'From a Staff Orrespondenf.
WASHINGTON, May .-8rc1al.)-HI-
tnry will be made at this Wek"a White
House conference on ratursl resources,
unless all signs fall. For history making
(tie conditions are remarkably favorable.
Never before has a president of the United
States conferred with all the governors of
the states. Never before has the White
House, with Its long record of soclsl and
state functions, sheltered a large conven
tion called for the consideration of a great
public Issue. And never before ha the
whole broad question of the conservation
of this country' natural resources been
brought before a great deliberative body
as the sole subject of It consideration.
The reception accorded this project Indi
cates that the people of the country expect
definite results of a fax-reaching character.
But no cut-and-drled program will be pre
sented for the consideration ot the gov
ernor and delegates. After hearing from
experts the conditions which the country.
Is facing the members of the conference
will themselves decide whether anything
ought to be done, and what. Some have
suggested the advisability of forming a
great national organization to carry for
ward the plans originated In the confer
ence. The probability Is that, at th least,
some basis will be laid for future co-opera-tlon
between the federal and state govern
ments In a vigorous policy of conservation,
for one of the things which will be shown
most forcibly at the conference I that
neither the states nor the federal govern
ment can make satisfactory headway Inde
pendently. Meeting; to Be Hlatorle.
Tbe present situation la much the same
ns wa faced Just before the adoption of
the federal constitution, and the more en
thuslastlc believe that the coming confer
ence will have Just as far-reaching result,
and become quite as historic, aa those meet
ings which led up to the formation of the
constitution. They recall that the whole
question of a constitution had II direct
Origin In a meeting promoted by George
Washington for tha consideration of the
control and development of the Potomac.
That conference met at Alexandria In V7R5
and consisted of representstlves from Vir
ginia and Maryland. But It was decided
that the questions Involved were too exten
sive for two state to handle, and so an
other conference wa called to meet at
Annapolle In 178. More of the state were
represented here, but still not enough. And
so the third conference was called to meet
the following year In Philadelphia. This
conference, at which all of the statea were
represented, developed Into the constitu
tional convention and became the most Im
portant meeting In American history.
The detailed arrangements for the con
ference accord with the Importance of the
discussion and with the prominence of the
men In attendance. For the meeting the
famous East room of the White House will
be quite transformed. Along the east wall
will be placed a combined framework and
platform fifty-two feet In length and nine
teem feet high. This will be artistically
covered with green velvet, trimmed with
gold rope. The purpose of such a large
framework la to afford a proper setting
for two giant maps of the United States,
made by the forest service, to which con
stant reference will be made.
Iletalla of Illustrations.
At the center of the framework, and be
tween the maps, will be a unique arrange
ment for the display of Illustrations. In
the framework at a convenient height will
be a rectangular openlivg measuring three
by four feet. To fit Into this opening a
large number of hand-colored transparencies
have been made. The pictures closely ac
cord with polnta which will be made In
various addresses, and the appropriate
transparency will be revealed at the proper
point In the talka. The light for the trans
par ncy- will come from a window Just In
the rear of the framework. Arrangement
have been made for changing the pictures
with quite aa great ease and celerity a I
possible in the use of the stereoptlcon.
This method of Illustration la believed to
be entirely new In public meetlnga, and It
Is not likely to be duplicated very often
because ot the labor and skill Involved In
making the transparencies. Originally the
transparencies are photographic print of
large else made upon glass. Then the
print are colored by hand and are mounted
In front of ground glass to secure the
proper lighting.
The two maps are the largest, so far
a is known, ever made by mechanical
process. aoh measures twelve by sixteen
feet and each la colored to graphically
show the various resources of the coun
try. One of them 1 devoted to mineral
resources and the aecond to all other re
sources. Both the maps and the trans
parencies ar so elevated that the view
will not be obatructed by the' speakers
or by the presiding officer, who will oc
cupy the raised platform running along
the front of the fraraewurk.
Heals for the Governors.
Tl.e governors will occupy tile seats of
honor Just In front of tho platform. Tbese
eats will be reserved for them, but all
the other conferee and delegates will be
seated In the order of their arrival at each
meeting. The latter will be accommodated
with the chair which are used at Whit
lliune mualcales. but for the governors
will be provided larger chalra. The seats
will be arranged In eml-rlrcular form,
with aa aisle running east and west
through th center tt the room. Pro
vision will be mad at the front of tha
rwm for a limited number of newspaper
ajij magaslne writer.
Attendance at the sessions will be care
fully restricted t those connected with
the conference. It ha com to the knonl
rOg of the Whit House that tourists
and other are planning to visit Washing
ton at th time ef tbe conference la er-
iConuaued pa fourth Pago.)
BURKETT FOR MOTHERS DAY
for Filial Affection, hot rn
ate Rnlks.
WASHINGTON. May ".-Senator Rur
kett's resolution declaring tomorrow, Msv
18. be "Mothers' day." to be recognised by
the senate and employes of that bodw by
the wearing of a white flower, waa the
subject for an extended discussion in the
senate today. The question came up Im
mediately after the senate convened st 11
o'clock and the extra hour gained by meet
ing at that time was devoted to the sub
ject with the result that In the end the
measure was referred to the Judiciary
committee. The committee fallei to take
up the subject for Immediate consideration
and thu Indirectly hut effectually minified
the resolution, which tf It had become ef
fective at all must have been acted upon
today.
When the resolution was called up Mr.
Kean of New Jersey suggested to substi
tute the fifth commandment, "Honor thy
father and thy mother that thy days may
be long In the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee."
Mr. Clapp of Minnesota offored an, amend
ment making the practice suggested annual.
A motion to send the resolution to the
committee on, the Judiciary was made by
Mr. Fulton of Oregon, who explained that
there should be no invidious distinction
against the fathers or .the grandfathers,
cousins, etc. 'Everybody," he said, will
agree to have a day for the mothers-in-law."
Mr. Burkett explained that he had
been requested to Introduce this resolution
by Young Men' Christian association
workers, Mr. Kean retorting that he had
never heard of it.
Senators Galllnger, Teller and Heyburn
objected to the resolution as an improper
one for legislation.
A motion by Mr. Burkett to Instruct the
committee to present an Immediate report
was laid on the table, and a remark by
Senator Teller to tho effect that the hour
had been wasted called out an Impas
sioned speech by the Nebraska senator as
to the necessity for a proper display of
filial sentiment.
FOUR YOUNG WOMEN DROWNED
Boat Cnpslses In Neosho River at Em
poria, Kan., nnd They
Meet Death.
EMPORIA. Kan., May 9. Four young
women, ranging in years from m to 20. were
drowned last night in the Neosho river at
Hartford, near here. The boat in which
the party was riding capsized. The dead
are:
EI. MA WEBSTER, aged IS.

and Howard I.yon they were cruising In a
gasoline launch. When the party was a
short distance above the dam at the Hart
ford mill the supply of gasoline gave, out
and the engine went dead. Stelnhouse, who
was acting as engineer, could not swim.
Lyons got out of the boat, endeavoring to
turn It and run It ashore, but his strength
gave out and the launch, wltlt all Its occu
pants, yielding to the swift current, swept
over the dam. Lyon rescued Msry Griffith
and Carroll Lyttle, while Kate Grifftli
floated down the river sortie distance and
w t-rscued by a passerby attracted by her
screams. Only the body of Edith Webster
has been recovered.

of
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Strong efforts
will be made. It is said, to have congress
adjourn not later1 than two weeks from
today. Representative Tawney announces
that the house committee on appropriations,
of which he Is chairman, will begin work
on the general deficiency bill today and
that he will try to report the measure by I
next Thursday. This Is the last of the big1
appropriation bills and It frohahly will ga
through the house without much discus
sion. The public buildings bill will be reported
by the committee on buildings and grounds
aa soon as Chairman Bartholdt is sure of
a right of way for It. It Is conceded that
this measure will be rushed through th
house.
A leader In the senate and an Important
member of the finance committee Is quoted
as saying yesterday that he believed con
gress would be able to adjourn on May 23.
The only legislation which he thought prob
able outside of the appropriation bills, a
child labor bill for the district and possibly
a campaign publicity bill, was an emerg
ency currency bill.

Belle Herron, widow of Frederick B. Her
ron, former vice president of the Sethness
Chemical company of Chicago, was ar
rested by Syracuse detectives In a Pull
man sleeper this morning on suspicion of
being Mrs. Belle Guinness, the La Porte
alleged murderess. Mrs. Herron quickly
was able to prove her Identity and will go
on' to New York this afternoon.
The young woman, who answers the de
scription of Mrs, Guinness only In being
considerably above the average In height
and weight, characterized her arrest as an
outrage, without the shadow of an excute.
She had come from Franklin, Pa., where
she has a summer home, and was accom
panied by her mother, Mrs. Lucy Burton.
She said that she boarded the train at
Cleveland, O., and was on her way to
New York to visit her sister. Mrs. Charles
V. Rockefeller of No. S17 West Fortieth
Street. She telegraphed Mrs. Rockefeller,
telling her of her detention and asked her
to wire corroboration of her story.
Mrs. Herron Is still In the matron'
rooms at police headquarters. An effort la
being made to have her sign papers releas
ing the city of Syracuse from liability' for
her arrest.
Body Not That ot Mrs. Gnlnness.
LA PORTE, Ind., May S.-Dr. H. H. Long,
me of the physicians who performed tho
autopsy on the body of the woman found
in the runs of the Guinness home, after
the fire, today mads the following state
ment :
"In my opinion the body of h woman
found In the house 1s not that of Mrs.
Guinness. '
"A strange coincidence la that the fore
heads of all the children were burned at
the same place. This Is extraordinary. A
skull crushed by a blow at any point and
then subjected to fire, would be more likely
to burn away at that point than at sound
places, as the heat and fire ,would reach
the bony structure and thus attack the
cartilages from both sides. The theory
that her head has been entirely burned
away Is disproved by the fact that being
subject to the lame intensity of heat and
flatties, and being harder, It could not have
burned away as easily as the skulls ot the
children.
"The body at the morgue is not that of
Mrs. Guinness, because It is not correctly
proportioned. It Is that of a rather plump
woman of the same general contour of
Mrs. Guinness, but weighing between 160
and 160 pounds. Mrs. Guinness was literally
a succession of billows of flesh, and weighed
fully 226 pounds.
Fingers Well Cared For.
"The arm that wa burned off was found
beside the body and is well formed. The
fingers show evidence of careful manicur
ing and ' that was something . that Mrs.
Guinness knew nothing about.
"Basing my statements on the statistics
and figures of eminent physicians of tills
country and Great Britain, I find that the
body at the' morgue is almost five inches
shorter than the body of Mrs. Guinness
would be In under similar circumstances.
The fire would, of course, cause the body
to loose weight, but the general physical
outline of the woman would remain.
"Mra. Guinness wa a woman of un
uaual appearanre. She waa large, honey,
powerful looking, with square Jaws and
black eyes. She was a woman who would
attract attention anywhere from her lack
of womanly characteristics. She wore a
large fur coat during the winter, and her
long strides, together with her remarkable
countenance and her generally vicious ap
pearance, gave her an aspect that was al
most terrifying."
' Work of Digging: Resumed.
The work of digging- on the Guinness
farm was resumed today, only one man,
however, being put at work.
The local authorltiea are endeavoring to
trace a younij man named Canary, who, ii
la believed, may have been one of the vic
tim of Mr. Guinness. A letter was re
ceived this1 morning from bis mother, -Mr.i.
J. M. Canary, Tina I-ake, lnd., saying that
her son, who was about 20 years of age,
has completely disappeared and that slm
has had no word from him for almost twu
years. It 1 known that young Canary
worked for Henry Bizge, who lled abui.
one quarter of a mile from the Guinness
farm. Ho disappeared entirely In June,
liiWi. Mr. Canary declare In her l iter
that the boy wa not Intellectually bright
and says that he at one time burned an
empty cottage for the pleasure of se.-ing It
destroyed. It I known that h waa around
the Guinness place at various times. On
circumstance which la considered to be
against his having been killed by Mrs.
Guinness ia the tact that tha boy rarely
had any money with him.
About one year ago a man arrived in La
Porte from some place In th state of New
York. He aald that he had made arrangti
mvuts to work' for Mrs. Guinness and that
shu was going to buy a horse and buggy
wlich he had. He haa never betn liejrd
of since l.e went to the Oulnness farm and
his buggy wss today Identified whl e stand

Abandonment.
SIOUX FA LI A 9. P.. May .-tnecUH-The
latest sensation In the locsl divorce
colony wss caused by the arrest of Vr.
Ferdinand Ix-wls, a' dentist, formerly of

abandonment. Shortly after his arrest an
officer from New York departed with him
for that city. When Informed that the

view of procuring a divorce.

New York legislature making wife abandon
ment a felony, punishable by several years'
Imprisonment In the penitentiary. Before
his departure for New York In custody of
Detective Rogens Dr. Lewis stated that Just
as soon as he got out of his trouble In New
York he would return to Sioux Fall and
again take up his residence here.

Teller and Senator Fulton, who hammered
the resolution until hardly anything re
mained, the senate, by a vote of X3 to 14.
sending tho resolution to the judiciary com
mittee, which practically mearrs Its death.
In explaining the resolution. Senator
Burkett said that It was Introduced a a
matter of sentiment, having been suggested
by the Young Men's Christian association,
and he thought. It a mighty good thlrtg to
set apart a day to recall the minds of the
boys of this country to their mothers.
Snatnr Teller thought th resolution ab
surd and puerile, while Senator Pulton
thought It Just as essential to have a
mnther-ln-lawa' days and a day for "Our
Uncles. Cousins and Aunts."
Senator Teller, after a vot had been
taken, said that the senate had wasted
nearly an hour In conalderatlon of a resolu
tion "which should never have been brought
up."
This led the senior senator from Nebraska
to make a vigorous reply In which he de
clared the senate might much better spend
a few minutes In considering the subject of
Mothers' day than to spend day after day
In wrangling over forest reserves and other
features of the agricultural bill of tittle
consequence to the country at large. It
was his opinion that senator will see time
