CONGRESS OPENED
LARGE GATHERING OF ARCH-
BISHOPS AND PRIESTS.
Cardinal Vannutelli Delivered an
Address After Formalities Were
Dispensed With.
(Associated Press Report.)
MONTREAL September 6 With sol-
emn ceremony the twenty-first interna-
tional Eucharlstic congress was opened
In St. James' cathedral tonight In the
presence of several hundred archbishop
bishops and priests representing nearly
every Catholio center In civilisation.
The ceremony opened with the read'ng
of the papal brief appointing Cardinal
Vannutelll legate to the conference.
Alpr. Hurchst. archbishop of Montreal
then delivered an address of welcome in
the name of the hierarchy of Canada and
the I'nttod States.
Communications between the legate and
King George V were read the king reply-
ing with expressions of gratitude to tl-.e
message announcing unswerving loyalty.
Early in the nlcnt the congress rs a
body sent a meesaite to the pope to which
the pontiff replied through the papal
secretary of state. Cardinal M.fry Del
Val. At the close of these formalities ti e
pope s representative mounted the pulpit
and looking out upon a multitude of m-n
and women gathered from all parts of the
world said:
TWO CONTINENTS t'NTTED.
"How beautiful Is the spectacle pre-
sented today to the entire universe by
the Catholic chv.rch In this fortunate land
of America. Europe stretches out her
hand to America and America in a
sublime enthusiasm Joins with her to
exalt the greatest of the sacraments un-
der the guidance and with the encourage-
ment of the Supreme Tastor
'It seemed at first as If the difficulties
of such a long voyage would deprive
America of the honor and satisfaction
of entertaining an International Eucha-
rlstic congress But faith will move moun-
tains and when planted in the heart as
It Is In those of all Canadians it regards
no difficulties; It sees only the need
which It has to assert and manifest lt-
svlf. To Montreal belongs tlte honor of
receiving within Its walls the first In-
ternational Eucharlstic congress held on
the American continent but there is
even reason to hope that thanks to this
first example other congresses will be
held In America alternating with those
in Europe and other parts of the world.
Toward the end of the Fifteenth century
a great occurrence the discovery of
America revealed the alms reserved by
Providence for modern times. God said
to His church as He had said to His
divine Son: I shall give Thee as a
heritage all the nations of the earth: I
shall give unto Thee the countless popu-
lation of thee immense regions to be
added to those already In My bosom. 1
shall raise up apostles who will spread
Mv words through these new lands.'
Here In particular to this beautiful val-
lev of the St. Lawrence shall come
champions of the faith and of civilisa-
tion who will quickly transform this de-
serted forest'clad land and will found a
colony to establish there the Catholic
religion and to effect the conversion of
its savage peoples. Canada shall be the
cradle of a great Christian world. Bare-
lv two centuries and a half shall have
elapsed before Catholic North America
shall see Its flourishing dioceses attached
to the ancient hierarchy of the churches
of the Old World and the universal
Shepherd shall show to an astonished
universe the Old and the New Yorld real-
ising the universality of the church pre-
dicted by the Savior to His aptsoles.
MAM NATIONALITIES
"Where can this universality prepared
bv divine will better manifest Itself than
In an International congress such as this
which I have the satisfaction to salute In
the name of the Holy Father a congress
of representatives of all the races and
all the nationalities united as members
of a single family of bishops from all
quarters of the Orient and Occident of
priests of divers rites gathered from
every colony as on the day of Pentecost?
"If you greet with such enthusiasm the
legate of the pope It Is because you wish
to manifest before the whole world you
love and your obedience to him at Rome
whom you recognise as do all Catholics
as the sole chief the sole shepherd the
sole father of all souls.
'The secret of this unity the bond
of this union lies In the sacrament which
has brought about this congress the Eu-
charist." Cardinal Vanutelll concluded with a
reference to the difficulties of the Ro-
man Catholic church In France express-
ing the hope that Canada the daughter
nation to France should obtain divine
clemency for the country which gave to
her the breath of life and should see her
again restored as before to the religious
liberty the life and the faith of her an-
cestors. THE TEXAS PECAN CROP.
Estimated It Will Range From
5000000 to 7000000 Pounds.
I Houston Post 5 f trial.)
SAN ANTONIO Texas September I.
The Texas pecan crop this year will range
from 6000000 to 7000.000 pounds accord-
ing to San Antonio commission men.
While the crop Is a little late. It will be
about an average.
Uvalde will ship about twenty cars or
600000 pounds and the Brady-Brown-wood
section wil ship about forty cars
or 1000.000 pounds The rest of the crop
will come from various sections many
cities shipping a car or two.
The Colorado and Nueces river valleys
are the greatest pecan producing regions
In the State. The banks of these two
rivers are lined with magnificent pecan
trees. Some of the larger trees will yield
as high as 115 worth of the nuts In one
season although the average 1s only
from 13 to $5 a tree.

H. I. Smith.
INTERSTATE CARRIERS
Will Use Power Developed From
the Streams of the West Mr.
Blanchard of Louisiana Also
for National Control
(Associated Press Retort.)
ST. PALL. Minn. September . If
lresldent Taft monopolised the attention
of the National conservation congress
yesterday he did no more than Roosevelt
did today. The auditorium was filled to
hear the former president drive home his
policy for the conservation of National
resources. The crowd for tha must part
followed him to the State fair grounds
leaving a meagre audience half of whom
were women to listen to the addresses cf
the afternoon.
Former Uovemor Blanchard of Louis-
iana former Governor I'ardee of Califor-
nia and James R Garfield delivered ad-
dresses favoring National control of nat-
ural rources.
Mr C.arfleld was originally scheduled
to talk tomorrow but John Barrett who
was chairman of the aftermW session
called upon him today. Mr. Garfield said.
In pait:
"Some of the greatest land frauds have
been perpetrated under the guise of tech-
nical compliance with laws which In fact
did not apply to the character of the land
obtained or the use to which it was put.
For example timber and coal lands have
been taken under the homestead net
water power reservoirs lanen as mineial
Interests. Such cases as these can tie pre-
vented onlv bv vigorous executive action
and never erasing vigilance of executive
i fficers.
MOVE. TO FRIGHTEN PEOPL2.
"Exactly as the cry of executive usur-
;atlon was raised s now the ghost of
States rights Is dragged to frighten the
people. There Is no real conflict between
the nation and States In dealing with the
public lands and the use of natural re-
sources. Each Jurisdiction has great In-
terests to safeguard duties to perform
lor the common good and wherever the
jurisdiction uverlcp neither should wiih-
druw but bv co-operation provide for
such regulation as will prevent private
and special Interests from escaping ef-
fective public regulation and supervision.
"Fur example tin proposition to trans-
fer to the several Slates all public lands
adapted to use for reservoir or lam sites.
Is absolutely wrong It is nut an mfringe-
nunt of the rights of the States for the
nation to keep and provide f r .he use of
sidi lands but would be a flagrant vio-
lation of duty if the nation gave away
its povvtr to safeguard the pul lie Inter-
ests against the agressun of spe-lal In-
terests that art -ee.:rc t" monopolise
the water power of the country "
Herbert K.n x Smith. . nlted States
commission r of corporations also ad-
dressed the -onvention.
Mr. Smith said:
"In our complex civilization there are
many things that are necessaries of
life. Control over any ef them jepresents
a power that is essentially governmental.
This is plainlv true of basic necessaries
lik j food clothing transportation heat
and light: it is true of the natural re-
sources that are lack of these. It is also
true of the mechanical power that pro-
duces and delivers them. Private control
of any of these unrestrained either by
business competition or by governmental
authority means that Irresponsible Indi-
viduals hold a command over the dally
life and welfare of the citizen which the
men of our race have never willingly
granted to any except their own repre-
sentatives chosen hy them.
"For us mechanical power Is a basic
necessary and our power demand steadi-
ly Increases. Our chief present sources
of power supply coal petroleum and na-
tural gas although at present ample are
absolutely fixed In quantity and can not
he replaced. Water power is the one Im-
portant source of mechanical power now
practically available which is self-renewing.
Its importance therefore to our
present vision must steadily Increase
Effective restraint imised by com-
petition on Its control is becoming more
and more Improbable. There has been a
marked concentration of water power
control In private hands and this process
Is advancing rapidly. Public regTilatlon
of water power the only other alternative
therefore becomes a necessity.
' Electric transmission has worked this
change within the last decade. As now
commercially practicable such transmis-
sion allows a given water power to reach
a market area of at least 80000 square
miles. It has raised water power from
purely local work and made It the vital
energy for great communities and distant
enterprises. It has brought our water
power resources suddenly within the
sweep of great economic forces.
"The scope of the Federal Jurisdiction
Is of first importance because the water
power t-roblem is. In the main a National
one. Much of the power la transmitted
across State lines or is used by interstate
carriers the bulk of the capital that Is
developing our most Important powers
comes from Interests outside the States
where the powers are located and It is
obvious that State lines and State Juris-
diction have no practical relation whatso-
ever to the sweep of these forces. The
hydro-electric business has been largely
nationalized by those who are foremost
In It."
BLANCHARD AGAINST STATES'
RIGHTS.
Former Governor Blanchard of Louisi-
ana took a decided stand against the
theory of States' rights as applied to the
const n ation of National resources.
"I fully Indorse the address of Mr. Gar-
field" he said. "Ther was a time when
the question of States' riKhts was a real
Issue but It seems strange to me as a
Southern democrat that now there comes
a voice from tile West thai conservation
must be abandoned by the central gov-
ernment and turned over to the tCdr
mercies of the Western states.
"All tlte people are owners of the land
domain not merely the pople who happen
1o live In the States In which these prop-
itles are W-aled. The tremndous power
of the Federal government should lead in
the conservation movement.
"Tiiere should be eo-operation between
the Federal government and the States.
The legislatures of Western States are
no more corrupt than those of other
States but the tuprerne power should be
lodged In the Federal government and all
the people of all the States wIlJTYBap the
benefit".
FIGHT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.
In the place of B. A Fowler of Arizona
who was on the program but who was
not present William E. Smith of Ban
Diego Cal. was Introduced. He argued
that the National government has done
the constructive work in Irrigation and
should deal similarly with water power
sites
The departure actual and prospect-
ive of Western governors Is believed to
Indicate that the plan to fight for a State
control platform has been abandoned.
Governor Hay of Washington however
changed his mind tonight about leaving
and Informed reporters that he would
stay until the congress was out. fighting
to fe last In favor of State control.
Addresses by Senator Beveridge of
Indiana and J. J. Hill are on the program
for tomorrow.

WASHINGTON September 6 Victor
MurUock. the militant Insurgent represen-
tative from Kansas passed through
Washington today on his way to Chi-
cago. Mr. Murdock prophesied that the
next United States senate would be con-

parties with the result that a revision
of the tariff one schedule at a time
would follow.
"The next senate will be dominated by
the progressive element without regard

"The next house of representatives will
have a progressive majority that will sur-
prise the nation.
"Democratic? I don't know. I haven't
been thinking about that It will be pro-
gressive and It will be productive of the

F. E. McGovern an Insurgent Has
Also Swept the State for Guberna
torial Nomination.
(Associated Press Report.)
MILWAUKEE. Wis. September .
United States Senator Kobert La Follette
has swept the State of Wisconsin In the
primary election for renomlnatlon defeat-
ing his opponent Samuel A. Cook B to 1.
Although early returns showed consider-
able strength for E. T. Falrchlld In the
race for the republican nomination for
governor the later figures are showing
large gains for F. E. McGovern who won
fame as the anti-graft district attorney
of Malwaukee.
There Is now a certainty that county
option has been defeated by a big ma-
jority for both of the candidates who are
in tiie lead are opposed to county option
though McGovern is the La Follette sup-
porter and Falrchlld figures as a supporter
of the Taft administration.
The votes cast for the democratic State
ticket are so few that while nominations
are made it Is necessary under the pri-
mary law that the vote cast be at least 20
per cent of the party vote cast at the last
election In order to secure representation
on the ballot. The democrats nave antici-
pated tills situation and declare the law
governing the case Is unconstitutional and
will have the supreme court pass upon It
before the election is held.
Adolph J. Schmlts of Milwaukee was
named by the democrats as the guberna-
torial nominee.
The prohibitionists nominated a full
ticket headed by Joseph W. Collins of
Stevens Point for United States senator
and Byron E. Van Keuren of Oshkosh for
governor.
The social democrats also nominated a
full ticket headed by John C. Kleist of
Milwaukee for United States senator and
William A. Jacobs of Racine for governor.
