Questions of vital im- port to associations of sheepmen, indi- vidual raisers, the farmer and the live stock man are being discussed. An ef- fort is being made to reorganize the as- sociation, to transform it from a mere legislative bogy into a business asi ciation to protect and further the in- terests of its members. The reconstruction was the adoption of an amended constitu- tion admitting lesser organizations and to membership in the parent body. The general expression of sentiment is in favor of the sheepmen getting the matter upon a more thor- ough business basis, that they may be able 1o enjoy better success and be in a position to demand assistance when it may be needed begun with associations The condition of the range sheep in-| dustry and the infiuence upon it by the | exclusion of sheep from forest reserves was thoroughl discussed by repre-| sers from the ma- ates.

During the afternon resolutions were adopted asking Congress to pass the bill trans- ferring the executive control of reserves from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. To-morrow morning there will be a joint session of the wool growers and the National Live Stock Association, at which a welcome will be extended to the big convention on behalf of Ore- gon and Portland. § VATOR WARREN SPEAKS.

The crowded condition of public lands | and the encroachment upon ranges by Government forest reserves was refer- red to. The report stated that this con- dition had resulted in the last year in a large number of sheep raisers being | forced out of business, Just before adjournment for lunch- | eon Senator Wi President Roose and best wishes to the conven- rren announced that 21t had sent his greet- with prolonged applause. The afternoon session showed a larg- er attendance than the morning. The real business of the day was taken up when the committee on credentials re: ported and the constitution brought up for adoption. The only change of importance in the new docu- ment was in the membership clause admitting organizations of sheep rais- ers to membership in the Wool Grow- ers’ Association. The committee on cre- dentials revorted, recommending that the official roster of membership be the roll call of the convention, and that the representatives of the associations be &llowed the full vote 6f their asso- ciations. The report was adopted. When_the matter of the adoption of the constitution was put to a vote it was sustained unanimously. CONDITIONS ON RANGES. The attention of the convention was then directed to the condition of the range sheep industry’in the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, "Montana, Oregon, Washington . and Utah. Representative sheep raisers of .fhose States gave brief Teviews of the conditions in their respective States. These talks were devoted particularly to the public land question. The con- sensus of opinion was that the Gov- ernment in setting aside extensive ferest reserves for the purpose of aid” ing irrigation and Dbettering natural water ‘supplies was going to the e: treme and cutting down the ranges‘to | an unwarranted degree. The speakers asserted that the in- terests of the sheepmen are suffering and many are being forced out of busi- ness by the infringement on grazing | While they admitted the neces- | lands. sity of preserving the watersheds, they were of the opinion that this erid could be accomplished and the interests of the sheepmen be taken care of at the same time. The action of the railroads in leasing out pyblic land grants for use as range grounds was pointed out and it was argued that the Government could do likewise with profit to itself and to the inestimable benefit of the sheepmen. In a few words the expressed desire of the sheepmen is that the Government shall adopt a broader and more liberal plan in relation to public lands. The sheepmen want permission to use the subject to such regulations as the Government may see fit to adopt for the protection of the | forest reserves. These views on the public land policy that should be adopt- ed were given before the convention for the purpose of supplying information as to the desires of the wool growers to Professor Gifford Pinchott and F. H. Newell, President Roosevelt’s commis- sion appointed to consult with the stockmen on this matter. ‘Chese repre- eentatives of the Goverdment were present. PLANS FOR RELIEF. It was suggested that the relief esought by the sheepmen would'be at- tained could they secure the passage of the bill now pending in Congress transferring the executive control of public lands to the Department of Agri- culture from the Department of the In- terior, for the argument was that the former department knows the nature of the lands and would work in har- mony with the sheepmen. Professor Gifford, chief of the Bu- reau of Forestry, was introduced to the convention and explained the policy of the Government relative to public land that it is proposed to follow if the executive control of forest reserves is placed in the hands of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. He stated that the desires of the sheepmen as they have been exvressed during the con- veniion would influence the Govern- ment’s policy. The intention of the Government, he said, is to permit the Why wear a cumbersome plate that covers the roof of the mouth when you can have teeth without?

Dignified dinners, gay dances, giddy teas and serious weddings—there's always a tear in the joy at a wedding —keep the maids and matrons busy— aye, even to working overtime. Tired? They don’t look it, not one whit. Where could you find a bouquet of rosier, gayer girls than flocked— that's just the word, as they always appear in covies—into the Palace on Saturday afternoon after the mati- nee? Mrs. John D. Spreckels Jr. had entertained them at the Orpheum, after- ward taking them to the grill for lunch- eon. Among the radiant bunch were the bride-to-be, Miss Mabel Cluff, in whose honor the affair was given; Miss Helen de Young, Miss Constance de Young, Miss Helen Wagner, Miss Pearl Landers and Miss Ethel Hager. That was a stunning rig worn by Miss Hager—a short gray gown of some soft stuff with a silver gray, long-fibered coat., and a toque and muff to match. Those short gowns for dress affairs are portentous or the tendencies of the season. They may lack elegance, but they possess the adorable virtues of being sane and sanitary. . . . One of the most elaborate dinners of the season was given last night by Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Wilson at their home on Broadway. It was an- other of the multitudinous tokens of friepdship and congratulation that have been showered upon Miss Mabel Cluff and Jack Wilson. Surely they have been amply congratulated. And there are more coming. The decorations breathed beatific- ally of springtime—the season when nature does her wooing. Sweet aza- leas, the pink blooms of the Tamal- pais canyons, were uséd profusely and with refreshing splendor. Those - who toasted the health and happiness of the young people were: Mr. and Mrs. William Cluff, Mr. and Mrs. George Downey, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dutton, Mrs. Macfar- lane, Miss Bessie Wilson, Miss Pearl Landers, Miss Helen Wagner, Miss Helen de Young, Miss Constance de Young, Miss Jennie Blair, Miss Flor- ence Bailey, Miss Frances Harris, Miss Helen Pettigrew, Miss Kathryn Herrin, Miss Gertrude Campbell, Miss Gertrude Dutton, Edgar Mizner, Ed- ward M.

REPLIES TO FORAKER. Commenting on a statement in me‘ brief of Senator Foraker calling atien- | tion to the fact that it was President McKinley who jumped General Wood over hundreds of officers in the army, Senator Scott says: The evidence in this case quite clearly es tablishes the fact that he was appointed b cause of his supposed capacity as a civil Gov- ernor, and there is much to throw dbubt upon | the question of whether even his appointment | as a brigadier general was not regretted by | the President, and no ome will believe that | Mr. McKinley would ever think of promoting | him to a major gemeralship. certainly not in | the light of the present development. i The testimony of General James H. Wilson concerning the advancement of | General Wood is quoted at length, in- | cluding that portion which asserts that | General Wood was not in the battle | of San Juan. In reference to this the | review says: This statement of clearly the natural resentment that will ex-| jet if this great wrong is perpetrated upon the army of the United States by the confirm- ation of General Wood, and its Injurious effect must necessarily be very great, affecting as it does the ambitions of scores of young men, which must be nipped in the bud because of the youth of General Weod and the long time that he may remain at the head of the arm: WOOD AND THE. GAMBLERS. Referring to the conduct of General | Wood toward his superior officer, Gen- | eral Brooke, Senator Scott says that no impartial person caa. review the evidenee without reaching the conclu- | sion that the charge of disioyalty is | fully established. In reference to the support given by General Wood to gambling games | played in the Jai Alai Company’s “fron- | ton,” Senator Scott says it is shown by the testimony that General Wood was a habitual attendant of the game, | especially spending his Sundays there.‘ on which days the betting reached as high as $50,000. In closing his review Senator Scott] says: At the conclusion of the evidence of General Wilson, the junior Senator from Ohio, Mr. Hanna asked that General Wood be brought before the committee of this body having this investigation in charge, to the end that he might answer the allegations and accusations | made against him and relieve himseif from the unjust (as his friends claim to be the case) im- | putations and criticisms made against his | character, and quite a colloquy ensued, it be- ing claimed by some of his champigns that there was no reason for him to be heard: that | nothing had been proved against him: that | there was nothing for him to answer: in a | word, that he was self-vindicated. NOT ABOVE THE SENATE. This, 1 submit, was to me and must be to every one perfectly monstrous. When did it | come about that this individual, a doctor in | civil life and a bicodless soldier in battle, it he ever saw a battle, has reached the exaited position that he is unlike other people and is not to be accountable to any one, not even to the Senate of the United States, and will not even honor it with his presence. Now, for my part, I want to say that it is due to General , it is due to people of the United States, that he should mot only explain, but aisprove many stat s made in the evi- dence now here for consideration before con- firmation should be thought of. The fact that he is willing to let this investigation go on without personaily meeting it like a man is in itsel{ strong evidence, to my mind, that he is not made of material that goes to make up sol- diers such as we need for our major generals and chiefs of staff. Senator Scott comments on the evi- dence introduced tending to reflect di- rectly upon General Wood's character as a man by impeaching his integrity and veracity, and then, after summing up other charges, says: To my mind, a most grievous injustice has been done in the preferment of General Wood over a hundred or more old army officers—of- who won distinction on many blcody bat- tleflelds—battlefieids where more lives were lost and more prisoners taken in one day than dur- ing the entire Spanish-American war. r ad last night at St. Mary's, when the stun- ning Miss Sara Elizaheth Rattigan be- came the bride of Paul J.
