BURGLARS GET ACTRESSES
GOWNS AND SILVERWARE
Other Roomers Heard Noises,
but Never Once Thought
of IntruderS

Burglars entered the rooms OF Cecilia Rhoda
and Zoe Barnett of the Princess theater com
pany at the Merritt hotel, 1886 Geary street,
while they were attending a Press club recep-
tion Monday night, and carried away gowns,
silverware and Jeweiry valued at between 5000
and $700. Every trunk had been opened and
ransacked except one, and in trying to force
il open with a knife the blade was broken
and left In the room.
It was early yesterday morning when the
actresses returned to their rooms. Other guests
In the hotel heard noises in their rooms but
had no thought OF burglars.
Three OF Miss Rhoda's gowns were stolen
and seven of Miss Barnett's, some of them
stage costumes The silverware stolen had
been presented to them and they were unable
to appraise its vaue. Fortunately they had
their most valuable jewelry with them at the
reception. The police were notified yesterday
morning aud Detectives Bailey and Lambert
were detailed on the case.
Two men giving the names of John Kane and
barry Burns arrested In connection with
the case. In a bundle they had a valuable siIk
dress skirt, dozen pairs OF silk stockings and 2
dozen large handkerchiefs- The men said that
they had been in the city but few days

now before the nation; and the occa-
sion for the meeting lies in the fact
that the natural resources of our coun-
try are in danger of exhaustion IL we
permit the old wasteful methods of
exploiting them longer to continue"
Again he said:
Since revolutionary times our
knowledge and use of the resources
OF the present territory OF the United
states have increased a hundredfold-
Indeed, the growth of this nation by
leaps and bounds makes. one of the
most striking and important chapters
IN the history of the world. Its
velopment. and alas, that it should be
said. to the rapid destruction, of our
natural resources. =.
THE prosperity of our people de-
pends directly on the energy and in
telligence with which our natural re-
sources are used. 1t is equally clear
that these resources are the final
ty. Finally, 1t is ominously evident
that these resources are IN the course
of rapid exhaustion.
TIME FOR CHANGE
This nation began with the belief
that It's landed possessions were Him
table and capable of supporting all the
country their home. but already tho
limit of unsettled land Is in sight, and
indeed but little land fitted for agri-
culture now remains unoccupied save
what can be reclaimed by irrigation
and drainage.
I'VE began with an unapproached
heritage of forests; more than half Of
the timber is gone.
We began with coal fields more ex-
tensive than those of any other nation
and with iron ores regarded as mex
haustible, and many experts now de-
clare that the end of both iron and
coal is in sight.
1--WE are coming to recognize as never
before the right OF the nation to guard
its own future In the essential matter
of natural resources. In the past we
have admitted the right of the indi-
vidual to injure the future of the re-
public for his own present profit. The
time has come for a change.
DR.. White, the coal. expert, said:
"A great geo1ogist once said. The
nation that has the coal and iron rules
the world Bountiful nature has dow
cred the American people with a herit-
age of both coal and iron richer by far
than that of any other political divi-
sion OF the earth.
What accounts can we, as q nation,
give of our stewardship of such vast
fuel treasures? Have we carefully con-
served them and transmitted the re-
mainder unimpaired to succeeding gen
erations? Or have we greatly depleted
this priceless heritage of power and
comfort and source of world influence
by criminal waste and wanton destruc-
tion?
.rhe answer should bring blush of
shame to every patriotic American.

PRESIDENT IN NO DEAL
WITH HIGH FINANCIERS
Report of Agreement With Wall
Street to Support Taft Is
FIatIy Denied

WASHINGTON, March 17.-President
Roosevelt had no conference with j.
Pierpont Morgan previous to the lat
ter's departure for Europe, nor was any
bargain whatever entered into between
President Roosevelt on the one side and
any representative of the financial inter-
ests on the other, by the terms of which
President Roosevelt agreed to suspend
his attacks upon Objectionable men and
measures in consideration of Wall
street giving support to the movement
for the nomination Of Secretary Taft
for president.
This is an absolutely authoritative
statement, brought out by the reports
which have been given credence in
some quarters of late that Morgan Wis
tied President Roosevelt several times
before he sailed. At these conferences,
1t was asserted, Morgan agreed to de-
liver Wall street and the financial in
terests to Taft President Roosevelt's S
part of the bargain was to soothe the
uneasiness which has existed In Wall
street and to keep quiet as to his
policies for the remainder of his au-
thority. These assertions are declared
in the highest quarters to be false.

GRAFTERS SCORE JUDGES
Circulate Editorial Attackins
LawIor and Dunno

Copies of an editorial printed March
II in the Seattle Times attacking
Judges Dunno and Lawlor were circu-
lated yesterday about the court ap-
parently by the defendants in the graft
cases. The copies had been run off on
the typewriter in manifold and were
distributed with lavish hand. The
editorial in question follows:
The California supreme court has reafhrmed
the decision of the appellate court that former
Mayor Eugene L. Schmitz was wrongfully con-
victed, and orders the discharge of the defend
ant, who has been in jail for eight months
while the fight has been on In the higher courts.
Leaving out all question of the guilt of either
Schmitz or Rnef the San Francisco graft trials
have made plain two things" and both Of them
sit on the bench OF all the travesties upon
justice in court. the trials before Judges Dunno
and Lawlor have been the most glitteriDg exam
pies of recent times. The wonder is that the
California bar association has not taken action
to have them removed from the bench.
