Many advocates of the anti-Japanese bills, who heretofore remained silent during the agitation, began to rush into print today to arouse the people of California in favor of the exclusion of the Japs. Heretofore the company has had more business than could well be handled on the old lines, but the new system will enable them to exchange with all other companies with whom agreements may be consummated. One of the first independent' com- panies to avail themselves of the advantages of exchange privileges with \ the Summerville will be the Sandy tin ion and Brady Township Telephone Company, of Clearfield County. This company is now installing what is known as the metallic circuit, and their lines win connect with the Suinmerille at a point near Jefferson Line, south of DuBois. At the recent meeting of the stockholders of the Farmers' Telephone ■Company at Marion Center, the subject of an exchange agreement w ith the Summerville company receive I much attention, and the belief Is general that the two companies are almost sure to effect a deal. The Summerville company already has exchange agreements that will give them access to at least 100,000 miles of telPphone lines, and the connections will be made as soon as the local company gets Improvements completed, which will be a few months at most. Last fall, at an opportune moment, when the material coulel be purchased most advantageously, Dr. J. A.

By this device it is possible for conversation over the same wire at the same time, without interefering vwith one another. I The adoption of the new system will enable the company 'to handle, satisfactorily, several times the amount of business of former years, while the service will, at the same time, be greatly improved. Those who have had an opportunity to test the new lines, say 'that the change insures a perfect medium of communi- cation. The Summerville Telephone Company, one of the best institutions of the kind, a rock-ribbed, independent and thoroughly up-to-date in all matters pertaining to equipment, has just concluded arrangements 'to spend about $12,000 on extensions and repairs on its lines connecting Punxsutawney, Reynoldsville, DuBois, Brookvllle and Summerville, and intermediate) towns, while negotiations are now culminating that will give their patrons access to Pittsburg, Butler, Kittanning, New Castle and all towns in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. MEIT FOR A HEW By United Pres. WASHINGTON, I>. C., Jan. 22. "It i.s high time to realize that our responsibility to the coming millions is like that of parents to their children, and that, ih wasting our resources we are wronging our descendants." In forceful language like this, j President Roosevelt today sent to Congress a special message upon the subject of the conservation of the country's natural resources, together with the report submitted to him by the National Conservation Commission.The report is the result of the labors performed by the Coirvmisssion since the great gathering of governors at the White House and proves conclusively that the forests, the minerals, th ' lands and the waters of the United States, are being exploited for present-day gain, and that the end of all things that go to make our country's greatness Is not only fast approaching, but is practically in Mght. The President urges that the broad plan for the development of our wat• rways recommended by the Inland Waterways Commission, be put Into effect without delay, and that the development of water power be guarded most zealously by the Federal and State governments, he commends to < 'imgress the conclusions found by the Conservation Commission relating to the protection of frests against fire and their yield of reasonable taxes; and he advocates fhe repeal of the timber and stone act and the commutation clause of the homestead Jaw. He favors the use of the grazing lands and the mineral, timber, coal, oil and gas lands under such conditions as will bes: protect the rights of the Government and posterity, and concludes by advocating concurrence between the states and the National Government in all matters pertaining to tlie protection of natural resources, urging the appropriation of at least $50,000 for the expenses of the National Conservation Commission.Incomplete, the President admits, the inventory of the country's natural resources submitted by the Commission to lie, but that, he holds, is no excuse for putting off decisive action."We cannot let. r action." he say?*, "until complete accuracy in the estimates can be reached, because before that time many of our resources will be practically As it stands, it i; an Irrefutable truth that the conservation of our resourct s is the fundamental question before this nation, and that our firs; and greatest task Is to set our house in order and begin to 11v« within our means. . "We know that our population Is now adding about one-fifth to lis numbers in ten years, and that by the middle of the present century perhaps one hundred and fifty million Americans, and by its end. many millions more, must be fed and clothed from the products of the soil. "There arc differences of opinion as to many public questions; but Un- American people stand nearly as .i ur.it for waterway development and for forest protection.

He therefore repaired to the great mosque of Muley Drls, and the imposing ceremony was witnessed by his numerous admirers. His hair, which in the course of twelve years, had attained a length of about half a yard, was duly shorn, but Ralsuli preserved a small portion of his beard. .'t is now reported that Kaisuli intends lo renounce the British protection, which \\>as formerly of such value to him. Now, however, events have permitted him to redeem his oath, as he has acquired influence with Muley Hatid, and has been appointed to succeed Abd-es-Sadek, paying tlie respectable bribe of 2,000,000 francs for the dignity.Then not only came his liberation, but he obtained the post of Governor of the Kabyles, outside Tangier. He at once thought he would be able to rid himself of his Mowing locks, but he had still powerful enmies at the court of Fez, and he had to postpone the ctjremony. Special to The Spirit. PA IMS, .Ian. i!.—Raisuli, the former brigand, now a person of considerable consequence as Governor of Tangier, was the chief actor at Fez recently in a quaint ceremony. Many years ago, when, for his misdeeds, the robber was Imprisoned by his enemy, Abdcs-Sadek, he swore o..- the holy patron of Fez that he would never cut his iliair until he had had revenge.

Phelan, former mayor «»f San Francisco, told Preslde.it Roose- velt today that without a doubt the California Legislature would postpone action on the objectionable auti-Japanese measure until the next regular session two years hence, in order to enable a "count of noses" by the State, and probably the Federal authorities.This count will be made in order to determine whether Japanese immigration Is decreasing or increasing.Phelan told the newspaper men here that the President is doing all in his power to restrict Japanese immigration.THE WEATHER WASHINGTON, D.
