CARTHAGE. Colombia. 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

ALL ROADS TO WHITE HOUSE
Nation Interested in Coming Confer

IN NO SENSE POLITICAL ISSUE
Can atrial Ian Proleets .W III In

(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

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.

In the dry-season the five reservoirs will
become tho means of swelling the flow of

reservoirs tho water will be gradually re

history of the country.
"The "replies to the Invitation have been
most gratifying. They Indicate that prac

special advisers, will attend the conference.
Tho senators and representatives of the
sixtieth congress, the Justices of the
supreme oourt, and the members of the

and the Inland Waterways commission,
which suggested the conference, will be
present to reply to Inquiries and make
record of the proceedings.

The first convention of the General

How we long for the presence of those
faithful early workers on this return, when
we come like children to the mother. .We
shall bring rich trophies of work accom
plished, we shall tell tales without number
of successes and failures, we shall speak
of grand projects for the future.
It la the aim of the program committee
for this convention not to present abstract
themes, not ta hear elocutionary arguments,
but to give clear reports of work already
done and specific statementa of work yet
to He accomplished. ,
There will be some men . upon the pro
gram, and many women, there will be
music and excursions and social, affairs.
The biennial Is not for- thedlsplay' of fine
attire. It Is not to exploit people. It, Is
the .coming- together- of earnest -women
from north, south, east and west, who for
One week; at least, forget local and sec-'
tlonai desires In the mightiest problems,
which concern the. physical, Intellectual,
and spiritual welfare of the nation to be. -
May the attendance be larger than ever
before, may there be great progress made
In fellowship and friendship, may there
be much happiness and no sighing, may
courage and faith be stimulated, and may
there go out from this biennial a pulse
which shall send the life blood of unselfish
service, of the law that "upon whom
much Is bestowed much Is required." Into
the hearts and ilves of the women of
America?
