Supreme Court Upholds
President Taft in Decision
(By Assoc ated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 24.-The
supreme court today upheld the fam
Gus executive order issued by Presi-
dent Taft in 1909, withdrawing from
public entry certain oil lands in Cali
fornia and Wyoming. The executive
order was issued by the president
without the authority of specific legis-
lation empowering such action, and
corporations and individuals, who later
filed entries upon lands worth many
millions, sought to have the order SET
aside by the courts.
Today's decision upholds the action
of President Taft and declares the
chief executive acted wholly within his
authority in Withdrawing the lands
from entry The claims filed against
the lands since the issuance of the
order are automatically set aside by
the decision and litigation covering 4
period of six years is brought to an
end.

GEOkGIA ATTORNEYS
READY FOR TRIAL
Leo FRANK
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 24.-Attorney
General Grice, Solicitor Hugh Dorsey
and the lawyers representing Leo
Frank arrived in Washington last
night to argue the habeas corpus petit
ton before the United States supreme
court today, if the case is reached this
soon.
The states brief in the case has
been completed and printed. IT makes
vigorous defense of the charge that the
jury was influenced by hostile demon
strations saying that the supreme
court of Georgia had passed upon that
point when it refused Frank a new
trial. The state contends, further
more, that every point in the case was
covered by the state supreme court and
these questions cannot be reopened.
Attorneys for Frank now state that
a Federal verdict in his favor would
not necessarily set him free and be-
yond reach of the law, and that an
other state court rial might be pos
sible.

CAMPHoR'S TRAIL or BLOOD.
The Cost IN Human Lives For Gather
ing the Puneent Drug.


ing the Punaent Drug.
Every drop OF camphor you use is
estimated to have cost at least its
weight In human blood There are
few things which demand heavier
toll Of lives than this pungent drug,
which is so widely used for keeping
moths out of our clothes and for max
ing liniments and other remedies.
The reason for this is that the noun
famous parts Of the island Of Formesa,
from which the world gets most of its
canphor, are inhabited by head hunt
ing savages. whom the successive in
vaders Of the island have been unable
to subdue.
These sayages are quite alive to the
value of the camphor trees and fierce
~ oppose all attempts to get possess
sion Of the forests Their hostility
makes the gathering Of camphor a
most hazardous occupation and one in
which loaded rife Is the most indis-
pensable tool.
Since the Japanese took the island
after their successful campaign against
China in the uineties they have been
carrying on carefully conceived plan
of gradual penetration Of the valuable
camphor regions They make paths
six feet in width through the virgin
forests At intervals of every 100
yards stands guardhouse, and every
fourth or fifth guardhouse is small
sort. intrenched and defended by barb.
ed wire entanglements. such as are
being used ON the battle grounds of
Europe. Telephone interc0mmunica-
ton. machine guns and all the re-
sources of western military science
are employed. and the lines are pushed
gradually forward
In spite of these elaborate precau-
lions. the loss among the camphOr
gatherers amounts to hundreds Of
deaths annually
1t is calculated that Formosa con-
tains about million caInphor trees,
some 10000 Of which are cut down
every year. At this rate the supply
will be exhausted in hundred years,
but when the country is thoroughly
pacified there is no doubt that the Jap
anese will see that reafforestation is
properly undertaken and an inexhaust-
ible supply insured.
The savages who are making SO
much trouble are estimated to number
about 10000. and further twelve
years win, it is thought, be required to
subdue them.-New York American.

SPRAYING ESSENTIAL TO sue.

Extension Service.

After the trees have been pruned
and the brush taken away and burned
the orchard is In shape for spraying.
Notwithstanding all that has been
written Of the necessity for spraying
or what has been told of the advantage
resulting from this operation, there
are many who still do not realize the
full Importance of such work. True,
there was time when it was not
necessary to spray for the production
Of profitable crops. but conditions have
changed. The Introduction OF certain
insects and diseases, the necessity for
q wider distribution of crops and the
ever increasing demands of the trade
make it absolutely necessary for the
grower to spray II he expects to realize
anything whatever from his trees.
One Of the most persistent and
devastating troubles the orchardist of
today has to contend with is the San
Jose scale. This insect, protected by
scale-like covering, does its damage
by sucking the vitality and life from
the tree or plant For this reason, the

WHAT IS FEAR7
A Feeling Based on the Instinct Of Self
Preservation.

Preservation.
That well known investigator Of
psychological abstrusities, M. Fernando
Mazade has attracted much attention
by discussion Of the query, what
is fear?" The famous psychological
play wright. Alfred Capus. who has
dealt with the human emotion with
such fidelity in his masterpieces,
writes:
''In general. ! think that when there
is an accident or an illness one has not
a sufficient perception Of the peril to
have the feeling of fear. Fear implies
a consciousness of danger and the re-
fusal or moral impossibility to face 1t.
Fear consists in captivating to the In
stinct of self preservation"
H. Victor Marguerite says: "Fear is
a physical trouble much more than a
feeling and can ultimately be over
come by force of will M. Alfred Me-
zieres of the French academy consid
ers that fear is caused by some unex-
pected danger. Nj. Pouchet of the
Academy of Medicine doubts whether
any man has ever been quite free Of
fear for himself or for others.
NJ Sicard, who is a professor at the
Faculty Of Medicine, considers fear or
courage to be the result of tempera-
ment. training and thought. Fear can
be partially eradicated by reasoning
and education, but it will never be
overcome in lis most acute form
namely, the instinct of self preserva-
ton. The conclusion is that it is far
from being unanimously admitted that
fear is ridiculous malady. Philadel-
