President Of Conservation Congress
Says He Has Not Reached
Parting of the WAYS.

Charles Lathrop- Pack, who unani-
mously was reelected president of the
National Conservation Congress, yes
terday denied having said that he had
come to the parting of the ways with
Clifford Pinchot. as was reported. Mr..
Pack was quoted as having made such
a statement to Pinchot yesterday.
Mr. Packs statement Is as follows:
What did say to Mr.. Pinchot was
this: Clifford, have worked with you
for ten years, and have been your
friend. You can't drive me away from
you now. even though / think II Is a
grave mistake OF judgment for you to
bring this question UP at this time.
The congress already has acted favor
ably upon the unanimous recommenda-
tions Of the water power committee.
and most of the members of the COM
mittees and a majority of the delegates
interested in water power have gone
home believing the water power SUBJ
ject finally disposed OF. To force q
vote by a minority of the delegates
would be unfair to these people, and
might ALLEVIATE many men who have
shown themselves true friends OF the
cause of conservation
Il have been interested in conserva-
tion all my life, and am not through
as my friends know. am a friend
Of Giffords, and I differ with him only
as to the manner of treating the SUBJ
tect and the absent delegates"

MANY BIDS TO BE OFFERED.
Competition Brisk Over New Central
High school Building.

An unusual number of firms have in
dicated to the Commissioners an inten-
ton to consider the submission of bids
for the construction of Washington's s
new Central High School building. which
is to cost sl.200.00o. Fourty-four sets of
specifications of the building have been
sent to prospective bidders. Bids are
to be opened December Is.
Before the opening of the bids. the
Commissioners will make their report to
Congress, expressing their views as to
whether 1t is more advisable to build
individual schools in various sections
of the city rather than a large central
high school. It is believed that the
present Commissioners favor a better
distribution of schools than is possible
in the construction of large buildings
Auditor Tweedale has submitted an
opinion to the board that the appropria-
ton for the Central High School can
not be used for construction two small
er buildings without special authorize
ton of Congress. The proposed building
has a capacity OF $500 pupils, and the
plans for it have been prepared at a
cost of $1,000.

to declare that it was pulled from the
bay by Mr.. Leahy.

He entered in a bold and sprightly
manner and, without hesitation or
haste, opened the cash drawer and
jauntily inspected Its contents. He
did not seem in the least surprised
when a head appeared above the top
OF big screen in the rear of the store
and a startled feminine voice gasped:
well, of all things!" In fact. he
merely looked up and grinned and
calmly proceeded to transfer all the
cash in the drawer to his pockets.

Pathos in the Comedy Of Actors at Hobo Benefit

Harry Wilson, whose voice has won
him fame throughout hoboland, was
greeted with shouts as he walked onto
the poorly lighted stage. He recited
the old. old Face on the Barroom
Floor" And there we're no shouts
when he finished. Begrimed hands
rubbed equally begrimed faces and a
few torn bandannas appeared.
The gloom was made even more
gloomy and shudder went through
the audience as he encored with
"The Dope Ffend."
Then came two more "jolly knights
Of the road" whose offering was any
thing but laugh-starting. Upon accor-
dion and guitar they played my Old

Somebody started singing This
was the song:
You will eat. by and by.

Work and pray. live on hay.
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
