CULTURISTS HEAR PINCHOT
Speech in Carnegie Hall Devoid of
Personalities.
Likens RoOseyeIt's Conservation
summons to the Declaration of
independence.

New York. March s--Gihord Pinchot
with nothing to say OF a personal sort,
spoke to-day 10 the Ethical Culture So
ciety In Carnegie Hall. on the general
subject OF conservation
Mr.. Pinehot gave HIS audience a his
tory OF the conservation movement from
the time Mr. Roosevelt summoned the
governors of ali the States in conference.
he said that the address which Mr.
Roosevelt sent out wasn't any less i'm
portant. at least in so far as the public
good was concerned. than the Declara-
ton OF Independence. He told of the
conference Of the delegates from Canada,
Newfoundland. Mexico, and the United
states whick followed. and the call which
that conference sent out 70 all the ma
tons of the world for a meeting of dele
gates to discuss plans to conserve the re-
sources of all countries.
This meeting" said Mr.. Pinchot, has
not yet been held. but heresay was the
highest degree that we have reached.
Unhappliy while the people OF the United
States were ready TO demand the con-
servation OF their natural resources, their
representatives in Congress were not.
Congress passed laws prohibiting the ex-
penditure Of money in the interest Of con-
servation. except by a commission espe-
cially appointed for the purpose. But il
made no provision for the commission.
and what work was done had to be done
by voluntary committee"
He said that everybody agrees with the
conservation programme up to the point
where action begins. The moment" he
said, you begin to make conservation.
something more than generalities. YOU
find the lire drawn with complete sharp
ness between those who believe In special
privileges and general interest. 1t is an
active fight and it is growing better every
day"

CALLS HOUSE THE STRONGEST
TEMPERANCE BODY IN WORLD
Bennett Tells Mass Meeting Any Prohibition Measure
Viii Pass if 1t Gets on Floor for Vote.

THE House OF Representatives is the
strongest temperance body in the United
States, and perhaps in the world, If any
temperance or prohibition measure ever
gets on the floor of the House. or the Sen
ate either. it will pass beyond the shadow
of a doubt"
Representative William S. Bennett
startled a white ribbon mass meeting into
display of enthusiasm with this state
ment yesterday afternoon at the Luther
Place Memorial Church.
The New York gubernatoriaI possibility
championed the Gallinger bin for liquor
traffic reform in the District, not as his
idea of what temperance regulation should
be, but as a step nearer complete prohibi-
ton IN the Capital.
SMALL, But EnthusiastIe.
The mass meeting was small, but It
was enthusiastic and there we're frequent
ripples Of applause during the addresses,
Rev. Mr. Dexter, of Takoma Park. opened
the meeting with an invocation, and Rev.
z. c. Dinwidee introduced Representative
Bennett.
The New Yorker explained he had In
troduced the Gallinger bill in the House
without much understanding of what il
was about, just because II was tenn

senting a district where there are more
than 40 saloons, but that he makes it

hibition act and viii continue 20 do so If

the House" he said. 1T will be adopted
with few dissenting voices. Why will il
pass? Simply because so many Members
OF Congress are representing temperance
districts, and It is invariably true that
each OF them viii try to please their con-
stituents. If the country wants Wash
ington dry 1t will so dry
Perhaps some account of conditions
in New York would apply to the situation
here There We have a saloon to every
$50 persons, which is far too many. We
have recently had introduced IN the as
sembiy bill TO regulate the number of
saloons to one 10 every 1000 population,
and it viii be made a law.
Too Many Saloons.
Here In Washington there are too
many saloons. and ! was amazed to learn
this morning that there is one person 10
every twenty in the District dependent
on charity. The reason is Obvious. l
think it would be wise If there were one
saloon to every 1000 citizens here.v
Mrs Margaret Dye Ellis, of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. read
the GailingeF- Bennet bill, and went into
the details of it's regulating clauses.
Representative Bennett has told yeu
about the tramps in the Bowery mis-
siens. she said. but you don't have TO

MORE ARGUMENT ON
 INCREASING PRICES

Washington, March 31.-"Unless some one can find a way to repeal the law of of supply and demand, there is no remedy for increasing prices," as- serted Samuel c. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex, counsel for the Cattle Raisers' association of Texas, before the Sem ate food Investigating committee. The people of the United States never ex- pect cheap meat again."
 MT. Cowan told the committee that in the future 1t would be necessary for cattle raisers to maintain as high or even higher prices than at present in order to keep pace with the increased cost of grazing land and feed and high wages paid to induce men to work on farms. MT. Cowan said cities are att tracting young men away from farms to such an extent that it is almost im- possible to get sufficient help to make production pay with the growing de- mand.

speed the man dropping the charge though in his opinion immediately above the object of attack. might be anywhere but within the sphere of action as con trolied by the momentum of his machine
 and gravity. Were it possible for the aeroplane to come to total inertia this
 would be a simpler matter. The sugges-
 ton made that the machine circle over the object to be mined is of no value fol the reason that the momentum inparted
 to the missile would cause it to follow the same trajectory course.
 There is no doubt that with great deal of training the aerial mine would sooner or later gain in efficiency In lower alti-
 tudes but that he would be able to ever gain the accuracy obtained by modern ar
 tillery is out of the question in the case of elevations greater than So0 feet. Yet,
 he will have to keep at a far greater
 height to even approach the object of attack for otherwise guns of the enemy
 would find him easy quarry.
 AS factor in the military intelligence department the aeroplane is just as woe fully handicapped in its present state. Ad- hitting that sooner or later its motive power will be perfected to great de- gree of reliability and that it's operation will be rendered less hazardous, there are still a number of serious drawbacks that will impair it's value. A well-directed shrapnel Will bring the machine down like a plumnet and injury to one of it's
 wings will do the same thing. The air pressure against it's canvas planes Is so great that the perforations made by even few sfrapnel missiles would cause them to tear, and percipitate the machine to
 the ground.
 The present value of the aeroplane as a
 military means is practically nil. In ad-
 dition to all sorts of motor troubles there l.. ~ t.xr r1.<x
 tor, obliged to make a landing in the enemy's territory for slight repairs or any other cause, would not succeed in getting into the air again except in s..-. instances where he could alisht on a suit able starting place. The fact that at present 1t takes more men to start the machine than it will carry is the most serious problem military operations by | means of the aeroplane have to contend | with
