WATER TRUST near
AFFIRMS GARFIELD
Pleads for Cooperation of State
and Federal Governments
in Conservation -

| DENVER, April 1S.-Declaring all the
elements which go to make UP a water
trust are in existence today, and the
tendency toward such Capitalization is
growing stronger, former Secretaryt OF
the Interior James r. Garfield tonight
made strong plea before the Colorado
conservation commission for CO. opera
tion between the federal and state gov
ernments in the conservation of water
power resources
| Garfield, pointed out the, dangers of
monopolization of the water power sites
of the country and declared that il a
water power trust" was not already
| In actual existence, all of the elements
going to make up such trust are
present, and the tendency toward such
Capitalization growing stronger every
day
Garfield defended the course of for
mer President Roosevelt, making use
of broad executive authority to make
withdrawals of water power Sites He
said:
During those periods when the
chief executive acted upon the
broad conception of their power,
the peoples interest and the pub
lie welfare have been better safe
guarded and protected than during
periods when the opposite pre-
vailed. The narrow Interpretation
is the one that private interests
and special privileges find best
suited to their purposes.
BY the wise exercise of execu-
tive power and the enforcement
of the law President Roosevelt
stopped dealing in the public do
main and the waste of natural re-
sources.
Garfield was preceded by Governor
John f. Shafroth. who, at the morning
session of the meeting, declared in nm
qualified terms for control of the wafer
power resources by state governments.
except in so far as national interference
is necessary to protect national in
terests.
At the morning session letters were
read from Phillip P. Wells. counselor
of the national conservation commits
sion. upholding Garfeld's position. and
from Secretary of the Interior Richard
A. Ballinger. upholding Governor Shat
roth's stand Wells letter was in an
swer to request for statement sent
to clifford Pinchot, former. chief for
ester. This letter reached washington
too late to be forwarded to Pinchot in
Europe, and it is understood Wells was
speaking for Pinchot.
The entire evening session was given
oyer to Garfeld's address.

During Roosevelt's stay in Naples

Only part of the letter is allowed
to be made. public. Her father saws
that if it's entire contents were known
there would be great sensa ton. Mrs.
Brown says in part:
Il have written a number of letters
for Roosevelt, which, if their contents
were known, would create quite a SEN
sation in America. But 1 can say this:
The belief here is that Taft has been
foolish to throw away the last shred
of public confidence by publicly ac-
knowledging. as he has in several
speeches of late, his inability to cope
with the situation and his discourage

AIdrich'S Ambition

1t is a well known fact it has been
the ambition of Aldrich to crown his
legislative career with a thorough re-
form of the currency system of the
government. 1t was with that end in
view that he became the moving spirit
in the national monetary commission.
Il would retire from congress with
the greatest reluctance If 1t were not
for the thought that 1 can continue
with the national monetary commits
sion,' said the senator
It was suggested the democrats may
carry the next house of representa-
tives. He said even in such event the
work of the monetary commission
would proceed just the same and he
felt the democrats were just as much

Friends Will Intercede

| 1t is expected that tremendous pres
sure will be exerted to induce Aldrich
to change his mind, but 1t is certain 1t
will be without effect. His leadership
has been so bitterly attacked, espe-
cially during and since the enactment
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, it will
be said in some quarters, that he de-
cided to leave the senate because of
this opposition.
Have you considered that phase of
the question:" he was asked.
Aldrich laughed.
"Oh, of course, some folk will say /
was forced out" he said "but I don't
think any one who knows me will be-
lieve it,"
In view of the hard fight Senator
Hale is having in Maine, where his re-
election is opposed by Judge Powers.
rumors were, heard that he might not
care to serve another term. Some of
his colleague said when A1drich leaves
the senate Hale would not want to stay.
No confirmation could be had of these
rumors, however. His close friends
unite IN the declaration he Is not the
man to retire under fire.

other prominent republican was will

N HARTINEZ, April 18.-Though
lNl posses of armed deputies have
threaded the valleys and canyons
of nearly all Contra Costa county to-
day on the man hunt for the bandits
who held up and robbed the east
bound China and Japan fast mail train
Of the Southern Pacific near Benicia
Saturday night, the desperadoes are
still at large.
OF one thing the officers in charge
of the search now feel confident: They
have become convinced that the two
men who perpetrated the daring hold
up have not been able to make their
way out of the mountainous country
surrounding Martinez and are hiding
somewhere in the hills within 20 miles

Searches for Third Man
P. J. Kindelon, chief of the secret
service of the western division OF the
Southern Pacific, is equally certain
that the supposed third bandit in the
case actually exists and confined his
attentions today to search for this
third man among the sloughs and tule
wastes of the Solano county side Of the

W. AsHINGToN. April 1s.-senator
nv Aldrich authorized, the an
nouncement tonight that he
would positively retire at the expira-
tion of his present term on March 3,
1911.
This announcement was made to a
representative of the Associated Press
who met the senator upon his return
to Washington from Rhode Island,
where he had been in consultation with
his political associates.
81 have decided not to be a candi-
date again. said the Senator. Since
something of my plans have leaked out
already l would be glad to have you
make that statement.
Determined to Retire
Aldrich talked freely of his deter
mination to retire. Ill health alone
dictated his decision, he said. During
his services in the civil war he had a
long siege of typhoid fever and as a
result of that Illness he has suffered
periodically with intestinal trouble.
These discomforts have manifested
themselves when he has worked par
ticularly hard and have caused him
considerable worry.
After talking the situation over with
members of his family the senator
went to Rhode Island last Friday to
make the necessary arrangements. He
wanted to confer with his republican
associates and to insure a republican
succeeding him.
And there is no doubt of the result"
he said. The party leaders have can
vassed the situation and republican
will take my place. All of my asso-
ciates in the state are as confident as
on that score"

HOLLAND AND TULIP BULBS.
Dutch Formerly Priced Tulips As We
Now Do Orchids.

Holland, to most of nus perhaps, i'm
plies a comparatively small, fiat country
considerable portion of which lies ac-
tually below sea level, land of dykes
canals and windmills, with several heroic
epochs in it's past and a somewhat go
ahead trade and reputation at present
But 1t requires a rather closer scrutiny
than this to look as it We're down thu
lanes and byways of national industries
and it is by this process the in-
quirer is led to stumble up against the
pretty little story of the Dutch bulb.
The enormous number and variety OF
Towering bulbs have become so pro
nounced a feature of modern spring gar
dening that there exists tendency to
regard all bulbs and bulb growing rattle
in the light of an innovation peculiar to
the horticulture of today. This, however
is not. though Indeed it may come as
surprise to many to learn that as earh
as the sixteenth century. and even NOR
so during the seventeenth, it was
fashionable in Dutch circles to collec
and prize these plants as orchid CROWN
is among us now.
But the tulip. like the hyacinth tina
came from the Levant. was original
from the east. and as we look back m
through the mists Of 300 years or NOR
to the days when the Dutch were II
