school boys, sons of prominent merchants
and banner members of a prize winning
Sunday school class, have confessed to
a series of burglaries which have baf-

ton avenue. A school book bearing the
name of one of the boys was found on the
porch of the house.
The lads worked in broad daylight. To
make sure that no one was in the house
which they selected to rob- they rang the
bell, and II any one responded, said they
were soliciting orders for eggs. as they
had started a small chicken farm. If no
one answered the bell they used skeleton
keys or a Jimmy.
They have given the police a list of
all the houses which they entered. Their
loot, comprising jewelTy. silverware, brio
a-brac and a considerable amount of
cash, they buried under rocks near their
homes. Most of 1t was recovered by the

Ex-F ore ster PinchOt
Breaks Silence to At
tack TaWney.
TAFT's NAME NOT IN
lntimateS Certain Leaders Are
Not on Side of People in
Matter.

Washington, Jan. 14-Gifford Pin
chot's long awaited statement was
made public last night
1t shows no spleen against President
Taft because of his dismissal from
Office of forester of the United States.
1t furnishes no evidence that Mr.. Pin
chot entertains any feeling of bitter
ness or soreness because of the dis
grace placed upon him.
Rather does he pledge himself to
support the administration if it shall
carry on the Roosevelt conservation
policy to which Mr.. Pinchot devoted
himself with such enthusiasm.
Shows Fighting Spirit.
But, on the other hand, the statement
is permeated by the fighting spirit
which has been of such inestimable
value in the development of the con-
servation movement 1t charges that
the amendment to the last sundry civil
law bearing the name of Congressman
Tawney of Minnesota prevented the
movement from taking a long step
forward toward its goal and was "a
deliberate betrayal of the future"
1t proclaims that the principles of
conservation have been fixed. The
words of all those who are responsible
for their enforcement are declared to
be fair. but Mr. Pinchot alleges that
their acts are open to doubt.
Recommendations Ignored.
The statement points out that the
conservation commission destroyed by
the Tawney amendment made impor-
tant recommendations. 1t asserts, with
out specifically naming President Taft.
that no action was taken upon these
and it declares that
mo action will be equivalent 20 bad
action, and will have the same results"
AS the statement is silent in its men
tion of the president, so it is dumb
with reference to Secretary Ballinger.
Neither of these officials is on earth
unless one can read between the lines
of the statement.
of the action of Secretary Ballinger
with respect to the cancellation of
public lands Withdrawals, and his
course in connection with the Cunning
ham claims, which led to the dismissal
of Special Agent L. r. CLAWS. which
gave, Pinchot SO much concern, there
is not word.
Battle Against Interests"
The statement defines the situation
as great issue between the special
interests and the rest of Hs' 1t de-
clares the issue is whether this coun-
try shall be managed by nen for hui
man welfare or by money for profit.
1t says the issue Ties between the

representatives on the other, between

progress and reaction, between special
privilege and a square deal"
Friends of the president and Secre-
tary Ballinger are indignant at the in
ference they feel may be drawn from
the above quotations, asserting they
have been and are actuated by as high
ideals in the matter Of conservation as
is Mr.. Pinchot.
Great Issues at stake.
"The conservation of natural re-
sources and the conservation of popu.
lar government are both at stake, "
says Mr. Pinchot's statement. ''The
one needs conservation no less than
the other.
"At this time have no comment to
make on recent events. Whether in or
out of the government service, l pro-
pose to stay in the fight for conserva-
ton and equal opportunity. Every

source, that tends to advance conser-
