Conservation connress.

An important conservation congress
met in New Orleans, attended by dele
gates from ii southern states, and by
numerous persons interested in the
conservation movement from other
parts of the country. This convention
will be in session at the same time
as the annual convention of the Lakes
to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways associa-
tion. Conservative people believe that
the time has come for definite action
looking to the conservation of the ma
tions great natural resources, and it
will be the desire of those who will be
in control of the New Orleans conven-
tion to have action taken that will put
the principles of conservation into
practical effect at the earliest possible
time.

terested parties did not take advan-

postoffice was set up on the aviation
ground and all letters there posted
bearing the ordinary French stamps

The marking stamp was hexagonal
instead of round. These stamps will,
no doubt, be curiosities. Time will
tell whether they will be sought after

fetched just as high a sum as the
years revenue of the swamp In

The MessIna Earthquake.

The Italian statistical bureau re-
Gently published an estimate of the
mortality In the great Messina earth
quake. The total number of persons
killed in the three provinces Of Mes
sina in Sicily. and Reggie and Catan-
zaro In Calabria Is put at 1858. At
Messina alone 10000 persons were
killed-almost half of the inhabitants.
The number of persons injured is
unknown and very probably never will
be ascertained. On an average it can
be said that two persons were injured
for every one killed; hence approxi-
mately about 10000 persons were in
jured.
No estimate of the damage to prop
erty has been made, but it is known
that 231 cities, towns and villages suf'

deep waterway work Is now in this
condition.:
/. The sanitary district OF Chicago
has built the deep waterway, practi-
cally to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and
$60000,0O0 have been spent thus far

2. The entire route of the lakes-to-
the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans, through the Des PLANES
river, the Illinois river and the Mis-
sissippi river, has been surveyed un.
der direction of congress by United
States engineers, who have officially
reported to congress that the building
of the deep waterway is feasible.
g. The people of the state of ILL
nois have adopted a constitutional
amendment providing for a bond is
sue of $20,000,000, the money to be
spent in constructing the deep water
way southwark from Joliet
T. A bill introduced by United States
Representative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri is now pending in congress,
providing for the issuance by the
United States government of bonds to
the amount of $500, 900, 900, the money
to be spent in constructing this deep
waterway from the lakes to the gulf
and other meritorious projected river
improvements.
5. II is intended to ask the Sixty

Selling Land For Taxes.

Monday the law reserving to the
state mineral, coal, oil and gas rights
in all state tax lands sold went into
effect, and in anticipation of that there
has been a rush by spectators and
others this week to buy up lands on
which there is a possibility of dis.
covering valuable deposits. Within
the past days the amount of sales
will probably run higher than for any
other similar period during the year.
Some upper peninsula men have had
exciting races down to Lansing to Sc

The section reserving to the state

THE CASUALTIES SHOW THAT
THE GAME HAS MANY
DANGERS.
BYRNE DIES OF INJURIES.
The West Polnt-Harvard Game Had a
Terrible Ending = other Injured
Players.
Killed. Injured.


All West Point is plunged in gloom
over the death of Eugene A. Byrne,
OF Buffalo, as result of being in
jured in the HarvardWest Point game
Saturday.
The Army and Harvard lined up on
their scheduled time and a large
crowd was witnessing the game,
which promised to be one of the best
of the season Young Byrne was play
ing his usual position at left tackle.
The game was in progress but 10
minutes in the second half when he
met with the accident by being
thrown in a scrimmage. When Byrne
remained stretched on the ground the
game was halted and he was carried
off the field in an unconscious con-
dition.
Only the immediate resort to arti-
fetal respiration kept the boy from
almost instant death, for he did not
draw a natural breath after receiving
the fatal shock. Surgeons were un-
able to make a complete examination
Saturday night on account OF his
critical condition, and opinions varied
as to whether blow on the spine or
on the solar plexus caused the par
alysis. But X-ray photographs taken
after his death revealed dislocation
between the first and second cervical
vertebrae, causing the first vertebrae
to be thrown forward, pressing
against and probably resulting in a
lesion In those nerve centers Of the
medulla oblongata, which govern the
respiratory muscles. This caused the
-
altogether and the artificial means Of
respiration resorted to was all that
kept the injured cadet alive until
Sunday morning. No autopsy was
held aside from the X-ray examina-
ton.
Col. Hugh L. Scott and the football
coaches held conference Sunday, at
which il was decided to cease play
ing football for the remainder of the
season.
This means that the Army-Navy
game will not be played next month.
Byrne's mother and father bore the
shock of the fatality with fortitude.
The father witnessed the accident on
the field and he jumped out of the
stand and ran on the gridiron when
he saw that his son was badly hurt.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted with full military honors.
Byrne was a great favorite at West
Point. There was nothing unreal
about the tears that flowed from many
eyes when his death was announced.
Football claimed two victims in ad-
dition to Byrne, Saturday, and another
player Is on the verge of death.
Roy Spybuck, 10 years old, player
on the second eleven at Haskell uni
versity and an Indian, dove headlong
into a scrimmage. He slipped and
landed on his head. His skull was
fractured and he never regained con-
sciousness.
Michael Burke, 21 years old, mem
ber of the junior class OF the Medico-
Chirurgical college, crashed into a
player while tackling, broke his neck
and died on the field.
The condition of Midshipman Will
son, who was also injured in a scrlm-
mage in game while playing for
Annapolis, Is considered grave. The
player is completely paralyzed from
his neck down. His injury will ulti-
mately result in death, the physicians
say.
