PINCHOT REPLIES TO
 HUMPHREY CHARGE

Washington March 14.-Gifford Pin chot today gave out a statement reply ing to recent accusations by Repre- sentative Humphrey of Washington as to the former chief forester's attitude toward the acquisition of certain lands by tho Santa Fe and Northern Pacific railroads.
 Mir. Humphrey challenges me to say I ever protested against the Santa Fc railroad exchange. He might almost equally well challenge me to say that protested against Eve taking the ap pie in the Garden of Eden," the state ment says.
 This exchange was managed entire ly by the department of the interior I was in the department of agricul. ture. l had no responsibility of any sort, shape or kind in connection with 1t. The government had got into q difficult position and was obliged to take the least of two evils.
 "I was given charge of the nationai forests in 1905. The Santa F'e ex- change was made several years before that time."

In Memoriam

On March ,, of this year, in the city of Birmip sham, there passed from mor tai sight one of the rarest young men this city has ever known.
 Crawford Douglass was in his sev enteenth year but his mentality was years beyond, and his broadness of vision few men attain.
 This young lad, with an individual who ever touched his life ever forgot him.
 The four last months of his life he was confined to his room and bed. Vet all of the many who visited that room had his individual attention, cheerful welcome and gracious farewell
 His mind remained alert, alive, hope full and spontaneous up to the last hours.
 In November of last year he went to bed with rheumatism which soon af fected a weak heart.
 He rallied through several severe pe- riods, confidently fighting back the enemy; h,s resisting powers were the wonder of his physicians and he be came stronger and even gained in weight.
 In his returning energy he wished to do something and was engaged in malx- ing a scrapbook for the children of the Mercy Home in his last weeks.
 The influence of his life and the pur- ity of his thought was and is far reach ing.
 His companions were usually mature minds who understood and appreciated the ideals and worth of such youth.
 Throughout the entire illness he was faithfully and most tenderly nursed by hi ia nf hnr rh<. -nxtIxJ T hands to minister to him.
 Crawford Douglass was born in Bridgeport. Ala, and reared and ed,l cated ip Birmingham. He attended the public schools and later the University High school
 He was the son of the late Craw- ford Douglass, who died four years ago, the 22d of this month He was an Englishman of rare education and cul- ture who came to New York when a boy and gave over 30 years of his life on Wall street. In the nineties he mar ried Alice Mabee of Tennessee. an old and established family. Of late the fam fly has lead quiet and retired life. the boy Icing quietly educated at home. while h's sister Mary Douglass. studied abroad.
 Funeral services were held at the home on Sunday, March s. On the Friday following the funeral his sister arrived from France and on the fol- lowing day Crawford Douglass was laid to rest at Elmwood cemetery be- side his father.
