likely 70 SPLIT WITH TAFT.
President and Roosevelt Widely Apart
on Conservation.


on Conservation.
Washington, Aug. 4.-The fact that
President Taft has made square is
sue between himself on the one hand
and Theodore Roosevelt and Clifford
Pinchot on the other. is perhaps the
most important feature Of the recen,
Controller Bay message to the senate.
There is no escaping the conflict be-
tween these parties in the matter OF
Alaskan politics The president has
declared that Controller Bay should he
opened and that private interests
should have use of this harbor without
government restriction.
Colonel Roosevelt has said over his
own signature that Controller Bay
should be kept by the government as
public property and should not be CIV
en- away. whether to Richard S. Ryan
as an individual or Mr.. Ryan as the
representative of the Morgan Guggen-
helm syndicate.
Mr.. Pinchot, had of course, made the
same declaration. He came out both
before and after the message was sent
to congress in statements opposing the
presidents policy and sustaining the
interests which have been trying from
ministration.
More important than any Pinchot at
titude, however, insofar as political
consequences go, is the position taken
by the former president. The colonel
saws in a published article. over his
own signature:
Controller Bay, under actual condi-
lions, offers the only chance, or, at any
a
free outlet from the great Boring river
coal fields. It was the imperative duty
Of the government service to keep this
outlet free and not dispose Of 1t to any
individual or individuals. The govern
ment should have held this land In
perpetuity, permitting Its use by ar
Individual or corporation only under
conditions Nat would subserve the
general public interest
This is exactly what the president
did not do. It is exactly what the
president says was unnecessary. He
thought that the land should be thrown
open and that the government neet
not hold It in perpetuity in order tc
preserve the harbor IN the interest OF
all the people.
All this indicates that II there Is \
clash next year between the president
and the former president, as has Ions
been predicted, the cause for 1t will be
the conservation policy which Roose-
welt inaugurated and which the Taf'
administration has, in the Judgment OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's friends, discarded.
The people who prosecuted the Bal
linger Pinchot controversy were
Roosevelt followers. every man OF
them. Even the colonel himself lent
encouragement to their case and while
he did not come out In the open, 1t Is
common knowledge that he regarded II
all as his fight for HIS policy.
Now that the president has spoken
and made HIS position clear before the
country with regard to Alaska, the
next public utterance on the Alaska

nothing else, will drive Mr.. Taft and

which the president and his predeces

them to fall out completely before the

DER IN SEARCH FOR
CASH,
JACOB sHEPLER ESTATE
short SUM OF $1,000
ohsulsr Went 70 Buffalo With Amount
and Money Disappsars-court Orders
Dispositions Taken Of Persons Who
/ May Know Something Of Money
Other News Of the State.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 4.-For the pur-
pose Of ascertaining. If possible, where
$1,000 in cash that belonged to the late
Jacob Shepler has disappeared to. ap-
plication has been made to Judge
Wheeler In the probate division of the
district court for permission to take
dispositions Of two persons at Bunalo
n. Y. The two persons supposed to
have some knowledge Of the matter are
Mary e. Hill and Frank w. alderman
the latter being assistant cashier Of the
Fidelity Trust Company Of that city.
The application is made by Mrs
Smith. daughter OF Mr.. Shepler, and
executor Of the will that was filed
shortly after his death on June 3. 1910
1t seems, according to the story that
appears in the various filings and court
orders made in the estate. that Mr.
Shepler went to Buffalo In June. 1909
TO visit some "acquaintances." as 1t Is
put in one Of the papers on file.
The statement Is given that when ne
made the trip. he took with him the
sum Of $3.50, evidently adequate to
pay all his necessary expenses. but
that after he arrived there he drew
from the Union Savings bank at Dav-
export which was one Of the deposit
tories for his money. the sum of 1880
and yet he had only 1855 remaining
when the trip was completed.
No Answer to Inquiries.
Where did the surplus go? That is
the question that seems to be bother
ing the executrix. She declares that he
always did his banking when in Buff
falo with the Fidelity Trust Company
but that the officials OF that institu-
ton, as we'll as Mary E. Hill. who is
supposed to have some knowledge OF
the disposition Of the money, have
NEGLECTED and refused" to answer any
and all inquiries.
1t is because Of this failure to Sc
cure any satisfactory answers from the
people who she believes know all about
IT that Mrs. Smith now applies for the
appointment Of a commission to take
the dispositions in Buffalo regarding
their knowledge Of the matter.
At the time Of his death, Mr.. Shepler
lef. $4,000 on deposit in another Dav-
export bank. the Scott County Savings
Bank. and about $50 in cash. He left
a bequest In favor Of his sister, Mrs.
Josie Libby, Of San Francisco. of ST.

in-law, Adam L. Smith of Council
Bluffs. for like amount. These two
requests were to be paid from his es-
tate after his debts and funeral ex-
penses were paid, and the balance Of
his estate, according to the will, was
to be given to his stepdaughter. Mrs
Laura Smith Of Council Bluffs. who
was named as executrix Of the will in
the body Of that document.
