GEOLOGIST NEWELL SPEAKS
Kaplaraa BrassHs of Water Supply on
Pwrsert Ressrva at Denver
arV4iNaf.
DENVER. Ana1; 38. At todays aeaslens
of the American Forsatry association a
number of papers were road and driouss'td.
"Tha Hydrography of .Colorado" waa tha
aubject ef a paper by A. L. Fellow of Den
ver. They said that the' work of tha divi
sion had demonstrated that the flow of tha
stream of the arid regiooa, taking the year
through', would furnish more than enough
water for practical use.
A paper by F. H. Newell, hydrographer
of the geological survey, explained the ben
efits to the water supply of the forest re
serves. He said:
Full development of the resources of the
United States, ttsneclallv In the arid west,
rests upon a complete utilization ot thy
wuter for Irrigation, power and municipal
as well as domestic supply. The conserva
tion of the waters and tho protection from
pollution, both natural and artlttclul, rests
largely upon the proper treatment ot the
forests nt the headwaters of the streams.
There can be no question ua tci the bene
llclal lntluence of these forests, although
the extent of the Influence mav.be and still
la open to Investigation nnd discussion.
The torests, with tho accumulation of vege
tation upon the cround. serve to break the
force of the rain and regulate the run-oft;
excessive soli erosion Is to a large extent
prevented and the waters drained from the
forests are as a rule tree from, suspended
.mineral matter. ... ,
The government has set nbout the protec
tion ot 'the forests upon the headwater
streams of the west and consress has under
consideration legislation tending to promote
the construction of lurge reservoirs within
or adjacent to the forest reserves. There
are to be found upon the headwaters of the
streams many valleys whose outlets can be
closed by u dam of moderate height, hold
ing buck the water from melting snow or
from occasional streams. These natural
reservoir sites nro being surveyed and their
capacity and cost ascertained. The amount
of water available by storage Is also being
measured and facts recordeo so as to make
It possible to know dctlnltelv the bcnetlts
to be derived from the construction of these
hydraulic works.
One of the sources of anxiety and uncer
tainty In regard to these reservoirs Is the
matter of silt or sediment. The Hood
waters roll along sand, gravel and even
boulders. denosltlnR them wherever the
current Is checked. These floods, entering
the artificial reservoirs, are brought to a
halt and quickly .lay down their load, form
ing a coating .or layer ot mud In tho reser
voir, tending to diminish the storage ca
pacity. If1 the witter comes frpm forest
slopes, where the soil Is proteoteil and held
by roots, the amount of sediment may be
negligible, but.lt, on, the other hand, these
forests ure cut away, the .underbrush and
humus burned, the driving storms soon at
tack and move the. 16ose earth and dis
integrated rock, starting It on Its Journey
down the slopes to be Anally caught In the
.reservoir below. Thus It haooens that tt la
nt first Importance. for the prolonged life of
the. reservoir that 'every care should bo
taken to perpetuate the forest cover upon
the catchment area, wherever thla can as
Mat In holding the soil.
Prof. R. in Forbes of -Tucson. Aria., read
a paper on "The Open Range and the Irri
gation Fanner," In wbjoh he related some
ot the bad effects upon cattle and agricul
tural Industries of over-stocking the ranges
and suggested remedial legislation.
In a paper on "The Reclamation of the
,Arld Region" R. L. Fulton of Reno, Nev.,
declared the Idea that this would add to
the burdens of the eastern farmer was fal
lacious. On the contrary, he said, It would
give blm additional markets.
' S. J. Holslngcr ot Phoenix, Arlx., dis
cussed' "The Boundary Line Between tho
Forests and the Desert." He explained tho
value ot the dwarfed shrubbery ot the foot
hills In the conservation of the water sup
ply. George H. Maxwell ot Chicago mado a
strong argument against the destruction of
forests, which he declared had made deserts
of originally fertile lands In the old world.
Mr. Maxwell sounded a note of warning,
condemning as "fatally, criminally and
wickedly blind" the Indifference with which
we were watching the gradual destruction
of our forests. In picturing graphically the
results of deforestation In the east, Mr.
Maxwell said: "Famine stalks through
India, because of deforestation, floods de
vastate China for the same reason. Look
at Northern Africa, Persia, nt Mesopotamia,
at Transcaspla and heed their warning;
once fertile and fruitful, now arid, unin
habitable wastes; they stand as a warning
which we should heed. Will we do so, or
will we go on wasting millions while wo
watch our forest areas gradually de
stroyed." Mr. Maxwell made a strong plea for the
appropriation of adequate moneys to es
tablish a thoroughly competent patrol for
the protection of the forests against fires.
Concluding his remarks, ho said: "I was
asked to speak on 'Irrigation and the. For
est.' I have done so, although I havo not
mantloaaS the word 'Irrigation.' The for
ests ara tee source at all irrigation. We
cannot Irrigate without vatar. We. cannot,
har amtar wit&vut rorasta. it we aa not
preserve ta w will have no Irrlgatlaa."

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-Mrs. Car le Nation

a statement he was alleged to have made to
tho effect that he would "throw her In the
sower." Sullivan sent down word that he
was III, but made an appointment to meet
her next Monday. She then went to see
Archbishop Corrtgan, but he was out of
town.
When Mrs. Nation entered police head
quarters sho was shown at onco to Commis
sioner Murphy's room. In opening her In
terview with tho commissioner she said she
had called on him for an account of his
stewardship and asked If he did not think
New York was an awful wicked place. The
commissioner replied In the negative, and
Mrs. Nation repeated the question as an as
sertion, whereupon Mr. Murphy requested
her to go, stating that ho would not discuss
tho matter with her. She continued to ply
tho commissioner with questions, all of
which ho refused to answer. Mrs. Nation
said she had come here to do the city some
good.
Cnnicrattilaten llrr llnahnnd.
"You don't know what you are talking
about," said Commissioner Murphy. "Go
back to Kansas and stay there. If you want
to do something why don't you do It for
your husband?"
"I have no husband how," said Mrs. Na
llon. "I suppose you know all about that
matter."
"Oh, yes," said Commissioner Murphy,
"I congratulate Mr. Nation. He ought to be
a happy man now."
"Why don't you want to discuss Sunday
saloons?" asked Mrs. Nation, and the com
missioner roplled angrily: "Because I don't
want to. I won't sit hero and be lectured."
"What, do you mean to say that yon won't
discuss good moralr In New Tork? Don't
you wasH to talk about tha closla'f tip of
these hell holes and murder shops T Co you
think' I' am eraxy?"
"Tea, 1 do," responded Murphy'.
Mrs'. Na'tlon than addressed Mr. Murphy aa
"Father," which 1m the commissioner
warmly resented. But the Kansas reformer
persisted.
"Father, don't you think a little 'hatcheta
tlon1 would be good for Now York?"
"If you violate tne laws, I'll hare you
locked up," responded Murphy.
Commissioner Murphy finally terminated
tho Interview by beckoning to his secretary,
who escorted Mrs. Nation from the1 room.
Before leaving town Mrs. Nation said she
would return Sunday and visit tho "Tender
loin" and "boo everything that was open."

AK-SAR-BEN WORK BOOMS
Milit7 Encampment Will Add to Etreijth
f DajUght Parada.
REGULAR SOLDIERS MAY TAKE PART
llonrd of Governors In Consaltntlon
with General Hates Relative to
Appearaace Of Federal Troops
and Itrstlmental Band.
. The parade committee ot the Knights ot
Ak-Sar-Bcn Is moving to the front this
week and will occupy the center of the stage
as soon as tho Initiations end Monday night.
The prospects for one of the largest and
most brilliant displays In the daylight pa
rade of Wednesday, September 18, are ex
ceedingly bright, a change brought about
by the action of the military board In fixing
the place of tho encampment at Fort
Omaha. It Is an open secret that had the
state troops not been ordered to this city
during the festivities there would have been
no attempt mado to hold a day parado and
the efforts of the committee would have
been centered upon the night pageant, but
now that has been almost completed and tbe
committee will begin active preparations
for the day parade.
This work Is still In Its Inception, but
there remains sufficient time to havo all
societies taking part make the necessary
preparation. It has been suggested that
the committee offer a number of prizes for
the best drilled degree teams of fraternal
societies taking part In the parade and this
suggestion will probably be adopted. There
aro a number of lodges In tho city whoso
teams have taken high places In the con
tests held within tho order at state and na
tional reunions and a competition between
them would be ot considerable Interest,
nesrnlnra Mar Take Part.
Yesterday an application was mado to
General Bates for permission to have the
federal troops at Fort Crook take part In
tho day parade, In which undoubtedly the
state troops, including Infantry, cavalry
and one battery, will take part. The gen
eral did not glvo n final answer, but seemed
to favor the plan It certain details can be
arranged. It Is believed that the board ot
governors will havo no troublo In meeting
the requirements and the presence of the
federal troops with the regimental band of
the Tenth infantry la looked upon aa aa
fared1. !teay night at tie den will tte dkUfe'Uy
aa bra aha light, the etfcnfa of' the hustflcg
committee has) teta centered upon these
who ate desirable numbers and It la ex
pected that a larger number ef Omaha men
will be Initiated than at any time atriee ths
establishment of the order. This will be
the last night for Initiation and those who
fall to get In at that time will forever
lose the opportunity of enjoying the experi
ence felt by a knight of AH-Sar-Ben VII.
Work on the floats it moving rapidly1 and
it Is said that there never was a better dis
play conceived for such an occasion. The
theme Is said to be original arid of a kind
which can be adequately Illustrated In a
street pageant, with variety enough In tho
floats to maintain tho Interest from start to
finish.
NO QUESTI0N0F SUICIDE
Post Mortem Shows that William E.
Catshall Took Corrosive
Folson.
William E. Cutshall, the young Omaha
man found Tuesday evening in an uncon
scious and dying state under a bridge at
Grable. la., on the Illlnol. Cnnrml
took bis own life. The post-mortem exam
ination neia yesterday morning at Lunkley'a
morgue, Council Bluffs, on the remains ct
the young man bv Coroner Trnvnnr and
City Physician Jennings of Council Bluffs,
showed evidence that young Cutshall's death
was the result of suicide. The stomach and
oesophagus presented unmistakable evidence
or some corrosive poison, and the physic
ians concluded that death had resulted from
this cause. Tho evidence of the poison was
SO apparent that Dr. Trnvnnr ilM nnt ,1rm
It necessary to have any analysis made to
determine the exact nature ot the poison
taken.
Thn onlv relatlvn nrnr at (). nr.it.
mortem was a brotber-ln-law. He sa d
that young Cutshall had always heen nt a
peculiar temperament and had been a
source of considerable worry to his mother.
He was retiring and diffident and this, with
his lack of self-assertlveness, made It dif
ficult ror him to obtain employment and
thus assist his mother, who possesses but
moderate means. This Is believed to have
preyed upon his mind and may have possi
bly been the Incentive that caused him to
take his life.
Youth of Good Habits.
Young Cutshall was a youth ot good hab
its and had attended Bellevue college for
a year. He was anxious to re-enter the
college this fall and to help pay his way
had expected to secure employment In Hay
den Bros.' store. When he left home Men-
day morning It was with the Intention ot
going to that store. The position bad bcon
kept open for him, but he did not appear to
take tt.
The watch which he pawned was a gift
from bis mother, and this Is believed by hit
family to Indicate that he was not In his
right mind. But a short time ago the sub
ject of pawning property was brought up
at his homo and It Is recalled that ho told
his mother he never would do anything
like that, much less pawn the watch which
she had given him.
Young Cutshall was of a studious turn of
mind nnd a voracious reader of historical
novels, which worked on his Imagination to
iuch a, degree that he believed be would
one day write such a work.
The tuneral will be this morning at 9:30
o'clock from the First Methodist church,
Omaha, and burial will be In Forest Lawn
cemetery. In order that the body may be
brought across the river before the In
quest, which will be this morning, Coroner
Troynor Impaneled the Jury last evening so
that the members might vlow the remains.
