VENING WANTS GOVERNORS TO PROD CONGRESS Glenn of North Carolina Makes Hit of Morning Session at Natu ral Resources Conference Today When He Pots in Strong Plea forProtection of Forests of United States. WANTS RESOLUTION Demanding Immediate Steps By National Legislators to Pre serve Timber Supply -Forceful and Earnest Presentation of Need for Concerted Action Received With Cheers (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, May 14 I'When the Civil War closed 'you .of .the north told us that we were brothers. You said that if we wanted anything to -.-come to you and we would get it. The very first time we have come to you to assist us In preserving a great industry we are rebuffed." This statement, made by Gov. Robert B. Glenn, of North Carolina, at the conference at the white house, brought down round after round of applause from governors from all parts of the United States. Gov. Glenn's statement was made in the course of an impromptu address in which he followed the lines of President Roosevelt y esterday In condemning congress for its inactivity. "We have come here year after year," said Gov. Glenn, "and asked that something be done to regulate the industry of interstate forestry. We can regulate intrastate forestry, but we cannot regulate the inter state industry, and every time we co:;:e to our representatives, our servants, in congress they say 'Waft until next session." That is the answer we have been getting for years. Speaker Cannon said at the banquet last night that the way to handle the matter was by means of confederation in the various states. 1 cannot speak for Maine or Massa chusetts or New York, but I can say that we of the south tried confed eration once and it did not pay. We don't want confederation in this matter. We.jflant concerted action by the entire nation, and if congress will pass a bill, great good will result. V "I ask you governors from all parts of the union to adopt a resolution at (his conference demanding that congress pass now at this session, short as it is a law looking to the preservation of our forests." The forcible manner in which Gov. Glenn dealt with the question was greeted with cheers. President Roosevelt called the conference to order shortly after 10 o'clock and remained in the east room during the greater part of James .1. Hill's address. When he left he called Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, to the chair and announced at the same time that Gov. Dineen, of Illinois, would preside during the afternoon sessiou. The conference broke away from the cut-and-dried program today and governors and delegates dis played their Interest In the subject under discussion by asking questions of the speakers, CASHIER OF DANK First Estimate of Montgom - ery's Stealings Was $100,000 too Low (By Leased Wire to The Times) Pittsburg, Pa., May 14 Another 1100,000 has been added to the de falcations charged to William Mont gomery, formely cashier of the Alle gheny National bank.

He was taken to the office of Clarence Burleigh, who has been re tained as special attorney for the bank during the present trouble, and there for several hours he was put through another examination. While no statement would be made aa to what Information Montgomery gave, it Is Intimated he made some start ling revelations, which will unques tionably result In the arrest of others. Almost all the money stolen was by means of spurious notes. It is now declared almost every penny Mont gomery Is said to have taken was lost In stock transactions.

There is go ing to be a fine row over the estate of "The" Allen, the notorious pool room keeper, who died Tuesday.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Laporte, Ind., May 14 The sud den determination of Sheriff Smutzer to resume digging on the farm of Mrs. Gunness today is taken by many to mean he has information not made public as lo bodies not yet, uncov ered. ' It is known that authorities from various sources have gathered evi dence proving the association of va rious persons.. with' Mrs. Gunness. Among those whose bodies are being sought by relatives are: . .1. H. Jenkins, of Corapolis, Pa.; a young woman, name not given, who disappeared from Binghamton, N Y.p Easter Sunday; Emile Tell, of Kansas City; a Swede who left La porte with $2,000 a year ago; and James Kane, of Tunuell, Chenango county, N. Y., who left with f 2,000 to answer a matrimonial advertise ment, saying he was likely to marry a widow near Chicago.

Horne, a son of the candidate, is also in the city looking after his father's interests. He will leave to day for another county. The hottest fight, however. Is be tween Solicitor Brooks and Senator Holt for the congressional nomina tion. The very atmosphere about these candidates is heavily charged with combustibles. Holt says there Is a nigger in the woodpile behind the records in the county court house. Brooks says that any man who Impeaches his integrity and honesty he will prove to be a slan derer and a liar. For several weeks the contest be tween these two candidates has been growing from warm to hot. The bitterness started when Senator Holt addressed a letter to Solicitor Brooks, saying he was constrained to make1 certain charges of corrup tion in connection with the amount the solicitor had received as fees In scl. fa. cases and in cases of fines and bond forfeitures. Before mak ing the charges Senator Holt wanted to give the solicitor an opportunity to be heard. The solicitor Issued a defiant reply, told the senator to crack his whip and proceed with his charges as far as he liked. Holt made his charges; they have been discussed in the newspapers and on the stump, all the while the bitter ( Continued on Page Seven.)

C, correspondent sends the following;; a ceo u lit of yesterday's trials of the Wright brothers' aero plane: ; "With the ease and swiftness of a huge eagle, the Wright brothers aero plane made a flight of three miles, circling about, the great sandhills, at times skimming along over the sur face, "dipping down, rising, turning corners, landing within a few yards of the starting-point. The three-mile voyage was ac complished in a little more than three minutes, and. the aeroplane carried both inventors. , There Is no longer any ground for questioning the performance of the men and their wonderful machine. Yesterday's flights were observed by a group of men congregated in the woods within a mile of their starting point, and by another group of disin terested men who watched them through powerful glasses from a nearby point. The performance, while 'not equal to hundreds of flights the Wright brothers have niade, will place them on a new footing before the world, because it. was the first time that a considerable number of disinterested outsiders' had ever seen them in any flights and doing what they have told .others they could do. .

CITIZENS OF NEVY YORK Willing to Aid District Attorney Not Fit for Freedom. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, May ,14 When Harry K. Thaw's fight to be freed from the insane asylum began today before Supreme Court Justice ' Morchauser, at Poughkeepsie. District-Attorney Jerome was prepared, in the event of Thaw's release, to have him immedi ately rearrested and taken before an insanity commission. The district-attorney has found kink in the legal procedure through which Thaw, if liberated, can be re arrested in this way indefinitely on warrants sworn out each time by a citizen who is willing to swear he believes Thaw insane and a menace to the community. . When Thaw's lawyers began his fight to be liberated from the Matte awan state asylum for the criminal insane today, however, it became plain that the present procedure would last at least several weeks. Under Justice Morschauser'a de cision when Thaw was brought to Poughkeepsie from Matteawan under the writ of habeas corpus secured by his attorneys, only the first part of the insanity trial will take place at Poughkeepsie, : Thaw's side of the case will be heard there. The dis trict attorney's light to prevent Thaw's liberation will be shifted to New York at once. The largest courtroom in the coun ty courthouse at Poughkeepsie was found necessary today, so great was the number of requests for admis sion. District-Attorney Mack, of Duchess county, under whose charge the fight against Thaw's liberation is nominally being fought, had to issue cards of admission to the courtroom. The trial room was packed with men and women. The room comfort ably seats 250, but every foot of standing-room was occupied, as well as the seats. There were nearly 600 people in the court-room when Jus tice Morsechauser opened court. By a curious development, when Thaw today faced the jury box, he was confronted by a Bcore of news paper men. The court attaches had placed desks In the Jury box for the reporters and it seemed as if this time, the third that Thaw has faced a court, the Jury was to be composed of newspaper men. James G. Graham, former secre tary to Gov. Benjamien B. Odell and a former deptuy attorney-general, was chief counsel for Thaw, aided by A. Russell Peabody, who has been among Thaw's attorneys since the killing of Stanford White. Never Convicted of Any Crime One Argument of Defendant. District-Attorneys Mack and Je rome and Asistant District-Attorney Garvan were in court to oppose the arguments of Thaw's lawyers. The Thaw attoiteys were prepared with two lines of procedure that Thaw, in the first place, had been illegally committed to Matteawan and, sec ondly, that, even if he were legally incarcerated, he Is no longer insane. They decided to present their argu ments for his liberation on the first ground first. Thaw, through his lawyers, claims he was illegally committed to Mat teawan In that he was committed without an examination aB to his san ity. He also claims Matteawan is a penal Institution and that he has not been convicted of any crime. Nor is i
