Magazine, and of three others accused
with him of having disclosed military
secrets of the United States by the

veaiing Panama canal Qualifications,

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT
STIRS Obstetrics

Belfast, July 1.-THE insistent do
rnand Of the Protestant portion of the
province of Ulster for exclusion from
the operations of the Irish home rule
bill lent added interest to today's cele-
bration of the anniversary OF the bat
tie of The Boyne. The celebration was
carried out here with great enthusiasm.
Sir Eward Carson, the Ulster union
list leader. rode at the head of 5000
Orangemen. accompanied by the usual
fife and drum bands and including a
sprinkling of brethren from the United
States and British colonies. They
marched through the city of Belfast
to Drumbegs, where a great open air
meeting was addressed by Sir Edward
and other leaders.
The nationalist quarter OF Belfast
was carefully avoided by the demon
strants, n on nc occasion during the
procession did the rival factions come
into contract. SO little did the au-
thorities expect trouble that they de-
pended entirely on the local police force
to keep order. All the military were
confined to barracks as is usual during
the demonstrations. A great crow of
tourists including many Americans
came to see the procession and to hear
resolutions calling on the Ulster lead
ers to take hat steps they considered
necessary to prevent Ulster coming un-
der the authority of Dublin parlia-
ment.
Sir Edward Carson was the hero of
the day. Buttons bearing his portrait
We're worn by nearly every man in the
procession, while great canvases spread
across the streets in the unionist sec
ton of the city bore his likeness.
1t is regarded as significant tina in
recent interviews he was given Sir Ed
ward Carson is quoted as saying that
the only condition of peace is the ex-
clusion of Ulster for the present.
while the more remote action of the
unionist must, in his opinion, depend
on the way the Dublin parliament
treats Protestants in the other provin-
ces of Ireland.
Throughout the province of Ulster
and notably in Londonderry, extensive
precautions We're taken by the author
tiles against possible clashes between
the organized forces Of the Protestants
and Catholics.

JUICY MONOPOLY IN
RICH TIMBER LANDS
Spectators Control 105, 6O0,,
600 Acres-High Prices
Sure to Result.

Washington. July Instrumentation
OF timber lands In the United States
In the hands of a few owners is dis
cussed at length in the second and
or corporations on the lumber industry,
submitted to President Wilson by
Commissioner Davies.
Two men hold 40 per cent of the tim
Der in southwestern Washington, The
report says; five men hold So per cent
cent In northeastern California; 10
nave more han half in the redwood
area, and in north central Idaho four
holders have so per cent.
The control of our standing timber
IN a comparatively few enormous hold
lngs, speculatively held far in advance
or any use thereof, and the great in
crease In the value of timber, resulting
In part from such speculative holding,
are underlying facts that will become
more and more important elements in
determining the price of lumber as the
supply of timber diminishes,' says the
report
The main fact shown is that 1854
timber owners hold in fee over one-
twentieth of the and area of the entire
United States from the Canadian to
the Mexican border. In many states
these 1854 own no lands at all. In the
500 timbered counties investigated they
own o~ne-seventh Of the area.
These 1864 holders own los, 600, 900
acres. This is an area four-fifths the
size of France, or greater than the en-
tire state of California, or more than
two and one-half times the land area of
the six New England states. Sixteen
holders own 1880, 900 acres. or nearly
10 times the land area of New Jersey.
Three land grant railroads own enough
to give 15 acres to every male of voting
age in the nine western states, where
almost all their holdings lie.

Newport. r. l.. July 14.-How the

here today at the opening Of
the naval war college. He pictured
the duties of the naval officer in the

IN Wnlch commanders OF American

Perry's achievement in the opening
Of Japan to commerce, Dewey's bril-
liant victory and his administration in
the Philippine waters and finally Rear
Admiral Fletcher's occupation Of Vera
Cruz We're pointed to by the secretary
as conspicuous instances of the double
service required of the American naval
officer abroad.
There is very recent proof that
Perry was a true prophet when he
foresaw friendship between the United
States and Japan. In the present Mex
lean trouble the Japanese have been
s~crupulous to prevent the shipment of
arms by Japanese manufacturers. If
all American diplomacy in the Spanish
American war had been modelled after
that Of Perry, the United States might
not a yielded to the temptation Of
Imperialism. If our government had
followed closely the diplomatic pact set
by the great commodore of the United
States navy, who himself followed the
diplomacy of Perry and squared his
every action with the basic doctrines of
our republic we would not have
strayed so far afield. We would at least
have been consistent in our diplomacy.
We would not have laid down one rule
for Cuba n another for the Philip
pines"

him, pretending to be a beggar. After
accosting hin, she stabbed him in the
abdomen with a long military dirk.
The assailant was arrested and con-
fessed she had waited two weeks for
the opportunity. She said she had de-
cided to kill the monk because he was
a false prophet and was leading every
body in Russia astray.
Doctors who examined the monks
