play on the words. Orchard testified
that such a name waa often used by

that a bandwriting expert will testify
at some time before the case is end-

Denver, Colo., June 21.— Presi­
dent Roosevelt has served notice on
the West, In a letter that was read at
the Public Lands convention, which
came to an end last evening after
adopting resolutions much less rad­
ical than those who bad the affair in
charge originally had intended, that
the present administration will until
Its end pursue a policy of fostering
actual homemaking and preventing
(he remaining public lands from be­
ing exploited by men and corpora­
tions and of prosecuting those who
perpetrate frauds.
The west, by reason o f the presi­
dent’s written declaration and state­
ments made In detail during the last
few days by Secretary o f the Interior
Garfield and United States Forester
Plnchot. will have a much better un­
derstanding o f the administration’s
intention with respect to a matter
that Is second In Importance to no
other now occupying public atten­
tion. The better understanding has
been Indicated already in the resolu­
tions adopted by a convention or­
ganized with intent hostile to the na­
tional administration. These resolu­
tions do not in their entirety express
what conservative representatives oi
:he public lands states declare would
be the registered sentiment of the
west Itself If unrestricted expression
thereof had been permitted In Den­
ver.

Chicago, June 20.— W ith the gen­

cial Telegraphers’ Union yesterday
approving a strike against both the
Postal and Western Union Tele­
graph companies, the eyes o f the
country are now fixed on Charles P.
Neill, United States commissioner of
labor, who Is looked upon as the last
»ource through whom peace may
come.
The strike situation reached a
most critical stage during the day.
In the hope that strife may yet be
averted, Wesley Russell, general sec­
retary o f the union, telegraphed
from Chicago to S. K. Konenkamp,
deputy president o f the National
Union, to find Commissioner Neill In
New York and ask him to use his in­

Mr. Jenkins haa b«ten stationer! since

Dodge, at present secretary of the Amer­

leaves a vacancy at Toklo, which will
probably be filler! by the transfer of
Peter Augustus Jay from the American
embassy at Constantinople.
Thia change in turn will afford an
opportunity for the State depirtment lo
