But five of the II member of th

resolutions which were offered by Repre

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

'halrman Nelson remained, but took no

The Republicans assert that the with

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

matter of the disposition of the Cun

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

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 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.
Questions 'of Equity Arise.
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. Under the treaty
Great Britain conceded the right Just
mentioned and the United States re-

Resident of Boston Gives Out Com
munication He Asserts Was Sent
From Spirit World.
BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 7. (Special.)
The late Professor William James.
Harvard, has sent a- message to hi
friends from the spirit world, accord
ing to SI .S. Ayer, a Boston business
man, who says he conducted the re
markable eeance at his home. "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.
The above message, said Mr. Ayer, i
given by Professor James and means
to us that in a short time he will be
able to accustom himself to his sur
roundlngs to the extent that he will
be able to give the world a much
longer, .clearer and more satisfying
message.

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 ,
