Lincoln , Neb. TJFIIHO III DETERMINED TO PUSH CONSERV ATIVE PROGRAM. INQUIRY WILL NOT DELAY HIM Quoted as Saying He Will Be Able to Point to the First Practical Legislation When Con gress Adjourns. Washington. "Acts rather than dec larations. " President Taft Is reported in this torso way to have ( U'scrlhcd re cently to callers his program for the conservation of natural resources. The president. It Is stated , has declared that when the present session of con gress ends he will bo able to point to the first practical conservation sta tues over placed upon the law books of the nation as an answer to the criticism which has ben directed to ward the white house. Without watting for the Ualllnger- 1'inchot Investigation , Mr Taft soon will begin the preparation of his promised special message on conservation vation , and ho lias recehed assurance from both houses of congress that while some trouble may bo expected In the lower branch , the legislation which the executive will suggest will bo made Into law before the spring ad journment. The president is represented as tak ing the position that there Is nothing In the Ualllnger-Plnchot dispute that has a bearing on his own legislative program , and he will proceed regard less of it. In the preparation of his special message , the president will have the co-operation of Secretary BalHngei and Senator Nelson of Minnesota ct.ilrinan of the senate committed on public lands. It is asserted that in the constructive work of needed legis lation , ( he president has had to de pend almost entirely upon Mr. Ballln- ger , who has been at work for several months on the draft of the proposed statutes that will meet the intricacies of the vexed problem of practical con servation and embody the president's views on this important subject. These proposed new laws are ready to be submitted to the committees of the senate and house along with the spe cial message , the preparation of which the president will begin as soon as he gets the message on the Inter state and anti-trust laws out of the way. way.Unless President Taft abandons a pretty llrmly fixed intention he will not wait for tbo conclusion or over for the beginning of the congression- nl inquiry into matters connected with the so-called Balllnger-Plnchot contrt.- versy before sending to congress hi ? special message on the conservation of national resources. The president Is expected to begin the preparation of this message as soon as he has finished the one deal Ing with proposed amendments to the interstate commerce and anti-trusl acts , upon which he Is now engaged. Furthermoiu , it can be stated that Mr. Taft is confident that the censer vatlon legislation which he proposes will be enacted into law before the end of the present session of congress The new statutes which the friends of the administration declare will be the tlrst that have ever dealt ado- < T"-T.tely with the national resources will be President Tuft's answer to so much of the criticism as has been dl reeled against him Senator Knuto Xelson of Minnesota chairman of the senate committee on public lands , is co-operating with the president in the matter of conscrva tion laws and has assured him that there will bo no difficulty in putting those laws through the senate. In the house there is likely to bt some opposition , but the presldon feels sure it can be overcome and that the laws will stand approved before the summer comes. White house callers who have talked with President Taft on the sub ject describe him as believing that he wil ! best prove his friendship for the "Roosevelt policies" of conservation by putting laws on the statute books that will actually carry those policies into effect. The real problem to be solved is how best to dispose of the public1 lands containing water power sites , coal and phosphates. Such lands have beei withdrawn from entry during the general oral land laws , but they cannot bo boh indefinitely and there Is no specific law governing their ealo or lease. It is-generally admitted that the resources sources must bo developed ; that the coal and phosphate must be taken ou by private capital and yet there must at the same time bo safeguards against monopoly. These are the Intricacies with whicli congress will have to deal Drag Chinese From Berths. Denver. Federal officers In Denver dragged two Chinese out of their berths in Pullman sleepers and wil send them to San Francisco for depor tation. The officers say the orientals are members of the band of eight Chinese who swam the HIo Grande river several nights ago , six of them being captured at Dallas.

There Is not a man , woman , or child along the thoroughfare who will ad mit ho or she was not at the presi dent's side. Nearly 2,000 white collars ont by n Brooklyn laundry the next day aided the men of the Bowery to show they appreciated the visit After the free distribution of laun dry nt the mission the mon gazed nt one another and waited for the next miracle. "Tho men arc just dazed , and that s the only term that expresses it , " said J. T. Hunt , who has charge of the abor bureau of the mission. "They cannot realize the president of this country really came down-hero to talk with them. " As ho was speaking a mild man nered six foot two of humanity , with a two days' stubble beard , came up to : ho desk and made an attempt at n bow. EW YORK. "Yes , I know they say that women have more patience than men , but that's just another of those 'they says , ' " remarked a tele phone girl on day duty at one of the uptown exchanges in an expansive half hour. "If women are more pa tient than men they certalntly don't show it when they use the telephone "When some women give the num ber they want they expect to get their party instanter , or quicker , and if they don't they immediately become catty about it. ' "What is the matter , anyhow ? ' n woman asked me over her wire just about eight seconds after she'd given mo the number she wanted. 'Why don't you give mo my party ? ' " 1 was doing the best I could to get her the number she asked for , but the party didn't reply. I told her so. " 'I don't believe anything of the sort ! ' she shouted into her phone. Affinity Trust at Missouri College . LOUIS. If you visit Columbia ST. and see a man wearing a hunted look , dodging at the mere sight of a girl , don't put him down as a misan thrope , or a football hero trying to escape flattery , or a bashful professor. Ho Inay bo only side-stepping his self- appointed affinity. For the University of Missouri , leader In football and things intel lectual , has an affinity club In good working order. It is composed of half a dozen young women who room at one of the popular boarding houses near the campus. Of course , the af finity idea itself Is old and can't begin to compare with Uncle Joe Cannon as a space-getter in the newspapers. But the young women of the Affinity club have added several brand-new wrin kles to the idea. Each member of the club , as a requisite of membership , has selected "What is it , Jake ? " asked Mr. Hunt "Say , boss , it's this way , " replied Jako. "I'm Just going out to got n job if I have to take it oft somebody. If the president comes down hero to talk to us bums and tolls us wo got n chance , why , wo'rc going to make good. Ho ought to know , hadn't ho ? Guess his word goes with mo. It wo are good enough for him to talk to I'm going to get busy ! " "That's the way it has been going all day , " said Mr. Hunt. " 1 never saw men so deeply stirred. The visit of the president has put moro ambition into them than they have ever before displayed. Just wait and I will show you. " Stopping before GO or CO men , all resplendent in new white collars , Mr. Hunt said to a man whoso collar plainly was too tight and who was proud of his distress : , "Como here , Frank. Tell us Just what you think and what the men are saying about the president's visit. " "Wo don't know what to say , " said the man. "It's Just knocked us clean out. The boys are clean crazy over It Why , wo never thought that the llkoa of the president cared nothing about us here. "We're all Democrats , but here Mis ter Taft comes around and calls us boys and tells us wo is as good as any body. Say , the boys are going to go some now. Wish I could got ono day's work and I'd get a necktie. " Telephone Girl Scores Her Own Sex 'Give mo the manager this instant ! I'll sco if I am going to bo treated this way. " "Of course I gave her the manager , and she told him a long story nboul how she was being imposed upon by the exchange girls. Fortunately though , she is on the list of terrors wo call them terrors when wo want to bo real polite and terriers when wo don't have to bo polite and BO the manager after asking mo about the case let it go. "The most nonsensical accusation that women are forever making against exchange girls is thut the girls are eavesdropping on their phone conversations. Such a thing of course Is perfectly impossible , for the very simple reason tiat } a girl working a a board hasn't one instant of tlmo to do anything like that. " ' ' 'Give me the manager , a woman said to mo over the phone a whllo ago before she had asked for the number " 'Do you wish to make a com plaint ? " I asked her. " 'I wish , ' she replied In a severe tone , 'to have a very private con versation with my lawyer , and I wan to talk with the manager first to as certain if ho will assure me that my conversation will not be listened to. an alunlty and has told his name to the other girls. The rules of the or ganlzation requires that she shal have had only the most distant speak ing acquaintance with the Fortunate One or the Victim , depending on the point of view The choice is final ; the rules prohibit changing affinities. Ilav ing made her choice , the young worn an strives to obtain some marked recognition from her affinity. The penalty for failure is a "tubbing. " The open season for the affinities closed at Christmas. If before tha time any member of the club did not succeed In having her affinity pay her some "special attention , " she was to take a "tubbing" in the presence of the members who have "mado good. " And the water wasn't to bo warm , cither. "Marked attention , " as denned by the club , means an invitation to dance or to go to the theater or a request to call. A stroll on the campus wouldn't do. One young woman appealed to the sister of the young man she had chosen. The sister told the affinity what a fine girl "So-and-So" was , and urged him to call on her. The broth er remained obdurate. "Oh , You Kid ! " Ditty Breaks Up Church . "Oh , you kid ! " the stale CHICAGO. ditty of the five-cent theaters and the vaudeville houses , was hashed into a sacred anthem In Geneva several nights ago with disastrous results tea a prayer meeting at ono of the churches. Since then the pastor and the dea cons have been searching for the ir reverent-member of the choir who an nexed the phrase to the hymn with a lead pencil. With much indignation they asserted that ho is a ( It subject for conversion of a muscular kind. The quotation made Its fatal en trance into the prayer meeting during a solo that was rendered by a so prano during the hush which followed a solemn exhortation by the preacher. Th services had been fervent. Tlio pastor had preached a stirring little sermon and 10 to 12 of the laymen had given their testimony. From the sober looks of several young men and women on the back benches it looked as if converts were soon to be gath ered in , when the spell and spirit of the meeting were broken by the words of the frivolous song. The pastor had closed his exordium and had announced the solo. The young woman lifted her voice in song. She put so much fervor Into the music itself that she followed the words blindly and sang the anthem exactly as it had been revised with pencil by a practical Joker. "I love my God , " sang the soprano In swelling note. "I love my God , " the singer repeat ed , putting on the crescendo for n climax , "I love my God , but , oh , you hid ! " The choir ant ! congregation went into hyuiwica , the prospective con verts gasped and then guffawed , and before order could bo restored tH shocked and scandalized pastor dis missed the mooting without waitiis for the benediction.
