TAFT WILL SUPPORT

President Authorizes Announcement
That Hc Stands for Conservation

Washington, ID. c., April 21.-
Taft's entire sympathy with the for
est reserve and conservation policies
is announced and stories that vast
areas are to be taken away from ma
tional areas are denied in a state
ment regarding the administration
attitude issued today by Clifford Pin
chot. Pinchot's statement says:
ANY statement that Taft is not in
sympathy with the forestry and con-
servatiou movement is without foun-
dation. on the contrary, 1 am au-
thorized by the president to say that
he is in sympathy and stands behind
the conservation policy as announced.
! am also authorized by the president
to deny the categorical story that
large areas are to be thrown out of
national forests by presidential proc
lamation. The only basis for such
rumor lies in the plans announced by
the forest service several months ago
that provide for examination and
mapping of boundaries of national
forests and the character If the
land.

cultural land may be found along the

COST TEN MILLION

Harvard Professor Says II Can iBc

VIII BE Nearer Each Other,

Boston, April 21-If mankind
cares enough about it to put out
about $l0,000,O00 there is no ve"y
good reason why the human race
should not be able to talk with Mars
and that so soon as next July--ac-
cording TO Prof. William Henry Pick
ering, Harvard .university's celebrated
astronomer.
Communication with the Marltans
viii be made possible, Prof. Pickering
declares, by adopting his method Of
flashing messages, when Mars ap-
proaches the earth to within $4,000
600 miles, or about 100000 miles
nearer than ever before.
Prof Pickering's plan contemplates
the use of a series of mirrors pre-
turned toward Mars and occupying
more than quarter of Il mile of sur
face.
"SuppoSing," he says, with such "a
signal in operation We begun a series
OF flashes cutting off the suns rays
for an instant and then throwing ON
the reflection again. repeating this
at irregular intervals, forwarding,
say, the telegraph code of dots and
dashes, have no doubt that prorid-
ing there were intelligent people on
Mars, the light would at once attract
attention and would lead eventually
TO an answering signal. II we received
such an answer it would be a COM
parativcly easy matter To establish a
code and transmit messages"

PATIEh TO LEARN
WHEAT CONDITIONS
Leader of Bull Movement Goes TO
See on What He Has Based His
Speculate ms,

Chicago. Aprit 21--James A. Pat
ten, the bull leader in wheat, left the
city today, possibly to inspect the
wheat outlook. particularly as it bears
on the amount of wheat which may
be delivered to him on July contracts.
Patterns departure was quietly ac-
complished and few knew of it.
He was accompanied by an expert
and it Is believed he will inspect the
wheat crop in Illinois and adjacent
states. Whether Missouri will de-
liver a new wheat crop in July is a
matter OF the greatest importance to
the traders as the bulls have operat-
ed on the theory that this new crop
will not be available for delivery here,
while the bears hold the contrary.
The trip will afford Patten relief from
the strain of the past few days. The
market was featureless today.
