Prof Muensterberg knows more
about why most of us do things than
we do ourselves and we have to thank
him for some interesting surprises we
have enjoyed when he has explained
motives to us; so when he says that
from a psychological viewpoint wo-
men become shoplifters because they
have a duller moral perception than
men and are less likely to restrain
the so called Initiative impulse" we
must believe it without question-at
least. from the psychological view
point.

1t is gratifying to learn from the
forestry authorities at Washington
that cutting Christmas trees is not a
menace to the timber lands. 1t is ex-
planned that though 10000 900 of these
trees are used every year in the
United States they represent a growth
that is not material to the we'll being
of the forests. In fact, it is said the
thinning out thus assured may be
beneficial to the remaining timber. So
a beautiful custom may continue to be
INDUCED in without any conscientious
sCruples.

Throwing Contest
BEATS WORLD SPEED RECORD
[Assoclated Pressl

BOSTON, Sept. 15.-Driving his
Bleriot monoplane approximately at a
mile a minute, claude Grahame-White,
the English aviator. brought to a sue
cessful close his first American en-
gagement by defeating Glenn H. Cur
tiss, the American aviator and worlds

match speed test at the Harvard avla-
tion field at Atlantic.
He defeated Curtiss by sixteen and
three-fifths seconds, in a five and a

MAN CHARGED WITH SUB
TREASURY THEFT BAILED
Asserts Innocence; Has Suspicion
of Guilty Party

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Efforts to OBJ
tain a reduction in the bail of George
w. Fitzgerald, who was arrested here
yesterday charged with having stolen
S173,000 from the subtreasury three
years ago, were made in the United
States district court today before Judge
Lands. Judge Lands fixed the bail
at $4,000. This Fitzgerald was un-
able to give, and in consequence he
spent the night in cell.
The prisoner, Who stoutly denies the
charge against him, was brought from
the county jail into court to listen to
arguments. Judge Lands declined to
reduce the bail.
Bonds of $4,000 were provided by
William Joyce and James Ralph. Fitz-
gerald told reporters that while he did
not take the money, he had sus-
picion as to the guilty party.
II am willing to give the name to
Judge Landis," said he. AS to his in
vestments. he saidE II borrowed money
to start with and I've made all have
by legitimate business methods. I
cleared $500 on real estate deal in
two weeks. for instance. In 1908 I
bought eggs at Is 3-8 cents and sold
them for 10 and 1917 cents a dozen.
That netted me S3200."
He denied that he owned stock in the
Illinois Bolt and Forging company un-
der an assumed name. He said he
possessed $1700 worth of stock in his
own name. He said he resigned some
time ago as secretary of the Illinois
Car Manufacturing company

BACKER Of POLAR DASH
SEEKS COOKS RECORDS
Bradley on Way to Etah-RepoTt
Says Missing Explorer
Accompanies Him

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 15,-The Dan
ish steamer Hans Egede arrived here
today with the news that John H. Brad
ley, the financial backer of DR.. Fred
erick A. Cooks North Pole expedition.
was on his way to Etah to procure
the much talked of records and in
struments which Cook said he left at
that Eskimo settlement northeast or
Greenland. The captain of the Hans
Egede believes Cook is with Bradley.
The Hans Egede, which is the Ves-
sci on which the explorer Travelled TO
civilization, fell in with a yacht at
Godhaven, a Danish settlement on the
south coast of Disco island, Greenland,
and in the course of exchanges between
the masters learned that Bradley was
aboard the other craft.
The Polar hunt promoter admitted
his identity and explained that he was
bound for Etah to recover whatever
had been left there by DR.. Cook. He
refused, however, either to deny or TO
confirm the report that he was ac-
companied by the explorer. The gov
eminent vessel also brings the infor-
nation that two missionaries who are
working among the Eskimos who ac-
companied Cook on this expedition say
that these Eskimos insist that the
doctor reached the North Pole, as he
claims, prior to its discovery by Com
mander Peary.

SCORES CONGRESS
ON CONSERVATION
Edward Hines Declares That
Politicians Were Actively at
Work During Session
Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-An echo of the
politics at the recent conservation con-
gress at st. Paul was heard here today
in an interview with Edward W. Hines,
and in a statement from B. N. Baker,
who was president of the ST. Paul con-
gress.
Mr.. Hines. assording to his own
statement, was in large measure
made the medium of an attack which
had, he said, for its purpose the defeat
of ]. B. White of Kansas City for
president of the congress.
Mr.. Hines and Mr.. White both are
lumbermen. The delegates in general,
when they learned that Clifford Pinchot,
who is president of the National Con-
servation association, refused to. allow
the use Of his name in connection with
the presidency Of the congress, took 1t
for granted that Mr. White, the chair
man Of the executive committee, would
be elected to the place about to be va
Gated by President Baker OF Baltimore.
SURPRISE AT DECLNATIoN
Great surprise was felt when Mr..
White declined the office, moved there
to, according to Mr.. Hines, by demands
that certain delegates should be named
on the executive committee. Mr.. White
refused to be bound in advance of his
election, and a surprise was handed to
Henry wallace of Des Moines, Ia,
when the presidency was unanimously
awarded to him.
"The Illinois delegation drew up
protest against my membership on the
credentials committee because l, like ten
other delegates there. was a lumber
man, although they gave a different
reason for their action" said Mr.. Hines.
"They did not want Mr.. White or any
Z, for a
absence Of any legitimate reason for
requesting my withdrawal, the Illinois
delegation dragged in silly gossip con-
Meeting my name unpleasantly with the
election of William Lorimer to the
United States senate. That is matter
that will be discussed when l am
witness before the Lorimer investigat-
ing committee, which will meet hero
September 20.
''Previous to the congress I requested
Mr.. White not to name me on any
committee, nor assign me to any duties
in connection with the congress-"
PRESIDENT BAKERS LETTER
Mr.. Hines exhibited a letter from
President Baker, in which the latter
states that Mr.. Hines appointment on
the credentials committee was unso-
licited. Mr.. Bakers letter states that
he did not for moment consider
request that Mr.. Hines Withdraw. An
other letter signed by the other mem
bers of the committee states that the
committee meetings were at all times
harmonious, and that Mr.. Hines acted
with the committee until it was dis
chraged.
MY friends on the committee, as
we'll as numerous other delegates, In
censed at the protest from the delegates
from Illinois, wished to voice their re-
sentiment and disapprobation on the
convention floor" continued Mr.. Hines,
land it was with considerable effort
that [ dissuaded them"

Head of Princeton University Sc
IeCted State Standard
Bearer by Democrats
CHOSEN ON THE FIRST BALLOT
Candidate Declares Three Great
Questions for Solution
Are Before People
LAssoclated Pressl

TRENTON, N. j. Sept. 15,-The
Democratic state convention today
nominated DR.. woodrow Wilson, presi-
dent of Princeton university, for gov
ernor of New Jersey.
DR.. Wilson was nominated on the
first ballot and received forty more
votes than was necessary.
The platform adopted was In line
with the Democratic platform of three
years ago, except that IL was more
specific in advocacy of reform measures,
including the comforting of rate-mak-
ign power upon the present public utili-
ties commission
DIR. Wilson accepted the nomination
and made an addFess which was highly
pleasing to the delegates.
After discussing the platform, Mr..
Wilson said: There are three great
questions before the people, reorganiza-
tion and economy in administration;
equalization of taxation, and the con-
troll of corporations.
"Other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the cues
tion of corrupt practices in elections
and the question of conservation.
Our system of government should
not be unnecessarily complicated and
elaborate, and there should not be toe
many separate commissions and
boards"
Discussing the question of corpora
tions, he said: Corporations should
not be favored in the matter of taxa
ton. The power to regulate taxation
and fix rates should be vested in pub
lie utilities commission. The regula-
tior- of corporations is much more the
duty of the state than of the federal
government"
In concluding DIR. Wilson said: 1.-THE
playing of politics is to be deprecated.
Measures having for their object the
lettering of our condition should be
conceived in the largest spirit and
urged by leaders who are statesmen
and not demagogues."
