|CALLS A CONFERENCE ON CONSERVING RESOURCES
PRESIDENT Invites Governors
49, IA and IS to Discuss Important Subject

Washington, Nov 1S.-President
Roosevelt has invited the governors
of all the states and territories to meet
him at the White house May 13, IA
and Is, next, to discuss the question
of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country. Invitations
also are to be extended to the mem
bers of both houses of congress and
to the inland waterways commission.
The Importance and manner in which
the subject is to be considered are in
dicated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which was made public at
the White house yesterday. In the
letter the president says:
"The natural resources of the United
States were, at the time of settlement
richer, more varied and more availa.
Bile than those of any other equal area
on the earth. The development oil
these resources has given us, fol
more than century, rate of increase
of population and wealth without par
allel in history. 1t is obvious that the

criticise present conditions. There will
also probably be some political discus
sion. 1t is not believed however, the
democrats will offer any stubborn op-
position, but will rather content them
selves in stating their position and
throwing responsibility for action on
the party in power.
Believed Crisis il Met.
That the action of the administra-
lion in coming so vigorously to the re-
lief of the financial situation will be
more than ample in the direction de
sired was the universal comment of
callers at the White house today.
Senator Warren of Wyoming said
that the action taken was exactly what
was needed. People at large now re
alize that there was no excuse for g
panic and will stop boarding their
money, he added.
Steps Taken Sufficient.
Treasury officials and others most
cenversant with national finances and
currency conditions throughout the
country are almost a unit in the opin
ion Secretary Cortelyou's announce
ment' that he will issue 100000 600 in
treasury certificates and S50,000.000 il
Panama bonds is a complete solution
of the present money problem.

CONVENTION BUSY
illinois Anti-SaIoon League
Meets in Annual Session
at East ST. Louis
TO PLAN VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Only Counties in Central Part of
State Held Doubtful Are ST.
Clair and Madison.

East st. Louis, ILL.,, Nov. 1S.-The
Illinois State Anti-Saloon league will
hold a three days convention here, be-
ginning tonight. Over 500 delegates
are expected to attend The principal
work will lie in arranging the cam
paigns this spring in townships of
Illinois in the effort to win a local
option victory and thereby do away
with all saloons.
Some of the delegates who have ar
rived have fiattering reports on the
number of townships which have been
carried for local option. There are
two counties in which but little hope
for local option is extended. These
are st. Clair and Madison. Although
it may result in failure, the local op-
tion forces in both Belleville and East
st. Louis will make an effort to drive
out saloons.
Signed by 1,OOO.
In Belleville the anti-saloon petition
has been signed by over 1000 citizens
who favor closing all saloons in the
city.
In East St Louis it is believed con
ditions will be much harder for the
anti-saloon league than any other place
in the county. There is now a saloor
for about every 40 voters.

prosperity which we now enjoy rests
directly upon these resources. 1t is
equally obvious that the vigor and
success which we desire and foresee
for this nation in the future must have
this as its ultimate material basis.
Must Plan Futures Prosperity.
''In view of these evident facts, it
seems to me time for the country to
take account of its natural resources,
and to inquire how long they are likely
to last. We are prosperous now; we
should not forget that it will be Just
as important to our descendants to be
prosperous in their time.
Recently 1 declared there is nc
other question now before the nation
of equal gravity with the question o.
the conservation of our natural re

BLOWS FOR WALSH
Court Gives Adverse Ruling on
Motions in Trial of
Financier.
MORE BOOKS ARE ADMITTED
Acc cunts of Concerns for Which Mon
ey was Taken Go In as
Evidence.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-R. F. Williams,
auditor of the Southern Indiana rail-
road, the first witness at the trial OF
John R. Walsh today, proved an un-
willing witness, and his answers and
refusals to testify called forth rebukes
from Judge Anderson. Attorney Hynes
of the defense was also rebuked by
the court while Williams was on the
stand.
Receives Three Blows.
Three blows were dealt the defense
in the Walsh trial today. All of them
came from the bench.
Judge Anderson ruled the books oi
the different corporations for whose
benefit Walsh is alleged to have taker
money from the Chicago Nationa
bank were admissible as evidence
He held their admission was no viola
ton of the defendants constitutions
rights.
Examiner Held Competent.
The third ruling was adverse to tn
objections of the defense that Banl
Examiner Moxey was not competen
to explain the meaning of entries il
the books of the Chicago Nationa
bank.
