With a meeting of the full committee of the two houses in conference on tbe wool and free list bills called for tomorrow, Senator La Follette and Representative Underwood, who con stitute the working subcommittee of that organization, spent most of today In an endeavor to place themselves in position to make a full report. They made material progress, but when th two houses ad journed late In the day difference still existed. The confe vees were apart only to th ex tent of H per cent on raw wool, and there was a fair prospect that they would bridge this narrow chssm before tomorrow's moat ing. Mr. Underwood was willing to go to 2714 per cent on ordinary raw wool and Mr. La Follette was willing to come down to SO per cent and to make other compensa tory concessions. There will be little difficulty about agree ing on the free list bill If Mr. Underwood's wish for another senate vote on the house bill Is refused. With a modification elim inating corn from th articles coming in free from Canada, the senate amendments will be accepted, and the senate will de cline to retain the house addition placing lemons on the free list.

That it is amazingly Insufficient ground un which to oaoe each grave imputations as those of Mr. Bryan was shown by the remarkable demonstration of confidence in Mr. Under wood, given by the house democrats, many of them warm and devoted friends of his accuser. There was not one who would question, in a single detail, the truthful ness and Justice of Mr. Underwood's reply. To th contrary, publicly summoned by him to bear witness, they gave silent as sentas they also gave dramatic demon strative assent to every word he uttered In his own defense.

The girl was un harmed and rushed to her home. Her father chanced to be there and he Imme diately made an Investigation, but after a careful and systematic search he failed to find the person who fired the shot. The fact thai the unknown took to flight would Indicate that he had fired at the girl.

" "Sported Facts to'Wilson. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10,-Dr. F. L. Dun lap, associate chemist of the Department of Agriculture, who prepared the memo randum upon which Dr. Harvey W. Wiley was charged with having Illegally em ployed an expert chemist, was a reluctant witness before the house Investigating com mittee today. He explained the Remsen case, but denied that he had made formal charges again Bt Dr. Wiley. Dr. Dunlap .aid that as he presented the matter to Secretary Wilson It was simply a formal statement of the facts. The un usual procedure of having this memoran dum prepared In the offices of Solicitor McCabe of the department instead of in the bureau of chemiBtry was explained by Dr. Dunlap on the ground that it was "an unusually serious case, ' and he did not want It discussed In th bureau of chem istry. Dr. Dunlap said he reported the whole matter verbally to Secretary Wilson and on th latter's suggestion they prepared a written memorandum. The memorandum, dated March 28, was written In Solicitor McCabe's office, said Dr. Dunlap. "Did you not have It prepared In So licitor McCabe's office to keep it from Dr. Wiley's notice?" asked Attorney Davis. "No, to keep It from being generally discussed," was th. reply. "Isn't It a fact that you gave Dr. Wiley no chance to explain the ease when he was In Washington March 877" "That's a fact." Dr. Wiley's attorney persisted in his de mand to know why th. Rusby cas. had not been called to Dr. Wiley's attention when he returned to Washington the day before Dr. Dunlap laid it before th. sec retary.

POLICE CANNOT HANDLE CROWD Wiiou Are Overturned and Loads Scattered In Gotters Thousands of Ton of Food Spoilod Near Famine Conditions. LONDON, Aug. id. The neighborhood of the docks was practically under mob rule today, with the result that there was such a dwindling of food supplies that the metropolis experienced something akin to what might happen if a hostile foreign force should succeed in Interrupting Great Britain's trade routes. Unless good progress is made today in the negotiations looking to a settlement of the strike of dock workers, the calling out of troops seems inevitable, as the po lice are unable to deal with the emergency. The only quarter where relief was ex perienced was Billingsgate. There the striking fish porurs obtained all they wished and returned to work. On the other hand, hundred of railroad car men quit this morning and several stations were practically In a state of siege, strike pick ets preventing by force all attempts to handl. goods. It was th. Intention of the strikers to tie up all street traffic unless their demands were conceded within a fe hours. Should they be successful, London would be perilously near actual famine conditions. The stream of motor traction today was hardly half Its usual propor tions. So short was the supply of petrol that hundreds Of motor busses and tax. cabs were unable to move a wheel. The only traffic passing without fear of Interference was that of vans carrying hospital stores. These were labeled with big Red Cross signs, with a permit from the strike committee explaining that they must not Interfere with them. Until this system of Identification was adopted this morning the hospitals felt a shortage ot Ice and other supplies. Fro It and Vegetables Rottlns;. Thousands of tons of fruit, vegetables and provisions are rotting on th. wharves and In the railway freight depots. Unless they can be moved soon, they threaten to endanger th general health. Among the larger consignments which probably will be a dead lose Is a huge quantity of Cali fornia fruits from the steamer Minnehaha. The central meat and provision markets are short of supplies and prices have ad vanced alarmingly. Today th. temper of th. strikers ap peared ugly and scenes of violence In creased. Throughout ths east end clashes were frequent wherever attempts were made to move a wagon. The men would intervene and brushing aside the Inade quate police squads, overturn the wagons and scatter their loads In the gutter. Po lice charges were made every few minutes, but they were not strong enough to have much effect. Those taking part In the consultative of the Board of Trade, which Is seeking a set tlement state that they are getting nearer a solution each time they meet and are determined to sit throughout tonight, if there seems to be a possibility of reaching a settlement. Detachments of troops arrived her. to day to assist th. police, who have been unable to control the rioting strikers. A fusillade of brickbats and stones met ths soldiers but they finally took up strateglo posjtlons and enabled the pollc through a succession of baton charges to affect a clearance of the provisions and other goods. At the Central railway stations a baton charge was required with each load of goods that left the place and when th. police at last exhausted, retired, their places were taken by mounted men. The trouble with the coal porters was settled at the Board of Trade conference this afternoon. The demands of the lightermen and carmen remain to be ad Juatrd. Troops at Aldershot were held In read iness throughout ths day to proceed to London, X th disturbances continued. Roosevelt says $ develop alaska New Laws Needed that Will Act foi Benefit of the Whole. People. GOVERNMENT MUST CONTROL Syndicates Reoeive Benefit Only as In cident to Conferring: it. TASK NOT VERY DIFFICULT ONE Might Be Necessary to Override Wish of Great Interests. COUNTRY TO OWN THE RAILWAY Former president Say Wonld Be Good Thlna; for Nation to Bnlld Line that Controls Coa IKlelda of Alska. NEW TORK, Aug. 10. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt has an article entitled "Alaska Again" in the current number ot the Outlook. After taking issue with a newspaper statement that during th Roosevelt administration the sum course had been pursued as had been pursued later In connection with Controller bay, Mr. Roosevelt dlscusHes some of the general phases of Alaskan development nd adds: "The government must Itself control the development of Alaska, and adopt as the guiding principle the idea of shaping that development in the interest primarily of the people as a whole, the syndicate or other developing agencies thu. receiving benefit only a. an Incident to conferring It. "I do not think the task Is a very diffi cult one, If only we, the people, personally and through our representatives, approach it with this purpoee clearly In mind, and If we Insist that the agents of government act with an understanding of the needs ot the people and a resolute purpose to see these needs accomplished, even though It be necessary to override the representa tives of the great Interests who wish to prevent Alaskan development unless It Is shaped primarily to benefit those Inter ests." Corrects Misapprehension. Mr. Roosevelt begins his article with a reference to an article from the Washing ton correspondent of the New York Trtbun of July 28. Justifying the withdrawal of the Controller bay lands from the forest re serves on the grounds that similar action had been taken by Mr. Garfield and Mr. Pinchot In eliminating certain areas at Eyak and Valdez Arm from th forest rs- . serves. Mr. Roosevelt continues: "The article assumed that I was deceived by Messrs. Garfield and Pinchot It la hardly necessary to say that any such as sumption must be made either with Intent to be humorous or with a full knowledge of Its falsehood. I was In a peculiar sens responsible for every act of Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Garfield when they held office under mo. They represented to a very espe cial degree ' the policies and principles which I had especially at heart and, while of course there were necessarily many ac tions I took on their recommendation with the details of which it was Impossible for m to be acquainted, I was absolutely and entirely cognizant of the principles In ac cordance with which each on of these acts was taken, and each act faithfully repre sented the putting Into effect of th prin ciples In which I believed and which I had laid down for tbe guidance of my adminis tration. Xakln Oat Town Site. "In every part of the country In which there are forest reserves It has been found, and it will in the future be found, necessary to make eliminations for town sites, for agricultural purposes, for manu facturing purposes, and the like. Each such case stands on its own merits; eaoh such case depends for Its Justification upon the conditions existing at the time It la made, and is In no sense a precedent for any other case, arising under new condi tions, or when facts hitherto undiscovered have been made known. It may be not only proper to eliminate a given tract of land, but highly Improper not to eliminate it; and yet, if the elimination of another tract of land will give monopoly to a min ing company, or a transportation company, or any other company, it may be to th last degree Improper. At th. time th. elimination at Kyak and Valdei Arm were made, no suggestion had been made to m from any source, nor was there uny pub lic knowledge, that ther was the slightest danger of th Guggenheim syndicate, or any other syndicate, obtaining control of Alaska, as the developments during th past three years have shown to b. th. case, and as has been a matter of public no toriety for at least two years. Cunningham Affidavit. "Months after the date of these elimina tions Cunningham made affidavit that h knew of no entrymcm In the Cunningham group that had any contract with the Guggenheim syndicate; the elemlnltlons being made In July and September, 19C", and the Cunningham affidavit In Septem ber, 1908. When these eliminations wer made there was not a vestige of evidence to show that we should be on our guard to prevent such a monopoly as is now evidently threatened. Incidentally, anent the assertion of Mr. Ryan that he has no interest whatever in the uuggennelm syn dicate, let me point out the explicit char acter of the Cunningham affidavit, (that the Guggenheim had no Interest In their claims; and. In any event, our entlr past Industrial history gives us warrant for saying that If the Ryan r.d I built a planned. It will be but a matter of time. Quart bricks of Dal zell's Ice Cream.
