PINCHOT'S TEARS FLOW AS HE UTTERS HIS THANKS Secretary Wilton and President Flnlcy Were Two of Today's Speakers at the Conservation Congress. . ST. PAUL. Sept. 7. The two op . posing ideas of conserving the national resources mets fairly and squarely today when Senator Bev eridge in an address declared for na tional control, while James J. Hill argued the" contrary. Gifford' Pinchot received an ovation that furnished the most dramatic mo ment of the congress. The former forester, tears streaming from his eyes, stood until the outburst of cheers had subsided and the specta tore resumed their seats. ' Just what Senator Beverldgo was trying to gay complimentary to Pin chot was drowned in a roar that rose the moment the trend of his remark became apparent. "Olfford Pinchot," Mid the speaker, and the outburst started. It grew until everyone was landing up. yelling and waiving hats nd handkerchiefs. Senator Beverldge had no sooner retired than cries of "Pinchot, Pin chot," rang through the house. He wan dragged forward by President Baker. His voice shook as he spoka. "It is magnificent," he said, "to hear the sound policies of conservation ac claimed as has been done today. Con servation has wen out I thank you." Mr. Hill's Idea.

IV ks corns Into that peril which no . great truth escapes the danger that lurk In the house of Its friends. It hu been used to forward that serious error of policy, the extension of the sowers and activities of the national invernment at the expense of those of the states. The time la ripe and this occasion Is most fitting for distinguish ing between real and fanciful conser vation, and for establishing a sound relation of means to ends," said Mr. Hill. Senator Bcvertdge. : Raid Senator Bevcrldge: "The United States IS. ,The Ameri can people are a Nation not 4 na tions. In war we fight under one flag for our common safety; In peace let us trlve under one Baa for our common welfare. ; .- "All of this waste and robbery of the people's wealth, must be stopped. No ancient and provincial Interpreta tion of states' rights must prevent the enforcement or the people's rights. No special plea for hasty local devel opment must hinder healthy general development No temporary state pol itics compelled by the wealthy few must impair permanent national statesmanship for the general good of II." "The Interest of the railways of the South In conservation and the Interest of the people of the South In conser vation are Identical," said President Flnley of the Southern Railway, ad drewlng the Conservation Congress today. "I will go further." continued Mr. Flnley, "and state my unqualified conviction that any economic or gov ernmental policy that la. In the- last nalysls. to the best Interest of the Pople of any community la to the best Interest of the railways by which that community' Is served. Conversely, my tonvlctlon Is equally strong that any economic or governmental policy that narmrui to the railway Is harmful to the communities served by them." Therefore, Mr. President, In all mat I say on the toplo assigned to me --"the Interest of the railways of ths Smith In conservation" I must be un derstood as presenting what I believe o be the Interest of the Southern people. Conservation as "Wise Use." 'I sm not sure that the expression, conservation of national resources' Is everywhere understood In Its broadest "ie. I think that to some minds It conveys only the narrow Idea Of the withdrawal from present use of some part of those resources.

Jefferson City, Mo., Sept, 7. Spe cial Commissioner Theodore Brace in his report to the Supreme court In the ouster suit filed yesterday, declared the International Harvester company, of New Jersey, a trust and a combination formed for the purpose and with the effect of destroying competition In the manufacture and sale of harvesting machinery. The International Harvester com pany of America Is said to be used merely as a selling agent by the New Jersey company In evasion of the Mis souri laws which prohibit the licens ing of the New Jersey concern by rea son of Its enormous capital of $120, 000,000. The subsidiary corporation. according to Commissioner Brace, once had capital anj now has none. Its existence as a separate corporate entity is a mere fiction to evade the laws of states whose policy Is not to encourage such vast accumulation of wealth and power In the hands of a few as may Injure the welfare and prosperity of the many. For the first five years the sales of the company in the United States amounted to nearly 1200,000.000. In his conclusions, the commissioner says he finds "that the International Harvester company of America It maintained b- New Jersey corpo. ration as V te corporate entity for the sole purpose of making sales of Its products, and for that purpose it obtained a license to do business In evasion of the lam- which preclude the International Harvester company of New Jersey from obtaining a li cense and by means thereof ha se cured a practical monopoly In mower and power to secure a further mon opoly in th sale of agricultural tools.

"It is possible that I have misun derstood the article," stated Mayor Seidel; "but inasmuch as I am a so cialist and as he has designated social- Ism as a thing which Is 'against mor als and religion,' 'abhorrent,' 'revolt ing,' 'which would replace family and home life by a glorious state of free lunch counter and state foundling asylum.' I am sure that' he will be pleased that I am not personally con nected ' with hi . reception . In the ' city." Z - j ' Charging the colonel "with, a cun ning and deliberate purpose to create false Impression," he declared that the visitor "could lay no claim to the right of preaching morality or re ligion or civic righteousness."
