PINCHOT AND BAKER TO HAVE CHARGE OF SEPTEMBER MEETING Expected to Be Largest Gathering Ever Held by Any National Organi-* zation. St. Paul, Minn., July 29—An in- teresting light on President William A. Taft’s connection with the conservation movement develops in the fact that the records of the National Conservation association show that he is the original mem- ber, having joined before President Gifford Pinchot took office and while the venerable President Charles W. Elliot of Harvard was at its head. He bhas continuously maintained his membership and in point of the duration of his relation to the association, is a pioneer. Officers of the association feel that this connection will serve to per- suade the president to -make un- usual efforts to so arrange his time as to be present in St. Paul during the coming congress and in the northwest there is special interest in I BIRTHS AND UE‘T“S iBIGI.EY WOMAN TRIED we were, this week, obliged to chro icle the death of Mrs. Jennie Knop ke, wife of Charles Knopke one of|. Be midji’s most prominent business men.and oldest citizens, whose sud- den death Tuesday morning was a shock to her many friends in this city, as she had apparently been in exceptionally good health lately. The furneral was held at the re dence, the corner of Fifth street and American avenue, yesterday after- noon, in charge of J. P. Lahr. The services were conducted by Rev. S, E. P. White, who delivered a very able and touching sermom, while sweet and appropriate music and songs were rendered by the choir. The casket was bedecked with floral offerings from friends of the deceased and bereaved ones, and from fraternal brders and organizations of which Mrs. Knopke had belonged or of which her husband, Charles Knopke, or her son, Happy Ander- son, now belong, among them .the Lady Maccabees, Samaritans and the Bemidji Band. Happy has been a member of the band ever since Bemidji was but a hamlet and Mrs. Knopke has always been an enthus- iastic booster. The lodges turned out in a body, as did also the band, in full uniform-but without instru- ments. The floral offering from the band boys, a“large harp, showed great talent and skill in its makeup, in which the sweet peas (ihe favor- ite flower of the deceased) played a Physician—Family Trouble the Cause. to ‘the - tent. was the cause of her act,’ ) el A ants, was fifty-nine.

Commenting upon the slight con. fusion of some of the delegates al- ready appointed as to the fields of work of the conservation association and the conservation congress, Sec- retary Shipp of the associatior, who), ic also executive secretary of the congress, said: - “The association isa permainent organization, having a membership of nearly 50,000 scattered through all the different states. Gifford Pin- chot, former chief forester, is its offi- cial head. Itis organized along lines similar to those of most general associations and deals with conser- | vation questions in their broad rel- ations and as they effect the states, although purely state questions are within the purview of the various state commissions. “The conservation congress is differently organized, having a membership of only such delegates as attend, but no permanent or fixed members, Its sessions dre arranged by an executive comittee, representing asscciation and the congress and its annual sessions are opento all who come, irrespect- ive of membership in the national association. The two organizations are separate and distinct, the con- gress being an annual meeting of of men interested in conservation and assciation being an organiza- tion of men who are members and maintain a permanent relationship. At the head of the congress 1s President Bernard N. Baker. The conservation movement therefore has two official heads, President Pinchot of the association and President Baker of the congress, each fulfilling separate and dis- tinct duties.” The local board of managers is laying plans for an attendance of 15,000 delegates at the five-da‘y September conference. So great is the flood of acceptances from the invita tions issued a month ago that plans are already being laid to entertain one of the largest assemblages either St. Paul or Minneapolis has ever seen. Committees have been named to prepare in advance for suitable hotel accomodations and informa- tion bureaus and other special facilities will be provided in antici- pation of an attendance which will fill the two cities to overflowirg. v Water Rents Due.

WHOLESALE GRAFT Ilinois Central Charged for Work Done in lts Own Shops. —Delayed Two Hours.. miles east of Cass Lake. 3:40. Chicago, July 29.—Harold A. Sims told a striking story of wholesale graft before Master in Chancery Roswell B. Mason in connection with the investi-| gation being made into the alleged $1,500,000 car repair fraud in the Illi- nois Central railroad. ~ Sims, former car inspector for the railroad and later in the employ of one of the five car repair companies charged with the fraud, declared that the Illinois Central was made to fur- nish not only materials but also labor for repairs and then was ,charged from one to two prices for the work through an elaborate system of padded bills.

His name was the only one presented and he was nominated by acclama- tion late last evening by the conven- tion assembled in Minneapolis. Mr. Lind’s’ nomination was the climax in an interesting and unusual series of political events and should The president, L. Jensen, and|he consent to remain on the ticket of the Clearwater County Fair association, have already started to collect an exhibit of grains, grassesand roots, he will make a campaign on a plat- form in which: county option, Mr. Lind’s cherished project, is not even mentioned.

Half the delegates rose to their feet yelling following the Jenswold speech, and their was an effort to make a demonstration. P. McDon- nel.of Duluth, rushed to the platform with the St. Louis county standard, but the other standards did not fol- Jow and the attempt fell flat. Moves to Adjourn. Dan W. Lawler of St. Paul next took the platform. He said: There is not a man in this convention who is not in favor of John Lind’s nomination and election. I pledge Ramsey county’s support to the nominee whoever he is. If John Lind accepts this nomination I am willing to stump the state for him, but I stand with that grand old veteran of democracy, F. G. Winston. We have uo right to wreck the democnnc party of Minnesota. If the convention adjourns and John Lind does not accept, no self-re- specting Democrat can take the nomination from’the state central committee. I move that a committee of three be appointed to telegraph to Portland and learn whether Mr. Lind will'accept the nomination and| that this convention adjourn ull 8p. m” P. J. Knox of Jackson said that Mr. Lawler two years ago insisted on John A. Johnson’s nomination and never asked for a committee. J. M. Freemafi of Olivia said: “Strange elements have been at work to defeat the will of democracy. Out- side of Minneapolis and St. Paul we do not hear any dissenting voice, John Lind is too good a Democrat and too good a citizen not to re. spond to the call of democracy:” Nomination Is Unanimous. Motion was made to lay Mr. Law- ler’s motion on the table and this was carried by an overwhelming vote. The vote was then taken on making the nomination of John Lind unanimous. This was adopted by a thunderous vote.
