1t may be cheering TO learn from

covered 10y virgin forest. as fear had
been expressed that the United States
was fast approaching a woodIess era.
In a general way. Mr.. Lindsay says.
ii may be said that the strip of terri
tory lying 10 the north of the divide
and extending from the Costa Rican
border to the canal zone. as well rs the
entire area 10 the east of fl. is one vast
forest. Some portions Of this territory
are not adapted to profitable develop
ment owing to.the heavy rainfall upon
the Atlantic seaboaTd and the sparsely
inhabited condition Of the region.
Without doubt this store of latent
wealth will some day be made to yield
enormously. At present. however. the
investment Of capital is confined TO
the sections i'm which timber is easily
accessible. labor fairly plentiful. and
transportation economically feasible.

Panic RACES When Institu-

Two of Whom Are in Serious

men Are Injured.
National News Association


NEW LONDON, Conn, Jan. q
Fire which broke out shortly after
midnight in the local almshouse, a =
story brick structure with a basement
on Garfield avenue, caused a panic
among the so inmates, one of whom
was burned to death, two overcome
from smoke and shock and in seri-
Gus condition and a third overcome
but not seriously. Two firemen were
injured in fighting the blaze and res
cuing the inmates and were under
treatmen at the hospital today.
John Schronberry, an eccentric
clock repairer, the only one of the in
mates to lose his life, was burned to
death. He was confined in a padded
cell in the basement of the building
near the heating apparatus where the
fire started. Efforts to reach him were
unavailing and though at first it was
possible for those in the hospital to
converse with him and later his agon-
izing cries were heard, it was impos-
sible to get him out and his body was
later found burned to a crisp.
The fire was confined to the cen
ter of the building which is long
structure and the loss will not be over
$4,000.
