HoWthe Subject Was Ended in Trans Mississippi Congress THE FORESTER COMMENDED
But Patterson Resolution Calling for a Definite Dis tinction of Forest Lands From Mineral and Agri- cultural Lands Adopted.

Denver, Aug. 2O.-The agitation over the Colorado forest reserves and the activities of Clifford Pinchot broke into an open fire before the trans -Missis- sippi Commercial Congress this after noon and after a hot debate a resOlu- tion calling upon congress for law declaring for a division of agricultural. mineral and forest lands passed. The resolution was one presented by form CT Senator Patterson of Colorado. It had been in committee for two days and the feeling was abroad in the congress that it was an overt attack on Pinchot and this assertion was made on the floor by Frank Gowdy of Denver who opposed the action.
 MT. Patterson said he had no inten- tion of attacking MT. PinchOt and wanted merely a settlement, once for all, of the Pinchot controversy in which which it had been charged that Pinchot has overlooked technicalities in reserving forest lands. The floor was instantly alive with prospective speakers for and against the resolu- tion, and it continued to be so until Gowdy offered an amendment com mending the forestry policies of the administration. This was accepted by Patterson, and in turn Gowdy accept ed the Patterson resolution. Both passe. and this effectively. it is be lieved stopped the forestry dispure.
 The following resolutions were in troduced: That the income tax meas ure become a law; that the tariff com mission of experts be placed in the service; that congress pass a law reg ulating the use of grazing lands; that Alaska be given a territorial legisla- ture; that congress pass a law pre- venting the collecting of federal liquor license in prohibition territory; that aid be extended American shipping.
 The principal speaker of the after noon was Governor Hadley of Mis- souri, who dealt with the rate question in his state. He declared that the rail- road rebate and not the tariff is the mother of trusts. He said that one man was responsible for placing the blame where it belonged, and for put tlnS d quletuS on the rate eNll with such force that it has not shown it's head since. and that man was Roose- welt
 He said he was not in favor of gov ernment ownership of railroads but he would rather see government owner ship of railroads, than a government owned by the railroads. He closed his address by saying he believes the answer to the rate question was in making the great inland waterways navigable.

TIRED
 OF BEING A GOAT
Prepared to Tell What He Knows of
 Heinze Stock Deal.

New York, Aug, 20.-Sterling Bir- mingham, the dismissed loan clerk of the Windsor Trust company, said to- day through his counsel, that ne was tired of being made the goat" in the Heinze Copper stock case. An investi- gation was what he would most well come. It would give him a chance to show that throughout his connection with the loan office he had acted under orders from his superiors
 The grand jury is anxious to de- termine this point, as it was on the af- fidavit of President Young that Bir- mingham was today arraigned in the police court, charged with a misde- meanOr in accepting S250 as a fee for his services in pushing the loan through.
 Three other men who are under in- dictment appeared before Judge Null queen today-Chas. Katz, president of the Eastern Brewing company; A D. s. Adams of Boston, and Walter l.. Clark, the note broker. In Clarks case the records of the court of general ses- siOns which show that he has been previously indicted for forgery and has done time in Elmira, were produced be- fore the grand jury.
 Adams bail was $12,000 more than he could find. and he was sent to the Tombs. Katz had to furnish $25,000, and Clerks bail of $12.000 was con tinued at the request of counsel. Pleading in all three cases was post poned until next Tuesday. The pres- ent attitude of the district attOrney'S office is that nothing criminal has been proved against the trust com pany or it's officers.

Dunns' Review.

In the iron and steel trade this cOndl- ton seems already to be in sight. The railroads are enjoying such Increases in such assurances of good crops that they are buying freely of steel rails and other supplies. Additional orders for shoes are not coming in freely and shoe manufacturers do not look for much business before the close of this month. Buyers feel sure that prices at least will be no higher, The demand for all kinds. of hides shows improve ment.

THE FIRST REPORT
 OF THE COMMISSION
PROTECTION OF HORTICULTURE.
What Has Already Been Accomplished
 in That Direction.

The first annual report of the hor- ticultural commission has been received at the office of the governor. It is a rather long but interesting one, deal ing with the history of the movement in this territory for the protection of horticulture. Attention is called in the opening paragraph to statement made by Professor Cockerell in 1899 speaking of the immunity of this ter ritory from the pests which afflict fruit growers in other states. Profes- sor Ccckerell was not even then will ing to accept the common belief that this immunity was due to the insectici- daI character of the climate, but he apprehended that if some action were not taken the pests would come
 The report states that they have come and the report finds that the territory's former freeness from them was due to it's newness; that when the time came it was made the dumping ground for infested trees which the protective laws of other states barred Among the most common of these pests are now, woody aphis. the cod ling moth. root rot. the red mite. crown gall and pear blight. The report de- scribes what measures have already been taken for their eradication.
 The most of the pests which afflict the citrus fruit industry have been brought from Florida, though CalifOr- mia has contributed in some degree. Professor Forbes of the commission made a trip to Florida to investigate conditions in the nurseries from which the citrus growers in this territory have been supplied.
 The commission was organized at Tucson. with Foster H Rockwell as chairman, R. II. Forbes, secretary treasurer and Andrew Kimball of Thatcher as a member. The territory was divided into two districts one comprising the irrigated part of the upper Gila valley and the other the Salt River valley from Arlington tD Granite Reef.
 Rupert F. Lee WiXom of Thatcher has been appointed quarantine in- spector at $35O day for the first district Much valuable assistance has been rendered by Professor J. J. Thorn Der of the experiment station and Dr. J. Eliot Colt.
 There is left in the report a blank place for the insertion of the law ere

DAY WITHOUT BLOODsHED
Although Strang's Buick Built New Record for 100 Miles, Chevrolet's Time for That Distance in 250- Mile Race Will Count.

Indianapolis, Aug. 26.-Strang and Zengel shared in the honors of the sec ond days automobile racing meet on the new Indianapolis speedway today.
 The former won the fastest 100 miles ever run in this country. The latter established a new ten-miIe record Not a single serious accident 1narred the days racing. The feature was the easy victory of Strang, who drove a Buick, in the 1OO-mile race. Strang led all the way and won by about ten miles in the exceptional time of 132:4S 5-10. At first it was thought this was a new 1O0-mile record for this country, but the officials an- nounced that they had decided to allow the mark 1:32:1S 9-10 made by Che vrolet in the first 100 miles in the 25O- mile race yesterday stand despite the fact that Chevrolet did not finish the race.
 Strang, however, beat Chevrolet's records for nearly all this distance be- tween twenty and 100 miles. Strang's time was more than eleven minutes better than the 10O-mile track record made by Burman at Columbus, Ohio. on July of this year. Burman's reel ord was made on a one mile track. De- witt, in a Buick, finished second to Strang in the long race in 1:41: 32 3-10. and Stillman, in a Marmon, was third. 1:42:37 6-10.
 The fifty-mile race was practically a walk-away for Wright and Schwit- ser, in the Stoddard- Dayton cars. They were the only drivers to finish out of five starters. Wright won easily, talk ing the lead after the ten-mile mark was passed and holding it to the end. Schwitser was leading at the end of the first ten miles, but dropped back to third when both Dewitt, in a Buick, and Wright passed him.
 The five-mile free-fOr- all handicap was the most closely contested race of the day and resulted in a victory for Merz, who drove a National, and his teammate, Aitken, who finished one tenth Of a second behind him, accord ing to the electrical scoring machine. Aitken really made the better time, as his handicap was ten seconds, while Merz received an allowance of twenty seconds. Miller, in a Stoddard-Day- ton, with a thirty-second handicap, was third. Thirteen cars faced the starter in this event and they were divided into four classes, according to the handicaps. It was mad scramble from the pistol shot to the finish.

GRAIN.

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Ideal weather for harvesting the new crop of wheat in the northwest caused a severe slump in wheat prices today, but much loss was regained on covering by shorts. Several leading holders were free sellers during the first half of the day. particularly September. but later the offerings became much more meager. The growing belief that the corn crop in the southwest is being seriously injured by drought
 inspired lively buying of corn which resulted in a strong rally following a slump early in the day, following the break in wheat The market closed strong with prices up %dA to 1Bc.

HIS BROTHERS AVAR|cE
Contributed to Catastrophe. John Roberts, Manufac- turer of a Million Spuri- ous Mexican Pesos, Knew When He Had Enough.

Louisville. Aug. 2O.-Flippancy with a dignified station agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and dishonor among thieves. are among the causes revealed today for the arrest of John Roberts, the million peso counterfeiter.
 Roberts confessedly tbe chief of the makers of the spurious notes was readily located near Simpsonville. An agent approached by Deputy U. S. Marshal Blaydes, remembered that a man in alighting from a train few days ago had called him "oId sport" The treachery ascribed by John Rob erts is against his brother. Marion, who he says stole some of the MeXi- can notes from the trunk and used them to make a proposition to J. M. Fetter & Co. Louisville brokers. which led to Marion Roberts cap ture.
 John Roberts. who with his brother is in jail under a $l5,0OO federal bond, declared that when he had made his million, he had considered it enough for any man and had one dark night sunk the plates in the Ohio river. John Roberts examined the Mexican money carefully when he was em- ployed as engineer on a Mexican rail road and for the last five years in New York he had been experimenting in the making of pesos until his work became almost perfect.
 Had Marion Roberts shared only the small ambitions of his brother and been content to go with John a week ago to Mexico and dispose of the million" John declares they would have been living off the pro- ceeds for years to come.

FRAYNE'S VICTORY.
He Was an Easy Winner Over Dick
 HyIand.

SanFranciscO Cal, Aug. 20.-Johnny Frayne earned a clean-cut decision over Dick Hyland, being awarded a decision by Referee Smith at the end of the twentieth round. Frayne out classed his antagonist and had a lead in every round after the tenth. The fight up to that period was rather tame and uninteresting, with the ad- vatage belonging to neither of the men.
 After the tenth round Frayne tore loose and gave Hyland a systematic beating. Fraynes work was of the highest class and he fairly dazed Hyland with his speed and cleverness. In the eighteenth round he all but sent Hyland to the floor with terrific lefts and rights to the jaw and up percuts to the body.
