' Although he traveled four days to bo la St Paul SI hours and make his conservation speech, the president returned to BeveiQy holding It to be worth while. It.waaa a trip which left a very pleaaaat impression upon him. and he waa gratified that hla conservation speech met with such a generous approval. His next trip

Thla baa not been ' contemplated until he shows a desire to leave. Nothing Is known here of a rumor to the effect that the president contemplates motor trip Into Connecticut from which he would go serosa to St. James. L. I., to see Mayor Oaynor.

' It's all off but the shouting in the Southern League, with New Orleans the pennant winner. . , The New York Highlanders have developed two stars this season In Russell Ford and Bert Daniels. The Cincinnati team has a great bunch of base-stealera in Paskert, Lobe rt, Egan, Mitchell and Bescher. It is said that President W. H. Lucas, of the Northwestern League, will head the Virginia League next season. Pitcher "Cy" Young, of the Cleveland team, has lost more games than he has won so far during the present season. The New York, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and St Louis National League teams have each made a triple play this year. Meloan, the new . outfielder of the Chicago White Sox, continues to clout the ball and to do nice work in the field.' Danny Shay's Kansaa City team has made a great climb in. the American Association race and now has second place In sight Campbell is playing left field for the Parites Instead of Manager Fred Clarke. The latter says he will play no more this season. Benjamin Franklin Hunt the new pitcher of the Boston Red Sox, looks good enough to hold down a regular berth with the speed boys. The way they are going at present, the Washington outfit is liable to put a bad crimp In several American League teams before the close of the season. By giving the Pirates a bad beating on their home grounds, the Giants helped Chicago and putting Pittsburg out of the pennant bunt. With Brown and Cole for the Cubs and Bender and Coombs for the Athletics there should be some pretty classy pitching in the world's championship series. A new Pacific Coast League la the latest with Portland, Seattle. Tacoma and Spokane in the north, and San Francisco, Oakland. Los Angeles and Vernon In the south. Manager McGraw, of the Giants, would be easy picking for the Cubs. Better turn your money over three or seven times and take a good look at it before you play Sir John's tip. WITH THE FIGHTERS. Tommy Burns Is still talking: about return fight with Jack Johnson. Milwaukee promoters would like to stage the Wolgaat-McaFrland bout September 30. Ray Bronson has accepted the terms of Promoter Mcintosh for a series of bouts to take place in Australia. It Stanley Ketchel finds that he is all In aa a fighter after several months rest he will present the middleweight title to Hugo Kelly. A FAMOUS DOG DEAD Geneva, Sept 8. Barry III. the most famous dog in the world, the great St Bernard who has saved scores of lives on the Grand St Bernard pass, lost his life In aa avalanche after rescuing two persons lost la a storm, according to advices received here today. His body will be burled with simple but impressive services.
New Castle, Ind., Sept 8 The city council practically declared that Mayor Forkner shall bold police court whenever necessary, instead of on Monday alone, as has been the custom, when it adopted a resolution in which it Is stated that it is "the sense of the council members that the mayor hold court when necessary, as provided by the statutes." 'Mayor Forkner some time ago informed the council that when it decided he should hold court any day in the week his resignation was in their hands, and it is expected he will resign the position he now holds, that of first mayor of the city. Mayor Forkner says he can not and will not hold police court every day, as it requires
time that, taken from his legal prac tice would be of great loss. The council demands that he hold court, so the fees will go into the city treasury Instead of to justices of the peace, and facts were cited at the meeting of the council where the oity lost more than $800 this year by reason of trials being held before the Justices instead of the mayor. The mayor has held court on Monday morning and during the rest of the week cases have gone to the justices of the peace. The mayor's salary is $900 and members of the council say that when the salary was fixed at this figure it was with the understanding that he would hold court, and that the revenue would more than pay the salary. CONGRESS SLIMLY ATTENDED TODAY Conservation Delegates Too Busy Talking BallingerPinchot Matter. PROGRAM TODAY GOOD ONE ONE OF PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS WAS JOHN BARRETT, WHO DIS CUSSED THE PAN-AMERICAN CONSERVATION MOVE. (American News Service.) St Paul, Sept 8. More than twothirds of delegates to the national conservation congress stayed away from the convention thla morning. They were more interested in discussing among themselves the probabilities of the action of the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigating committee rather than in the speeches delivered. The speakers were Prof. Henry S. Graves of the department of agriculture; John Barrett director of the bureau of American republics; F. F. Westbrook and Dr. W. J. McGee. Barrett's Address. Mr. Barrett said in part: The holding in the near future of a great Pan-American conservation conference and the necessity of PanAmerican co-operation la the conservation movement are the principal suggestions of my discussion today. ExPresident Roosevelt in the last days of bis administration invited the nations of the world to an international conservation conference. The responses to this have been numerous. Possibly the time is not ripe for all the world to bo interested. The time, however, is at hand when the nations and peoples of the western hemisphere have auch kindred interests and so much of mutual advantage or loss at stake that there Is every reason to believe that a call for a Pan-American conference to Include every American country .from Canada to Chile would not only meet with ready response but be largely attended. Every American Country Interested The conservation of the natural resources of the other American conntries is of vital importance not only to their prosperity but to that of the United 8tates. It may not yet be possible to organise a successful interna, tional co-operative movement to include the whole world. It should, however, be possible to organise and set in motion without delay a Pan-American movement. Every, country of North and South America is la such a stage of 'development that conservation of natural resources means everything to Its future welfare. PORTO RICO STORM . (American News Service.) San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept 8 Advices received today from the interior indicate that probably a score of persons lost their lives and property damage running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars was done by the hurricane which swept the island and its waters Tuesday night and yesterday. It is feared that several small ships not included in the first reports of losses went down. , -
In regard to alleged unfair assessments of benefits and damages on the widening of West Fifth street from
National Road to the Indianapolis di vision of the Pennsylvania railroad, Charles Bell, whose property abuts on West Fifth, through his attorney, Henry U. Johnson, filed a remonstrance on the final assessment roll of benefits and damages at the meeting of the board of works today. Mr. Bell has lots extending from National road north to North West A street. By . widening the street several trees would be cut down, it is claimed and the street brought to witfiin nine feet of Mr. Bell's house. Damages of $300 and benefits of the same amount were assessed. He claims be is damaged $500 which would make the damages paid to him $200. The board will Investigate. "The board, while no doubt honest," said Mr. Johnson, "has had a tendency to be arbitrary on the assessment of benefits and damages in the past These have been assessed equal without any real calculation. I have been hoping for many years to get a client who has nerve enough to fight the board on this point" A Discouraging Board. Mr. Bell said the board never considered any protest but just did as it pleased any way and that it was "pretty discouraging to come before it" The matter was postponed until Monday, but it Is likely, regardless of the remonstrance, the road will be approved. Mr. Bell's property extends from National avenue to North West A street and from Fifth to Sixth streets. The board accepted the invitation of the Chautauqua , board to Investigate the condition of the park October 1, but will make an investigation on its "own hook" Friday, . Resolutions were confirmed for the vacation of an alley between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, extending from North E to the Pennsylvania railroad. The petition for the vacation was assigned by the American Seeding Machine company and the Seidel Buggy Company; also for the construction of a cement side walk on the east side of Fort Wayne avenue, from North D to North E street The final hearing on both of these resolutions was this morning but there were no remonstrators. The side walk on Ft Wayne avenue is badly needed, it is claimed, Permission was granted Fred Rainier, a druggist of South Eighth and E streets, to build a cement side walk around his place of business, a new block recently completed. The matter has been investigated by the board because members were opposed to making "small dabs" of Improvements. It was found in case a resolution for the entire block to be improved with side walk a remonstrance was certain. The walk is brick 'and in fair condition, it is cj aimed. , , Proof. Do you believe, doctor, tbat man is made of dust?' asked the student. t dou't know about man." returned the professor, "but I am sure girls are they make sucb a dickens of a lot of trouble when they get in a fellow's eye."

Trained cheetahs are used in Persia and India in much the same manner that hounds are used in European and North American countries. The game they are used to hunt Is principally deer and antelope. The cheetah is an animal with black and brown spots resembling a leopard, but longer in body and limb. The Indian princes keep packs of them for the bunt The heads of the bunting cheetahs are usually covered with a hood until within 200 yards of the game. The hoods are then removed, and the animals creep stealthily toward the herd and. having PPJ$acbed near an possible, pounce upon their prey, killing with one blow of the paw. Popular Mechanics.
