GOVERNORS IN THE CAPITOL.
Conservation Conference Now Get.
ting Down to Work,


Washington, Dec. S.-With Presi-
dent-elect Taft as presiding officer,
and President Roosevelt on the pro-
gram for the principal address, the
joint meeting opened today by the
National Conservation Commission
and the governors of states and their
official representatives promises to
be one of the most noteworthy
gatherings of it's kind in the history
of the country. Chief executives of
many of the most populous states
of the union are in attendance and
these, added to the long list of prom
inent scientists and others who are
to appear, will make the gathering
nearly as important as the White
House conference, which began the
work. The Conservation Commits
sion, appointed by Mr.. Roosevelt,
serves without pay, and great pres
sure will be brought to bear on
Congress to obtain an appropriation
for the work to be done.
The Southern Commercial Con-
gress, which opened yesterday, con-
tinued its deliberations today. The
National Rivers and Harbor Con-
gress will meet tomorrow, and on
Thursday Secretary Strauss will
corlyepe the National Council of
Commerce. Today's session of the
Governors and the National Conser-
vation Commission, and the subse-
quent Rivers and Harbors Congress,
will mark the taking of great
stride forward in the movement for
taking account of the natural re-
sources of the United States. The
inventory undertaken by the COM
mission is now ready and the re-
port to the President is in process
of completion.
When the conservation movement
was started specific information
about the actual state of our re-
sources was partly wanting, partly
inaccessible. Certain facts were
broadly known. 1t was at least un-
questionable that resources had been
wastefully used, and that some of
them, notably the mines, were sure
in time to be exhausted, while
others, for example the forests
could still be kept perpetually by
right management. The first work
was to get the facts, to show exactly
what the situation was and how it
could be improved by measures that
would work. Without an inven-
tory which should show the present
condition of the resources and the
way to develop them to the best ad
vantage, conservation was in danger
of staying up in the air.
This inventory has now been taker
and nothing remains but the in
auguration of practical reform meas
ures to which such an inventor,
points the way. Conservation of tn,
waterways of the nation is one O
the most important phases of tn,
work undertaken, and this will b,
brought to the front by the conven
ton to be opened tomorrow by tn
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress. Hundreds of delegates ar
already here, representing all q
the important river improvement
societies of the country, and it is ez
4 pected that the total number vii
| reach $500.

is growing constantly for this cor

BANKER ON TRIAL.
Was Cashier of Bank That Failed
Cor Oyer Two Million.

"
For Over Two Million.
Waynesburg Pa, Dec. 8.-The
trial of j. B. F. Rinehart, cashier
and vice president of the defunct
Farmers and Drovers National bank,
which failed in this place several
years ago for over two million dol
lors, began here today. Owing to
allegations that political influence
had been responsible for the long
delay in the case and the recent
special investigations ordered by
President Roosevelt, which resulted
in a date being set next month in
the United States court, at Pitts
burg, it is apparent that here will
be sensational legal battle in the
county court here.
Rinehart is being tried on seven
| tenn indictments.

gatory arbitration of deputies be-
tween nations.

Bordeaux, France, Dec. 10.-Ci-
prano Castro, president of Venezu-
ella, was allowed to land on French
soil today when he arrived at this
city. 1t was announced that he will
go to Paris tomorrow.
1t was believed to be the intention
OF the government to exact an apol-
ogy from Castro before permitting
him to land but apparently the COM
munication received by the govern
ment from the French minister to
Peru, who was a passenger on the
same steamer, to the effect that Cas-
tro was anxious to arrange settle
men beween the two countries
brought shout = change In the plan.

E. W. MARTIN
SWORN IN
TOOK OATH OF OFFICE AS CON-
GRESHAM, SUCCEEDING LATE
CONGRESSMAN PARKER.
AFTER SHORT SESSIONS, sen.
ATE AND HtaJ USE ADJOURNED
RESPECTING DECEASED.

Washington, Dec. AFTER being
in session an hour, half of which
time was consumed in roll call, the
house of representatives, which met
at noon today, adjourned out of re-
spect for the memory of several of
its members and Senator Allison, of
Iowa, all of whom died during the
recess.
Seven new members were sworn
in to fill vacancies caused by death
or resignation. Among those who
received the oath of Office was Eben
w. Martin, of South Dakota. The
Martin resolutions were adopted ex-
pressing the regret of the house at
the deaths Of various members, Con-
gresham Parker, of South Dakota,
included.
The most important action was
the passage by unanimous consent
a resolution authorizing the commit
tee on ways and means in it's tariff
hearings to subpoena witnesses and
call for books and papers. A num-
Der of bills of public interest were
introduced.
The roll call showed the pres
ence of 651 members.
Washington, Dec. 7.-There was a
pail of sadness over the United
States senate when it convened to-
day. which was due to the absence
of tho Lotto Conotor yNi11;o,,, d All;
son, of Iowa, who died last August.
Senator Dolliver announced the
death of the late Senator Allison
and resolutions expressing the pro-
found sorrow of the senate over this
bereavement were adopted. AS a
further mark of respect for his mem
ory the senate, after a session last
ing fifteen minutes, adjourned for
the day.
The roll call showed so members
present.
A thOrny path comfronts the pos
tai savings bank bill in spite of the
fact that its passage was advocated
by the republican national platform.
When Senator Carter secured a spec
ial order to take up this measure
on Dec. 14th, it is said he had
pledged sufficient votes to pass the
bill in the senate but the situation
seems changed and at present it is
doubtful whether Carter can rally
any where near the required num-
ber. If Carter can bring the bill
to vote, the chance of it's passage
is considered small.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE demo-
Gratis of the house are planning to
demand an investigation of the pur-
chase of the Panama canal property
and in conformity with this program
Representative Rainey, of Illinois,
today introduced resolution direct
ing the speaker to appoint COM
mittee of five to ascertain how
much of the 100000 which ap-
pears on record has been paid to
the French canal company was really
paid that company" 1t is said that
the national democratic committee
asked Rainey to present the resolu-
ton, which provides that the COM
mittee shall ascertain whether any
portion of the $4O,0OO,0O0 was di-
rectly or indirectly paid American
citizens or to an American syndi-
cate and also if any member of the
senate or the house profted by the
transaction.

The high school Is again the scene of excitement For some time past stu dents, particularly members of the Senior class, have been losing sums of money and wearing apperal from the coat rooms on the third floor. One mamber of the above class about two weeks ago was the loser of s2 in cash \ few days later the same student had a valuable huff stolen. It is believed that tho thefts are the work of pupils in the graded schools which occupy the lower two floors in the high school building Yesterday Officer White vis- tied the building for the purpose of in- vestlgating tho matter. The pupil who was suspected of committing the acts was absent but on the officers arrival he was informed that a theft of sl 50 had been reported that noon.
