PRESIDENT DISAPPOINTED
But He Has Not Abandoned the
Fight.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 12.-President
Taft was keenly disappointed today
to learn that the senate foreign re-
lations committee had decided to put
the knife into the British and French
general arbitration treaties and to
report them to the senate in a modi-
fled form.
In spite of disappointment he felt
over the changes in the treaties which
indicate the probability that they
might go over to the next session,
the president intends to keep up his
fight to have the pacts accepted In
full. Already he has lined up many
senator's friendly to the administra-
ton and when he returns to Wash
ington on Monday he will continue
his personal campaign.
1t was admitted here tonight that
if the senate insisted upon putting
through the treaty in a modified
form a re-opening of negotiations
with Great Britain and France would
probably be necessary.
The president spent part of to-
day at his desk in the Taft cottage
looking over information which he
expects to use on his return to
in writing his veto mes
sages.
1t is pretty clearly understood
that the statehood bill, the wool re-
vision and farmers free list will
feel the weight of executive disap-
proval. 1t is known that the COM
promise reached by the house and
senate conferees on the wool bill is
not satisfactory to the president and
it is known that the statehood blu
providing for recall of judges, so
far as Arizona is concerned. is not
to his liking, Nbut at present his posi-
ton with regard to the free list bill
is less apparent Indications, how
ever. point to a veto of this bill also.
To callers today the president de-
clared that while he hoped to be
able to visit California on his trip
this fall, he had made no final en-
that would take him that
far west. On the early adjournment
Of congress his plans for that trip
all hinge.

MUCH DEPENDENT
UPON THE WEATHER
Though the Pope is Better He is Far
From Well.

Rome, Aug. 12.-The feeling of ex-
treme pessimism that prevailed with
the masses until Thursday concern
ing the health of Pope Plus has now
given way to the great optimism.
While Improvement has been steady
it has been slow and the tempera-
ture of the patient still remains
slightly above normal. The violence
of the pains in the gouty leg have
decreased but the leg is still trouble
some at intervals and while the
swelling of the affected member is
less than during the early part of
the week, still it is OF such proper
tions as to prevent a normal use Of
the limb. Above all, however. the
weakness of the pontiff and the de-
preston that has fallen upon him is
far from having been overcome and
in the opinion of the physicians re-
mains the greatest drawback to his
ultimate recovery.
If all goes we'll, the doctors say.
especially if the weather remains cool.
two weeks must elapse before the
pontiff will enter upon a period of
convalesence. If there be a return of
excessive heat, serious fears are en-
tertaired of a relapse. Their orders
are that the patient shall remain in
his chamber. practically upon his bed
but that he shall be permitted now
and then to sit in an armchair be-
cause of a desire to relieve tire rest
lessness which is caused by the pom
tiffs being compelled to lie for hours
in one position.
During the afternoon the pope had
a long conversation with Cardinal
Merry del Val. the papal secretary of
state, whom he urged to go to his
summer home, saying he is sure he
will recover.

EVIDENCE OF MORGAN

There Will be no Further, Hearings

quiry into the affairs of the United
States Steel corporation by the spe-
cial committee Of the house of rep
resentatives which has been. in ses-
sion since May halted today. The
committee voted to recess until Oc-
tober 16. but said that no public
hearing would be held until a later
date
Several phases of the inquiry are
to be developed and there are still
witnesses, Andrew Carnegie ard 7. p.
Morgan. Carnegie just before he
sailed for Europe last spring notified
the committee that he would he glad
to appear in the fall and it is likely
that he will be the first witness
when the sessions are resumed.
Regarding Mr. Morgan, the com-
mittee let it be known that his APP
pearance before the committee is de-
sired. Because of his absence in Eu-
rope no subpoena has been issued
but it is almost certain that Morgan

testify regarding the AFFAIRS of the
Steel corporation and the acquisition
of the Tennessee company, but also
to aid the committee in formulating
regulations to congress for the legis

in Illinois asking their opinion as to

as is affected the national but the

lican association of Illinois.

ground by our pumps" This was
in refutation of Golfers statement
that seven years ago the first well
was completed-today the land that
has been watered from that well is
spotted with rank alkali." In another
place, the article describes a certain
corner of the reservation where the
wells are slowly running the land"
In view of the fact that seven years
ago the Roosevelt dam was not only
not completed, but not begun, and
that the government did not under
take to put in wells until it was
certain that electric power would
be available from the dam, the first
well of which the writer speaks as
having been completed seven years
ago was not completed by the United
States government. The first OF the
series of ten wells to which Mr.. Fitch
referred was completed very recently,
so that the least that can be said
of the editorial writer of the National
Weekly is that "he got his dates
mixed"
AS TO whether well irrigation is a
failure or not, Howard L. Reed, en-
gineer in charge of operation and
maintenance of the Salt River Pro-
jeet, said yesterday: Anyone who
thinks that well irrigation is a fail
ure ought to be referred to the
Chandler Wells, south of Mesa. This
is one of the greatest examples of
successful well irrigation in the
United States. They have had equal
ly good fortune with this kind of
irrigation in Southern California, and
on the Hagerman Ranch in New
Mexico"

THE PEOPLES
PULSE FELT.
Preliminary Work To The
Presidential Campaign
INDEPENDENT INQUIRIES
One From the Secretary to
President as to Sentiment
In General and One From
Another Source as to Illi-
nois Outlook.

Chicago, Aug 12.-According to in
formation published here today there
has been brought to light an extern
siye campaign conducted in secrecy
from the White House and other fed
eral offices in Washington in behalf OF
President Taft's candidacy for re-
election in 1912.
Charles ID. Hilles, secretary to Pres
ident Taft, and George c. Rankin who
is federal receiver, are said to have
sent out a large number of confiden-
tial letters in the nature of inquiries
concerning popular sentiment toward
the president and his administration.
In each letter sent out by Mr. Hill
les, upon White House stationary is
contained another communication
which in detail sets forth all the
claims for achievement and benefits
under Mr. Tafts regime.
The enclosure is a typewriter copy
of a letter sent by the presidents
secretary some time ago to Frank p.
MacLennan, of Topeka. Kas. This
document is looked upon as the first
political communication of the coming
political campaign and furnished the
basis for arguments to be made for
President Taft next year.
The text of secretary Hilles' letter
follows:
CONFIDENTIAL

My Dear Sir:
Il should be very glad to have you
write me your estimate upon the work

ed confidential, unless you are willing
that il later be utilized by some reput-
able newspaper engaged in an endeav-
or to sense the situation.
'I recently had occasion to write a
friend in Topeka and am taking the
liberty of inclosing copy of his letter
in order that you may have my
personal point of view.
Sincerely Yours,
