MAY NOT SPEAK AT ST. PAUL.
Trip Causes President TO Withhold
His Promise.

Beverly, July 1.-THE National Con-
servation Congress. which meets at st.
Paul in September, probably will have
to fnrego an address by President Taft.
3. n. Baker Of Baltimore. president OF
the congress. and John D. White, OF
Kansas City. its secretary, spent long
time this afternoon trying 60 persuade
the President to come out TO ST. Paul %
address the conservationists.
They had written an invitation to the
President weeks ago. but supplemented
It with oral arguments to-day. Since
the written invitation came many runors
of factional fights among the conserva-
tiouiists over the possibility OF a Presi-
Dental visit have come out of the West
Il was reported that Clifford Pinchot and
James r. Garfield in particular, and
probably other radical members Of the
conservation organization, might seek 10
make It uncomfortable for Mr.. Taft If
he ventured 10 accept.
Although the executive Offices de-
clared that this didn't worry the Presi-
dent a great deal, II was said also that
he isn't likely 10 go. He has no speak
ms. engagements in the West in Septem-
Der. and. according TO the information,
| doesn't wish TO travel so far to make
one speech. However. it was admitted
that even this may change the tentative
| decision.

London, July Ie.-Tbe detectives of
Scotland Yard resent the criticism In
some American newspapers that they
have carelessly allowed a murderer 10
escape. They do not explain why they
did not shadow Crippen after they had
extracted . pledge from him last Friday
that he would not leave the eountrT.
Critics assert that they should have
shadowed him because Of his connicting
stories in regard 10 his wife's disappear
ance. 1t IS said that if this had occurred
in New York Crippen would have been
promptly arrested on suspicion, but the
English law forbids arrests on sua?icion
There is no doubt the Scotland Yard
men are chagrined. They are pinnilg
their hopes of discovering him now upon
an appeal to the lie Neye woman. They
have inserted advertisements in vacious
newspapers, in which they disguisedy
promise her immunity If she will come
forward and disclose her whereabouts.
While all ports are being watched for
the doctor and the woman the police be-
lieve the couple are concealed somewhere
in London, and accordingly the hunt is
proceeding here.
Crippen Is said to have been concerned
in several transactions in the city of a
somewhat shady kind. In his early days
in London he amassed a fortune and lived
in expensive style. The value OF the
jewels iu the possession Of bis wife up TO
the time of her disappearance. which was
placed at $4,000 was a mere shadow OF
the former substance. Recently. however.
Crippen has been in somewhat reduced
circumstances. and there have been oc-
casions when he would have been glad to
earn half sovereign week at odd jobs
Chief Inspector Froest, of Scotland
Yard. said this evening;
my hopes are in the girl. ALI our in
quiries tend to show that she was IS
norant of the murder She has a relative
with whom she communieates. Once she
sees the newspapers and reads the story
she is likely TO write to one Of these rel
atives. She must be now somewhere

STRIKE CONFERENCE
SET FOR MONDAY
Trainmen and Pennsylvania
Officials to Meet.
LEE REPLIES TO MR. MoREA
Denies Men Are After Higher Pay
for Each Hour Regardless of the
Length Of Time They work, and
Says the Road Heads Statistics
Are Generally Misleading.

Philadelphia. July 1s-At the request OF
trainmen on the Pennsylvania lines east
of Pittsburg negotiations between the
men who have voted to strike and the
railroad company were reopened to-day
ana conference was arranged for Mon
day morning No further action viii be
taken by the employees until the outcome
of the conference is ascertained.
In replying TO the statement Of Presi-
dent McCrea, made public to-day. W G.
Lee, president Of the brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen. denied that the men are
seeking higher pay for each hour regard
less of the length OF time they work. He
said the contention of the men is for the
same working conditions on the Pennsyl-
vania as obtained on all other important
lines east of the Mississippi. He said that
the substitution of the pay by mileage
basis would not result In higher pay for
all employees, and that the statistics cited
by President McCrea were misleading in
many respects.
Some Wages Not Higher.
'It IS not true that the men as a whole
on the Pennsylvania get higher wages
than on other lines. he declared. There
are some men on the Pennsylvania who
are paid higher rates Of wages, but the
men lower down on the Pennsylvania do
not get as much for instance, as men in
corresponding positions on the Philadel-
phia and Reading The Reading has
adopted the working conditions OF the
Eastern federation. and In doing so did
not reduce the wages of such of It's en-
ployes as were already getting wages
above the scale provided for by the
| Eastern federation award.
What we want is the application of
the working conditions adopted by the
| Eastern Federation Of Union Railroad
Employees This provides a minimum
ten-hour day on the mileage basis. We
| refuse 10 consent to this basis applying
to such Pennsylvania men as are already
getting higher wages than this scale
would give them. for no arbitration or
readjustment could result in reducing the
wages of employees affected.
Has No Minimum Day.
Now the Pennsylvania Railroad, pay
ing on the trip basis in many cases at a
higher rate than any other road, has no
minimum day provision. Thus an en-
ploye who works six hours out of the
Pennsylvania standard eleven-hopr day
gets but six-elevenths of days wages.
He may get a high rate of wages per
hour, but the total amount of his pay for
that day is lower than the man who
works on ten-hour minimum day
| basis.
in this way the comparative scale OF
wages cited by President MeCrea in his
statement to the public is misleading.
| The Pennsylvania Railroad has its own
| peculiar and private system of dealing
! with its employees. and this is what We
are fighting against. This and no higher
pay for ell the men Is the principle on
which We are making this fight

CALIFORNIA LAND
MEN CALL ON TAFT
Protection of Imperial VAL
ley Is Discussed.

Beverly, July 16.-The best way in which
to save the imperial valley of California
and Mexico came up for discussion at the
summer capital to-day. President Taft
talked the situation over with William
H. Holabird. receiver of the California
Development Company. which is inter-
ested in that region. and Capt Alan
Kelly. of Los Angeles, another Cali
fornian, who is anxious to see something
done. Congress at the last session ap-
propriated sl,900,000, to be used in pro-
tecting the imperial valley from inunda-
ton by the Colorado River. Several years
ago the Southern Pacific Railway, and
the government. too. had some exciting
experiences with that river in the same
region when il Overflowed and formed
the Salton Sea. A recurrence of such an
outbreak is feared. and action is de-
manded before next spring.
The President directed that the matter
be taken upsat once with the Interior
Department, and the Executive Office will
itself negotiate through the State De-
partment with the Mexican government,
which is also interested.
According to the tentative plans
brought to the President. a twenty-five
mile long wing dam can be constructed at
the point on the Colorado River which
is thought to be most dangerous. 1t
could be built. If necessary in sixty
days. It would hold the Colorado within
bounds and save the valley. which is
thickly populated and prosperous to a
high degree.
Part Of the discussion was devoted TO
consideration of how this government
could be reimbursed for its expenditure.
The President favored the appointment
OF arbitrators who should assess the ben
efits derived through the building of this
dam. IN addition to the settlers con-
cerned. several corporations are believed
to be interested parties. J. A Ockerson
an engineer OF the Mississippi River Com
mission has been retained by the govern
ment to examine the valley

TAFT TAKES HAND
IN PITTMAN'S CASE
Treatment by Madriz Will

At the request OF President TAFT the
State Department viii carefully scrutnize
the treatment accorded to William P. Pitt
man, the civil engineer of Boston. who
was captured by the Madriz forces. and
who has been starved and otherwise III
treated in a Managua prison.
Secretary Norton called up the officers
of the State Department yesterday over
the long-distance telephone from Beverly
to inform them that Mr.. Taft had been
requested BY relatives OF Pittman to take
steps 10 insure his safety 1t is not ex.
pected that the United states viii sub
nit much longer 10 the actions Of Madriz.
Drastic Action Possible.
State Department officials would not be
surprised TO see something happen any
day in Nicaragua which would compel
drastic action BY this government II
may be said with authority that II any
thing happens to Pittman not within the
bounds of international law as this gov-
ernment sees it Intervention in Nicaragua
would be instant and decisive.
State Department officials are aroused
more and more as each new case of
despotism, tyranny. and insult is reported
by the consuls in Nicaragua The pres
ent situation there is no better than II
was under Zelaya, it is said at the de-
partment, and it is confidently expected
that before long Madriz will commit. or
cause to be committed. some act OF folly
or heedlessness. contrary to the State
Departments warning that American life
and property shall be protected, which
will bring down upon the Madriz faction
swift retribution in the interest of law
and order which, it has been held, the
United States has the right to maintain.
On the strength of reports appearing
in the newspapers, the State Department
has telegraphed to Thomas P Moffst, the
American consul az Bluefelds, directing
him to ascertain whether Dr.. Lawrence

prisoner By the Madriz forces and CON-
