SEATTLE, Aug. 27.-The fol-
lowing telegram from President
Taft was read today before the
first national conservation con-
gress by Joseph N. Teal, of Ore
goL, who presided at the morning
session.:
Executive Offices, Beverly.
Mass, Aug. 26.-First Nation al
Conservation Congress, Seattle,
Wash.-I congratulate you on the
object of your meeting and sin
cerely hope that your deliberation ,
will result In useful conclusions.
"You can count upon the earn
est support of this administration
OF the policy of conservation of
natural resources by every rea-
sonable means properly within the
federal Jurisdiction and such rec
concentrations to congress as may
be best adapted to secure useful
Legislation toward the same end.
WILLIAM H. TAFT.
The reading of the telegram W ,s
greeted with enthusiastic applau e
by the delegates. 1t is the source
of much qualification to the men
who are fighting for strong
resolutions endorsing an active
policy in the conservation of water
power, forests and public lands.
Pinchot Talks.
The second day of the congress
was opened by Clifford Pinchot,
United States chief forester, in an
address which had been awaited
with some eagerness by his friends
and opponents.
1t did not prove a bombshell,
however, being a comparatively
brief statement of his policies.
He expressed qualification and
confidence regarding the attitude
of President Taft toward the work
of the congress. In accordance
with the decision not to allow any
references to the recent contro-
versy to enter the discussions, he
did not refer to the differences
with Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger.
The resolutions committee elect
ed ]. b. White of Kansas City
as permanent chairman and named
former Governor Pardee of CaIi-
fornia as chairman of the sub
committee to draft the resolu-
tions. Both are strong Pinchoi
men.

TURNER'S, N. Y, Aug. BE.
Fl. Hartman, the railroad king.
is being more closely guarded
than is the czar of Russia.
Armed men today are patrolling
the mountains in the vicinity OF
Arden with implicit instructions
not to allow anyone to approach
within three miles of the Harri-
man palace, unless he be a mem
Der of the family, a business as
sociate or one of the coterie OF
eminent physicians that are at
tending the financier.
These are Harriman's orders
and they are being carried out 10
the letter.
Hasn't Walked 100 Steps.
1t was positively learned today
that the wizard has not walked a
hundred steps since his return to
Arden, and that the members of
his family are alarmed at his con-
dition. When he is not asleep
Hartman is wheeled about in an
invalids chair. But he sleeps a
great deal. He is not even allow
ed to go out into the open air.
He had his first experience yes
terday in the open air since his
return to his summer home, when
he ordered one of his nurses tc
wheel him out into the sunshine
Even then he went no furthe
than the veranda of his home.
| Ordered Indoors.
Shortly afterward DR.. Lyle, tn"
personal physician of the wizard
came upon the scene. and foun?
Hartman basking in the sun
shine. He was surprised and or
dered that the wizard be carried
indoors at once.
Then he gathered the Hartman
attendants about him and threat
ened to dismiss the next one that
wheeled the railroad king outside
/ of the sick room.
May Perform Operation.
Despite denials of the physician,
the eIUplOytS VI CuC iloii imam GO
tate firmly believe that the mag
nate is suffering from malignant
cancer and that an operation soon
| is to be performed.
The Hartman estate covers the
entire mountain and is fourteen
miles square. It's altitude is
1000 feet.
Shipment of Oxygen
Shortly after noon today two
loads of chemically pure oxygen
were unloaded at Arden, e. H
iHarriman's country seat, from a
special train and placed In one OF
Harriman's automobiles. The
chauffeur drove full speed to the
house with his load.
Shortly. before the oxygen ar
rived two men carrying medical
cases and apparently physicians
left the train here. When asked
their mission one of them replied:
Don't bother u.s." 1t is thought
ian operation is to be performed
today.

Schiively
Cleared
ESCAPES IMPEACHMENT By
NARROW MARGIN OF TWO
VOTES AND LONG FACTION.
AL FIGHT ENDS.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OLYMPIA, Aug. 27.-State In-
Burance Commissioner Schively
was acquitted on every count by
the senate in the impeachment
proceedings last night. On the
perjury charge not a vote was re-
corded against him and on the
other counts the senators wobbled
about, running from II to 26
against him, the highest vote
against him being on the count
charging him with drawing double
salary as deputy insurance com
missioner and as president Of the
pany. On this the vote stood 26
against to IA for him. 1t took 28
votes to convict, SO he was saved
by two votes.
Peculiar Situation.
The rather peculiar situation
presents itself of an official admit
ting he took money from insur-
ance companies contrary to law
and the senate refusing to SO find
on the trial of the case and 1T
the same time refusing to find the
official guilty of perjury.
The whole case is looked upon
by the people as a farce, in which
factional politics entered ON both
sides with the usual result that
the guilty go free and the people
get the worst of it and pay the
bill besides.
How Vote Stood.
The roll call on article "a,
which acquitted J. H. Schively, un-
der trial for impeachment, result
ed as follows:
Guilty-Allen, Anderson. ARA

WITH
81, CAR
CO,
City Officials Show No
Disposition to Surren-
der to Traction
Companies

A big row is brewing between
the city and the street railway
companies, according to indica-
tions today.
The council this week agreed to
vacate all the unused franchises
owned by the T. R. & P. and fur
ther gave orders for the removal
of the connecting crossing put in
to bind the Traction and T. r. &
p. lines. If the company does not
remove the tracks then the COM
missioner is to do 1t.
Manager Dimmock responds to
this with statement which is in
effect a dare to the city. He says
IL the city takes the tracks up 1t
will save the company the trou-
BILE IL they have to come up, and
he says further that the company
will then simply go out In the
country and connect the lines
where they cross.
But the council will have him
over a barrel on this point also,
1t is said.
Judge Stiles declares that the r.
r. & p. has no right to run its
cars over the Traction company
lines and vice versa, as the COM
panies are limited to the use of
streets on which they have fran
chises. The Traction company has
no right to run its cars on the T..
r. & p. lines.
The councilmen say they are not
looking for trouble, but If the
street railway company wants it
there is plenty of room for fine
battle, and the city will not be
slow in getting into the ring. The
notice has not yet been sent to
Manager Dimmock ordering the
South Tacoma crossing out, but it
will probably go down in a few

Wireless Calls for Help.
The news of the wreck was
flashed by wireless by Operator
Eccles as soon as the ship struck
the rock. The call for help, "S.

air. 1t was picked up by the
wireless operators on board the
steamers Humboldt and the Ru-
pert City.
All the ships were equipped with
United Wireless telegraph appar-
atus.
Eccles barely had time to flash
the information that the Ohio was
sinking and told the other ships
what her location was. Almost
instantly the Humboldt and the
Rupert City had started toward
the scene, when suddenly the WIRE

that they had '1ost" the Ohio.
