ternatlonal obiia-
tra session. If neces- '
sary. to secure action on the reciprocity
agreement. That session would be tabled
immediately following the adjournment of
J congress at noon on March I.
while It Is the evident purpose of the
president to avoid an extra session by in
ducing senators to art upon the agreement,
it ia the opinion of many that that the
statement hsa coma too late. Few senators
predict that action will be taken on the
agreement In the senate at this session,
while some Insist there will be a vote.
With appropriation bills In a congested
condition.' with th Lorlmer case pending,
tha permanent tariff board bill pressing for
consideration, the general aervure pension
bill being urged by many senators, and the
resolution for the popular election of sena
tors coming up daily as the unfinished bus
iness. It aenis the chances for action on
tha reciprocity agreement are alight.

There is some prospect that the Ix rimer
case may ba disposed of Wediesday. fol
lowing a apeeeh which Senator Lorlmer will
make in his own behalf, but there is no
apparent likelihood of early votes on any
of the other Important measures.
Opponents of tha reciprocity agreement in
tha senate are viewing with complacency,
not to say satisfaction, tha congested con
ditions. The demands of tha puolic business
are such that a vote oa reciprocity cast be
avoided easily without tha appearance of a
fill busier.
The bill probably will aot be reported out
of the finance committee before Thursday
a Thasvltsnv"t rhat rime tlicre will re
main only seven and a half legislative, days
of the present session.
Mr. McCall also made tba announcement
that tba president would veto any tariff

-"I Kellers republicans sens tors are

Pinthot. president of the National
Conservation association, whom President
Taft removed from the office of chief for
ester of the United States, today before the
People's Forum of New Kochelle delivered
what be entitled "A Report of Progress."
In the course of his remarks he summar
ised tha achievements In the conservation
of natural resources, w hich he attributed to
the 'progreKBive movement," paid tribute
to the Rooaevelt administration, crediting
it with enormous Influence In awakening
the p-lle to their rights and opportunities,
and said the Pay ne-Aldrich tariff was "the
most powerful single factor In breeding
popular distrust of the old line politicians
and their methods." To that more than all
else, he ssld. was responsible for making
tha last two ytars "the most formative
since the civil war."
In his summary of achievement. Mr. Pln
chot placed first, "the great doctrine of
the conservation of natural resources."
which he said, "has been adopted by the
people of the United Statea once for all as
the rule for their Judgment and action.
"We have checked the GuttKenheirns In
their efforts to absorb A lank and have
opened the way for the use of the vast
resources In that territory mainly for tha
benefit of the people ot Alaska and the
United States' In that connection, the
speaker lauded the services of that "sol
dier of the common good, young lilavls."
snd declared It his belief that "we shall yet
save the coal and all the rent."

Postmaster Thomas's flat denial of the
charce that he had been shaking down
postofflco emplovrs for political contrlbui
tlons. and his explanation that his arbi
trary transfer of Letter Carrier Tillltson
from the route he had served so satisfac
torily for years to a cornfield district on
the outskirts of the city, are not taken to
be the real final word In the matter by tha
postoffice carrier and clerks.
All postofflce employes with few excep

also afraid to open their mouths to say a
word unless with the strictest injunction
that the source of Information will be kept
confidential, pointing, aa they say to the
fate that has befallen Tillltson aa warn
ing of what would happen If the postmaster
should for any reason get it In for them.
Speaking with the assurance that his
name would not be used, one of the best
known carriers said: "It Is notorious
among all of ua that Postmaster Thomas
got his appointment for himself purely by
political wire pulling, and forcing the sena
tors to promise to support him in exchange
for his voting for them as a member of the
legislature. Coming in this way he bad the
idea that the postoffir wss to be used for
