The tariff board will meat In Washington ' on Sep tember 21 and lay th foundation for the beginning of a aolentlflo Investigation of th three moat Important schedule of the Payna-Aldrloh law. The now famous schedule "K," th woolen schedule, which has been both sharply attacked and strongly defended. will have first onoelderatlon. Th cotton achedule and th metal schedule will fol low In th order named. Two others may be added to the immediate task. If It la possible. What they will be la to b de termined. It la understood, however, that th board hopes to have at least five ohedules thoroughly scrutinised during Its first year's work, and It is said such a plan has President Tart's approval. A threatened fight on the part of the late conservation commissioners to place the name of President Taft In th platform aa the great friend of conservation did not materialize on the floor. Under vigorous use of the gavel It did not even get started. nd the name of Colonel Roosevelt was omitted also. Th following were chosen f fleers: President Henry Wallace, t)es Moines. Secretary Thomaa K. Khtpp, Indianapolis. Treaaurer 1. A. Latchaw, Kansas City. Glfford Plnchot and J. B. White of Kan- aaa City declined to be nominated for th presidency and Mr. Wallace was not pposed. The fight for th Insertion of th nam of President Taft started originally at a meeting of state conservation commlsslon- ra. At thla meeting Henry Hardtner of Louisiana declared that th conservation principle favored by the convention were no more those of Roosevelt than of Taft. He asserted with much heat that th con gress waa much less a conservation con greaa than a straight political meeting, th tendency of which seemed to be to exalt Mr. Rooacv:t at the expense of President Taft, Th state commissioners thereupon voted to demand that Taft's nam be mentioned. When this was not done it waa declared that the fight would be carried to the con vention at. the night aesalon. Committee Bar Taft's Name. - Th committee on resolutions of th Na tional Conaervation congress was in turmoil, or verging on It, all day today. Eventually th committee agreed to recommend to a night session of the convention a platform demanding national control of the country's natural resources. Th big fight of the commute masting. which It waa promised would be carried to the floor of the convention at the night aeaslon, concerned th mention of th nam of Theodore Roosevelt aa th originator of th policies recommended by th committee and Ignoring that of Prealdent Taft. Th seaalona of the committee were exe cutive, but reports of the warfare leaked out In part. Speeches were made demand ing that the policies advocated by the con gress not only were those of Mr. Roosevelt, but thoae of President Taft, and that the name of the latter should be specifically mentioned. This occurred during the after noon when there were but eighteen mem bers of th committee present, under the chairmanship of ex-Qovernor Pardee of California. The vote to Include the name of President Taft was lost, S to 10. Convict Shot in Running Away Indian Hides Behind Log and is Un hurt When Guards Open Fire with Guns. 1 WALESTBR, Okl., Sept. I.

V Auto and Buggy Meet on Road Mrs. E. Corneer Sustains Internal In juries as Result of Shock of Collision. In a coll lesion last night at Thirty-first i street and the Boulevard between an auto mobile and a buggy occupied by E. Cor neer. S6W Valley street, his wife and a 4- year-old baby, the buggy was smashed and the occupants precipitated to the road' way. Mrs. Corneer in falling struck one I of the lamps of the auto and sustained in ternal Injuries. The auto was driven by J F.

A new attack was then made to eliminate what was said to be an Injustice to the president, and after three ballots, a motion to eliminate, the nam of Mr. Roosevelt also carried. Mr. Pardee and Frank H, Short, repre senting California Power companies, en gaged in a championship battle during th Ion of th committee on resolutions, Chairman . Pardee surrendered his chair and, advancing to Judge Short shooK hla finger at the latter and said: "You've had your say about state control. Now let me aay to you. Judge Short, that If there Is to be discussion of this question from the California standpoint, there is one more man from that golden state who will be heard. I want to tell you that no roan even though he be from Fresno, and six feet tall, can get away with a bluff, and I'm going to call you." The former executive rose,' his tall form towering over th man seated before him. 'Some people who live In California have orled for state rlghta dishonestly, and I don't mean that for any gentleman in this room. Borne have been only fooled, but I want to say to you that when you give in to the power of state governments the right to dispose of its resources, aa ours have been in California, you give in to the hands of predatory wealth and great cor pora dons the natural resource of this country. Tou see the result of that In Cali fornia. Greece fell when its resources went that way. Rome fell when Its resources mnt that way. The noblemen In the French revolution said to the common pco Die: 'Go eat grass," and we In California, when w protested agtUnst your water com panlaa grabbing up all our water rights ware told to 'go eat grass. Th fight In th committee room started soon after the subcommittee on water had made its report ,W. J. McQee of Wash lnton handed In a majority report, ex plaining that Jt had been carried by a rote ot three to two. Snort Report First. Th vote on Judge Short' minority re port on the floor of the convention waa taken first and lostr-only he and the dele gate from Montana voting in favor of It Mr. Kelaey of Wyoming, who had spoken in favor ot state control, did not answer to the call. The other fellow fell down on you," laughed ex-Governor Pardee, addressing the man from Montana. "I vote aye," the recalcitrant one shouted and the committee laughed. The minority report the one favoring fed eral control waa then submitted and car ried without a dissenting voice, the two states' control advocates not voting. In the course of a vigorous and wildly applauded speech, Francis J. Heney of Cal ifornia said In part: "There are" some evidences that public opinion In thla country doea not have a free chance to operate. I need not mention many instancea to convince you. Ninety per cent of the people of the United States were opposed to men being permitted to make a profit by poisoning a people; they wanted a pur food law, and yet it was locked up on the high shelf in congress for sixteen years until Theodore Roosevelt with the big stick forced it out. Without aid, public opinion failed. What public opin ion failed to do the big atlck accomplished." HESOLl'TIOXS I'PON CONSERVATION Dlatlaet Statement la Favor ( Ka. tlonal Control of Heaoareea. ST. I VA.CU Sept. . The resolutions, aa adopted, follow: The second national conservation con gress, made up of delegates from all sec tions and nearly every, state and territory ot the United States, met at th call of a great moral Issue now In aesalon aa aembled at St. Paul, doea hereby adopt and solemnly declare the following plat form of opinion and conclusion concerning the Inherent rights of th people of the I ntted States: Heartily accepting the spirit and Intent of the constitution and adhering to the trim lple laid down by Washington and incoln we declare our conviction that wa live under a government of the people, by the people, for the people and we repudiate any and all seclal or local Inlwexta or platforms or policies In conflict with the Inherent rights and sovereign will of our people. Recognizing the natural resources of our Country aa the prime baata of property and opportunity, we hold the rights of the people In these resources to be natural and Inherent, and utly inalienable and in defensible .and we Insist that the resources should and ahall be developed, used and nd for power. In not conaumed, are commend the modern ttiat each use of the maters should be mude with reference to all other uses for the public welfare la accordance with tn principle of the greatest good to the greatest number for the longest time. Viewing purity of water supply ai essential to the public health and general welfare, we urge upon all municipal, state and federal authotitles and on Individuals and coi poratlons, requisite action toward purifying and preventing contamination ot the waters. Recognizing the vast economic benefit to the people of the water power derived largely from Interstate streams no less than from navigable rivers, we favor fed eral control of water power development; we deny the right of states or federal government to continue alienating or con veying water by granting franchisea for the use thereof In perpetuity and we demand that the use of water rlghta be permitted only for limited periods with Just compe-i aatlon In the Interests of the people. We demand the maintenance of the fed eral commission empowered to deal with all uses of the waters and to co-ordinate these uses for the public welfare in co operation with similar commissions or other agencies maintained bv the states. Approving the withdrawal of public lands pending classification and the separation of surface rights from mineral, forest and water rights, Including water power sites, we recommend leglslstlon for the classifica tion and leasing for grating purposes on unreserved public lands suitable chiefly for this purpose, subject to the rights or home steaders and settlers or the acquisition thereof under the laws of the United States and we hold that arid and non-lrrlnahle public grazing lands should be administered oy tne government in the Interest of small stockmen and hoine-aeekera until thav have passed Into the possession of actual aettlera. we nom mat the deposits of minerals underlying, particularly mineral fuela. Iron ores and phosphate depoalta, should be leased for limited -Derlods not exceeding fifty years, but subject to renewal, the royalty to be adlusted at more frentient Intervals, such leases to be in amounts to aucn regulations as to prevent monopoly and unnecessary waste. We hold that nhnsnhate Aannalts iiAr- lying the public lands should be safeguarded tor tne American people by appropriate eKiaiuuii ana we recommend tne early Opening of the Alaskan anri nlhp onal fields belonging to the neonle nf th TTnltcri States for commercial purposes on a system of leasing, national ownership to be re- lainea. Other points approved In the platform were: Drainage of swamp and overflow lands, development of navigation through out the rivers and lakes of the country. In vestigatlon of damage done by the smelt ing of copper ores and the utilisation of the by-products In connection with phosphatlc fertilizers; preservation and better utilisa tion of the soils by scientific methods; con' tlnuance of the control of the national for ests by the federal government and the settlement of such public lands aa are more valuable for agriculture; acquirement of lands not useful for other purposes for reforestation; recommending more gener ous support for the forest service and more efficient fire patrol; repeal of the timber and stone law; preservation by the federal government of the southern Appa lachian and White 'mountain forests; con servatlon of migratory birds and wild game animals; Instruction In the public schools on the fundamental doctrines of conserve tlon; prevention of child labor and better protection of child life; Increase of proper safeguards for the protection of life in mining and transportation Industries: es tabllahment of a pubtlb health department by the national government; the mainte nance of a national conservation commie alon and corresponding agenoles by all the states. "Nothing," said the platform, In con clusion, "Is to be construed as questioning the rights of the states or the people of the United State guaranteed under the federal constitution." wear -StMjrea J Our Farnam Street Windows Give Just a Hint of What Awaits Vou in Our Store The "Nebraska" It's to your Interest to see these new garments tt once, not only that TOU may be posted upon the correct styles and shades for this season, but that you may have sufficient time, before Investing, to to make a comparison between the quality of these "Nebraska' clothes and those usually sold at such low prices.
