FORESTRY MEETING.
Practical Lumbermen Meet the State
Forester Here Today.

gsNCAS<AA AAtAA1OCEAACA IsACCD tAAC 0btNDo
Forester Here Today.
The state forester has arranged
conference to be held here today
of the lumbermen and forest owners
of the northeastern part of the state.
This meeting will be held at the Y.
M. G. A. building, and as it occurs
during the Caledonia county fair,
it is hoped that there will be a good
attendance.
The morning session, to be opened
at 10 o'clock, will be devoted to the
very important subject of forest fires.
Vermont has been one of the favored
regions of the country this year in
having so much rain that there have
been no serious forest fires. Some
attempt should be made to rectify
these by the coming legislature, and
one of the chief purposes of this
first lumbermen's meeting is to dis
cuss just what measures should be
recommended. E. G. Hirst, state
forester of New Hompshire, will
describe the system of fire observa-
tories being established in his state,
and state forester Hawes will review
the fire laws of Vermont and suggest
notifications.
The afternoon session will be de-
voted more particularly to discus
sion of forestry measures. G. FL. Hor-
ton of the Fairbanks Scale company
will present his views as to the for
estry measures practicable for Yer
mont lumbermen, and George Chedel,
district superintendent for the In
ternational Paper company, will tell
of the forestry work his company is
doing in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire.
If possible, Governor Prouty, who
I is one Of the largest lumbermen of
the state, will be present and make
some suggestion. AS this is the first
meeting of the kind held in the state
to bring practical forestry questions
before the lumbermen, it is hoped
that the attendance will warrant sim
liar meetings in other parts of the
state.

.RECALC|TRANT WITNESS IN SHIP SUBSIDY INQUIRY THE MAN WHO MADE CHARGES
 OF CRAFT.
Refuses to Give Source Of Information n
 on Which They Were Based.

Washington. April 1S-Swept along on a flood of sharp questions as to his authority for charging members of congress with being corruptly influ- enced. John NJ. Maxwell, former editor of the American Flag. the organ of the Merchant Marine league, refused point blank to answer questions as to the source of his information The inter rogatories will again be put at spe- cial session of the house committee to- morrow
 Unless he changes his mind and at titude. the witness will be reported t0 the house.
 The November issue of the American Flag. written mostly by him. contained an article headed A Word to Wash ington Correspondents" which he testi fled was a reply to unfair stories and baseless charges by some Washington correspondents. He charged two cores pondents with "faking" because they sent stories stating that il had become clear that the campaign for a ship sub sidy originated in a Standard Oil Beef Trust plan to dominate South America" The article warned all pro-
 
 We propose to get a square deal"
 Who are these professional liars?' he was asked. The witness declined to andswer and explained that his connection with the league having ceased it meant nothing to him to con tinue his attitude of making charges.
 Questioned as to his use of the term "slimy graft" the witness contended that no names were mentioned in that connection. But counsel for Represen- tatiye Steenerson declared that the term scandaliZed congress.
 The article suggested that if the writer of an Iowa papers dispatch did not get his from foreign shipping in terests for sending it to Iowa, then the correspondent is a blankety blank fool" etc
 Do you know any correspondent that got his'?" he was asked;
 No" replied Maxwell. but any correspondent who sent out such an untrue story must have got it."
 When asked what he meant by "a Washington poodle campaign, he re- piled that he did not care to elaborate He said he believed that money was being expended by a foreign shipping bureau.

 x week ago the senator went Ia New
 
 clans. They were insistent that h- rid himself of his more exacting bur dens and devote much of his time to outdoor exercises He could set. no way to lead such a life if he accepted another term of six years in the sen ate and therefore he will retire
 Mir Aldrich has discussed the mat ter with President Taft and closer friends in the senate and he says that he would leare with reluctance were it not for the fact that he can continue with the national monetary cOmuais- sion work he is intensely interested in He feels certain that republican will succeed him.
