ests Hit in Federal Report,
Named.

Minneapolis, Feb. 16.-Concident
with the last secret meeting of the
members of the Minneapolis Retail
Lumber Dealers association behind
locked doors at the Hotel Radisson
about three weeks ago, three men be-
lieved to represent the commissioner
of corporation at Washington appear
ed at the hotel.
What these men found out, or what
occurred at the meeting Of the lumber
men, who hold meetings in private
about once month, cannot be learned
but the coincidence. with the report
of the commissioner Of corporations
following close after, has given rise to
lively rumors.
Minneapolis retailers deny they are
in any way amenable to prosecution
prices illegally OF are pledged to any
pact in restraint of trade.
Minneapolis lumbermen counted the
stumpage of Minnesota and the noses
of timber barons keenly on receipt of
the report OF Heriert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, and it
is the consensus that the following In
tnrests are referred to in the re-
port where it says that: I'm Mime

the very valuable white and Norwa?

to be c'ose second. The o'he" names

| One lumberman suggested that if
timber land entries made under the
stone or timber act. a timber b..lon' 5
law, were investigated. there would he
some very unpleasant disclosures of
sharp practices. After the passage of

At the reccEt convention of the
Northwestern Retail Lumber Dealers
association the re solutions adopted be.
manded an immediate rerort by the
commissioner OF corporations on his
investigations into the alleged exist
ence OF a lumber trust. They de.
clared dealers generally had opened
their books to the agents Of the gov

had an unsettling effect on business,
as well as keeping them under sus.

MEASURE is PASSED BY SENATE
AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
OF DELAY.
READY FOR TAFT'S SIGNATURE
Sets Aside Land in White Mountains
and Southern AppaIachfans-
Proposition Was Endorsed by
Conservationlsts.

Washington, Feb. 16.-After many
years of delay the bill looking to the
creation Of national forest reserves in
the White mountains and the southern
Appalachians passed the senate, the
vote standing 81 to 2. The negative
votes were cast by Senators Bristow,
Burton, Clark of Wyoming, Cullom,
Gronna and McCumber, Republicans
and Senators Davis, Paynter and
Shiyely, Democrats.
The bin passed the house of repre-
sentatives last session and as it was
accepted by the senate without change
It lacks only the signature of the
president to elevate into statute
The day was given to the subject
Senators Brandagee Of Connecticut and
Gallinger of New Hampshire stood as
the especial sponsors of the measure
Mr.. Brandegee made a brief speech
in support, and Mr.. Gallinger sacri-
feed an intended speech in the inter.
est of an early vote. Senators Sim.
mons of North Carolina and Newlands
CT Nevada spoke in support of the bill
and Burton Of Ohio and Hepburn of
Idaho in opposition. The supporters
of the measure resisted all efforts at
amendment, on the theory that any
change would imperil the bill in the
house. They were successful.
Bill is Denounced.
In a short speech toward the close
of the debate Senator Hepburn de-
nounced the bill as farce, and as
"the most radical piece of fancy legis.
lation ever proposed to congress" He
said that if seriously carried into eff
feet it would cost more than the Pan.
ANA canal. while it is understood
on all sides that the purpose of the
bill is the acquisition of lands in the
White mountains of New England and
of the Appalachian mountains of the
southern states for forest reserves, II
contains no specific mention of such
purpose. The authority for this pro.
ceeding is found In the general powers
conferred by the bill.
The house adopted an amendment
to the Moon bill for the codification of
laws relating to the Judiciary, increas-
ing the salary of the chief justice of
the United States from $4,000 to $15,.
600, and the salaries Of the associate
