Mr.. A. E. Bowen, whose aspirations
to carve his name on the scroll Of
fame as governor of North Dakota
were 50 rudely shattered by the
marked expression Of disapproval Of
the public at the recent election, ad-
dressed representative gathering Of
local Socialists on Monday. Even the
rival ball mines ceased their gambols,
lest the august assemblage be dis
turbed "a consideration, by the way,
not extended those who would tell Of .
future state) and listened with rapt
attention in the vain hope Of learning
even faint conception Of the Para
disc here on earth, which the ballot
box under Socialism will ensure. Mr..
Bowen is an entertaining talker,
pleased with . supreme confidence in
his own opinion, an aptitude for men,

ture, and forceable method Of belit-
Ting the intellectual capacity Of all,

cordance with his. Fools and mug
wumps there were many, but the
most opprobious term he could apply
was crudely wrapped in the phrase,

phasized by the continual grooming
Of his lengthy yet immaculate locks,

One is Perpetual Progress and the

600 for continuing the investigation
of the committee on economy and eff

ization is provided for continuously
doing this kind of work under the

ion that the technique and procedure
OF every branch and Office Of the gov

painstaking examination as that given

made. To do this, however. Presi-

GREAT BATTLE
AHEAD. SAYS
PlNChOT

Washington, d. c., Jan S.-"One
of the great battles in the fight for
conservation is just ahead declared
Clifford Pinchot, in an address at the
annual meeting here today OF the
American forestry association. He
attacked a movement, which he said
was on foot to wipe out the old divid
ing line between state and national
action in conserving natural resour
ces and turn the natural forests oyer
to the states.
Behind the stalking horse of
states rights said Mr.. Pinchot,
there is preparing most danger
Gus attack on the whole policy of
conservation. 1t is an attack in which
men of high principle are fighting
side by side with men whose princi-
pies live in their pockets, and for
that reason it is doubly to be feared.
From the beginning, it was upon
the forest service that the burden Of
defending the conservation policy
chiefly lay said Mr.. Pinchot in con-
clusion. ut is on the firing line
now. Its defeat would mean the de-
feat of the whole policy of conserva-
ton"
The association concluded it's ses
sion with the election of officers.

He said African and Australian

ANOTHER CRISIS.
A copy of an appeal from the His
tCrical society was circulated. The
appea points out that the society is
facing financial crisis owing to the
failure of the last legislature to pro
vide funds and if the rooms are to
be kept open and the valuable collec-
ton properly arranged, the society
must get funds by increased member
ship or private donations. The appeal
states that these collections for over
twenty years have been the leading
attraction in bringing tourists to New
Mexico.

The Seryian government today de-

sea This action is regarded in all
quarters as a notable step in the di-
rection of peace.
SIR EDWARD GREY'S PROPOSAL.
Constantinople, Jan. S.-Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British foreign minis
ter. has submitted to the powers Il
proposal presenting Adrianople to
Turkey. according to statement
made today. The retention of the
city will be subject to the dismantling
of the fortitications and sundry eco
nomic restrictions. 1t is understood
that the proposal stands good chance
OF acceptance.
The state of mind both Of the Turk
ish army and the Turkish public pre-
cludes any weakness on the part OF
the Ottoman government in regard
to this question.
1t has been suggested that a naval
demonstration by the powers would
find the Turkish government and peo-
pie united in the firm determination
to cling to Adrianople, whatever
might be the cost.
Officials here are convinced that
Turkey would have arrived at a salts
factory understanding with the Balkan
allies if some of the European pow
ers had not stiffened their backs. They
claim that the Bulgarian emissary
who visited Constantinople in Decem-
Der practically agreed to the Turkish
standpoint.

The gale which drove the tanker

early today. There seemed little
chance that the life savers could
make their way ashore before it fell.
Bodies from the wreck, including that
of Captain johnson, who followed his

ashore at various points. Only that

The wreck lies half mile off North

has been caused among the Bulgarian
peace delegates by report that
Greek troops have been landed in the
vicinity of the port of Kavala on the
Aegean sea, and that a force of Greek
soldiers has been sent northward to
Drama.
DR.. S. Daneff, the chief Bulgarian
envoy, made prompt representations
to Premier Venizeles, Of Greece on
the subject.
The Bulgarians point out that the
Greeks have not the slightest right
to interfere in that district, which
was conquered solely by the Bulgar-
ians and that to send troops there,
after the Bulgarians had Withdrawn

GIGANTIC OPIUM
SUITS PENDING

San Francisco, Calf, Jan. S.--Un-
paid fines amounting to more than
100000 imposed on captains of opium
smuggling steamships, are still on
the governments books, pending a
decision of the United States circuit
court on the validity of a federal stat
ute century old. This came out to-
day in connection with the seizure
last night on the Pacific Mail liner
China OF opium valued at $9,450. I'm
der the statute, Captain Roger All
man is liable for the amount Of the
seizure.
The largest fine ever imposed un-
der the law making opium contraband
and placing it under the provisions
of the old statute, was $4,000 against
Captain Stevens of the Nippon
Maru. The only payment ever made
was 500, by the captain of the Mon
golia, who was in a hurry to get to
sea.

Washington, Jan. S.-President
Taft in special message to congress
today recommended the repeal OF
the act of congress which prohibited
for five years the killing of fur seals
on the Pribilof Islands, passed more
than a year ago. Investigation. the
president said, showed remarkable
increase in the size of the herd in
one season and proved conclusively
that only the female seals and the
bull" seals need protection and that
thousands of bachelor seals can be
killed each year without reducing the
herd.
