TELLS OF w. & A. LEASE.
Commissioner Gambler Thinks Month
w Rental VIII Be Increased.

ATLANTA.-C. Murphy Gambler
chairman of the state railroad COM
mission, believes that the next lease
of the Western and Atlantic railway,
the state road, will bring greatly
increased rental to the state. He
showed this in an interview in which
he gave many figures.
81 believe that when the road is
released in 1919 the monthly rental
will increase from $35,001 now re-
ceieved to between $4,000 and $780,
000," said Mr.. Gambler.
Mr.. Gambler is personally Of the
opinion that when the state road
lease expires it should be taken over
by the state, extended to the Atlantic
ocean and operated by the state gov
eminent, but he does not believe this
will be done. He thinks the opera
ton by the state would exert a great
deal of influence toward the mainte-
nance of reasonable freight rates"

miles of trail, 5,065 miles OF tele,

addition 642 miles of road were built
for the public by the use OF ten per

Under another law 20 per cent OF
the national forest receipts for the

which the forests lie for the benent
of county schools and roads.
Since 1909. when systematic CLASH
fication of national forest lands was
begun, more than 100000 acres
have been eliminated. Scattered in
terror tracts which it is not practical
to eliminate are opened to settlement
through listing, which allows them
to be taken up under the forest home
stead law. Any one may apply to
have land within a forest examined to
determine whether it is best suited
for agriculture, and if found so it is
opened to settlement under this law.
During the year $3.50 tracts, total1ng
2S2,4S3 acres, applied for by 1ndl-
viduals were opened for registry. BY
elimination and listing the percent
age of unpatented agricultural land
within the national forests, never
large, has been reduced to a very
small amount.

A LIVELY ROMANCE
IN new THAW CASE
HOW LOVE OF A WOMAN AIDED
SCIENCE TO RECOVER A MAN
FROM THE PITFALLS.
LOUISIANA MILLIONAIRE ACCUSED
Whose Orgies Were Once Notorious
Fell Under the Love Spell of a
Nurse While a Prisoner at an In
Urinary in Tennessee.

NEW ORLEANS, La.-How the
love of a woman aided science to re-
cover man from the deepest pitfalls
is told in the romance of a New Or
leans millionaire whose career in the
Mississippi valley closely TALES with
that of Harry Thaw. But in the new
Thaw case love is the rescuer instead
of the cause Of the downfall.
Reports received here from Mem
phis by friends of Fernand Vaughn
Gasquet indicate that this scion of
wealth, whose orgies were once no
torious, and who shot hi: mothers
coachman, is soon to wed his faithful
nurse, Miss Lydia Neterville. Cas-
quet was at Touro infirmary as a
prisoner when Lydia Neterville be-
came a nurse there. All efforts to
control him had been futile until her
influence came to bea" upon him. She
tanned him, and defended his cause.
GasQuet chung to her like desper-
ate man She won freedom for him.
Six months ago she took him to a
sanitarium in Memphis, cured him
of the drug habit, and established his
sanity, which gives him the right to
wed.
When Gasquet came into his fort
une he hit a fast pace. Liquor and
drugs undermined his reason, and
during a quarrel he shot the coach
man. He alleged self defense, but as
the easiest way of escaping trial and
its possible consequences he took
refuge in an insanity plea. Whether
he was sane or insane he was hard
to handle, and gave the nurses and
doctors and sheriffs an exciting
time. One nurse after another tried
to manage him, only to throw it up in
despair, for he managed to outwit
watchfulness and obtain drugs and
liquor, which were his undoing.
The death of Gasquets mother
left him another $250,000. Miss
Neterville was then in charge of him,
and was his main witness as we'll as
dependence and companion during
the court ordeal in which he was
found to be mentally and physically
unfit to take charge OF his estate. He
triumphed through her efforts in hav-
ing the commitment set aside. and
was a free man, but without
a fortune.
Reports of Gasquet's complete re-
covery at Memphis, under the infu-
ence of his nurse, have led to specula-
ton as to whether he can obtain rec
ognition in this state. 1t is believed
that his Tennessee legal residence
may give him access to the federal
courts, and it is expected that suits
for the Louisiana money will be filed
there. But if the suit is filed here
and if Gasquet comes here to testify
he will have to face the question of
his status as decreed by the Louis
lana courts.
Miss Nterville comes of a well
known Mississippi family. With her
mother and sister she lived in New
Orleans, and she and her sister, Miss
Kate Neterville, determined to adopt
the nursing vocation.

GERATEST COTTON
CROP IN HISTORY
Final Ginning Figures of 1914 Bring

Bales Breaks the Record.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The great
est cotton crop ever produced in the
United States was grown in 1914.
Census bureau statistics issued to-
day giving final ginning figures Off
cially place the 1914 crop as a record
with 16,1O2,143 bales of 500 pounds
each.
That is 4O9.442 equivalent 500
pound bales, or 4,721,000 pounds,
more than produced in the great crop
of 1911.
The 1914 crop of the United States
aggregated 15,878,002 running bales
of lint, or 16 .102,143 equivalent 500
pound bales, the census bureau an
nounced today. The department OF
agriculture Dec 10 estimated TO-
100000 equivalent 500-pound bales.
These figures compare with ID $685.
81 running bales, or 14,156, ass

prior to 1914. Included in the 1914
figures are 121, 451 bales which gin

Old Reliable Fever Cure Is Not Under
the Ban of Uncle Sam.
In a recent issue of The News there
appeared an article dealing with the
restrictions the government has plac-
ed upon the sale of narcotics. In it
the statement was made that quinine
and dover's powders could not be
bought without q prescription. This
has given rise in some quarters to the
belief that the purchase of quinine is
barred. This is not the case. It is
only when it is mixed with dover's
powders that cannot be sold. 1t is
the latter that is the offender because
it contains a certain amount of OPT
ate. One may buy all the quinine
one wishes, but the purchase of the
old-time remedy when called for in
combination with dover's powders is
strictly prohibited.

NATIONAL FORESTS

For the Year 1914 DisclOses Some

Very Interesting and Instructive
Facts. Stock Men Are Now Salts
fed With Restrictions.
Selling some billion and half feel
of board timber and supervising tat
emitting on several thousand different
areas. overseeing the grazing OF more
than 100000 cattle and 7,5OO,O0O
sheep. and building more than GOy
miles of road, 1000 miles OF tran
2 600 miles of telephone line, and
700 miles of fire line are some OF the
things which the government foresl
service did last year, as disclosed III
the report of the chief forester for
1914. These activities were all On
the national forests, which at pres
emit total about 100000 acres.
There is need, says the chief fores-
ter, to increase the cut of timber
from the national forests wherever a
fair price can be obtained for stump
age, because a great deal of it is ma
ture and ought to be taken out to
make room for young growth. Unfa-
vorable conditions in the lumber
trade caused new sales of national
forest timber to fall off somewhat
during the past year, though the OPP
erations ON outstanding sales con-
tracts brought the total cut above
that of the previous year by $780,
600, 900 board feet. There was, how
ever, a big increase in small timber
sales, these numbering 1928 in 1914
against 6,182 the previous year. De-
sirable blocks of national forest tim
Der have been appraised and put on
the market, and it is expected that
these will find purchasers when con-
ditions in the lumber industry i'm
prove. All told, the government re-
ceived 81, 3O4,O53.66 from the sale of
timber on the forests in 1914. The
receipts from all sources totaled ST.
437,710.21.
After eight years of experience
stock men are we'll satisfied, says the
chief forester, with the way of graz
ing live stock on the forests is regu-
lated, and have ventured upon con-
gress the application of the same
method of control to the unreseTved
public range. Almost $4,000 permit
tees Craze stock on the national for
ests, and these paid to the govern
ment in the year 1914 fees amount
ing to over a million dollars. The
present tendency to raise fewer
sheep and goats and more cattle and
horses is shown in the fact that the
number of cattle and horse permit
tees in the Western forests increas-
ed last year by 1,579, while the num-
Der of sheep and goat permittees fell
off by a total Of 286. The Western
stock business, the forester points
out, is becoming attached to the soil,
and itinerant sheep grower and the
speculator in cattle are giving place
to the permanent resident and owner
of improved ranch property. The
latter is always given preference in
the use of national forest ranges.
Some 100000 was spent by the
forest service during the year for
permanent improvements on the ma
tional forests to make them accessi-

APPEAL FOR MORAL LIFE
AMONG EMPLOYEES is MADE
Carnegie Steel Company Starts a
safety First Campaign.


PITTSBURG.-An appeal to it's
thousands of employees to lead a NOR
al life as a means of increasing their
own safety while at work and of i'm
proving their chances for promotion
has been made by the Carnegie Steel
Company as part of safety hrst
campaign. In a series of pamphlets
which have been distributed among
the men for several weeks the COM
pany by means of charts shows how
much longer a man lives who lives
right" than one who dissipates and
tells of the better school work done
by children of the workman who
leads a clean life compared with one
who does not and how much less la
Bile the workman is to accident be-
cause of his being more alert and
careful. The men are appealed to
strictly from a business standpoint.
