TALK WITH 7. R.
PLEASES P|NCHOT
Former President Denies There
Is Significance in Prom
ise of Speech

PORTO MAURIZIO, Italy, April 12.-
After spending a second day with Mr..
Roosevelt, the afternoon being occupied
in another long tramp into the noun
tains, Clifford Pinchot left for Zurich
tonight, seemingly in a happy state OF
mind. He still declined to make any
statement with reference to his confer
ence with the ex-president, but his
beaming countenanee was as eloquent
as words.
"Will you say whether you are satis-
fed with the result of your visit?" was
asked, but Mr.. Pinchot only smiled
broadly.
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently is not greatly
exercised over conclusions that may be
drawn in the United States from the
announcement made today that he had
accepted an invitation from the former
chief forester to address the National
Conservation congress this summer.
my actions are frequently misunder-
stood" he said, speaking of the matter
this evening.
Mr.. Roosevelt then explainedethat he
would have attended the congress re-
gardless of what had happened during
his absence, and that in his address he
would not necessarily speak of the past,
but of the future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt dined alone
with Miss Carew at the Carew villa,
and passed a quiet evening.
Kermit, with several friends. took a
motor trip along the coast, extending
the journey beyond the French frontier
to Monte Carlo, where he dined and
passed the evening.
The police investigation shows the
man Magagno. who last night was
found prowling about the villa with a
letter in his pocket addressed to- Mr..
Roosevelt asking for a position as
valet, is a harmless vagabond, having
no connection with the anarchists.
Former Mayor Phelan of San Fran
cisco, who was expected to visit the
former president today, failed to put
in an appearance.

VATICAN EMPHASIZES ITS
STAND TOWARD ROOSEVELT

ROME, April 12.-The vatican has
authorized statement with reference
to a call made by abbot Lawrence
Janssens, one of the most learned
Benedictines and secretary of the
Congregation of the Affairs of Relig
ions, on former President Roosevelt,
on the eve of the latters departure
from Rome.
''The holy father has highly disap-
proved of Father Janssens' initiative
towards Mr.. Roosevelt, as cabled
through the Associated Press, as the
act of his evidently lends to an inter-
probation offensive to the holy father.
Father Janssens acted through his
own impulse without any authoriza-
ton from anyone whatever
The statement further emphasizes
the vatican policy, which, to use its
own words, was that 'it did not wish
Mr. Roosevelt to bracket the pope
with more or less royal personages
he will boast of having hunted in
Europe after his African hunt"

STANFORD REACHES LIMIT;
NEEDS MORE END0WMENTS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April
12.-That Stanford university mas
reached the limit OF its expenditure as
far as it's present available funds are
concerned, was the declaration OF
President David Starr Jordan IN an
address before the upper classmen OF
the university today.
In concluding, after making the
above statements, he laid especial en-
phasis on the fact that the trustees
contrary to general opinion, are al
ways ready to receive large sums or
small for special purposes, and con-
cluded with the statement that tue
future of the university depends upon
the ability of the trustees TO secure
new endoWments.

HI HEODORE BELL. the man and
The citizen, and Theodore Bell, the
\ leader OF the states Democracy.
the reformer, the political giant, ora
cor and diplomat, were revealed to a
vivid advantage yesterday when, as his
party's candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination, he stepped up on the plat
toIm at the Democratic state confer
nee in Blanchard hail and at a mo-
l1ent when the harmony and prospects
of the states Democracy seemed
threatened by several discontented
delegates from San Francisco threw
down the gauntlet to his handful OF
critics, appealed for harmony and una
nimity defended the course pursued
by the good government members of
his party, and, by a powerful and ora
torical argument which thrilled every
one who heard 1t, dispelled the first
small cloud which appeared to be form
ing on the Democratic horizon. ere 1t
had assumed the proportions sufficient
to cast a shadow on the conference.
Ii was a critical moment. Louis h.
Mooser, a delegate from San Francisco,
had sought to amend a motion sub
mitted by a member of the Los An
Reles delegation empowering the con-
ference to call another meeting when
ever fifty members should request IL
to do so. There was but little debate,
and the conference might have adopt
ed the resolution, with the San Fran
cisco and other northern delegations
fayoring it, had II not been that Theo-
lore Bell quickly perceived the
gravity of the situation.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-13
QUICK 10 SEE DANGER

He scented the dangers that might
result from such resolution, and
realized that Mr.. Mooser and his
friends were endeavoring to have the
conference do something which 1t has
not the power to do.
II these men had reckoned on
the presence of wide-awake lead
ers who stand for good govern
ment and recognize the able
and efficient work of the state central
committee, they had not seemed to re-
member 1t; but there was quick
consultation.
During the hum of voices, while the
question was yet pending, Mr.. Bell
stepped suddenly 10 the rostrum, his
lips set, his eyes fixed intently on the
San Francisco delegates, his hands
elenched, his attitude like that or a
gladiator in defense of the principles
for which he has so long devoted his
energies.
1t cannot be denied that in the pres
ent state conference there has crept
a small coterie of ''old push Demo-
crats-a handful of men who secretly
are opposed to the good government
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy
the Democracy of Southern Califor-
mia. These men are from the north
from San hrancisco--where for many
years. until recently, one w. f. Herrin
has sat alone in his office and by press
ing a button dictated the political af-
fairs of acknowledgements its com
mercial and industrial destiny-abso-
lutely controlled its courts and legis-
latures
Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-13
IN THE MINORITY

But these men are in the minority;
they are shrewd enough to realize that
the machine days are over; the old
corrupt gangsters have been put to
flight; a new and decent generation
has taken charge; a good government
element is rapidly wrestling from 1.-THE
push'' its arbitrary powers. These men
have no place in the present Californla
state conferences; yet few are there
ut was my earnest desire" said Mr..
Bell. ito refrain from participating in
any discussion during the first day of
our meeting; but I am very much
afraid there are some men here who
may place a wrong conceDtion on the
functions of this conference. | want
every Democrat within my hearing to
understand thoroughly the legal status
of this conference both in the party
and before the courts.
''The suggestion came from Los An

a conference, and the executive COM

met to consider the request 1t was
concluded that a conference should be
held. at which the Democrats of Cali

Wet Weather Retarded Attendance,
but Rev. Boswell Is Well Pleased
with First Meeting.
WATCHING JESUS" SUBJECT
OF SPEAKERS FIRST ADDRESS
Meetings Aim to Bring Together Peo-
pie from All Religion. Denomina-
ions.-Music Tonight.

The three weeks evangelistic cam
paign in Bemidji was opened at the
national guard armory last evening.
Considering the wet weather which
naturally kept many people away,
the first meeting of the campaign
was great success. Rev. J. o. Bus
well, in charge of the three weeks
discussion of religion, declared this
morning that he was well pleased
with the opening of the campaign.
"Watching Jesus" was the sub.
ject on which Mr.. Boswell spoke
last night. The principal idea of
his excellent address was that
when the whole truth is presented
to a person it brings about great
changes in that ones attitude and
actions; that when a man sees the
whole picture of forgiving Christ
nailed to the cross for the re-
demption and betterment of man,
his whsle life is changed for i'm
provement. -
The aim of these meetings, said
Mr.. Boswell, is to bring the people
together without regard to de-
nomination or form of religion,
but simply to persuade them to
attempt to lead better lives. These
meetings cannot fail to aid in i'm
proving the moral tone of Bemidji.
Final arrangements for the appear
ance of large chorus on the plat
form last evening were not completed
but c.. M. Martin of Minneapolis,
who has charge of the musical part
of the campaign, expects to have rs
voices in his special chorus tonight.
He is requesting the aid of the sing
ers in all of the churches. Mrs. A. A.
War6eld. who plays the pipe organ
at the Presbyterian church, presided
at the piano. Two pianos and two
players have been secured for to-
nights services.

age from Beltrami county, Aitkin
county has the first murder case
which has been tried here during the
past seven years.
Atkins last murder trial, seven
years ago, resulted in the conviction
of Ole G. Olson, farmer of this
county, who killed his daughter, and
Olson was hanged from scaffolds
erected in the Jail here, the present
sheriff, Chris Haugen pulling the
lever which sprung the trap and sent
Olson into eternity. Olson. was
enraged because his daughter in:
tended to marry man whom be did
not like and he stabbed his daughter
with big knife, the woman dying a
few moments after the knife thrust
was made. ~
Interest in the trial of Olson
was intense, and seems to have

been tried twice previously on the

Harry Bauers, Well Known Farmer
Living Near Bemidji, Returns Dis
gusted From Western Canada.
NO DRINKING WATER-BUT
ALKALI LANDS, HIGH PRICES
Decides That Minnesota's Woods
Lakes, Game and Fish Are Good
Enough For Him.

Western Canada is not all land
of milk and honey" according to
the report of Harry Bauers, a we'll
TODD farmer living near Wilton, a
short distance from Bemidji, and
who recently went to that land OF
much advertised resources but
returned few days ago thoroughly
disguised with his trip.
Il found everything in that new
country but just what was advertised
so strongly by those men who are
trying to send farmers into western
Canada. On my trip 500 miles
west of Emerson, | found that all
the towns where l stopped had to
get their drinking water piped from
streams or mountain currents from
six to IS miles away.
Furthermore, I want to corro-
borate Farmer French's recent state
ment that that part of Canada is
all alkali land, just as Mr.. French
was quoted as saying in the Be;
midje Pioneer. Two-thirds of the
entire country in that district is
covered with alkali. The towns
that l visited are Moose Jaw, Medi-
cine Hat, Swift Current, Gull Lake
and Maple Creek.
Il took an automobile trip As
miles out of Maple Creek and l
found a very small amount of land
which was fit to live upon. The
country is filled with alkali, stones,
hills and "gumbo" which make
farming in that country impossible.
And the cost of living is enorm-
Gus. l think it bad enough here in
Minnesota, but this is paradise in
comparison with western Canada.
The best flour there costs $3.75 per
hundred, hay is 90c bale; potatoes
S1.OO per bushel and butter, that
article which every man can have in
this country, is worth soc a pound
in Saskatchewan. Coffee, we'll you
can't get it, they haven't got it in
that country. The nearest you can
