A Minority of the Board of Directors Pro test Against the Premature Adop tlon of Reports. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 8. There was a lively session of the Board of Directors of the State Penitentiary this morning, during which the min ority, -including Legrand, Young, Cotton and Denmark, had their votes recorded as a protest against whattbey termed "snap judgment" and -prema ture adoption of the reports of Super intendent Day and the executive board of the. prison. Ballard also joined . in the protest without ask ing that his vote be recorded against the adoption of the reports. The charge of snap judgment was on the ground that the meeting this morning was intentionally called and action taken on the adoption of the reports before they (the protestors) reached the prison, bjL. those members who spent tne nlgnt m the executive build ing, and the .charge of, premature adoption was on.the ground that the board should investigate for them selves as to the accuracy and com pleteness of the reports and recom mend from personal knowledge after such investigation. The ad vocates of adoption contended there was no snap judgment, the board having waited for the absent members from the - hour when recess was taken until 9.35 o'clock before proceeding to transaction of business, and that the confidence they reposed in their (the board's) officials was ample warrant for the adoption of their reports by the board of directors. The discussion developed some un pleasantness of rather a personal character between several members. THE STATE LEGISLATURE. Democrats in Cnucus Walter E. Moore Nominated for Speaker of the House.

Matter of Forests Also Taken Up nnd Preservation of Same Urged The Regular Monthly Meeting Held Yesterday Morning. Four resolutions presented by State Geologist Holmes for consideration by the Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange relating to geodetic and forestry matters were adopted by that body at the regular meeting held yes terday, morning at 10 o'clock. The subjects treated are of little interest to the general public, and a synopsis of the same, prepared by Prof. ' Holmes and accompanying the resolutions, is as follows: Resolution "A" relates to the sur veys and examinations of our forests. This work, thus far, has been limited to the 39 National forest reserves and the territory adjacent thereto, in the Western States. The forests in the Southern States are being destroyed (by cutting and burning) so rapidly that unless some new policy is adopted throughout the country, our timber supplies will soon be a matter of the past. As a basis of any new intelligent forest policy it is necessary that the existing forests be carefully mapped and examined; and what this resolution asks for is that the forest surveys now being carried on by the government elsewhere be extended so as to include these forests in the Southern States. Resolution ',B." asks for an exten sion and enlargement of the govern ment worK of examining and measur ing the surface streams in the hill country and the underground or artesian water supplies in the low lands ; so that our water resources in both these directions in the Southern States may be determined more accur ately and rapidly. The larger portion of this work now done is carried on in the Western States. Resolution "C," relating to the pub lic roads improvement, does not pro pose that the Federal government go Into the business of road building in the Southern States. But the public road movement is making such slow progress in the South, where its need is perhaps greater than in any other portion of the country, that this reso lution in asking for an increase in the government appropriation for the investigation of road building mater ials and how they can be used to the best advantage, intends to urge upon Congress this increase in order tbat the governments bureau having this work in charge may co operate more liberally withthe officials and people in the different Southern States, in the hope that this will aid and stimu late the good roads movement. Resolution "D." The Government has already established out of the public lands in eleven different States and territories of the West, national parks and forest reserves, including something more than 70,000 square miles . The present wide spread move ment to which this resolution relates has in view the establishment by the GovernmejRLof a National Forest Re serve and Park in the southern Appa lachian mountains, including limited portions 6f southwestern Virginia, western North Carolina, eastern Ten nessee, with a portion of the mountain area in Georgia and South Carolina. It is a matter that has been carefully investigated by the best forest experts of the country, and is most heartily approved by the Secretary of Agricul ture in Washington, who will recom-' mend prompt action on the part of Congress looking to the securing of these laDds before they are all despoiled by the lumb ermen. This measure has also been approved of by all the lead ing forestry associations and the larger scientific societies of the country, and by many of the chambers of commerce in the five States more especially in- rcresieu in tne measure. The resolutions were discussed at some length by those present and upon suggestion of Prof. Holmes, copies of tne resolution as adopted were forwarded to Hon. John D. Bel lamy, Senators Pritchard and butler with a request that Senator Pritchard present copies of each to the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agri culture. These matters will also be taken up at a meeting of the Chamber of, Commerce, which will be held to morrow afternoon at the usual hour. Mr. W. B. Cooper, president of the Exchange, presided over the meeting yesterday and those in attendance were Messrs. M. J. Heyer, H. W. Malloy, Col. Walker Taylor and Col. Joak L. Cantwell, the secretary. ; Mr. H. W. Malloy, chairman of the committee on Harbor and Anchorage and upper Cape Fear river improve ment, reported progress and success ful action as to mooring dolphins in place of . the proposed anchorage basin ; also progress as to the Cape Fear improvement. The printed letter of the Secretary of War, ' covering the report of the local engineer's office-in the premises, was placed on 'Change for the benefit of members. The secretary and , treasurer was in structed to change the membership of Walker Taylor & Metts to Col. Walker Taylor." Port Paragraphs. Schooners Eva A. Dantnhower and Wanola, from Philadelphia and the West Indies, respectively, arrived aj Southport yesterday, the former with a cargo of fish scrap and the latter in ballast for a cargo of lumber.
