Hyde Calls Graft
Probe All "BOsh"
New York's Missing City Chamberlain
Returns Calm and Smiling
Will Not Resign.

NEW YORK, Jan. l6--Charles Il. Hyde,
New York's city chamberlain, missing for
thirtyAeight days, arrived from Florida
this afternoon and alighted from his train
jaunty, calm and smiling. OF the closing
of two banks containing tsOO,OOO in city
funds, of which he was custodian, he
would say nothing. OF the graft investi-
cation, now adjourned, he talked more
freely.
Briefly, as far as he was concerned. It
was all "bosh" The Merritt committee,
It will be recalled, tried for more than a
month to subpoena Hyde as a witness,
others having testified that he was at an
alleged meeting where an alleged $500 900
corruption fund was raised in an attempt
TO defeat the anti-betting bills at Albany.
All this and more Mr. Hyde denied. The
committee had ample time to get him be-
fore he left New York, he said. and he
remained away solely on account of his
health Passing most OF his time on a
house boat he was out OF touch with the
world, he said, knew nothing OF the furore
caused by his absence and did not learn
until Friday last of the closing of the
banks.
Then, he said, he hurried back to his
duty, prepared to be at his desk tomorrow
morning and to stick to his Job. sug-

Attack on Policies
of Conservation in
Supreme Court Soon
Cattleman Seeks to Have Injunction
Dissolved Forbidding Him to Craze
Cattle on Reserve.

WASHINGTON. Jan. i6--An attack on the
conservation policies insugurated BY the
Roosevelt administration more serious
probably than any heretofore made will be
contained in an appeal next week to the
supreme court OF the United states to de-
clare unconstitutional the creation Of the
big forest reservations Of the west
Failure to win on this proposition Is not
to end the campaign Of the anti-conserva-
tionists. They have prepared TO hght a
step further against the alleged independ-
ence Of the forest reservations from the
state laws on the theory that the federal
government In creating them holds the
land merely as a big land proprietor and
not with any perogatlves OF sovereignty
The fight has arisen out Of the attempt Of
the United States to enjoin Fred Light a
Colorado catteman. from allowing his cat
tie to trespass on the Holy Cross forest
reserve in that state Despite Lights claim
that the formation of the reserve without
consent OF the state is in violation OF the
federal constitution and that action for
trespass could not be maintained under the
Colorado laws unless the land in question
had been fenced, the circuit court OF the
United States for the district of Colorado
issued the injunction.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court of the United States.
II has been advanced for oral argument
for Monday. January %.

the federal government. Attorney General
John T. Barnett heads the corps OF attor-
neys carrying on the fight for Light.
