IL almost certainly lay the founda-
tion stone for state supervision of ma
tural resources instead of bureau
cratic control from Washington, the
conference of western governors held
their last meeting in the office of Gov
ernOr William Spry yesterday.
1t was definitely decided that the
western states would send strong rep
resentatiVe committees to the National
Go. servation congress at st. Paul,
September TO 9, inclusive. and will
take the following platform upon
which a fight will be made:
That the governors of the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast states af-
firm,
That In legislatively solving the
problems Of conservation the national
congress adhere to the doctrine OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, that the public lands are
an important national possession, held
IN trust for the maturing states.
That state government, no less bene-
Iicenuy than national government, is
capable or devising and administering
laws Tor the conservation or public
property, and that the national and
state governments should legislatively
coordinate 10 the end that within a
reasonable period OF time the state gov
erEments be conceded the full and COM
plete administration of such cOnseFva-
tiOn laws as may be found adaptable 10
The varying conditions OF the several
states.
That the experience Of the conserva-
tiOn states demonstrates that DISPOSE

listing national conservation laws and
regulations have tended 10 intrench
mOnopolies and interests menacing the
common welfare and that mOdlfica-
tions OF such laws and regulations
should be promoted by the cOnserYa-
ttOn congress.
That the elimination from the ma
tiOnal forest reserves OF all homestead
and untimbered grazing lands is i'm
mediately eNpedient.
That the use and control OF all water
power sites inheres OF right in the
states, within restrictions insuTing per-
Ietuai freedom from monopoly.
That the privilege of American citi-
gems 10 seek and develop mineral wealth
wherever il NAV be found should be

That the idea OF deriving federal

Warrants Sworn Out by Pres
ident Harahan After an In
vestigation Had Been Going
On for a Number Of Months.
SOME OF THE RASCALS
SETTLED PRIVATELY
Political Graft Said to Be Triy-
iaI When Compared to the
Gigantic Frauds Perpetrat-
ed by the Railroad Gang,
AFFAIR CREATES A STIR

CHICAGO, Aug. I8.-Three former
- Railroad company were arrested
today In connection with the alleged
huge frauds by means OF which the
railroad asserts AZ was detrauded out
Of 81 100000. The men arrested Werei
Frank Is. Hartman, former general
manager Of the road.
Charles J.. Ewing, former manager
OF lines north OF the Ohio.
John X. Taylor, formerly general
stOrekeeper of the road.
The warrants were EWOrH 10 by
President Harnhans of the railroad con-
eerned. They charge the three men
with conspiracy 10 cheat and defrHud
the railroad by false pFetenses and with
operating a confidence game. Harri-
man and Ewing were taken 10 the Her-
risOn street police station. Their bonds
of $4,000 each were signed BY a pro-
fessiOnal bOndsman.
The allegations in the sO-called graft
case are among the most sensational
in which high officials OF a great cor
pOratiOn ever have been named. Ihe
Investigation began over year ago.
II reached crisis last spring when
President Harahan began actions 10 re-
cover sums SAID 10 a5sresats more
than 81 900 600, alleged 10 have been se-
cured by car repair companies IN con-
nivancs with high officials OF the road.
Hartman, Ewing Taylor and large
number
resigned their positions.
Much Of the money is said TO have
been repaid privately. The name OF Ira
@. RaWu, vice president OF the road
who resigned TO become president OF
the MonOn, and who was found dead
recently at his home. with a bullet
wound in his breast, was brought into
the scandal. Murray Nelson Jr., attOr-
uey for the Illinois Central, stated to-
day that RaWns death headed off war
rants which would have been issued Tor
him.
Confessions Secured.
Private detectives. working under the
directions OF President Harahan, are
said 10 have unearIned frauds otner
than those connected with padded car
repair bills. These are said to involve
the dIVerting OF Sl,OOO,OOO or more
from new construction. The iuVesLi-
gators declare they have secured sew
eral confessions which viii be used ia
their attempt TO fasten the guilt on cul-
pable persons.
TOday's developments bring the name
Of Ewing into the case for the first
time. He was seen at his residence by
reporters, but declined TO discuss tie
charges against him. Hartman em-
braced the opportunity 10 declare his
innocence.

EPIDEMIC in italy.

Bari, Italy. Aug. 19.-The epidemic Of
cholera in southern Italy is steadily
showing an increase in the districts at
fected, particularly in the town of
Tani, where the number of deaths al
ready is more than thirty.
The latest official reports last night
gave twenty deaths at TAM, showing
the rapidity with which the disease is
increasing there. The epidemic is Of
a virulent type and the death rate is
high.
Even graver danger is anticipated
from the flying population of the in
fected districts, who may bear the
germs of the disease to regions not yet
involved. TAM seems almost deserted
as a result of the panic, 10000 per-
sons, fully half of the population, haV-
ing fled the town. Fully as many have
escaped from the island town of Bar
letta.

Rome Not Affected.

Rome, Aug. 19.-RumOrs that the cpl
demic of cholera which has broken out
in Apulia had spread to Rome are EN-
phatically denied. There have been no
cases here and the general health con-
ditiOns in Rome are excellent better
than at any time in the last ten years.
Although the danger OF infection is
not felt here, the pope today ordered
the laZarettO Of Santa Marta, built in
side the vatican by Pope Leo in 1885,
during the great cholera epidemic al
Naples, but never used because of the
absence of cholera patients. made ready
for any emergency.
The influence OF the church is to be
used TO assist the civil authorities in
fighting the epidemic, the clergy hav-
ing been urged to use all means to
force compliance with the sanitary reg
ulatiOns on the part of their parish
toner's.
No final decision has been taken re-
garding the proposed departure of King
Victor for the cholera region. The
king. II is said. has determined to
proceed personally to the scene if con-
ditiOns become more serious, in which
case Queen Helena, 1T is feared, would
insist on accompanying him.

CALEB POWERS TALKS
Innocent, but Tempted to Accept
Pardon, He Says.
rBy telegraph to The tribune.


Louisville. Oct 26--Caleb Powers gave
his personal version of his troubles and
triumphs here to-day.
ITO start with he told a newspaper
friend, IF YOU now believe, or have ever
believed, that ] had anything 10 do with
the murder OF Goebel, for Gods sake IN
fairness to an innocent man, dismiss even
the suspicion. I freely confess that had
made up my mind TO go 10 any extremes TO
hold my Office short OF physical violence
and further, hut as for murder, that never
entered my mind or designs.
THE first thing that confronted me when
took my Office was a conspiracy 10 TOD
me Of the high position my people had
given me. II was my temper and my pur-
pose TO fight TO the last ditch for my rights
when Goebei was killed, but his assassina-
ton was as much a surprise 10 me as II
was TO anybody living.
''As 20 the pardon accepted from Gov
ernor Wilson, will tell you right now that
that was the hardest thing ever had to do
in my life Many times. as ! lay In my
cell cut off from Gods sunlight, from lib
erty. the ambitions OF my youth and the
possibility of usefulness to society, / de-
termined that I would lie there and rot be-
fore | would accept the pardon Governor
Wilson was ready to hand me. Finally the
knowledge of my innocence bore down upon
me- and then the temptations of all things
that lay outside Of the prison bars appealed
70 me, and the opportunity to vfndicate
myself before the world and my accuserS
overcaTne me, and I accepted the pardon"
