THE NEXT BIG STEAL.

The next session of congress will
probably witness a vigorous contest
over the control of unoccupied water
power sites Powerful interests are
seeking to delay legislation provid.
ing for the limitation of grants is
sued for such sites and for the pay
ment of consistent revenues for
their use. These interests include the
big railroads, which will be operated
by electricity in due time; Standard
Oil the smelling trust, the General
electric company and other power
full agencies, which hope to secure
gratuitous control in perpetuity of
the most desirable power sites.
The interests will be opposed, of
course, by the friends of national
conservation and the supporters of
the square deal generally. President
Roosevelt called the attention of the
country to the great necessity of
protecting this national possession.
Since the close of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration the leading champion
of this policy has been Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot chief forester. In the
course of his western tour President
Taft has expressed himself strongly
and favorably on the subject. If his
pledges are carried out he will urge
the legislation that the people need
to protect themselves. In the secur-
ing OF such legislation he will en-
counter, of course, the very same
interests, and substantially the same
organization in congress. that made
his tariff pledges ineffective.
No man can estimate the import

are gathered, hogs can be turned in

enough to fatten on what otherwise
would be wasted. Then they should

NEW YORK JOKE
 ON THE CORONER
An Idle Report That A. c. Vanderbilt
 Was Shot.

New York. Aug 25.-New York was startled soon after midnight today by a report that originated from an un- known resource and was communi- cated to the coroner that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was shot at the Grand Union hotel. Forty second street and Park avenue. 4 clerk at the hotel said the first intimation he had of the shooting came through an inquiry from newspaper. This was followed by inquiries by nearly every newspaper
 Later there came a laconic tele- phone message from Vanderbilt, or one who said he was Vanderbilt, who called up the coroner and casually re- marked. T understand I have been shot," and was told that such a report was in circulation. Vanderbilt treated the whole matter as a joke.
 Vanderbilt was later found safe and sound asleep at the Hotel Plaza and the whole affair resolves itself into a joke" It was also ascertained that Vanderbilt is not a member of the New York club and consequently had not caIIed-up from there assuring the coro- ner that he was all right. This phase of the case is believed to have been only another part of the alleged joke.

.0'BR|EH's CUSTOMERS
 WEARY Of WAITING
THE BROKER PUT IN JAIL YES
 TERDAY.
Brought Up From Tucson on War
 rant Charging EmbezzIement.

Frank J. O'Brien, late broker of | Tucson, Phoenix and Bisbee, became an occupant yesterday afternoon of the woman's cell at the county jail. He was brought in about 4 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Adams. who had effected his arrest at Tucson yester- day morning on a warrant sworn out by Dr. w. G. Lentz. charging hin with the embeZZlement of $250.
 The broker expressed no surprise when the warrant was served, prob ably because he had been so long threatened with it. He told the off cer that he wished the criminal pro- ceeding had been begun a month earlier. He said he would make no effort to furnish bond, but he tele- graphed for his attorney, Judge s. w. Purcell, who is now on the coast, to come to Phoenix at once. O'Brien will probably be taken today before Judge Parker, who issued the warrant.
 The arrest was the sequel of the failure of the creditors, or rather the customers of the brokerage house of O'Brien's, to effect a settlement of their affairs or to secure from O'Brien or his receiver. Myers. any satisfaction as to when a settlement could be made.
 Three weeks ago Dr. Lentz and Leon Jacobs. also a loser by the fail ure of the brokerage firm, went to Tucson, intending to begin criminal proceedings unless their money was forthcoming. They were informed that all creditors would probably be paid by the following Thursday. Nothing was done at that time and Dr. LentZ made another trip to Tucson. the re- suit of which was no more satisfac tory than that of the former one It was proposed then to begin criminal action, but the matter was allowed to rest until the return of District Attorney Bullard. who on Tuesday night directed the issuance of the warrant. There was still q hope that a settlement might be reached before the service of the war rant.
 The creditors here were informed by the receiver that though the as sets of O'Brien were far in excess of his liabilities. many of them were of such a character that time would be required to convert them into cash.
 He proposed to pay the customers in installments, the first at a date not far in the future and the rest in an nual installments covering q period of four years. Dr. LentZ decided that rather than to wait so long for the money he would satisfyN his curiosity regarding the real relations between a broker and his patrons.
 Though the complaint on which the warrant was issued charged the em- bezzlement of only $25O. it is under stood that his losses by the failure are considerably in excess of 5000 The losses of other patrons of the local office range from $25O to nearly 5000.
 All these losses represent actual cash given to the firm for the pur- chase of stock, and it is said that if the stock had been actually pur- chased and the deals put through as the patrons had expected them to be their just returns would have been a great deal more than the amounts invested. It is charged that the in vestments were never actually made, but that O'Brien used the money for purposes of his own and lost it.

 St Paul has practically adopted a far-reaching city plan. The city plans important park and parkway eXten- sions and many other improvements. Last years trip resulted in so many valuable aids to the preparation of plans that the trip this year will be made far more extensive, and particu- lar study will be given to these ques- lions in which St Paul is interested.
 Accompanying the patty is the manager of St. Paurs publicity organ ization. which is a city department devoted to advertising. This depart ment has prepared and will exhibit in Montreal an extensive exhibit of St Paul scenes, showing what the city has recently done along the lines of municipal improvement. and par ticularly in the identification of its sixteen miles of river bluffs and front age and in the improvements of parks and boulevards.

Portland. Ore, Aug. 22-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- w H. Taft is serving two years in the Oregon penitentiary for forgery. w. H. is a trusted prisoner and it pays him to be. Since he can be trusted, he is a waiter at the guards table and wears citizens clothes instead Of work ing in the stove foundry all day and wearing the regulation cadet gray. Though not wise enough to keep out of prison, the convict with the illustri- ous name knows that good behavior counts in a penitentiary. He weighs close to 200 pounds, but does not re- semble his namesake. He was com mitted last fall and the campaign evil dentlt gave him an inspiration. He took the name, probably thinking it a winner. The name has not helped him any except that he is pointed out regularly to curious visitors.

Denver, Aug. 25.-The contention of the department of agriculture that benzoate of soda. used as a preserva tive in thousands of food products. is not harmful to the public health, will be defended here tomorrow by an ar ray of chemical experts. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was joined to- day by members of the Remsen board appointed by President Roosevelt to decide disputed points of the federal pure food laws. On the other hand the opposing faction in the association of state dairy food departments now in session believe the experiments of the Remsen board were not conclu- sive.
