GARFIELD on PINCHOT.
says He was Nearest TO Roosevelt In
Working Out His Policies.

CLEVELAND. Jan. IL James r. Gar
field. writing over his signature for a
local newspaper. to-day regrets the dis
missal OF Clifford Pinchot, but decla res
the dismissal only an incident in a long
battle for the retention Of the Roosevelt
policies. The former Secretary OF the
Interior says in part:
/ cannot forbear a personal expression
regarding the Roosevelt policies. II is be-
cause one Of the men who have stood nearest
Roosevelt in the working out OF those
policies has only recently left public life.
l refer to Clifford Pinchot,
There Is no man in our country to-day
who has done more for equality Of oppor-
tunity. for the rights of the great masses
Of the people of this country for the fight
against special privilege. and his separa-
ton from the public service is one OF the
greatest losses that we have suffered.
But fortunately IL does not mean that
his work for every one of these policies
will cease in Any particular. IL merely
means that IL will be done in another way.
that he and the rest of the people who have
joined in the fight for carrying on the
Roosevelt policies are engaged in a fight
which is not for to-day or one year or two
Tears. but for generations to come.
The policies that we're initiated are the
policies that must control II we are TO be
what this nation ought to be in the future.
IL seems that all right minded men and
women must recognize that the things
that are worth while are the things that
look to the future. that look to the individ-
ual betterment OF the people OF our country
that they cannot be gained in a short time
by a short fight. by weak heartedness
The statement then reviews President
Roosevelt's own declaration that his
Administration had accomplished some
things, failed to accomplish others. but
that the sole aim of the Administration g
battles had been to enlarge and equalize
the rights OF the men and women Of the
United States
The ex-Secretary declares that the
policy of conservation is the most vital
single policy developed under the Roose-
welt Administration-the most vital be-
cause conservation means the efficiency
of the nation and OF each individual in
the nation"

FOREsTRY ssRVIoPs FUTURE.

O1 Bullock FOE Forester.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1l.-One OF the
results OF Forester Clifford Pinchot's re-
moval by the President for insubOrdina-
ton will be- that the forest service will
be brought under closer supervision by
the Department Of Agriculture. Of which
1t is a branch or bureau. 1t was formerly
known as the bureau OF forestry. but at
Mr.. Pinchot's suggestion this was changed
to forest service. The old title may be
restored.
While Secretary Wilson does not pl an
any reorganization. IL is known that in
the future he will supervise its work more
closely. As Mr.. Pinchot was practically
the originator OF the Governments ac-
tivities along the lines OF conservation
OF forests. though not the originator OF
the idea. he had a very free hand. In
President Roosevelt's second admins
tration MIR. Pinohot and his forest service
eclipsed the Department OF Agriculture
and Secretary Wilson until finally the
forest service was to all intents and pur-
poses a separate and independent depart
ment OF the Government All this Is to
be changed.
Secretary Wilson believes as strongly
as Mr.. Pinchot in the conservation OF the
forests and streams OF the country and
will carry on the work OF Mr.. Pinchot
and seek rather to expand than to con-
tract the forest service. But the next
chief OF the forest service will have no
more power or independence than the
chief OF any other bureau in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
The name OF Seth Bullock, United States
Marshal for South Dakota. has been
brought forward as a possible successor
to MIR Pinchot. Secretary Wilson spoke in
complimentary terms OF MIR. Bullock
tonight, but said that he had not been
selected. However he intimated that Mr..
Bullock was a possibility.
Albert +. Potter. associate forester.
who was named as a temporary success
sor TO Mr. Pinchot, is expected to arrive
in Washington in time to report to Secre-
tary Wilson for instructions tomorrow.

NOMINATIONS HELD UP.
CabeIl. Internal Revenue Commissioners
and Curtis. Treasury Department.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Finance
Committee OF the Senate has decided to
hold up indefinitely the nominations OF
Royal Z. Cabell OF Virginia as Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue and James
Freeman Curtis Of Massachusetts,, as
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. in
charge OF customs.
Roth nominations came in just after
Congress met in December and it was
expected they would be reported for
confirmation at the first meeting Of the
Finance Committee after the holidays.
Tuesday is the regular weekly meeting
day of the committee. II was learned
to-day that Senator Aldrich. the chair
man. had gone away from Washington,
that the COMMITTEES had met informally
yesterday and decided to postpone action
on the two nominations indefinaitely.
One OF the Republican members Of the
committee explaining the situation to-
day said that Commissioner Cabell had
voiced a certain degree of independence
Of Republican Senators and Representa-
tivee in the conduct OF his office, and 1t
was believed that he ought to be reminded
that -the advice and consent Of the
Senate are necessary in the exercise OF
the appointing power.
Assistant Secretary Curtis offended
along different lines. He construed a
paragraph OF the new tariff act as inn
posing a lower duty on scrap iron than
Senator Lodge and the other authors OF
the law intended. Robert Boutwell,, a
Boston manufacturer Of iron and dealer
in scrap. came to Washington and with
the aid of Senators Aldrich and Lodge
tried to reason with Mr.. Curtis. but in
vain. He has made other decisions that
are in the direction Of revision down
ward il is said. and the protection Sena-
tors believe he should be kept in sus-
pense until he sees the light.

n Stringent Measure Reported.

debate on the white slave bill reported
by Representative Howell OF New Jersey
from the Committee on immigration
and Naturalization as a substitute for
two measures introduced by Represent

The measure differs from the Mann bill,
reported from the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee several days ago
and which is now on the calendar, in
its inclusion OF immoral men in the strin-
gent prohibitory provisions proposed
and it's strengthening Of the paragraph
with respect to detention and depor-
tations. 1t was opposed be Repre-
sentatives Richardson OF Alabama and
Bartlett OF Georgia, who said that il
interfered with the police powers OF
the States.
The measure will be taken up tomorrow
in all probability and it's passage is as
sured. Later the Mann bill will be con-
sidered. Representatives Bennett and
Mann both say that the two measures,
il both are passed, will not conflict in any
