brance for the head OF their family,
who in his life was an ideal husband
and father, they have refrained from
moving any of the belongings of Uncle
Dick. The coat that he removed and
laid on his fine oak reading table the
last time he came home from the pen

this day. In the adjoining bedroom the
bed clothing of Uncle Dicks bed is
turned back as tho it's old occupant

His favorite books occupy the places in

of the household.
Papers and books and newspaper
files and correspondence that are Of the

collections of Uncle Dick and many
prominent people would like to see
them placed in the historical depart

Granville M. Dodge and other no.ed
men of the state which have already
been turned over to the department.
The family of Uncle Dick is now
scattered only one son and the mother
remaining in Des Moines and the
homestead Of fifteen or eighteen rooms
which stands we'll down town between
the Plymouth Congregational and the
Central Christian churches they con-
sidered too large for them and they
have moved to smaller quarters. The
home still stands and is kept in perfect
repair. The estate is still unsettled.
Just what will be done with the old
homestead probably not even the men,

desires if possible to keep the peace
with Pinchot. The president realizes
fully the Importance of not making
any conservation martyrs" He
knows that if he were to dismiss Pin
chot, or even accept his resignation,
which Pinchot has more than once
said he was ready to hand in at any
time, big fuss would be stirred up
among the conservationsts of the
country. The controversy would focus
among the insurgents of the middle
west states and the difficulty might
easily develop into presidential size
affecting in some degree the 1912 cam.
paign.
The president does not want by
any act of his to contribute to what
might possibly be trouble for himself
or the men in the party who have been
standing behind him. He therefore un-
til now has submitted to all the talk
ing of the Pinchot people, although
it has required good deal of patience
on his part. But the Pinchot Letter he
does not like and he still has it un-
der consideration.
Mr.. Pinchot has published a short
statement saying that he has issued
no ultimatum to the president or any
thing resembling one. 1t is likely that
he has said in his letter what he
really believes to be true, but that
his letter to the president is danger
ously near being an ultimatum is the
opinion of many who have seen it.
1t is gingery and peppery to de-
gree that the administration does not
relish.

bell hanging overhead.
At exactly twelve o'clock Mr.. G.

FIGHT HIMSELF INTO SHAPE.

Madden Says Jeff Cannot Get Into
Condition in a Gymnasium.
New York, Nov. 20.-William Mad
den, who is now following in the
footsteps of Muldoon as a physical
culturist and has a health resort not
far from this city, says that Jeffries'
chances for beating Johnson will be
rather slim unless he INDUCES in sew
eral real fights with second and third
raters before he enters the ring with
the negro. Madden argues that the
mere reduction of weight by dint Of
constant exercise cannot fit a pugilist
after four or five years of idleness,
and that there is no way to test ones
stamina except in hard bout of ten
or fifteen rounds where it is neces-
sary to give and take punishment in
addition to bringing into play all kinds
of ring tactics. Madden says that
Jeffries, when he beat Rubin in five
rounds at Frisco in 1901, was undoubt-
edly the greatest heavy weight who
ever pulled on a glove, Madden still
is a firm believer in Jeffries, but he
is inclined to doubt the boilermaker's
ability to show the wonderful form
of eight years ago.
1t is understood that in the near
future another attempt will be made
to induce Jeffries to meet Kaufman
in 10-round bout or even one Of six
rounds. If the battle can't be arranged
Jeffries may be asked to tackle Jim
Barry, the Chicago heavy weight, who
stayed thirty nine. rounds with Kauf-
man nearly two years ago. Jeff's be-
lief that a battle with these, either
Kaufman or Barry, would not be of
interest is not shared by many sport
ing men who say that a real test of
the boiler makers stamina would at
tract worldwide attention.

PiNCHOT'S LETTER.
President Wants to Retain Pinchot in
Conservation Interests.

Washington, Nov. 20-News is not
news until it has been published. 1t
seems that the letter from Clifford
Pinchot to President Taft was writ
ten a week or ten days ago, but that
both the president and Pinchot were
so successful in keeping it to them
selves that nobody on the outside got
hold of it until yesterday. Even Sec
retary Carpenter while knowing that
such a letter had been received by
the president apparently did not know
that it was a week or ten days old.
1t has displeased the president very
much.
1t seems that the president had
had several conferences with Pinchot
during which the case was all gone
over from the Pinchot side. At the
conclusion of the last of these con-
ferences, the president suggested that
1t might be a good thing if Pinchot
were to reduce his statements to writ
ing so that they might be placed in
the white house files for reference.
When making this suggestion, 1t
is said, the president had no idea
Pinchot would make the letter as
strong as he did and indirectly issue
an ultimatum. The Pinchot letter has
been discussed with Secretary Ballin-
ger and with other members of the
cabinet, and an answer to it has not
yet been prepared. Whether the an
swer will be in writing or verbal is
not known, indeed, the president is
said to be undecided as to whether
to answer 1t at all.
1t is evident that the tone OF the
letter was disappointment to him
and that only his good humor and
patience prevented him from taking
drastic action at once.
The possibility Of politics entering
into the controversy is said to be the
principal reason why the president

Officers Deny Report That New Stock
Is to Be Sold.
New York, Nov. 2O.-The New York
Times says:
Revival of the rumor that the Chi
cago & Northwestern Is planning an
issue of new stock to the extent of
one new share for each four shares
now outstanding, has brought out the
statement from an officer of the com
pany that no action has yet been
taken regarding a new issue of stock
There is about seventy-eight million
dollars of authorized common stock
which the company has not yet issued,
and this the directors have authority
to authorize at any time up to such
amount as they may deem necessary
for the needs of the company. Before
the directors can take any such action,
however, they must first under the
laws of Michigan, make application
for approval of the issue by the rail
way commission.
Vice President Osborn now points
out this fact, saying that the North
Westerns policy was to keep the pub
lie fully informed regarding it's affairs,
and that any issue of stock by the
company would be made public about
as quickly as the directors of the road
themselves decided on the matter. No
meeting of directors was held yester
day, but President Hughitt was ex.
pected in the city, and it was thought
in Wall street that his coming in
dicated directors meeting with the
next few DAYS.

A LARlAT WON OVER BULLETS
Officers Who Had Been Cowboys
Cauuht a Fleeing Thief


Caught a Fleeing Thief.
Rawlins, Wyo,, Nov. 20.-Unable to
check his flight by scores of revolver
shots fired for the purpose of fright
ening him into surrendering, deputy
sheriffs brought their skill with the
lariat into play and roped Maxim AS
asomasor, charged with robbing Union
Pacific box cars.
Asasomasor escaped through an un-
derground passage leading to a cave
from his house, which had been sur
rounded by deputies for four days
He fled bareheaded and bare footed
through the sage brush and over a
snow covered prairie for a distance of
five miles, undaunted by bullets whiz-
zing about him.
"Shoot me, I'll not be taken alive"
shouted the fugitive to his pursuers.
But he had not reckoned about the
skill of the deputies, all of whom are
ex-cowpunchers, and soon a lariat
skillfully thrown tightened under his
arms and held him captive.

NEED FOOD, NOT MEDICINE.
Physicians Find Many Pupils Suffer
ina From Il-Nourishment.

Kansas City, Nov. 20-"Many cases
of anaemia and inanition, the result
of lack of nourishment, were found
in the schools I inspected. What can
be expected of children who have been
sent to school on a breakfast of weak
coffee and a crust of bread? Some
of the pupils were half starved. They
were nervous and exhausted mentally
and physically. In New York and
some other cities free monday lunch
cons are provided for the pupils. If
Kansas City is to be thorough in the
work it has undertaken in the schools
this must follow here"
That is the conclusion reached by
one of the staff of medical examiners
in the schools. Conditions found by
some of the other physicians consti
tute quite as strong an indictment
of the old system-or lack of system
which is now being superseded.

Britisher in 45-Round Affair.
New York, Nov. 20-If Battling Mel
son means what he says he will agree
to a match of forty-five rounds with

Nelson, who refereed ten round fight
between Bert Keyes and Matty Bald
win at Schenectady, N. Y, Tuesday
night, announced that he had decided
as the Englishman arrives here next
month, a match can be arranged.
Nelson's sudden shift comes in
the nature of an agreeble surprise
to ring followers, inasmuch as he has
studiously ignored WeSh's business
like challenge for more than two
years. But Nelson explains that
Welsh is now entitled to fight in
view of his recent victory over Johnny
Summers in England after which he
was formally declared the champion
light weight of Great Britain by Lord
Lonsdale and other leading members
of the National Sporting club. Fur
thermore, Nelson makes it plain that
the fight must call for forty-five rounds
or there will be nothing doing.
"Welsh is a first class boxer" says
Nelson, "but, that lets him out. II
we fight he'll probably run many miles
around the inside of the ring to keep
