SURVEY STATE TO SAFEGUARD ITS RESOURCES Conservation Department Prepares Report for Next Assembly. The State department of conservation is engaged* In preparing a survey of the natural resources of Indiana, the purpose of which Is to Inform the SeventySecond Indiana General Assembly, which meets in January, and the public, what tie Hoosier State possesses in the way of native wealth; how much of it Is utilized, and to submit recommendations for further judicious utilization of State resources. The survey, which is being prepared undfr the supervision of Richard Lleber, director of the department of conservation, was ordered by a Joint resolution of the last special session of the SeventyFirst Assembly. Asa result of this survey, the subject matter of which Is from time to time being assembled by the division heads of the department, It Is hoped that con structive legislation will be enacted that will, in a measure, prompt the work of restoring as nearly as possible the State's once magnificent hardwood forests, provide for a topographic survey, reduce wastes attendant to the mining of coals, prevent land erosion and Increase soli fertility, stop unwise drainage projects that tend to lower lake levels, prohibit stream pollution, prove the wisdom of establishing reservoirs for conserving water and guaranteeing water power for future Industrial development, and to prevent damage from devastating Hoods and the like. One cardinal feature of the survey will show the desirability of the extension of State parks and State forests as a means of promoting public health and also for handsome remuneration. * “Indiana, with a population of nearly three million, has neglected to safeguard its water supply and prepare for any future augmented demand,” says Mr. Lleber.

'•Through laxity It has permitted much valuable water area to be wasted on account of unwise drainage projects. Lake levels have been lowered, lakes drained and streams polluted by reason of commercial invasion and from being used as sewers and depositories of industrial and municipal wastes. “This unwise procedure can be abolished through the creation of tne office of a state engineer, whose duty would l>e to safeguard water levels, prevent contamination of bodies of water and stimulate the use of water power to relieve the terrific drain on such fuels as coal, gas and oil. “Richly endowed with extensive hardwood forests, Indiana was prodigal of this natural resource and today finds itgplf unable to meet the demand for j better grade timber. “Thousands of acres of hill country, fundamentally fit only for forest growing. now are largely unremunerative. “This land can be purchased at a very reasonable figure, and It is the duty of the State to plant these rocky, denuded and infecund wastes to forests to insure a permanent timber supply for future generations. “If any person ever questioned the necessity of State parks—recreational centers for the masses, they shnnld spend a day at Turkey Run or at McCormick's Creek Canyon and gaze upon the beauty and grandeur of these native shrines. “They also will be Impressed by the eontentment which permeates the crowds that In season fairly swarm over these enchanted preserves. “Unquestionably State parks and recreational centers must ever play an Important part in our economic Tlfe, for they offer the only solution of oven temporary relief t, those living In congested Industrial centers.” The conservation commission is endeavoring to secure Ciifty Falls and land adjacent thereto near Madison for/a State park, and also is bending every effort to acquire several miles of Lake Michigan shore front in the dune region for a big State park. According to Mr. Lieber'a plans, the State should acquire, before increasing land values make the project prohibitive, at least six milts of beach front and laud back into the dunes for one or two miles. “Here.” he says, "many thousands of our citizens who arc daily wage earners can enjoy lakeside pleasures that now are only within the possibilities of the wealthier class. “While no one Tpestlons the fact that Indiana will continue to progress, a topotraphlc map would expedite civic itfiorovements along many lines and at the same time serve to Interest outside capital toward investment. In Indiana. U>s THAN 7 FKR ( ENT OF STATE SO MAPPED. “The needs of a topographic survey *re so manifold that it is unnecessary to enumerate them. "Suffice It to say that less than 7 per cent of the state is topographically mapped. “Ohio Is completely mapped, “The Federal Government yolnnteers to pay half the cost of compiling maps and the entire cost of map printing. “If Indiana is to continue to make appreciable headway toward the conservation and perpetuation of Its wild came and fish life, a revision of existing State fishing and hunting laws is absolutely ’essential. “Under present law a warden force three or four times the size of the present one—twenty-five men—could not abolish the fish pirate, illicit fur-taker, dynamiter and that class which seemingly think It Is all right to take fish •nd game Illegally and out of season. “Our game and fish laws are conflicting, cumbersome, antiquated and fail miserably to provide the needed powers to officers endeavoring to protect and perpetuate fish and game.” Mr. Lieber points out that adequate laws will result in the restocking of streams and will permit fur-hearers, game birds, rabbits and quail to prepagate. Asa result thousands of tourist sportsmen will be attracted to Indiana, he says. “Indiana Is rich In coal, clays for use In the ceramic industries, evidence of some important oil deposits, et cetera, •nd It behooves the State to make the most of Its geological assets,” he eontinned. “One of great/** crimes against mankind and from whlcfc we should b.o immediately and permanently safeguarded is the waste attendant to the mining of coal. “The waste In mining, which has •monnted to 100 to 150 per cent for anthracite, and to 50 per cent of bltumlnons coal of the amount taken out, Is due to several causes. “These chiefly are caused by not robbing the pillars; unclean mining In the strip pit method; leaving coal containing partings; producing unrecovered culm; leaving coal around horsebacks, bells, etc., and mining lower beds before spper ones. Farmer Indicted in Fist Fight Fatality The Times. FRANKLIN, Ind., Oct. B.—The Johnson County grand Jury has returned an Indictment against Thomas Melvin, charging him with Involuntary manslaughter In connection with the death of James Mcßride, farmer and neighbor of Melvin, who died Wednesday as a result of Injuries received In a flgbt recently with Melvin.

' " The fight grew out of ill feeling between the two men who had raised a crop of corn shares on land belonging to Me*l4a mother.

INDIANA COAL situation IS IN CONFUSION (Continued From Page One.) sion has gathered for price-fixing purposes. “Any dealer, jobber or wholesaler affected by the order of the commission has at any time the right to appear before the commission and secure a hearing, if the prides fixed will hurt any one,” said Mr. Eschbach. “There is a crisis on and an attempt may be made to discredit this commission and the law, declared Mr. Eschbach, “but no man has any moral, equitable, legal or other right to ? tfce women and children of this Stac differ from cold. “I love my country and wish to help clean up the coal situation so it trill aid the middle class of people, the same as you and I,” said Mr. Eschbach, “and It Is high time the situation was cleared up, as the people cannot stand the' burdens.” Mr. Eschbach told his audience that he wished their support In the coal question now confronting the v people. MR. ESCHBACH J MAKES A PROMISE. “No man In the State need lose out on this order, and as long as } am chairman they will not make an abnormal profit as ' they have in the last seven months.” he said. “If the coal men of the State undertake to tie up the State in this situation the blame will be on the operators' heads and not on mine,” declared Mr. Eschbach. “I am not criticising the operators of the State, as many have worked with the commission for weeks in assembling information and, in fact, have cooperated with-,us to the extent of providing coal for orders which I had received for utilities of the State.” Mr. Eschbach predicted the death of wagon mines when the present high prices are dropped, as the wagon mines cannot operate except at an abnormal expense.

SOUTH BEND SEES COLD FURS ACE WINTER Special to The Time*. SOUTH, BEND, Ind., Oct. B—Fuel dealers in South Bend declare that furnaces in the city will be col dthls winter if the new State ruliDg on coal prices | is permitted to stand. The grade of coal used by householders here has been, retailing at sl2 a ton and was stocked at $7.50 a ton, mine price. The new ruling, permitting tbe addition of $2.25 to the mine cost of supplies on hand, fixes the retail cost at $9.75. entting in half the margin between mine and burner Declaring that city drayage alone frequently eats up the 52.25 allowed for all transportation expense* and profit* after tbe coal leaves the mines, dealers declare deliveries of ton lots at $1 an hour and comparatively long hauls of half-ton and quarter-ton purchases cost more than Is allowed. If the commission act. declared by coal men here to be "flimsier than mosquito netting,” runs tbe gauntlet of constitutionality contests, the dealers declare that they will shut up *hop and jeek other occupations. The city water works bunkers contain • supply of coal sufficient for ten day*. HIGH COAL PRICES BRANDED UNJUSTIFIED WASHINGTON. Oct B—High bltumlnons coal prices are unjustified and consumers who have as much as a month's supply on hand should buy only for Immediate need, the American Wholesale Coal Association advised today. There is no danger of a bituminous coal shortage, tbe Association said, and indicated that by holding off buying consumers <jan cut prices. The statement of the association was prepared by Its executive committee. "It Is tbe opinion of the committee that a great change In tbe whole market situation is imminent,” the statement said. Citing reasons for Its conclusions, the coal association pointed out that 0. E. Lesher, formerly satlsticlan of the United States geological survey, estimated a production of 11,500,090 tons of bituminous coal a week until December will meet an Immediate need and pile up a forty-mii-lion-ton surplus. The Geological Survey reporta show a most “satisfactory condition of stock of bituminous coal now in the hands of consumers” and reports gathered by the association show that large consumers, who recently had no storage stocks, now have a six weeks' or three months' supply, the statement said. In addition many large buyers are no longer taking any grade of coni offered and many coal concerns are finding It difficult to dispose of their stocks, according to the association. This Is reflected in price drop* of as much as $2 a ton In the Middle West. The association also pointed out that the close of navigation will release to the general trade coa from mines nowsending their production to the Northwest by the lakes. Export trade, the association said, will not Increase because docks on the Atlantic coast can not handle more coal than they are now handling.
