Beverldge, United States er.ator from
Indiana and one of the most prominent ami
consistent cf the "progressive" republicans
cu-ne down from Sagamore Hill yesltrday
with a prjmia from Theodore Roosevt't
tu deliver t campaign speech In Ills
fiiiht fur re-el-.-cltun to the senate. Mr.
Boverid;re . d'epaited content and smiling,
but. h I-ft it for the colonel tit male the
I'.nuiiiico-non t of th! proposed campaign
speech In the senator's t- h.ilf. And this U
what Mr. Roosaveit said;
"Mr. Foulk and Mr. Swift cam to
Bacamoic Hii I just night and spent the
night here. They came to request me to
go to Iudiana and Bpea In behalf of Ven
ator Beverldge. I promised them that I
Would."
He added that he had agreed today tn
make only one speech for the senator, and
as far as U now known, he wih niak only
one. The time and plae for this .speech
have, not boen fixed.
Those who hav followed the political
conferences at Oyster Bay since Theodora
Roosevelt's return, share the belief that
he has ben feeling his way cautiously In
his attitude toward the administration and
the insurenta, but today's incidents are
consider) a the most important yet de
veloped. Senator Beverldge Is making bis
tif.t for. re-eleetlon aa an Insurgent. We
Is opposed by John W. Kern, w ho ran with
Bryan In tha last campaign.
Anlut Taft oi Tariff.
In his flgnt the senator ia placing himself
squarely against President Taft Insofar as
the tariff figures. The law which the presi
dent has defended as tha best tariff meas
ure ever. Is denounced without equlv.ca
tlon by the senator; and the same republi
can state convention which endorsed
Beveritte for another term virtually
repudiated the law. In tha senate
Beverldge fought the bill to the last and
then voted against it.
It Is pointed out.' however, that with this
exception President Taft and the senator
from Indiana bave been pulling together'
as far as administration policies are con
cerned. There has been no break between
them. The president entrusted to the scn
ator the conduct of two administration
measures at the last session of congress
the statehood bill and the Alaska govern
ment bill. And although the senator worked
faithfully with tha Insurgent band in the
senate, and had a hand In the alteration
of President Taffs railroad bill, be sup
ported the administration regularly In thi
last session when the votes were taken.
Sagamore Hill was fairly swarming all
day with men of various political persua
sions. They cams by train and by auto
mobile. They talked politics ail day long,
but as they left town they were unani
mously reticent wiien asked to tall wliat
they knew. Consequently. Oyster Bay la
enveloped tn an atmosphere of deep mys
tery. '
There were three Indianlans among the
visitors. Besides Senator Beverldge, they
were William i'ud.ey Foulko and Lucius
B. Swift of Indianapolis. Three cam from
New Hampshire. Winston Churchill, the
novelist; John Bass, war correspondent.
a:iu n.s oroiner, rtooert . uasa, who Is a
candidate for the republican nomination
for governor.
New York state was represented by Rep
resentative Hamilton Fish and James R.
Sheffield. From Montana there was United
States Senator Tliornua H. Carter.
Hoosevrlt Well Pleased.
Colonel Roosevelt appeared to be well
pleased with the result of the day's work
of talking polities, which began aimost as
soon as he w.is up and lasted well through
the afurnoon. To Interviewers, however,
he would say little concerning the confer
ences, except that he had promised to make
one speech for Mr. Beverldge. Thus those
who sought to Interpret tne day as a gen
eral insurgent rally looking toward the
shaping of Colonel Roosevelt's future at
titude were left In the dark. And as an In
dication that this was not the case, there
was the presence of Senator Carter, a man
who In the past steadily has opposed In
surgency. Senator Beverldge spent only a few hours
at Sagainore Hill, and It was evident that
the press of other visitors and a dinner en
gagement In New York that necessitated
an early return gave him less time than
be wished to discuss the political situa
tion in Indiana with his host.
"I have no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt will
give out anything that he wishes to be
come public about our interview," said Mr.
Beverldge. "1 gave my views on the In
diana situation fully In a formal statement
several days ago."
"Did you come away pleased with the
results of 2 our talks?"
Weverlda ia Happy.
The senator's smilo broadened until he
lauheJ aloud.
"Well," he said, "I have had many talks
with Mr. Roosevelt in the last few years,
but never In my experience hav I had one
nioro satisfactory than today's talk."
Further than this Senator Bcveiidg
would not so.
"I start ou my vacation tomorrow," he
addL-d. "and it ia needless to say thut I to
in a very happy frame of mind."
Senator Beverldge said he came to Oyster
Bay by uppoiulment and that bis visit had
nothing to do with that of tha other vis
itors here today.
"1 found Colonel Roosevelt," he declaied,
"mom ajlve und more interested in things
than iver."
Winston Churchill wss as careful as Sen
utor Lvvendge to keep back any speclf.c
information as to the conversation between
Colonel Roosevelt, the Bass brothers and
himself. "Colonel Roosevelt has been in
terested in the fight in New Hampshire
since It began, in UMi, slun I ran for gov
ernor," he said. "This year Robert R, Bass
of Peterboro is a candidate for governor.
He may b classed with tha insurgents,
but the New Hampshire republican organi
sation has not opposed bis nomination. Mr.
Roosevelt wanted to know about the situa
tion in New Hampshire, and as I am an old
friend of his I came down to tell htm."
Did Mr. Roosevelt indicate what hia at
titude was In regard to the fight in New
Hampshire ?"
hare .Mothing- tbasl Baaa.
"Only by his friendly attitude. He said
nothing to show his views."
Then Mr. Churchill produced a paper on
whl.-h he .had written a statement Her
it is:
"Our whole purpose In New Hampshire
this summer is to make Mr. Bass governor
Slid to eirct a legislature to support him.
We have done nothing else; we bave n.td-
d!vd with nothing else. We know that Mr.
Isass is uncompromising: He has been
with the progressive movement since Its
start He is incapable of making political
deals. The people of the stste tru--( him,
and his nomination and election will be a
ilei.r-cut victor, a signal stag la u.e fight
we begaa four years' ago."
Senator Carter looked gravely at the In

Newell Back fras New York.
WASHINGTON, July 7. Director Fred
erick H. Newell of the reclamation service,
whose differences w-JUi Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger have crealed general
comment, returned to Washington today
from New York, where It was understood
h talked, yesterday wit It former President
Roosevelt.
The unusual reticence of the director con
cerning his New York visit lends color to
the report that one of the objecta of his
trip was to consult with Colonel Roosevelt
concerning the friction with the secretary
of the Interior, over the administration, of
the reclamation service. He refused to ad
mit or deny that be had had a conference
with the former president.
Mr. Newell said he had conferred in Bal
timore and New York with B. N. Baker,
president of the second national conserva
tion congress, which will be held In St.
1-aul September to 9. The program, he
said, would b submitted to both President
Taft and former i 'resident Roosevelt for
their approval.
Secretary Ballinger left Washington today
for a trip of Inspection westward, which
may cover a period of several months. He
was accompanied by E. C. Finney, assistant
to the secretary.and a stenographer. During
his absence he will visit several reclama
tion projects, Indian reservations and na
tional parka.

Of th total withdrawals, Si.J&.l-il acres

Strz for Conservation.
The withdrawal orders, prepared by the
geological survey and approved by the sec
retary of tho Interior, reached Beverly
from Washington late tonight. Thoy were
sent tonight to the Taft cottage on Bur
gess Point, where they were signed by the
president. This was announced as one
of tho few important matters thnt will be
ca!led to .Mr. Taft's attention durirr hi-
ten days of real vacation.
All of tha withdrawals and confirmations
were moue unaer tn new law psaea p.i
the last session of congress, which definitely
authorised the president to withdraw vari
ous lands from entry pending their classi
fication and special disposition by conereps.
The president urged this law as the first
step in his plan for practical contervn.'.on.
He hopes to seoure additional legislation
at the coming session of congress dealtrs
with the terms under which wator power
sites, coal, petroleum and phosphates may
be disposed of.
Ia Colorado the various orders of with
drawal confirmed tonight date from July
a, l'Xm. to June :i, 1910; In Utah from July
7, liicti, to May 8. 1910; in Arisona from No
vember 53, l'AW. to December 2S, laud, and In
Washlngtoa from July 31, 1306, to April i,
1309. In withdrawing the vast amount of
new lands In North and South Dakota, the
president and Secretary Ballinger have
I acted principally on a report by Arthur Q.
Jaffa, a practical miner employed by the;
geological survey, dated December 28, 19"J0,
and further invo:i-atlon by the survey.
Director George Otis Smith of the geologi
cal survey, in h's recommendation for with
drawals in North and South Dakota, says:
"A consideration of the Information avail-
'able here as well as of the report of Mr.
1 Jsffa, lesds us to the conclusion that there
i are large areas In these Slates which are
underlaid by lignite considered workable
I ur.der the present regulations and which
should be withdrawn from entry.
All of the orders stated that the lands
are "withdrawn for settlement, location.
i sal or entry and reserved for examination
and classification with respect to coal
value."
President Taft earlier this week signed
orders withdrawing approximataly S.5UU.0U1
acres of water power sites, phosphate and
patroleum lands In the United States and

Wyoming- Oil Lands.
Secretary Ballinger, prior to leaving for
the west today, announced that the presi
dent, acting under the law permitting him
to withdraw from entry public lands for
examination as to what may be beneath the
surface, had confirmed former withdrawals
of 25,41 acres In Wyoming.
The withdrawals in Wyoming are made
because It is asserted that vast petroleum
deposits Ho beneath the surface and In
order to allow time for the government to
Investigate, this vast acreage Is withdrawn
from entry. These lands, presumably hav-
i.!,! petroleum deposits, are located In sev
eral portions of the state of Wyoming and
have heretofore been temporarily with
drawn under executive orders. The action
announced today merely confirms farmer
withdrawals under authority of the con
servation act

of the opinion that there was no need for
an assistant and he also raised th ques

Th city superintendent said h would
vouch for th qualifications of th candi

no qualifications in its rules. Miss Ethelyn

Parr-has of Lot for School.
The purchase of lots at Twenty-fourth
and J streets to be added to th frontage
of the high school grounds on Twenty
fourth street, which wai? practically agreed
upon in the Tuesday sestlon of th board
Is the occasion of much comment on both
sUIes at present. Th purchuie of th lots
was openly opposed by delegations from
Coirigan addition, which alvised that th
expenditure waa much mors needed in Cor
rlgan addition, where ther ar to many
in attendance that som grades are forced
into th basement rooms.
The board In making th purchase took
the ground thnt th money spent for the
Sit of th manual training department of
the South Omaha High school would not
prevent the necessary improvement In the
Corrljjan school. With the lots pm chased
th school will have more than half th
lots (n thnt block fronting on Twenty
fourth street. Ther ar still three lot
on the southwest comer of the block which
may b purchased to complete th half
block.
Residents of the north and east sides of
the city have been favorable to th pur
chase and have lent support to th board
tn Its efforts to Increase tha high school
grounds. Dr. Mf. J. McCrann said laat
night: "I am oonvlncad that whatever may
be added to th high school grounds, at
whatever price, will b money wdl spent
Tner Is nothing which characterises a
town or city as much aa Its public, schools.
Our high school should front on Twenty
fourth street and all the buildings la front
of It at present should be removed. Visi
tors to South Omaha should see what splen
did equipment we have for high school
duration. An example can well be taken
cf the city of Omaha and what has ben
done there for its liiga nt-hot.4."
The purchase price of the two corner
lots was $17,m0.
