gram .)--Today President Roosevelt sent tc
the senate the name Of Gooree Hoimrod os
Omaha 70 be consul a. Berne Switzerland
vice James Jeffrey Roche deceased.
The appointment OF Mr.. Helnirod must be
credited TO Senator Norris Brown, who
has labored earnestly to bring about the
transfer for one o. Omaha's well known
citizens because he had not oniy grown
tired OF filling the position Of consul a.
Apia, Samoa. but the climate Of those far.
away islands has undermined Mr. Helm.
rods constitution and as result his
friends in Nebraska have worked indefati-
gably to secure for him either a transfer
or . promotion in the consular service. Mr.
Heimrod came to washington early In the
year for a personal interview with secrc-
tary Root and Assistant Secretary Bacon.
having been introduced by Senator Brown.
MIR. Heimrod was the kind OF man to APP
peal to the distinguished secretary OF state
and his assistant. because Of his splendid
record in the far east. and when he left
Washington he was told that everything
would be done TO bring about q transfer.
he having represented the American gov
ernment in Samoa for nearly seven years.
succeeding the late Judge Osborne OF Me-
braska. While the transfer does not insure
any large salary for Mr. Heimrod both
Berne and Apia being in class six OF the
consular service at 1850 per year, IL gives
him much larger opportunity and an un-
rivaled climate. where It is hoped Mr.
Heimrod will regain his health.
Pollard Bin IN Favor.
The bin which Representative Pollard has
introduced creating forest reserves outside
OF existing national forests. in order TO con-
serve the waters OF navigable streams and
authorizing the appointment BY the preai-
dent OF a commission Of five men whose
duty it shall be to make an investigation
OF the watersheds OF the United states
and report to him by particular description
what parts OF these watersheds have d.
rect connection with the conservation Of
the waters OF navigahle streams Is en-
dorsed by Chief Forester clifford Pinchos
ana 81, speaRer Canuon. The only question
which seems to be agitating some OF the
members OF congress Is as to the consti-
t,,tionality OF the bill. Mr.. Pollard holds
that Il Is quite as constitutional as the
p,re food or meat Inspection acts.
On next Tuesday the agricultural corn
n,ittee Of which Mr.. Pollard Is member,
will consider the bill. and the representa-
tive from the First district feels morally
certain he win get a favorable report from
the committee on the measure. IN which
event Il Is understood Speaker Cannon VIII
give time for its consideration.
CtrcuIatIng POIIard's speech.

ferred upon him of having the national
