SPOKANE, Sept. 2s.-
Former President Theodore
Roosevelt and Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot came in for
goodly share of the applause
today, when President Taft
made his speech on conserva-

of each was mentioned the
crowd went wild. Just as
Taft began his speech rain
started to fall. and soon the
president was addressing a
sea of umbrellas.

Ii. B. Mccoy, Examiner
of Surveys, Admits
$4,000 Theft and
Then Goes to
Prison

Short shrift was made OF M.
b. Mccoy of Seattle, United
States examiner of government
surveys, in the federal court this
morning, and this afternoon he is
on his way to McNeils island to
serve a three years term for
grating. He confessed to having
obtained more than $4,000 by
means of fraud.
Mccoy was indicted a few days
ago by the grand jury, in session
here. Confronted with the
charges, he confessed, and he
came to Tacoma today to plead
guilty,
The official charge was en-
bezzlement, but he has been
guilty of conspiracy to defraud
the government, forgery and the
other phases of crooked work that
enter into the peculations of a
trusted official.
Resided in Seattle.
Mccoy lived on North Four
teenth street, Seattle, with his
wife 7-year-old boy. He op-
Grated in Washington, Montana
and Oregon. his territory prac-
ltically embracing the entire
Northwest. His duties were to
check up the surveys of the gov
lernment contractors. He was his
own disbursing officer and au-
thorized to employ such teams
and men as were necessary in his
work. He received Sc a day sal
ary and SO day extra while
actually working.
| But thins was not enough. He
confesses that he proceeded by a
enrefully concocted system to rob
1.-THE government. Instead of ac-
itually going out and checking
TIC surveys, he sat in his office
aid made up his reports from
tie survey records of the sur
veyors themselves. Then he
fixed up fictitious payrolls, and
thus drew money for expense that
was never incurred. In this man
ner Mccoy grated about $1S,-
1000.
His operations in Montana were
his undoing. The people wanted
the district checked up. They ap-
piled to w. G. Good, special land
agent, who has been on the trail
of federal lawbreakers in this
section and was connected with
the land fraud prosecutions in
Oregon. Good began to make an
Investigation, and he found the
record showed the district had
been reported checked.
! He knew Mccoy had never
been on the ground at all. His
suspicions were aroused, and an
Investigation showed one of the
most glaring records of fraud
ever practiced on the govern
Iment.
| Saw Jig Was Up.
/ Mccoy was faced with the evi-
Idence, and he saw the Jig was up.

Mccoy was faced with the evi-
dence, and he saw the Jig was up.
He agreed to plead guilty. He
came over from Seattle this
morning, accompanied by Judge
Moore.
After Judge Moore had made a
plea for mercy on McCoy's wife
and child, Judge Donworth gave
him three years at hard labor al
McNeils island penitentiary.
Part Of his peculations will be
recovered on his bond, and he
will probably be sued in civil ac.
tion for the balance. He used the
money in wildcat speculations.

A FAT WOMAN
HATES SOCIETY

Fat people have to get into clothes that are
designed for people of normal physique. The
men wear dress suits and look like comic pic
lures. The women wear low necked dresses to
their evident humiliation. This is why 1t is often
said that fat woman hates society Fat Is
as much the mistake of poor health as anything
else The things that make fat should lie max
Ing good blood, bone and nerves. The secret ID
that the digestive machinery is out Of gear.
The juices make fat in too large quantities.
This fat impedcs circulation, cramps the heart,
suppresses the liver. crowds the lungs and in
terferes with the stomach. Marmola Tablets
are harmless. They are taken after each meal.
They help digest that meal nature intended
1t should be digested. They remove the fat 81
ready made at the rate of from IL TO ID ounces
a day. and they leave faDhy skin or wrinkles.
They are sold wherever drugs are sod, or in
the same category with harmful patent fat re-
ducers They contain Marmola. Cascara Aro-
matte and Peppermint water. IL you do not
care call upon your druggist send 75c to The
Marmola Company. Dept. 2s3, Detroit. Mich.
and they viii send you a latee, full-size case
by return mail in plain package. postage paid.

RUNNING BIRD VS.. INSECTS.
Not Believed That Former Would
Clear st. Helena of Pests

From the London Standard.
The idea of 4. NJ. English of Hawley.
hartford, that the Introduction Of hum
ming birds into St. Helena would be bene-
fetal in the suppression of insect pests,
is not shared by all English naturalists.
Humming birds. it is pointed out, feed
on the nectar of flowers and the dead
insects contained therein. Moreover, there
is the danger that If hunlm!ng bircs are
introduced. into new localities they them
selves may become pests in their turn.
Several instances where this has occurred
are to be found in America.
More good is thought likely to accrue
from the Introduction of parasitic and
predacious insects. Ladybird beetles and
their larvae are we'll known to devour
aphides and scale insects. The introduce
ton of the Australian ladybird into Amer
lea to kill the orange cushion scale has
produced wonderful results, and other
ladybirds are being introduced to keep
down the San Jose scale. Besides lady
birds there are other beneficial insects
small creatures related to the ants, bees
and wasps. which are parasites on scale
insects and caterpiliars.
Fruit flies are considerable pest in
st. Helena. and though enemies are
known. yet recent researches in South

Keep your appointments. Remember
time is money. Don't waste your own CT
that of others. When you have your
business done go about your business,
and do not waste the time of business
man, for his time means money to him,
and your time should mean something to
you.
Punctuality is the soul of business.
There are moments on which hangs the
destiny of years. PromptnesS is the
mother of confidence.
Wear old clothes If you must. but own
a reliable watch. The employe who is al
ways on time and there when he is
wanted Is sure to be appreciated and
advanced before those who are careless
of their OWE time and regardless of that

Much may depend on your promptness
and punctuality. Many wasted life

BE ON TIME.
Rev. DIR. Madison G. Peters.

~IME is the warp of life; It's for
all, especially the young, to
weave it we'll into q bright and
beautiful garment that shall
cover them as with a shining
robe during the days of earthly travail
and in which they can pass across the
bridge that leads from the darkness Of
the temporal to the light Of the eternal.
Don't let the strand of the warp drop;
be prompt with the shuttle. Promptness
takes away the monotony and the drudg-
cry, smooths out the creases and makes
every surface soft and velvety.
Delays tougher, harden and throw the
whole thing into confusion. If a planet
delayed a moment in its course 1t would
throw the whole universe into chaos.
Work can become one grand. sweet har-
mony, symphony Of pleasure. not of
pain, If approached in the right way and
the golden rule observed, of a time and
place for everything and everything in it's
proper time and place.
Sir Walter Raleigh was asked: How
do you accomplish so much in SO short a
timer when I have anything to do, l
60 and do it," he replied.
The man who acts promptly may make
mistakes, but he will succeed where a
procrastinator with better judgment will
fail.
