GIFFORD PINCHOT IS OBJECT OF
BIG DEMONSTRATION AT
ST. PAUL.
X
EX-FORESTER SHEDS TEARS
Opposing Ideas Concerning Conserva'
tion of Natural Resources Are Pre-
sented Before Congress by Senator
Beveridge and James J. Hill.
St. Paul , 1linn.efore the con-
servation congress here Wednesday
Senator Beveridge in an eloquent
speech argued for national control of
conserving the natural resources of
the country , while James J. Hill spoke
squarely against that idea.
Gifford Pinchot received an ovation
that furnished the most dramatic mo-
ment of the congress. The former
forester , the object of a wild demon-
stration by the audience , stood with
tears streaming from his eyes until
the outburst of cheers had subsided
and the spectators were seated.
Just what Senator Beveridge was
trying to say complimentary to Mr.
Pinchot was drowned in the roar that
rose the moment the trend of his re
marks became apparent.
"Gifford Pinchot , " said the speaker ,
and the outburst started. It grew un
til every one was yelling and the
whole house was on its feet waving
hats and handkerchiefs.
Senator Beveridge had no sooner re
tired than cries of "Pinchot ! Pinchot ! "
rang through the house. He was
dragged forth by President Baker.
His voice shook as he spoke.
"It is magnificent , " he said , "to hear
the sound policies of conservation ac
claimed as has been done here. Con-
servation has won out. I thank you. "
Senator Beveridge sounded his key.
note in the statement that this is one
nation , not forty-six nations.
He said in part :
"Co-operation of municipality , state
and nation to correct past mistakes
and preserve and administer for the
general good of all the people the
natural resources yet remaining-this
is the policy of common sense and
common honesty. Strife and division
to the end that the reign of waste and
pillage under the falseness of devel-
opment shall go on" and the feverish
upbuilding of private wealth upon the
ruins of the people's resources shall ]
continue-this is the policy of private
avarice and private plunder. Forests
and coal , water powers and phos-
phates-must be kept and developed
for the benefit of all the people.
Mr. Hill said that there are dangers
Inseparable from national control. The
machine is too big and remote , he
said , and its operation too slow and
costly.
Continuing , Mr. Hill said :
"To pack the fact into a single
statement the need of the hour and
.
the end to which this congress should
, devote itself is to conserve conserva-
tion. It has come into that peril which
no great truth escapes-the danger
that lurks In the house of its friends.
It has been used to forward that seri
ous error of policy , the extension of
the powers and activities of the na
tional government at the expense ol
those of the states. The time is ripe
and this occasion is most fitting for
distinguishing between real and fanci-
ful conservation and for establishing
' a sound relation of means to ends.
"Toward the conservation of our
mineral resources little can be done
by federal action. The output is de
termined not by the mine owner , bul
by the consumer. "

LORIMER IS BARRED
ROOSEVELT DECLINES TO SIT
WITH ILLINOIS SOLON AT
BANQUET.
COMMITTEE GETS ULTIMATUM
Colonel Demands That Hamilton Club
Withdraw Invitation-Telegram Is
Sent Asking Senator to Be Absent
From the Dinner.
Freeport , 111. - Colonel Roosevelt
and Senator Lorimer did not sit at
the same banquet table Thursday
night. While here Mr. Roosevelt posi-
tively refused to attend the dinner
given by the Hamilton club at Chi
cago if the junior senator . from Illinois
was to be present.
A committee of 16 members of the
Hamilton club , headed by ex-Judge
John H. Batten , came to Freeport
from Chicago in a special car and met
Colonel Roosevelt , who attended the
county fair here. They came to make
arrangements for the dinner. The
committee men met him at the fair
grounds and the colonel at once asked
who was to attend the dinner.
"Is Speaker Cannon to be there ? "
he asked.
"Yes , " Mr. Batten replied. "He ac
cepted the invitation. " i
"How about Senator Lorimer ? " he
asked.
"Senator Lorimer Is a member of
the club , " he was told. "He has ac
cepted an invitation to the dinner. "
"Then I must decline to go , " said
the colonel. He added that he would
feel the same about the presence of
Senator Lorimer as though members
of the Illinois legislature , who are in-
volved in the graft investigation ,
should be present at the dinner.
The members of the committee told
the colonel that they would go back to
Chicago and inform Senator Lorimer
of his views.
"No , " Colonel Roosevelt replied.
' { Send him a telegram telling him
that I will not attend the dinner If
he is there. "
President Batten consented to with-
draw the invitation. The telegram
was written and submitted to Colonel
Roosevelt. He approved it , and Mr.
Batten took the following message to
the telegraph office :
"To William Lorimer , Chicago :
Colonel Roosevelt positively declines
to sit at the same table with you. Our
. invitation to you for this evening is
therefore hereby withdrawn.
"JOHN H. BATTEN ,
"President Hamilton Club. "

UNITED STATES IS VICTOR
AMERICA IS SUSTAINED IN
FISHERIES DISPUTE.
.
Great Britain Wins Point Which She
' Considered Most Important
.
of All.
The Hague.-America gainec a sub
stantiaj \ } victory in the decision of the
International Court of Arbitration on
the Newfoundland Fisheries question ,
handed down. The United States was
favored on five points and Great Brit-
ain on two.
The British consider the two points
decided in their favor , Nos. 1 and 5 ,
as of the highest importance and it
Is understood that the colonial office
is satisfied with the outcome. On No.
1 , however , the United States has
raised certain questions of equity
which will be submitted to a special
commission for determination.
The , court finds that the claims of
Great Britain to a right to prohibit
American vessels from employing for-
eigners and to impose harbor customs
and other duties are not ' authorized
by the treaty of 1818.
The tribunal finds that the regula-
tion of the manner , time , and imple
ments of fishing which Great Britain
enforces must be reasonable and ap-
propriate , but Great Britain cannot
be the sole judge of their reasonable-
ness. In case of disagreement the
question must be determined by anI I
impartial tribunal like The Hague or
by a special commission.
OIL EXPLODES ON WARSHIP

in the great gun target contest to be-
gin September 12 on the southern
practise grounds , off the mouth of
Chesapeake bay.
The navy department , lacking de-
tails of the disaster , Is greatly
wrought up and Is wiring Admiral
Schroeder , in command of the battle-
ship fleet , for particulars. The only
information received here came In
the following dispatch to Acting Sec-
retary of the Navy Beekman Win-
throp , from Admiral Schroeder , at
Fort Monroe :
"While North Dakota was under
way approaching Hampton roads , fuel
oil caught fire in No. 3 fire room , ap-
p'arently near settling tank. Oil fuel

1LINOIS COAL STRIKE ENDS
AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Practically Every Demand of Men Is
Granted - 40,000 Wo.krrsen to
Resume Work.
Chicago. - Forty-four thousand Illi
nois coal miners will resume work at
once after an idleness of more than
five months as a result of an agree-
ment reached between the officials of
the mine workers and the Illinois Coal
Operators' association.
Practically every demand of the men
has been granted. A contract exend-
ing up to April 1 , 1912 , was signed to-
day. '
day.The
The average increase to the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton , or an aggregate of $4,000,000
annually. The installation of safety
appliances and general betterments
which the operators agree to give the
men will increase the cost of putting
coal on the market nearly 12 cents
per ton.
Of the 72,000 miners who quit work
April 1 , more than 28,000 already have
signed up and assume work. The bal
ance will begin active work : so soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation. It is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be in
full operation. Several are in . condi
tion to start mining today.
It is estimated that the strike has
caused a shortage of at least 20,000-
000 tons ; a loss in wages amounting
to $15,000,000 , and a net loss to the
operators of nearly $10,000,000.

STATE PRIMARIES' RESULTS
La Follette in Wisconsin and Charles
E. Townsend in Michigan Win in
Senatorial Fight.
Milwaukee , Wis. - United States
Senator Robert M. La Follette carried
Wisconsin at the recent primary elec
tion by an overwhelming majority
over Samuel A. Cook of Neenah. In Mil-
waukee county the senior senator's
plurality easily will reach beyond
8,000 and estimates are given of his
nomination over his opponent by a
vote of 5 to 1 , a larger majority than
was anticipated.
Tnere is no doubt that La Follette
will have control of the candidates'
platform convention at Madison and
that he will have the next legislature
back of him. So big was his vote
that it carried with it a large majority
of the legislative nominees. The La
Follette state ticket , headed by Fran-
cis E. McGovern , mlso is nominated by
a safe majority.
The "insurgent" congressmen were
renominated and added to their
strength by the nomination of Harry
C. Cochems , the former Wisconsin
university football star. Cochems de
feated Stafford for renomination in
the Fifth district. Cochems is the
man who placed La Follette in nomin
ation for president at the last Repub-
lican National convention.
Congressman Charles H. Weisse
Democrat , easily defeated Burt Wil
liams of Ashland in the race for the
United States senatorial nomination of
his party.
Aside from the Republican state
ticket and the United States senatori-
al contests , few of the nominations
were contested.
Detroit , Mich. - Congressman
Charles E. Townsend is conceded by
supporters of Senator Burrows to have
swept the state in the fight for the
Republican indorsement for United
States senator at the primaries. Town-
! send's plurality Is admitted to be
more than 17,000. Chase S. Osborn of
Sault Ste. Marie has a lead nearly
as good for the Republican nomina
tion for governor. Returns from two-
thirds of the precincts in the state
give these figures :
For senator - Townsend , 48,622 ;
Burrows 31,296.
For governor-Osborn , 38,993.
For lieutenant-governor - Kelley.
