PRESIDENT KHOWS HE HASJFIGHT Oil He Will Leave No Stones Unturned to Grasp the Nomination Prize.

BY JONATHAN WINFIiSLD. WASHINOTON, Sept Preildent Taft knows he will hare to fight for renomlnatlon, and he will leave no tones unturned to grasp the prize. An Instance of this, la found In the announcement from headquarters of the National Conservation association that the President will address the congress in Kansas City this month, September. There will be a large attendance of conservationists from every part- of the United , States farmers, ranch owners, timber owners, and others. The president will have a great oppor tnnlty to show his hand, to ease the rough road of tariff revision, to launch Ills arrows of bitter denunciation of the Insurgents and progressives and Xp nrge the co-operation and support of the delegates in pulling through the policies on the Taft administration In the coming Important session of congress. Strikes on the Head.. In accepting the invitation to address the congress. President Taft truck the nail on the head. The acceptance was so timely as to make it coincident with the inauguration of his hand-to-hand warfare against t!e Insurgent leaders, started several weeks ago. It is expected that President Taft will use this opportunity to defend his action in the Controller Bay matter nd hla policies of conservation, which differ from those advocated by Glfford plnchot,' President of the congress, and enemy of Former Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Balllnger, who was a member of Taft's cabinet. The gathering will bring together much Presidential timber, although it la a congress or practical conservationists. The farming element will predominate, and the agricultural enthusiasts are expected to be well represented. It is to this class that the President will appeal in what la expected to be one of the most sensational speeches he has yet made. V Secretary of Interior Fisher, who is now In Alaska on an inspection tour, has been hurriedly summoned to attend the congress. He will be there

with first, hand information concerning all the charges that have been made against the Taft administration of affairs in Alaska. He is expected to address the congress on the conservation policy of the Taft administration in the territory. Fiaher la a Factor. ' A His words, It la expected, will have a deep significance, almost as much as the address that to be made by President Taft. 7 Fisher has always been an enthusiastic' conservationist, a red-hot supporter of the Pinchot policies. He still is, but at the same time he is an enthusiastic supporter of President Taft. and haa done much to foster a relationship between the Pinchot conservationists and the Taft

supporters. ,; President Taft and Secretary Fisher have arranged a conference at Kansas City on Alaskan affairs with special reference to the resumption of the Controller Bay inquiry. If Mr. Taft devotes hla address in - an effort to deliver a blow to the Inquiry that is being made by a congressional committee Into the Controller Bay matter, it will result In a big fight. It Is thought. In the convention. Aa Plnchot and Roosevelt have committed themselves to public and unqualified denunciations of the administration's dealings, in the Controller Bay affair, it is expected that President. Taft will utilize his opportunity to reply to his critics in no uncertain terms. His remarks will - be timely, for at about the time that the President addresses the congress, the 'Con.troller Bay hearinga will be resumed la Washington. The k President will 'not only answer

Ala critics, but will, it Is said force the lasue. He will have the opportunity of using fresh material gathered by hit cabinet officer, Secretary Fisher, for the first time, and may denounce as a "conspiracy" the whole Controller Bay Inquiry and the charges back of It. By these tactics he knay sweep the convention off its feet, and sieie from the grasp of Pinchot an Indorsement that would be of the greatest political significance. - It the President's speech ' should turn out to be a defense of the Alaska natter. It can readily be seen that his address may take away from those who are condemning his policies their thunder. It would come at a time when the President needs all the opportunity he can possibly get to spread broadcast the defense of his actions. Among the Presidential possibilities who are expected to attend the convention are Taft. Woodrow Wilson, Judson Harmon. Joseph W. Folk. James R. Garfield, and Governor Marshall, of Indiana. Whether Colonel Roosevelt will appear is not yet certain. Dr. Harvey, W, Wiley, wUl be there, as will Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.

WHO TOOK THE COAL From a School, Howarth Would Like to Know.

How the coal was stolen, who did the work and when,, is not known, although the trustee says that he expects to ascertain the idently of the guilty paries and prosecue them. The coal was stolen during the past thirty days. It was In a wool shed to the rear of the school building and was "left over" .from last winter's supply.

BABE DIES III ARMS Of Foster Mother as She Was Leaving Train. While passing through this city on Pennsylvania train No. 19, shortly after noon Thursday, the foster child of Mrs. Margaret Brown, of Lowell Ariz., was attacked with cholera infantum. When the train reached Logansport, the mother decided that it was compulsory to take the babe to a physician, : and as she stepped from the coach the tbree-months'-old infant died in her arms. As the illness was not thought serious the child was not taken to a physician here. Such is the summary of one of the most unusual and pitiful incidents

with which local railroaders have wit

nessed. The child, who as the foster mother informed them, was nameless

and homeless, probably .hundreds of

miles from parents, whose names are unknown, was buried in the potter's field at Mt. Hope, near Logansport. The body of the infant was abandoned by the foster mother, who through force of circumstances was obliged to leave it to be buried by public charity, while she continued her journey. The woman was traveling 'to Chicago, before returning to her Arizona home. When the baby was attacked with

the illness the foster) mother was at a loss, to know what to do. The train crew vai appealed to and it was arranged to stop at Logansport where the child could be taken to a physician. The distance to that city was too great, however, and the child died on

arrival there.

Mrs. Brown was in despair and the Infant, while not her own, was one to

which4 she said she was becoming attached.. She was not financially able

to, ship the body on to her home, so she waa forced to leave it even before arrangements could be made for the funeral.

STORM IS RAISED BY ASTDR WEODIHG Minister Who Performed the Ceremony Must Bear the Brunt of It.

(National News Association) PROVIDENCE, R. I, Sept 9. The Rev. Joseph Lambert, who performed the Astor wedding ceremony, returned from Newport this afternoon. He was informed of tbe storm of comment caused by tbe fact that be officiated at this marriage. "I have, nothing , to say now," remarked Mr. Lambert. "I will wait to see what the papers say, and then I may reply. Congregational church circles of this city are greatly stirred over the an

nouncement that Mr. Lambert tied the

wedding knot. Mrs. Lambert, the wife

of the minister, has fled from her

home to escape, the army of reporters

who are besieging her doors and ring

ing hereon the telephone. Henry w. Purrington, treasurer of the Elmwood

Temple church, said, "I don't know

what may come of the affair, but I would not want to be Mr. Lambert. I

cannot imagine what made him do it,

unless it was tne money.

The Rev. Edw'n Straight, the "car

penter preacher," who went to New

port last night to be In readiness to perform the ceremony, is chagrined over what he declares was bad treat

ment. He arrived home at noon. He

had been at Newport all night, stay

I "I am pained and distressed over the

treatmen accorded me. I shall have something to sajr later. I feel that I have been made a catspaw. I am too tired now to talk."
