"As soon this plan was decided
upon ten subcommittees with four to
eight members each, were appointed.
The subjects covered the more I'M
portant technical problems of forestry
and lumbering and broad national ques-
tions involving legislation and regional
public interests. The chairmen and
subcommittee members were selected
on the basis of their experience and
ability to contribute new knowledge on
the subjects assigned. or to compile the
old in workable form. 1t IS striking
evidence of the Importance and public
interest in forest conservation That
fifty busy men should freely give their
time and thought to work of this kind.

presented to the congress. are not the

but the mature conclusions of a body

MOfLLER SEEKS
A YINDICA1ION
NOT PARTICULARLY ANXIOUS
THAT HE SHOULD BE PARDON
ED, SAYS MINOT DOCTOR.

Minot, N. D., Aug. II. - DR.. Thor
Moeller Of Velva, sent to the state
prison last fall after being convicted
of m~anslaughter as the result of the
death of Gina Lien of Union, N. D.,
following a criminal operation, does
not want a pardon.
He makes this statement in a let
ter to his attorney, L. ]. Palda Of
Minot, who has been circulating a
petition in his behalf.
In his letter to Mr.. Palda the con-
victed doctor protests his innocence
of any crime, n declares hat the
people of North Dakota have nothing
to pardon him for.
The doctor declares hat for six
teen years he worked among the peo-
pie of the Red river valley and other
parts of the state. He says that ne
made little money out of this work,
and most of what he did obtain was
spent in the course Of his long trial.
He Told the Truth.
Taking up the death Of Gina Lien
he declares hat he told the %coroner's
jury the truth about the case, and
says that he did his best to save the
life of the girl but was called in too
late.
He also expressed the opinion that
the evidence in his I'VE trials showed
beyond a reasonable doubt that he
was innocent Of the crime with which
he was charged, and says that the
axiom of the law by which a man is
held to be innocent until he is proven
guilty was ignored in his case by both
the people of the state and the states
attorney who appeared for the prose-
cution. - IT,,
DR.. Moeller points out that he did
much important work for the ad-
vancement Of science, and says that
he was never guilty of fee splitting
in his practice.
For these reasons DR.. Moeller says
that it is a v~indication and not a
pardon that he wants, n that he
doubts If it would be proper for him
to accept one.
