Gifford Pinchot, with a plea for the conserva tion o national resources based on the Roosevelt policies, brought a burst of enthusiasm from the Trans Mississippi Congress this morning when he reiterated his stand taken at Spokane for the protection of the national forests. He said in part: '"That the national duty lies in the .protection of conservation there is no doubt. I can conceive no higher plane of duty than that to sonserve the vast resources along the lines of the Roosevelt policies and to these policies I am committed. It is folly to -.say that land is plenty and the "forests are not being depleted. We have forests in plenty now but in years to come there will be famine In plenty if we do not take a stitch in time now." He said further that it lies with the West to make fertile the vast tracts which otherwise will be lost. Before Pinchot's address, the Arizona -delegates offered a resolution demand ing separate statehood and other res olutions were offered. John B. Leeds of Colorado, seeing in his mind's eye Japanese fleets and armies swarming -down on Washington, suggested changing the capital to Denver where the Japanese navy would have no chance. John W. Noble, former Sec retary of the Interior, spoke on con servation of forests and water rights. SMALL RIOT BY ANGRY STRIKERS Number Wounded at the Pressed Steel Car Works Near Pitts burg, Pennsylvania.

WITH THE IF FULL Most Reverend Jeane Baptiste Pitaval Invested With The Pallium, By Bishop N. Matz SPECIAL "SEBHpWS" FOB" THE DCCfiSIW ME PREACHED A Large Crowd Fills The Cathedral Coming to Witness Most Impressive Ceremonies Ever Conducted In Santa Fe. This morning Most. Reverend Arch bishop J. B. Pitaval was invested with the insignia', of full episcopal power, Bishop N.' .' Matz of Denver, conferring upon him. the. Pallium. The occasion was the scene of one of the most imnresslve ceremonies of the great Church of Rome. About niua o'clock a large body of clergy and acolytes proceeded from the Cathedral to the Archiepiscopal residence of the Archbishop and then escorted His Grace to the Cathedral The procession was led by Mayor Jose D. Sena followed by. the Banda de Santa Fe. Following came a large number of acolytes, the Christian Brothers, the Sisters, then all of the visiting priests and finally Bishop Matz, Bishop Granjon and Archbishop Pitaval. When the sanctuary of the church was reached and the clergy had taken their places, the singing of the Gre gorian Chant was begun. As soon as Bishop Matz, the cele brant of the Pontifical Mass was ful ly robed, the celebration of the Mass was commenced. The singing throughout the entire services was done by the clergy, one body being within the sanctuary and the other in the choir loft. The solemn chanting was grandly iniDressive. After the Gospel was read, tsisnop Granjon ascended the pulpit and be gan his address which was in Eng lish. Bishop Granjon took for his text the ninth and tenth verse of chapter 41st of Isaias. as follows: 9. In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from toe re mote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou are my sew ant. I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away. 10. Fear not, for I am with thee; turn not aside for I am thy God; have strengthened thee, and have help ed thee, and the right hand of my Just one hath upheld thee. The works of God, the Bishop stated, are admirable In the material order of things, but still more admirable Is the spiritual order. In the spiritual order of things the work most dear to the heart of God is the Catholic church. In the Catholic church that which Is admirable Is the government, which is simple In Itself, combined with a complexity of effects. The Bish op called attention to the fact that the church is called upon to cope witli people of every kind of nationality, of all kinds of customs and character istics. The government was carried out with a Supreme Pontiff at the head, surrounded by the Cardinals, New Mexican a short while ago pub lished the same In detail. x The Bishop then spoke impressively about the onerous, duties of the Arch- cr rp - rV4v, CATHEDRAL, SANTA EMBLEM EPISCOPAL POWER bishop's office, of the higher responsi bility it meant, but paid tribute to Most Reverend Pitaval, saying that he was fully equal to the occasion. Christianity throughout the ages; said, the Bishop, is in every way di rectly identified with the Catholic church. In a general way, he went on reviewing the part that the churc had played in the early centuries. He referred to the discovery of America by Columbus and showed how imme diately after, missionaries were sent FE, to this countrv. To them was due he ' made- covering 10,000 acres of land, said, all possible credit for the spread-' Charles D' Ford. register of the office, Ing of Christianity.

Zeal is everywhere evi-i dent. Schools, colleges, institutions i of all kinds, temples, churches and chapels have sprung up in all parts.! The Bishop then referred impressive ly to the pioneers of the church in this section mentioning Salpointe, Bourgade and others. Then address ing the Archbishop, he stated that the mantel of the early pioneers had now fallen upon his (Pitaval's) shoul ders. That it was for him to pre serve all that had been done and to augment the powers of the church in the matter of doing good. The task, he said, is one of great magnitude, but New Mexico is fortunate in that she possesses such a man as Arch bishop Pitaval who is so fully equal to the task. Possessing youth, strength and ability he has also tire less energy and indefatigable zeal, in fact every qualification that goes to wards making the ideal Archbishop. The Archbishop, he said, would rule with a gentle but. firm hand. Firm only because gentleness alone would be vain. It is a remarkable fact Baid the Bishop that the Mexican peo ple, the natives, have so well pre served intact, the faith of their fore bears. They still possess the love of church and religion as . did their ancestors. Poor in worldly goods, they are rich in the sight of God, in spiritual favors. The native people are a shining example of what religion can do towards making mankind sat; Isfled in spite of the miseries and ad verslties of life. The Bishop complimented Arch' bishop Pitaval upon the fact that hei,,08lng the Gntir. , hn,v nf fh would have to support him in all his , acts, a most loving and dutiful flock, ! children, who would at al times be ) obedient to him, and serve as a sol- ace and a comfort. The clergy too, he said, were the essence of staunch loyalty, ever at the Archbishop's command. This section of the cow-jieft try, he said, is still in a pioneer mis-3 sionary Btate and many conquests are still to be made. Much plowing and j planting is still necessary to reap fu- ture narvests. soius oi nigujy wm- 1 i tJjS perod metal are needed to assist in tin? great work, to encourage progress amid adverse conditions. Good priests too are needed as the character of the priest usually determines the sincerity and loyalty of the people, in concluding, the Bishop spoke in a highly eulogistic way of the archdio cese, acw Mexico, referring to it as the land so bountifully blessed with all that is good and as the land that nas a grand and glorious future. This peroration was a vivid word picture and deeply impressive. At its con elusion the Bishop addressed Arch bishop Pitaval, using the following iSMjncai quotation: "Take courage and be brave. Take courage and be very valiant. Take courage, I com mantl thee for behold the Lord thy Cod is with thee." After Bishop Granjon concluded. Reverend J. Juillard began the deliv ery of his sermon which appears on another page. The sermons over, the celebration of Mass was continued.
