Twenty-Ninfh Annual Convention Bc' gins in Torente--Pfeslaenf Re- ports on Bnes<s Stove
 Company Matter.

Toronto. Nov. s.-That the American Federation of Labor intends to stand by President Gompers, Vice. President John Mitchell and Frank Morrison. n their fght. to evade the jail sentences imposed for contempt of court. was indicated today by the attitude of the delegates in attendance at~the twenty ninth annual convention.
 It is apparent that the conimittee on the Presidents report VIII recommend that the case be carried to the Su- preme Court of the United states. At least this is the expressed opinion or many of the delegates.
 The delegates vigorously applauded noints in MT. Gomperss report, sum marizlng the Buck stove and range in- function case, and the contempt pro- ceedings which followed.
 Reports of Secretary Frank Morrt- son and Treasurer John B. Lennon showed that organized labor has made substantiaI gains in the past year. and that the funds of the Federation are at high tide. with balance of s1s5,3os in the treasury.
 The conventions attitude toward the factional strife among the members of tha international Brotherhood of Elec- tricai workers was shown today when the credentials committee reported Tn favor of the faction headed by F. J. McNulty and declined to seat Jamse J. Reid. of the Erie (Pa.) Central Labor Union, president of the ''insursents, and other delegates from organizations in ohio, Iowa, Alabama and Micnigans v,h oae charters have been revoked by the Federation.
 The greater part of tomorrow's ses- sion will be devoted to the report of the executive council and the various committee appointments will be read.

 The committee. it was authoritatively announced, will not go to Copenhagen fin the prosecution of its inquiry. but will rely on data obtained otherwi It will have authority to interrogate such persons and make such Journeys as may be regarded essential finally to. determine the question of the discovery of the pole.

 During the war Mrs. Palmer travei- ed with the Confederate divisions of Generals Johnson. Hood. BeaureEard and Wilson and she was present ht those leaders participated.
 Mrs. Palmer was born in North Car- oiina but spent her girlhood in Hia- watha, Ga. Her husband fought in the Mexican War. He died before the Civil War broke out. but Mrs. Palmer was left with one child. She was livlnE at Chattanooga. Tenn. when the sick and wounded Confederate soldiers were being brought In from the front and their woeful lack of proper zt- tention appealed to her and led her to begin organizing systematic hos- pital corps.
 Her officiai title was that of matron and her status in the army was the same as an enlisted soldier.
 Mrs Palmer came to Colorado tWen- ty-six years ago. Her daughter. who stiIi lives in this city. is the wife ef former Supreme Court Justice Charles D. Hayt.
 Several years ago Mrs. Palmer bee came interested in mining and while on q prospecting trip discovered vHi~ uable soda mine In this state. She in,- mediately began studying assayfng and was considered an expert on ore.

Concluding the President said:
 Now with respect to the Southland. my reception has. been fraught with sweet qualification to me because I have felt that the people of the South were glad to see me and wished to show me by their reception that they will join with me in what I said when I promised in my administration to make completely forgotten all sectional lines and everything that would tend to separate us. (applause). not to forget our cherished traditions. not to forget the heroes of our particular sections in that awful struggle that we call the civil war In the North and you call the war between the states. nor to abate one bit of our pride that has now be- come the common heritage of all Amer leans. but to rejoice that while those grave times showed the character of American heroes and the character of American self-sacrifice, to rejoice that 1t is now in the past and with the future before us is with nothing but harmony anJ love between all our people" (Applause.)

 marks the end of the Western and southern trip. It will not by any means be the end of the, presidents travels prior to the opening of the congress sional session In December. Mir. Taft will be in Washington less than twen- ty-four hours being scheduled to leave the capital at 5:35 D. m. on Thursday for Middletown, Conn. where he will witness the installation of President shanklin. of Wesleyan University. The president will go to Norfolk the 18th and to Hampton. Va. the goth. return ing to Washington the morning of No- vember 2l.
 It is not likely that the president will do any work on his message to Con- gross until after his Norfolk trip. He has the message pretty we'll in hand SO far as ideas are concerned and 1t will not take him long to dictate the document once he gets down to it.
 The president already has outlined theessentiai points of the message in his speeches during the present trip. The details of his recommendations as to the amendment of the interstate commerce and anti-trust laws. how ever. have yet to be formulated for he will not receive the report of Attorney General wickersham and his other ad- visers on this subject until after his re- turn to Washington.

 The matter of financial legislation, if brought to the attention nf the next session of Congress at all. undoubted- iy win be treated within a special mes : sage. There is strong likelihood that in view of the many other matters that are pressing for attention in the presi- dents program of recommended legis- lation. the financial and currency meas ures will wait until the sessions be- ginning in December, 1910. There also has been much talk of an extra session in the fall of 1910 to take up the sub- feet. 7f

Prcsidenf of National Conservation As- aociatien Foints Out Defeess In

 sftuation fn Alaska.

New York, Nov s.-Dr. Charles w. Eliot, as president of the National Conservatien Association today autho- rized a statement of the danger of monopolistfe control of the sources of power Tn this country. which is declar- ed to be urgent. The statement Is in the form of as appesi to the American people and deals particularly with the much discussed Questi0n of the coal fields of Alaska and sheds new light on that situation.
 pr. Eliot also points out that water fall power sources are in danger.
 The Alaskan coal fields, he says contain fifteen billion tons which "stiii remain the heritage of the people. But bad as is the general coal land law of the United States, that of Alaska is even worse. for there the government is absolutely limited to charge of 310 an acre."
 { This is less than one-tsnth the value of the Alaskan coal lands. the statement says.
 pr. Eliot points out that although this field was recently withdrawn from entry, the legality of that withdrawal may be questioned. Even if the 300 entries already made for this land are declared fraudulent, he says new ciai- mants may file on them.
 pr. Eliot says that in view of Mir. Taft's Spokane speech he believes the administration will propose the trial of the Alaskan coal land claims as the National Conservation Association has urged.
 Comprehensive legisIatioR Is needed for the effective development of both coal and water power development. pr. Eliot says and his statement appeals to the American people to bring "the urgent needs of the situation to the att tention of their representatives In con eress.'s
