go around to
the back of the store. The men inside
saw what the policemen were trying to
do and made a break to get away.
MCGUIRE did not let the mere front of
a store interfere with him. and caved
the front door in and chased both men
down an alley.
He and Giddings. caught one of them
and obtained evidence which brought
the other man to a cell. Maj. Sylvester
deemed the capture a good bit of police
work. He recommended a reward of s.
for Giddings and that the SIS remaining
on McGuire5s fine be stricken off.

1T appears first he replied, that Mr..
Ballinger while commissioner of the land
Office took an active part in the oontro-
versy and investigation which arose as to
the validity of the Alaska coal lands, and
by ordering some of the claims to patent
acquired knowledge of Importance. He
personally acted and took part in the
action of the department relating to the
investigation of these claims, which We
assert were fraudulent.
This having been the case, when he
ceased to be commissioner he took the
position as counsel for some of these
claimants"
Senator Sutherland of Utah interrupted
You do not claim that BaIlinger acted
corruptiy as commissioner, but that he
made improper use of the information
which he had obtained.
THAT is not ALL, replied the attorney.
1.-The fact that he acted at all with ref

was not consistent with the highest con-
duct as an officer of the government"

NERVE ALL RIGHT
Commissioner Johnston Com
ments on the Police Force.
WIND MIGHT BE BETTER
Intimates That Attention to Athlet-
les Would Be Beneficial.
TALKS TO THE CAPTAINS
Expresses Himself as Much Pleased
With the Personnel of the
Department.

There is no question about their nerve,
but there may be some question about
their wind
In very interesting talk this morning
about the police department Commits
sioner Johnston adopted this original
form of expressing the hint that perhaps
some little attention to athletics would
be of benefit to the police force of the
District 1t should not be assumed that
the Commissioner, who talked to the
police captains in his Office yesterday
afternoon, made the remark in a critical
manner.
1.-The police force seems to me to be a
splendid organization. The police look
like fine men: ] mean the man you see
on his beat. I told the captains yester-
day. however, that an ounce Of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure. That
means that it is a whole lot better to
prevent thing happening-to stop some
thing before 1t actually occurs-than to
have to run around seventeen blocks. IL
they have the wind, looking for the man
who did it.
Il threw out that suggestion about the
wind for the police to keep tucked away
i'm the back of their heads, that some at
tention to athletics will always be good
for a policeman.
Policeman's Devotion to Duty.
II look upon policeman and a fire.
man in the same light that l look upon
a soldier, that in his devotion to duty
and his willingness to give his life to his
duty and to the protection of others the
good policeman is absolutely loyal. The
case of the policeman In Chicago who re-
signed from the force because he said hA
was not going to sacrifice his life for $50
a month stands out as an exceptional
case in the records of all police depart
ments, and the same applies to the fire
departments.
1.-The police have a duty to perform,
and al it is told in Scripture. greater love
hath no man known than that he should
lay down his life for another.
Another thing that L had in mind, and
about the only criticism 1 could make is
this:
I'm the army a sentinel is instructed to
keep constantly alert and to watch and
observe everything that goes on about his
post. l think a policeman at his post
should keep constantly alert and on the
lookout to see everything that goes on.
He should not fix his attention on any
one thing to the exclusion of all others.
for while he is watching that, something
may happen somewhere else.
Commissioner Johnston expressed him
self as very much pleased with the per-
sonnet of the force.

records filed by Samuel Engler, JUS
tice Of the peace, at SO Newark street,
this city. Two certificates bear the

This is the story told by Mr.. Engler.
William Longley of 45 Second street,
Jersey City. and Margaret Korn of 22o
East Eighty-second street, Manhattan,
we're warm friends. Their close ac-
Quafntances said they were engaged.
Recently they disagreed and Longley
went from Margaret to Sadie Katzen-
stein of 1855 First avenue, New York,
a mutual friend and proposed. He was
accepted, and they went to the office
Of Justice Of the Peace Engler to be
married. On entering the office they
came face,to face with Margaret Korn,
who hadigone there to be witness at
the wedding OF two other mutual
friends. Albert Rheinhardt of Jersey
City. and Louisa Cops, of New York.
To add TO the dramatic feature Of
the situation, Longley stepped over to
Miss Korn and asked her II she would
not be witness of HE wedding to
Miss Katzenstein She agreed and
stood up with them. AS they were
pronounced man and wife Miss Korn
tainted She was revived by the two
newly married oouplea and departed
