General Disposition in House Is To

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 21.--
President Taft has dropped conserva-
ton from the administration legisla-
tive program. This became known
when he summoned representatives
OF the administration organs to the
white house TO hear the news.
Conservation is O debatable mat.

This is taken to mean a complete

Clifford Pinchot has said OF the con-
servation: Failure To act at this SEES
sion OF congress will be equivalent to

IL Is therefore with alarm and re-
greet that the friends OF conservation
have seen President Taft abandon
this as an administration issue.
ExForester Pinchot has offered his
aid to the Taft administration to sc.
cure action from this congress.
At the meeting of governors he In
dorsed all Of Taft's recommendations
and urged that all get behind the
president in pushing the matter to the
stage OF legislative accomplishment.
II Ia therefore more astonishing that
Taft should have taken the moment

Germans OF high degree, but who

are loudest In their criticism of the
kaiser for letting down the bars TO the
Americans and are demanding that
either the court restrictions be re-
moved or adhered to.
Only three of the score OF women
who were received by the kaiser were
connected with the American embassy,
including the wife and daughter OF
Ambassador Hill.
One OF the German papers declares
today that the courts dignity Is COM
promised by association with ordinary
Americans. who are not merely So
cially unfit but are actually sworn re-
publicans."
Under court etiquette, no Germans
are eligible to these court levees ex-
cept those OF noble birth, army and
navy officers, cabinet ministers and
their families. Exalted officials, great
filanciers, merchants and scholars are
not admitted, unless coming under one
of these classifications. Naturally the
letting down of the bars to Americans
OF varying ranks not recognized in
Germany, has raised a storm OF pro-
test. Only four or five of the Amerl-
cans who attended last nights func-

eligible.

BOATS COMPLETE
PERIL0US JOURNEY.
Britannia and Pleasure, of Detroit,
Reach Toledo After Fight With
Ice--will Release Big Gorge.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 21.-(Special)
After a remarkable voyage, the
steamers Britannia and Pleasure, OF
Detroit, engaged to come to Toledo
and break the ice In the Maumee
river arrived off Toledo harbor light
at 9:15 this morning. The boats
passed the center of the city at 1870.
The trip of the two ice crushers,
which began at 6:35 Wednesday
morning, was one continuous strug-
gle. The two ships reached Amherst
burg. Wednesday night, where they
remained until o'clock Thursday
morning. Ii was at the mouth OF the
Detroit river where the most thrilling
experiences were had and where the
Britannia ran onto windows that
threatened to tie her up for an in
definite period. The vessels made but
two miles during the daylight hours
yesterday.
Finally clearing the succession OF
windrows In the vicinity OF Bar point
light, the two vessels worked their
way into the port of lockwood
where they remained last night. The
voyage from lockwood was begun at
an early hour this morning and the
ships evidently had little difficulty IN
blowing through the 12-inch ice be-
tween that place and the Toledo har-
Dor.
The steamers will remove direct to
the c. II. & d. docks south OF the
Fassett-st., bridge and proceed at once
to release the big steel steamers
Rogers and Ball, and tow them to the
Ohio Central slip.
They will then proceed to break
up the ice in the river. This will be-
a perilous task owing to the danger
of releasing the up-river gorge by
breaking up the ice below the gorge.
II is realized that even the ice crush
ers would be helpless before the hun
dreds OF tons of Ice and water that
would be carried In a great crush
down the river. This task will be un-
dertaken with great care. Then the
two boats will proceed down the river
again to remove TO places OF safety
the three boats tied up at the docks
of the Toledo Furnace Co.

MILLIONS POSTAL GAIN.
Increase Over 1908 Is $12,OS3,7 ,72o, or
Six Per Cent Advance.

Washington, Jan. 11.-As a business
institution the postofice department,
next to the United States treasury, is
the greatest in the government. Accord
ing to figures submitted today by
Charles P. Grandfeld, first assistant
postmaster general, for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1909, in his annual re-
port, the gross revenue of the postal
service reached the enormous total Of
$2O3 .562 1888, an increase of $12,0S3, ,72O,
or 6.31 per cent over the preceding
year.
There were 60,144 postofices in ope-
ration on June 80, 1909. During the
year 1926 postmasters were appointed
at presidential offices. At fourth-class
offices 9161 postmasters were appointed,
Concerning the routine of his bureau,
Mr.. Grandfeld says:
'fThe retention of fourth class post
masters during satisfactory service has
become the established practice of the
department, and the policy of recon-
mending the reappointment of presi-
dental postmasters who have proved
efficient has been followed consistently,
with highly beneficial results.
cit is recommended that the law be
so amended as to provide for the ad-
vancement of an Office of the fourth
class to the presidential class whenever
the compensation of the postmaster
amounts to $1,000 and the gross annual
receipts to $1,000 for four successive
quarters"
Mr.. Grandfeld makes a strong argu-
ment in favor of 80 days. annual leave
of clerks and carriers in frst-class and
offices.

BOSTON HAS FIERCE CAMPAIGN
No Party Lines, But S25o,OOO Is Spent
by Various Candidates.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1O.-Boston Sat-
urday night wound up, except for the
finishing touches, the fercest municipal
campaign in it's history. The election
Tuesday will be the first under the new
non-partisan plan and for non-parti-
san campaign this has certainly been a
revelation to the sponsors of the new
order of things.
One of the candidates for mayor con-
fesses he has spent nearly $4,000, and
he accuses his chief opponent of having
spent more than 100000. This charge
is not denied. The other two candi-
dates, without a ghost of a chance of
election, have spent about $4,000. The
various candidates for the city council
have probably spent $4,000, so that
the cost of the campaign to the various
aspirants figures up close to a quarter
of a million dollars.
The ballots on Tuesday will bear the
names of the candidates without party
or other designation, and the campaign
has been non-partisan except SO far as
the known political affiliations of the
candidates have influenced voters.

PRELIMINARY FLIGHT A SUCCESS
Three Men and Two Women Make
Short Balloon Voyage.

Los Angeles, Jan. 10.-The big bal
loon "New York." carrying its owner,
Clifford B. Harmon; Mrs. Alvin French
and her niece, Jean French, as passen-
gers, and George B. Harrison and
George Duessler, balloon pilots, landed
at Casaverduga, in the Glendale val
ley, at 4:47 yesterday afternoon after
a flight of nearly two hours.
The landing was made with ease, and
no discomfort or danger attended any
portion of this, the initial fight of the
aeronauts who have gathered here for
the aviation meet events.
An altitude of 5000 feet was attained
and observations were taken by Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Duessler.
When the great gas-bag was cut
loose at Huntington park at 1855 in
the afternoon, its flight was almost
straight up until it had attained a
height of 1000 feet. Then a strong
current bore it to the northward until
it passed out of sight beyond the haze
that lay over the mountains.
Spectators of the flight believed it
was the intention of the aeronauts to
attempt to sail over the Sierra Madre
but those on board say this
would have been impossible. At
height of 5000 feet, another current
took the balloon to the westward, and
when they were over the Glendale val
ley the aeronauts decided to come to
earth. A distance of about 25 miles
was covered.
