congress MAY Be
Held in OCTOBER

Washington, June 2.-Three mem
bers of the executive committee Of
the National Conservation congress,
Messrs. White, Baker and Ship, are
in conference today with Ralph
Wheelock, representing the govern
ment of Minnesota and J. H. Beck,
who is here in behalf of the CONNER
cial organizations of st. Paul, relative
to the date of the congress to be held
in the Minnesota capital. The indica-
ton are that a conclusion will not be
reached until late in the day. Clifford
Pinchot, who was scheduled to reach
Washington this morning, will not ar
rive until $3.50 O'clock. Until he has
had an opportunity to confer with the
other members Of the committee and
the Minnesota representatives, the
date of the st. Paul congress will not
be determined. Messrs. Wheelock and
Beck will make every effort to fin
ish up the business today. They will
ask that the date of the congress be
postponed a month. 1t was originally
determined that congress should
be held the first week in September
the precise date to be fixed at the
meeting of the executive committee,
which is now in progress.
1t will be pointed out by the st.
Paul men that, while they are pre-
pared to carry out the original pro-
gramme if the engagements of Colonel
Roosevelt make it necessary, st. Paul
people would much prefer if the con-
gress were not brought into conflict
with the state fair, which will be held
the first week in September.

DISASTROUS FIRE
AT BRAMPTON

Brampton, N. D., June Fire,
probably of incendiary origin, destroy
ed the Cooper Bros general store,
Kurth' S hardware and machinery
store and the Dakota Lumber Co., this

900, with $4,000 insurance Kurth's
loss was $4,000, with $4,000 insurance.

The State Fair grounds Is ABOUT
the busiest place in Detroit. The aris-
tocrats of harness horse-racing-
equines, owners and drivers-are here
in fiocks and droves.
The horse. OF course. attracted the
major amount of attention. All day
carload after carload OF fast PAGERS
and trotters disembarked from pala'
tial railroad cars and were hustled
to stables. The regular stables were
filled today. and by the time the ami
mails that come late from Kalamazoo
arrive the temporary stalls, 100 In
number, will all he occupied. IL Is
expected that over 400 horses VIII
be on hand when the first race starts
Monday. Ample provision has been
made for the accommodation of all.
The track at the fair grounds today
sported a steady stream OF thorough
breds working out In preparation for
the Blue Ribbon. The plant never
was in better shape and 1t Is quite
probable that some new records will
be hung up here next week as the
conditions OF the surroundings and
the quality OF entries point to that
conclusion.
The big lights OF harness-racing all
arrived today from Kalamazoo. The
millionaires who follow the races as
pastime are overjoyed at the Con
dition OF the sport. Harness-racing
is an expensive thing for the men
who own stables, and few of them
expect to break even. Harness-racine
attracts most Of them through a love
of the horse and OF contest.
While the running game has de-
clined steadily through adverse leg.

displayed steady Improvement. The
meetings at Grand Rapids and Kala.

BATTERS HOWL BECAUSE
PITCHER THROWS FOR HEAD

Baseball players all over the coun-
try are making a loud howl this sea-
son against the bean BALI used by
pitchers to brighten batters. Batters
say the pitchers are deliberately try
ing to hit them. II certainly does
look like 1t, judging from the number
OF batters who have been hut this
year.
Several players have been killed
and a number badly hurt by being
struck with supposedly wild heaves.
There are many cases on record in
baseball where star-players- were
compelled to retire from the game for
good on account of being dangerous
ly injured by pitched balls.
Addie Joss, the famous Cleveland
pitcher. admits that he uses bean
ball" on dangerous batters in order
to scare them and he charges other
twfrlers with doing the same trick.
Next time you attend league
game watch a pitcher when he is in
tight hole and good hitter up. It's
good bet the twirler will peg one
at the batters head in an attempt to
intimidate him. Often batters charge
pitchers with Intentionally hitting
them. It's about time for the national
commission to get busy and do some
thing to check pitchers who deliber-
ately hit batters.
III fine or suspension was imposed
on a pitcher every time he struck 4
