But five of the II member of th cnmml'tec voted for the adoption of the resolutions which were offered by Repre sentative V II. Madison, of Kansas, an Insurgent Republican. Consequently the iiirstlon has arisen as to what. If any, action the full committee, when It ia present, will take later. Representatives James and Graham and other Democratic memlcns maintain that a quorum was present despite the fact that Senator Ne.con, Republican, rhairman of the committee, had declared in the meeting that there waa no quor um. During the. session no member had raised the point of no quorum and Rep resentative James contends that the adoption of the resolution had the ef fect of expressing the views of a ma jority. Two .Men Walk Out. When the committee met. eight niem l - were present, constituting a quor um, but before the voting on the Madi son resolution was reached. Senator lirort. Sutherland. Republican, of Utah, and Representative Samuel W. McCall, K.-publlcan. of Massachusetts, withdrew. 'halrman Nelson remained, but took no j art in the voting. The Republicans assert that the with drawal of Messrs. Sutherland and Mc Call broke the quorum. Of this view. K-prraentalive Madison sald: "Flnal action has not been taken. No report has been adopted and a majority ran. of course, U It sees fit, reverse to day's action." Publicity Is Sought. The resolution adopted t-day Is be 1'eved to be along the line of the minor ity report which Is being prcpiired for prrsentatlon possibly at the meeting Frl dav.

The resolution as offered by Mr. Mad ison and adopted. Is as follows: "First That the charges made by 1 R. Glavls against Secretary Bal llnirer should be sustained: that In the matter of the disposition of the Cun . nlngham coal lands, Mr. Bai linger was not a fnlthful trustee of the Interests of the people and did not perform his duty In such a manner as to properly protect such Interests. siecond That the charges mad by Mr. flnchot should be sustained: that Mr. Baltlnger's course In the adminis tration of the Interior Department had been characterized by a lack of fidelity to the publi.- Interests: that this has been shown In his treatment of the Cun ningham coal claims, the restoration of the water power sites to entry without intention to re-withdraw, and in his administration of the reclamation scrv i-c, the latter resulting In unnecessary humiliation to the director and tend ing toward the disintegration of the service. He has not shown himself be that character of friend to the policy of conservation of our natural re sources that the man should be who holds the post of Secretary of the In terior In our Government ; and that he should no longer be retained In that fn .'

That. a meeting of the Western Conservation Conogress un doubtedly will.be called soon was the statement of Judge Frank Short, of Cali fornia. In the course of the session of the National Conservation Congress here today. The statement came after mini unverified reports that sentiment favor ing such a congress was being worked up by delegates from the Pacific' elope. "It might bo called Immediately," Judge Short said, "were it not for the fear that members of this Congress might look on it as a hostile move. There Is no disposition on our part to bolt this conservation. We came here as dele gates and propose remaining throughout tlie session despite the fact that the ma jority will not accept our views on slate control. Minority Accepts Situation. "We are in the minority, but I'm not complaining. Kvery man is entitled to his views on any question, and the fact that the majority will not agree with us, does not provoke anger." "There seems to be a mistaken idea about the attitude of the Western dele gates," Judge Short continued. "We are not going' to pull out of this convention and go home. I. know that some of the Governors have gone, but there waa a specific reason for the departure of each. "Governor Norrls wants to be re elected and the Democratic state con vention that will nominate him meets at Livingston tomorrow. Governor Brooks has been away for some time and had to return on account of business. Gov ernor Hay is still here. We look upon this congress as having ah educational value and we are going to remain." Agitation Is Welcomed. When President Baker, of the National Conservation Congress, was asked whnt he thought of the convening of a West ern congress, he replied: "Delighted. Let's hold it. The more ngitatlon the question of conservation receives the better It will be." Before 1 Governor Stubbs left for his home In Kansas last night, he said: "They can't hurt anybody by such a meeting. Let 'em have It." The two sessions of the congress today. addressed by James J.

TREATY OF' 1818 DEFINED Special Commission Is Yet to Deter mine Point Raised by United. States Great Britain. Wins . on Threc-MIIo Limit. THE HAGUE, Sept. 7. In the gloomy little chamber of the permanent' arbi tration court, beneath large paintings of men whose names are associated w tth the cause of the world's peace, five Jidci.-, who since the first of June have considered the Newfoundland fisheries dispute between the United States and Great Britain, this afternoon pro nounced the tribunal's historic verdict. The decision gave neither principal a clear-cut award, bu tin the seven ques tlons at Issue supported the United States in five and Great Britain In two. The court will be a memorable one because it settled finally the disputes arising; from the British-American treaty of 1818, which have caused con tinued diplomatic controversies, and In cidentally because of the six-day speech of Ellhu Root, which lawyers here re gard as having- been the greatest pre sentation of a case at The Hague.

On zone of the two questions decided in favor of Great Britain, the United Stares has wised certain questions' of equh;- wl Ich VI11 have to e stibmfttcd to a special commission for determina tion. Englishmen are pleased with the award, because under it the three-mile limit. Is based on headlands, instead of following the binuoslties of the coast, and because their sovereignty Is up held by confirming Great Britain's right to make reasonable fisheries reg ulations without concurrence of the United States. The award provides that existing dis puted fishing regulations shall be sub mitted to a commission composed of one expert from each country and Dr. Paulus Shoek. the fisheries adviser of the Netherlands. The award holds that by the treaty of 1818 permission Is giv en to Americans to enter certain bays and harbor for shelter and repairs and to take on board wood and water. The treaty of 1818, around which the hole controversy revolves, declares the United States' right to "take, dry and cure" fish on these coasts and to 'dry and cure" only on any of the unsettled bays, harbors and creeks on tlie rest of the Southern Newfoundland and Labrador coasts.

"The medium Is a healthy, splendidly- tralne Intellectual woman," said Mr. Ayer "and has devoted much of her life the art of attuning herself mentally and spiritually to the lives of the tern pie bond of spirits." Through this medium, Professo James is reported to have given th following message: "I am at peace, peace (here severa words were loet), with myself and al mankind. I have awakened to a life far beyond my highest conception while a denizen of earth. Tell my brothers that I will transmit a message through thts instrument that will prove my dividuallty when I can manifest more clearly than at ithis time. I did no realize how difficult it would be to manifest from this place of life to the mortal place. There is much for me to learn and many conditions to over come.

Milwaukee Has No Of ficial Reception. SEIDEL OBJECTS TO YIEWS Colonel Makes Programme, Visiting Trade Schools. PROMISE TO KAISER- KEPT Regards Convejed lo Deutsche' Club. Whose Members Sing 'Hocli Soil cr l.cbon" Several Times Press Club Is Host. MILWAUKEE, Srpt. 7. -The Germane had their day with ex-President Roose velt today. Beginning the day with a t iff with Milwaukee'.- Socialist Mayor, ICmil Seidel, who is a German. Colonel Roosevelt put in the scheduled hours of his visit here by roaming about the city at will, making his own programme a? ho went. He inspected th city's trade school?. attended two luncheons and a dinner, took an automobile ride to Whltefish Bay. Summer resort on the lake shore, near Milwaukee, and adresscd two huge au diences tonight. He went late to his car to start early in the morning for Freeport, 111., where he is to speak tomor row and for Chicago, which he Is to visit late in the day. Colonel Replies Reforo Breakfast. The Milwaukee Press Club had the Colonel in hand. In honor of the day the club got out the ttrst and last edition of the Big Stick, a newspaper devoted exclusively to Colopci Roscvelt's affairs. In it there was a letter by Mayor Seidel, explaining why he would not serve as a member of ihc , .committee to welcome CbUmel Roosevelt. He considered that something which the Colonel had written about socialism was unkind and said that the Colonel could not expect him to wel come him. Before he had his breakfast Colonel Roosevelt issued a reply, telling the peo ple that he would prefer to have them read what he had written rather than what the Mayor said about what he had written. The Colonel said that the fact that the city administration was not represented the official ceremonies of the day did not trouble him at all. Programme Cast Aside. The original programme for the day in luded six speeches and visits to a dozen places. Colonel Roosevelt looked it over as soon as he arrived and said that he could not possibly get it all done In one day. lie cast the programme aside and mad6 one out for himself. He wanted to visit the trades schools and started for them. At the boys' trades school, where th rouths of Milwaukee are taught useful occupations, chiefly mechanics, the Colo nel spent nearly an hour questioning the iifctructors and students about their work. He refused absolutely to give any ad iee. "I'm here to learn, not to teach," he said. "What work does your father do?" he asked a boy of 11, who is learning to be patternmaker. He is a patternmaker," the boy re plied. School Method Approved. 'Kine." exclaimed the Colonel. He was told that many mechanics send their ons to the school. He went through the place, questioning boys who were learn- ng plumbing, carpentering and engine- laking. "it is important that each man should a little more than pull his own weight n the world," he said, as the boys on the second floor gathered around him. "And it is of vital consequence to him to hav-j him trained so that he can begin early instead of leaving him to be trained in a haphazard way. That is what this school Is doing." He shook hands with all the boys and then went down stairs, where there was more handshaking. As one little boy edged up to him, the Colonel pointed his finder at him and said: "Ha! Ha! You're a ringer. I shook hands with you up stairs."' But he shook the boy's hand again. Girls Truly Educated. Then the Colonel went to the West side, to the girls' school. He saw the girls at work there, learning to sew and cook. Around the walls of the sew ing room were exhibits of the work done there, from simple aprons, which almost anyone can make, to some thin and filmy laces, and hand embroidered things to manufacture, which the Colonel was told. It takes a long course of training. "I don't think a girl really has been educated unless she can do this work," said the Colonel, as he gazed on the samples held up for his opinion. The Colonel was led to the kitchen and as soon as he arrived there he asked if he might have some of the potato soup which had been prepared for the girls' lunch. He ate his soup while the crowd looked on and he said that he had never tasted better. Then Colonel Roosevelt said he wanted to go to the Deutscher Club. The mem bers of one club had been notified that he was coming and were waiting for him. As he mounted the steps of the club house, tlie Germans gathered around him and half carried him inside. They sang "Hoch Soil er Leben." though, sev eral times before they stopped to talk. "I wish I could pose as your invited guest," said the Colonel. "I found out , hist night that no arrangements had been -'fr y
