There is a procession of expositions in New York that extends from one years end to another's, but perhaps the oldest of these is the one that has been holding forth in Madison Square Garden during the present week. It is called Parent Exposi- tion.' Its most interesting exhibits [ have been hundreds of exceedingly lively babies calculated to drive all thoughts of race suicide from the mind of the visitor All the most scientific appliances for the success ful upbringing of youngsters have been exhibited and lectures have been delivered by experts presumably of interest to members of the Newlywed family. Appropriately enough the presiding genius of the affair is repre- sented by the huge figure of stork carrying a baby suspended from it's bill. LONGACRE.

INTERESTING PHASES
 GOVfRNORS' MEETING
Mir. D. B. Heard Speaks of Incidents and Sideliehts on the Conservation Conferences.

Since his return from the confer ence of the governors with the presi- dent at Washington, Dwight B. Heard has been Tn such a rush of work that despite persistent efforts a reporter was unable to get statement from him as to the Washington confer ence until yesterday.
 MT. Heard stated: "The conference was certainly a good thing for the nation and no man could have at tended and listened to the high mind ed, patriotic discussions of the great questions involved without coming away better, broader and more pa triotic citizen. One gets a good idea of the scope and bigness of the con- gress when one considers that on the opening day the president of the United States presided, with his cab inet on the platform at his right and the supreme court of the United States at his left, while before him the governors of forty states and three representatives from every state and territory as well as the presi- dent or some distinguished represen- tative of nearly every national or ganization of importance, together with many of the leading members of

the house and senate, were assem- | bled.
 Promptly to the minute at eleven o'clock on the 18th of May, the hour set for the opening of the conference the president took the presiding chair and was greeted with a tremendous ovation which visibly affected him Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the ven erable chaplain of the senate, then delivered an inspiring invocation long to be remembered. The platform on which the president, supreme court and cabinet sat was covered with green velvet and effectively draped with American flags surmounted by superb American eagle. At the rear of the platform on each side, two immense maps each about twelve by twenty-four feet, showed geo. graphically the location of the great natural resources of the country, in cluding the forests, inland water ways, coal mines and the districts now being developed under the na- tional irrigation act. Between these two maps in a projection yelled by green curtains, most beautiful trans parencies were shown during the conference, illustrating most geo. graphically the natural resources of the country and the need for their protection. One of the most effec- tive pictures shown was a very re- cent picture taken of the Granite Reef diversion dam.
 "A regular program had been plan ned and the arrangements for car rying out this program promptly and for the care and comfort of the guests at the conference, were per feet. Owing to the large number of

bility of our streams We recognize
 that the private ownership of forest
 lands entails responsibilities in the interests of all the people, and we
 favor the enactment of laws looking
 to the protection and replacement of
 privately owned forests.
 I've recognize in our waters, a
 most valuable asset of the people of the United States, and we recom- mend the enactment of laws looking to the conservation of water re- sources for irrigable and source streams may be brought under com plete control and fully utilized for every purpose. We especially urge on the federal congress the immedi- ate adoption of a wise, active and thorough waterway policy, providing for the prompt improvement of our streams and conservation of their watersheds required for the uses of commerce, and the protection of the interests of our people.
 "'We recommend the enactment of laws looking to the prevention of waste in the mining and extraction of coal, oil, gas and other minerals, with a view to their wise conserva- tion for the use of the people, and to the protection of human life in the mines.'
 There were many delightful bits of humor throughout the conference. one of the most amusing being when Lieutenant Governor Davidson of Texas in his remarks stated that he wished he had a stick to help illus trate by pointing to the state of Texas; some governor facetiously suggested that perhaps the president would loan him the big stick to which the president enthusiastically replied, 'Surei'"
 When asked as to the situation on joint statehood in Washington, Mir. Heard said: Joint statehood is the deadest kind of a dead issue. While in Washington a number of our friends in congress who once felt justified in working for the union of the two territories, assured me that they admired the fight we had made and that Arizona could now rely upon independent statehood within a few years. Senator Bever- idge showed a very friendly dispo- sition toward Arizona matters and was most helpful to me in advancing the various Phoenix bills before con- gress, and at a dinner at his house I smoked the pipe of peace with him on the statehood issue, which he ap- parently realizes has been definitely settled by the votes of the people of the two territories"

burdened metropolitan taxpayer, to say nothing of the loss of life that would result. The charges that the bridge is in a dangerous condition are made by engineers and other engi- neers, employed by the city, are now making an investigation. Periodically there is alarm over the safety of the older bridges. These contain at cer- tain hours of the day from ten to twenty thousand persons at one time and if one of them were to fall it would be one of the greatest catas
 trophes in the history of the country.
 European hotels are becoming Americanized and are approaching more and more closely to the New York model in size and luxurious equipment. That at least is the state ment of Herr Adlon of Berlin who is described as the foremost hotelkeeper of Europe and who enjoys the friend ship and patronage of the kaiser. Herr Adlon has just given his name to the largest and most fashionable hotel in Germany and is visiting the principal cities of the United to obtain new ideas for his establishment. One fea- ture in which he points out that the influence of American travellers Is shown is that the most uptodate Euro pean hotels devote much more space to the lobby and to public lounging places than formerly. Other American improvements such as telephones in every room have been introduced while every big hotel of recent con- struction has its American bar pre- sided by a mixologist imported from New York. In one respect, however, Herr Adlon insists that continental hotels are still ahead of the majority of those in America and that is in the quality of the cooking If Europe finds it necessary to import American bar tenders the United States is compelled to import French and German chefs so that honors are easy in this re- spect.

New York is now the gateway for more than a third of all the grain which is exported from the United States. This fact has come as a sur prise to many persons who were not aware of the big part that this city plays in the agricultural business of the country. The statement is sup ported by government statistics, how ever. Reports of the department of commerce and labor show that over 100000, 900 bushels of grain are now received at this port every year for consumption and shipment abroad. The months of heaviest exports are now over but the flood continues to pour into the city It bids fair to be increased in the next ten days by the arrival of record shipments of wheat and corn from the western primary markets following the opening of transportation on the Great Lakes. The size of these shipments is an in- teresting commentary on the volume of the actual grain which is represent ed by the transactions on the Chicago Board of Trade and other exchanges. The recent movement set a new week ly record of grain shipments from Chicago. Over 19,O00.000 bushels of cereals will have been shipped from that city alone by the end of the month. All the available vessels on the lakes have been pressed into ser vice to carry the grain from Chicago. Duluth and other ports. Not all of this huge outpour of grain will reach New York, however, as some of it will go to other eastern points for milling and exports.

WAR NOW BEING WAGED
 SOARING SKYSCRAPFRS
New Works Tall Buildings Attacked As a Menace to the City-Fears For Safety of Metropolitan Bridges.

New York, May Special Corre- spondence of The Republican)-Al- 1 though the skyscraper is the distinct i've feature of New York architecture and this city possesses the tallest | buildings in the world, with the new | 6S0-foot Metropolitan tower at the head of the list a vigorous warfare on | this class of structure has been begun here. According to its opponents the skyscraprs' list or sins is long one l It adds to the congestion of the streets, already very serious problem 1 in the downtown district. It shuts off | light and air from other buildings while creating tremendous drafts through the canyon like depths that are formed by its walls. The fifty story building is uneconomic, 1t is said, because of. the increased cost Of construction to provide against tre- mendous strains and wind pressure. Fire department officials declare that conflagration five hundred feet above the street level cannot be fought successfully with any apparatus yet devised To the claim that these build ings are proof against fire, they point
 
 Parker building which was supposed to be an excellent example of fireprOof construction. A number of civic or ganizations have adopted resolutions against the erection of any more buildings of enormous height. Curi- ously enough one of the most active opponents of the skyscraper is the architect of the Singer building, who is resuonsible for several of the struc- lures against which he protests. Now the nOvelists have taken a hand in the agitation and in a story printed in the June number of Appleton's a convinc- ing picture is given of daring band of criminals who hold up the whole city by taking possession of the top floors of a skyscraper and arming themselves with high explosives. While this possibility may be disre- garded as a practical danger, it has been pointed out often by military experts that New York's soaring buildings would afford a fine target for the long range guns of a hostile fleet and that the whole lower city could easily be reduced to ruins in case of war. If this is true the idea of the Appleton writer may not be so fanatical as it seems. At any rate there is a rising slogan which declares that while the skyscraper need not go no more of the most extreme kind shall come.

New York has had a bridge scare this week, caused by the report that the new Blackwelrs Island bridge across the East river was overloaded and likely to collapse in the same manner as the great Quebec bridge which fell last year and which was the same type of structure. The Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges are both of the suspension variety but this new structure is a cantilever. It is not yet completed but so far has cost the city about six and a quarter million dol lars and it is estimated that a million and a half more will be needed to fin ish it. The prospect of seeing all this wealth fall into the East river na- turally does not appeal to the over

The death of The Allen, the vet eran gambler who for thirty years successfully defied the efforts of the police to close his resorts, removes the man who for years held the title of "the wickedest man in New York. .' Whether he deserved it is doubtful. In fact his friends insisit that the orig inal ''wickedest man" was an altogeth- CT different Allen and that "The" re- ceived the appellation through a con- fusion of names. By most New York CTS he will be remembered for the diversions caused by his warfare with successive police captains who raided his place as many as a hundred times in the course of year. but nev- CT succeeded in putting him out of business. He retired voluntarily two years ago. It is an interesting com- mentary on the supposedly enormous profits of gambling places that after forty years as a gambler Allen died a comparatively poor man.
