TAFT WILL PRESIDE
OVER CONFERENCE TO
ADVANCE PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-President-
elect William H. Taft has accepted an
invitation to preside over and address
a joint conference of the national con-
servation commission with the govern
ors of the states in Washington, De-
cember s, an event which VIII bring
together an assemblage Of the nation s
leading men In commercial, financial
and political activity, and whose i'm
portance may be expected to rival the
noted White House conservation con-
ference held by President Roosevelt
last May.
The joint conference will be in prog
ress four days, and will be fraught with
wonderful possibilities toward shaping
an epoch in the country's commercial
advance.
In fact, it is the first conference
wherein tangible data as to the scope
of the natural resources in the United
States will be presented by the COM
mission, and a practical plan mapped
out whereby conservation may be ac-
complished.
President Roosevelt will deliver an
address the opening day. ]. ]. Hill,
John Mitchell, Andrew Carnegie and a
score of others have invitations to be
present.
Since the conference of several
months t.go, when the president quick
ened the interest of the nation in one
of its most perplexing problems, the
national conservation commission has
made an inventory of the natural re-
sources of the country. This invento-
ry, which embraces waters, minerals,
forests and lands, win be presented by
clifford Pinehot, chairman of the COM
mission, who in his report to the pres
ident, January /, will made recommen-
dations which both the work of the
commission and the joint conference
may suggest as vital In solving the
conservation problem.

raise his right arm during the former
trial. and all of them said there was
a marked difference between his ac-
lions then and those of yesterday.
Illustrating Chenoweth'5 actions while
| they sat In the jury box, each juror
raised his right hand to about the top
button of three-button sack coat,
while one of their number said the
supposedly injured man raised his hand
as high as his left breast.

pain, In raising his right hand to his
brow.
C. D. Hubbard, G. w. Croake and A.

at table where he could observe the
man closely. II saw him use his right
hand and arm freely In cutting his
meat and conveying food to his mouth, u
! said the witness, land when he paid his
check he held toothpick in his right
hand while picking his teeth. l walked
I behind him after he left the restau-

upon the people by the clearing OF the
shaft
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are en-
tertained. One is that a pocket OF gas
was struck by one of the miners, quick
ly filling the workings and then ignit-
ing from a lamp. The other theory is
that gas from a well on the Fulton
farm, under which the mine is located,
penetrated the workings The land In

it is possible gas may have seeped

cumulated in sufficient volume to cause

Before Selecting British

ROME, Nov. 2s.-Pope Plus x has
given up the idea of holding a consls-
tory in December.
This decision has been reached partly
because of the difficulty of choosing
the new French cardinals and partly
because the pontiff desires the ter
mination of the discussion OF the edu-
cation bill in England before he creates
a British cardinal.
In the meantime his holiness will
profit by the presence in Rome OF
Archbishop Glennon of st. Louis and
the forthcoming visit of Archbishop Ire
land to study the matter of the Ameri-
can episcopacy with view of creating
