J. W. WHEATON MAY DIE
OF, WOUND IN HIS HEAD
Found at Twelfth and Harvey and
Doubt Thrown on Manner
of Injury.

Bleeding profusely from a wound at the
base of his skull, j. w. Wheaton, 30 years
old, railroad switchman of Toledo, Ia,
was found at $50 O'Clock last night lying
in a dying condition on the sidewalk at
Twelfth and Harvey streets.
The man was hurried to st. Joseph's hos
pital in the police ambulance attended by
DR.. o. c. Bishop, where It was found he
was suffering from conclusion Of the
brain. Little hope is given for his re-
covery.
Whether Wheaton had been slugged and
robbed and left lying on the walk or
whether he stumbled and fell hitting his
head upon the curbing, is a mystery.
Weight is added to the latter theory by
the fact that the man wore a wooden right
leg
No valuables or money was found on his
person.
Michael Pappas OF 600 South Thirteenth
street stumbled over Wheaton's form in
the dark. Pappas said at first he thought
the man intoxicated and started to walk
on, when he noticed blood flowing across
the sidewalk. He notified the police.
DR.. Bishop estimated that the man had
been lying in that condition for more thar
a half hour before he was found.

Omaha May Get the
Next Conservation
COngress-Wallace
Head Of the Conservation Congress
Says This is Ideal Place for
Convention.

Conservation Of soil fertility and not the
protection and development Of natural re-
sources will be the chief material for de-
liberation at the 1911 Conservation con-
gress Henry Wallace says 80. He adds
the suggestion that Omaha Is an ideal
place In which 20 hold the convention, ex-
planning that this city is the pivotal point
Of the greatest agricultural producing area
in the world.
why not hold the next meeting In
Omaha" declared Mr. Wallace,
The executive committee of the con
gress had a session in Washington re-
Gently, but the next meeting place was not
designated" said Mr.. Wallace. Person
ally. 1 prefer the west for the reason that
emphasis will not be on conservation Of
resources by the government, but by the
states especially as to the conservation
Of soil fertility. President Taft's attitude
positively settles that argument, and IL is
perfectly satisfactory to clifford Pinchot as
well as the rest OF us
. There is no reason why Omaha should
not bid for the coming convention. There
seems TO be no doubt but that 1t will be
held somewhere in the west, and the only
western city that will be In the field will
most likely be Kansas City Cities along
the Missouri river are especially desirable,
and Omaha would be the best Of all to at
tract the greatest number of persons in
! terested in progress and soil fertility.
I'VE do not expect to have a political
jamboree at the next convention such as
characterized the st. Paul meeting. There
will be no politics in it at all II I have
my way, and 1 think I will. What we
want to do is go right to the heart OF
things that should interest the farmer,
| for upon his success depends the success
OF the nation. His prosperity depends on
| fertility of the soil, and on this propo-
sition the west has prior claim on the
next convention. Washington, d. c., and
| Rhode Island both want the next meet
ing, but / prefer to come west II a
| convention place should be selected out
| this way the convention would probably
| be held in September, while Washington
would wait until February OF 1912.

METUCHEN WIN.
OPEN GAME

Special to III. EVENING NEWS.


Metuchen, March 27:-The base
ball season of 1911 opened here
Saturday afternoon in a well played
match between the New Brunswick
high school and the Metuchen high
school. From start to finish 1t was
one that tickled the fans. Metuohen
started on with two runs In the first
and one in the second. The Bruins
wick boys thought that was enough
for a starter and so there were no
more for a while. Metuohen only
allowed Brunswick three goose eggs
until the fourth and then the boys
from the other side of the Rarltan
chalked up three straight. This left
the score a tie and that was going
some.
The tie continued until the sew
enth and the Metuchen boys had a
merry-go-round Just long enough to
pull In three more runs. This put
new life IN the lads from the county
seat and in the next inning they
made two more marks. After that
neither side scored. Molineux was
responsible for a very pretty double
play In the fifth. The feature Of the
game was the pitching Of Clemen-
sen. This young man showed that
there was good stuff in him for big
ger games. He struck out eighteen
of the Brunswickers and they were
good hitters at that. They could not
get onto Clemensen'B curves, how
eve The work of Clemensen will
probably result in he being made
the captain of the Metuchen high
school team. The scores:
