TO KEEP PRlMevAL FOREST
Michigan County Has Right dea In tie
Discrimination to Preserve Acres
81 Wildwood.

So rapidly is the earth passing
under the dominion Of human art
and machinery that every wild spot
saved becomes a nature monument
. of great, importance and interest.
Two such spots in Berrien county,
Michigan, set aside under the Ed
ward K. Warren foundation, are a
tract Of 500 acres in Chickaming
township just north of Three Oaks;
and tract of more than $50 acres
on the shore of Lake Michigan, in
Lake township, north of Sawyear.
About half of the larger tract is
primeval forest. It is a remnant of
the original beech-maple growth of
southern Michigan, has never been
cut or burned over and includes
splendid trees rising so to rs feet to
the, first limbs and from two to four
feet in circumference. The smaller
of the two reservations is IN the sand
dune region, with a frontage of g.
900 feet on the lake. 1t embraces
the best developed and least dis
turbed Of Michigan's sand dunes and
some specimens ire from 200 to 400
feet in height. A. G. Ruthyen states
in Science that the field survey of
these preserves is planned by the
museum of zoology Of the Univer-
sity Of Michigan to extend over an
indefinite number of years. 1t will
seek to obtain complete inventory
of the plants and animals and to
learn the causes of the fluctuations
in numbers of individuals, in order
that the native fauna and fora, with
many species being exterminated
elsewhere, may be maintained as
nearly unchanged as possible for fu-
ture generations Of mankind.

Al do.
Odd you Intervene with the cashier
to have that payment made at once7
A--The claimant was brought up to
the cashiers Office by Wayneck and 1
asked Mr.. Pentz to get tho check out for
the claimant at that time.
Odd he demur about doing that7
Ale wanted to know what was the
hurry, and gave him the same excuse
that was given by the claimant himself
at the hearing at which time the amount
was awarded to him. The statement
was either made by the claimant or by a
representative for the employer himself,
] don't remember which. but the statee
ment was to the effect that the claimant
was to be married or had shortly been
married and wanted the money TO 20
housekeeping with.
Odd the cashier pay the check to
Mr.. Murphy?
A.-Yes, sir.
Odd you receive any money from
Mr.. Wayneck In connection with the
Murphy case?
Al did.
Q.-Do you recall the amount7
Alt was either two or three hun
dred dollors.
Q.--Do you know what the arrange
ment was between Mr.. wayneck and Mr..
Murphy
A-Certain percentages of the amount
the claimant received. which I believe
was somewhere between a third and a
half.
Mr.. Herman testified that the same
amount was handed to jacobson by
Wayneck some days later. He said
Jacobson assisted him and took care of
the cases he could not handle.
Wayueck was formerly employed by
the commission as an Interpreter and is

pany, 1t was testified.
How They Operated.
Asked how the system between him
self and Wayneck and jacobson oper-
ated, Mr.. Herman said either he or
Jacobson told Wayneck about claimants.
,Wayneck went to see them and tried to
make some sort OF an arrangement.
And II he got any of their money that
was divided in three waysY' Mr. Daw-
son asked.
Exactly" was the reply.
Weyneck cashed the checks received
for the claims and paid the claimant In
cash. taking out the amount agreed upon
DO you know how Weyneck gets rid
Of these checks after he gets them?" Her
nan was asked.
He cashes them with this man Fertie
or through one Halperin at Far Rocka-
way and through one Hertz. banker
Adam Pentz, cashier Of the commits
sion. testified that Herman brought
Thomas ]. Murphy to him for a claim
check for $1,S43. Awoman was with
them. who was said to be Murphy's wife
and 1t was said they wanted some of the
money for their honeymoon. As 1t was
against the rules to deliver a check to
the claimant when accompanied by any
enc outside the commission he sent a
clerk out to see who else was in the ball.
He found Weyneck there. He held up
the check for, a time, but finally paid 1t.
He said the usual course was to pay
claims by mail.
Mr.. Herman Acknowledged that he had
written a letter to Murphy saying when
teh check would be ready and gave 1t
to Wayneck to mail.
