NTEREY PIE 15~ | PROFITABE. TINBER, Hias Had an Extraordinary Grow: in New Zéaland. Foresters in the United States are iCh surprised by the statement in e’ January issue of the Journal of leulture of New Zealand, just re-’ fived in this country, that Monterey e “is by far the most valuable profitable timber tree that can be nted” in New Zealand. |This pine grows naturally in a few Iy restricted areas in southern plifornia, principally in the neigh- Moud of Monterey Bay, withh one f two isolated areas to the south on Santa Catalina isiand. While esters have iknown that its growth | comparaiively rapid, the tree has jen regarded as practically valueless f timber, though it has been plant- to serve as a windbreak for orange ves. Should Be Investigated. ‘he reports of its behavior in New land. however, seem to make a Irther investigation of its value in lis country well worth while. In w of the extraordinarily rapid owth which the tree has made in ir country, New Zealanders have rkable pine,” and from the figures orted by the New Zealand depart- | ent of agriculture, industry, and jmmerce. this namé seems to be well ted. The claims for Monterey e are based on the phenomenal owth which it has made in planta- ns and the many uses to which the pod seems adapted. 1,400 Feet in One Tree. lIn one plantation, for example, in { varied from twenty- k to twenty-nine yellrs old, one tree a yield of 1,400 board feet of timber and the average yleld of ¢ plantation was approximately 0,000 board feet for each acre. ite pine, the tree best adapted to est management in the northeast- n United States, will scarcely yield bre than 20,000 board feet per acre this age. Loblolly pine, the most pid growing piue of the southeast, kes not more than 16,000 board per acre in equal length of time. other 27-year-old -plantation of bnterey pine in New Zealand yield- 75,000 board feet of 'saw timber sixty cords of fire wood per re, yet both of these plantations e on pure sand not suitable for ing purposes. One Tree's Growth. n individual tree, only forty-six rs old, was estimated to contain bre than 6,000 board feet. Average ite. pine trees of the same age in s country, when grown in the for- seldom contain much more than board feet, so that the figures en in the New Zealand report seem nost incredible, It is known, how- er, that certain trees, outside of eir native habitat, make remark- le growth, particularly in their Her vears, as has been strikingly wn in some of the Australian eu- pfl in California and in Brazil. On the basis of the tremendous ds of Monterey pine reported for Zealand, the author of the article [the Journal of Agriculture believes Monterey pine can be grown ofitably in that country on land upwards of $50 an acre, even there is a comparatively high of planting, ! Uses of the Wood. in New Zealand the wood is said be used for practically all building poses except flooring. It makes gellent lumber for boxes, fruit cking eases, and for other similar rposes. It is not durable in con- t with the ground or when ex- ied to the weather unpainted. [The behavior of this pine in New land has been so remarkable that g forest service considers that a ther investigation of its value in s country would be well worth ile. - SOCCER FOOTBALL. i-Finals Will Be Played Off To- morrow Afternoon. e semi-finals for the state soccer ptball championship will be played ‘at' Banning’s fleld tomorrow af- oon, the kickoff taking place ot e’clock.

General Funston reported that con- ditions had improved so much outside the city that the way now was open for trade in vegetables and cattle. Garrison Is ‘“Reinforced.” Admiral Badger reported to the navy department today that the federal garrison at Tampico had been somewhat “reinforced” but that fight-, ing ceased yesterday and had not been resumed up to midnight last night. Sailors and marines who were killed at the occupation of Vera €ruz will be honored with funeral services of a national character on the arrival of their bodies aboard the United States cruiser ‘Montana at New York, the navy department announced to- day. German Woman Killed. Vera Cruz, May 2.—Mrs. Clara Beckemeyer, & German who, accord- ing to rumor, was mistaken for an American, was killed by a mob in the streets of Mexico City on April 27, according to news brought here today by refugees from the federal capital. No confirmation of the incident has been received here. Mrs. Beckemeyer was a widow of three months. She wore at her collar a small silk German flag, but the mob, regarding this merely as a flimsy disguise of nationality, is said to have dragged her through the streets and So maltreated her that she died. Tampico Situation Discussed. The situation at Tampico and the effort of the Mexican governor of the state to cut off the food supply of Vera Cruz divided attention today. The reported massing of the con- stitutionalist forces against Tampico is regarded as important, because it is felt to be certain that the fall of the city will have some bearing on the immediate policy of the United States, i Many persons who are well in- formed of the federal preparedness in Tampisco are skeptical of the pre- dictions of an early rebel success, They point out that three federal gunboats have thus far easily re- pelled all attacks. The situation of the town is such that a force cannot approach with- out exposing itself to the fire of four- inch quick firing guns, except from one direction, That point is defend- ed by a triple line of trenches and many machine guns and field cannon. Gunboats and soldiers are plentifully supplied with ammunition. Rebels Without Artlilery. The rebels heretofore have been without artillery. TUnless guns have reached them from the north it will be difficult for them to drive out the federals, The fall of Tampico might help solve the food situation in Vera Cruz. In that event it is presumed the trade between Vera Cruz and Tampico would be resumed and that the ter- ritory about Tampico would supply the market here to some extent. Just now the only supplies reaching Vera Cruz are coming from the small ranches near enough to the city for owners to feel assured of American protection. Scores of natives carry- ing eggs and milk arrive daily, but this supply is small. The hotels are unable to obtain fruit and butter. If the order of the federal governor of the state of Vera Cruz threatening ex- ecution of any one bringing food to the city is effective people will be forced to depend upon goods shipped from the United States and else- where. Appeal to G8vernor. Many, ranchers from northern and southern truck gardens a few miles out called at Governor's Kerr’s office today and wished to know if they would be protected if they brought in supplies. The order not to extend the American lines, however, prevents giving the protection desired, and the only ranches which the authorities can count upon are those within the narrow boundaries of the outposts or within range of the pickets rifles. The money situation also is peculian The banks have been virtually at a standstill for all except small ex- change business because of the lack of stamps required by the Mexican laws now in force. Nearly 400,000 pesos of captured stamps were placed in circulation todfy to relieve the sit- uation. It is getting impossible to find Mexican silver change and the supply of small bills is exhausted. Some merchants are doing business on a double standard. Goods bought in the United. States or abroad are sold only on a gold basis, while goods bought in Mexico City are sold for Mexican money. But little American change is available and small business is hampered. The city is becoming flooded with Mexican bills of large denomination through the efforts of refugees to obtain American money for Mexican money. In some in- stances they have paid as high as four to one, while some business houses are demanding two for one, McClellan Strung Up. R. W. McClellan, a pineapple grow- er, was-twice strung up by the neck by ten of his ewn workmen, robbed and left for dead on a plantation at El Burro, near Santa Luceria. He ar- rived here with other refugees yes- terday in a penniless condition and was taken in charge by the Red Cross. McClellan had received Consul Can- ada’'s warning to leave but delayed his departure. He was seized in' the yard of the plantation, bound and beaten and ordered to produce his moncy. He declared he had none, whereupon he was hung up to a limb of o thee. After a few minutes he wkhish Ead been rified, m;&u_ 32,000 in gold the re ! thing portable in the house also had been stolen. McClellan and his partner, W. P. Gregory, the latter having been absent at the time of the robbers’ visit, made their way to Santa Lucrecia and Joined the refugees from the capital. Reports Are Premature. Chihuahua, Mex.,, May 1. Via Paso. May 2.__Reports of the evac- uation of Saltillo are premature, it is officially stated here. The rebels expect an imjortant battle before the city is taken and for this purpose forces are n» terey and T rreon. A review of the troops headed by Carranza aad Villa was held today. The two leaders, members of the cabinet and the military staffs and lesser officials tcok part in a feast at the Gnubernatorial palace. As the troops were passing the Foreign club, General Carranza es- pied an Amcrican newspaper man amorg the spectators. He halted the procession whi'e he turned aside to shake the foreigner’s hand. The act was plainly intended to make e\'iden',l to Wexican on'cokers that the official atuiude tow-1d Americans is friend- Iy. In faci cvery Mexican under- stands that anti-foreign agitation cr demonstrati)n means death to the oi- fender. Capitrl With Carranza. When Carruanza leaves here understood the rebel capital moves with him, first to Torreon and then with little delay to Monterey. From the latter city he will direct the cam- palans against Tampico and Saltilic and after that against San Luis Po- tosi, Zacatecas and Aguas Calientes. The rebel-American phase of the occupation of Vera Cruz, which for a time after the issuance of Carranza’s no:s to Secretary Bryan looked grave, is considered ciosed. Carranza as- sumes ‘that the Americans will leave Mexican soil at once upon the com- plete triumph of the revolution. it is Proceelding to Mexico. » Fla., May 2.—The Unit=d ship New York passed here yesteraay ¢nroute to Vera Cruz.

These floats had been con- | tributed by the Equal Franchise leagues of New Canaan, New Haven, Greenwich, Ridgefield, Westport, South Manchester and Hartford, and the Woman's Suffrage party of Strat- ford, and the Political Equality club of Meriden.
