CUTTING
GOV. TIMBER
ARKANSAS CONGRESSMAN SHOWS
HOW LAW NOW DlscRIMlNATEs
AND WANTS 1T CHANGED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. asking
Congress to take away from the rail-
roads the free use of Government tim
Der lands adjacent to their rights of
way by repeating a law enacted in
1875, Representative OIdfieId, of Ar
kansas, made his maiden speech in
the House today in explanation Of a
bill he had just introduced.
While the courts have held that
railroads under this statute may go
from two to twenty-five miles on eth
err side of their rights of way and cut
down the timber on Government lands
for the purpose of constructing their
roadbeds," said Mr. Oldfeld, yet l
am convinced they frequently go fur
Their than twenty-five miles" He ad-
ded that this timber was often carried
as far as q 1000 miles from the place
it was cut to be used
Mr. OIdfeld said that about two
years ago two citizens of his State
wrote him that storm had blow down
some timber on Government land in
their nefghborhood and that although
hey desired to use this timber to build
a schooI-house and a church the Gov
timber man in that terri |
,ory had informed them that under the
aw they would be liable to criminal
prosecution II they used It.
Hence that timber is lying there on
ne ground today, rotting, unless the
abroad company has decided to use
t." added Mr.. Oldffeld He argued
hat the law ought either to be re-
,ealed or amended so as to make the
ailroads pay for the timber they used,
n which event, he said, they would be
more economical in cutting it,

Earl Thompson, a negro, was hanged
here this morning in fulfillment of

was hanged this morning was a Grim
inal assault upon Mrs. Ransom Rob-
erts near this place last November
Three attempts have been made to
lynch Thompson. and on the last oc-
casion the negro was only saved from
the mob when it's members were dis
suaded from their purpose by Circuit
Judge Carmack, who promised that
the death sentence upon Thompson
would be executed within sixty days
or less if the law was allowed to take
its course.
The negro, who is only IS years old,
recently confessed to his crime.
The hanging of Thompson is the
first legal execution in this county In
fifty years. Thompson's indictment,
trial and sence, all took place within
a space ia few hours on December
Z. His attorneys did not take an ap-
peal

CHIEF FORESTER
DISMISSED FROM
OFFICE BY TAFT
PINcHoT'S HEAD ROLLS INTO
THE BASKET BY PRESI-
DENTS ORDER.
CAUSTIC LETTER OF EXECUTIVE
Declares That Action of Head of For
est Service in Sending Letter TO
Senate Was a Reflection on Him.
Washington in a Ferment.

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. Clifford
Pinchot, Chief Forester and intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, tonight
was dismissed from the service of the
United States by President Taft for
characterization. Associate Forester
Overton W. Price and Assistant Law
Officer Alexander C. Shaw, Pinchot's
immediate assistants in the Forestry
Bureau, followed their chief out of the
Government employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac-
tion of Mr.. Pinchot in inducing Sena.
for Dolliyer to read a letter from hiIn
in the Senate yesterday, President
Taft would listen to no advise that
the Forester's violation of executive
orders be overlooked pending the in
quiry soon to be undertaken by Con-
gress. He declared the dignity of the
office he had been chosen by the peo-
pie to fill was being attacked and he
would be unfaithful to his trust if he
submitted longer.
Mr. Taft undoubtedly realizes fully
what the dismissal of Forester Pin
chot means in a political way. He
has been convinced for some time that
the so-called insurgents" and other
critics of his administration had en-
listed the services of Mr.. Pinchot and
practically were defying him to sep
arate Mr.. Pinchot from his Office The
latter's letter of yesterday, without
doubt, was written with the direct
purpose of putting it squarely up to
the President"
The President sought to avoid the !
war as long as he could, I
but declared today that patience had |
ceased to be virtue. He picked up !
the gage of battle thrown down by Mr..
Pinchot in the letter, read by Senator !,
Dolliver in the Senate and with the
supporters is ready for
he fray, which is certain to ensue.
Political observers in Washington
leclare that the situation created by
odays developments is the most
ense of many years. What the out
,ome will be, no one is willing to
,rophesy.
In the House of Representatives to-
lay Speaker Cannon lost his first fight
o the insurgents" who, combining
With the Democrats caused to be
.dopted an amendment to the Balm
inquiry resolution, so as
o take from the Speaker the power to
ppoint the House members of the
pint special committee of investiga- :.
ion. The margin of victory was a
arrow one Of three votes, but the in
urgents and Democrats alike are iub-
ant tonight.
The dismissal of Pinchot lent fuel
} the fame of their celebration and
ley are venturing all manner Of pre-
lotions as to what is to happen in the
Iture.
Three Republicans, not cIassed as
but who profess their
'iendship for Pinchot, voted with the
lsurgents ard Democrats for the
mendment which calls for the selec-
on of the House Investigators by
lection tomorrow :

FALLS I64O FEET
TO SUDDEN DEATH
Associated PressJ

lAbSOClhtou EE0SsJ
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 7.-Captain
Macievich, the Russian military avi-
ator, was killed in fall today from
Voison biplane. The accident occurred
during an altitude competition, which
was won by Captain Macievich, who
reached a height of 1888 feet.
MacieVich had risen 1866 feet, but de-
cided to descend. When at a height
of 1910 feet his machine upset and
the aviator was thrown out. He came
hurting down like a plummet, reach
ing the ground before the biplane. Ev-
cry bone in his body was broken, but
it is the opinion of physicians that he
died of heart failure before reaching
the ground.
The loss of control of lever is sup
posed to have caused the accident. The
death of the captain caused a panic
among the spectators. The wife of
Macievich became delirious and it is
feared she will become permanently
insane.
Macievich was considered the most
skillful and careful of Russian mill
tary aviators, and only last week took
Premier Stolypin for a ten-minute
flight.

People of Lisbon Raise Stand

Resumed

LISBON, Oct. 1.-THE establishment
of republic in Portugal is an accom-
plished fact. For city that has just
passed through the throes of bloody
revolution and sustained q lombard
ment, Lisbon today is in cloudless sun
shine and wears a smiling aspect.
The republican flag f1utters on nearly
every building and from every vehicle;
the streets are thronged with prone
naders, including good sprinkling of
tourists with guide books in hand; the
shops and offices have been reopened
and business generally has been re-
Sumed.
The only evidences of the recent per-
turbation are small bodies of troops
stationed in the principal open places
of the city and In the passage now and
then of a Red Cross ambulance.

The damage done to the city Ly
the bombardment was surprisingly
slight, and while the total number of
killed has not been ascertained it prob
ably does not exceed 300.
A couple of hotels near the station
bear traces of having been struck by
shells and bullets.

are discussed with calm by all classes.
The general feeling evidently is one Of
