11 LI Chief Executive Was First to Join National Conservation Association. HE BEAT PINCHOT TO IT EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE BY OFFICERS OF CONSERVATION CONGRESS TO HAVE PRESIDENT ATTEND. (American News Service) St. Paul, Minn.. July 30. An interting light on President William II. Taft'a connection with the conservatlon movement develops in the fact that the records of the National Conservation association show that he is the original, member, hrvlng Joined before President Olfford Pinchot took office and while the venerable President Charles W. Kllot of Harvard was at Its head. He has, continuously maintained his membership and In point of the duration of his relation ' to the association, Is a pioneer. Of IIcers of the association feel that this connection will serve to persuade the president to make unusual efforts to so arrange his time as to be present fn St. Paul - during the coming congress and in the Northwest there is especial interest In the prospect of an address from the first member and on of the original conservationists. Commenting upon the slight confu sion of some of the delegates already appointed as to the fields of work of the conservation association ' and the conservation congress, Secretary Shlpp of the association, who is also executive secretary of the congress. aid: ' A Big Membership. ' '"The association la a permanent or sanitation,' having a membership of nearly 60,000 scattered through all of the different states.. Glfford Pinchot, former chief forester in its official head. It is organized along lines sim liar to those of most general associa tlons and deals with f conservation questions In their broad relations and a they affect the states, although purely state questions are within the purview of the various state commis sions. . "The conservation congress Is dif ferently organised, having a member ship of only- such delegates as attend but no permanent or fixed members. Its sessions are arranged bV an execu tlve committee' representing the association and the congress 'and its annual sessions are. open to all who come. Irrespective; of membership in the national association. The two or ganisations are separate and distinct, the congress being an annual meeting of men Interested in conservation and the association being an organisation of men who 'are members and main tain a permanent relationship. At the head of the congress is President Ber nard N. Baker. The conservation ' movement therefore has two official heads. President Pinchot of the asso ciation and, President Baker of the congress, each fulfilling separate and distinct duties." ' The local board of managers Is laying plans for an attendance of 15.000 delegates at the five day September conference. So great Is the flood of acceptances from the invitations Issued a month ago that plana are already being laid to entertain-one of the largest assemblages either St. Paul or Minneapolis baa ever seen. Commit tees have been named -to , prepare In advance for suitable hotel accommo dations and Information bureaus and other special facilities will be provided In anticipation of an attendance which will fill the two cities to over flowing. ORDER STEEL CARS This Class Cars Are Being Built In Great Numbers ; by Railroads. DEMANDED BY THE PUBLIC ' aaaaaaaaaaaaa . New York. July .-Steel cars are now being built In great numbers for the railroads of the country. Though the movement began only four or five years ago. it has proceeded so far that the end of the wooden car is now predicted. In his recent report to ths stockholders, the president of the largest manufacturing concern, mc American Car and Foundry company, nyi; " "In all the work of improvement of your plants, your management has had la mind the growing demand for steel In' preference to. wooden car production; and your company Is prepared for the time when cars of steel will entirely supersede those of wood." .The announcement in looa that steel cars exclusively would be used in the tunnels under the Hudson river was regarded as a rather sensational piece of railroad news, but It would be commonplace now. One after another, the Important lines are turning to the new style passenger equipment. The cost of a steel car Is fully 25 per cent more than that of a wooden car. but the demands of the traveling public, stimulated by the competition for passenger business, must be met. This Increase In expense Is merely one of the many that have to be faced by the railroads. ' Only a few days ago one of the largest trunk lines announced that it had riven orders for a "steel train d v raze. to run Between new lorn ana Chicago. The Pullman company ! ttrlng all Its new sleepers of steel, e&mt and asbestos, and these will C&xfly replace the old sleepers. '

Cattle Tuberculosis War is On in Earnest in District

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington. July 30. Probably no other area of territory In the United States has been more affected by the war against tuberculosis cattle than that section occupied by dairymen serving the District of Columbia with milk and other dairy products. This territory includes sections of the Virginias, Maryland and Delaware and from the herds ' of cows grazing in them, hundreds of animals found to be affected with tuberculosis have been taken and condemned in the past year. Not only does the farmer or dairyman living In these sections have the health department of the national capital to deal with, but also the department of agriculture, specifically the bureau of animal Industry which has been exceedingly active during the past twelve months. That the federal government should take such an Interest In the condition of the milk served at the tables In the district is due to. the fact that members of congress and government officials are generally Interested in the dairy products used by them and their families. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has given the crusade his personal attention to the crusade with the result that all laws governing the production of milk have been more rigidly enforced than ever. Then again, it seems to be the plan of the department to make the milk supply of the national capital a model for the authorities of other cities to pattern after. To have healthy cows supplying milk to the residents of the seat of federal government and to have those animals affectetd with disease treated according to law, is a great object lesson to the farmers and dairymen supplying milk to other communities throughout the country. In many Instances whole herds of cattle, apparently healthy, have been ordered killed. A score or more of dairymen have been compelled to give up the milk business on account of not being able to purchase cows that will meet the demands of the agricultural department and the health authorities of the district. On the other hand those at the head of the crusade contend that plenty of healthy cows can be bought in any part of the Virginias, .Maryland or Delaware, and regardless of the numerous complaints filed, they have' scrupulously continued-their work of carrying out the anti-tuberculosis law to the letter. The authorities have been attacked in numerous instances for their xeal-

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

New York, July 30. The breakdown of the speculative clique which' sought to link up a series of discontented lines Into a new transcontinental system, proved to be at the bottom of the collapse in values which occurred in Monday's and Tuesday's market. The taking over of these securities by a strong International banking syndicate unquestionably saved the market from a worse crash, and produced a radical change for the better In the technical situation. As soon as the facts became known liquidation ceased, and a sharp rebound followed which materially accelerated by a rush to cover outstanding shorts. The extreme pessimism bred by the mysterious declines of last week suddenly disappeared and the whole market displayed a better and more normal tone. Another consideration which imparted a better tone and checked the growing wave of pessimism was the report of the United States Steel Co., which showed handsome profits for the past quarter and a smaller falling off in orders on hand than was really anticipated. As the steel trade is still considered one of the best" industrial barometers, the effect of this report was naturally stimulating. The monetary situation shows further improvement. Local bank reBourses continue to rise and there 13 much less apprehension of severe monetary stringency during the coming fall than at one time existed. What with liquidation iu stocks and declining values in commodities and securities, money goes much further than six months ago, especially in view of the shrinkage in volume of business and speculation. The last statement of the national banks may nave been unsatisfactory owing to the small contraction In loans at the interior, but recently farmers have been marketing their crops more freely and liquidation from this and other sources will probably result in a much better showing for the interior banks when the next call Is issued. Gold imports continue on an increasing scale, and there is every indication that we will command all the precious metal that we need. Europe's heavy investments in our securities during the past six months more than offset the shrinkage in our foreign trade balance. The tendency in our foreign trade is towards improvement, because the decline in commodities puts us upon a more favorable export basis and tends to restrain importations. While some stringency may be anticipated during the crop season, there is much leas danger of a crisis in this respect than formerly. Should any of the bankers agree to form currency associations. that will be a further protection against a crisis, which in view of the Inability of the Government to assist the market in an emergency would seem to be a desirable- alternative. So one pretends that these associations are a final cure for the currency evils, but they would-at least prove an ef ficient palliative until genuine currency reform can be established. The crop outlook is not entirely satisfactory. The yield of wheat, cot ton and corn is liker? to fall below early calculations. The loss in wheat has already been amply discounted and la not serious. Much deteriora tion, however, has taken place in cotton, and the corn crop has likewise

ousness, and it has often been the contention of owners of cattle and lawyers that many animals killed as diseased were In reality healthier animals than those permitted to live. AH these allegations have been refuted, however, by the tuberculosis test which if It reacts means the death of-the animal tested, no matter what the pwner Or his attorney produces as evidence that the animal is not "infected. " Another feature of the crusade which has helped lend interest and zealousness to the fight against, animals

found to be infectetd with tuberculos is has been that the experimental station of the bureau of animal industry, which is located a few miles from Washington. Here healthy and diseas ed cows alike are tested to see what effect this or that kind of food, hay and grass or other edibles will have on them. Here, too, numerous other animals are kept in cages for experimental purposes. Milk taken from cows found to be infected with tuberculosis is fed to guinea pigs and rabbits. Then the little animals are watched closely to see if the disease develops. Not once during the past year according to officials at the experimental station have the small animals fed. the milk from riseased cows survived for more than several weeks. They develop the dislease almost immediately, showing le sions and gradually wasting away. In many of these cases the cows from which the milk is taken have been found to be in apparently good health with the exception that they reacted when tested with the tuberculosis serum. The guinea pigs after being killed or dying are dissected. By this process of dissection -some startling revelations have been made. In every case the lungs of the little creatures are found to be badly affected with the disease. Following close study by the medical authorities in charge the carcasses of the pigs and rabbits are preserved and kept as object lessons. In nearly every case where a cow is ordered killed and the owner makes protest he is requested to journey to the experimental station and Inspect the guinea pigs, and other animals to which the milk from animals affected with tuberculosis has been fed. When cows are condemned by the Inspectors they are sent to an abbatolr to be slaughtered. There they are appraised by three persons and the government to some extent reimbudses the dairyman for bis loss. lost ground to some extent Both of these'erops are still? in "danger of earljf' frosts, and disaster to "either, would under .present conditions have a very serious effect ; upon ; business. The country was urgently In need of . a large cotton crop, but the outlook is now for a 12,000,000 bale yield, which is below normal and means continued high prices for cotton. , The effect of this upon the domestic industry and upon the export trade must be taken into consideration. Our main nope regarding the crops still centers upon corn. Should this' prove a bumper yield It will do much towards offesetting any loss in wheat and cotton. The result, however, will be to leave tho agricultural situation spotty. 1 Some of oup farmers will enjoy another season of exceptional profits, while others must endure serious loss. , The business outlook Is mixed; both bright and doubtful in spots. A very conservative disposition exists among those who lead in both commercial

' - The E-M-F car is without doubt the best car on the market at the price. ' We have sold them to men who could pay $6,000 for a car, just as easy as the price of an E-M-F if they thought they were worth the difference, but they choose and bought the E-M-F.

and industrial affairs. Reaction had begun with, varying force in different Industries. - Values had been deciding, and it is generally recognized that industrial Interests of tiie country must face some readjustment. This process - Is unpleasant while it continues, but, will in the end leava both commerce and Industry upon a sounder and stronger basis. The reaction which began in stocks must extend more or less Into other divisions of business. In all probability the stock market has fully discounted and' industrial depression. This is so regarding the railroads at least, for tie latter having various resources always suffer less In business depression than individual industries. Moreover, the railroads are confidently looking forward to permission from the Interstate Commissioners to advance freight rates later on.
