supreme CURT RULES UNCLE
SAM HAS FULL Charge Of
NATIONAL FORESTS.
Various States Have Nothing to Say
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Years Standing Now at an End
Two Important Gases Cited.

Washington, May 23.-The decisions
handed down by the supreme court, on
May 1, concerning the right of the gov
eminent to control grazing on the ma
tional forests are of great interest to
western people, and especially to the
western stockmen. The right of the
government to control it's own lands
within the various states and terri
tories is so clearly defined that it is
regarded by Secretary Wilson as estab-
fishing absolutely the position these
lands occupy under the law. 81 am
very sure,' said Secretary Wilson to-
day, "that the stockmen of the west,
as well as the western people gener-
ally, will accept this decision of the
supreme court at its full worth and
that the controversy which has hereto
fore existed regarding the right to use
the grazing lands within the various ma
tional forests without permit from the
of agriculture will be
brought to an end.
HThe two cases decided were the So
called Light case, which originated in
Colorado, and the case of the United
States against Grimaud, Carajous, and
linda, three California stockmen. In
the Light case one of the principal is
sues joined was on the question whether
the fence laws of the state must be
with in order that the United
States might sustain action for trespass
on the national forests. The Cali
fornia case concerned the question
violation of the national for
est regulations is punishable as a
,rime.'

BIBLE HAS 5000 WORDS.
Shakespeare Has Twice That in His
Vocabulary.

In connection with the Bible tercen-
tary which is being celebrated through
out the English-speaking world, Profess
sor Albert T. Cook of the Yale has made
an interesting computation, showing
that in spite of the influence of the
Bible upon literature, the number of
words which appear in it falls far be-
low the number of words used by Milton
or Shakespeare.
In the authorized version, according
to Professor Cook, use is made of only
about 5000 words, whereas Milton
found it necessary to draw upon about
$4,000, and Shakespeare something like
$4,000.

Crowd of 100000 Looks On.
The accident occurred on the avia-

100000 persons had gathered to see the

soldiers, who, however, permitted the
party and about so other
persons of distinction to walk across
the field to where they could get a
better view down the course and see
the airmen as they rose from the start

LIS ALTERNATIVE DEATH.
Chinese General Was Compelled to
Lead Revolt Against Throne.
: (Peking Correspondence New

(Peking Correspondence New
York Herald.)
To Gen. Lii Yung-hung more than to
n other one man Is due credit for
the opportunity out which freedom
from Manchu domination has come.
Fate plays queer tricks with men.
Less than a month g no nan who
knew Ii could have been made to be-
lieve that under any possible contin-
gency would he be found leading arm
ed rebellion against the government
he had sworn to protect. and even less
would Lii nave believed 1t.
AS he himself tells the story, when
the troops under him revolted at W.
chang he attempted to make his es-
cape disguised as a coolie. Being
caught, his men whom he had always
treated we'll, insisted he must assume
the leadership OF their rebellion and,
as h alternative was death, he cast
his lot with theirs. Being a thorough
man. he entered upon the duties of
generalissimo whole heartedly, filling
the role with great credit to himself
and, 1t may be said. to the Chinese
army. Ii has shown himself q real
soldier. BY his masterful handling Of
the situation at Wuchang he has con-
verified an lily organized revolt into q
thoroughly organized rebellion which
has won, LIB 1t has deserved, respect.
Whatever may be the final result. so
far as he and his army are concerned,
Ii ~Yuen-hung Is assured a high place
in the history of new China. For
while he had no immediate hand in
the wonderful political revolution Of
the last week, this could not have been
possible without him.
