In many places the roads kept breaking through when big loads were bauled, and our hauling was de- layed until about the middle of Januvary. Men who should have been getting out timber were needed on the road work and as a conseguence our cut is greatly below what we expected. “Men bave been scarce all {winter and with unfavorable weather and a snowfall of sixty- eight inches, conditions have bzen most unfavorable for profit- {able logging.” The T. M Partridge Lumber company, whose chief business |is getting out cedar telephone and telegraph poles at Mizpah, closed its season last week, and according to the company’s sec- retary, H. F. Partridge, cut 1I00,- 000 poles as against 150,000, figured on the season’s output W. C. Meader, secretary of the Hawkins Lumber & Land com- pany, says that conditions at Hawkins were similar to those Handicapped by a scarcity of men throughout the winter, and by early snows which came be- fore the had making it almost imypossible to build good ice-roads for haulicg, logging conditions in Minnesota and Wisconsin have been the worst experienced in years and as a result the cut of logs will be about a third short of last year. Many of the loggers are haul- swamps frozen, ing night and day in an endeavor | to deliver the timber that has been cut, and with a continuation of present weather conditions for two weeks the companies ex- pect to haul oui most of the cut. With the approach of warm weather three weeks ago many of the lumberjicks becawe restive and began quitiing the woods. Cutting has praetically come to an end, and the con- tractors are rushing the hauling as fast as they can.

At Park Rapids, where we are operating this wicter, the snow came the early part of December, while We were obliged to cut roads from {ten to twelve miles, digging purposes. Heavy hauling was out of the question in that sec- tion, and although work is still in progress, there is no firm bottom to the roads. = While there is a shortage in the cut for the winter, Platt B. Walker, who, as editor of the Mississippi Valley Lumberman, keeps in touch with the industry, says that the shortage will prob- ably not be felt by the consumer for another year, as there are enough logs in the rivers and on the landings to keep most of the sawmills running at their normal capacity.

MAKES ~ STATEMENT TO COMMITTEE INFORMATION DISCLOSED DUR- ING SHARP CLASH AT THE INVESTIGATION. ‘Washington, March 16.—That Sen- ator Foraker is gathering evidence at his own expense in defense of former negro soldiers who were discharged from the army for alleged complicity for the “shooting up” of Brownsville was disclosed in a sharp clash be- tween members of the senate commit- tee on military affairs, which is in- vestigating the Brownsville affair. Senators Overman, Foster and War- ner had plied a number of witnesses with questions as to whom they had talked with before coming to Wash- Ington to testify. These witnesses confessed they had been interviewed by a man named Ferguson as to what they knew concerning the Brownsville affalr and the senators named then displayed an active interest in Fergu- son’s mission and as to whether he was a white man or a negro. The witnesses seemed to be in doubt and none was willing to swear to his race and all of the witnesses disclaimed knowledge as to Ferguson's connec- tion with the investigation. Again and again witnesses were asked if Ferguson was white or black and this form of questioning was .taken up when Corporal John L. Rimmel, a cook of Company M, Twenty-sixth infantry, was recalled for cross-examination. Durlng the inquiry Senator Foraker sat sllent until the question seemed to ralse some doubt as to whether the witness was telling the truth concern- ing his acquaintance with Ferguson and then -interrupted, saying: Foraker Engaged Ferguson. “Ferguson went down to Fort Sam Houston at my expense. .1 received an anonymous letter giving the names of several persons “who might be of value in this inquiry.. The persons were said to be at Fort Sam Houston and 1 sent Ferguson down there to talk with them and find out what they knew. If anyone suspects that the manner of conducting:this examina- tion and taking evidence is not such as it ought to be I would like to take the stand and make an explanation.” The senator then explained that he had been assigned by the committee to conduct the direct examination of the witnesses and that he had not sought the appointment. “I insisted that former Governor Black of New York, who was engaged by the . Constitutional league to de- fend these negro soldiers, should con- duct this examination,” added Mr. Foraker. “You did not want him and that is the way I came to be designat- ed. As to Ferguson I want it under- stood now for all time that I employed him myself and I did it at my own ex- pense.” i 3% The incident was passed over after an exchange of compliments between Senator Foraker and the several sen- ators taking the oprosite side of the case.

Madison, Wis,, March 16.—What is believed to be the first open evidence of a campaign for the election of Gov- ernor Davidson as United States sena- tor to succeed John C.

Delmas, leading counsel for Harry K Thaw, sprung a decided surprise upon District Attornev Jerome by announc- Ing that he would not cross-examine any of the experts for the state. Mr. Jerome thereupon put five alien- ists upon the stand one after the oth- er and, claiming their familiarity with the hypothetical questions put to the experts for the defense and also M. Jerome’s 15,000-word exposition of the evidence, they declared their opinion that at the time Thaw shot and killed Stanford White he knew the nature and quality of his act and knew that the act was wrong. Mr. Hartridge, for the defense, undertook a cross-ex- amination of Dr. Mabon by adding certain details to Mr. Jerome’s long hypothetical question. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who has been summoned as a witness in the case, had a conference with Mr. Delmas and others of the Thaw coun- sel before the morning session of the court. When Mr. Jerome purposed calling Dr. Hamilton he seemed intent upon proving that Thaw suffered from an incurable form of insanity. Then came the discovery of the James Clinch Smith testimony as to Thaw’s rational conversations on the Madison Square roof garden and his roaming about the place as if looking for the man who became his victim and Mr. Jerome'’s switch to a policy of pressing the trial to a conclusion on the indict- ment for murder in the first degree. Dr. Hamilton has expressed the opinion that Thaw was insane when he saw him in the Tombs and re- mains so. Mrs. Thaw and Hummel Testify. At the afternoon session Mrs. Eve- lyn Thaw was recalled to the stand and to questions put by Mr. Delmas declared that she had visited Abra- ham Hummel with a view to having his legal advice as a counselor at law. This was done in an effort to bar Hummel’s testimony sought to be in- troduced by the prosecution. Hummel was then recalled and tes- tified, after an objection by Mr. Del mas was overruled, that Evelyn Nes- bit told him that Thaw had begged her time and again to sign and swear to documents he had prepared charg- ing Stanford White with her betrayal and that when she had told Thaw it ‘was not so he beat her. Hummel then identified the afidavit Evelyn Nes- bit is said to have made in his office on Oct. 27, 1903.

Mr. Jerome said he had asked Mrs. Thaw about the original and she denied ever having had it in her pos- session. Judge Fitzgerald overruled this objection along with all the others. The regular afternoon recess of fif- teen minutes was ordered during Mr. Jerome’s examination of Hummel. Hummel identified the photographic copy of the affidavit as having been made from the original. Mr. Jerome then turned the witness over for cross- examination. On cross-examination Hummel ad- mitted he had been convicted of con- spiracy, having been prosecuted by District Attorney Jerome.
