WILL CALL CONVENTION.
TO AdUOCate Conservation of Natu-
raj Resources.
THE PRESIDENT.

Memphis, Oct. 4.-Presdent Roosevelt to-day
announced that he would call a convention 10
be held in Washington on January 8. 1908, TO
advocate the preservation and conservation of
the natural resources of the country. including
coal, water power, oil. etc
1t was reported yesterday some Of the boats
accompanying the Mississippi on her voyage
down the river that such call would be issued. 1t
had been under consideration for some time by
the members of the Inland Waterways Commits
sion and the details were presented by the
members of that body to the President al
luncheon given him on the commissions boat
the Colonel Mackenzie, and the Governors on
the Alton were taken into the commissions con-
fidence when that body went aboard the Alton
after dinner.
A meeting was organized on the main deck
OF the Alton, over which Governor Folk presided.
and it was soon made evident that determined
effort would be made to procure an Endorsement
OF the project in advance of action by the Presi-
dent Statements in explanation of the COM
missions plans we're made by Chairman Bur
ton. Senator Newlands Dr. McGee. Mr.. PinChot
and other members of the commission, from
which it appeared that they desired to have the
convention follow the river and harbor confer
ence to be held in Washington in December. and
10 have il devoted largely to other than navi-
CATION affairs
Responses were made by nearly all the gov
ernors present. At first approving the plan.
they developed such opposition that reso-
luton Of commendation offered by Governor
Chamberlain withdrawn. All the speakers
except Governor Brooks Of Wyoming announced
approval of the idea of a convention, but the
general sentiment was opposed to an expression
of opinion before the holding of the Memphis
convention that might be construed into an ef-
fort to dsplaCe the deep waterways discussion
as the question of paramount Importance. This
thought was first expressed by Governor
blanchard Of Louisiana. and the opposition
sentiment developed so rapidly that before the
meeting adjourned the opinion against action at
that time was almost unanimous.

must have been patent TO any observer
They were too fat and heavy" he said. "and

MR. TOWER TO RETIRE.
ambassador to Germany Wishes to
Make His Home Here.

Berlin, Oct. 4-Ambassador Tower has written
President Roosevelt asking that he be permitted
TO retire from the diplomatic service next spring.
Mr.. Towers reasons are understood TO be that,
having been abroad for nearly eleven years he
desires again to live in his own country in order
10 have home there for his sons who are now
nearly ready to go TO Harvard University. and
to give his personal attention TO his extensive
mining and railroad interests, which have been
left to the supervision of others during his long
absence. AS the lease on Mr. Towers house in
Berlin does not expire until some time next
spring 1t is presumded that he will remain as
ambassador until after that time Mr. and Mrs
Tower and their two young daughters are at
present at Baden Baden. They intend TO return

Mr.. Towers retirement will remove from the
diplomatic list one Of the most experienced OF
the American representatives in Europe He
has been continuously minister and ambassador
longer than any other diplomatist in the Ameri-
can service.
Mr. Towers first experience in foreign af-
fairs was as attache at the Spanish court
thirty years ago. and in the long interval be-
tween that time and his appointment as Amer
lean Minister TO Vienna in 1897, while actively
concerned in railroads and the iron Industry Of
Minnesota, he found much time to give to the
study of foreign politics. During this period
the French government granted him special
facilities for the investigation Of Lafayette's
public career in France. and the results Of
these researches form part Of mis- Life of La
fayette."
In recognition of this work the French gov
ernment bestowed on Mr.. Tower the Gordon OF

coNGREssMEN ON sANDBAR.

The only part of the big crowd IN Memphis
this evening that is not overjoyed with every
thing in general is the contingent of Congress
that came down the Tennessee. The
Representatives are Just about angry they
csn be and are standing around the hotel Hobbies
saying unprintable things. Just as their steam

liked that sandbank, for she resolutely remained
there for three long hours. In the mean time
the big show going on in Memphis, and al
though Il was raining steadily there were no
rain checks for the Congressman They got TO
Memphis after 3 o'clock. when the President
had made his speech. The crowds had melted
from the wet streets and there were no loud
cheers for the lawmalKing laggards. While their
boat on the sandbar the Congressman did
their best to while away the time by telling
stories and playing schoolboy tricks. A ques-
ton Of personal prowess was raised between
John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, and Mr..
Cooper, Of Wisconsin, and to settle It the
spot wrestling match was arranged After
few holds and locks. breaks and clinches, John
Wesley went to the floor. and when he came up
found he had acquired a sprained ankle. The
rest Of the day he was industriously telling his
friends how he had slipped

But little reference has been made
10 the remark OF the President in his
correspondence with the Storers to
the effect that foolish women were
assisting the cause of intemperance in
aholishing the army canteen. The
President is too shrewd politician to
have made this remark except under
the secrecy Of personal correspondence.
This statement of his view, however,
need surprise nobody, for it is cor
federated by every army officer in the
service and by a majority of the army
ehaplains. II does not. indeed, re-
