BANKER REMOVES BEARD
THAT LOOKS LIKE HANDS,
Director of Roumanian Institution
Takes Preeaution Upon Visit
ing Constantinope

BRAILA Roumania, March t3,-The
director of Braila bank, having to
visit Constantinople few days ago
found on arriving there that the au-
thorities insisted that he should shave
off his beard
Expostulating, he was informed that
his beard was of exactly the same
shape as that of Abdul Hamid, the
former sultan, and that since many
supporters of the old regime wear
their boards thus he might be taken
for a reactionary and expelled from
Constantinople. Thus it was for his
own good that the authorities wished
to shave him. on this explanation the
banker consented to the sacrifice.

CONSERVATION
PUZZLES SOLONS
SENATE COMMITTEE FINDS
TASK HARD
Bsllinger-Pinchot Controversy Reveals
Fact that Various Departments Do
Not ze-Classification
Hard to Determine


WASHINGTON, March 13.-Senators
from public land states, who were ap-
pointed a special committee to pre-
pare conservation bills that would
harmoni2e the laws. are finding their
task far from an easy one.
A number of bills are before the
committee, but it is giving its atten-
ton principally to the measure known
as the classification bill,
The committee is composed Of Sen
ators Smoot, Utah; Clark, Wyoming.
and Dixon, Montana, Republicans,
and Hughes, Colorado, and Chamber
lain, oregon, Democrats.
A majority of them arc favorabl
TO the general theory of conservation.
Senators Clark and Hughes, however,
are antagonistic TO the proposed
change of the public land policy.
The testimony before the Ballinger-
Pnchot committee has disclosed that
the general land office, the forest ser
vice. the reclamation service and the
geological survey are not operating in
sympathy, and this makes the work Of
the committee more difficult.
It is their opinion that if the classi-
tication and the withdrawal bill can
he passed, the way will be easy for
other measures, which look to the dis
posal of the lands under the Classifi-
cation bill.
The principal obstacles in the way
to an agreement in the classification
bill are found in provisions relating
to oil lands and water power sites
This bill authorizes the secretary Of

Many senator's contend IT would he
impossible to classify oil lands in adj
vance and senators who hold this
view are making trouble for the COM
mittce.
Would Lease Oil Lands
The committee itself appreciates
this difficulty. and there is a tenden-
cy for the leasing rather than the
sale of lands supposed to have oil de-
posits. If the bill should be framed
with this idea. any person could lease
a tract Of land, put down his well, and
If successful in finding oil, then could
acquire the land under the mining
laws.
The subject Of water power has been
the basis of many conferences with
the executive branch Of the govern
mont Tie states control the streams,
and it is recognized "A difficult for the
