Director of Reclamation Service Says
Nothing of New York Visit. 4.

Washington. July director Freder-
lex H. Newell of the reclamation service,
whose differences with Secretary OF the
Interior Ballinger have created general
comment, returned to Washington today
from New York, where it was understood
he had talked yesterday with former
President Roosevelt.
The unusual reticence Of the director
concerning his New York visit lends col
or to the report that one of the objects
of his trip was to consult with Col.
Roosevelt concerning the friction with
the secretary of the interior over the ad-
ministration of the reclamation service.
He refused to admit that he had con-
ference with the former President nor
would he deny it.
Mr.. Newell said he had conferred in
Baltimore and New York with B. N Ba-
ker, president of the Second National
Conservation Congress, which will be
held at st. Paul Sept to 9. The purpose
of their meeting had been to discuss
plans for the congress. The program. he
said, would be submitted to both Pres
ident Taft and former President Roose-
welt for their approval. The congress, he
added, would be as simple. elementary
and direct as possible. The speeches
would emphasize the fact that the con-
servation policy was not for the purpose
of holding back anything from the pres
ent generation but was designed for the
utilization of the resources today without
destroying their future usefulness.

SO, 600 Walk Out
In Clothing Strike.

New York, July Fifty thousand
garment and cloak makers, of whom
5000 are women, walked out this al
ternoon at the call of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union,
which demands an S-hour day, an in
crease in wages and guarantee that
contractors shall stand behind sub
contractors for wage payments.
The fight thus far. is purely local
that if the employers attempted to
sub-let their work in other cities, not
ably Chicago, Philadelphia and Cleve-
land the union would call a strike
there also. The 100 factories here en-
ploy 100000 hands of which approXi-
mately half are organized. The
strikers hope to draw many of the nom
union workers out by sympathetic
appeal.

$40, 600 and 100000" said vice-president
Polakoff of the union tonight and
the members in other cities will help
us. We have received a great many
offers of settlement already and these
will be considered by the settlement
committee tomorrow"
On the other hand, the executive
committee of the Cloak. Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association, which has
1000 members in this and other cities,
said it was certain that no member of
the association would meet the de-
mands of the union.

NEW FOR FAR EAST,
Fate of a Skeletonized Cable Dispatch
by Oriental Editors.

The telegraph editor who tolls in
the Orient must needs be good at UNI
raveling mysteries. The messages
sent by cable in skeletonizes1 form Of
ten reach the newspaper offices of the
Ear West in fearful and wonderful
condition, for there are many native
operators. Here is an example of
history in the making of the Orient.
There came to Shanghai a telegram
which read

the name of a town at the begin
ming of a telegram usually indicates
the source of information. The
message contained two distinct items
OF news, to be read as follows:
Ii Is announced from Sto ckholm
that the crown princess of Sweden
has given birth to a daughter.
The Villagers of Oekerito in Hun
gary were holding a dance in a coach
mousse that had been fitted up as a
ballroom when a fire broke out The
dancers rushed to the exit, many with
their clothes burning. Some fell and
were trodden underfoot The blazing
roof collapsed, burying scores. In ALL
zoo persons persisted. -.-.
one Far Eastern telegraph editor
did not see the message that way. THE
journal said:
1t is telegraphed from Stockholm
That while the Crown Princess OF
sweden princess Margaret of Con-
naughty and her daughter were
watching the villagers Of OekoeritO In
hungary dancing in a coach house
winch had been fitted up as ballroom
nre broke out. The dancers rushed
TO the exit, and many with their
clothes burning were trodden down
IN the panic. while the blazing ROOF
collapsed, burying scores. Two hun
ored and fifty persons persisted.
The thing was worse when it reach
ed Manila. From a newspaper pub

That depends on the immediate
