PORTION OF VOLSTEAD
ACT DECLARED VOID

NEW YORK. May 9.-Federal
Judge Knox today declared void that
portion of the Volstead act which
limits the amount of liquor which
physician may prescribe, and grant
ed an injunction restraining prohibit
tion enforcement authorities from
interfering with the practice of Dr..
Samuel w. Lambert.
Attaches of the court raised the
question whether Judge Knox's de-
cision if sustained in the higher
courts, would not also deal blow at
the Harrison anti-narcotic act. This
act, it was said, prohibits physicians
from prescribing increased doses of
narcotics to drug patients, thus, IN
effect, limiting the physicians judg-
ment as to what treatment shall be
used.
1t was indicated that II the de-
cision is upheld, United States At
torney Hayward might find himself
compelled to drop proceedings
against DIR. Ernest s. Bishop, re-
Gently indicted under the Harrison
act for prescribing increased doses
of a narcotic to a patient.

HOPE IS HELD
FOR CAPTIVES
Anxiety of Officials at Wash.
ington Somewhat Allayed
by Reports Received from
Peking

WASHINGTON. May s.-The
anxiety of officials here for the fate
Of the Americans and other foreign
nationals held captives by the
Chinese bandits in Shantung prov
ince appeared to have been some
what allayed today by the reports
received at the State Department
from Minister Sehurman at Peking.
The department announced late
yesterday that it had been advised
by the American minister that the
Picking government had agreed to
pay the ransoms demanded by the
bandits on representa- tious made to
the prime minister by the Portuguese
minister at Peking, dean Of the dip
lomatic corps there. The govern
ment also. the department was in
formed, agreed to act as rapidly as
possible in meeting the other de-
mands made by the Portuguese min
inster in behalf Of the diplomatic
corps at Peking.
These demands were that in addi-
ton to immediate steps TO secure the
release of the captives, the govern
ment should conduct an inquiry into
the whole affair and take strong mil
itary action TO put down brigandage
in Shantmg The prime minister
was said te have stated that the gov
ernm' uded 10 dismiss the civil
and soveruors Of the prov
inCe.
In OF its demands the
diploa was said to have in
formed l- .inese foreign office
that it reserved the right over and
above any moral and material dam
ages claimed to demand progress
sive indemnity for every day after
the twelfth of May that the foreign
ers remain captive
Developments in the situation, in
Guiding the reported close pursuit Of
the bandits by Chinese troops, ap-
peared to have made more remote
the possibility of using American
troops in China in conjunction with
those of other powers. In any event,
it was said, such a course would be
proposed by this country only as a
last resort.

MAKE FORESTS
AN INVESTMENT
Rotarians Hear State Forester
Tell of the Development
in New Jersey

Rotarians heard an interesting and
instructive talk on the forestry of
New Jersey at their weekly luncheon
at the New Packer House today.
State Forester C. p. Wilber was the
speaker. Mr.. WILDER had some in
teresting specimen of cross sections
of trees cut in different parts of
New Jersey showing the difference
in growth where trees have been
"farmed" and where they have been
neglected and allowed to take their
natural course. An oak grown in
South Jersey which had been prop
erly cared for had grown TO be
twice the size of the same specie of
tree which was twice as old, but
which had received no care what
ever. 1t was conclusive proof of the
value of forestry for increase of the
growth of timber.
Although New Jersey ranks next
to Massachusetts and Rhode Island
in density of population, eighty per
cent of the population of this state
live in the cities. Over half the
states area is in forests or open
country. 1t was argued that this
vast urban population is bound to
get out into the open. The enor-
nous number of automobile licenses
and fish and game licenses issued i'll
this state during the past year was
cited as proof. The proper develop
ment of the forest lands for the use
of the Boy Scouts, Y. NJ. c. A, Y. NJ.
II. A., knights Of Columbus. Camp
Fire Girls and similar organizations
that are appealing to the state for
estry bureau in increasing numbers
every year, indicate the demand that
there is for this forest development.
But more important than this is
the necessity for the state to raise
it's own timber. Experiments have
shown that the pine can be grown
as readily in New Jersey as in the
South. Today the industries of New
Jersey import So per cent of lumber
in various forms that is used here.
Out of every 500 worth of lumber
imported $40 goes to the railroads
for transportation. Even today
much of the demand for wood IN
small strips could be furnished by
this state. With the proper devel-
opments of the forests. practically
all the timber needed in this state
could be grown here. The idea is
to make the vast pine barrens" of
South Jersey grow real pine trees in
stead of being covered with scrub
oaI. Instead of the small, timer
ant saw mills. a real industry could
be developed. The idea is to de-
velop industries in the smaller COM
munities that could live on the fo--
ests around about when properly
EARNED"
Mr.. WILDER said that the legisla-
ton was adequate. but greater ap-
preparation was needed to properly
do the work. His special. plea, how
ever, was an aroused public opinion
as to the need of forestry and real
ization by the people Of the possi-
bilities of the vast tracts of what is
now useless land for forestry devel-
opment.
Before Mr.. WILDER was introduced
plans for ladies' night tomorrow
night were discussed. A delegation
from the local club will attend
Rotary Day at the State Home for
Boys at Jamesburg next Wednesday.
