Exhibited a unanimous spirit of en-
thusiasm for an<J confidence In the cause
for which it had assembled.
(By George Waverley Brlggs.)
At a caucus of sixty progressive citi-
zens of San Antonio, which wits held at
Bcholu Hall last night preparations for
the formal launching of a campaign for
the modern form of municipal govern-
ment were made. These are to culminate
next week in the action of a mass meet-
ing which will create the permanent or-
ganization to promote the canso of an
Improved municipal system to Its final
fruition In actual attainment. The rec-
ommendations of the caucus are but pre-
liminary and advisory, tho people of San
Antonio who have at heart the city's
fullest development will Initiate their
program of procedure.
mmedlatelly upon convening, the cau-
cus "effected temporary organization with
the election of John If Clark temporal *'
chairman and J. H. Swrel. t wporary
secretary. It proceeded then to the busi-
ness before It, debating fully every ques-
tion that arose and acting upon It de-
liberately and carefully, with the pre-
cision of business men. It Is probable
that the temporary organization will be
made permanent by tho mass meeting.
ENTHUSIASM AND CONFIDENCE.
Conspicuous was the spirit of enthus-
iasm find confidence which pervaded the
crowd. Opinions were given freely, and
perfect harmony prevailed. It was In
every sense a conference for the e.v
change of Ideas beneficial to a cause
whloh Is cherished by a.ll who were pres
ent as representatives of a majority of
the citizenship of San Antonio -the elc
merit which is working for the city's
rapid and substantial progress.
Despite the hindrance of an Inclement
evening, nearly all those Invited were
present. The attendance was intensely
gratifying, inasmuch as it revealed the
indomitable spirit of the makers of the
new city. Although tho streets were
muddy and the night rainy, the crowd
trudged to the hall inspired by the zeal
of a common purpose which disagreeable
weather conditions could not dampen.
Calling the caucus to order, Representa-
tive Chester Terrell explained lis pur-
pose with a brief statement. It was
a meeting of friends of the commission
form of government to effect a tem-
porary organization with which to In-
augurate the campaign In behalf of an
Improved system of municipal control,
the duty of forming a permanent organ-
ization resting with a mass meeting of
tlie people which would be called sub-
sequently. His call for nominations for
the office of temporary chairman brought
D. J. Woodward to his feet with the
name of John H. Clark upon his lips.
The nomination received dozens of sec-
onds, and Mr, Clark was chosen by ac-
clamation, there being no other names
placed before the caucus.
Mr. Clark was escorted to the chair hy
E. K. Richardson and P. <:. Woods.
Tersely but to the point he delivered tho
keynote s)>eech of the campaign.
PEOPLE WILL DETERMINE.
"It is for the people, to determine
whether tlicy want the commission char-
ter or not." said Mr. Clark, "and It Is ihe
thinking, active, business man who Is
called on to make the decision. * * '
The chief virtue In this proposition la
that It calls for the exercise of the in-
telligence of the Individual voter. » • «
The purpose of this undertaking Is not
to form cliques with which to Injure
anybody politically or otherwise; Its pur-
pose Is to develop San Antonio and bring
about the uniting of the people for the
upbuilding of the city. • * • Unless
you have the courage to come out and
assist In this movement you would better
not start It. If you undertake to dictate
to the people you would better quit now.
The thing to do Is to Induce the peo-
ple to think for themselves."
The straightforward business talk of
the temporary chairman was applauded
at every period It was manifest that, lie
spoke the convictions of the caucus, "I
don't understand," said Mr. Clark, with
a twinkle In his eye, "that It. is our pur-
pose to appoint a committee of thirteen
to dictate to the people how to vote—."
lie was Interrupted by an explosion of
laughter. "A committee of nine, a com-
mittee of nine!" shouted a voice. "Or
a committee of nine," resumed the-speak-
er, amid continued hilarity. "If yoi ever
get the people to believe that thero Is n
chance for them to express their con-
victions, you will have no trouble."
Chairman Clark stressed the nonparti-
san feature of the work which is about
to be undertaken. "The politicians need
not Intrude now." he said, "their time is
coming after the people shall have ex-
pressed themselves upon tills proposed
change In municipal government; If
they so desire, they can be then heard,"
With this the caucus obviously agreed.
The feeling that manifested Itself repelled
the Idea of politics. The object to be at-
tained is not essentially political; It, Is
economic. It Is conceived in an ambition
to advance the city's government to stand-
ards of operation compatible with the
principles of the business world, the ap-
plication of which lius made Ssn Antonio
conspicuous In the eyes of the Nation.
Continued on l'»ge Nine.
'The National Government Must Do
Its Part." Says Colonel; "I Depre-
cate the Agitation in Favor of
Such Legislation" Is the
President's Stand.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark , Oct, in. Theodore
Roosevelt placed Himself on record here
today as opposed to the view expressed by
President Taft ou one phase of tjio work
of conserving and developing the natural
resources of the country.
Colonel Roosevelt declared that the Fed-
eral Government should do all It legiti-
mately could do to assist lu the reclsuia-
tlon of the great swamp areas of the Mis-
sissippi Valley.
In a speech at the National Conservation
Congress in 81;. Paul, September tl, Presi-
dent Taft said he believed the work should
be done by the States themselves, and that
he deprecated the Idea that the National
Government should do It.
As soon as Colonel Roosevelt reached
Hot Springs today, Governor Donaghey
and several other men wuo ore Interested
In obtaining help from the National Gov-
ernment In the reclamation project,
asked him to touch upon the subject In
his address at the Arkansas State Fair.
Colonel Roosevelt promised them to do so.
THE COLONEL'S POSITION.
In bis speech the colonel said:
"There are things about the open coun-
try that should be done by the Govern-
ment, that is, by the representatives of all
of us, working together. Arkansas Is one
of a group of Slates with an enormous
urea of swamp lands, I ndralned the land
Is worthless; and w^ieii drained It, Is a
block of the most fertile land In the entire
Nat,', ti,
""he National Government must do 11s
part In helping the drainage, because Ihe
drainage is an Interstate affair. Arkansas,
Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi are all concerned, and ought all to
work together, and the National Govern-
ment should render all possible legitimate
uld."
THE PRESIDENT'S STAND.
In his St. Paul speech, President Taft
cspressed a view directly opposite. Ills
words were as follows:
"Suggestions hare been made that the
United States ought to aid lu the drainage
of swamp lands belonging to States or
private owners, because If drained they
would be exceedingly valuable for agricul-
ture and contribute to the general welfare
by extending the area of cultivation. I
deprecate the agitation in favor of such
legislation. It is Inviting the general Got-
ernment Into contribution from its treasury
toward enterprises tuat should be con-
ducted either by private capital or at the
lustatire of the State. In these days there
Is a disposition to luok too much to the
Federal Government for everything."
It Is estimated that there are IB,000,000
acres of swamp lauds iu the States men-
tioned by Colonel Roosevelt aud Governor
Donaghey said today that the question of
their reclamation was a vital one.
Colonel Roosevelt made his remarks on
the subject In connection with a speech on
"New Nationalism," In which he urged, as
he has done In his other speeches during
bis present Southern trip, that the power
of the central government be eitcnded to
deal with present-day problems in the way
Colonel Roosevelt believes they should be
dealt with.
One of the lurgest, crowds which Colonel
Roosevelt has addressed during his South-
ern trip was at the fair grounds to hear
him.
After being welcomed to Hot Springs by
Governor Donaghey and a reception com-
mittee, Colonel Roosevelt went to the fair
grounds. The reception committee was
composed of IMO men from all over the
State.
DONAGHEV'S ENTRY IS SPECTACULAR
Colonel Iloosevelt's entry to the grounds
was Inconspicuous and the crowd did not
know he had arrived until lie appeared
In the grandstand. Governor Donaguey,
who came shortly after hltu, however, at-
tracted more attention. First there came
two trumpeters, moiuiled on horseback,
dressed In gilt uniforms, aud blaring forth
a salute. They rode down the race track
III front of the crowd, followed by a com-
pany of the Arkansas National Guard.
Then come the Governor, who was seated
In an open carriage He took his seat on
a stand across the track from the grand-
stand, where Colonel Roosevelt was seated.
The former President was brought over to
him.
Sixteen hundred school children, dressed
in red, white tind blue costumes aud ar-
ranged so as to represent the flag, were
seated In a grandstand hack of the Colonel
and the Governor. They sang "America"
and "Dixie," led by a young woman In
white, who stood on the track and waved
a baton at them.
Confederate veterans In their uniforms
of gray were seated on one side of tbu
stand, in front of the children, and <m
the other side were some Grand Army
veterans in their blue uniforms. A young
woman In blue dress strewed flowers
over the Confederate veterans, who
dodged and blinked as the shower de-
scended over them.
A young woman In gray did the same
for the Grand Army men, nrid then both
young women threw roses over Colonel
Roosevelt. Some one released four white

nees settled tonight o\er the entrance to
the Starkvilie mine, the hope that had
buoyed up the vatehers at the pit mouth
throughout, the day that some of the fifty
or more men entombed tbere would be
found about, grew faint, aud gloom settled
again over the silent crowd.
This mornttig the experts at the head of
the rescue party were confident that some
of the men walled up by Saturday night's
explosion were alive. They believed the
portable fan, forcing rresli air into the
workings, would keep the men lu the
extreme southern portion of the mine alive
until they could be reached, but as tin-
day rescue party stumbled slowly out of
the pit tonight one glance at their faces
told the watchers that the hope was al-
most vain

of constant peril, the rescue party pene

BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 10,—A five
hours' conference between President Taft
and Senator Eliliu Ftoot of New York
oaured much speculation In Beverly to-
day.
Senator Root aril veil shortly before
noeni and left again for New York at o
o'clock. Ho would not diffusa hie visit
to the President In any way. As to New
York Htate, he would fcr|> no further than
to say that the Republicans "have a
fighting chance."
Of the Republican convention at Sara-
toga, Mr. Hoot said it did the logical
thing, hut he declined to go Into detail*.
It was reported that President. Taft had
summoned Senator Root to the summer
capltol to talk over prospective Supreme
Court appointments, among othrr things.
This report lvd to a revival of the rumor
that Senator Root might himself become
a member of that high tribunal. The
Senator was noncommltal after the con-
ference.
Petit its tho Supreme Court appoint-
ment* and the political situation in New
York tftate, Senator Root and the Presi-
dent had other things to talk about. The
Senator has but recently returned from
The Hague, where he acted as chief
counsel for the United States In tho fish-
eries dispute In Newfoundland. He Is
also one ot the administration represent-
atives and 'consequently one of the ma-
jority on t.h* Balllnger-PJnchot investi-
gating committee.
it was said tonight that Senator Root
and Mr Taft also discussed today the
part that Colonel Roosevelt 1s to play
in tho campaigns of this year and in
1M2. Both were members 01 the Roose-
velt Cabinet. Senator Root Is generally
regarded as a stanch supporter of the
administration. President Taft has re-
lied much <>n him In getting his measures
through Congress.
W hen Senator Root went abroad last
summer and mot Colonel Roosevelt in
London, it was reported that he would
undoubtedly counteract many of tho ad-
verse re»>ort8 of the Taft administration,
which had been carried to the colonel
by Clifford Pinehot and others.
Senator Root voted for and defended
the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law
