against the protest of Councilman Olson.
Mr. uison conducts a grocery store and he
viewed the amendment to the trA
with considerable alarm. ,
Why, I couldn't .sell a melon to a man
outside my store under this amendment.
I suppose if the" melon was 'on the side

heart of Youth Who Objected
to His Profession.
BOSTON, Feb 8 -John L. Sullivan, the
former heavyweight champion fighter of the
world, waa married yesterday to the sweet
heart of hie school days. Miss Catherine
Harklns, a wealthy real estate holder of
Sharon. The wedding took place at the
home of the bride's sister, Miss Mary Ha;
kins, in Roxbury. The couple will sail to
morrow on the steamship Ivernla for Eng

first wife a year ago.
Miss Harklns and Sullivan were school
mates together in Boston and became at
tached to each other, but . when Sullivan
took up a pugilistic career againBt her
wishes the frienduhlp was broken.
A few years ago, when the former cham
pion was threatened with blindness, the
sympathy of his old friend was aroused
and she Is said to have nursed him back
to health. Securing a divorce from hla first
wife, Sullivan renewed his friendship with
Miss Harklns, which culminated In their

PINCHOT OS PROPOSED LAWS
Head of Conservation Association Be-
views Pending; Legislation.
WEAK SPOTS POINTED OUT
Nelson's Bill, lie aya, Khoald Have
Unqualified Support Coal Bill
Correct In Principle, not
Needs Amendment.
WASHINQTON. Feb. 8. The necessity
for the present session of congress of good
laws for the protection of the natural re
sources of the United States Is the keynote
of a report Just made to the National Con
servation association by Glfford Plnchot,
the recently chosen president of the asso
ciation. Mr. Flnchot takes up In what he
calls "a spirit of constructive crltlclgm" the
nine bills relating to the conservation of
natural resources Introduced Into congress
on January IS on behalf of the secretary of
the Interior, one of which has been reported
from the senate public lands committee,
while the other eight are still in the hands
of the comlttee.
Mr. Plnchot calls upon the members of the
association to put forth strong efforts to
have enacted into' law the bill on the with
drawal of public lands, which has been re
ported from the committee by Senator Nel
son after It had been amended as a result
In part, at least, of conferences between
the committee and officers of the conserva
tion association. This bill, Mr. Plnchot
thinks, should have the "unqualified aup-'
port of the members of the association."
Of the other eight bills, he believes that
some merely require amendment, while
others must be recast altogether.
Bills Sound In Principle.
The coal bill and the phosphate, oil, as
phaltum and natural gas bill, he reports
aro fundamentally sound In principle, but
need some amendment. They 1 wisely sep
arate, he says, the. surface of the land
from the underlying minerals and provide
for the disposal of the minerals by lease
and not by sale.
"But the coal bill," he objects, "contains
no sufficient antl-monopoiy clause. The
clause which proposes to regulate rates to
be charged the public Is so framed that It
may be evaded with care."
Another clause of the bill, he adds, "may
reduce the standard of mining to the waste
ful level of the prevailing commercial
practice."
Railroads aad Foreats.
In regard to the bill for the survey of
railroad land grants, he expresses the opin
ion that It will enable the railroads prop
erly to perfect Wiles to their lands, "but It
overlooks the long pending understanding
between certain of the roads and the forest
service for the return of railroad lands
within the national forests of the United
Statea In return for the right to cut in one
body an amount of timber equal to that
on the lands returned."
This understanding he says requires only
legislation to make It effective.
Speaking of the water power bill, Mr.
Plnchot declared, "It repeals in silence the
existing water power law, and curtails the
already ample power now exercised, with
the approval of a former attorney general,
by the Department of Agriculture.
The provision in the bill for the compen
sation to the government by the companies,
he holds Is good. Water power sites should
be protected from private appropriation
under the land laws, he says, and it ahould
be made possible to Issue to the companies
permits terminating at the end of fifty
years.
Loophole la Reclamation Bill.
The fault found by Mr. Plnchot with the
reclamation bill Is that it opens reclaimed
lands to absentee landlords and to specula
tors. The worst feature of the bill for the sale
of timber and timber lands, he declars Is
that it replaces the objectionable feature
of the timber and stone act, which waa the
inducement to speculation In government
timber, with provisions which promote
speculation and retard the development or
agricultural and mineral lands far beyond
the act It repeals.
In failing to separate the surface from
the underlying minerals, the bill for the
classification of public lands Is Incon
sistent with the coal bill, he finds.
"Tha withdrawal bill as amended and
reported by Senator NejHon makes easy,"
