The American Forestry association will urge the next congrass to appro- priate $10,000,000 for use the rate of $2.000,000 ~ year to continue the pur- chase of land in the Southern Appa- lacians and White Mountains as federal reserve forests. It is most important ihat the money be set aside for this purpose. It means much to the future of the whole Atlantic seaboard to hava several million acres of non-agricul- tural land, from most of which all merchantable timber has been Te- moved, held in reserve under govern- ment ownership, protected from fire and disease and perpetuated as pro- ductive forest land. All through New England and along the Southern Ap- palachians there is a very strong sen- timent in favor of continuing the pur- chase of these forest-growing lands. The present appropriations for the purchase of lands in the Southern Ap- palachians and White Mountains will cease with the fiscal year, that is on June 30, 1815. There is now available for further purchases about $1,000,000, which sum will be sufficlent to carry the work to near the end of 1915. The area approved for purchase by the na- tional forest reservaetion commission, or already acquired, is 1,186,000 acres, the average cost of which has been slightly over $5 per acre, with an ad- ditiona]l expense of approximately 60 cents per acre for appraisals, surveys, title examinations and supervision. It is estimated by officials of the forest service that wit hthe remaining one million Jdollars enough additional lands can be purchased to bring the total to more than 1,400,000 acres, with an av- erage price not exceeding $8 per acre. The secretary of agriculture in a re- port to congress in 1907 recommended the purchase of 5,000,000 acres in the Southern Appalachians and 600,000 acres in the White Mountains. The national forest reservation commission in its last report to congress strongly approves of that recommendation, in fact, adopts it as its working pro- gramme, and recommends that con- eress extend the appropriation for pur- chases through & further period of five years at the rate of two million dollars per_year. The American Forestry association for 11 years labored to secure the leg- islation embodied in the Weeks law, which permits the acquirement of these non-agricultural lands as forest reserves. It has closely watched the execution of the law under the na- tional forest reservation commission and the department of agriculture in the last five years and the results which have been accomplished demon- strate fully the wisdom of the pro- ramme which has been undertaken. [“urthermore, great good is being ac- complished in putting the purchased lands immediately under administra- tion so that they can be protected from fire and fully utilized as national for- ests. In view of the achievements accom- plished in the way of purchases and in the administration of acquired lands, the American Forestry association considers it appropriate to give funt support to the national forest reserva- tion commission In its recommendation to congress for appropriations at the rate of two million dollars per year for v further period of five years. This rogramme will be actively urged at e next session of congress. T !

JURY RETURNS $2.500 VERDICT In Suit Brought Against Jacob Gordon for Injury and Death of Arthur Desmarais—After Auto Accident at Thames Square Last August—Jury Returned Verdict in 45 Minutes—Suit Was for $10,000. Late Wednesday afternoon, after having the case in their hands for con- sideration for 45 minutes, the jury in the superior court here returned a ver- dict for $2,500 for the plaintiff in the case of C. A. Gager, Jr., administrator of the estate of Arthur Desmarais, against Jacob Gordon. The plaintiff had sued Mr. Gordon for $10,000 dam- ages in connection with an automobile accident in which the machine driven by Mr. Gordon struck and injured Ar- thur Desmarais on the 16th of last August in front of the drug store of George M. Rathbone, at the corner of West Main street and North Thames street. Desmerais, who came from Salem, Mass., subsequently died in the hospital from lockjayw. The case was on trial three days last week. When court came in on Wed- nesday morning with Judge Gardiner Greene on the bench, Attorney J. J. Desmond for the plaintiff concluded his opening_argument, which he had begun last Thursday in the half hour of court left of that day after all the evidence was in. He spoke for 37 min- utes on Wednesday morning, and was followed by Attorney C. V. James with the first argument for the defendant. He occupied 43 minutes with this, and was followed by Attorney Hadlai A. Hull in the second argument for' the defendant, occupying until adjourn- ment for noon I 3 Attorney Des- mond took up the last argument for the plaintiff after the recess and con- cluded at 2.55. Judge Greene devoted an hour and five minutes to his charge to the jury, reviewing the evidence in detail and instructing the jury as to their con- sideration of the facts produced by the evidence and to the bearing of the law in the matter. He indicated to the jury would be their first du whether it had been es: that if fair preponderance of ev that the man Desmarais had been struck by the automobile at the time and place named. Having determined this there would be the question to be con- sidered whether the driver of the ma- chine was using due and ordinary care and skill in the management of the automobile or whether he was negli- gent. In this connection he reviewed the evidence of Mr. Gordon as to what he had done in operating the machine at the time of the accident. He call- ed attention to the fact that Mr. Gor- don had testified that as he approach- ed Thames square in the automobile® he was thinking of turning westward on West Main street to go up the hill and that he reached down with his right hand to take hold of the lever to throw into low gear and just as he did so he saw two women on the crosswalk ahead of him. Without shifting gear he took his hand off the lever and put both hands on the steer- ing wheel and avoided hitting the wo- men, but he felt himself going straight ahead and thought he was going to hit the telegraph pole on the corner, But the machine missed this and smashed up into the window of the drug store. Mr. Gordon'’s testimony, the judge said, was that he did not see either Des- marais or Herbert H. Brown, the lat- ter having been pinned up against the window by the automobile. The judge also discussed the testi- mony which had been produced to show the possibility of infection with the lockjaw germ, either through dirt or through the catgut used to sew up the man's wounds, and he indicated to the jury that there might be alter- native of their deciding that the de- fendant was responsible for the in- juries of the plaintiff without his death or for the injuries with death. He al- so discussed briefly the way damages would be determined in amount if the decision were to be for the plain- ti and then put the case in their hands. The only relatise that Desmarais has is a sister living in Salem who been the one to push the case to ure damages for her brother’s death. At the time of his death he had been working in a mill and had been boarding at Norwich Town. The next case assigned for trial is that of Loreto Roma against Thames River Specialties Co.

In the senate the vote was 36 to 34; in the house, 174 to 204. a two-thirds vote is necessary, measure failed to pass in both hous but it was a great achievement on the part of the suffragists to bring the bill to a vote.

London, June 2, 215 p. m.—The British steamer Saidleh, from Alexan- dria, Egypt, for Hull, was torpedoed vesterday in the North sea. Seven members of the crew, including a stewardess, weredr owned. Forty-one survivers were landed today at Chat- ham. The Saidieh had a crew of forty- eight Greeks, a British commander, and eight passengers of different na- tionalities. The loss of life was the result of the jamming of davits while one of the boats was being lowered. The occupants of this boat were thrown into the water. Those in the other boats were pick- ed up by a trawler. They assert that no warning was given before the ves- sel was torpedoed. It sank fifteen minutes after the explosion.

S. Greene of the Nebraskan declared that he fully ap- preciated the constant hazard at- tending the voyages of the ship which he commanded. For several years Captain Greene sailed out of San Francisco around Cape Horn to Med- iterranean port. Later he visited far eastern ports and during the last few vears was a captain on the Honlulun a passenger steamer which plied be- tween Honlulu and San Francisco. In November all the steamers of the company were pressed into service to carry freight to European ports, and Captain Greene was given command of the newest, largest and fastest vessel. His last was the fifth voyage to London since his transfer and his first accident, although he has told many friends in Denver of narrow escapes from mines on previous trips.
