Pittsburg May 31.-An doubts concern

were dispe1led when the president while

was the cleanest, the finest, and the man
lest sport in all christendom.
Baseball appears to me as the one
clean sport" said Mr.. Taft. There is no
jockeying. no flimflaming, no. chicanery
as in some other sports. horse racing for
instance. I enjoy baseball; especially did
I enjoy Saturdays magnificent contest

LETTER FROM TAFT.
Defining His Attitude on Conservation
of Natural Resources.

Chicago, May 31.-rhe following
letter, said to be President Taft's
first authoritative utterance on the
conservation of natural resources,
was received here today by A. w.
Shaw, editor of business mems
magazine:
1.-THE conservation of natural re-
sources is a subject which will prop
erly claim from the present ad-
ministration earnest attention and
ppropriate legislation. The neces-
sity for comprehensive and sys-
tematic improvement of our water
ways the preservation of our soil and
of our forests, the securing from
monopolistic private appropriation,
the power in navigable streams. the
retention of the undisposed coal
lands of the government from COM
plete alienation-all these matters
are vitality important to the people
of the United States and to your
constituency, the business men of the
men of the country.
without the resources which
enterprise, energy and Skill would not
in the past have been able to make
headway against hard conditions. Our
children and their children will not
be able to make headway if we leave
to them an Impoverished country.
Our land, our waters, our forests and
our minerals are the sources from
which come directly or, indirectly the
livelihood of all of US. The con-
servation of our natural resources is
question of fundamental i'm
portance to the United States and to
the business man today"

HI. I'll. Rogers Donated Literally to
Tuskegee Institute.

New York, May 31.-Booker T. Washing
ton has revealed the fact that for many
years H. H. Rogers aided in the support of
scores of schools in the south. The Stand
ard Oil official asked Mr. Washington to
act as his almoner, and insisted that his
benefactions be kept secret. In giving an
account of this unknown phase of Mr.
Rogers activities Mr.. Washington said:
1.-The first time I ever met Mr.. Rogers
was in this manner: about 1o years ago q
large meeting was held in Madison SqusS
Garden concert hall to obtain funds fer
the Tuskegee institute. Mr.. Rogers at
tended the meeting, but came late, and
as the auditorium was crowded he could
not get a seat. He stood in the back part
of the hall, however, and listened to the
speaking
1.-The next morning received telegram
from him asking me to call at his office.
When 1 entered he remarked that he had
been present at the meeting the night
previous and expected the hat to be pass
ed but as that was not done he wanted
to chip in something. Thereupon he
handed me ten 81 900 bills for the Tuskegee
institute. In doing this he imposed only
one condition, that the gift should be
mentioned to no one.
Il cannot now recall the. number of
times that he has helped us, but in doing
so he always insisted that his name be
never used. He seemed to enjoy making
gifts in currency.

NEARLY $4,000, 900.
Profit Reaped by Patten and Asso-
ciates on Wheat Deal.

Chicago, May 31.--James A. Pat
ten, monarch of the wheat pit,
wound up his campaign in the May
option with a profit to himself and his
immediate associates of between
s3,50O,00O and $4.000,000. In the last
forthy-eight hours of the time for
May delivery the firm of Bartlett,
Patten & Co., accepted and paid for
about 500, 900 bushels of wheat.
This cash grain, together with about
$3.50, 600 bushels delivered in the first
few days of May, now is in the firms
elevators and constitutes what is
known in the pit as the corpse" of
the deal This is the term applied to
actual grain on hand at the close of
a trading deal.
Inasmuch as cash wheat in Chica-
go is selling for $1.30 a bushel and
more, and is at a hfgh premium over
this price in other large wheat CEN
ters, it will be a live corpse" and
probably will add to the net profit in
stead of figuring as an item of ex-
pense, which usually is the sole func-
ton of the CORPSE
