Story Of the Final Rupture Be-
tween the Two United States
Senators From New York.

Many have been the anecdotes told
of Senator Thomas C. Plat since his
death, few weeks ago. and many of
them have had some reference to his
intimate relations for nearly 20 years
with Roscoe Conkling, whose name
is still traditional as that of one Of
the great forces in the United States
senate between 1866 and 1881. The
sudden resignation Of Senators Conk-
ling and Plat from the senate In 1881,
as result of their quarrel with Pres
ident Garfield, is historic. But to only
a few of Senator Platt's old friends
has 1t been known all these years
exactly the time and the manner In
which his long friendship with Sena-
tor Conkling was broken.
II was passing down Broadway one
morning. think 1t must have been

who at one time was on intimate
terms with both Senator Conkling and
Senator Plat, when met Mr.. Plat
near the corner of Wall street and
Broadway.
Il noticed that he seemed somewhat
excited. Usually, no matter how much
Senator. Plat was distributed, he was
able to keep his composure, and was.
in fact, the perfect master of himself
in that respect. Therefore. l asked
him If there were anything particular
ly out Of the way. He took my arm
and walked slowly down Wall street,
talking to me all the time until we
reached the Customs house.

What was the natter asked.
In astonjshment.
81 was coming to my office from
the elevated railroad station said the
senator, when l saw a considerable
crowd collected in front Of the main
entrance OF my Office building. A mo
ment later I recognized Roscoe Conk-
ling standing In the center Of 1t. He
was in a violent temper. l saw his
head nodding and his arms swinging
in the air as though he was beating
1t with his fists. l wondered who the
unfortunate victim of his great gift
Of tongue-lashing was.
WHO. do you suppose. 1t was? 1t
was Jay Gould. He stood with his
head cooked little to one side, per-
fectly silent never saw him when
he looked SO inconspicuOus. You
know what little man he is physical
ly, but he looked hitler than ever be-
side Conkling. made my way
through the crowd, which greatly rel
ished the scene, and l could hear
enough that Conkling was tongue
lashing Mr.. Gould on account Of some
article that had appeared In a news
paper of which he though MIR. Gould
was the owner.
~ went up to Conkling and said
to him: Senator, see that you and
Mr.. Gould are in some hot discussion
here. This is no place for 1t. You
are attracting crowd. Come up In
to my ONCE. where you will be undis
turbed and unseen"
".Conkling turned upon me like =

names as Conkling showered upon me.
But stood perfectly quiet and so did
Mr.. Gould. At last when Mr.. Conkling
was out of breath. l turned to Mr..
Gould.
Mr. Could" l said, Il am sorry
to have met you this morning under

Crowd Protests at Interference-New
Dancing Record Established.
San Francisco. March 20.-Police
stopped the worlds championship
Marathon dance here this afternoon,
after six Of the contestants had been
dancing fifteen hours and six min
utes. The old record was fourteen
hours and forty-two minutes. A pro-
test arose from the three thousand
spectators and q riot was prevented
only by the determined manner in
which the officers cleared the plat
form. Doctors. who we're in attend
ance. advised the police that further
physical exertion on the part. of the
dancers might result fatally.
Seven couples entered the contest
and i've couples finished. Probably
the most remarkable feature Of the
performance was the fortitude of J.
A. West. who IL 81 years old. Al
though at times during the night 1t
se"med that his struggle to continue
was torturing him. he waved his SEC

THE NATIONAL FOREST.

Government Timber Cruisers at Work
in Florida.
Florida is about to get its first
practical experience Of the results of
National Forest Administration. A
reconnaissance survey of the Chocta-
whatchee Forest, which was put un-
der control Of the Department of Ag-
riculture in November. 1908. by Pres
idential proclamation, is now being
made by q force Of Forest Service ex-
perts. This survey will furnish infor-
nation in the light OF which use Of
the forests can be promoted through
properly regulated timber cutting.
through turpentining under the cup
and-gutter or the cup-and-apron
method, and through grazing. with
out harm to the permanent value Of
the forests. Florida was the first
State east Of the Missippi to have a
National Forest.
The Choctawhatchee Forest con-
tanning approximately 467. SOC acres,
IL located In the western part Of the
State. along the Gulf, in Walton and
Santa Rosa counties. The Ocala For
eat. embracing some 207.2S5 acres,
lies In the central part. the greatest
portion OF the Forest being in Marion
county, with . small fraction in
Lake. The two forests were placed
under administration November 1st,
1909.
Az long ago as 1925. Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 to buy live oak
land on Santa Rosa sound to make
sure Of q supply o. ship timber for
our war vessels. aneis reservation,
together with other tracts subse-
Quently set aside. made q total of
208.224 acres In Florida timber lands
which the government purposed to
hold - sonrce Of supply for its
ships. Large quantities Of acorns
were planted and many young oaks

q great success. and the main effort
was ultimately restricted to thinning
out, pruning. and other silvicultural
care Of the trees Of the national for
est. To-day the new attempt at for
estry In the Peninsular State prom
ises much more encouraging results.
The party Of eight Forest Service
Cruisers.- headed by A. B. Recknagel
Assistant Chief Of Silviculture at Al
bupuerQue. N. Mex, have already
commenced operations near the head
Of Little Alsqua. The crew viii pro-
ceed westward to me western border
on East Bay river. An accurate sur
vey Of all the government land win
be taken. the stumpage estimated,
and q report made Of the number Of
turpentine cups that. in accordance
with the latest federal regulations,
may properly be placed on the forest.
When the cruisers shall have COM
pleted their work on the Choctawhat-
chez. q similar inspection of the
Ocala Forest will be made. 1t is
thought the surveys will engage the
force till the beginning of summer.
Sites have been selected for the rang.
ers' houses. to be built by contract.
A local estimator figures that the
county-school and road funds will
profit by the turpentining, grazing.

tent Of 500 or $500 this FIRST year,
