Psrdee's Warnino.

Seattle. Wash. Aug 27-Advance notice that a fight would be expected on the floor of the national conser- vation congress tomorrow was served by ex-GOvernor Pardee of California, this afternoon, when he informed the convention that the committee on res OlUtiOns would be unable to report at tine opening of the morning session to- morrow and asked that when the re- port is submitted, time may be allowed for discussion.
 There will be a majority and a mi nCrity report said ex-GovernOr Par Gee, "and I want to speak now for time to carry the contest to the floor Of the convention"
 The prospect of hostilities was so pleasing to the delegates that they voted to give adequate time for dis cussiOn when the report of the com mittee on resolutions is submitted.
 Contrary to expectations the Pin -Ballinger controversy is not the cause of the present dissension. The pending contest is over the adoption of a resolution similar to the water right resolution adopted at the Spokane irri- gatiOn congress. favoring government control of power sites. The majority Of the committee favor adopting the Spokane resolution. while three mem bers are advocating that the govern ment permanently relinquish its hold on power sites to applicants for water rights

Former Gov. Pardee, Who Precipitated the Spokane Disturbance, Warns Con-
 servation Congress Water Question Is to Be Settled.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 27.-The sec ond days session of the national con- servatiOn congress was held in the fine arts building of the exposition grounds. When the congress met there was a general feeling of relief that the Ballinger- -Pinchot controversy had been shelved. Former Governor George c. Pardee. of California, let it be known though that there would be trouble the moment an attempt to endorse Secretary Ballinger was made. A majority of the delegates are anx- ious to ignore the controversy.
 Joseph N. Teal. of Oregon, presided at the morning session, and Chief For ester Clifford PinchOt was the princi- pal speaker, his subject being "Prin- ciples of Conservation"
 At the afternoon session MT. Pinchot presided. John Barrett spoke on Tn Independence of Nations in Conserva- tion.' Former Governor Pardee spoke on The Right Use of Resources"

ALTERNATE PLEASURE
 AND DISAPPOINTMENT
Caused by Count Zeppelin's Voyage
 to Berlin.

Berlin, Aug. 27.-Early today the people were thrilled when it was an- nounced that the Zeppelin III. had de- parted from Friederichshafen for Ber- lin. distance of 45O miles. When the news came. however, that a broken propeller and a defective motor had necessitated the landing at Ostheim, the faces of the people fell. When dis patches announced the reascension of the balloon, they greeted them with shouts of joy.
 When bulletins stated that the bal loon had been brought to land at Nuremburg. I50 miles on its journey. for repairs, disappointment renewed. It was only relieved when a telegram was received from Count Zeppelin saying that the airship probably would arrive at its destination on schedule time.

As stated in the foregoing dispatch negotiations which eliminated in the transfer of The Republican had been in progress for some time Dr. ViclIers the late owner and general manager left for Prescott yesterday morning where he was met by Mr. Higley and MT. Ely, who had been stopping with his family at Iron Springs.
 The transfer brings back to The Republican MT. Ely, who was for some years its editor He filled that posi- tion with ability until, and for some time after, his selc ;tiOn by Governor Kibbey as his private secretary. The duties of that office finally became so exacting that he was obliged to sever his relations with The Republi- can. to the great regret of the man. agement.
 Mir. Ely served the governor as private secretary until nearly two years ago, when he was appointed territorial auditor, and he remained in that office until last spring. when he became Governor Kibbey's first selec- ton for membership of the newly created Arizona railway commission. On the organization of the commission he was made chairman.
 The new president of the company, Mir Higley. is one of the strongest men financially of this valley, and one of whose exceptional business ability ample proof has been given. He and MT Ely have been close friends and associates for twenty years.
 The new management secures pos session of The Republican at the most prosperous point of it's career, which has been one of unbroken prosperity for the last ten years. Every year has brought about an increase of its cir culation and it's advertisement patron age, as compared with the year before. but it's greatest stride has been made during the last twelve months, within which it's business has been Increased by more than twenty-five per cent over the volume of the previous year

 Slain in Battle.

There was a full move ment of finished products and notably heavy buying by retailers. Improve ment in demand for hides continues and sales. both domestic and foreign, are larger. Prices on packer hides are firmer and some sales have been made at a slight advance. Prices of leather are easy as a rule. Trade is spasmodic but improvement is confi- dently looked for before long.

HARR|MAN'S CONDITION
 MATTER Of CONJECTURE
Indications that the Great Financier
 Is in a Bad Way.

Arden, N. Y. Aug. 27.-Whatever MT. Harriman's ailment, whatever his true condition, the public is not to know until he and his family decide that such an announcement is oppor- tune. All avenues of information were carefully guarded, but rumors were spread broadcast today that MT. liar riman was about to be operated upon. This supposition was strengthened by the arrival here of two oxygen tanks and cOllapsible cots such as are used in hospitals to move patients between wards.
 Coincident with the arrival of these requisites came two men from New York carrying what appeared to be the black bag of a surgeon. One of the men it was said. is Dr. George w. Grille of Cleveland, Ohio, an eminent specialist in abdominal surgery.

 TAXES THE GRAND PRIZE
AND BREAKS ALL AEROPLANE
 RECORDS.
His Machine One of His Own Con
 trivance

Bethemy, Aviation Field, Rheims Aug. 27.-Henry Farman, the Eng fish aviator, hitherto an unknown quantity in aviation contests in a bi- plane of his own construction broke the worlds records for duration of flight and distance in heavier-than- air machine today and won the Grand PriX de Ia Champagne for the endur- ance test, by a remarkable flight off cially recorded as 1S0 kilometers minutes and 56 twO-fifths seconds or G11.7S milesl in 3 hours. 4 minutes 56 2-5 seconds. He actually covered an extra ten kilometers and remained in the air ten minutes after 7:30 this evening, the hour that the time keep CTS, under the rules ceased to keep a record of the flight.
 The other contestants finished in the order named: ] Hubert Latham, in monoplane No. 29, 154 kilometers 800 meters, time ? hours IS minutes 3-5 seconds: Louis Paulham in a Voisin bi-plane, 131 hlometers; Count de Lambert in a bi-plane, 116 kilometsrs.

 Farman's victory was a complete surprise. He had been preparing his machine secretly and had not appear d upon the field until today, except for few practice flights and had been almost forgotten. Indeed. after he started. keeping close to the ground, while Latham and the others were soaring in spectacular fashion high in the air. Farman attracted no attention until he had flown eighty kilometers. Then suddenly the watchers woke up only to discover that he had gone out carrying petrol enough for a five hours flight and equipped with a self cooling revolving motor.
