MINING PLEA ON Way TO TAFT
DELEGATES CARRY RESOLU-
TIONS TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Whether Federal Department or Blu
reau Is Preferable Under
Discussion.

GOLDFIELD, New, September 30.-Car.
rying a resolution adopted by the Ameri-
can Mining Congress. now in session here.
calling upon President Taft to urge the
federal recognition OF the mining industry
In the United States. the San Francisco
delegation to the congress started home
today to deliver the resolution to the
President upon his arrival in San Fran
cisco.
1t is hoped President Taft will make a
declaration of his position in regard to
growing demand for the esta blishment
of a department or bureau of mines at
Washington.
AS yet the congress has taken no action
upon the matter other than contained in
the resolution.
There is difference of opinion among
the delegation as to whether there should
be established department of mines,
similar to the Department of Agriculture
or only bureau of mines.
That it Is hopeless for the present to
expect the establishment of department
of mines was the contention today of a
number of delegates, who urged that the
resolution in which the convention would
go upon record be drawn up to call only
for a bureau of mines as more likely to
meet the approval of President Taft and
Congress.

WILSON RUMoR 'BOBS UP.
Secretary of Agriculture Again De-
MES Retirement Story.

One of the periodical rumors that Secre-
tary Wilson intends to retire from his
position as head of the Department of Ag-
ricuiture has made its appearance, and
the Secretary has given it the usual black
eye. The rumor this time is that the Sec
rotary will get out of the cabinet Janu-
airy ! next.
THE same old chestnut declared Jas
per Wilson. the Secretarys son and pri-
vate secretary. Secretary Wilson himself
declared there was no truth IN the story.
1t was generally believed when Secretary
Wilson went into the Taft administration
that he did so with string attached
that is. he was TO resign after he had
served a year or SO. President Taft has
declared this to be untrue.
Mr.. Wilson is now serving in his thir-
teenth year as Secretary of Agriculture.
and in a few months he will have been In
the cabinet longer than any other cabinet
officer I'm the history of the government.
He became Secretary of Agriculture
March 4. 1897. and has served contin-
uously ever since.

TO BE OFFICIAL IN CHARACTER

That Dr. Frederick A. Cook. the dis
coverer of the north pole, will receive
greeting from Washingtonians Sun
day calculated to turn a less level head
than his is becoming more and more
evident every minute. Crowds throng-
ed the lobby of the National Theater
all day today to purchase tickets for
his lecture Sunday night, but as the
sale of seats does not begin until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning they were
forced to go away disappointed.
The District Commissioners are eX-
tremely anxious to extend to DIR. Cook
an official greeting, and Mason Peters,
who is managing Dr. Cooks lecture
tour, opened Geographic communication
with the explorer today on this subject.
DR.. Cook will arrive at the Union sta
ton at 3 O'Clock Sunday afternoon. Inc
record crowds that have turned out to
greet him in other cities, notably in Phil
adelphia, where thousands were at the
railroad station when he arrived there
yesterday. have caused Maj. Sylvester to
consider sending a special detail of police
to the Union station Sunday to keep
order The mayor of Philadelphia found
1t necessary to do this yesterday. and q
mounted squad escorted DIR. Cook from
the station to his hotel.
Reception on Monday.
The reception to Dr. Cook at the Dis
trict building will be held Monday morn
ing, if DR.. Cook can be prevailed upon to
remain in Washington for it. He has en-
gagements in Baltimore Monday morning,
and had Intended leaving Washington late
Sunday night. but Mr.. Peters notified him
today of the desire of Commissioners
West and Mcfarland to have the people
of Washington meet him at the District
building, and he may change his plans.
II desire to see DR.. Frederick A. COOK
given a reception at the District building
by the Commissioners on Monday, SAID
Commissioner Mcfarland today. land
shall propose it to the Commissioners as
soon as l learn that he will be mere on
that day. 1 have asked that his repre-
sentatives ascertain and inform me as to
that fact.
LAS I understand it, he Is to lecture
here Sunday night and to lecture in Bal
timore Monday night. 1t seems that some
time Monday he might be In Washington
l desire to show him personally and om-
cially the honor to which 1 believe he is
entitled. 1 believe that both Cook and
Peary found the north pole and that the
honor should be divided between them.
Whenever Commander Peary comes to
Washington shall hope to see him given
reception by the Commissioners. OF
course the citizens of Washington will be
welcome as they always are at the Dis
trict building on the occasion of either
reception, to DR.. Cook or Commander
Peary.
Commissioner West this afternoon said
he earnestly hoped that DIR. Cook would
be able to stay in Washington until Mon
day morning, so that the Commissioners
would have the pleasure Of giving him a
reception.

Murder Trial.

WARRENTON, Va. September 30
With interest undated, the third day OF
the trial of Prof. j. D. Harris for the kill
ing of Editor w. A. Thompson found the
defendant still on the stand undergoing
cross examination. The whole of the
morning session of the court was taken
up by the questioning of the common
wealth's attorneys. Although the de-
PENDANT was subjected to rigid inqulsi-
ton relating to the happenings leading
up to the shooting, nothing new was de-
veloped from his testimony of yesterday.
In an attempt to show that Harris had
previously bsen free with pistol under
less provCcation than when he shot
Thompson, counsel for the state produced
E. F. Ramey of Strasbufg, Va. who, it
is alleged, Harris had trouble with while
teaching at Purcellville. The court. how
ever, sustained an objection by counsel
for the defense that such evidence was
not relevant in the present case. and the
witness was not allowed to testify.
Women to Testify.
Upon the conclusion of Harris examina-
ton. which it is expected will be some
time this afternoon. the defense will put
en- the stand several women whose testi-
mony will relate to the alleged attack
made on Harris by Thompson at the depot
on the night of the shooting.

aroused to fever heat the enthusiasm of
the men trying to promote the meet here
There is no note of failure. Every
body is expressing the opinion that now
Is the time to strike the strong blows
to secure the meet, and Baltimore may
expect to be aviation crazy for some
time to come.
Plans for a mass meeting of repre-
sentatives of the trade organizations
ganizatjons and railroad and transpor-
tation lines in the city council cham
bers next Thursday evening at o'clock
and the appointment of Messrs. ]. AL
bert Hughes Edward X. Pattison ana
Charles s. Abel to form a Baltimore
aero club, as an arm Of the Aero Club
of America, were the two important
steps taken today toward the actual
bringing of the meet here.
The mass meeting is for the purpose
of starting the public interest which is
forecasted to favorably impress the New
Workers with the advisability of giving
Baltimore the preference and the aero
club will be used to furnish Baltimore a
suitable representative through which to
present her claims.
Col Joyce announced that President
Bishop, who Is abroad, will start for this
side October III and will arrive about
October Il, so all plans Hust De maze
rapidly to anticipate his return.
Col. Joyce Coming to Find Out.
Meanwhile there is the cooperation
with the Washington committee to be
looked after, and Col. Joyce will go to
the capital tomorrow to learn exactly
what the Washington people propose to
do. If they don't stick to the original
nroposition of assisting Baltimore to get
the meet at a point between Baltimore
and Washington. like College Park, then
Baltimore will throw Washington over
and try to get the meet for herself
Il understand that the Washington peo-
pie. since our last conference. have been
talking about trying to secure the meet
for the Potomac fats" said Col. Joyce.
.'That would give Washington the affair
exclusively. and we will not stand for
sOch thing
