T'.ie country's forests now cover 530,000,000 acres, or one-fourth the total .area of the United States, according to data compiled by forest service agents. Forests owned by the government cover one-fourth ' of the acreage and contain one-fifth the timber now standing. Forests privately owned extend over three-fourths the total forest area. Conservative lumbering is practiced on 70 per cent of the forests pifblicly owned and on less than 1 per cent of the forests privately owned. Senator Smoot, c.aitman of the section on forests 'of the National Conservation Commission, states that under right management the' forests will yield four times as much as they do now and also that wasted woods at the mihs can be reduced at least one-th'rd with 'future profit. It is estimated forest fires can be stopped at a yearly cost of one-fifth the vslue of the standing timber burned each vear. FRIGHT ABOUT EXPENSE. Drys" WiU Serve cn Election Boards in Whitley County Without Pay It appears that those persons who were overly exorcised concerning the "enormous expense" that would be entailed on taxpayers of Whitley county by reason cf a probable county option election have another guess coming Already fi:lc temperance -people in a number of counties of the state have offered to secure competent persons of the dry persuasion to fill all the positions on the election boards allotted to the drys, without charge or fees. Tn Whitlev county the anti-saloon and temperance leaders purpose to fellow this plan. So if the county option election costs the taxpayers more than a nominal sum for the court and county officers' fees and printing of ballots, f'.'e onus will be upon the wets. If the members of the election boards selected by the wets charge for their services when the drys serve without pay, they will surely have their nerve right with them. Missouri First in Zinc.

REID WANTS MONEY.

Legislature to be Asked for $101,000 for Making Prison Improvements. The state prison authorities arc preparing to ask the legislature at the coming session for an appropriation Ji $101,000 with which to enlarge the institution. Warden James D. Reid went to Indianapolis Monday to ralk over the matter with the members of the visitation committee. The authorities at the prison wish to build a new cell house to accommodate r(K) more prisoners and build a new factory building to furnish more employment for t'ie convicts. At the present time the state prison is crowded beyond its capacity. Many prisoners are being accommodated in the hospital. There are 1.192 prisoners, more than the institution has ever held before. The capacity of the prison is 090, making, 202 more prisoners than there are cells. A new cell house of stone, steel and concrete and having 300 cells, it is estimated, "would cost $S8,500. Tine proposed new factory building would cost $12,500. The ofticers also wish to increase the library at the prison and will ask $250 for this purpose. , . . ; Marriage Licenses. Daniel M.

Dogs and Vultures Feed UjKn Human Flesh Too Late for Rescue. ' Eight days after the earthquake there were still living people under the ruins of iMe.ssina. A few were taken out Monday, but cannot survive. The Duke of Genoa has arrived and is now taking a prominent part in the relief work. The crews of the Russian squadron are arousing increased admiration. They have labored wut'.iout rest, and t.ot a few of the sailors have been killed or injured in the : performance oi heroic services. Although confused and without system, the work of rescue has been carried on 'bravely by night as well as day. Searchlights on the war ships. flpod the ruins wifj their rays and give light to the salvage parties. At Nivzn. between Messina and Cantania. a freight train ran into and telescoped a relief train crowded with injured) person?, five of whom were killed.' ; . A correspondent made two tours about the v recked city through streets piled twenty or thirty feet high, with debris. It was a wilderness of ruin a mile wide and two miles long. Beau'tiiul churdSes, splendid villas in the foothills, hospitals, barracks and the university all shared the common lot. Two-thirds f the magnificent Norman Cathedral, the oridc of Messina, is in ru:ns and l'ttle or nothing remains of the relics cf Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Saracen architecture which marked the stages of Messina's twenty-sex centuries of tragic and tumultuous history. The loss to the world will be irreparable. Here and there were sncountered salvage parti" at work. They were d'Rfring at the instance of some distracted wife or mother who imagined she heard a voice, but usually there was no echo to the pathetic calling. One party was trying to dig out a gurl whese crying could be heard plainly, but as the ' correspondent watched there was a sudden cave-in and thereafter silence. In many places decomposing arms and 'egs protuded from heaps of masonry and plaser. Curnus freaks of the earthquake were everywhere to te observed. Standing walls had fallen out expos irg one tier of rooms above another, in whicTii nothing seemed to have been disturbed. Pictures hung straight on the walls, lamps were on the tables and vases and flowers on mantelpieces. In one place two buzznrds, their leaks full cf carrion, were sunning themselves on a windoKv ledge ove'r the body of a woman whose wcp.lih of black hair covered her face and shoulders. Dogs and cats are killed by the soldiers whenever canit feeding on the dead. Affidavits Against Hunkies. Peter J. Lyons, city engineer of Hammond, Tuesday filed wiflh the United States commissioner, Charles Surprise, forty affidavits on information against the "hunkies" from Gary, charging them with illegal voting and with procuring fraudulent naturalization papers. Mr. Surprise, the deputy United States clerk who issued the' naturalization papers, is getting out the writs as fast as possible. He informed Mr. Lyons that it would be necessary to send the affidavits to Indianapolis in order to have them "O. K'd" by the Unit-d States district attorney before he could issue warcanits on them. This is the first step toward apprehending a large number of men that the Dem ocrats assert carried the election in Lake county illegally. Syracuse Journal Sold. Charles Cook, lately of the War saw Union staff, and formerly on the F.lkhart Truth, has taken over theSyracuse Journal. Tiic Journal was started a year a;ro following the sus pension of the Leesburg Journal, the plant being moved to Syracuse. Walker & Fancil were publishers of the 'journal, independent in politics. I't will now become a Democntic organ. The other weekly paper in Syracuse is the Register, published. by John W. Messimore.

AMAZING GROWTH OF SECRET SERVICE

UPON INVESTIGATION CHAIR. MAN TAWNEY FOUND 3,113 MEN ON ROLLS IN 1906 All Departments Employ Sleuths for Almost Every Conceivable Purpose. The growth of the detective work performed under various guises in the executive departments since the Roosevelt policies were inaugurated has been enormous. A system of in vestigatiom and inspection equaled only by th police systems of France Germany and Russia is now in oper ation. Everything under the sun is being investigated by the government fonder various pretexts. Trade infor mation is one of the objects- sought, agricultural and natural resource pos sibilities is another. The greatest number ctf men and the. greatest amount of money being used now adays, however, is in an attempt to suppress corporate and individual crime and punish the crimünals. What Chairman Tawney Found. Two years ago Chairman Tawney, of the appropriation committee, col lated figures showing that in 1896, the government employed 931 special agents and detectives at a cost of $1,315,626, although but $321,950 was appropriated. By 1906 flie special agent p.nd detective rolls had grown to 3,113 men and the appropriations to $4,567,728.. Growths in the services named in the Tawney roll and other departments not 'mentioned in his compilation since 190G.;will triple the number of men employed and the amount spent annually by the government. The posloffice inspection department is an inistance. In 1S9G $300,000 was appropriated for this puropse and 108 officers iwere kept at work. Today there are 255 postofriee inspectors and the appropriation lor tne maintenance and rewards of the service was $1,136,770. v During 1908 the po'stofficc departmen spent for its inspection service $1,0C2,786.74. Of this amount $1,0C0,S47.90 came under the head of postoffice inspectors." For the year ending June 30, 189St -the expenditures under the head of "mail depredations and postoffioe inspectors" amonted to l36G.6i4.fi7. Of this amount $4,900 was paid in rewards, leaving $361,744.57 for the bureau. Tripled in Ten Years. From these figures it Is seen that tht cost of the inspection service n the postoffice department has been trpled Hi a decade. The authorities at the department say, however, that such a comparison is not fair, as the general postal service has'prown fatout f proportion to the inspector's bureau. 'In 1908, as well as 1898, the expenses of this bureau came within fiie appropriation. In 189S the total appropriation for maintenance and rewards was $400,000 and in 1903 $1,136,770. Forest guards ami rangers form another group of government policemen not included in -the Tawney compilation. It took the senate four years to discover how the money derived from the sales of government trees and government privileges by the forest service was disbursed. The same length of tame -was needed to find out how many men -were on the forestry service payrolls. This service as one of Mr. Roosevelt's pet hobbies. The forest guards and rangers number 1.213 men. They are distinct from . the supervisors and forest experts, although they are experienced woodsmen. They watch for forest fires and fight them, keep sheep-herders off government land, and .prevent depredatidns of timber thieves. They cost the government $1,204,000 annually. IMore government police are in the Indian service. Tlhey number fortynine officers and 685 privates. They cost the government about $200,000 a Fanama is another police duty of Uncle Sam. It costs $200,000 a year to keep 231 police and watchman preventing some crime and locking . up criminals in the Isthmian police stations and jails. White House and Other Details. In Washington a small army of watchmen are employed in government departments. At the white house Mr. Roosevelt has thirty-six members of fie District of Columbia police force guarding his house, and a detail of several secret officers guarding his person. Of the 630 policemen in Wasbington, 197 men are detailed at public buildings and courts This army df watchmen is strengthened throughout the United States by another legnon of guards and watchman at United States .court houses, jails, penitentiaries, mints, sub-treasuries, ammunition and armory factories, and other government buildings. A small army of men is employed in pure food and meat( inspec tion service. The immigration - service has dozens of special officers hunting smuggled Chinamien and other undesirable aliens. A group of items in the interior department appropriation -which has to deal directly and indirectly with police duty foots up $586,740. It cojlsiists of items for protecting public lands, scouts, and rangers in the public parks, and spetcial inspectors in the secretary's office and in the land office. . The army and navy both draw on tfic treasury for money for police and investigation purposes. Rewards for deserters and costs of transportation make up a goodly item. The state department has a corps of .guards for legations and embassies, in addition to expenditures from

the contingent fund for the discovery of secret information. These item naturally do not appear in the rec ords. The president has a contingent fund of $35,000 a year for executive office expenses. This money is available for any investigations the president may care to make on his own hook, although it is largely used for other purposes.

NO DIVISION OF COURTS. Indiana judicial Bill Fails of Passage in the House by a Close Vote. Transacting business without even the semblance of a quorum, fre house of representatives Tuesday passed several Ibills of a miscellaneous character, but of little general public importance. The only incident of note during the consideration of these measures was a heated discussion among the members oi the Indiana delegation over a bill to provide for the establishment of judicial divisions in the district of Indiana. The measure failed of passage through the refusal of a majority to order its flrird reading and its 'being subsequently laid upen the table. Over two hours were devoted to consideration of the bill porviding for the erection of embassy and legation buildings abroad, without any conclusion being reached with regard to it. At 5 p. m. the house adjourned. PREVENTS MANY FROM TEACHING REPRESENTATIVE SAYS HIGH SCHOOL QUALIFICATION A HARDSHIP. Another Wishes County Superinten dent to Hire Teachers Instead of Township Trustee. A few days ago a communication was published froni a reader of tnis ,:apcr, who was against the proposed law,, namely of taking th appointment of teachers from the towash'p trustee, anil vesting that power in the county superintendent. Representative Pierson of Marion county, will introduce the proposed bill in the coming legislature. Representative Smith Askren, of Harrison county, has an ax for the law whici requires a high school education or ts equivalent as a qualification for a beginning school teacher. "I shall introduce a bill to repeal that part of thelaw" aid Mr. Askern. VThere is no reason why any young man or young woman should have a iiigh school education before egimiing the work of school teaching. Down in the southern part of the S-latc that law has shut out scores of young people who otherwise would be teaching school and gaining an education. "In many localities the young people do not '!iave an opportunity to go through high school, and yet they are qualified to teach children in the lower grades. It as only by teach ing school that some Iboys and girls can get money to go to higher institutions and complete their education." Wishes Trustees to Hire Teachers. Representative Pierson, of Marion county, will oppose a bill which it is said, will be introduced to provide that county superintendents, instead of township trustees, shall hire school teachers. Mr. Pierson has heurd that the bill would be introduced. He has an ax ready for it. Mr. Pierson declared that such a law would not take the appointment of teachers out of politics as is contended by the supporters of the measure. Judging from his own experience he says he would much rather that the trustees would hire "the teachers than for the county superintendents to do it. Representative Pierson will give his support to a measure to prevent stream pollution. His farm near Valley Mills is ".'two orVhree miles from White river, but he feels the effect of the pollution of the river just the. same. He has not studied in detail any of the plans for Pre venting stream pollution but he will support any good bill along this line. TEACHERS FAIL IN DUTY. Held Responsible for- Correcting; the Defects of Parents Declares Geo. H. Martin. That teachers have not done their duty in the past and must do more in itr.ie future for the proper devel opment of the world was declared bySecretary George .II. Martin, of the Massachusetts board of education in an address to the Ohio teachers' convention Wednesday. "To school people," he said, "the prevailing loosening of family tics comes closely. The crowding of the divorce courts to the student of so ciology is only a phenomenon to be observed and tabulated and speculated upon. To the teacher, it means children bereft of home influence, parents helpless in the presence of their precocious offspring and begging the tciacher to do what God made diem responsible for.

Blanket Remonstrance Was Filed Friday Keeping City Dry for Two More Years. A blanket remonstrance, preventing tlve issuance of a saloon license to any person for a period of two years for the Third Ward of the city of Warsaw, -was filed with Auditor Beagle on Friday. The remonstrance, contains the names of 266 legal voters of the ' Third ward which makes a majority of forty-two in favor of the "drys." As there has been no notice of the withdrawals filed tfiis will prevent William C. Hamman from securing a iiquor license for the -Mickey hotel building opposite the Pennsylvania station.- Hie filing of the remonstrance for the Third ward of the city of Warsaw makes the entire county of Kosciusko dryt and for the present saloon license applications -will be useless. The large majority secured on the remonstrance came as a surprise to both the "wets" and the "drys." With the remonstrance filed appears that of William C. Hammaxn, he having signed a remonstrance card some time last year and neglected to withdraw his name before the remonstrance was filed. Thus his name appears as one of the remonstrators against his own application for a license. ' State Evangelist Coming. O. J.
