Two Organizations Are in No Way
Connected, Sayi Secretary
Thomas Shipp.
KANSAS CITT. Sept I Some of the
gates already appointed to the National
Conservation congreee to be held In Kan
sas City, September 2&-T7. have expressed a
slight confusion as to the National Conser
vation association and the National Con
servation congress. Secretary ThPTvss R.
Shipp. who Is secretary of the congress,
gave out a statement today explanatory as
to the field or worn of the two bodies. He
says; "The association Is a permanent or
ganisation, having a membership of nearly
50.000 scattered through all of the d.fferent
states. Clifford Plnehot. former chief fores
ter. Is the official head. It I organized
along lines similar 10 those of most general
associations and deals with conservation
questions in their brond relations, and as
they affect the state, although purely state
questions are within the purview of the
various state commissions.
"The conservation congress which meets
in Kansas City this year Is differently or
ganised having a membership of only auch
delegates as attend, but no permanent or
fixed members. Its sessions are arranged
by an executive committee representing the
association and the congress, and its an
nual sessions are open to all who come.
Irrespective of membership In the national
association. The lo organisations are
separate and distinct., the congress being
m annual meeting of men interested In I
conservation and the asaocaition being an
organization of men who are members and
-.'main a permanent relationship. At the
of the congress Is President Henry
c. The conservation movement,
fore, haa two official heads. Presi
n'hot of the association and Presi
' allaee of the congress, each fulflll
arate and distinct duties."
' m Commercial club, which la In charge
of th local arrangements, Is laying plan
for an attendance of li.OflC delegates at the
three-day September conference. So great
1 the flood of acceptances from the tn
vitationa Issued a month ago that plana
are already being laid to entertain one of
the largeat assemblages Kansas City haa

to prepare in advance for suitable hotel ac

amount of routine business, the delegates
adopted a rousing vote of thanks to the
Omaha Landwehrwerein. the Omaha Com
mercial club, the city. Mayor Dahlman and
the press. Of the eleven societies com
prising the national organisation three

A meeting of the Western Kriegerbund
which is combining Its convention with
that of the national organisation, also waa
held Sunday morning.
An impressive lght and one which
Omaha people hav seldom had an op
portunity to wltnesa was the field mass
In one of the valleys near the German
home Sunday morning. High mass was
celebrated by Father B. Sinne of St.- Mag
dalen' church at a temporary altar erectdd
in the midst of the meadow. Music was
furnished by Henry Lota' double Instru
mental quartet and by a chorus of fifty
excellently trained voice under the direc
tion of Prof. Reese.
Former German oldlem surrounded th
altar and at interval delivered volley
; salute. Th sermon preached by Father
Alois Kampmann of Sidney wa a stirring
on.- Th maas waa followed by the
Lutheran church service conducted by Rev.
Mr. Ahrens of Bennington. Th ceremony
of Sunday morning? almost an exact re
production of the -vice with which Ger
man aoldler In th field observe Sunday,
waa, for that reason the more Impress! v
to the veteran.
Lota' double quartet and the band which
accompanied the Clatonla aoclety to the
oity alternated during ounday afternoon
in entertaining the crowd with excellently
rendered musical selections. All day the

larger number remaining on the grounds
for a huge picnic at the noon hour. A ball
in the hall at the home concluded the en
tertainment planned for the day.

set out from th central part of town a bit
after o'clock, are expected to awaken
the Bleeping city. From that hour until
late at night th time of the visiting

WAR EXPERIENCES. RECALLED

toriaaa ial Ea)r Ball.
The presentation of a series of scene
from the Franco-German war, which time
and again brought the loyal Teutons to
their feet with round after round of hearty
cheer and a grand military ball than I
which the Auditorium haa seldom, If ever,
seen one more brilliant, brought to a fit
ting close the first day of the fifth bien
nial convention of the National and West
ern Kriegerbund.
The war pictures, acted by a hundred or
more of the moat talented Thespians
among Omaha' German-Amerioana, por
traying as they did soenea which wer
thoroughly familiar to th older portion
of the audience and which war known
through tory and fable to the younger
hearer, wer executed in a manner cloaely
approaching the best professional stage
effort.
Such scenes aa the first sounding of th
alarm of war. the calling out of th re
serve a. th depart ur of the troops, and
the boarding of the troop trains, showed
to the veterans, acenea which took them
instantly thousands of miles back to th
fatherland. Other acenea portraying th
work of the women nursea In the field, th
soldier wife on the field of battle and
the dead soldiers lying on the bait)
ground caused tears to mount to ths eyes
of many a grixsled ex-aoldicr.

Th real kejnote of the evening a

of th old country and th country of
adoption intertwined. The volume of ap-
plause which greeted this scene ahowed
that though the love of fatherland still
slumbers in the Teuton hearts, yet loy

MEXICO CITT. Sept. l.-Jose Pino rhihrer.

nated for vice president by the progres
sive party over Dr. Francisco Vasauez
Gomes by a vote of 71 to 469. Many dele
gate did not vot on the last ballot, while
a numher oasl blank ballots, these going
to the credit of the man with the plurality.
Tbla result followed the refusal of the
minority in the convention to cast Its votes
for either of the remaining candidates
for the vie presidency and the calling of
Francisco L Madero before the convention
to define his relation wtth Dr. Vaaquez
Gomez, who had run second to Pino Ruarex
by ninety-nine votes on th second ballot.
The bead of the ticket waa aubjected to
a grilling by the delegatea, but after
frankly expressing hi disapproval of Dr.
Gomes he adroitly turned the tables on
th dissatisfied element by putting them
on record to support the winning candi
date, whoever he might ba.
Kmc Vie Refnae to Vwte." -By
the second ballot, Fernando Ignleslaa
Calderon. reoelvlng the minority vote, was
eliminated. In accordance with th rule.
Backer of both Pino Suares and Vasquei
Gomez had depended on the Calderon
vote for a majority in the third and final
vote. Party leader of the Calderon fac
tion, however, declared they would vote
no more.
Under the system of balloting agreed on
the voles of this contingent would be
recorded as blank votes and placed to the
credit of the candidate receiving the plu
rality, thus giving him a technical ma
jority. The supporter of Pino Suarez were
prevented from availing themselves im
mediately of this Dlank vote by the tumult
created by the adherents of Gomez.
Order was restored only when Jt wae
agreed that Madero himself should be
brought face to face with the convention.
A committee waa sent to Madero's home
and In leas than half an hour returned
with the nominee for president- The ova
tion tendered him aa he entered the audi

th decision of opinion might be regarding
the vloe presidential candidates, the house
waa united on Madero for president,
Madero Crttlrtae Gonaea.
Formally the chairman. Sanchez1 Aznona,
stated the case to Madero, who criticised
many acts in the career of hia old running
mate, Gomez, both during the revolution
and since. Th chief complaint lodged
against him waa that he had acoepted the
leadership of a rival party, of which his
brother, Emilia Vanquez, 1 the choice for
the presidency.
That tbeae remark wer far from pleas
ing to th friend of Gomez waa evident
by tb Interruptions that came from many
parte of the house. Pertinent and imperti
nent questions were hurled at Madero, but
the speaker made no direct answer and
added to the surprise by declaring that
since he had spoken harvihly of Vas
quei Gomez, he wished to state Pino Suarez
waa not hie candidate. He dee.ared that he
had at no time supported the Yucatan gov
ernor and had abaolutely no preference be
tween the two men. He added, however,
that he would accept any man named by
th convention. The applause had not
oeased, when raising his hand, he de
manded that a premise to abide by the
selection of th cor.ventlon be made by the
delegatea. Every Individual in the conven
tion arose, lifted his light hand and prom
ised to abide by the final vote. This, not
withstanding tbe Gomes followers declared
that if their candidate lost in the conven
tion they would support him for the vice
presidency as an Independent candidate.

Madero then tried to stampede th con
vention for a dark horse.
"Gentlemen," said he, "in view of thene
differences. I would propose that the con
vention place in nomination another man
not heretofore considered."
This waa too much for the tired delegatea,
retard less of factions snd cries of "no, no"
arcs and confusion followed.
Confusion marked th conclusion of Ma-
dero's speech. He resumed his Beat on the
' platform, but the delegatea were not
j through with him.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. I.-All sdion
toward the calling of a strike of the nhop
employes of the Harriman lines as a result
of the refusal of the railroads to recognize
the federation of shops ttnploj es has
been deferred., until next Friday, and the
representaTJve ol the shop craft who w r
prevent at the conference yesterdy Willi
Vloe President Kruttsrhnitt of the Har
riman line express the lioje that a strike
will be averted.
A meeting of the advisory board of the
Federated Shop Employes of the Harriman
linos haa been called to convene In Pan
Francisco next Friday. The board com
prises thirty-five members, representing
the shop employes of all the important
lines of tbe Harriman roads.
Until the arrival of the member of this
board the international presidents of the
five shop crafts who are row in San Fran
cisco will take no official action. They
will attend Labor day celebrations through
out the state and will not return here until
Friday.
The international presidents of the fl e
shop crafta Issued a formal btatement to
night, outlining the position taken by the
federation. The Btatement is in answer to
that of the railroad's position Issued by
Mr. Kruttsrhnitt some days ago.
The statement take up the nine demand
presented to Mr. Kruttachnltt and deals
with his attitude toward them.
"W have the federated craft on four
teen different railroads at the prevent time
and we find no friction whatever with lue
management of those various railroads."
It says. "We speak especially of the
Southern railroad and Its allied lines,
known as the "Fltiley group."
Of Mr, Kruttsihnltf contention that,
under the federation plan trouble with one
craft means trouble with all. th Interna
tional presidents point out that the feder
ation committee first seeks to nettle any
difficulty, but that, in no event, can a
atria be railed ixcer by" presidents of
tbe individual uniena.
"Our purpoe," say th tatement. "i
to minimize difficulties. W hope, by the
federation, to settle tbem without having
our committees so often In the managers'
office.
"To Mr. Kruttsrhnitt' statement that
limitation of apprentices would deny to
American boya opportunity to learn a trade
our reply 1 that our present contracts
with th Harriman lines hav been in the
Southern Pacific agreements."
"The demand for Increased wages." says
the statement, "would be a matter for dis
cussion in a conference." adding that It Is
"usually a game of give and take."
Oppoaed to Pieee Work.
Az to piece work and premium systems.
the International presldenta declare they
do not try to cover the fact that we are
opposed to either system, and will never
submit to them if it ;s in our power to
prevent Jt."
The personal and physical record sys
tem," the Btatement nays, "gives the em
ployers a chance to drive the employe to
the poor house." and it asserts that black
listing "to some extent, is being carried
on today."
Regarding demanda that the federation
have authority in thelaying off and dis
charge of men, it says, "we acknowledge
that we Intend to protect our member
against malicious discharge by foremen on
account of personal feeling. Many a man
I th subject of revenge."
The intent of tb federation 1 thus Bum
med up:
"N on who haa watched th history of
large corporations can but recognize that
if labor does not protect Itself It will have
but small share of the products. The fed
eration cf crafts I the only olution we
hav found to cop wtth federated corpor
ation." K Aaawer to letters.

consider themselves bound to wait until
