over the prospects for the passage OF
their measure.
There seems to be a decided hostil-
ity in both houses of the legislature
against the creation OF any new Of
fices or departments OF government at
this session, and thus far every bill in
troduced involving an increase Of pub
lie expenditures has met with an ad.
verse committee report.
The proposed state bureau OF fores-
try, in its present shape, makes posi-
bic the creation Of an unlimited num-
Der Of offices, and the powers confer
red on the board are we'll nigh limit
less. Unless it is radically amended
and modified, a conservative estimate
Of the cost Of enforcing It's provisions
Is placed at not less than half a mil
lion dollars per year.
The authors Of the frankly
admit that the present form Of the
bill is open to criticism. and they have
invited all who are interested in legie-
lation OF this character to file con
structive ideas, 1t has been decided
to defer committee hearings until
after all the Mississippi forestry con-
gress holds its annual session here on
the 14th Of February, at which time
it is expected that those who are most
vitality interested in hte subject OF
conservation will present their sugges-
tons in concrete form.
Thus far the lumber manufacturing
interests have not manifested any In.

they will be extended an invitation to
appear before the legislative commit

they may desire to offer.

Mr., Wilson's remarks came as the

M~ichiGander Face Defeat In
the Next Election.

Washington. - The Ford-Newberry
case will be reopened and another ef-
fort made to declare the seat OF the
Michigan senator vacant. This deter
mination was definitely announced by
some of the prominent democrats. The
demand will be based On the POSSIBLE
lty Of obtaining additional evidence
from witnesses who were not eXamin-
ed heretofore and from Senator New
berry himself.
No conclusion has been reached as
to when the proposal for r%eopening
Of the Michigan electors candidate
will be made. 1t is probable that a
resolution will be offered and permit
ted to lie dormant until after the No
vember elections. Any attempt to OBJ
tain the adoption of such a resolution
In the near future undoubtedly would
Tail by approximately the same vote
rs that given on the question OF per
hitting Newberry to retain his seat.
The positive decision to reopen the
Ford-Newberry case Is primarily based
On the conclusive indication that pop
ular sentiment is overwhelmingly an.
t~agonistic to the verdict rendered by
the senate. This is being demonstrate
ed by a deluge of kilograms and let
ters. These are pouring in on the
friends and enemies of Newberry alike,
The bulk of them come to those who
| opposed seating Newberry and express
confidence in the belief that the sen.
ate will reverse itself, as was done in
the Lorimer case. The communications
being received by those who voted for
Newberry are resentful and filled with
criticism of the attitude assumed by
the senators supporting the Michigan
senator.
Judging from the opinion prevailing
throughout the country as evidenced
by the kilograms and letters the demo-
Gratis figured on gaining sufficient
votes in the November elections to
overcome the slender majority in ia.
vor Of Newberry thus making his ex-
clusion easy of accomplishment. A
change Of but three votes would trans
form the majority OF five for New.
berry to one against him.
High hopes are expressed by promi-
nent democrats that II senators will
be chosen In November to succeed that
mum er who voted for the retention Of
N~eWberry.
