CONFERENCE BEARS FRUIT
61. Paul Delegates, In Alarm, Agree
That Western Speakers Shall
Get Fair Show at Big
Conservation Congress.
That the people cf the West ret be
hind the conservation movement and
let tba word go out that they are In
favor of conservation If It Is carried
oa from a Western standpoint, and
y Individual states. Is the principal
benefit that will be derived from the
recent conference of Rocky Mountain
and Pacific States Governors at Salt
.Lake Cltv. according to C. N. McAr-
thur. private secretary and personal
representative of Acting Governor
Jar Bowerinaa at the meeting's, who
returned to Portland Saturday nlttht.
One of the principal direct results
that will come from the meeting;, saiu
Mr. McArthur. "will be the more tc
tlvs part that the West will take In
the coming- Conservation Congress at
St. Paul.
"It was really on account of the ap
parent slight given the Western states
In the preparation or the St. J-aul
programme that the Salt Lake con
ference was called. Governor Hy,
who was In great measure responsible
for the conference, had some corrw-
spondence with the officials of the
Conservation Congress with the end In
view that the West be given fair treat
ment In making up the programme. He
!alred that speakers from Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast states be
given representation. This was denied.
It was then that he railed the confer
ence of Governors with the result that
the St. Paul people became alarmed
and sent three delegates to the meet
ings.
One of the first things discussed
In the conferences on Thursday' was
the stand taken by the St. Paul off!
clals and the action, as expressed by
one of the Governors, of 'stacking the
cards against the West was bttterly
denounced.
"The St. Paul delegates began to grow
uneasy about thin time and presented the
rearranged programme with plenty of
provisions for Western people and d
eusp-.nn of Western topics. The meeting's
of the congress will extend over an addi
tional day. In which President Taft will
deliver the principal address. The re of
the time will be given to Western Gov.
mora or their representatives.
"W hen these facts were presented to us
the conference passed a resolution declar
ing the Intention of the states represented
to lake part In the Bu Paul meeting. An
asremnt was at once reached among
the delegates to urge their represents
tivea to the Conservation Congress to
prepare addresses emphatically outlining
the policy of the Western slates with ref
erence to the conservation question.
"In nearly all the Mates the delegates
have already been appointed. Many of
tnese are now outlining their work. The
views of the states most vitally sffected
by the conservation movement will be
thoroughly and ably presented to the St.
Psul meeting.
"Acting Governor Bowerman announced
hla gpiolntmertts to the congress several
days before I left for Salt Lake City. It
Is understood all the appointees will at
tend. He will endeavor to make sub
stitutions In place of any possible wlth
dramala. They will be thoroughly armed
with facts, figures snd Information and
will be able to lay before the Eastern
delegates, who seem to bare their own
peculiar Ideas shout conservation JuK
what ths West wants and bow It wants
to obtain It.
"Ths conference went on record as
favoring conservation. Not a word
against the general conservation pol
icy of preserving the country's natural
resources was heard, but it was the
opinion of everyone that the Individual
states are beat able to conduct the
work.
"It was pointed out by most of the
speakers that It Is reasonable to be
lieve that the resources of a state can
be better bandied by the states them
selves than by officials who are 3000
miles away and who have never been
on ths ground and know llttls or noth
ing of conditions
"While this question Involves the
old states' rights problem to a certain
extent there was no one at the meet
ing that did not think ths proposed
policy of conservation could be prac
ticed without Infringing upon the theory
pf National Government as established
when the doctrine of states' rights as
advocated by the South was forever abol
ished. "It Is a question that affects the Indi
vidual etntes In different wsys. For in
stance. Oregon has forestry and fisheries
to contend with while Colorado has the
' mineral question among Its foremost top
ics. Now. s law made in Washington to
govern all these varied resources can not
trerate effectively and beneficially In all
the states.
"The people of the different states
understand their own conditions better
than the Federal officials and are.
therefore, better able to carry on the
conservation work.
"This was the sentiment expressed by
all the delegates and this will be one
if the questions that the St. Paul meet
ing will he urged to consider earnestly.
If ws can Impress our Ideas upon that
meeting we hope to secure favorable
action at the next session of Congress."
Nine states Idaho. California, Ore
gon. Washington. I'tah. Nevada. Colo
rado, Wyoming and Minnesota were
represented, either by their Governors
or by personally appointed delegates of
the Governors. While both the great
political parties were represented, po
litical Issues were not once brought
out and ths meetings from start to
finish were unanimous In their opinions,
smvs Mr. McArthur.
"While we went on record as favor
in the control of the Nation's natural
resources by the Individual states, we,
did not Intend to eliminate the Fed
eral Government entirely from Its pres
ent position of authority." he con
tinued. "One of oar resolutions pro
vides for co-operation between the state
snd Federal authorities In this work
until such time as ths states can be
conceded full and complete authority.
No expression was given as to the time
it would require for the states to take
over this property. ,
"Rut all of these details were only
of secondary Importance to our desire
to obtain fair representation at the St.
Paul meeting. Ws were conceded that
right before our meetings started, but
while we were together we discussed
all the questions that have come
up In connection with conser
vation. Ws didn't arrange to hold any
future meetings as we didn't consider
they would be necessary."

"Incidentally." remarked the Govetnor's

WOMAN TOURS FAR IN AUTO
Mrs. Harriet Clark Fish Sees World
From Tonncau of Cor.
CHICAGO. Aug. j-. With less thsn
1000 miles remaining, what Is said to
be the most memorable tour ever un
dertaken by a woman. Mrs. Harriet
Clark Fisher, a millionaire manufac
turer of Trenton. N. J., arrived in Chi
cago last evening- In her 40-horse-pow-er
automobile. She made the run from
Davenport. Ia over the 1910 Glldden

heavy showers.
Mrs. Fisher has been gone from horns
about one year and has sent her car
where no other automobile was ' ever
seen. She expects to resume the last
lap of her long trip today.
Mrs. Fisher took up motoring six
years ago. In an effort to regain her
health. With her nephew. Harold Fish
er Brooks, who acted as her secretary
and driver, she sailed for Europe a
yesir ago. The tourists traversed Italy
and went later to Asia Minor and
India.

Journey from Calcutta to Bombay, de
daring there were no roads and that
automobile never had been aent

Mrs. Fisher not only safely negoti
ated the Indian Jonrney. but subse
quently took her automobile through
Japan: experiencing- many thrilling en
counters with mountain road perils, cold
rains and floods.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth. daughter
of a former President and wife of a
Representative in Congress, has not re
fused to eschew ths cigarette at the be
hest of the temperance women of Ohio
and Nebraska recently communicated.
Neither has Mrs. Longworth done any
thing to bear out the prediction that
she would resent audibly the well-
meant efforts of the temperance woman
But Mrs. Longworth still smokes
cigarettes. And she has ignored the
communication of the temperance
women urging her to forego the prac
tice. .......
Mrs. Longworth's complete - Ignoring
of the letters from the temperance en
thuslasta has left them somewhat non
plussed as to what next to do. Earnest
discussions have been held within the
past few days as to the advisability of
writing Mrs. Longworth further on the
subject, but It has not been conclusive
ly decided this should be done.
There Is no doubt Mrs. Longworth
smokes cigarettes when she feels like
It. sa do a great many other women.
All the "smart set" In England smoke,
and the habit Is In common vogue on
the continent. They have no W. C. T.
U. in foreign countries to protest. Mrs.
Longworth Is reported to be self-willed
and she will probsbly continue to do
ss she likes. It was said at ths time
Mr. Roosevelt was President he told a
friend that to he Alice Roosevelt's

action on the part of Mr. Cannon, which
I regret very much, makea me feel that
It Is my duty to state publicly that I do
not think It to the best Interests of the

SHERMAN IS HELD

Committee in Special Report
Clears Vice-President and
Senator Curtis.
CONNECTION NOT SHOWN
Senator Gore In Formal Statement
Recalls Fact That Names Were
Introduced Into Recent Hear
ing Over His Protest.
SULPHUR, Okie-. Aug. SI. Ths se
lect committee appointed by the House
of Representatives to Investigate In
dian land matters and the so-called
McMurray contracts and which also has
been Investigating the Gore bribery
charges, last night Issued the following
statement:
"The committee r us heard and care
fully considered all of .the testimony
submitted and Is unanimously of ths
opinion that there Is and was no war
rant for any person to use the names
of Vice-President Sherman and Sen
ator Charles Curtis In connection with
any improper relation with any Indian
contract whatever."
This is the opinion of the committee
after hearing scores of witnesses, who
appeared following the testimony of
Senator T. P. Gore. Senator Gore de
clared that he had been approached
by Jake L. Hamon and that Hamon.
acting In the interest of J. F. McMur
ray. had offered him (Senator Gore)
$25,000 or 150,000 as a bribe to promote
In Congress the contracts by which Mc
Murray was to receive 10 per cent as
attorney's fee on the sale of JS0.000.000
worth of Indian lands.
The Senator testified that Hamon
mentioned Senator Curtis and Vice-
President Sherman as being "Inter
ested" In the deal, Mr. Sherman being
named as the man "higher up." Hamon
on the stand denied that he had ever
said anything about ths contracts to
Gore.
Gore's Statement Commended.
The committee's report was signed by
Representative Charles Burks, Boutn
Dakota; C B. Miller, Minnesota; w.
Saunders. Virginia; N. H. Stephens,
Texas, and Phillip H. Campbell, Kan
sas.
In giving Its decision today the com
mittee announced it had received from
Senator Gore a statement relative to
Vice-President Sherman and Senator
Curtis and that the committee "com
mended" Senator Gore's statement.
This statement from Senator Gore,
which was read and Inserted In the of
flclal record of the investigation, fol
lows in part:
"To the Investigating committee: I feel
In duty and honor bound to make the
following statement; also in consideration
of common justice toward the parties
concerned. Neither ths name of Vice-
President Sherman nor Senator Curtis
was mentioned' by me on the floor of the
United States Senate. That the name
of either of these parties wss alluded to
by Mr. Hamon was steadfastly withheld
from the public until this Investigation
began.
No public mention of their names was
ever made, either directly or Indirectly
by me, until I was required and obliged
to do so testifying as a witness under
oath and detailing the conversation
which occurred between Mr. Hamon and
mysalf. I then mads formal protest
against introducing their names, but ths
committee In the proper pursuit of Its
duties required me to make a full answer
without reservation.
Their names were discussed not with
any view to Inculpating them, nor with
any view of suggesting guilt, but merely
in order that the truth and the whole
truth might be related with reference to
the details of the conversation in ques
tion
"The investigation is now practically
concluded, a volume of evidence has been
adduced and there is no testimony tend
ing to establish any Improper connection
on the part of either official with the
approval of ths so-called McMurray
contracts. While the public has no rea
son to suspect any such Improper con
nectlon, yet I would request that the
committee at the earliest practicable
moment make an authoritative finding
and statement to the effect that no evi
dence has been presented tending to es
tablish any Improper conduct on the part
of either Vice-President Sherman or Sen
ator Curtis respecting the subject of this
Investigation."
The committee announced that ths In
vestigatlon had not been concluded. Mc
Murray will continue his testimony on
Monday.
What relation ex-Senator Chester I.
Long, of Kansas, and ex-Senator John
M. Thurston, of Nebraska, have with the
so-called McMurray contracts was de
scribed by McMurray before the oommit-
tee today
In endeavoring to secure approval of
the contracts, the witness said, Mr. Long
had called on President Taft and Mr.
Thurston had called on Attorney-General
Wlckersham. Asked to explain exactly
what the ex-Senators were employed by
him to do, McMurray said they were to
advise him on legal matters.
W A' Mall irlaHIni, Ilia T3-.l-n ,
and th Attomev-Genersl advlsinar vnu
on legal matters do you? asked Repre
sentative E. W. Saunders.
McMurray declared the visits were
made . to find out m regard to legal
phases of the contracts. It previously
had been shown that President Taft at
such visits had expressed his disapproval
of the 10 per cent fee on the ground that
It was too high.
The witness denied that the ex-Sen-stors
had been employed to lobby. Mc
Murray was compelled to be In Wash
ington to seek approval of his contracts,
and he selected the ex-Senators as coun
sel becauss he believed they were well
qualified to assist him. Questioned about
Cecil A. Lyon. National Republican com
mitteeman of Texas, the witness said
certain Indictments were pending against
the McMurray law firm In connection
Wtth the $760,000 fee paid In 1905, In the
citizenship cases.
WIFE'S PETITION DENIED
Court Rules Husband Need Not Live
With Mother-In-Law.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. A man doesn't
have to live with his mother-in-law
unless he wants to, and his wife cannot
get alimony If she clings to her mother
rather than her husband. So Supreme
Court Justice Hendrlck rules In denying
a decree of separation to Eveline L. Lan
gille. wife of Joseph E. Langille, a mer
chant. She alleged that while she had
been a true and faithful wife, he had dis
regarded his obligations as a husband by
abandoning her on June 4. 1908. She asked

a weekly allowance pending the trial.
Langills In his answer told the court
that not only had ha provided his wife
with all the good things of life, but he
had also "put up" with her mother as a
resident In his home for a good many
years. Ths limit to Ms patience came
on June 4, 1908. he says, when he left
hla home and told his wife that he would
provide another place for her to live
wtth him If she would leave her mother
behind.
Justice Hendrlck found that Mrs. Lan
gllle has not always conducted herself as
a true and faithful wife, and that Mr.
Langille has not disregarded his marital
obligations. "The plaintiff's mother," he
adds, "has lived with the plaintiff and
defendant, and such living has been un
desirable to the defendant.
"The plaintiff and the defendant are
equally guilty of quarreling with each
other, but such quarreling was In a great
measure Induced by the presence of the
plaintiff's mother in the home of the de
fendant." The complaint was dismissed.
ALASKA IS FEARED FOR
TOO MTCH CONSERVATION, SAYS
BANKER SCHIFF.
Development of Territory Favored
Under Control of Govern
ment Commission.
NEW TORE, Aug. A (Special.)
Jacob H. Schlff. the banker, has re
turned from an .extensive, tour of
Alaska, and declared himself In favor
of having the' vast mineral and timber
resources of the territory developed
under the control of a government com
mission something like the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
He said such a commission should
have the power to determine not only
the quantity of minerals and timber to
be taken out, but also the royalty to
be paid to the Government -and perhaps
even the percentage of profits which
should be allowed to the promoters and
corporations engaged In the work of
developing these resources.
He expressed the opinion that the
development of Alaska at present was
being hampered by too much govern
mental conservation, and said that per
sistence in this policy not only would
drive away a good part of the compar
atively small population of the terrl
tory, but also would frighten capital
from seeking Investment there.
Mr. Schlff. who acquired a fine coat
of tan from six weeks' exposure to the
sun and winds of Alaska, began his re
marks on the country by saying that
he went merely for pleasure and got
only a general Impression of the ter
ritory. "The situation In Alaska," he added.
"appears to be that there Is consider
able mineral wealth In the country,
while the agricultural possibilities are
not great. In the first place, the coun
try Is very hilly and to a large extent
arid, but what 1b most against It as
an agricultural country is the short
Summer season. From all I could see
and learn. It may be possible for cer
tain dlstrlots to raise a certain amount
of agricultural products for the needs
of those districts, but so far as the
possibility of AlaBka becoming an ex
port country for agricultural products
Is concerned, that is entirely beyond
expectations.
"The three great staples for whloh
Alaska can be depended upon are met
als, fish and coal. The fisheries appear
to be very prosperous. Metals need
railroads and wagon roads to be built
to reach the different deposits before
they can be properly developed. Coal
Is awaiting the establishment of a pol
icy by the Government for Its develop
ment. At present coal in Alaska Is
worth something like 112 a ton. It Is
altogether British Columbia coal. If
the Alaska coal mines were opened,
however, it probably could be furnished
at from $1.75 to $3 a ton.
"The demand for conservation is good
enough, but It must not go so far as it
does at present. Capital is readily
frightened, and the fact Is that the
population in Alaska Is at present not
increasing because Intending immi
grants do not know on what they can
count. To me. It appears that Alaskan
resources, especially coal and timber,
should be developed under the control
of a United States commission, some
thing like the Interstate Commerce
Commission--a commission which shall
determine how fast coal may be taken
out or timber cut. what royalties shall
be paid to the Government, and perhaps
even what percentage of profits shall
be allowed to promoters and corpora
tions who desire to work these re
sources. But ths present state of affairs In
Alaska Is certainly not encouraging."

lows. As Crlppen came hurrying
across tha plank handcuffed, his hat
pulled low over his eyes, he ran
squarely into a rope that held the
gangway steady. The rope caught him
under the chin, and Jerked him back
wards, and had not Inspector Dew
caught him, Crlppen would IjVb fallen
and possibly pitched between the two
vessels into the water.
Accused Girl Collapses.
Miss Leneve, who had left the Jail
with every evidence of willingness, had
to be supported as she crossed the
gangplank. As she reached the deck
of the Megantic, she fainted and had
to be carried to her cabin. It wai
half an hour before she revived.
The finishing touch of a 12-hour per
formance that more than once verged
on opera bouffe was, given when the
Scotland Yard inspector climbed the
gang plank and with impassive coun
tenance entered his name on the pas
senger list rb "Silias P. Boyle." This
was done in spite of the fact that Dew
was probably the best-known man
aboard and that among his 900 fellow
passengers fully 00 had met him here
in Quebec. Consistently he registered
his assistant. Sergeant Mitchell, of
Scotland Yard, as "M. F. D. Johnston."

She carried 260 members of the "Queen's
Own,,, a crack Canada regiment bound
for England to Join' the British army
maneuvers.
Attempt at Secrecy Falls.
Dew smuggled his prisoners from the
local Jail at 7 o'clock with three hacks
and five provincial detectives to help
his own Scotland Yard force. Then,
by circuitous routes, he drove to the
river at Slllery, a village, a mile from
the Jail 'in a straight line, but seven
miles over the road he chose. But when
a party of newspapermen came in pur
suit they had no trouble in finding the
trio. In an automobile, they reached
Slllery in time to see the tug Queen
puffing up the river, with Dew on
deck wearing a triumshant smile.
The photographers chartered a tug
and overhauled the Queen, Just as the
Megantic coming down from Montreal,
hove In sight.
For the next half hour there followed
an exhibition of marine maneuvering
that would have delighted the heart of
Captain Mahan, the Queen trying to
reach the Megantic so. as to put . the
prisoners aboard unobserv-d, the sharp
shooters on the tug jockeying for place.
Finding his task impossible, . Dew
finally had the Queen lathed to the
steamer's side end put Crlppen and t
Miss Leneve aboard, under a camera'
fire partly masked by the efforts of
his felt hat pulled low and his face
buried in his coat collar while the girl
the two prisoners to hide their faces.
Crlppen dashed up the gangplank with
bad her features effectually concealed
by a heavy blue veil.
It is understood that Crlppen and
Mies. Leneve will be confined closely
to their cabins during- the voyag-e, ex
cept for a short time each day, when
they will be permitted to take exercise
on the bridge. There they will be ef
fectually screened from observation.

YOUNG DIABETIC
RECOVERS
A Mr. H. E. Hunter, of Nome. Alaska,
came to San Francisco to be treated
for Diabetes. When he arrived he
came in contact with Dr. W. F. Mc
Allister, of this city. Ship Surgeon of
the steamer Alcapulco. After careful
examination Dr. McAllister found his
specific gravity 1040 with five grains
of sugar to the ounce.
There was eczema over the entire
bQdy due to the acetones, loss in
weight Intense thirst, severe neuralgic
fiains, etc., and the case looked hope
ess, especially due to the youth of the
patient (twenty-one years). Br. Mc
Allister referred the patient to a
specialist in this city who Js treating
Brlght's Disease and Diabetes almost
exclusively. '
The latter put the case on Fulton's
Diabetic Compound, aiding It with
functional treatment for the liver with
alkalines, stimulating nutrition,, etc.
After sixty days all symptoms disap
peared and the patient returned to his
home.
The physician is now' ln: receipt of
a letter dated three months after leav
ing this city with a sample , which
shows specific gravity of 1020 and no
sugar. He gained ten pounds in
weight and writes that he is feeling
fine.
The physician quotes Ms memo of
the case as' follows: "This recovery I
consider remarkable, as the age is but
twenty-one years, and it was an ex
treme case. In fact It was so well es
tablished that upon Dr. McAllister's re
turn from a southern voyage he 'men
tioned the case and asked If the patient
was still alive."
We have been cautious about claim
ing results for the Diabetic Compound
in DeoDle under forty, but the physi
cian above referred to has had several
recoveries among children.
However. It should be stated that in
young cases of Diabetes the Diabetic
Compound should be aided by skilled
physicians with functional treatment
