HEARST COMPLETELY HoLEp.

Mayor Gaynor has Mir. Hearst so completed holed that the only sensible thing he can do is to go into the hole and draw it in after him. He declares thet the whole Cohalan matter was a Mcclellan transaction and was fully completed under his administration. He says the chief clerk, MT. Curtin, signed the warrant under Mcclellan on December 31, 1909, and that he signed no more warrants after that date until January 5 when he was deputized to do business by him; and the warrant was paid on January 1, 1910, four days before a warrant was signed under the Gaynor admintstra- don by the chief clerk.
 This is an official statement from the cooks and no counter statements, arguments or pretences can in any way alter the fact; and it makes as clear as day the truth of Mayor Gaynor's charge against Hearst of putting up a. job against the mayor for political effect-a job which certainly marks him as an assassinator of character

Jarvis Declines Honor.

Col. Charles M. Jarvis of Berlin says of the proposed guiberna toria1 candi dacy for himself, "IH have none of it. That settles it. so far as he is con- cerned.
 Colonel Jarvis, by the way, is a, great believer in Connecticut as farming country, and he would have Connecti- cut manufacturers interest themselves in it with a view to providing more econ omically for the Hvelihoods of their operatives. He is quoted as hav ing said to the New Britain Herald yesterday: Did you ever stop to con- sider that practically all the raw ma terial that our manufa cturers use comes to us from outside the state and something like 15 per cent. of our food products come from outside the state? That is wrong. We ought to raise prac- tically all we consume. There is no better farming land in the world, gen. orally speaking, than right here in Connecticut. and to my mind the great problem that confronts the Connecti- cut manufacturers in the future is the economical feeding of our operatives; or, in other words, l believe that we ought to raise more farm produce. We can do it, and there is no reason why we should not do it
 This little spurt of enthusiasm over the possibilities of Connecticut soil came after the colonel had returned from his farm to his office with the American Hardware corporation. He had just had a few weeks of Hclose- to-the- soil" and said he had never felt better in his life. Why" said he, with me it is head up and tail over the dashboard" And that is just the way Connecticut wants Colonel Jarvis to feel all of the time, but he couldn't if he were governor. Being governor of Connecticut takes the giInper out of the strongest of men. The colonel knows this and is therefore wise in kicking over the traces" thus early. As much as the state would like to honor him with the highest office with in her gift, her people are bound to be lassoed.-Ansonia Sentinel.

The Des Moines Capital says:
 'aThe far east and the far west have been honored in the locating of the last two general conferences. Rev. pr. E. T.

 "Des Moines is now in position, as never before, to make a showing be- fore great organizations with conven- tfons to offer, which must challenge respect. The new Coliseum was the capstone of the great work of prepara- tion whereby Des Moines has become one of the chief convention cities of the west. We have the hotel and rail- way facilities and the other conven- ton halls for side meetings. We have several Methodist churches, with en- ergetic pastors and influential lay men. whom we are positive will be glad to come to the aid of this move ment
 'Des Moines must have the next general conference of the Methodist church and must begin the aggressive work of securing the same now"

he placed a long rubber tube over an
open gas Jet. put the free end in his
mouth and lay down in his bed, COW
ering his head. He had been dead

o'clock. The discovery was made
when some OF the other roomers
smelled gas.

PLAN TO PROTECT

Urges Congress To Authorize Grant

Talks To Conservation Congress On
Subject That vitality Affects Secre-
tary Of Interior Ballinger.

st. PAUL, Mimi, Sept 5.-Presi-
dent Taft. In speech TO the national
conservation congress here today, out
lined his plan for the conservation OF
the natural resources. His recon-
mendations will be embodied In his
annual message to congress, and are
made incidentally In reply to the at
tacks made upon Secretary OF the In
terror Ballinger.
Regarding the Alaska coel lands.
around which the Ballinger case re-
wolves, President Taft sayc 70 private
ccal claims have been allowed or per-
ftc'ed. He urges congress to amend
the law affecting these lands 80 they
can be leased, thereby allowing The
public to exercise wise ccntrci over
them.
President Taft suggests 1t would b.
mu,h better Ii there were less Talk
and more definite action to conserve
tie natural resources.
The arrival of President Taft In st.
Paul today was marked by the lack
of demonstration of a crowd OF 10000
people which surrounded the depot
exits in Eibley-st. The cheering was
sporadic and came from groups In
the throngs.
President Taft was escorted through
the streets, which were well-lined by
practically silent people. The crowds
apparently had come to see him, not
to cheer him.
From a box President Taft review
ed the Labor Day parade and this
event passed of without demonstra-
ton. The line of 10000 union men
passed silently and even grimly be-
fore the president. Over a dozen
unions were not in the parade, having
decided several weeks ago. not to be
reviewed by the president.
President Taft proceeded from the
reviewing stand to the Auditorium,
Where 10000 delegates and invited
guests of the conservation congress
greeted him. There were few labor
ing men in the audience, as they found
most of the seats taken after the
parade was ended. II was openly
charged by the union leaders that the
Auditorium had been packed" against
the common voters, and contained an
audience of business men and their
friends who would be friendly to Taft

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The decision

guilty Of conspiracy when they order

labor in It's street demonstration to-
day. The Labor day parade was one
of the largest ever hel din this city

ganization was carried banner de-

closely approached contempt, but no
attempt was made to interfere with
them. They were the product OF the

In line were members OF the Cloak

their nine weeks struggle. Meme and
women were marching side by side
and stopping the parade occasional to
cheer for their officers.
Before the parade started commit
tee named by the Central Federated
union inspected the marchers. All
were compelled to display the union
label on their uniforms and badges
and a number of paraders were forced
TO discard those that did not show
publicly that they were the product

FARGO. N. D., Sept. 5.-Labor Day
In Fargo claimed Theodore Roosevelt
as the principal feature for its cele-
bration today. Not since the days of
the old land booms throughout the
state has North Dakota gathered SO
great q crowd as jammed the hotels
OF Fargo to join Roosevelt In q great
Labor Day celebration.
Senators McCumber and Purcell

their constituents as Fargo could &C.

Fifteen thousand people crowded
the streets about the Great Northern
station when the colonel arrived last
evening and followed him today from
the hills Of Fargo College to Island
Park.
The colonel laid a cornerstone for
new library for the college and at
Island Park made q Labor Day
speech. He headed a big labor day
parade In big automobile. through
the streets of Fargo on his way to
the park. The colonel and his party
took advantage of the opportunity

lively until early today.
Here again today the Roosevelt In

conversation. North Dakota Is far
from the radical insurgency Of Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa, but the or
ganization men here are convinced
today that the colonel would be can
didate for the presidency. They
argue that the trip which he Is now
completing through the west has con-
vinced him OF his popularity and has
forced him to the conclusion that
when the campaign opens for the COLI
vention. there will be great "popu-
lar demand" for him as a candidate.
The colonel preserved his usual sill
ence regarding the presidential stu
alton, but the local politicians wink
crowds that have gathered throughout
the west to listen to Roosevelt.

children, all carrying big Teddy Bears.
pleased the colonel immensely. The
little ones were all seated on the floor
of his suite at the hotel when he
reached there and he spent fifteen
minutes greeting them.
The colonel will leave Fargo late
this evening for the conservation Coz

at Ithaca last week. No, the old
