Drastic Liquidation of Newer
Industries Furnishes Motive
for Bear Activity.
SOME ISSUES REACH
NEW LOW RECORDS
Speculative Leaders Show Firm Re-
sistance and Average Decline of
Active Group Is Not Large.

NEW YORK. April o5.-Stocks weak
ened again today on a combination Of
adverse circumstances. Drastic liqLida-
ton among the newer industrials and
misgivings as to the maintenance of div
idends of certain railroad stocks fur
nished motive for bear selling. Com
plications threatened by the new phase
of the Balkan situation and the splitting
out of investment stocks at low prices
helped to swing traders to the bear side
of the market.
While number of issues reached new
low figures. however. recognized leaders
displayed unmistakable powers of resist
ance. owing, perhaps, to the fact that
shorts seized the opportunity to cover.
Losses among the bulk of the standard
speculative mediums were not severe.
Bonds were easy.
Rumley stocks were particularly weak,

a new figure by dropping to 1854.
Leaders Fairly Steady.

San Francisco second preferred lost a
point each The leading speculative
stocks were fairly steady, selling at small
fractions above or below yesterdays
close.
Forced liquidation of variety of in
dustrial securities and attempt to bring
about readjustment in values or invest

market

Severe losses in the Met

day caused a resumption of the decline

HITS AT FOREST SERVICE
D.. W. Adams Charges In
competency, WastefuI Meth
DDS and Much Red Tape.

Allegations of incompetency. wasteful
management and methods. ana excessive
red tape in the forest service are con-
tanned in charges which have been filed
with Secretary Houston of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture by Daniel w. Adams
Of North Carolina. Mr.. Adams was con-
nected with the forest service for about
Ave years, acting as expert lumberman.
his resignation having taken effect a
short time ago.
Mr.. Adams. in his statement, says his
criticism of methods of the forest service
Is not to be construed as rejecting on the
character and intelligence of Forester
Graves adding that these circumstances
are undoubtedly due to his (Mr. Graves)
inability to free himself from entangling
alliances with the forest schools of the
country, OF one Of which he was formerly
q professor. The future of this condition
is forecast by the new proposed and APP
proved policy of supplanting all the prac-
teal rangers and what few lumbermen
are left in the forest service by the
theoretical young men,.
Condemns Timber Sales Policy.
Mr.. Adams condemns the timber sales
policy Of the service. He declares that
the cost of simply designating the trees
to be cut and scaling the logs often
amounts to as much as 800 per cent more
than the stumpage price received by the
government
He also charges that the cost to the
government of giving away timber to
settlers under free use permits" Is ex-
cessive, amounting on the Deer Lodge
forest in 1912 to as much as 50 per 1000
feet, board measure. because of red tape
regulations regarding measuring and
scaling.
Mr.. Adams advocates the creation of
an advisory board to divide with the chief
forester the responsibility for operating
the forests. He would have on this board
one practical lumber manufacturer, one
civil engineer Of national reputation.
