PcIj1 Dirpatch to The Inter Ocean. SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 14. A bill aime'l at Chief of Police Steward of Chicago, though mentioning bo names, was reported favorably by the Senate committee on municipalities today. Chief interest of Cook county politicians and those interested in legislation was centered in this measure and in the report that the suflragette bill will be reported out of the House elections committee tomorrow.

Senator Jones' resolution urging Illinois Representatives In Congress to favor the reciprocity legUlation now pending before Congress, was introduced by him in the Senate today and laid over until tomorrow. It was late In the session when the Senate committee on municipalities reported out favorably Senate bill No. 95. Introduced by Senator Denvir, providing that police and fire chiefs shall be appointed from the service. The bill makes it mandatory upon the mayor to select "as police or fire chief a man who has served at least ten years 10 these departments.

Menard Bill Mux-a I proar. The bill, which is said to be aimed at Chief of Police Steward of Chicago, caused considerable uproar In the committee meeting. Senator Madigan spoke in opposition to the bill. Senators Denvir and Waage spoke In When a vote was taken Senators Glackin. Ccrawell.

Gorman. Waage and voted favorably. Lined up against It were the votes of Senators Madigan, Lucdberg and Barr Senator Denvir criticised civilian polite chiefs when he took up the bill before tha committee "It is a fact that during one period of ninety days In Chicago twecty-nin murders occurred there. Now I don't want to blame Colonel Steward personally for this condition, but a man who had been In police department harness for ten years would have known where to go to find responsibility for such a situation as that." Senator Waage followed Senator Denvir and said in part: "There Is no question but that a decreased standard of discipline has occurred in the Chicago police department since Colonel Steward was placed in command. I am inclined to think that It occurs in nearly every city where a civilian chief is named.

"The men in uniform firmly believe they have the right to look forward toward the chief's chair at their ultimate goal. and. perhaps, that Is right." When this bill comes onto the floor of the Senate it Is said the members of the Chicago police department will send to Springfield a committee to further the progress of the bill. Senate bill No. 37.

which contains the reforms urged by the state organisation for advancement of the commission form of municipal government, was also passed out favorably. Attorney Sidney Breese of Springfield spoke In favor of the hill and Senator Logan Hay made several legal changes In the text of the measure. Saffraaretta. Bill Oat Tvdmy. In the opiotOa of Chairman Perkins of the House elections committee the suffragette bill will be reported out of committee tomorrow with the recommendation to tha It do pass.

The elections committee devoted the afternoon to a hearing on the woman's sndrage bill. "Arguments in favor of the bill were made by Mrs. Ella 8. Stewart of Chicago. Mrs.

Elvira Downey of Clinton and Miss Harriet Grim of Canton. Mrs. Stewart discussed the history of the woman's snffraga movement, telling of some of the practical results from it and of the women have the right to vote. Mrs. Downe made a plea for th? tax paying women.

Miss Grim took up the objections offered by members of the Legislature to the bill. One is that a majority of the women are not demanding equal suffrage, and that this is proof they would not use it If given to them la answer to this objection Miss Grim said: "In a school election where the question la not submitted at the time of a general lection you cannot get any more men out lean women, so this objection furnishes no good reason why we should not have suffrage." She presented statistics to show that In Colorado 72 per rent of the women population, vote at the flections, and that 90 per cent vote in Wyoming, while In Idaho and L'tah as many women vote as do men. In concluding her argument Miss Grim declared "Not an objection had been raised that could not be applied to men. Prejudice roles the whole matter and you might as well confess it."

Tbe bill appropriates $1,302,022 more than it la estimated will be received this year In revenues, the problem of paying the deficit resting with tbe incoming administration. As predicted, the aldermen gave scant consideration to the demands of the firemen for a 10 per cent salary increase.

When Alderman Fred A. Britten propoaed that their demands be granted, it was voted down by ilva voce vote. The policemen's demands for a' like Increase were not presented. every council member was convinced before entering the chamber that It would be Impossible to grant any salary increases and expect them to btf paid this year. The "slush" fund had considerable to do with the failure of any alderman to present the policemen's demands.

THREE CORPORATIONS OWN 11 PER CENT OF PRIVATE SUPPLY Estimates Value of Timber in Other Hands Than S. at $8,000,000,000 Says Laws Governing Acquirement of Land Are Inadequate. BpecUI Elapatch to-The Inter Orran.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 14.

President Taft today transmitted to both the House and Senate the first part of the long awaited report of Herbert Kcox Smith, commissioner of corporations, on the (umber Industry of the United States. Tbe report is in response to a resolution of the House passed in December. 1906. and one of the Senate dated Jannary, 1907. It presents tbe first comprehensive Invef ligation of the amount azd ownership of the standing timber of tbe country.

He say three corporations own 11 per cent of the whole private supply. Deploring a concentration of the control of standing timber among a few private interests, Commissioner Smith declares that the bulk of the timber Is being held speculatively and is "closely connected with railroad domination." His conclusion, in a forecast of tbe future, partakes of the sensational. Fawer of Caaceatratlea. "There are many great combinations In other Industries. says the commit sioner, "whose formation is complete.

In tbe lumber Industry, on the other hand, the bureau finds now in the miking a combination caused, fundamentally, by a longstanding public policy. The concentration already existing is sufficiently impreistve. Still more Impressive are the possibilities for the future. "In the last forty years concentration has to proceeded that 195 holders, many Interrelated, now have practically one-half of the privately owned timber In tbe investigation area (which contains 80 per cent of the whole). "This formidable process of concentration.

In limber and in land, certainly Involves grave future possibilities of Impregnable monopolistic conditions, wbose far reaching consequences to society It is now lfflcult to anticipate (ally or to overestimate." The commissioner-reterves for later report the subject of combinations In tbe manufacture or sale of lumber, as distinguished from ownership of standing timber. His report says: "Only forty years ago at least three-fourths of the timber now standing waa (It la estimated) publicly owned. Now about tour-fifths of it Is privately owned. Tbe great bulk of it passed from government to private bands through (a) enormous railroad, canal and wagon road grants by the federal government; (b) direct government sales in unlimited quantities at $1.25 an acre; c) certain public land laws, great tracts being assembled in spite of tbe legal requirements for small holdings. "Such laws were wholly Inappropriate to forest regions; but.

though vigorously condemned In several public reports, thai are still largely in force. In theory they were Intended to distribute toe public landa In small tracts as homes for freeholders. In fact, they actually furthered timber concentration In vaat holdings. "There Is now left In continental United States about 2.200.0O0,o00,00 board feet of privately owned standing "timber, of which 1.747.000.000.000 Is In the Investigation covered In great deal by the bureau. This area Includes the Pacific Northwest, the Southern pine region and the lake stakes and contains $0 per cent of all the private timber In the country.

In addition, there are about feet in the national foresta and about 90.000,000.000 feet on other nonprivate lands. Thus." the total amount of standing timber In continental United States Is about 2,800,000. 000.000 board, feet. Will last B4 Teara. "The present annual drain upon thesuwiry of saw timber is about SOCO.OOO.OOOfeet.

At this rate tbe timber now standing, without allowance for growth or decay, would ast only about fifty-five years. "Tbe present commercial value of the privately owned standing timber in the country, not Including the value of the land. Is estimated though such an attempt must be very rough as at least $6,000,000,000. Ultimately the consuming public will have to pay such prices for lumber as will give this timber a far greater value." Proceeding next to consider the concentration of timber ownership, Sir. Smith says: "Three vaat holdings alone, the greatest in the country those of the Southern Pacific company, tbe Weyerhaeuser Timber company and the Northern Pacific Railway company, including their subsidiary companies together have 238.000.000,000 feet, or nearly 11 per cent of all our privately owned timber.

They have 14 per cent of that la the Investigation area. With tbe five next largest tbey hsve over IS per cent of the total privately owned timber and over 1 per cent of that within the investigation Old Crime Causes Arrest of Prisoner as He Leaves Jail Just a moment's freedom.
