FIRST SURVEY OF STATE FORESTS TO
 BE NEAR BEDDING
Woodland Tn and About Town Limits To Be Studied by
 COnSerVatiOniStS.

Bedding, June This town has the State to be chosen for a complete survey of it's woodland territory by the State Forestry department which is a branch of the Experiment. Sta ton under control of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture.
 Such a detailed survey is the lat est phase in the general plan of for est conservation initiated several years ago. The production and sale at a. nominal price of white pine and other timber tree seedlings Iecturen on proper methods of "cutting out, ' and the best precautionary measures against fires together with statistice from boards of assessors regarding the size and character of the wooded. areas in the country towns have been among the subjects so far covered by the Forestry departments activi- ties. It was felt that the time had come for the development of this work from the general to the partic- uIar and this is about to be done with Bedding as the starting point. That selection should have been made of this town is largely due to the efforts of Attorney s. c. Shaw who had a special interest and could exercise i'm f1uence in the matter by reason of his being. asAmember of the committee on State parks and reservations in the last General Assembly. His efforts in behalf of Bedding were seconded by prominent citizens here among them being W. G. Sanford, a member of the State Agricultural board; D. s. Sanford and Charles H. Plump, secretary of the Moribund Protective League. In the early part of last month Director Jenkins of the Ex- pertinent Station, State Forester w. c. Filley and U. w. Tooney, New Ha- ven County member of the State agri- cultural board came here and after an auto trip around the town reached a decision in it's favor.
 Putnam park, a considerable part Of which is wooded. the recreation camp ground of Rogers. Peet & Co.,, on the other side of the highway and large tracts of "sprout' land on the west side of the town which had been cut over to provide fuel for the line burn ing industry and the park-develop- ment work done by Commodore Lutt- gen in the East Wods section were among the circumstances and condi- tions which led to their approval of Mr.. Shaw's recommendation. The program and purposes of the coming survey are set forth in the following letter addressed to MT. Shaw by State Forester Filley:
 My plan is to have MT Moss and two aSs1SlanIS locate a camp near the center of the town from which they can conveniently cover all parts of the area, on foot. They will then make a map of the woodland show ing the forest types and approximate age classes of the present stand, not ing its condition at the same time, and if possible making an approxi- mate estimate of the present mer- chantab1e volume and rate of growth.
 This will give us a basis for a. re- port on the timber resources of Red ding, from which we can make recommendations as to what should be done tosinprove conditions and in crease values in the future. A study of the present market, and it's future

possibilities may also be feasible. In- cidentaIly, we should try to get in touch with woodland owners and give them specific advice regarding the management of their holdings, al- though it might be best to do this af- ter the general report was completed. In any case, we should expect the cooperation of private owners in whatever extra expense might be caused by more detailed examination of specific tracts.
 "The Station will expect to publish the results of the survey in the form of Station bulletin for distribution to all interested in forestry. not only in the town of Bedding but through out the state. This bulletin would probably contain a map showing in a broad way the location and charac- ter of the woodland areas in the town. It would not be possible for ing the woodland areas in complete detail unless residents of Bedding wish to assume the expense of printing such a map.
 .'tI anticipate that we shall be ready to begin the work in Bedding as early as June 21, and before that time MT. Moss and I will plan to spend day at least looking over the town and making final arrangements. We may possibly need your assistance in pick ing out a, camping site, but have an idea that the most desirable point would be on the jSaugatuck River somewhere near MT. Fe1lowes' place. If you have any other suggestions to make on this point I should be glad to have you do so!''

POII'S

Manager Polf pleased thousands yesterday with the excellent holiday program that he presented at Poli's for the first half of the week. There was a wide diversity Of entertainment and every feature won on nerited plaudits.
 Possibly the biggest laughing hit of the bill was a truly remarkable irnper- sonation of Charles Chaplin, the film comedian, by Hal Jones, of Jones & Jones As part of a very happy It. tie variety skit, Jones steps into the 1imeliGht in CharIeyss naake-up-and you'd almost swear it was Charley. He has a1sofs the funny fellows antics down to perfection and it's as good as a two7reeI Chaplin comedy to watch him. There are big things in store for MT Jones.
 Another big feature of the variety bill was fsTne Luck or rotem,' al Song story of the West. presented by Hairy Gerard and a. big company There is introduced in this quaint musical fam tasie a male sextet that can produce harmony The setting is nasterfu1 and the whole piece is one of the most enjoyable musical novelties seen herein months.
 Hon. Francis P. Bent, who was act ing mayor of New York city when the
 
 fEensa war correspondent and lecturer, gave an Interesting trave1ogue on 'tRTexico.'' MT. Bent has a happy way of telling a most interesting story of his travels and the lecture is, beauti- fully illustrated
 The feature @phatoplays is tsAnna Karenina- a fve-part flrnization of Count Tolstoi's masterpiece. It in- troduces Miss Bettey Nansen, the roy al Danish actress, and a large cast of tars, and is most Interesting through out.
 Walter St. lame & CO. in a comedy drama- The Come-On'' had skit that was entertaining and highly : pleasing and the Elsie May Trio three pretty girls won favor with a reper- loire of good song numbers. Newport S- Stirk. in an unique comedy acrobat ic offering, completed the vaudeville program in, happy manner.

PLAZA


 A most delightful bill of vaude- vile and photoplay attractions was enjoyed by the holiday crowds who hlled the Plaza theatre to overf1owing at each pefformance yesterday and every feature of the program was en- Enthusiastically received while the pan tomimic actors on the moving picture screen, including inimitable Charlie Chaplin, who is appearing in one of his original Keystone successes, were as heartily appIauded as were those who had ears to hear.
 The Wharry Lewis Quartette, a group of musicians we'll known to the operatic and concert stage made a most favorable impression Aon music lovers in "A Miniature Concert" a delfghtful offering. Wharrya Lewis, sheer perfection of his. technique, at the same time showing remarkable Rdaptability to the music of the day and was as much at home in the pop ular rags as in the intricate selec- lions of the famous composers. He was conpetently supported by three hardly less gifted young women, one 3 'cellist, another a pianist and the third vocalist and each proved her self a genius in her particular line.
 The remainder of the vaudeville end of the bill was composed of Hogue &
 
 Ekit entitled Just Account" an act that means just one continuous roar of laughter whenever presented; Me Cabe, Levve & Pond, a trio of really clever entertainers who had an ar engagement of songs and chatter that simply couldn't fail to receive an ova- ton for it was altogether original; i; and Miller & Tempest, a, man and woman offering a little pit of every thing in refined vaudeville entertain ment with plenty of good singing and 1a.ughabIe mirth injected AL though there were laughs galore son the vaudeville program it was easy work for Charlie Chaplin to duplicate the stunt common to him by making the audience work up workable gale of laughter that didn't lie down for moment until after the real was taken from the machine.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE
announced purpose of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., and the Penn
sylvania Railroad company TO train
convicts in Sing Sing prison as
telegraphers. has aroused consider
able interest among ofiicials OF the
telegraphers' union. IntimationS that
the Western Union, which is intense
ly hostile to unionism among its
telegraphers. Is training convicts for
strike-breaking purposes, come from
telegraphers' organizations. II Is
pointed out by union oficials that
there are at present time 1900 abb
solutely idle telegraphers out OF U.s.
0eO In the United States. Five hun
dred others, they say, are working
from one-ffth to one-half time. In
view of these conditions. union ON
cials are not inclined to ascribe any
very high motives to the Western
Union and the Pennsylvania rail-
load officials in their effort at up
lift" work among the convicts. A
convict who learns telegraphy and
after his prison term Is employed by
ore OF these corporations. is apt,
they say. to be rather servile en-
ployee, since his employer would
have Il In his power at any time TO
ruin his career by exposing his pris-
on record. Taken in connection with
the admissions before the Industrial
Relations Commission by the Presi-
dent OF the Western Union that his
company opposes unionism among
their employees. the efforts of this
company to utilize prisoners as teleg.
raphers Is considered very signih-
cant.

American Federation of Labor IL in
favor OF adequate national defense.
In answer TO questions propounded
TO him. Mr.. Gompers said: Organ
lied labor has every reason to real
Ire that we have not yet reached
the millennium. Experience in indus
trial affairs has taught workers thar
absence of the means for defense
and self-protection invites attack and
injustice. The power to enforce right
is tremendous element IN estab-
fishing Justice. Under present condi-
tons II would be suicidal for any one
nation to. begin disarmament The
power OF self-defense. even though
rot exercised, is the greatest force
fer the maintenance OF justice and
