BAKER AFTER ROCKEFELLER
Wants Oil King to Speak at Meeting
in St. Paul.

Baltimore Aug 31.-Bernard y.
Baker, president of the National Con.
servation congress, which is to be
held in st. Paul next week, is now
busily engaged trying to locate an
ableminded capitalist who will be will
ing to address that gathering on the
Relation of Capital to the Conserva-
ton of Natural Resources
Nearly everybody but the capitalists
is represented among the speakers on
that occasion. says Mr.. Baker, and
that is unfortunate, for capital must
be behind conservation, il it is to be
entirely successful.
The only trouble is that the capital
lists are not given TO speechmaking.
The J. F. Pierpont kind of financiers
make no speeches, or if they do they
limit the number Of hearers to init
mate friends, and no word of their
utterances gets to a thirsty public.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Baker that
John d. Rockefeller is fond OF talk
ing. and Mr. Baker declared that he
would be more than glad to have that
gentleman on the programme. There
arc others whose names are promi-
nent, and who could no doubt tell
scme interesting things about capital
as it is related to conservation, but
up to the present time Mr.. Baker has
not been able to land one of them.
Mr.. Baker is quite positive that Mr.
Rockefeller will not accept, although
he will try TO get him.

compassed the defeat of former Presi-

Cause Alarm Among Settlers in
Northern Part Of State.

Bemidji, Mimi, Aug. 31.-llish
winds are causing we'll grounded fear
OF fires that have been smoldering in
the forests Of this district, and there
may be danger of con6agration.
At Funkley and Houpt, northwest
of here, the forty -mile-an-hOur gale
of the past twelve hours has famed
smoking logs into pillars of flame,
which have spread until the residents
of those two places are alarmed over
the safety of their houses. At both
places the fires became SO hot and SO
close to the village that boxcars were
taken from the siding. The wires are
down, but overland reports are that
neither village will be consumed.
Fire broke out in the sorting shed
of the big Bemidji mill on the oppo-
site shore of the lake here, but the
wind blew the flames away from the
other buildings and lumber. The Be-
midi fire engine made the run OF four
miles to the mill and by midnight the
fire was well checked. The loss will
be several thousand dollars.
Little Fork, Mimi, Aug. 31.-Forest
fires have again started and indica-
tics are that more damage will be
| done in this vicinity. Already millions
of feet of timber have been burned by
the fire demon in this vicinity since
the spring. The rains few weeks
ago. however, stopped the spread.
Word arrived in the village that fire
| had been started in the woods near
here on the land owned by County
Sheriff Forrer. w. l.. Keiver went out
to investigate and found a fire which
was spreading rapidly and destroying
much timber. He called together
number of men and they have been
| fighting the flames ever since. Since
then several other fires have been
reported in different directions from
here.
Seattle, Aug. 31.-Reports to the
Washington Forest Fire association in
! dictate a generally improved condition.
The only alarming fire is that in the
Snoqualmie forest, in King county,
where a fifteen-mile front of fame
spreads out fanlike from Echo lake to
a point near North Bend, eDcircling
the town of Preston. Four hundred
men are fighting the fire, but it viii
not be extinguished until a soaking
rain comes.
The fires in Southern Washington
are all under control. In the Noun
taineer national forest a township OF
the finest timbers near Lester was de

With the news of the safety of Rang

CORONER TO INQUIRE
INTO THE TRAGEDY
VIII Investigate Staying Of St
Paul Man.

st. Paul, Aug. 31.-An investigation
of the circumstances leading to the
pistol duel in the general Offices OF
the Great Northern Railway company
in st. Paul. when Alton G. Ray, chief
of the special agents of the road, shot
and killed Charles P. WEIGH, dis
charged employe, will be conducted
by Coroner Jones of Ramsey county.
WEIGH attacked Ray. firing several
shots at him, and Ray, it is asserted,
shot in self defense. In all eleven
shots were exchanged, and two bullet
holes in the wall of the room about
two feet above Mr.. Rays head and in
exact line with his body as he sat in
the chair testify to the deadly intent
of Welch's aim, although, because OF
the nervous strain under which he was
laboring, all the shots from his pistol
went wild.
No charge of any kind has been
filed against Ray, and, according to
| County Attorney O'Brien, none will be
made unless the coroner's jury returns
a verdict amounting to a demand for
the filing of a complaint or some citi-
| zen sees fit to do so.
81 feel ! have complete defense
| to any charge which might be
brought" said Mr.. Ray, 'If ever man
killed in self defense, did. ! am very
sorry it happened, but if the situation
were to be duplicated tomorrow | can
| not see how | could do differently"
Chief O'Connor and detectives and
special agents believe WEIGH was de-
mented by worry over his lost posi-
ton as travelling Waterman and Rays
/ refusal either to re-employ or give
him a Recommendation.

CLAIMS HIGHER
Rates ARE JUST
President Ripley Of the Santa
fe Testlties.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Presdent e. p.
Ripley Of the Santa Fe system of rail-
roads, on the witness stand before
Special Examiner G. M. Brown of the
interstate commerce commission, in
support of the contention of the rail-
roads that higher rates are just and
right. declared that wages paid by the
roads have Increased largely, making
operating expenses a. greater burden.
He also declared that the outlook for
next year is not good, and that gen.
eral conditions are SO considered in
the judgment of merchants and those
familiar with the trend of events. Fur
Their in his testimony Mr.. Ripley said
that he thought it not improbable that
next year the, earnings of the roads
may shrink. so that they would not
more than pay the dividends.
President Ripley occupied the stand
until 2:30 in the afternoon, and was
followed by w. E. Bailey, general au
ditor of the system, and James Pea
body, Santa Fe statistician, who were
questioned closely regarding items OF
expense and earnings contained in diff
ferent exhibits presented by the rail
road.
The pessimistic view of the presi
dent of the road came in the direct
examination by Attorney Frank Lyon
counsel for the interstate commerce
commission, and followed questions
concerning what proportion of each
dollar earned by the road was re
turned to the public in the shape Of
wages for labor and in operating ex
penSeS.
Had Paid Its Dividends.
Reverting to the subject later in the
hearing under cross-examinatiOn b,
Attorney Clifford Thorne, representing
live stock shippers in Iowa, MIR. Rip
ley admitted that for ten years the
Santa Fe had paid its dividends.
Special Examiner Brown shut of
questions touching the bond issue fol
the Kansas City depot, saying 'Th'
question of the Kansas City depot ha;
nothing to do with this general prop
osition.'
In the course of the hearing the rail
! road introduced tabulatiOn of the In
terest OH the stock after payment o
the bond interest for the years 1S9
to 1910.
In cross-examination Attorney JOIN
Ii. Atwood of Kansas City. represent
ing a group of shippers, took up thu
discussion of some of the exhibits OF
fered by the railroad and called atten
ton to an item of 100000 appropriat
ed for fuel reservoir 1910. Mr.. AT
wood compared the amount with mucl
smaller figures for similar charge il
other years.
Mr.. AtwOOd-Let me ask you If thi
triple disposition of funds, more tha
three times that of the good year 1905
to this fuel reserve. was done becaus
there WAC in the mind of the manage
ment the idea that it would help t
make this lean showing that is to b
employed as an argument before tn
commission now?
Mr. Ripley do not think it ha
, any influence 1t certainly did nc
with me.
The examination of President Ri
ley was interrupted by the midda
recess.
W. E. Bailey, general auditor of tn
system. was the next witness and {
once plunged into an array OF figure
showing the increase in wages paid b
the system now over what was
!. spent in former years.
