HOLD FUTURE CONFERENCES Conference of Governors Will Form Permanent Organization. Declare for Preservation of Natural Resources of Country Co-operation Only Way to Work for Best Interests of All Results Expected to Be Far-reaching. Washington, May 10. Tho first c-on-fercnc.es of tho governors of the states ot tho American Union ended yesterday. - Like nla,,y of the important events of j History, time is to reveal the epoch which tho president and governors bo- ; iovu hi,cu Hlaj0i T,,0 c 0 Ml,, it4h . , ,. , . , , ments or tho conference, which lias been in session at tho White House for threo days, cannot bo set forth with mathematical precision. That its im mediate results aro more than ample ia tho expression of President Roosovelt, who brought it about, and of tho gov ernors who participated. Tho printed record of tho conference, which will later be available to very American home, will be a compilation of facts, startling in their meaning, convincing in their universal conclu sion, that the states and the nation must co-operate to the end that to the whole people of the nation way accrue the Lasting benefits of its natural resources. Besides the compilation of facts by tho experts and the freely expressed opinion of the governors, the conference loaves as its permanent record a thousand words of "declaration," not a "dec laration of independence," but a dec laration of cooperation." Perhaps greater in importance than all else was the determination of the governors of tho states to perfect & per manent organization, whereby a here tofore unknown intimacy may bo devel oped among the executives of tho 46 i sovereign states made strong by a com mon purpose and made potent by pro nouncements which may not lightly bo disregarded. Of tho last day the story is one of many features. The set programme was swept aside. Tho president presided throughout. Ho interjected remarks 'and speeches. He brought to tho plat- ; form men who made plain tho prevail ; ing feeling that thoughtful caro must bo exercised for the future. The pre pared papers were not presented, but they will be printed in the permanent record. Their place was first taken by tho "declaration," which was adopted after discussion which brought to light no serious objection to its aflirmatiou. Then William J. Bryan was presented by the president. He touched tho samo chords which had produced tho vibra tion of harmony and co-operation. A. governors' discussion brought many state executives to the platform, but the product was altogether that of har mony, and the sentiments expressed were applauded alike by all. PRESIDENT UPHELD BY COURT Negro Dismissed at BrownsvilleJjLoses; Suit to Recover Pay. New York, May 16 The right of President Roosevelt summarily to dis miss a negro soldier of the Twenty-fifth infantry for alleged participation in tho riot at Brownsville, Tex., was sustained today by Judge Hough, in tho United C . v . t ' 4 ' , . , . States district court. Oscr W. Beid, I the soldier, sued the government to re cover $122 as wages from tho date of j ,lis. dismissal to the expiration of his enlistment,, uisirict .ftiiorney Burnson, contended that the president had a right to dismiss tho soldier. Judge Hough sustained this contention and directed a judgment in favor of tho government. Judge Hough in his decision, held that the president was entirely within the enlistment papers and oath pro vide that a soldier shall serve "for tho period of three years unless soonor dis charged by proper authority." Chinese Revolt is Serious. Shanghai, May 16 The Chinese gov ernment is greatly alarmed over tho j Chinese revolt, which is steadily grow ing moro serious. The rebels have cut off communication to Mengtso. It is estimated that, tho revolutionists mim ber 10.000. The fact that the rebels selected Yunnan ns the scene of their first attack convinces Peking that they are familiar with conditions, m this province is poorly protected. Tho gov ernment is not hopeful of saving Meng tso, which is at the head of the French railway, from being taken. Seven Killed in Wreck. Muskogee, Okla..
