Pinchotism Is Attacked
With Vengeance.
6UYIS IS ROUNDLY SCORED
By Unanimous Vote Conserva
tionists Are Swept Away.
OPEN ALASKA, IS BIG CRY
Nett to Antl-Conservatlon Stand of
Congress Is Declaration for Im
mediate Action In Vast
Northern Coal Fields.
LOS ANGFH.ES. Sept. 29 The Ameri
can Mining Congress not only placed It
self on record today against all the pol
icies of conservation. hut by a vote that
was practically unanimous, declared in
favor of state control of all natural re
sources. Onuervatlnn only as it relates to the
prevention of waste was indorsed, then
the Congress accepted a report of the
committee on Alaska mining- laws in
which Clavis and Jones, the Land Office
special agents, dismissed by Baillnger,
were attacked.
The delegates applauded E. A. Wright,
of Nevada, when he classed Colonel
Boosevelt among the conservationists,
whose activities were In one resolution
characterlxed as "mere sham and pre
tense." PliK-hot Gels Tribute.
Wright paid tribute to'Glfford Plnchot
as an honest, sincere m.m. but he added
that the same could not be said of most
of the other prominent conservationists,
chief among them "a recent occupant of
the White House, who. instead of con
serving Federal revenues, raised Gov
ernment expenditures to an amount that
equalled each year the entire amount of
the National debt and made the Presi
dential office cost the people $125,000 a
year."
The conservation delegates began los
ing heart long before the resolutions
committee submitted Its report and when
It was read, and showed that the com
mittee had gone much further than any
one expected in declaring for absolute
state control, they backed down entirely
ar.d but one or two feeble protests were
raised against It as It went through.
Next to the an ti -conservation stand
to which the resolutions pledged the
congress, greatest Interest was 'aroused
by the report of the AIa.ka mining laws
committee which advocated Immediate
opening of the vast coal fields beyond the
Arctic Circle, denounced the proposed
leasing system as confiscatory and un
just to legitimate claimants and declared
for more borne rule and less interference
from Washington In the affairs of the
northern territory.
Land Court Is Backed.
A land court, which is said to have
the Indorsement of President Taft. was
favored by the committee, which regis
tered Its objection to the Federal Land
tfflce acting in the triple role of detec
tive, prospector and Judge In the matter
of coal claims.
- It was tn this report that the slap
at Gtavls and Jones was given. Refer
uig to the activities of the Lund Office
agents the report said that many of
the special agents had not visited Alaska,
but had written thetr reports on Alaska
In Seattle and added:
"It might be well If It were generally
known that Special Agents L. R. Glavis
and Horace T. Jones, whose attacks on
the Interests snd Integrity of Alaskans
have been so widely quoted have never
been within 600 miles of the coal fields
of Alaska."
Other Government agents, the report
continued, "would not recognise a cosl
mine If they were transported to it in
a palace car."
The place for the next meeting of the
congress win probably be selected to
morrow. Arizona has two cities In line
for the honor. Douglas and Prescott and
one of these probably will get It
The resolutions committee report. In
Its main points, is as follows:
Conservation Theory Opposed.
"Resolved, that In common with cltl
sens of the United States engaged In
other Industries, we approve the theory
and practice at true conservation which
means utilizing and developing with the
least possible waste, the natural re
sources of our country.
"We recognize, as men engaged in
one of the most Important Industries of
our country, the value of true conserva

and National, as will bring about a ben

Western country, for the best interests
of the present and future generations
without unnecessary waste.
"We condemn, however, as unwise, as

ROCHESTER. N. T.. Sept. 29. The
first session of the Democratic state
convention today was a brief Intermis
sion In the business that has brought
together here the delegates of the 61
cbuntiea of New York State.
This business was the selection of a
candidate for the head of the ticket and
it promised to keep the leaders out of
bed all night. The convention came to
order at 1:07 P. M.. perfected a tempor
ary organization,- listened to a brief ar
raignment by the temporary chairman,
Alton B. Parker, of the Republicans in
general and the political ascendancy of
Theodore Roosevelt at Saratoga In' par

Judgment of the leaders.
Session Will Begin in I P. M.
Tomorrow at 1 o'clock the convention

on a candidate selected In the meantime.

hopelessness to effect any coalition
strong enough to oppose him with any

Murphy Needs His Caution.
The problem that Mr. Murphy faces is
one that needs all of his caution, experi

candidate who will be strong enough to
run at least an even race with Henry L.
Stimson. backed by Theodore Roosevelt;
one who will command the support of
Democrats of all shades of opinion, and
who can win the support of W. R.

SPOKANE, Wash.. Sept. 29. (Spe
cial.) Sitting silently In the court
room. In the Federal building, is a wo
man whose faithfulness is the com
ment of everyone who hears . of sacri
fices made to protect her husband, fac
ing a life sentence in the Federal peni
tentiary for train robbery.
She is Edna Howells. Damning as is
the evidence against her husband, C. D.
Howells, who was arrested at Seattle,
and In spite of the repeated positive
identification, she is fighting with all
her love to have him freed.
One thing lacking for the defense was
the fact that Howells had no money
to secure the attendance of witnesses
outside the Jurisdiction. This is in the
face of the contention of the govern
ment that Howells robbed the Gteat
Northern Express Company of $15,000 a
year after the mall robbery. Howells
has not shown himself to be In funds
and his only chance lay in the presence
of certain witnesses, by whom he hoped
to establish an alibi.
In palmier days his wife secured two
beautiful diamond rings. When the
case developed that money was needed
she forgot her love for the 'Jewels,
forgot everything but the dire needs of
her husband, and sold the two rings
for $100 apiece, less their true value.
Her wedding ring went, too, toward
raising the necessary money and what
little she had saved as a stenographer
for A. C Edwards was placed at the
disposal of her husband and his at
torneys. Ever since her husband's arrest she
has been kept away from him, as the
government took the position that if
there was anything to conceal, How
ells would confide In his wife and have
her aid him. Now she Is by his side

"Where have you been all the timer
I got here and have been waiting to
lunch with you as I promised. Here you
have kept me waiting half an hour."

from every acre almost. There must
heve been 750,000 looking at me.
