terror Department, the House COMMITTEES
investigating the Interior Department re-
eumed it's hearings to-day on the Controi-

again The committee took cursory cog
nizance this afternoon of story that
map of the proposed routes from Controller
Bay to the Alaska coal fields had "disap-
peared" from the War Department. The
map. Il was said, had been seen by MISS
Abbott and clifford Pnchot At the close
OF the hearing, however, even Chairman
Graham admitted that the map scandal had
failed to materlalize.
Major J. e. Cavanauel, assistant to the
army chief engineer. told the committee
that such map might have been tempo

Interested in Alaskan claims, but 1t might

OPPORTUNITY AT DOOROF TIE SOUTH Millions Wasted in Lumber
 Manufacture TO GET NAVAL STORES Waste Wood of South .and Northwest Such as Tops, Stumps, Slabs
 and Sawdust Means About
 $3O,OOO,O ,OOO Annually
TO GET NAVAL STORES

Washington, December H.-A great un- lars annually, lies at the doors of the people of the south and the far north west in the immense wastes of wood in- cident to the manufacture of lumber.
 An amazing statement of these wastes and the consequent loss in wealth and conservation of timber resources, is made as result of a two years government investigation, not yet concluded by F. F. Vetch, chief of the leather and paper division of the bureau of chemistry, and M G. Donk, assistant chemist whose preliminary conclusions have just been made public.
 "The waste wood of the south and northwest from the lumber industry-tops stumps, slabs, and sawdust, and the dead and down timber from fires and storms furnishes one of the great undeveloped resources of this country" says the in vestigators. Prom this wood, by in dustrialIy developed chemical methods, the entire output of naval stores, em- bracing turpentine, rosin, tars, pitch, rosin spirits and rosin oils. having an annual value of at least $3o.oo0oOO, may be obtained without boxing or turpentin- ing a single tree.
 'It is possible to recover from the waste of the yellow pine lumber ln- dusty Gncluding dead and down tlm- ber) as much or more turpentine, ros1n and rosin oils as are now produced by the ordinary methods of turpentlnlng from the living tree. The profitable utll- ization of mill wastes in this way would add materially to the wealth of the south and help to conserve It's timber resources.
 There Is more than sufficient waste material to yield annually all the pa pers (except news), paper and box board and building board required, for which wood is suitable.
 More methyl alcohol, acetate of lime and acetone can be produced from this wood than is nov made in the country, and large quantities of ethyl alcohol may also be recovered
 "There are millions of acres of cut over land covered with stumps and dead and down timber, all of which, be- cause of its resinous nature, decays very slowly, enduring for years. There is enough of such material to supply all demands for the above mentioned products for a very long period. The processes, equipment and technique for the utilization of this material are either in operation or may be readily devised "

MABRAY TEST|F|ES
 IN MARKS TRIAL

Council Bluffs, Ia., December 21- After giving details of the handling of large sums of money and telling of the alleged connection with the Mabray swindle of the county and city officials, John c. Mabray left the witness stand in the trial of Benjamin Marks tonight to resume the stand again tomorrow.
 As climax to series of pointed questions, Mabray was asked why he had not told on direct examination all the facts with reference to the extra per cent which he said he had paid to Marks. The witness testified that Marks had told him 1 per cent of this extra amount demanded for the then county attorney, J. J. Hess, was to be paid by Marks, and for that no notice was to be given of complaints that might be made at his office" The other 1 per cent the witness testified, was for the officers of the First Ma tional bank.
 The witness said that at different times MT. Marks turned over to him letters and telegrams addressed to the county attorney and George H. Rich mond the then chief of police, com blaming of the operations of the syndi- cate.
 The defense introduced supposed perfect list of the swindles perpetrated by the Mabray syndicate here. at New Orleans and Seattle aggregating $450,- 295. The list bore the names of every victim, the date of the sNindle and the sum taken from them. It was also shown that swindles were perpetrated in Davenport, la, San Francisco, Den yer and South Bend, Ind.
 Concerning the statements of the wit ness with reference to the collection of a percentage of the plunder for pay ment to J. J. Hess, George H. Rich mond and the First National bank, ve- hement denials are made by Cashier J. J. Spinal and by Hess and Richmond. Hess said he never had heard of the man whose name is mentioned as hav- ing telegraphed complaining of having been swindled here.
