May 4.-The gov ernment of Colombia has reason to believe that , the government at Panama Is In triguing wlti "Venezuela to declare war upon this country. It Is known that the occupation of! SuradQt which la on the Atrato river, the boundary line between Panarna . and Colombia, has angered the Panama government. The occupation of Jurado waa done on the advice of the American government, which held that It was clearly within Colombian territory. The attitude of the government of Panama has given the United States great deal of solicitude. One of Secretary Taft's chief missions Is to try and adjust the matter. It Is Bwliev'ed that the American govern ment disapproves of the effort of Panama to Induce Venesuela to make war upon Ualombia. v riremea ta IU Taaraameat. aUOl'X FALLS, 8. D..

IN NO SENSE POLITICAL ISSUE Can atrial Ian Proleets .W III In ralrnlaMr Reaeflt a Western ( soslrr mi ta Irvlgatloa a ad Vmrtr Plaaa. (From a Staff Correspondent, WASHINGTON. May 4.-(PplHl.)-Tho romlng conference of governors at the White- house promises to be a great love feast, at .which men of the. greatest di vergence of views on politics and other quesUons will Join In a mighty 'chorus In behalf of the conservation tt natural re toruces. Those who are In close touch with the conference araugementa declare they have never known another, movement which haa been greeted with such quick and enthusiastic popular approval. An Indication of public opinion la af forded by the great mass of correspond ence pouring Into the White house on this subject. Organizations of all sorts express realization of tho greatnes of the enter prise, and request that they b'. given rep resentation by delegates, individuals Ih great numbers are sending requests that they be alowed to attend In their private capacity. These letters are beonmlng of such volume that the stenographers at the White house are working over time, and Secretary Ijeb fears that he will ulti mately be driver! to the neclsstty of pro viding a circular letter, which can be mailed to all persona and organisations making aplicatlon. Information Is con stantly received, too, that tourists from all parts of the country are planning to be In Washington at the time of the confer ence, In the hope that they may attend at least a part of the proceedings. Because of the limited capacity of tho east room al such organizations and Indi viduals are necessarily meeting with dis appointment. None can be admitted ex cept those provided for in the Invitation list and the press. ot a Political , Matter. That conservation of national resources is nothing about which the politlral par ties wish to raise an Issue Is Indicated by the atitude pf the democratic leaders. Both William Jennings Bryan and Gov ernor John A. Johnson, leading candidates for the democratic presidential nomination, have written to Prealdent Roosevelt ex pressing their approval. Equally emphatic endorsement. It Is understood, has bean voiced by Grover Cleveland. Mr. Bryan's letter to the president reads: I greatlv appreciate your kind Invitation and shall take pleasure In attending the conference on the conservation of natural resources. I am. I beg to asure you. In hearty -sympathy with the purpose of the conference, and I have no doubt that the discussion of the subject will be very help ful to us all. All of the fifty rational organizations which will be represnted by delegates have expressed approval of the purpose of the conference, and nothing but approval "Is voiced In the letters from the governors. And now chambers of commerce and boards of trade, throughout the country are adopt ing resolutions commending the president's course and advocating a policy of prudent conservation. The lead In this movement has been taken by. the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. The! Pittsburg resolutions call upon the governor of Pennsylvania and the members of the' Pennsylvania con gressional delegation to attend the confer ence. Many 'other commercial organiza tions, following this example, are urging the governors and xongressional delegates of their state to attend tho conference and to lose no chance of boosting the conserva tive movement. Endorsements from All Hides. The American Society of Mechanical En gineers has adopted strong resolutions of endorsement. The Rochester Chamber of Commerce commends the movement, and so the icsolutlons run, from Philadelphia to fW-off; Cheyenne, Wyo. By the time the conference meets, "according to the present outlook, so many endorsements will have been given that the momentum will not only continue through the days of the meet ing, but will extend far beyond. When President Roosevelt confers with the governors next month about the con servation of natural resources, he will have a good Illustration to help In explaining the object of the meeting. He can point to five . Irrigation projects now under con rftruotlon, which prove that more than two birds can be killed with one good conserva- tlon stona. Irrigation and rower. Five Irrigation projects In the west, It wlil be shown at the conference, will give high agricultural value to a total of about 1,000,000 acrea of land. . But Incidentally they will have material effect In doing away with floods, clarifying the waters of the Missouri at Its tributaries, maintain ing a steady flow in those rivers and de veloping a large amount ot power. The five object lessons to which the president will be able to point are the Irrigation projects known as the Milk and Sun river In Montana, the Shoshone in Wyoming, tike Belle Fourche In South Dakota and the North Platte In Wyoming and Nebraska. The effect of these projects upon floods and In regulating the Missouri Is not left to tho realm of speculation. The baais of success In Irrigation, which 1 the chief -object of each project, depend upon catching and holding flood waters, which formerly ran off unhindered, .carrying destruction with them and augmenting the floods of the dread Missouri. In connection with each project a great dam is being constructed. With Its help will be formed a mammoth reservoir, in which the flood waters of the spring and fall will be held In leash. The smallest of these reservoirs will hold enough to cover '.HO.rTO acres of land with water one foot In depth, and the largest will hold enough ro cover 1.025.0C0 acrea to the depth of one foot. Altogether the reser voirs will have a storage capacity of 2,- 6ti,0 acre, feet. ' Storing; I'p Flood Watera. The important point is that It la known through figures gathered during many yeara, that each reservoir Is large enough to hold all of the flood water which Its particular river will pour Into It. For Ita affect on floods the North Platte project will be most notable. The Platte Tlver has a bad reputation for Its antics. It has bean estimated that its flood rampages, before It Joins the Missouri, do a damage ot at least a million dollars a yrar. The dam In connection with the North Platte Irrigation project will cost Just about ll.OOO.OOO, and it will hold more than 1.000,009-acro feet of rood water. Aa the reservoir Is situated at the headwaters of the North Platte, It will have a direct effect upon the lower river. Upon the South Piatt, which also contributes to the floods of the Platte, the government haa no reservoir. But private interests, encouraged by the success of government Irrigation, are already con atructlng dams, and are thua co-operating in restraining floods. In a similar way the Milk and Sun river projects will directly affect the head waters of the Missouri In northwestern Montana; th Bhoshoti projects will affect tha Big Horn, whoa waters urtlmately enter the Missouri; and the Belle Finn oh project will affect the Cheyenne, wh ch has HOTEL ST. REGIS, NEW YORK America's Finest Hotel COMFORT WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE "It Is difficult to Imagine a more de lightful placa. 1n 'which to lire than the St. Regis.

It Is the unlversni senti ment of alt the thoussods who have happily enjoyed its -riospltailty. For particular people there , Is no place like the. St. Kegl. .

Parlor, bed room and bath from 12 upward. The restaurant- charges are no higher than elsewhere. a reputation for floods and which adds to the volume of the Missouri. The holding of 2,583,770-acre feet of water by these five reservoirs means more than accomplishing Juat that much In prevent ing floods. It tueanrthat those waters lose their power to , carry-down mud and flit Into the Missouri. And if It were not for mud and silt, the Missouri would not have such a bad reputation. It Is this burden of solids. which clogs Its channel und which causes the cutting of nrwchannels and the destruction of agricultural land. Water Back to Streams. In the dry-season the five reservoirs will become tho means of swelling the flow of the Missouri and Its trlbutatlrs. From the reservoirs tho water will be gradually re leased. Much of It' 'will be used for Irri gation, but not ;all. And that which Is used upon the .land. It la estimated upon good authority truit about .10 per cent will find its way bAcK Into the streams, largely through seepage. . . All of these Irrigation projects except the Milk will guarantee to each neighborhood abundance of very cheap power.

The In stallation of the- necessary machinery and the operation of' tha plant will be In the handa of the federal" government tempor arily, the reclamation acts providing the necessary-' legaf authority. 'Power will be sold at cost. 'an-"allowance being made only for operatldn maintenance and deprecla tion. At the end ft ten' years, after the cost of thej rejriamatlon construction has been mode good - by the - landowners, the electrical plant will pass Into their posses sion. - Thus-the communities in the vicinity of each of the four projects, will guarantee perpetual ownership of a" public utility which will become more and more prized as the fuel supply diminishes.

In striking contrast to the disposition of men only a few years ago to treat the woman's" club movement as a Joke when It was recognized at all.
