WT IS INDIANA GOING TO DO

ABOUT IT?

TIMES BIRRAf, ' I AT 8TATK CAPITAL. ' Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 12. What Is the stats of Indiana going to iK about the rapid exhaustion of her timber supply? This is one of the questions that will be put up to the next legislature. In his annual report. Just sent to the printer, C C. Deam, secretary of the state board of forestry, recommends that the state purchase such lands as will not pemanently support agriculture and devote them to scientific foresry. This is the only solution of the problem the board has to suggest. The principal argument advanced In the report in favor of such a plan 13 that th state will never be reforested by any other means. There are thousands of acres of eroded hillsides and norn out fields in the state which should be planted to forest tres. it says. But investigation shows that in a majority of cases the owners of these lands are too poor to bear the expense of reforesting, so-that the matter is neglected and the conditions become annually worse. "It is becoming more and more evident to students of this problem that the burden of reforesting should be transferred from the indivadual to th state, because individuals will not invest in an enterprise in which thy are

compelled to wait so long for returns as the growing of timber entails," says the report. In adopting such a plan Indiana would only be following the lead taken by other states where similar conditions prevail. .Wisconsin has 427,000 acres forest preserves, of which the state purchased 100.000 acres at an average price of J3 an acre. The. forest preserves of Pennsylvania cover 962, 5S0 acres which cost the state $2.24 an acre. New York has acquired 1,641.593 acres on which to plant trees, having paid an average price of $4.42 an acre for S50.829 acres. The state has laid a foundation for the work by establishing a preserve of 2.000 acres in Clark county, which Mr. Deam's report declares is the best demonstration of the growing of hard woods in the United States.

Extensive experiments are being carried on at the station to determine the rate of growth of various species of

trees and to estimate their value. In the report Is printed a list of trees, together with keys, which will enable the landowner to determine the- composition of his woodlot, to determine what species he desires to incresse or decrease, and to estimate with fair accuracy the value of his stand. A study of this information would result in vastly improved and more profitable management of existing wood lots. tli report says.

BASEBALL SITUATION IS DISCUSSED THERE

Meeting Shows That Fans Want One Team for Twin Cities.

(Special to Th Times.) East Chicago, Jan. 12. An interesting session was held by the East Chicago club Tuesday night, on the occasion of the installation of the new officers. A luncheon of coffee and sandwiches was jrovlded and some encouraging reports were enjoyed. An important topic that was discuss

ed was the baseball situation. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that one team should represent both East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, East Chicago having representation in the management. The club members seemed tn favor of anything that would bring the two towns closer together, and expressed unequivocal opposition toward anything that would serve to widen thi breach. Two baseball teams fighting each other tooth And nail, was conducive to this, according to the general opinion. ' Dr. Raleigh Hale the outgoing president gave an interesting account of what cl ub had accomplished during the two years of its existence, starting as it did on a nucleus of 11 members and having now grown to membership of eighty with more coming in every meeting. Georg W. Ijewis, the new president gave his ideas of what a club should do, and what It Should mean to lha community. The new officers Installed last night

(Special to Thb Times.) , Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan, 12. Funeral services for the late James K. Lightbody, who was killed Wednesday evening by a B. A O. train, will be held tomorrow evening from the. home of the widow, Mrs. Katharine Lightbody. The services will take place at 6:30 o'clock, and the remain will be taken aboard the 6:42 B. & O. train en route to Pittsburg, where services will also be held. The Masons are In full charge, their ceremonies to be followed by brief prayer seryl'ces participated in by Rev. E. O. Bradshaw Of Chicago, Dr. Alexander Monroe of East Chicago and Rev. M. M. Day of Indiana Harbor. Mrs. Lightbody and Miss Mary Lightbody will accompany the remains to Pittsburg. A sad coincidence is the fact that today was the 3Mt wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Lightbody. They were married in Pittsburg, where Mr. Lightbody settled after coming here from Scotland, where he was born SS years ago the 27th of last May. From Pittaburg he went to Muncle, where he lived for ten yearsprevloua to his taking up his residence in Indiana Harbor at the time the Inland mill established here. James Lightbody, Jr., the son who is in Berlin, was in suspense over hia father's death for soma time, owing to

a mistake made by the operator who

took the cablegram sent young Mr. Lightbody after the accident. This read

"Died this evening" Instead of '"Father died this evening"' and some time after

it was sent the family received a mes

sage from the son asking who had died. Of course, it will be Impossible for young Mr. Lightbody to attend the

funeral. The Lightbodys are a greatly respected family in Indiana Harbor, Mr.

Lightbody having been very well

thought of by a very large circle of friends. The entire community extends

its sympathy to the widow and daugh

ter.

The filing of a suit for divorce by Philip Hichborn, in Washington. D. C, has resulted in the discovery of the most sensational part of the 1 scandal that so deeply stirred capital society when Mrs. Hichborn deserted her husband and child for Horace Wylie, who left his own wife and children to fly with her. They are now together in Europe, under assumed names. After their first flight, it has been learned. Mrs. Hichborn tried a novel experiment to make sure Wylie was not making a mistake in going with hen She sent him back to America to live for five more months with his family, so he might know positively which woman he wanted. At the expiration of that period Wylie settled half big wealth upon his wife, and rejoined Mrs. Hichborn.

a 15 bill. He then asked Mr. Pohlplatz to cash a check for 125, as his funds were getting low. He said. "I have one coming by mail which will arrive here this evening." This was last night. He left the saloon and returned about three quarters of an hour later saying that he got the check out of the postofnee. Mr. Pohlplatz began to get suspicious and said to Tleman that he did not have $25, but that he would give him $3 and the rest would be given to him

in the morning. This seemed satisfactory to Tieman, so he took the three dollars. Pohlplatz went' outside and

then notified the police, and shortly

afterward Captain Rimbach placed Tie man under arrest.

Tieman had another check for $25

In his possession, including a number of blank checks. Tieman's work was considered very raw and the police

think he has not been long at the busi

ness. The check was made out on the

First National bank of Chicago and

was not made out on the regular First

National bank check form. It read,

pay to the order of E. Brockelman, $25

Signed by W. W. Kimball Co., per F. R,

Meyers.

The Daily Police Bulletin of Jan. 6,

issued in Chicago, states that Tieman

is wanted there on a charge of forg

ing the same kind of a check for $25

Tieman will not have a preliminary hearing and the charges will be filed direct in the superior court.
