CONSERVERS TO
LOCATE WASTE
NATIONAL COMMISSION AN
NOUNCES PLANS
WATER, FORESTS, LAND AND
MINERALS INCLUDED
VIII Attempt TO Devise Means to save
Resources-lnquirIes Sent Out
Indicate Big
Work

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The ma
tional conservation commission mas JUST
made public the first of its scneoules
on which the inventory OF the country
natural resources Is being conouc.eu,
It Is plainly evident from the IN
ouiries being sent out the commission
intends to hunt down waste IN all It's
varied forms, and to devise some means
to prevent it,
This is apparent in the general sched-
uIes to each of the four sections or the
commission-waters, forests, lands ana
minerals. For instance, the scheouie
relating to lands inquiries into waste
of soil by erosion. That schedule alsO
suggests waste through bad agricul-
tural methods"
The lands schedule likewise goes into
waste in the carrying capacity OF the
public range In the west.
THE section on waters Is inQulrlne
into how much land capacity OF lrrl-
cation is wasted by not being irri-
gated.
More important still is it's suggestive
INQUIRIES tending to show that we are
wasting our waterways to an alarming
extent by not using them as we snouio.
Perhaps the greatest form OF Wass :
brought out in the entire scheduis is
that relating to water power. Two OF
the Inquiries are as follows:
"Are existing developed water powers
nut to their full use? To what extent
can coal be saved by the substitution
OF water powerT
Under the head Of flood waters, the
commission inquiries as Ito what extent
are flood waters wasted?'
The mineral section of the commits
sion Is seeking to find out the nature
and extent Of waste In the mining, eA.
and methods of preventing or lessen
ing this waste.
The commission Is also conducting 9
census by correspondence to find out
the common waste In 'the wood using
industries. =,
The returns from the inquiries will
form part of the report of the-eommis-
sion.

CATHOLICS HAVE
GREAT PAGEANT
CONTINUED from PAGE One,


the people, who -everent1y bowed their
acknowledgment.
On either side of Cardinal Vannutelll
were his chief captains and the guard
of honor, composed of Catholic peers.
Following the legate came the men,
bers of the pontifical mission, the car
dinals in their order, two by two, each
with his train bearer and chaplain; the
archbishops and other prelates, includ-
ing the representatives of absent bish-
ops, the whole procession being upward
of a mile long and occupying nearly an
hour to cover the route.
In the streets surrounding the cathe-
dral the prelate passed through ave-
nues of kneeling adherents of their
faith, the curious and any who might
have come to jeer being crowded out Of
this vicinity.
Procession Broken Up
At one place, where several streets
converge, the crowd was so great that
the spectators broke up the process
sion, but the police stationed at this
point in strong force managed eventu-
ally TO clear narrow lane through
which the papel legate and the others
passed in single file.
The crush here was frightful for half
an hour, and the police had to use
heroic measures. Although there was
some isolated jeering the people were
more intent on sightseeing than on in
terfering with the Catholics.
On their return to the cathedral the
prelates marched around the interior
of the edifice, the legate carrying the
host as he would have done in the
streets had the government not inter-
posed an objection.
Those who had been crowded out OF
the cathedral were permitted to par
ticipate in the ceremony, as the legate,
robed in his vestments, appeared. on
| the balcony outside the building and
presented the sacred sacrament and
pronounced the benediction.
The vast assemblage that filled the
square then sang hymns and the men,
bers of the Catholic societies, with ban
ners flying, marched through the
streets to their hall and churches and
proceeding later to the stations where
trains were waiting to take them back
| to the provincial centers whence they
| had come to attend the service.
In the meantime the papal legate
| within the building pronounced the
benediction and the congress closed.

train No. 4, Chicago to New Yark ex-
press, at Geneva, Pa, a small station

A majority of the former were italian
and Greek laborers. 1t Is not believed
any of the victims win die.
Train Going Fast
The train is due here at 1850 a. m,
but was an hour late and was run
ming over fifty miles an hour. Upon
striking the open switch the entire
train left the track, the engine turning
over upon its side.
Two of the cars, combination smok-
err and baggage and a day coach, were
demolished. A majority of the injured
were riding in the combination car, be-
ing foreign laborers travelling second
class.
Among those injured were Mrs. Myr-
