President Taft-anrt Gifford Pinchot, -whom the for mer j-eot'i-.tly removed from his position as hogd of tno Forestry Bureau spoke toffay from the sam platform In address ing th NationaJ Civic Federation. In .session to discuss problems of uniform state legislation. Rcprestitatives of almost every branch of human activity met at the conference to talk over ways and means to brinp about uniformity of laws relating to child labor, marriage and divorce, pure food and pure drupi, conservation of ! natural resources and laws relating to negotiable instruments, bills of lading and other subjects affecting the business and social life pf the'Natlon. President Taft spoke at the morning session and serious attention was ac corded hini throughout. His speech was a careful presentation of the needs of uniformity upon the part of the states in laws locking to an amelioration of existing conditions. Waterpower Monopoly Young. G if ford Pinchot was one of the princi pal speakers at the afternoon session. He said that subjects such as forestry preservation had been advocated by Americans for more than 100 years, but that the control of water power monopoly in 'the common interests was younger than the present century. "We have come at last to the point of action," he said, "and we must either Bo forward or fall back. iln his judgment the present situation offers' a field for further action and for co-operation between the states themselves, and between them and the Nation. As a result of the iVhite House conference a few years ago, -45 state committees, looking to the con servation of natural resources, have been appointed. Chance for Laws Now. '"The great principles we have been working for," said Mr. Pinchot, "must he written In our laws now or the chance may pass. Public sentiment is prepared and awake. For the second time a President of the United States lias Indorsed these principles in a mes sage to Congress. , Most of the recom mendations which the recent message contained are well known to friends of ronservatlon and well approved. If It lias omissions or passages with wnich t disagree, I have no concern in them I today, j "The President urges that the meas ures lie recommends be taken up and lisposed of promptly without awaiting '.he rnvestigation that has been tfeter S n hied upon. There can be no reason to i wan me result ox me- investigation 1 1 before a'tong on, these measures. They j J stand by themselves. "In the face of this great opportuni ty .v let us go further and, so far as 1 these -issues are concerned, let us dls l'iigard t?ie controversy altogether In a general effort to .secure what every ' good citizen earnestly desires. Our duty is to look beyond these, above all 4 lesser strife, in a common effort to v. l enrh objects of such transcendant im V'portance to all the people." ". Many Notables Attend. r. In addition co the President's speech i at the morning session, Seth Low, pres ident of the federation, and Judge A.1 ;jjton B. Parker, temperoray chairman of j the conference, also spoke." i With President Taft as the central figure, .there were gathered on the stage a notable group of men. Labor ,"iM represented by Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell; the law by Senator 'Itpot. Alton B. Parker and ex-Assocl-Tnte Justice Brown; business by John j-; Hays Hammond, ex-Senator John F. yllryden and others. President Low explained the purpose J' of tli meeting, pointing out that "uni ;;form legislation is equivalent in legis i lation to standardization in mechanical jjf construction." ' Federal Insurance Control Seen. 5 In urging the uniformity of state flaws regulating insurance companies, ex-United States Senator John F. Dry : dent, president of tile Prudential In surance Company, declared that if the t'avrious states failed to uniformly codi 'fiy their insurance laws the only alter native would bethe Federal control ft't the business. , . ..'phe immense amount of new leglsla "Lon and the ' enactment of new laws . -annually or biennally by the different legislative bodies is naturally the cause of much uncertainty as to what the law rwhich governs the business really is," he j . said. S "1 am firmly convinced a uniform code soverning the essentials of the law on i the subject of insurance can be framed and the past experience of every life in surance company transacting business in . the different states makes it desirable , and proper that such a code should be ; prepared. Failing in this, the only ulti mate alternative will be the supervision and control of the interstate business ofj American 'insurance companies by the , a cat . ij u u v 1 1 mucin. Low Introduces Taft. "Your presence .here, Mr. President, ,is highly appreciated by this conference because your presence indicates your ac tive sympathy with the objects of the conference." f In these words President Seth Low, of ttlio Civic Federation, welcomed Pres ident Taft. whose appearance was greet -ied with every manifestation of pleasure. ! The President, discussing the move 'ment started by the "Civic Federation for uniformity in state laws, said it was the outgrowth of a. demand to bring about better conditions in the so cial fabric.

NEW TRIAL AGAIN SOUGHT Attorneys No Sooner Learn of Re verse Than They Renew Fight on Ground One Juror Wras " Coerced by Others'. (Continued from First Page.) ' cess to the lowest depths of misery, beaten in a struggle that would have broken the heart and spirit of most younger men, and facing In his old age a term in stripes, Walsh remained the same Walsh that he was 20 year ago cold, courageous and Imperturba ble, the man who wrung from J. Pier pont Morgan the exclamation- "Walsh, the iron man of finance." t Hope Hang9 on Slender Thread. Upon one slender thread hangs Walsh's chances for another tial. Ju ror Palmer has made affidavit that he was coerced Into returning a verdict of guilty; that he did not believe Walsh guilty, but was bullied Into signing; the verdict. " The "fighting chanoe" that Mr. Walsh spoke of In his message to his wife consists ol Just two-possibilities. They are: The cnance that the Circuit Court of Appeals may grant him a new- trial on the Palmer affidavit. The chance that President Taft may step in and pardon the former banker. Lawyers say that there Is little chance of the Palmer affidavit doing anything in Mr. Walsh's favor. So ar as is known, no effort is being made to obtain a Presidential pardon. WALSH'S PKTITION IS DENIED Bank Wrecker Mutt Serve, Five Years In Prison. WASHIN6TON, Jan. J7. The petition for a writ of certiorari in the case of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago National Bank of Chicago, under sentence to serve five years' imprison ment In the Federal prison at Leaven worth, Kan., on the charge of misappro priating and misapplying the funds of the bank, was denied today by the Supreme Court of the United States. This means that Mr. Walsh must serve his sentence. The denial of John R. Walsh's peti tion for a writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court of the United States closes the last chapter in the history of his long fight for freedom. The con victed banker is now powerless to pro ceed further In his efforts to escape the prison bars, Trhich have loomed before him since his indictment three,, years ago. . The one-time bank president and railroad financier, now 72 years old, will. In a few days, be a convict In the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., where he will begin the sentence of five years imposed upon him by United States District Judge Anderson, March 3, 1908. 7 After the United States Circuit Court of Appeals had refused Walsh a re hearing and denied his petition for a stay of Judgment, bar! was withdrawn and, at the request of his counsel, the court placed him In the "special cus tody" of a United States Marshal, where he remained pending the outcome of his petition to the Supreme Court of the United States. This leniency was granted Mr. Walsh in order that he might arrange his per sonal affairs. N The Chicago National Bank, the Equitable Trust Company, the Home Savings Bank, all of Chicago, controlled by John R. Walsh, were closed in 1905, and President Wralsh, of the Chicago National, was accused of having used the funds of the institutions for- his own use. In private enterprises, wlth outsuf ficiently securing the banks. He was charged with using 116,000,000 of the banks' funds. On January 10. 1908, Mr. Walsh was found guilty of misapplying the funds pf the Chicago National -Bank, of which he was. president. On March 3 of the same year, motion for a new trial was overruled, and the aged defendant was sentenced to five gears' Imprisonment at Fort Leavenworth.

Charge He Was Coerced Sole Basis of Walsh's Hope. CHICAGO, Jan. 17. A few hours after John R. Walsh received word from Washington today that the United States Supreme Court had denied his petition for a writ of certiorari he filed a petition in the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals' asking that it direct the United. States' District Court to grant a new' trial. He charged the jurors who convicted him with misconduct. A decision on the ap peal is to be handed down, tomorrow. District' Attorney Simswcnt into court with a motion that a mandate be issued at once, transferring the aged financier to prison. ,John a. Miller, one of Mr. Wralsh's attorneys, objected on the ground that no official, notice of the Supreme Court's1 action had been re ceived. Jusl: then a messenger appeared in ine courtroom wun a telegram to Air. Sims, officially notifying him of the action of the Supreme Coirt. Mr. Sims men askea an immediate mandater order ing the carrying out of the prison sen tence. Mr. Miller demanded a stay until a certified copy of the decision should be received. The question together with the appeal for a new trialthen went over until tomorrow. . ' , The evidence alleging mfsconduct of the jurors, upon which Mr. Walh hopes -to obtain a new trial, was contained in affidavits filed by Elbert Palmer and Charles' Davey. In Palmer's affidavit he asserted, that, while acting as a juror, he was sick and signed the verdict of guilty under pressure from the other Jurors He asserted "that said Jurors continued their persecutions and that finally he gave way to his emotions and began to weep, when the juror. Brown, began to abuse affiant and applied to htm epithets and opprobrious names, such as 'big fooly 'great big baby.' 'big calf," there by greatly humiliating afflan and caus ing him to suffer great mental anguish and Increasing his? mental and physical distress. ' J. El Taggart, foreman of the jury signed an affidavit in which he said Palmer went to him after the verdict had. been sealed and asked him to unseal it and scratch off Palmer's name. He said he refused to open the verdict, telling pauner it was against the law. ' WARDEN IS READY FOR WALSH Federal Prison Authorities JUay As sign Him to Clerical Task. , LEAVENWORTH, Kan. , Jan. 17.

UMPIRE SEEKS REVENGE? Former Strike Counter Would Be Official Hangman for State. PITTSBURG, Jan. 14. A proposition to have a state hangman, whose duty It will be to personally hang every con demned man in Pennsylvania, -will be laid before the State Legislatue at its next seslon. , The first aspirant for the position is naward swartwood, for years Deputy Sheriff at Pittsburg, j who in - his day has hanged 21 men. Swartwood was onoe a famous batsman of the Pittsburg team, and later an umpire in the Na tional League.

HAWLEY . KEEPING WATCH If Move Made to Report It From Committee, He Will . Summon . Oregon Growers to Riddle It . With Adverse Facts. . OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 17.-5The Lafean apple-pack ing Din, intended to drive Oregon and other Western apples out of Eastern markets, liss dormant in the House com mittee on Agriculture, and thus far there has been no indication that it Is to be pressed for consicreratlon. The bill Is not a new one. In one form or another It has been introduced in several succes sive Congresses, but never yet has it re ceived consideration at the hands of any committee to which It has been referred. If Mr. Lafean has any Intention of urg ing its consideration this session, he has given no intimation of his purpose to the chairman of the committee on agri culture, and without request from him the committee will take no notice of his bill. The Lafean bill in Its present Shane seemingly stands no chance of passage. The- radical and revolutionary character or its requirements and the manifest ob ject sought to be attained are sufficient to guarantee a fight against it in com mittee, and it is doubtful If the bill could be reported to the House, but, should a report be made, it would only be after the bill had been materially amended, so as to remove the mor objectionable reatures. ttut more than this, it is seri ously questioned whether Coneresj; will jfeel disposed to enter upon the regula tion of the. sire and contents of packages In which .foodstuffs are shipped in Inter state -commerce. Such legislation was not attempted under the pure food law, and it is not believed to be the purpose of Congress at this late day ' to set a precedent , such as would be established by the passage of the Lafean bill. Where Bill Is Obnoxious. 1 Representative Lafean introduced his bill In the last Congress, it was referred to the committee on interstate- and for eign commerce and there died without ever being considered. In the special session last Spring he reintroduced It, and again on January K Introduced it with some changes. The latest bill, so far as the Western apple country is con cerned, is- quite as obnoxious as any of Its predecessors, for It provides that boxes in which apples are packed for shipment out ot the state in which they are grown must have a capacity of not less than 2342 cubic inches, the figure named in previous bills. But In addition to defining the capacity of apple boxes, the new bill fixes the standard capacity of apple baskets and barrels, the former to be of the same capacity as boxes, 2342 inches, and the barrels to be of the fol lowing dimensions: '"Length of stave, 284 Inches; diameter of head, 17 inches; distance between heads, 26 inches; cir cumference of bulge, 64 Inches." From the Western standpoint these di mensions for baskets and barrels will be helpful, for the standards prescribed win not meet with the approval of an Eastern- apple-shippers, for the reason that uniform sizes of baskets and bar rels are, not in general use, and there will be objection to a bill requiring a change in the manner of packing .Eastern apples. ... Grade of Apples. Fixed. When It comes to fixing tne standard grades of apples, the Lafean bill pro-" vides as- follows: .Apples of one variety, which are well Krown specimens, hand picked, of good color for the variety, normal shape, practically free from Insect and fungus Injury, bruises and other defects, except such as are neces sarily caused in the operation ot packing, or applas of one variety which are not more than 10 per centum below the forefcoins scecinca.tions. are . Ktandnril radA "TT- S- size M," if the minimum size of the apples .s two and ne-half Inches it) transverse diameter; or are standard trade "U. S. size B. " If the minimum size of the- apples Is two and one-fourth Inches In transverse, diameter; or are standard grade "U. S. size C, " if the minimum ize of the apples is two Inches In transverse diameter. , Under the terms of the bill" a box of apples will b considered misbranded, within the meaning of the pure food -law, if its contents be less than 2342 cubic inches, unless it be plainly marked on end and side with the words "short box" or with the number of cubic Inches the box contains, and baskets and barrels are dealt with similarly. Apples will also be considered misbranded if their dimensions do not conform to the label, or If the label fails to bear a statement of the name of the variety, the name of the locality where grown, and the name of the packer or the person by whose authority the apples were packed and the package marked. Size of Boxes Changed. The obnoxious feature of the bill, so far as the Western apple growers are concerned; is that fixing the standard for boxes. Mr. Lafean, for some reason, has arbitrarily chosen a box containing 3,242 cubic inches; the Winchester bushel, the recognized standard In the United States, contains -2,l5v4 cubic Inches. Therefore the Lafean box calls for 192 cubic Inches In excess of a rushel. Why such, a figure" should have been adopted is mystery to the mem bers os. the committee. Mr. Lafean has never offered any explanation, yet he apparently lsthe only man' In Congress Interested In this bill. ' . Fortunately f or the West, Represent tatlve Hawley Is a member qf the com mittee on Agriculture, before "whom the bill is pending, and he has made U a point to guard against .any report on the meure- until he and the apple growers and shippers of Oregon and other Western states can present their arguments against the obnoxious clauses. Chairman Scott of the com mittee has assured Mr. Hawley he will do- nothing with, the bill 'unless urged to do so by its author, and, if request is preferred, Mr. Hawley will be notified in time to enable Representatives of the Western apple-growers to come' to Washington and present their protests to. the committee. But until Mr. La fean demands such action. It seems un necessary far such representatives- to make the trip to Washington or to demand hearing. In MrJ Hawley's Judgment it would be inadvisable for 'the opponents of the measure to insist upon its consideration,, when its spon sor evinces no live interest in its welfare. . ' ' ' ' Hawley States Objections. 'in speaking of the bill and its pros 'pects, Mr. Hawley said: "If any attempt is made to secure a report from our committee on that measure, I shall dd'my utmost to bring .about amendments which will ade LAFEAFi quately protect the apple industry of Oregon and other Western states. The people of the West were the, first to pack apples in boxes, and after years of experiment they have, found a box standard size that just meets .the re quirements. The box in common use has a capacity , of 2.200 cubic inches, slightly more than the Winchester bushel. It Is adapted to the kinds and varieties of apples grown in our coun try, and enables the growers to ship compactly and securely, and to get their fruit to market in good condi tion. "If we of the W'est should be com pelled slightly to. increase the size of our' apple boxws, the fruit could not be handled to as good advantage; it would be -loose in the package, .and would suffer In transit. Boxes on hand would have t be destroyed and there would be a- great financial loss, for which there is no justification. Present. Box Right Size. - ''Personally, I am unable to see that there is any legitimate objection to the apple box now in comon use through out the West. Not only has it capacity in excess of the Winchester bushel, so that there can be no ground for the cry of 'short package,' byt our Western box has come to be looked upon in the markets of the United States as a guarantee of quality, and -finif ormity. Our apples are always sold "by tha box.' and not 'by the bushel. Every box Is marked with the number of an- ples contained, so that the buyer knows. in an instant, what heJ is getting. The number indicates the size of the fruit. 'I shall never voluntarily consent to a favorable - report on the Lafeau, bill unless the standard box capacity pre scribed by It is changed to conform to the standard that now prevails In the West. As a ma-tter of fact, I do not believe that any legislation is neces sary. The Western apple-growers, in their 'own Interest, have fixed standards, and the co-operative - associations through whose hands the Western ap ples are marketed guarantee the qual ity of every box of apples sold, and see to It that the standard is main tained. It is not the Western grower who needs regulation. Bill Not Being Pressed. "If, later on, any attempt is made to x induce the committee on agricultuie to consider the Lafean bill. I will notify the Oregon Horticultural Society and other Western associations that hear- ! lngs are to be had, and we will see that all who so desire are given an oppor tunity to be heard, in order to present their reasons for amending the bill or suppressing It altogether. But up to the present time there has been "no indication of a purpose to press the bill, and until sich purpose is shown it would seem unnecessary for our peo ple to come to Washington. I am in a position to keep in touch with this matter, and will be advised the minute any move is attempted. As a matter of precaution I have explained the dis advantages of this measure to the chairman of the committee and .to other members who are Interested, and I believe the commitee will be open to conviction If the. Issue ever arises." Drawn In Interest of East. In a nutshell, the Lafean bill is a measure drawn at the behest of cer tain Eastern apple-growers who have found their market rapidly falling into the hands of Oregon, Washington and other Western competitors. Western apples are today commanding top prices throughout the East, due solely to the superiority of the fruit itself and the attractiveness with which it is shipped to market- and placed on sale. The superior methods of Western pro duction and shipping have enabled Oregon, .. Washington, Idaho and Colo rado growers to crowd out the Eastern . growers In their own markets, and the Lafean bill is proposed to put an end to, or seriously hamper, the Westerners In their fight for these markets. The Department of Agriculture, which is alive to this situation, has undertaken to arouse Eastern grow ers to the necessity for adopting West ern . methods, but thus far has met with little success. It Is easier for the Eastern growers to raise and sell in ferior fruit than to exercise the pre caution characteristic of his Western competitor, and now the Eastern grow er seeks, through the Lafean bill, to drive out his competitor by direct legislation. The issue is one that can clearly be "established, and once the motive is shown the bill will stand little chance of favorable consideration. But Mr. Lafean. in half a dozen years, has made no move to get his bill out of committee, and there is jio Indication that he win put forth any unusual effort this session. THE NEW WOMAN OF OLD Euripides About First Writer Con "cerned About the Sex. I ' Exchange,. Euripides was the first of our extant Greek writers to trouble himself seri ously about the natur duties and rights of women. In Aeschylus women play. Indeed, a large and splendid part. . for good or evil, but it is rather as the in struments of some power, not themselves, making for justice or vengeance. If there Is any passage in Aeschylus or So phocles which dwells on the wrongs or hardships of the sex as such, imposed upon It by nature or the social law, we have forgotten It. But Euripides is full of these ques tionings, and if he is ready enough to paint women as wayward and half-savage creatures of emotion witness Medea, Phaedra, and the Bacchanals he can also both describe a heroine like Alcestis and can raise all kinds of excuses for women's wrongdoing, almost in the spirit of a lemlnist reformer of today. Medea's point of view Is that women have the. worst of It in this world (she "would sooner fight three battles than bear one child"), and that sins against them should be punished, generally by them selves, since men will not avenge them upon men. She has given up everything for Jason home, country, herself; has mmmiitKH crimes for him: and now he is throwing her over for a young bride and a. great position.

The most brilliant individual per former that Harvard has placed upon the - gridiron is unquestionably Daly, thfe quarterback. His contribution was, however, more of a general nature. It is difficult in the case of this young man to pick out particular games and startling Incidents, because he was al most always doing something that was above the -ordinary. Moreover, the credits for his work is divided between Harvard and West Point, for probably his most brilliant run was made' when, representing West Point, he virtually ran through the entire field of Navy tacklers for a touchdown When he secured the ball he was a little, to the left of the center of the field and well into West Point's territory.
