DEPARTM MENTP PROBES
LUMBER INTERESTS
Commissioner to Make Three
More Reports to
President.

The recent report upon the standing
timber ownership in the United States,
made by Herbert Knox Smith, Commis-
sioner of Corporations, Is just a prelimi-
nary statement. 1t became known today
that further reports would shortly be
prepared, and that these will furnish
the basis for prosecution by the Depart
ment Of Justice. should any prosecu-
ton be found advisable.
In speaking of the matter the Com
missioner said today that at least three
more reports on the lumber trade would
be forthcoming. One of these will deal
with the manufacture of lumber, an
other with its cost of production, and
still another with the competitive meth
DDS of the lumber industry.
Mr.. Smith did not know whether or
not these later reports would be issued
to the public. He said that was a mat
ter for the President to decide. The
statements will be rendered to the
White House, and If their publication
would not interfere with the Depart
ment Of Justice proposed prosecution.
they will be made public.
1t is understood that the original idea
of the Bureau of Corporations was to
make one report upon the lumber in
dustry and embrace in it all the results
Of the prolonged investigation which
Mr.. Smith and his associates have
made.
This plan, however, had to be aban-
doned when the President sent in his
hurry call few days ago for enough
of these results to use in his reciprocity
campaign. 1t now comes to pass that
the other phases of the lumber industry
in this country will have TO be treated
later.
The report of Commissioner Smith in
dicates that very large area Of the
standing timber in the United States
was under control of a few interests
1t did not. however, show that enough
was so controlled as to give these in
terests a virtual monopoly.
Should the later reports Indicate
however, that there is monopoly in the
manufacture of lumber and In It's mar
keting, the matter will become one for
the Department of Justice to pursue
further.
No intimatiOn to this effect was gwen
out at the bureau today. 1t was Only
stated that the President would have
the say whether or not the results of
the whole investigation would be made
public.

returned soon after with pair of black
