Mr. Teller insisted that the predic
tions concerning the exhaustion of the
cos s,npplv aTe very far from correct.
Colorado alone, ho said, could supply the
world wuh coal for 150 or 200 years.
Mr. Smoot defended ihe service, de
claring the cost of all lectures before
various societies last year had been
only S5022. The lectures he regarded
as entirely -justified.
"Every time." ho said, "information
.e given "abovtt lengthening- the life of
a railroad tie the American people are
benefited."
Mr. Smoot took up cases cited in the
senate to show injustice to settlers who
had disposed of their land within forest
reserves, and in so doing bocame in
volved in a controversy with Senators
Clark. Carter and others,
j Mr. Smoot said tho forestry service
fire patrol system had saved $H4,000,000
worth of timber.
Senator Clark. (Wyoming) drclarod
that Mr. Smoot 'a system of estimating
fire losses was fallacious, as it. waa
based on the idea that a fire once
started would burn until extinguished
by a forester, whereas many of the fires,
fven in the reserves. ;irc stopped by seta
tiers.
Senator Flint (California) asserted
that in his state alone the louses in the
past year from forest fires would have
amounted to $20,000,000 if it had not
I been for the exertions of tho foresters.

Hamilton HutMilne, who was relieved of
his command of the battleship Kearsarge
b Admiral Sperry, Just before the fleet
k-ft Gibraltar, will be examined by a Hpc
clal medical board regarding his mental
and physical crn1ltlon. His mental state
mmg is said to be pitiable.
It was because of the great nervoue-
WmM nePB under which Captain Ilutchlns
was laboring that he was, at his '
own request, relieved of his com- 1
mand. He told Admiral Sperry that, he
did not feel willing to trunt himself on i

ONE TEAR 11 PRISON
FOR MARGARET TEAL
Well-Known Woman of Now
York Who Figured in Gould
Scandal Sentenced.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Mrs. Mar
garet Teal, wife of Benjamin Teal, one
of the best known theatrical managers
in this country, was today convicted
of attempted 'subornation of perjury
in the divorce case of Ileleu Kolloy
Gould ngainst J. Gould. Mrs. Teal was
sentenced to servo ouo year in the peni
tcntinry on Blackwolls Island.
As the verdict of tho jury was pro
nounced, Mrs. Teal sank to her kuoes
and wns lifted to n chair by attend
ant?. She then buriod her face in her
muff. Ono of tho jurors was weeping
as the verdict was rendered and the
sentence imposed. All tho jurors signed
a recommendation for clomoncy.
Judge Foster, in sentencing Mrs.
Teal, said ho would not add to her
suffering by referring to hev record,
with which ho said the district attor
noy had acquainted him. Tho judge
said that ho had been greatly impressed
bv the touching bearing ot Mr. Teal,
who had sat beside his wife through
out tho trial. Counsel for Mrs. Teal
said he would apply for a certificate
of roasonablo doubt and endeavor to
obtain her freedom on bail.
"This has been the niistnko oV a
garrulous woman and lacks the inter
est that usually appears in cases of
this kind." said the counsel.
Mrs. Tenl was indicted last 3'oar
jointly with Mrs. Julia Fleming (or
Julia McCabo) and Harry S. Mous
ley, a private detective. Thoy were
charged with attempting by offers of
money to induce Mabel McCnusHn, a
milliner's apprentice, to givo fnfao evi
dence against Frank Uould in the
divorce case.
Mrs. Fleming and Mouslcy turned
state's evidence. A pathetic featuro
of Mrs. Teal's case is that she is tho
mother of a child but sixteen months
old.
STEPHENSON IKffiG
CLAIM Of ELECTION
Fad That Ho Received Majority
on Separate Ballot Basis of
j Contention.
MADISON, Wis., Fob. 26. Whilo tho
Wisconsin legislature continue to ballot
for United States senator in joint assom
blv dailv, the supporters of Senator Is
aac Stephenson contend that Stephenson
was elected I'nitod States senator on
separate ballot on January 26. when ho
received a majority of votes cast in
each branch of' the legislature.
Taking tho staud that Stephenson was
olected on separate ballot, h:s supporters
secured a certificate o election signed
bv Governor Davidson and countor
sfgned bv Secretary of State Jamo3 A.
Frear. arid last night United States Dis
trict Attorney W. G. Wheeler left lor
Washington with this certificate.
Tho separate ballot gave Stephenson
sixty votes in tho assembly, a clear ma
jority, and twelve of tlio seventeen
votes cast in tho senato, sixteen sena
tors being present and voting "pres
ent." Lieutenaut Governor John Strange,
who presides over the joint assembly
when a ballot for United States sqnator
is taken, he steadfastly refused from
time to timo to entertain a motion that
Stephenson was elected on separate bal:
: lot. each time ruling tho motion out ot
i order and ordering the clerk to call tho
roll.
Since the balloting m joint session
began Senator Stephenson has fnilod to
secure a majority.
Tt is not believed in tho senate that
presentation of a certificate merely cit
ing the action of tho houses of-the Wis
consin legislature in casting each a
majority vote for Senator Stephenson
would entitle him to a seat in the sen
ate without investigation. If tho gov
ernor of Wisconsin has attached his
namo to a document certifying Mr. Ste
phenson's election, it is probablo that
Mr. Stephenson will be seated' upon its
presentation.
"BILLY" SUNDAY IS

ist W. A- ("Billy") Sunday, a former

night by a man at tho Sunday taber
nacle, where. In tho presence of SOOO

While the evangelist was leaning
against the pulpit during the singing of
a hymn, his aspaJIant, who said his name
was Sherman Potts, sprang forward with
a buggy whip and struck Mr. Sunday
several terrific blows.
The evangelist leaped from the plat
form and knocked his powerful foe down.
The audience was on tho verge of a
panic, with women weeping and children
screaming while Potts and Sunday rolled
and tumbled in the aisle.
The chorister directed the choir and
the audience to sing, and in a few mo
ments calm was restored. Several men
hold Potts until policemen arrived.
Potts said he was once declared Insane
and committed to Jacksonville Insane
asylum. Ho made the attack, he said, In
