WHITE HOUSE MEETING ENDS
Governors Conference Adopts Resolu.
 tions and Adjourns.


 Washington, May 20.-In addressing the conference of prominent men call ed to discuss the conservation of the country's natural resources, which ad journed after a three days session President Roosevelt declared that the national government sought no usurpa tion of state powers; that all he de, sired was to see the states act where the power to act was vested in them.
 The governors effected a permanent organization. They will meet next year at place yet to be determined. A committee of five, of which Governor Swanson of Virginia is chairman, was vested with the power to carry oul this arrangement.
 The resolutions unanimously report ed by the committee and adopted by exclamation by the conference carry specific recommendations for legisla. tion by congress. They declare:
 we agree In the wisdom of future conferences between the president members of congress and the governors of the states regarding the conserva' ton of our natural resources with the view of continued cooperation and ac. tion on the lines suggested. And tc this end we advise that from time tt time, as in his judgment may sce;J wise, the president call the governors of the states, members of congress and others into conference.
 "We agree that further action is ad. visable to ascertain the present condi. ton of our natural resources and tC promote the conservation of the same And to that end we recommend the appointment by each state of com, mission on the conservation of natural resources to cooperate with each other and with any similar commission on behalf of the federal government.
 f'We urge the continuation and ex. tension of forest policies adapted tC secure the husbanding and renewal of our diminishing timber supply. 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 look. ing to the protection and replacement of privately owned forests.
 "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 view to their wise conservation for the use of the people and to the protection of human life in the mines. Let us con. serve the foundations of our prosper ity." ..

 Women and Man.


 Women and Man. New York, May 2o.-Frank Zastera the boyish farmland who raised the alarm about the triple murder at Wick. atunk, N. J., confessed that 1t was he who shot and killed William D. Shep. herd, Mrs. Josephine Shepherd and their young employee, Jennie Bendy, leaving the Shepherds young baby tho only living person in the house. . While armed posses galloped and Monmouth county looking for another foreigner suspected of the crime the police for eighteen straight hours put Zastera through all the terrors of the dread third degree only to be baffled by his iron nerve and plausible stories At the end of their resources Prose cutor Stokes and his assistants forced him as a final test to don the blood stained, shot torn vest taken from Shepherds body. They made him place his hand upon that part of it above the heart
 "Now swear that you are innocentr' they commanded.
 The boy broke down and sobbed: ''I did iti I did itl I killed all three! Now let me alone, and I'll tell allr' It was partly weak mind, partly fear, that impelled him to take the three lives, he explained. Robbery was his original motive.

KEYSTONE DEMOCRATS MEET
Principal Contest of Convention Over
 Bryan Instructions.

iHSITuIhiOuos
 Harrisburg, Pa, May 20.-The Demo cratic state convention, which met here to select four delegates at large to the Denver convention, nominate a candi- date for judge of the superior court and name presidential electors at large, promises to be one of the warmest In the recent history of the party.
 The fight, which has divided the De mocracy of the state into two factions, is whether the convention shall send the four delegates at large to the na- tional convention under binding in structions to vote for William J. Bry- an or whether they shall go to Denver unfettered. While there is a semblance of a contest over the personnel of the delegation at large, the fight over in structions has overshadowed every thing else
 Colonel James NJ. Guffey of Pitts burg, the national committeeman from Pennsylvania, was equally as positive as he has been at any time that the convention would not instruct the dele gates. The colonel made the state ment that he and his followers would control the convention two to one. On the other hand, the Bryanites declared that victory is assured them and that they would have a safe majority and that the delegates would go to Denver under instructions to vote for the Ne. braSkan

Mrs. Woods Action For Divorce Open
 ed In New York City.
 New York, May 20.-"It is dreadful to contemplate the fact that am sev- enty years old," 1t Is declared, United States Senator Thomas c. Platt wrote in one of his alleged love letters to Mae c. Wood, which were read to Justice O'Gorman when Mrs. Woods divorce action against the senator was finally brought to trial. -
 ''Think of it-'Old Platt' now," he wrote with tragic simplicity. "You had better discard me at once before die"
 'I am an old fool" he said in an other, with frank introspection.
 My little bride to be-" was the salu- tation he is alleged to have used in still another, and in yet one more burn ing love message this distinguished member of the greatest deliberative body in the world sent the lady ga thousand kisses for the one you sent me and thousand times as fervent." Mrs. Wood says that the senator mar ried her in 1901.
 For nearly year Senator Platt has fought the woman's claim and by va rious preliminary motions prevented the actual trial of the case, but 1t was finally called before Justice O'Gorman in the supreme court.
 In her complaint the plaintiff alleges her name is Mae C.. Wood-Platt. She names in her suit Lillian N. Janeway, who was married to the senator in 0c- tober, 1903.
 Senator Platt denies her charges.

LEAVES BEHIND OPEN LETTER

Took Solemn Oath, He Declares, to
 Prevent Disgrace" of Mothers Mem
 ory-Murdered Man Was Millionaire
 Drug Dealer.
 New York, May 20-Desperate be cause he could not dissuade his father from marrying a woman thirty years his junior, George E. Sterry, Jr., shot the old man while the latter was sit ting at his desk in 79 Pine street and then sent a bullet into his own brain So true was the aim of the younger Sterry that both men died in their chairs almost instantly. George E Sterry, Sr., was president of Weaver & Sterry, Limited, large drug import. ing company, and was rated by mer- chants at S2,0Oo,O0O. He was director of several other corporations, was member of the American Tract society and a director of the Princeton Theo. logical seminary. The son who did the shooting was secretary of his fathers company and occupied offices with him on the second floor of the Pine street building. It is believed that he was mentally unsound.
 No one was in the elder Sterry's of flee when he was murdered, but halt dozen members of the firm and em- ployees heard the two shots. All were terrified and did not dare to approach the door of the office for several mo. ments. When finally an employee peep ed through the glass door he saw ia. ther and son motionless in their chairs three feet apart.
 Withstood Sons Objections.
 The woman who came into the old mans life and innocently caused the tragedy was Miss Rachel R. Blaikie, a schoolteacher, of East Orange, N. l., Despite the opposition of his four sons the elder BlaiSie paid court to the teacher, and finally the wedding was announced to take place on June In the home of MT. and Mrs. Cameron Blaikie, parents of the bride to be, in Englewood.
 The story of the tragedy is told in two papers, one found in the coat pock ct of the murdered man and the other in the pocket of his son. The first was an advance marriage notice, which had evidently been prepared for insertion in the newspapers. It read as follows:
 "Married-Sterry-B Blaikie at Engle- wood, N. J., June 3, 1908, at the resi- dence of Mir. and Mrs. Cameron Blai! kie by the Rev. D. Eddy of East Orange, Rachel Blaikie and George Edward Sterry."
 The other paper took the form of an open letter from the younger Sterry.
