(By Leased Wire to The Times) ' Spokane, Wash., Aug. 10 The ft- - tercet, of the delegates to the National Irrigation Congress centered in Glf- : ford Pinchot, head of the United States Forestry Bureau today" and Mr. Pinchot was vehement in stating his opinion of the land laws and their interpretation by certain lawyers. There was a keen feeling of ex pectancy also oyer the proposed reso lution criticising Secretary Ballinger, of the Department of the Interior, whose attitude towards Government Forester Pinchot has been far from friendly. - - ,'The; speakers, today filled the pro iram with.a long list of prominent names and men eminent In affairs v were gathered from Both the east and west for the ' enlightenment of the ' chafnplons of Irrigation improvement. i' The speakers . today were:' Mr. A Pinchot, K.

Har ris, Chicago; Samnel Hill,) president of the Washington good roads asso ciation; Samuel Lancaster, highway expert. . Mr. Pinchot was- anions the first speakers. His speech was as follows: Home-Bidding for the Nation. The most valuable citizen 6X this or any other country is the man who owns the land from which he makes his living. No other man has such a stake in this country. No other man lends such steadiness and stability to our national life. Therefore, no other question concerns us more intimate' . lv. than the Question of homes. Per manent homes for ourselves, our chil dren, and our nation this is the cen tral problem. The policy of the na tionat irrigation Is of value to the United States In very many ways, but the . greatest of alt Is this, that na tional . Irrigation multiplies the men who' own the land from which they make tnelr living. The old saying, ' Whoever heard of a man shoulder ing bis gun to Tight for his boarding house,", reflects this great truth, that no man Is so 'ready to defend his country, not only with arms, but with hivots, and hi contribution to pub lic opinion as the man with a perma nent ttake In ft, as the man who owns the land from which be makes . bis .living. " ' -::v: .Our country began as a nation of farmers. During the - periods 'that gave It Its character when our inde pendence - was won ' and. when our union was , preserved, ; we were pre eminently a nation of farmers. We cannot, and we ought not, to con tlnue exclusively, or even chiefly,' an agricultural country, . because r one man can raise food enough for many.

The mysterious' woman ,is .described as being tall, wearing a -pink dress and "acting wild' The girl and the woman were seen in the cemetery late Saturday, the day Miss Schumacher disappeared, and the woman in pink was observed to leave the grave-yurdi alone about 7 o'clock.. At present there is no clue to her identity. The slayer, however, is believed to be a man employed In the cemetery. or at St. Bernard's Seminary, and to day a posse of police and citizens, headed by Chief- of Pollfe Quigley, having formed a cordon around the woods adjoining J.he cemetery, be gan beating the underbrush where he was known to be hiding. It was confidently expected his capture would be effected within a few hours. The slayer, , unable to control the fatal fascination which leads most murderers back to the scene of their crime, returned to the edge of the cemetery-Just as the girl's body was being taken from the rude grave. His face was seen peering through the underbrush by one of the searchers The latter Immediately drew his re- volver and cried, "Halt, or I'll fire." The man -darted back and dodging from tree to tree, succeeded In elud ing bis pursuers.-, ' ;,r Word was, at once sent to police headquarters and Chief Quigley hur ried a posse'bn,' bicycles and in auto mobiles to the scene,'; .The slayer ap parently had no chance to escape from the thicket and the police sur rounded the woods. . The search fov- the man was kept up until dark, and then an all-night vigil was main' talned, the police and citizens closing their lines, making it utterly lmpoa sible for. a living thing to pass through without detection.

AN MEETING READING OF THE LETTERS IIELP5 MOTHER'S CASE , h- J Some of the Charges Bitter But Create Sympathy for Mrs. Sutton MYSTERY OF LETTERS Manner in Which the Judge Advocate secured Confidential Letter. Writ Friend Itemulns, as Yet, i Unex plained Schvrarta Told Mrs . Sut ton Recently That Ho Had De stroyed the Letters Guard Book, (Containing Record of Patrols on the Night Sutton Was Killed Has Been 'Misplaced", According to the ' Opening Statement of the Judge Xdvocate Attorney Davis Says He Has a Witness to Clear Up" the Guard Book Mystery. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Annapolis, Md., Aug. 10 When the Sutton inquiry was resumed to day the general Impression here was that the Introduction of Mrs. Sutton's letters, which were' read first ift' sec ret and then In open court, will enlist more sympathy in favor of the mother and; the dead lieutenant, even though some of the charges In the letters were more-sensationiil than she might have made in a calmer moment. Mrs. Sutton is still indignant and still at a loss to understand why the confidential letters she - wrote to Harry M. Schwartz, paymaster's clerk in Washington, who posed as a friend of her son, should now turn up in the hands of the judge advocate. How they were obtained Is as yet unex plained New . mystery developed today . in UheBneejheg that Schwarls within the' past' month had. visited Mrs. Sutton in her apart ments at Washington and wished her success in her effort to prove that Sutton did not commit suicide. Furthermore, it is said that the mother, perhaps with the sense of premonition she has had about other things, recently asked Schwartz as to the whereabouts of the confidential letters written him. VI destroyed them all, long ago, Mrs. Sutton," he is reported to have frankly respond ed. They nbw turn up in the hands of the judge advocate, Major Leon ard. Mrs. Sutton said today that Schwartz always gave her to under stand that he was an official in the marine corps pay office, and not a clerk. He is said to be an enlised man who is working for a lieuten ancy. The guard book, containing the record of the patrols on the night Sutton was killed cannot now be lo cated, according to the opening state ment of the judge advocate when the Suton inquiry resumed oday. Major Leonard said- a diligent search had failed to reteal Its whereabouts. Ev idently it has been "misplaced", said Major Leonard, This book has been'wanted to clear up ,a portion of Private Kennedy s testimony. , Kennedy did not remember the name of the guard he relieved on the night he saw a part of the campus fight. Attorney Davis said that he would have a witness on band this af ternoon to clear up the- guard re& ord..'- .''.'' :" He is said to .be Sergeant-Major Hurlbut. Corporal Todd, now en route from Boston, is believed to be another sen try Whose name the missing guard book would show. , Sensation No. 3 of the session came when Attorney Davis called Mrs. Sut ton back to the stand and put Into evidence a mysterious calling card. bearing the name of Lieutenant Sum ner. On its back were a few woros in pencil. Solemnly it was passed about the table. Attorney Btrney, counsel for Adams and tacit attorney for all the defendant officers, objected to its introduction. Major Leonard said he wanted to be fair and throw all the light possible in favor of either side. This card made it necessary, he said, to summon Lieutenant Sumner from the Norfolk yards. The court decided not to make putfllc the card's contents until Sumner arrived. It 'was reliably reported that it was an apology for a duel challenge sent Button. Attorney Davis said it would have bearing on some of the testimony that Sutton was hated by some officers. Rumors of a duel challenge and an apology had been heard (n the case before. - , ; Mrs. ' Sutton identified the letters (Continued on Page Two.)

GARDNER IS ANGRY WITH THE PRESIDENT (By Leased Wire to The Times) Beverly, Mass. Aug. 10 Congressman Augustus P. Gardiner, repiesetative at Washington from this district is quite angry. The sad part of it Is that he cannot say anything. He rode over to the Myopia club, not because he heard the president was there but because he approved of the place. He was s'tting upon the club house veranda when he saw something which made him Jump and speak under his breath. What he saw was a rear view of two men. One was a very large person, about six feet tall and four feet wide with a mountainous back, adorned with a pink stripped shirt and gray flannel trousers, belted where the 1 waist line ought to iave bcwi The vt.. u. ,vi. .. , . u very UIIII IlUtll UUVUL uuc frourth ' &a '-' -wide and two feet-lower than the other whose hand was tucked confidentially inside the great arm of the other. Congressman Gardiner was annoyed because he recognized them They were William Howard Taft, presi dent of the United States and John Hays Hammond who is said to be a candidate for Gardiner's job. John Hays Hammond is an unknown quantity in Massachusetts polities ond Massachusetts politicians observe with suspicion his friendly relations with the president. It was particularly annoying because lots of people around here think It ought to be Gussle Gard iner who should be strolling arm in arm with President Taft. However there was not much poli tical significance in the golf links ap pearance of Hammond and the presi dent. It was revenge that they were out for. The day before they ran up again Gvneral Adelbert Ames and W. J. Boardmun at the Essex club, and the Hainmond-Taft golf team was roundly thrashed. The president demanded a return match and told Hammond that he needed practice If he expected to play with him. A lot of people around here are unkind enough to say that Hammond lost the match on purpose so that he could fight for the return game and whatever practice there might be. They are all Gardiner sum pathizers. IN HONOR OF GOMPERS. B!g Labor Celebration Will lie. Given in Washington When Leader Re ttyiiH From Abroad. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Aug. 10 In honor of the return of Samuel Gompers next October, labor organizations of the eastern states will unite in a big pa rade In Washington, possibly the greatest celebration of Its kind held iu years.

The celebration In this city will be a tribute to the achievements of the labor leader in Europe and also a pledge of affection and loyalty to him. The labor unions of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Wheeling, Harrisburg, and others, will be invited to participate. BABIES DIB FROM HEAT. Foity Bodies of Babies Are in the Morgue Today as Result of Record Heat. (By Leased Wire jto The Times) 1 New York, Aug. 10 The bodies of 40 babies are In the morgue to day, the harvest of yesterday's rec ord heat. They came from various institutions in the city, 27 being from the New York Foundling Asylum. In addition to the Infants 'there were seven adults reported dead from the heat. - y It is estimated that 10,000 persons slept ota the beach at Ctfney Island last night. - - . i WILSON FIRST RALEIGH SECOND IN DIG RACE Yesterday Was a Busy Day and Numbers of Clubs Were Formed Over tbe State MRS 1UCFARLAND FIRST Miss Dement, Miss Waiters, and Miss Clark Are Rushing to the Front, and Their Friends in Raleigh Are Working Hard For Them Great Bonus Offer Closed Lost Night and Business Was on a Rush All Day. Wilson Leads, While Raleigh is Going to Put Up a Hard Fight. Two Great Trips Worth $125 Each. The great bonus offer closed yes terday, and It was a rush to the fin ish and then It still keeps coming on the mails. Every mall yesterday brought subscriptions, and thousands of votes were issued for them, while in the city the contestants were on the go all day long and there were a good number of new subscribers to sh(w for this work. Raleigh is rushing to the front, but then there Is Wilson still holding first . place. Miss Eva Warters is making a splen did race In Raleigh and her friends are working for her on every side. Miss Frances Dement is one of the popular leaders in the city, and her friends are getting mighty busy in ber behalf, and she is going to make a great race for the Canadian trip. Then comes Miss Annie Clark, who is another popular girl in this cjty, and she, too, Is very anxious to go on this great trip as the guest of the Even ing Times. Her friends are working quietly; for un)i)-v)li : the- !th day of August comes tbey claim she wiU. be in the forefront for one of these grand trips.,: From now to August the 26th It Is going to be a race for the two grand est trips ever offered by any North Carolina newspaper. The contest ants find it easy to go out and get subscribers and they are 'turning them in by the dozen. Each day is going to count a lot in this race, and when all these girls get busy it is a certain fact that every person here will have a chance to take The Even ing Times. Mrs. McFarland, of Wil son, is leading by a big vote, and her many friends in Wilson and over thd state are doing their best for her. Her friends In Wilson say she must hold the first place, and from the way they are sending subscriptions it looks as if they are going to back up their word. Anyway the fight is on between Raleigh and Wilson, and it is going to be interesting to see who holds first place for one of these two great trips to the north. Wilson, N. C. Mrs. R. W.
