CUTOVER LANDS
Congress Will Be Asked To Pass
Laws To Have Large Areas
Surveyed.

Washington. - Efforts are to be
made by the government for the utili.
zation of the millions OF acres of cut
over lands throughout the country. A
recommendation is now before the
secretary of agriculture and, if he ap,
proves it, legislation will be intro.
duced in congress calling for a survey
OF these lands with view of deter.
mining that for which they are best
adapted.
1t is urged that while some Of these
lands will be suitable only for refor.
esting, others, depending upon the
character of the soil, may be convert
ed into pasturage by the planting of
grasses especially adapted to the soil
and climate. This survey doubtless
would be undertaken by the depart.
ment of agriculture and DR.. C. V. Fl
per, Of the bureau OF plant industry
and a leading authority on grasses,
already has given this matter some
consideration.
While most OF these lands are in
the south, there are also enormous
acreages in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan, and these, too, would be in
cluded in the proposed survey.

ARRESTP PRESIDENT OFI.W.W.
Anarchists Make Futile Attempt To
Blow Up Several PromL-

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Robert Johnson, S5
president Of the /. w. w. organization
and internationally known as a radical
lgitator, is under arrest after a fight
with detectives and agents of the de-
partment of justice in 4 downtown Of
flee building. Johnson opened fire on
The detectives with a revolver when
they opened the door Of l. w. W. head
quarters on the third floor Of the build
ing with key taken from a suspect
arrested in connection with the bomb
explosions here.
Several bullets passed through the
clothes of detectives, but no one was
Injured. Johnson was overpowered
and taken to police headquarters with
q quantity of anarchistic literature
found in the office.
Explosions took place in Washing
ton, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Newton
vile, Mass; Boston, Philadelphia, Pa
terson, N. j., and New York. None Of
the men for whom the mombs were in.
tended was hurt, but one man, a watch
man in New York, was killed; one Of
the plotters himself was blown to
pieces when an Internal machine In
tended for Attorney General A. Mitch
ell Palmer exploded prematurely.
Hope Is held out by federal agents
that the perpetrators of the crimes will
be apprehended. The identity Of the
anarchist apparently has been estab-
lished.
The outrages are believed to be a Sc.
quel to the May day bomb plot, when
internal machines were mailed to a
score of prominent men over the coun-
Try.
The explosions we're accompanied by |
he scattering of anarchistic literature
written by persons who were not illit-

stock doctrines Of radicals who have |
