against the left wing of the. Massachu-.
sets army, commanded by Brig.-Gen.

Denver, Aug. 19.-Despite the Efforts
Of leaders in the transmississippl COM
mercial congress to prevent the intro

truversy, former United States Senator
Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado pre-
pared an attack on Clifford Pinchot this
morning, which WIS curtailed in part
by the action OF the congress in de-
Ginning to give additional time to Mr.
Patterson who wished to present Il
resolution in fuller form than allowed
by the rules OF the congress.
Senator Patterson's resolution cited
that a board OF inquiry composed Ut
MI. Pinchot and four other scientists
some time ago reported that the bound

definite and many places include graz

clared therefore that additional laws
are not necessary but that the presi-
dent now has the authority TO declare
these boundaries in more definite
way, thereby dividing the forests front
theSarable lands and saving to the peo-
pie many, thousand acres of land noIy

of the people Of Colorado, who believe
that they are being deprived of lands
to which they are entitled under the
homestead act.
Mr.. Patterson asked that he be given
90 minutes In which to present his resv-
luton but the delegates declined to take
this view and his remarks We're cur
tailed to three minutes and no action
was taken. No answer was made to the
argument of the former senator
