Gifford Pin fhot, ex -Chief Forester under Theo dore Roosevelt, took a place today upon the lint of possible candidates for the Republican nomination for tiovernor of New York, and Theodore Koosevqlt was asked to support his cand idacy. While the ex-President has not said anything that in any way resembles an outspoken declaration in favor of any candidate, It Is believed that he does not look unkindly upon the boom. Lr. Samuel MrCune Lindsay, ex Commissioner of Kducation of Porto Rico, and now a professor of Columbia Vniversity. is the man who launched the new boom. He had a long and confidential talk today with Colonel Roosevelt and lefit with the air of a man well pleased with the turn things had taken. New York Residence Maintained. Dr. Lindsay explained that, although Mr. Pinchnt had often been absent from New York in recent years, he had 'always retained his legal residence in this city and regularly voted here. The fact that he was talked of at one time as a possible candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania was based, said J-r. 1-lndsay. on the false idea that Mr. ' Pine hot's legal residence was" at Mil- ford, Vn where he lias a country "plac e. Dr. Lindsay is a close friend of both Colonel Roosevelt and Mr: PInchot. In : common with other friends, he has I been working quietly on the Pine hot boom for some time, and first sug gested to Mr. PInchot himself the pos 'sibilitv that lie might run. No definite ivnswer, he said, was returned. Colonel Roosevelt was told today that in the opinion of Mr. Pinchot's friends, he could draw support from the same sxjurces which had given power to Gov ernor Hughes in pnst campaigns. Mr. IMnchot 1m represented us in sympathy "with the general trend of the Hughes progressive policy. j Conservation Still Hobby. Mr. IMnchot t now on his way East and on his return will have another confer ence with his old chief. Dr. Lindsay will toll him then that as Governor of this Btnte he would continue the work of con servation with which his name has be come uscjociated. It was represented that there remains a large Held for work which the Federal Government cannot undertake but which the Governor of New York, as a member of the house of Kovt'rnorH, ruuui lorwaru wun commanu ing presence. Dr. Lindsuy detlned Gifford Pinchot as an Insurgent with a difference. "Mr. PInchot,' said lie, "is an insurgen so far as conservation goes and presum ably his sy m pat hies lie with t he insurg en It on other questions; but he canno fre classed as a full fledged Insurgent. He is a 'progriifislve. Taft Not to lie Affronted. "The personal relations between Pre si dent Taft and Mr. IMnchot have alway been pleasant and they were not Inter rupted by their differences over the con duct of the Interior Department. We who favor hi candidacy do not consider tha liia, nomination could be taken as an affront to the National Administration." Among the callers at the Colonel editorial offices today were Senator ReverMge. of Indiana; C. I. Neill. Ked eral Commissioner of Labor, and Marce I.

NEW YORK SPENDS MOST Figures Show Xatlon's Metropolis Owes 4 0 Per Cent of Total and Has Greatest Per Capita In debtedness, or $157. WASHINGTON. July 29. The enorm ous sum of $1,718,000,000 is owed by the 158 cities in the country having each a population of more than 30,000. The figures show net indebtedness and are given out by the Census Bureau as a result of its 'canvas for 1908. The same authority finds that of this sum New York owes $684,000,000, or al most 40 per cent of the agrregate. This is more than seven times the amount of the net indebtedness of any one city and more than one-half of the total amount owed by the 29 largest cities in the coun try. It also is shown that of the $275,000,000 spent for improvements in the 168 cities in 1908. New York expended more than $S0.000.000 or nearly one-third the entire sum. Of the total debt increase of the year. $185,877,856, nearly one-half is credited to New York. The per capita indebtedness of New York also is much larger than that of any one city, ex ceeding $157 as comiiared with $12S for Cincinnati; $119 for Boston and $113 for Galveston, the other cities making the nearest approach. It is pointed out that a large propor tion of the New York improvement ex penditures have been for public service conveniences. The betterment of the water system, the collection of toll bridges and other self-supporting services are responsible for 37 per cent of the total net debt of the metropolis. Of the cities exceeding 300.000 popula tion, Detroit has the smallest per capita debt. $2. but Indianapolis, falling be low 300. 0U0. makes an improvement with a debt of only about $17 to the person. In the matter of the payments for Im provements in 1908 Chicago took rank next to New York, the total for the Illi nois city being $18,095,986. Philadelphia's expenditures was $14,473,184. Of the total expenditures for all the cities about one third was for improved public service and another third for over highways. BARONESS DENIES PLOT Cincinnati Husband's Interpretation of Events Is Combatted. CINCINNATI. O.. July 29. Mrs- Percy Proctor, formerly the Baroness von Kli fuss, told in court today of the court ship and pre-nuptlal negotiations by which she was won .in marriage by the 65-year-old member of the wealthy Cincinnati family. She combated her husband's story of yesterday in several points, but most of her early testimony was interpreta tive of events to which Proctor had given meanings favorable to his con tention that he had been the victim of a conspiracy between his wife and Jo seph de "Wyckoff, a solicitor, of London, England. Proctor was not in court when his wife took the stand. He entered later and returned the smile with which the witness greeted him. The suit is on an injunction obtained by Proctor to prevent the transfer of $40.0i'ii in etock given as collateral on a promissory note, as provided in the mar riage contract. Mrs. Proctor acknowl edged the marriage contract with its provtpiotii' that she obtain a divorce from' her first husband, the Baron Vladimir Von Klifuss. She sraid she had started thu suit in St. Petersburg, but that the Patron's deatli removed the necessity of it. She . assorted that when Proctor gave her a nota for $40,000 in fulfillment of the marriage contract, she tried in vain to raise money on it, then appealed to him again, and lhat he turned over to her the stock in contest. ANTIPODEAN TRADE GROWS Year's Kxttorts to Countries South of Equator Increased. WASHINGTON, July 29. Export trade of the I'nited States to South America. North America and Africa during the last fiscal year Increased over the ex ports of the previous year, while (1. ports to Europe and Asia declined, ac- cording to statistic furnished by the Department of Commerce and Labor. The increase in exports to North American countries over the preceding year was 24 per cent, the increase to South American 22 per cent and to Africa 2 per cent, while to Europe the decline was about 1 per cent and to Asia and Oceania a little over 1 per cent.

The chief growth in the exports of the country, it is shown, has been with the near neighbors. To Canada the value of exports in 1910 was $216,000, 000, as against $161,500,000 in 1909; to Mexico $58,000,000, as against $49,500.- 000; to Cuba - $52,750,000, as compared with $44,000,000; to Central America $30,250,000, as against $25,125,000; to Argentina $42,750,000, as compared with $33,750,000; to Brazil $22,750,000 as against $17,500,000. BANKER WIDER CAUGHT DETECTIVES SHADOW WIFE AND ARREST FUGITIVE- IN CAFE. Embezzler of $500,000 Put in Tombs, in Default of - $25,000 Bail Money Is All Gone. NEW YORK. July 29. A frail little man with gray eyes and hollow cheeks, in whose manner and presence there was nothing to suggest that, single-handed, he had coplly lifted $500,000 in bonds and stocks from the strong box of a bank, was arrested today in a downtown res taurant, not five minutes' walk from the bank he had robbed. He was Erwin W'ider, the missing cashier of the Russo Chinese Bank. In the Court of General Sessions, his lawyer, Leon Ginsberg, said he would plead guilty, and he was com mitted to the Tombs In default of $25,000 bail. Ginsberg vainly pleaded with Judge Foster to reduce the ball, declaring Wider had not a cent of the money left. "It was all swallowed up in Wall street," he said. Almost as Wider was arrested the grand jury handed up an indictment against him, charging specifically that he 'had stolen three certificates, one of 50 shares and two others of 25 shares each of Bal timore & Ohio stock, and that he dis posed of them through the brokerage house of Dick Brothers on May 22 last. At least three other officers of the bank had access to the safety deposit box in which the bank's securities were kept, and the box itself was brought to the office of the bank, where it was kept in business hours. Brokers with whom Wider traded have said he called up from the bank to give them orders over the telephone. The arrest today was due tb the per sistence with which detectives trailed Wider's wife. She was in consultation last night with Mrs. Ginsberg, whose hus band, besides being Wider's lawyer, was also his neighbor. And thence she was traced today to the restaurant where her own husband was arrested. SALEM CHILDREN MARRY Vnable to Get License at Home, They Go to Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 29. (Spe cial.)

American Mining Congress Plans to Oppose Bottling Up Natural Resources. PROGRESS IS RETARDED Pinchot Crowd Expected to Be oft Hand to Defend Pet Idea Roose velt May Also Address Los Angeles Convention. DENVER, July 29. Charging that the conservation bills known as Senate bUls Nob. 5484 and 5486 to 5492, inclusive, in troduced at the last session of Congress, will, if adopted, seriously retard Western mining development and add to the al ready heavy burdens of mining men. Western mining men are planning a strenuous fight against these measures at the annual session of the American Mining Congress to be held in Los An geles beginning September 26. The offi cial call for this meeting was issued at the Denver headquarters today and 3000 delegates are expected to attend, repre senting the Important mining centers In the United States, Canada, Mexico and Alaska. Conservation Is Paramount. It was announced at the headquarters of tha mining congress today that the conservation policy would receive a big share of the attention of the congress and an endeavor would be made to learn the true attitude of the West on this question. A bitter fight is expected to result, as for weeks sentiment among the mining men has been actively form ing in opposition to what are termed the Taft-Wlckersham-Nelson policies con cerning the development of water powers and disposition of mineral lands. The leaders expected to speak against the measures are Senators Borah and Heyburn, of Idaho, Senator Perkins, of California, and Congressman Bartlett, of Nevada. Ex-Chief Forester to Talk. The most energetic advocates of the Roosevelt conservation policy, including Gifford PInchot, James R. Garfield, ex- -Governor Pardee, of California, and oth ers, are also expected to address the delegates. It is thought not unlikely that Mr. Roosevelt himself may yield to the pres sure that is being exerted throughout the Western States to accept the invita tion to be present and defend the policy which is causing widespread dissatisfac tion, it is asserted among all mining in terests. "There is no doubt that the mortal blow at the prime industry of the West, that is contained in the conservation bills, will be emphatically resented at the Los Angeles meeting,'" said a prominent official of the mining congress this aft ernoon. Policy Said to Retard Progress. "These bills provide in effect that the re maining coal lands shall be leased by the Federal Government, a .part only of tho proceeds t be paid to the states; and that the development of water power shall be controlled by the general Gov ernment. Added to the burdens already placed upon mining by the Forest Serv ice, the regulations concerning the loca tion -and patenting of claims, and the use of timber, etc., the policy of taking the remaining resources from the control of the states constitutes so radical a de parture from the system under which Western development has already gone forward that it will retard all Western development, and mining as the principal Western industry will suffer most heav ily." According to the programme of the congress three Denver men. General Irv ing Hale, Herbert S. Sands and Charles A. Chase, will give the report of a com mittee which is investigating the stand ardization of electrical equipment in metal mining. Colonel A. G. Brownlee, of Idaho Springs, will address the con vention as the representative of a com mittee which is investigating the effect of the National Forest Service regula tions upon mining in Colorado. James F. Callbreath, of Denver. Na tional secretary of the American Mining Congress, is now in Los Angeles prepar ing for the meeting. mm urin i-nr. -. 1- TM If!

He imme diately dodged behind the Canadian po lice officers and declined to discuss the case. "I am sworn to secrecy," he said. "I cannot answer any st your questions.' The fact that Dew sought ouf Chief McCarthy here seems to indicate that the provincial officers and not the do minion authorities will arrest Crippen if he is aboard the Montrose. Arrival at Quebec Monday. The Montrose will enter the mouth of the St. Lawrence tomorrow and should arrive here Sunday afternoon. She is due at Quebec early Monday morning. Inspector Dew and Chief McCarthy visited the local wl relets station tonight to make sure that the restrictions placed by the government on wireless communi cation with the Montrose was regarded. The police say the couple aboard the ew5el do not yet know they are under suspicion and every precaution is being taken to prevent their getting wind of the preparations to receive them. No private messages to the Montrose are received here and it is said the captain of the vessel exercises super vision over everything received. The police fear that if any of the passengers hear of the suspicion regarding the al leged Crippen the latter may learn of it and the task of identifying and arrest ing him on Sunday will be made more difficult.. Crippen to Be Surprised. By a complete surprise. Inspector Dew and the Canadian police hope to break down the self possession of the man and perhaps obtain a confession before they reach Quebec. Inspector - Drew's disinclination to discuss the case and his aversion to reporters is almost humorous. He even threatens to ba- them from boarding the Montrose. But he promised tonight to make known his plans just as soon as he deems it advisable. "I have been worried awfully by re porters," he said.

LEGAL SNARL HALTS WORK Alleged Flaw in Milwaukle Ordi nance Holds Vp Paving. MILWAUKEE. Or., July. 28. (Spe cial.) Although the contract for im proving Main street with hard-surface pavement was let several weeks ago to P. H. Klynn & Company, of Port land, for $20,000, work has not been started owing- to a flaw in the pro ceedings. The charter was amedned to allow the city to incur a debt larger than $1000, and then the Council passed an ordinance adopting the Ban croft bonding act. It is now asserted that this ordinance is not legal and that the Bancroft bonding act will have to be submitted to a vote of the people before It can be used by the property owners. . Mayor Strelb says, however, that the only effect this defect will have will It was one of these ttlf regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav ings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" tha action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness.

THE BRIDGE- New Bridge Differing in Type From Other Spans Will Save Much Time. MDRRAIMEAD 8 MINDTES OUT East 25th and Hawthorne to Third and Morri son "Walking Distance" Soon. In my previous talks on the new bridge and its effect on values out Hawthorne avenue, I showed: F"1" That the new bridge is above the bulk of river traffic. In other words, about three times as many 'vessels go through the Burnslde bridge as through the Madison bridge. Second That, with a height of 52 feet above the river, the majority of the crafts passing through would not require an open draw. Today I want to call your .attention to the fact that, being of the, "lift" type, it will scarcely ever be necessary to raise the draw wide open. . Most of the time a lift of a few feet, an operation occasioning but a mo mentary delay, will be sufficient. This saving of time is the thing that counts. HVRRAVMEAD, as well as other property served by cars crossing Madi son bridge, is going to feel the effect in a big advance in values. But as yet my opening prices will hold: 1700 to J2000 for inside lots and 12250 to 2500 for corners. Building re strictions 2500 to f3500. Improvements, as you know, consist of cement walks, sewers, paved streets, etc., etc. I only ask you to compare these lots with any other property in the city to see for yourself that they are the cheapest buy In town.
