pINCHOT SOUNDS WARNING
Tells Legislators State Forests
Are in Danger.
lBy telegraph to Tho Tribuac. !

Albany Feb. 20.--Gifford PinChot. eX-
,,rited states Forester, appeared before the
e.,atp Committee on Forest, Fish and
Esnh this afternoon in favor of the bill
A,sfsed bv the Conservation Commission
sebifying the forest. fish and game law in
reference 10 lands and forests. The bill
makes important changes in two sections
increasing the size Of timber that may b.
cnt and reducing taxation on land under
,.rprestation. The hearing will be cor
,,nued Tomorrow when Mr. Pinchot will
address the committee more at length than
no did this afternoon
In an address delivered in the Assembly
chamber tonight Mr. Pinchot said;
Forestry in New York is fourishing
everywhere except in the woods. 1t is
time TO make It flourish there" Mr.
Pinchot said that the Adirondack forest re-
serxe, The largest owned by any state, is
in. great peril from fires and crude methods
Of logging.
no other state has done so much for
lie mmbermen as New York he said.
Low taxes, waterways for moving logs
at state expense fire protection and even
the repayment Of money spent by lumber
men in protecting their own lands with
their own men are some of the striking
WAYS in which the people of the state have
shown their good will to the lumber in
te7ests. What have the lumbermen given
IN return? The destructive methods Of log
cing they employ threaten the great North
Woods with annihilation."

BOXING LAW MAY STAND
SAKE Repeal Bill Hearing Ad-
iourned Until March u.
nv Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Albany. Feb. 2O-The bill Of Senator SAKE
repeating the Frawley prizefght law Of
last year, in accordance with the recon-
mendation Of Governor Dix, many believe
received its death blow this afternoon when
hearing on it was postponed until March
j. That date IS likely to be so late in the
session that there will be little time left to
take any decided action on the measure,
and probably It will simply die.
All the boxing clubs which are making
money are against 1t and are using their
political influence against it. Senator Still
well, chairman of the Codes Committee,
which has the bill In charge, set March Y
after reading a letter from p T. Con-
way, representing the Irish American Ath-
lctic Association, of New York City, asking
for an adjournment because the association
is against the SAKE bill and he could not
be IN Albany to-day. The only one appea--
ing in favor Of the bill was c. NJ. Bovee,
representing the West End Association, Of
Manhattan, but when he arrived in the
committee room all was over. Mr.. Bovee
said that he would write a letter to the
committee voicing the objections Of the
West End Association.
Il was with no small degree OF surpcse
that Senator Stilwell read a letter from
{. G. Keutgen. for the Peoples Institute,
Of New York. announcing that the insti-
tute-heartily disapproved of the SAKE bill
and Approved of boxing. Mr.. Bovee seemed
thrTuierstruck when the Senator infoTmv J
him OF this fact. Mr.. Keutgen wrote
We feel that boxing in this state should
bo continued IN and Of itself the spirit
o. boxing is manly and wholesome, and
public displays tend to foster among the
people an appreciation OF hardihood. cour-
age and fair play. We are fully alive q
The argument that certain evils follow pro-
fessiOnal pugilism so closely as TO SeGf1
81 times almost a part of il, yet We think
II has been demonstrated that by regula
ton under an able and energetic athletic
commission, such as we now have these
evils can be reduced 10 very small pro-
portion.
IL seems TO us that tho existing law could
bc-Srengtheucd bv certain minor changes
ana additions and 10 that end we are now
eigacPC I'm drawing up amendments which
We hOpe shortly 10 submit, 1lt the gen
ere3 plan Of the Frawley law Is admlra biy
adapted 10 the purpose for which II was
designed Our opinion Is strongly con
hfmed by diligent inquiry among thos
o'st acquainted with the practical opera
ton of the measure and we therefore urge
tne defeat OF the SAKE repeal Dill.
