SYSTEMATIC SEARCH
 FOR RAD|UM ORE IS STARTED BY MILLIONAIRE WALSH OF COLORADO. His Appeal to Prospectors and Mine
 Owners.

Denver. Aug 26-The discovery of radium ore in the United States is the object of a movement started to- day by Thomas F. Walsh the million aire mine owner Through the Vinson- Walsh research department of the Colorado State School of Mines at Golden. which is supported by MT Walsh, free tests win be made of all samples of pitch blende.
 To meet the preliminary cots of the undertaking Mir. Walsh today sent to President Victor c. Alderson of the school of mines a check for s500O. In his communication to Alderson he makes the following appeal to pros pcctors: "To prospeCtors and mine owners of Colorado: Radium has never been produced in the United States. It comes from pitch blende and is of most priceless value. Austria has a monopoly of this ore. Why should we not produce it in Colorado? The richest prize in the mining world is a rim Of pitch blende ore.
 This ore is apt to be found in many mining sections of the state. In find ing it you will be enriching yourselves. placing your state in the front rank and helping to open a new industry in mining The undersigned trusting ly appeals to his brother prospectOrs and mine operators to. look for this mineral, and he believes doing so will bring great results
 President Anderson stated that to a limited extent the school is ready to furnish responsible persons samples of pitch blende to aid in familiarizing prospectors with its appearance.

against is a positive quantity as to a boost, is Doctor Foss. who can deliver the neatest, strongest quality of the boost in the valley, of course. making some exceptions.
 Another booster, who from all re- ports is soon to be a resident to the valley, and who has several medals down Albuquerque way for his own brand of boosting, is one, Ben Bothe. It is stated that he is an adapt at the business and will be an asset to the Salt river valley; that he will be worth many times his worth in gold. Ben Bothe had not been in Phoenix twenty-four hours before he made the statement that Phoenix is the pride of the west, the best sum- mer resort he has ever entered. The remark as given here does not strike the reader as such a marvellous state ment, but as it was heard, as it was delivered, nothing has equalled it this summer He has aptly been called running mate for Dr. Foss, a second Harvey Betts, a thoroughbred the king of all the boosters in the terri tory. Phoenix will win a prize that should be guarded should Ben Bothe finally consent to make the capital city his home.

FOR TIME AND DISTANCE
French Aviator Offset His Disaster in English Chan nel and Disproved Con tention of Advocates of Bi-Plane.

Bethany. Aviation Field, Rheims, aviator, today took a glorious revenge for the hard luck he experienced in his recent attempts to cross the Eng fish channel, by establishing a new worlds airship record for distance, 154 kilometers, $50 meters, or 95.sS miles. Latham covered 15 laps, or 150 kilo- meters, in ? hours, 13. minutes, sec Onds, and the full distance in ? hours, IS minutes, 9 3-5 seconds, which are worlds records. The flight was at the rate of about 6S1s kilOmeters an hour, as compared with 5312 made by Wright at Lemans, and a fraction un- der the distance made by Paulham yesterday.
 Nothing could have exceeded the beauty and impressiveness of the pro longed flight. In grace of lines no other aeroplane here compares with Latham's mOnOplane. The slightly tilted planes from the long skiff-like body give it a resemblance when close to a winged canoe, while sailing high up in the air It looks like a winged dragon.
 For an hour with fluttering wings. like living thing it fought it's way against the storm of rain and wind at an average height of 150 feet. mounting higher as the wind rose until during the worst of the storm it was up fully 300 feet.
 The contention of the advocates of the biplane that the monoplane would be unable to live in a strong breeze has been amply refuted.

 BEGINNING Openingof National CoRserVa-
 tion Congress SINGLE DISCORDANT NOTE Letter From Governor Hay of Washington Which, by Inference, Seemed to Crit icise Management of For estry Bureau.
SINGLE DIsCORDANT NOTE

Seattle, Wash. Aug. PC The Ma tional Conservation congress, which it had been predicted would witness a personal controversy between the chief forester of the United States and the secretary of the interior, opened pleasantly in the Alaska Yukon Pa cific auditorium this morning with Clifford Pinchot on the platform ap- plauding peace declaration and Sec retary Ballinger in the Kitikas hills, 125 miles away, studying an irrigation project.
 The fact that charges affecting the administra tion of the public lands are receiving the personal attention of President Taft inclines the radicals in the congress to adopt a pacific atti tude.
 When E. II. Lisby of Charleston, Wash, president of the Washington Conservation association, called the congress to order, he pointed out that the congress is held for the sole pur pose of benefiting all the people of the United States, and not for the purpose of exploiting any policies of any one Washington official. We are here to try and work out a policy for the people and not for official dom." said he.
 We constitute a voluntary assem- blaze, not to support or condemn any man or set of men. We are trying to do what is right for all the people and to conserve and teach the right use of all the national wealth of the United States. There is nothing po- litlcal in this meeting. There must be nothing political. Should there be, the objects of this meeting would be lost and it's efficiency sadly diminished"
 MT. Pinchot, who sat on the plat form with President LisbyI was one of the leaders in the applause that greet ed the chairman's declarations of peace.
 The only reference to a possibility of a controversy was contained in a lengthy message from Governor Hay of Washington, which was read to the congress by the secretary. In his message Governor Hay said:
 "A free and untrammeled discussion of the problem of conservation should be invited. The federal government has already entered upon a policy of conservation as respects our timber resources. If abuses have grown up in carrying out that policy, let just criticism have an ample opportunity to point out these abuses to the end that they may be corrected.
 This congress, if it hopes to be of real service to the cause it has adopt ed, must not blind itself to wrongs in the administration of the depart ment that directs the first govern mental attempt at conservation, if there he wrongs. It. must become subservient to the governmental bu- reau, else, for all practical purposes it will become impotent to do good. Neither must it lend itself to further ing the interests of one departmental head at the expense of another.
 The reading of the message from Governor Hay caused no comment The feeling among PinChots friends is that there is no occasion for further controversy and there is little prob ability of the Spokane fight being re- sumed here unless Secretary Ballin- gers friends open the attack.

THE STOCKS OF HARTMAN
Small Importance in Com parison With His Health No Word From Outside World Permitted to Reach Him.

Arden. N Y. Aug. 26.--Whatever the actual prognosis for Mir. Harri- mans recovery. it is evident that his family is determined that he shall make no further sacrifices of his vii taIity in the effort to reassure the public and buoy up the stock market. His isolation in his mountain top home is absolute. Except the selected few of his own immediate entourage, nobody sees him and no word from the outer world reaches his chambered solitude. It is impossible to reach Mir. Hartman, either directly or indi- rectly, unless by his own wish or that of his family.
 Dr Lyle, the family physician, today gave a brief account of his patients progress. MT. Hartman, he said, had been confined to the house for the day by his recommendation, but his eager. inqufsitive mind had been busy with the construction work still in progress in his new home.
 If a certain physician would per init" he said, MT Hartman would be out on the job today, putting the finishing touches on the inclined rail- way himself.
 MT. Hartman passed a good night and ate a hearty breakfast. His present condition is due to a general nervous breakdown and there is noth- ing he needs more than absolute rest"
 Judge Robert & Lowell, who has been mentioned as Harriman's pos sibla ssuccessor came to Arden this afternoon for another conference.
