ATTACK ON PINCHOT
GOVERNMENT FOREST AGAIN SUB
JECT OF DEBATE.
Trans Mississippi Congress Adopts
Resolutions Calling for Divtsfon
81 Agricultural, Mineral and
Forest Lands.

Denver. Col, Aug. 20.-Irhe agitation
over the Colorado forest reserves and
the activities Of clifford Pinchot broke
into open fire before the trans Missis-
sippi Congress this afternoon and after
a hot debate q resolution calling upon
Congress for q law declaring for al,
vision Of the Agricultural, mineral and
forest lands was passed.
The resolution was the one present.
cd by Former Senator Patterson. OF
Colorado. 1t had been IN committee
for two days and the feeling was
abroad that 1t was an overt attack on
Mr.. Pinchot.
Mr.. Patterson said he mad no inten-
ton of attacking Mr.. Pinchot and
wanted q settlement OF the Pinchot
controversy In which It had been
charged that Mr.. Pinchot has over
looked technicalities In reserving for
est lands.
Instantly the floor was alive with
prospective speakers for and against
the resolution and 1t continued to be
so until Frank Gowdy of Denver offer
ed an amendment commencing the for
estry policies of the administration.
This was accepted by Mr.. Patterson
and in turn Mr.. Gowdy accepted the
Patterson resolution. Both were pass
ed. This Is regarded as stopping the
forestry dispute which has been the
factor most feared through the session.
Governor Hadley. OF Missouri, in an
address declared the railway rebates
and not the tariff Is the mother of
trusts. He said Roosevelt was respon-
sibie for placing the blame where IL
belongs. He was not In favor OF the
government ownership Of railroads, but
would rather see this than the govern
ment owned by the railroads. He de-
clared the answer to the rate question
lies in making navigable the great in
land waterways.

Riclxetson that he murdered Matte
Graham. a wealthy and refined young
woman whose body was discovered In
a swamp near her home at HokesDoro'

TO herr field for q melon. he followed
and found her.
Both started back to the house side

cut one side of her throat.
She turned and looked MIN In the

and cut her in the side as she fell.
He stamped her in the face. washed

for the crime was that he had rather
