BALTIMORE, May There are in
lications today that the general confer
jnce of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
iov in session, will not elect as many
lew bishops as had been expected. It
las been thought the number elected
Vould be eight, but it now seems certain
Jiat the committee having the matter in
iharge will recommend that the total
lumber of bishops be made less than it
las been hitherto, but there is no re
luctlon In the foreign field. This does
lot mean that there will be no bishop?
ilected for service in the United States.
ut simply that the number elected will
jot be as great as had been anticipated.
Economy is said to be the actuating idea.
A favorable report from the committee
in revision on the proposition to drop
lasting ae one of the requirements of
:he candidates for ordination to th,e mfti
S try was defeated today by 340 to 280.
To the committee .on .temperance, was
lent without discussion a resolution call
us upon every member of the M. E.
jommunfon to give financial and moral
mpport to the Anti-Saloon League in its
irork and warfare against the -liquor
3afnc in this country.
A memorial relating to the revision of
the psalter and index to the hymnal was
ejected by the conference on the rec
mmend;itlon of tho committee on re
vision that no charge be attempted at
the present time.
A controversy of long standing was
lettled by the unanimous adoption of a
report from the committee on boun
laries providing that the general con
lerence clothe itself with power to
jhange the boundaries of any annual
jonference, regardless of whether such
conference is enlarged or diminished by
inch change.
The committee on Intineracy is'request
sl to report unfavorably on the proposfl
:ion to change from unlimited to lim
ited rfwtrate.
A report to this effect will probably
Etc laid before the conference tomorrow.

Koosevelt Answers Critics.'
Mr. Roosevelt himself, answering the
jriticiem that of Governor Folk, of Mis
louri of the declaration, aroused the
conference to its warmest demonstration
)f approval. He swept aside the "aca
!emtc question" of where the line . of
uithority should be drawn between the
itates and the Xation. He wanted ac-
Jon, and what he said received indorse
ment at each period. It was this:
JuRt a word of what has been called the
MwlliKht land" between the powers of the
Vderal and state government. My primary
lim in the legislation that I have advo
iated for the regulation of the great cor
twrations has been to provide some effective
jopular sovere-iRn vfor eacn corporation. I
!o not wish to keep this "twilight land"
ne of lare and vague boundaries, by
hiilicla decision that tn a given case the
ft ate cannot art. and then a few vears
inter by other decisions that in practically
lim.ilar eases the Nation cannot act either.
am trying to find out where one or the
st her can act. so there snail always be
some sovereign power that on behalf of the
people con hold every biff corporation, every
sifT individual, to accountability, so that
Its or his acts shall he beneficial to the peo
ple a a whole, in matters that relate only
io the people within the state, of course
the state is to be sovereign and tt Bhould
fiave the power, to act. If the matter -is
such that the state itself cannot act, then
f wish on behalf of all the states that the
National Government should net.
Take such a matter as c-iarging a rent
for water rower. My position that simply
i here a provision that may he" of untold
value in the future to the individual or
fc-rnntoe is asked from the r ederal Govern
ment, then the Federal Government should
put into the grant a condition that it. shall
n-t he a grant In perpetuity. If there is
necessity for the gram.' then there must be
,Miver to attach conditions to the grant.
Make it long enough so that the corporation
thflll have an ample material reward. The
rrporution de-serves It. Gn o an ample re
gard to the captain of industry, but not an
ndeterminable and indefinite reward. Put
in a provision that will enable the next
generation, that will enable our children at
the end of a certain specified period, to say
iv hat. In their judgment, should be done
with that great natural power which is of
use to the grantee only because the people
bs a whole allow him to use it. It is emi
nently right that he should be allowed to
make ample profit from his development of
H. but make him pay something for the
privilege and make the grant for ; a fixed
terind. no that when the conditions change,
as in all probability they will change, our
rhlldren. the Nation of the future, shall
nave the ripht to determine the conditions
upon which that privilege shall b enjoyed.
In these cases the state hfts not acted or
rnnmu act, therefore I hold the' Nation
should act. Where trie policy I advocate
i-au he carried out best by the state, let it
l-e carried out by the. state, when it can
be parried out best by the Nation, let It be
t arried out by the Nation. My concern is
not with the academic sJe of the question;
I vIchI with the matter from the standpoint
:f true popular interest and therefore my
iesire ie to employ indifferently either the
principle of the states' rights or the prin
. iple of the National sovereignty, which
ever in a given case will best conserve the
needs of the people.
Declaration tf Principles.
The declaration upon which the
President" remarks were predicated
was presei.ted to the conference by
Governor lllanchard, of Louisiana, at
the opening oi the session shortly
after 10 o'clock. After reading it Mr.
HJanehard stated that it proceeded
upon broad lines and purposely avoid
ed making specific indorsements of de
sired projects or legislation. It fol
lows: We. the Governors of the states and terri
tories of the Tnited States of America. Jn
conference assembled, do hereby declare the
conviction that the great prosperity of our
country rests upon the abunnant resources
of the land chosen by our forefathers for
their home and where they laid the foun
dation of this great Nation.
We look upon these resources as a her
itage to be made use of in establishing and
promoting the comfort. prosperity and
happiness of the American people, but not
to be wasud, deteriorated or needlessly de
stroyed. .Ww agree that our country's ' future is
involved-in this and that the great natural
reVmrces supply the material basis upon
which "our civilization must continue to de
pend and upon which the perpetuity 'of the
Nation Itself rests.
We agree, in the light of facts brought
to our knowledge and from knowledge
brought from sources which we cannot
douhu' that this material basis Is 'threat
ened "with" exhaustion. Even as each suc
ceeding generation in the birth of the Na
tion has performed its part in promoting
thet progress and development of the Re
public, so we do in this generation recog
nize it. as a high duty to perform our part,
and this duty, in large degree, is the adop
tion of measures for the conservation of the
natural wealth of the country.
What Natural Resources include.
We declare our firm conviction that this
conservation of our natural resources is a
subject of transcendent importance, which
should engage unremittingly, the attention
of the Nation and states and the people in
earnest co-operation. These natural re
sources incJude .the land on which we live
and which yields our food; the living waters
which fertilize the soil, supply power and
form great avenues of commerce; the for
ests which yield the materials for our
homes, prevent erosion of the soil and coti"
serve the navigation and other uses of our
streams; and the minerals, wnicta. form the
basis .of our industrial life and supply us
with heat, light and power.
We agree that the land should be so used
that erosion and soil wasn should cease,
that there should be reclamation of arid
and semi-arid regions by mrans of irriga
tion, and of swamp and overflowed regions
by means of drainage; tt:at the waters
should be so conserved and used as to
promote navigation to enable , the arid
regions to be reclaimed by irrigation and to
develop power in the interests of the peo
ple; that the forests which regulate our
rivers, support our industries and promote
the productivity of the soil should be pre
served and perpetuated : that the mineral
found so abundantly beneath the surface
should be used as to prolong their utility;
that the beauty, healthfulness and habita
billty of our country should be preserved
and increased; that the sources of National
wealth exist for the benefit- of all the peo
ple, and that the monopoly thereof should
not be tolerated.
Commend the President.
We commend the wise forethought of the
President in sounding the note of warn
ing as to the waste and exhaustion of the
natural resources of the country, and sig
nify our appreciation of his action in calling
this conference to consider the same and to
seek remedies therefor through co-operation
of the Nation and the states;
We agree that this co-operation should
find expression in suitable notion by the
Congress within the limits of and co-extensive
withthe Nationa. Jurisdiction of
the subject and complimentary thereto, by
the legislatures of the several states with
in the Jimits of and co-extensive with their
Jurisdiction.
We declare the conviction that in the
use-of the natural resources our independent
states are Interdependent and' bound to
gether by ties of mutual benefits, responsi
bilities and duties.
We agree in the wisdom of future con
ferences between the President, members
ofCongress and the Governors of the states
regarding the "conservation or" our natural
resources with the view to continued , co
operation and action on the lines suggested.
And! to this end we advise that from time
to time as in his judgment may seem wise
the, President call the Governors of the
states, members of Congress and others into
conference.
We agree that further action is advisable
and to ascertain the present condition of
our" natural resources and to promote the
conservation of the same. And to that end
we recommend the appointment by each
state of a CommisHon on the Conservation
of Natural , Resources, to co-operate with
each other and with any sinllar commis
sion on behalf of the Federal Qovernment.
Conserve Forest Supplies.
, We urge the continuation and extension
of forest policies adapted to secure ' the
husbanding and renewal of our diminishing
timber supply, the prevention of soil erosion,
the protection of headwaters ajid the main
tenance of the purity and navigability of
our streams. We recognize that the private
ownership of forest land iend responsi
bilities to the interest of all the people and
we favor the enactment of laws looking to
the protection and replacement of privately
Owned forests.
We recognize in our waters a most valu
able asset of the people of the Inlted States
and we recommend the enactments of laws
looking to the conservation of water re
sources for Irrigation, water supply, power
and navigation, to the end that navigable
and source streams may be brought under
complete control and fully utilized .for
every purpose, we especially urge upon the
Federal Congress the immediate adoption of
m wise, active and thorough waterways
policy,- providing -for- the prompt improve
ment " of our streams and conservation of
their watersheds required: for the uses of
.commerce and the protection of the inter-
W We recommend the enactment of laws
looking 'to the prevention of waste in the
mining and extraction of coal, oil, gas and
other minerals with a view to their wise
conservation of the use of the people and
to the protection of human life in the
mines. ,
Iet us conserve the foundations of our
prosperity.
It was upon the suggestion of Gov
ernor Glenn,, of North Carolina, that
further conferences should depend
upon the expressed desires of two
thirds of the Governors, that Governor
Folk made the criticism which called
forth the President's , remarks quoted
above.
That there was nothing in the dec
laration which had been adopted to
prevent the Governors from an inde
pendent organization was the view of
Governor Davidson, of Wisconsin, who
spoke briefly to that point. It was
much better, he said, to have the Presi
dent left independent of any organiza
tion of the Governors and to', have a
Governors' organization independent vof
the Legislature. .
What a President Slight Do
Mr. Folk said he supported Mr.
Glenn's suggestion because of his ob
jection to taking any action which
might hereafter form a precedent." He
expressed the highest regard for the
office of tiie President of the United
States- and a high personal regard for
its present occupant. However, he said,
the present occupant "cannot always
be President." (Laughter.)
Mr. Roosevelt, before putting the
declaration to a vote, said he thought
that any , President needed only the
Information that a conference of Gov
ernors would be agreeable to the Gov
ernors as an inspiration to call one.
Regret Cleveland's Illness.
The following resolution offered by
"William J. Bryan was adopted by ac
clamation: "Resolved. That this conference ex
presses its deep regret th.t ex-President
Cleveland is prevented by sick
ness from participating in this historic
meeting, and expresses its sincere wish
for his speedy recovery."
It was at the President's suggestion
that the resolution was adopted by ac
clamation. After provision for The printing of
the prepared papers had been made,
Mr. Blanchard moved that the conven
tion adjourn sine d;e, but before put
ting the motion Mr. Roosevelt, said he
wished to exter.d his thanks to those
who had attended the 'conference- He
said;
The White House has helT many distin
guish ed gatherings in its day. but I do not
believe it has ever held as distinguished a
gathering as this composed of Governors
and the representatives of executives of
a!l the states of the Union. I thank you
for coming and I can assure you that at
least no body of guests has ever been more
welcome than you have been to" the White
House.
The President then declared the con
ference adjourned sine die.
Mrs. Roosevelt Entertains.
The desire of Mrs. Roosevelt to en
tertain the Governors was not thwart
ed, even by the rain which fell nearly
throughout the day. A garden -party
had been planned by her to be held in
the south grounds of the White House
during the iate afternoon. The garden
party was brought inside the White
House and lost none of its rest by the
transformation. More than loOO guests
were nresent.
Afternoon and evening trains from
Washington took many of the distin
guished guests from the city, and the
first conference of the Nation on the
conservation of its natural resources
passed into history.

wait till you need something violent.
It should be gentle and natural. One
can't take harsh physic persistently
without infinite harm.
People who must take laxatives regu
larly should take nothing but Cas
carets. .
Salts and pill cathartics irritate the
bowels until the lining grows cal
loused. Then one needs larger doses. .
They irritate the stomach, too. ' Their
constant use always leads to dys
pepsia. Cascarets are gentle. Their regular
use is never injurious.

An Army Officer's Report
"For some time past I have been
troubled with dandruff, and with hair
falling out. My head Itched contin
ually while my hair appeared luster
less and dead. I tried several reme
dies withcut any permanent relief
and had about reconciled myself to
premature baldness. After using a
bottle of your Herpicide, I have been
greatly benefited.- The hair has
stopped falling out. and the itching
has ceased and no more dandruff
forms in the scalp. My hair Is com
ing in thick and has a tine glossy
appearance.

A '"Square Deal" Doctor
"I beg to state that I have used
the bottle of Herpicide that your
representative left me and am thor
oughly pleased with it. I have since
bought two or three bottles for my
self and other members of my fam
ily and have had the very best of re
sults. I am now prescribing it freely
to my patients with full confidence
in the result- to be obtained. I rarely
ever give a testimonial for an adver
tised remedy, but yours is of such
merit . that it is - only fair that I
shouH do go in this case."
