message to Congress

message to Congress
Mr.. Taft asks for new land laws
which have been drawn by Secre-
tary Ballinger.
The message also asks Congress
to validate Withdrawals by the Sec
retary of the Interior, and points
out the difficulty of enacting laws
that will both conserve and develop.
Separation of the soil from the
minerals beneath it is urged as we'll
as laws to prevent monopoly both
in minerals and water powers.
The President calls attention to
the need of conserving the fertility
OF the soil. which work, he says, is
more important than saving woods,
waters or minerals. He recommends
loan Of 100000 to complete ir-
rigation projects already commenced
and remarks upon the distressing
condition of those settlers who have
taken up land and the irrigation de-
layed. Failure to complete these
projects. he says. is "in effect a
breach of faith" And the people
need relief from their distressed con-
dition.
Discussing inland waterways, the
President strongly recommends the
Improvement of the Ohio River, from
Pittsburg to Cairo. and of the up
per Mississippi. The former project
would cost s63,000,000.
An experimental reforestation at
the mead Of navigable streams by
the Forest Service is recommended,
and a new law is urged on small
areas not included in the national
forests.

Ferris Says He And His Opponent

New York Especially The tale of
a battle with revolvers between two
watehmen In a store at Broadway
and Twenty-frst Street is told by
the survivor, John Ferris, who was
familiarly called "Old Pop" Ferris.
killed was William Woods, 20 years
old
After the fight Ferris wrote a let
ter to the police and one to his wife ;
but he was not arrested until the
Janitor went to the store next morn
ing.
So far as can be learned, the men
quarreled over their work. and lat
er, when in liquor, fought with their
fists and then with revolvers, until
unscathed. He said he lodged the
bullets fired by the older man.
The shooting was done in the en-
gine room in the basement of the
store. Here. according to Ferris,
the watchmen shut Themselves up to-
gether and blazed away at close

The dead man leaves a widow and
three children living at % Twelfth

Ferris lives at $50 East One Hun

has wife and two boys, the latter
being employed at Tiffany's. This

Two revolvers were turned over
to the police by Ferris. One of
them, which he said was his own,
was Of .32 caliber; the other was
.3S caliber and had four emptied
chambers.
After the shooting Ferris very
quietly sat down and wrote to police
headquarters. setting forth what had
occurred and asking that some one
be sent to arrest him and take charge
OF the body. He also wrote to his
wife, and then went out to mail the
letters. When the janitor came in
the morning he summoned a patrol
man and Ferris was arrested.

store for 81 years and Woods for s

sib Shibley, Foster-Brother OF The
Other Boy Shot-Nassib's Father,
Who Killed Wife And Himself. In
1908. Had Persistently Fought
Certain Syrian Societies.

New York Especially A venge-
ful Syrian plot, which partially mis-
carried, may be the explanation of
the act of the seeming madman who
wantonly shot down two six-year-
old boys coasting on Washington
Heights, killing one OF them and
fatally wounding the other. Such
meager clues as the police had were
followed up dilige1tly in the effort
to run down the shaggy dark man.
described by the panic-stricken boys
among whom the murderous strang-
er appeared But while still work
ing on the theory that the man was
a homicidal lunatic, the police are
giving attention to the alternative
| theory that both Robert Lomas, the
dead boy, and Arthur Shibley, who
was shot, were the victims of a plot
by enemies of the Shibley family
On this theory young Lomas is sup
posed to have been mistaken for
Nassib Shibley, an adopted son of
Arthur Shibley, Sr
Nassib Shibley's father killed him
self and his wife in 1908 because of
domestic differences. He was an at
torney and had persistently fought
certain Syrian secret societies. His
brother Arthur adopted his son, who
was not in the crowd of boys among
whom the assassin appeared. 1t is
assumed, however, that the stranger,
believing young Lomas to be the son
of the dead attorney, killed the boy
and then shot his intended victims
foster brother.
The condition of the six-year-old
Shibley boy, who is in Washington
Heights Hospital, grew worse in
stead of better, as the physicians had
hoped, and DR.. c. c. Sichel, the head
physician, said that he thought in
order to save the little fellows life
it would be necessary to transfuse
into his veins blood from some
healthy person.
When Mrs. Shibley, the boys
mother, heard what DR.. Sichel
though, she said that she would un-
dergo the operation. She was told
that TRANSMISSION would not be re-
sorted to unless 1t was absolutely
necessary.
Coroner I. l.. Feinberg went to
the hospital to get the ante-mortem
statement of the Shibley boy. The
statement the boy made to the coro-
ner differed somewhat from the one
he made shortly after he was shot.
The little fellow said that the man
who did the shooting had called to
Robbie Lomas and himself and told
them that he had something to show
them. They went to him. Arthur
said, and then the man began to
shoot at them with two pistols.
Another thing, the boy said, was
that the man wore spectacles, and
that he seemed respectable. The
man, he said, followed him short
distance after the shooting, but turn
ed and went in another direction
when he saw Arthur going toward
Avenue over the rocks

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.

All the principal land statutes
were enacted more than a quar-
ter OF century ago.
Problem is how TO save, how
to utilize. how to conserve and
still develop.
The Importance Of the mainte-
nance OF our forests cannot be
exaggerated.
Lands should be classified ac-
cording to their value or use.
Inc power of the Secretary Of
the interior to withdraw from the
operation of existing statutes
tracts of land, the disposition of
which under such statutes would
be detrimental to the public in
terest, is not clear or satisfac-
tory.
Productive powers of the soil
should have the attention of
scientists, that they may be con-
served and enriched.
