ST. PAUL, March 16.-In an ad-
dress today before the Minnesota
conservation convention, Secretary
Of the Interior BaIIinger gave his in.
depreciation of the national obliga-
ton regarding the public domain
and its disposition. The speech, &C.
cording to reports from Washing
ton, had the personal o. X. of Presi-
dent Taft.
The greater portion of the burden
of conserving the natural resources
of the country was laid by Secre-
tary Ballinger at the doors of the
states.
There has been and is" he said,
"a grossly exaggerated notion
among some people as to what the
general government can do in con-
serving the natural resources that
lie in the deposits of minerals that
are contained in the soils and
streams. For the most part, they
have passed into private owner
ship and are under the municipal
jurisdiction of the states. Any ma
tional conservation policy must be
predicated on the policy affecting
the public domain, since for the
most part the states are sovereign
within their own spheres of juris-
diction Therefore, | believe a
greater obligation rests upon the
state than upon the national govern
ment to inaugurate laws to prevent
waste in the utilization of natural
resources.
Congress is now struggling with
the problems relating to water

to retain in the government the

POWER OF MIND
OVER MATTER

WASHINGTON, March TO-
Senator Benjamin r. TilIman,
who has been critically i'll,
gave a demonstration of mind
over matter today when he
started for his home In South
Carolina.
The doctors stated that It
was sheer will power that the
senator was able to make the
trip.
His illness had weakened
him and the paralysis from
which he suffered had left him
in a condition that would make
most men almost helpless the
rest Of their lives, the doctors
said.
Senator TiIIman expressed a
desire to 90 home several days
ago and the doctors opposed it.
He was so insistent and his
assertion of his ability to make
the trip finally won their
consent.

YALE SEVENTH IN
RATING Of TEAMS
Victory by Ell Over Harvard Men
Would Spoil Otherwise Per-
feet Record for Crimson

BOSTON, Nov. 13.--The big game of
the football season comes next Sat
urday when Harvard meets Yale at
New Haven. If Harvard wins she will
be the unquestioned champion of the
east, If not of the country. A Yale
victory such as the Blue scored over
Princeton would lead to mixed opin-
ions on the questions as to which may
claim the championship.
At the present stage of the season,
Harvard easily leads the eastern col
leges. Annapolis may be accorded Sec
ond place, Princeton third, despite yes
terday's defeat by Yale; Pennsylvania
fourth, West Point fifth, Cornell sixth,
and Yale seventh.
The inter-sectional games of Satur-
day between Pennsylvania and Michi-
gan, and Cornell and Chicago offered
little or no basis for comparison be-
tween the east and west.
Saturdays games brought the most
notable injuries of a season. Capt.
Monk, of the West Virginia team, died,
and Chatfield, of the Harvard fresh
men eleven. who was injured in the
game with Yale, is in the hospital and
may be suffering from concussion of
the brain.

ern colleges, with their scores by

Guiding game between the Mccormick

baseball club yesterday afternoon, the
latter club winning by the safe mar
gin of to 8. The score gives but a
slight indication of the diamond strug-
gle that transpired.
Langford was on the mound for the
dark boys and through a pass and an
error allowed the Shamrocks to reg
lister one run in the initial inning,
which set the wearers of the green in
the grand stand and bleachers to root
ing strenuously. But before their
shouts of delight had completely died
away, three of Their duskier opponents
had scampered home in their half of
the initial frame amid vigorous root
ing.
In the third inning, Seaton, playing
center field for the Irish aggregation
made a sensational running catch of
q hig one. With both the willow and
at fielding, Seaton was easily the star
player of the contest, though having
strong rival in Pettus, playing first
base for the Oxys, who figured in sew
eral clever one-handed nabs. When

AST0UNDS RACERS
Participants in Grand Prize Con-
test at Savannah Tell of
Haupt's Adventure
ASSOCIATED Press)

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 13.-Some of
the inside facts about yesterday S
grand prize race came to light today,
among them being the marvellous leap
which Willie Haupt's Benz took when
1t Jumped the track at the dangerous
Montgomery cross roads turn.
Fifteen feet above the ground a small
branch is broken off the live oak which
Haupt sideswiped. Eye witnesses
say the big ear made a complete SOM
ersault, it's rear end severing the
branch. Haupt and his mechanitian
were thrown from the car into the
thicket of bushes which probably saved
them from serious injury.
DRIVERS DISREGARD WARNING
According to officials of the course,
the accidents to Haupt and Wagner
were due to disregarding warnings.
Haupt was running faster than his adj
visers estimated he could travel and
stay on the course, while Wagner re-
fused to see a flag which the officials
at the grand stand gave him to stop.
His car had dropped a bolt in front
of the pits.
Wagners car with part of it's gear
missing, continued around the turn I'M
til it got beyond control and smashed
against a cement culvert.
The Improvement in American driv-
ing since the grand prize race of two
wears ago, was much commented on
bv the officials. At the finish four
American and two foreign cars re-
NAMED on. the track The Americans
never, for a moment, faltered from the
plan thought out by them before the
race.
The foreigners, though having the
great advantage of faster cars, seemed
to forget every element of victory
except speed and daring. There were
frequent comments that the American
team, equipped throughout with ma
chimes as swift as those of the for
eigners, would have driven them to a
better finish.
Wagner, who received the worst in
jury, was reported on the road to re-
covery today.
