PORTLAND, Ore., June 18.
International , treaties looking- to
the conservation and propagation

urged today by Dr. Barton Warren
Evermann, San Francisco,- in an
address delivered at a joint ses
sion of .the ecological society of
America and the western society
of ; naturalists in connection with
the ninth annual meeting here of
the American-association for the
advancement of science.'
- tThe resources of the earth, said
Dr. Evermann, who is acting sec
retary 'treasurer of the California
academy of sciences, are being
exploited and consumed in a de
gree that may be expected to bring
about eventual depletion. Ore.
coal, fur, river fish and, other na
tural resources are being rapidly
consumed, and the land itself,
called upon the produce successive
crops ; of agricultural and horti
cultural products, calls for artifi
cial fertilizer, and always, in cer
tain sections, for irrigation.
' '?The ocean," said Dr. Ever
mann, ' "will never lack .moisture,
and so far as. man .has been .able
to determine it offers now .the

Thousands of Followers Arejieft
Without Leader; Successor
! 'i: Not Found !
WASHINGTON. June 18. (By
The Associated Press),- The pass
ing of Robert M. La Follette from
the political stage may be destined
to have a' greater effect upon po
litical events of the next few
years than has that of aqy other
American within a decade.
His death leaves a great army
of followers without a recognized
leader. Its' immediate effect upon
the fortunes of the new political
organization which he so recently
inaugurated . can be' - left .only to
conjecture, but without undertak
ing to assess that his supporters
declare the movement will go for
ward with increasing momentum.
Who will succeed to the place
he has made vacant is a question
to which the answer lies in the
future. , But whoever takes It will
be called . upon to . maintain a rec
ord fo leadership unusual in po
litics. - :
Throughout his ; tenure as a
titular .head - of tthe insurgent
group In congress,- the Wisconsin
senator was able to keep ' his
forces in line on almost every
major issue. This group exerted
an influence upon legislation and
policies that on more . than . one
occasion overbalanced' all of the
strength brought to bear by those
in power.
For many years Senator La Fol
lette cond acted a lone fight, but
as time wore on he gathered about
him a group sufficient to wield
the balance pf power in both the
house and senate. 'So strong was
his influence that even when sick
ness compelled his absence from
the senate he ,wa able to make
his views felt in no uncertain
manner.;,."; '.i',-., ..
, While elected always as a, re-;
publican. Senator La Follette split
finally with) the recognized leaderr
ship of that party to head the in
dependent presidential ticket in
1924.
As a result, a majority of. the
senate republicans read him and
his three chief supporters in that
chamber out of ;the party councils
This action .apparently never
gave the senator the slightest con
cern and he went; ahead .with .a
plan to consolidate the movement
of which he was the head.
After the first shock of the
senator's', death, there was con
siderable speculation as to a sue
cessor to take up the mantle he
has laid down. The general opin
Ion appeared to behowever, that
it was too early to offer conjee
tures In that direction.
Senator La-Follette's death was
not attributed by his physicians
and; family to the grind of cam
paigning last year nor to his dis
appointment over his showing as
a presidential candidate, bat ,ra
ther'to' his persistent tendency to
overtax his strength ' throughout
bis career.

Death Nears f 1
WASHINGTON, June 18.--By
Associated Press) Death brought
to an end today the daring, stormy
political career of Robert M. La
Follette of Wisconsin. :
Peacefully the Wisconsin sena
tor, last vear an independent can
didate for president passed away
at his' home, a victim or neart
attacks from which he had been
a sufferer for a decade, bronl
chitis, bronchial asthma.
To the last Mr. La Follette
sought to ward off death's thrust.
as he had done on several occa
sions in recent years, but when
be realized that the fight was a
losing one he called his son, Rob
ert, to his bedside and in an ai-
most inaudible. voice gave this last
message to the public:
"I am at peace with all the
world, but there is a lot of work
I could still do, I don't know
how .the people will 'feel ;toward
me. but I shall take to the grave
my love for them which has sus
tained me through : life." ,
Confined to his bed for, several
weeks by illness which had
wrecked his body repeatedly in
the last few years but had. failed
to weaken his fighting spirit, the
senator suffered a heart attack,
this morning which brought to his
physicians a realization that '. the
end was near: ' He lapsed Into un
consciousness shortly before, noon
and died at 1:21 p. m., with, his
wife and other members -of the
"family "at his bedside. -.
.Without ostentation, the body
will - be taken tomorrow to the
senator's home at Madison, Wis..
for burial. No services will be
held Jhere. but on the Insistence
of those who , stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in his battles
In -Wisconsin he will lie in state.
In the capitol there Saturdar and
f uneral services will be held Mon-
dav in that building where n
once presided as governor.
Leaders of all political creeai
were quick today to pay tributt
tn senator Ia Follette and ac
knowledge his influence on con
temporary American politics. One
f th first to offer condolences
to Mrs. La Follette was President
Coolidge, who wrote:
"The news having Just reached
me '.of the death of Senator La
roliette. I wish to extend to you
and your family the sympathy of
myself and Mrs, Coolidge. As you
know, , I presided over the senate
