ADMIRAL GOODRICH OPPOSED
TO MEYERS NAVAL PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Rear Ad-
n,iral Caspar Goodrich, retired, was a
witness before the house naval COM
mittee today. While he did not direct
ly attack the Meyer plan, he said he
did not believe SecrstaHy Meyer had
given the Newberry plan sufficient
trial before replacing it with another.
He said the Newberry plan would have
saved the navy department millions
of dollars annually.
A member of the committee COM
mented on the proposed disciplining of
Rear Admirals Rogers and Capps.
"They will not be discharged as long
as congress is in session" he said.
secretary Meyer will find out that he
cannot chop off a subordinate's head
whenever it pleases him. Does he
suppose that the government, which
trains a naval officer from boyhood at
an expense of thousands of dollars,
cannot through one of its legislative
as it wishes? 1t is ridiculous to think
otherwise"

IRELAND DEFENDS
ACTION OF POPE
METHODISTS' WORK IN ROME
CRITICISED
Claim Made That Pontiff Could Not
Receive Vice President After
Attacks Were Coun-
tenanced

CHICAGO, Feb. S--A statement was
given to the Associated Press by Arch
bishop Ireland today in which the arch
bishop says:
people in America may easily mis-
apprehend the conditions in Rome
which led the Vatican to refuse an
audience with the holy father to
Charles w. Fairbanks, after he, a
former vice president of the United
States, would have made a public ad-
dress before the Methodist association
of that city. Most likely Mr. Fair
banks himself did not fully realize the
meaning which Romans would attribute
TO his address.
'It was not a question of Mr. Fair
banks being a Methodist or going to a
Methodist church in Rome for Sunday
devotions. 1t was a question of ap-
pearing to give the fullest approval to
the work of the Methodists in Rome.
1.-THE purpose of the work of the
Methodist association in Rome is con-
fessed openly. The means employed
are by no means honorable. They
take every advantage of the poverty
of the people of Rome. Books circu-
lated and displayed in the windows of
their bookstores are slanders against
the Catholic faith. the holy pontiff at
Rome and a Misrepresentation of the
whole Catholic system.
"Now a public address by a former
vice president Of the United States be-
fore the Methodist association can
have no other meaning in the eyes of
the Roman public than American ap-
proval of the propaganda of the Metho-
dist association
Had the holy father, guardian of
the spiritual interests of the Catholic
church of the world, smilingly well
coined Mr.. Fairbanks to an audience
on the following day, in what other
position would he appear to be than
giving his approval to the propaganda
of the Methodist association before
which the address had been given?
"It is simply impossible for the holy
father, in his official position as SOW
ereign pontiff of the Catholic church, to
do aught else than to say politely to
Mr. Fairbanks: L cannot receive you
and accord you the honor due you in
all other capacities as an American
and as a distinguished representative
of a republic'"

URGE THAT STATE
DIRECT CHARITIES
NEW YORK WOULD SUPERVISE
RELIEF OF POOR
All Institutions to Be Required &c
Submit Annual Statements
Covering Their ActiVi-
ties

ALBANY, N. Y, April S.-State su-
pervision of all private charitable in
stitutions and associations not now
subject TO visitation and inspection by
the state board of charities, even if
not in receipt of public money, is rec
commended by the board in it's report to
the legislature. The board also sug
gests that all such institutions be re-
quired to submit annual reports of
their activities.
Under a decision of the court of ap-
peals, in what was known as the Gerry
case in 1S99 charitable societies and
institutions under private control,
which are not in receipt of state
money, are excluded from the bene-
fits Of state inspection and supervi-
sion. During the ten years since this
decision was rendered the number Of
such societies and institutions has in
creased from about 600 to more than
750. Their annual expenditures are es-
timated at over $10,000 900, and they
have many thousands of beneficiaries
and inmates.
The activities OF these institutions
include the care of aged, inflrm and
sick persons, the protection and educa-
tion of dependent children, the guard
ianship and training of detectives, and
the custody and reformation of delin-
quents. The responsibility of the state
for the supervision of these classes
especially. as well as others in need
of help or maintenance, is generally
recognized Private institutions un-
dertaking any part of this duty as
sumo at once a quasi-public charac-
ter, and, indirectly, are partly sup
ported by the people. They receive
from the public, in many cases, ex-
ceptional privileges, gifts of land, ex-
emption from taxation and free water
Hence. their work is of vital interest
to the public, and the state has the
right to insist that they perform
their duties we'll and faithfully and
to know from frequent examinations
that they administer their affairs hon
estly.
"If evils or abuses are found, the in
terests of innocent persons concerned
and the public welfare demand that
the wrongs be righted without con-
cealment or mitigation of the offense,
and then repetition be made i'm
possible"

er-Eating Worse
Than Starvation
Seven Deaths Arise from This Caus
to Oae of Lack Of FeOd
Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's Sent Free

Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
let's Sent Free
An English medical observer claims
that for one death to starvation there
are seven from overeating.
His investigation is appalling and
leads one to believe that among the
Anglo Saxon race overeating is a ma
tional crime.
This investigation proves overeating
to be the cause in ten cases out of
twelve of dyspepsia, Indigestion and
stomach trouble.
These diseases bring on decay and
decline of the other organs, and death
ensues because of an inability of the
system to furnish proper nourishment
to the dying and afflicted parts.
When one oVereats one eXhausts the
gastric fluids, throws undigested food
into the intestines where it creates
poison and germ life, and is finally alb
sorbed in a putrid state or thrown from
the system in a decaying form.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will over
come the i'll effects of gluttony and
irregular eating. They will digest an
abnormal amount of food and will not
leave the stomach until everything
has been digested.
A single one-grain ingredient of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of food,
and in this proportion is seen how
even gluttony can be overcome, or at
least its most harmful effects removed.
Make up your mind to try Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take
a tablet after each meal and upon re-
tiring at night. Every druggist carries
them in stock; price SOC. II you have
a druggist friend, ask his opinion:

we will send you a trial package free

NATIONS FOREST
PLANS OUTLINED
FEDERAL OFFICERS COMPLETE
DRAFT OF POLICY
Wilson and RaIIinaer Tell President
of Scheme by Which They Hope
to Adjust Administra-
ton Tangles
ASSOCIATED Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-A plan mu-
tually arranged by the interior and
agricultural departments, which has
been submitted to the president for ap-
pOval, outlines the general policy to
be followed by the forest service, and
the general land office, in determining
lands to be classed within the national
forests.
Timbered lands, those valuable as a
forest protective to the irrigation, or
the water supply, of communities, and
small bodies of lands scattered through
the forests, which it is impracticable
to eliminate, are the pricipal areas to
be outlined within the forest reserves.
The policy evolved at the joint con-
ference of officials of the two depart
ments, has been taken under advise
ment by the president.
1t aims to create harmonious action
between the offices concerned in the ad-
ministration of the public domain.
AS outlined in a joint letter to the
president, by Secretaries Wilson and
Ballinger, the plan contemplates the
following lands to be retained within
the national forests:
Those containing brush and under
brush which protects stream flows, or
checks erosion on the watershed of any
stream important to irrigation, or to
the water'supply of any community and
open lands or which trees may be
grown, unless their permanent value
under cultivation is greater than their
value as protective forest.
Lands containing timber of under
growth; cut-oVer lands and areas
densely stocked with young trees which
are more valuable for the production
Of trees than agricultural crops.
Areas containing no timber or under
growth which are located above the
timber line within the forests; small
bodies of lands scattered through the
forests making elimination inpractic-
able, and limited areas which are
necessarily included in the reserves for
proper administrative boundary
