Taft Sends Telegram to Republican
Editors of Illinois.

Washington, March 15.-President
Taft sent to the convention of Repub-
lican editors at Springfield. Ill. today
a telegram in which he expressed the
hope that the editorial association
would stand by the Republican con-
gress and the administration in its
attitude toward the tariff and other
legislation. The telegram addressed
to George Rankin, president of the
Illinois Republican Editorial associa-
ton, was as follows:
Sincerely hope that you will have
a full meeting; that there will be har-
mony and that the Republican editors
of Illinois will stand by the action of
the Republican congress and Republi-
can administration in reference to tar
iff bill and other progressive legisla-
ton. The expression of a meeting like
the one you have called arising from a
normal, sane and patriotic Republican
attitude will have much influence for
good in Illinois and the rest of the
country.

ALASKAN LAND GRABS"
Due to Poor Legislation, Says Bishop
Peter Trimble Rowe.

Chicago, March 15.-"The Alaskan
grabs are due entirely to poor legis-
lation." said the Rt. Rev. Peter Trim
BILE Rowe, Episcopal bishop of Alaska.
yesterday. 1.-The great natural resources
of the northern territory are the right
full property of American citizens. and
1 hope that hereafter the federal gov
ernment will be wise and alert enough
to prevent their falling into the hands
of any corporation"
Bishop Rowe is spending the week
in Chicago as the guest of the Rev.
William o. Waters. rector of Grace
church. This is his first visit to the
Estates in five years.
1.-The sale of land rich in coal and
copper, with even great possibilities
for agriculture. at $40 an acre. was q
barter for mere song" he said.
''I do not say the transfer was fraud
ulent. For all 1 know every step was
legal, but the laws must be wrong
when so great an injustice is pos
sible.
Little is known of the agricultural
possibilities, possibly because conciu-
sons are drawn from coast observa-
tions. There the Japan current makes
the climate equable. but at no time is
it warm enough to insure great crops.
But inland, where. the winters are in
tensely cold. the summers. though
short, are warm, and agriculture has
future. The Tanana valley alones
which now has about $4,000 inhabit-
ants, could easily support 100000"

COME TOGETHER.
Heads of the Opposing Forces in
Garments Strike
Meet in Conference to Discuss
the Situation.
OUTSIDE INFLUENCES
Force the Transit Company to
Make the Concession.
The Outlook for a Settlement Is
Considered Good.

Philadelphia, March 15.-The fact
that representatives OF the PhiladeI-
phia Rapid Transit company and off,
cials of the Central Labor union and
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Employees were brought
together late yesterday afternoon for a
friendly talk and to become better
acquainted" is expected to lead to
some definite proposition upon which
negotiations can be opened looking to
a speedy settlement of the strike. Yes
terday's conference came so suddenly
that everybody was taken completely
by surprise and the fact that both
sides got together for ar exchange Of
views is looked upon as a sign that the
Transit company is willing to concede
a point and discuss peace plans with
the strikers.
The traction officers had repeatedly
announced to various committees seek
ing a settlement that it would not dis
cuss plans for ending the conflict until
the strikers returned to work and
opened negotiations as employees OF the
company. 1t was reported that a def1-
mite proposition had been presented at
the conference. This is untrue, but
the way certainly has been paved, II Is
declared, for the presentation of a
plan upon which settlement. it Is
hoped, will be reached.
Those at the Conference.
The conference was brought about
by Edward Lowber Stokes, a member
of the stock exchange and a nephew
of the late John Lowber Welsh. who
was interested in streeG car companies
in this city. Those at the conference
were Charles O. Kruger, president OF
the Rapid Transit company; George H.
Earle one of the city Representatives
of the company's board: w. d. Mahon.
president of the Garments union, and
three members of the Central Labor
union.
All those at the conference declared
themselves as satisfied with the prog
ress of events and while no predictions
were made, they expressed themselves
trouble. Mr.. Mahan in a statement OF
what occurred at the meeting, said:
1--WE discussed the general situation
without laying down any basis of a
settlement. It was suggested that both
sides carefully think over the entire
matter with the hope that We might
be able later to come together again
and reach some kind of a settlement.
"There was the best of feeling, seem
ingly, all the way around, when we
adjourned"
The committee OF seven of the
United Business Mems association,
which last week began a movement for
peace, is still at work devising a plan
of settlement. Unless the contending
parties get together themselves. the
committee will meet tonight to decide
upon plan that may bring about an
adjustment of the difficulties.

Palm, Walking Storage, Held to Court
for Fleeing Friend.

August Palm, a walking branch of the
Anhauser Busch, liquid foodr storage,
who has been interviewed times innum-
cradle by Chief Eaton and his police
and paid many a fine in Judge Urmy's
court for various petty offenses and
getting drunk but never spent a day in
the city Jail because his benefactor
gave bonds and paid fines, was ground
through the higher mill of the city
court today and passed on to the dis
trict court.
This time as in many previous ones,
the offense is against that benefactor,
James WertS, proprietor of feed store
on West Sixth avenue. Werts is an
old man bearing an unaccountable love
for Angus. Palm. When August is ar
rested, he gives the bond. When Aug
list is fined, he pays the fine. The
wondering police often tried to caution
Werts. advising him that August would
one day hit" him a plenty, but the
old mans trust was unshaken.
The time seems to have grown ripe
some time since for the great coup.
Palm, according to the testimony to-
day, obtained some $500 from Mr.. Werts.

cement blocks and to bIild factories,
and then some more to buy cement. He
represented that he had the contracts

contracts for cement blocks which,
when sold, would repay Mr.. Werts.
Mr.. Werts still believes August
would have done it. too, and wanted to

save further fleeing and had the florid
Palm arrested. The evidence in the city
court was considered sufficient to hold
him and Judge Simon bound him over
to the district court under $500 bonds.

Mr.. Carter said:
I'VE thought the sending out of an

Stocks Were Affected.
New York. March 15.-The threat
of strike of firemen and enginemen
on western railroad depressed the
stock market today. Shares of the
roads Immediately affected were sold
freely and suffered losses of from 1
to 3 points during the morning. 8
transactions.
There came a lull in the selling
when it was reported that the rail-
road companies had appealed to the
Washington authorities for media
tion in the dispute with their en-
ployes. The strike talk supplied al
most the sole influence in the stock
market.
