OFFSET RIRPINCHOT
Taft's Friends Plan to Get in
Conservation Game.
WHITE BACK OF MOVEMENT
Headquarters of National Conservation
Congress Expected to Be at
Indianapolis.
It begins to look as if a movement was
beta* engineered by friends of President
Taft to take the work of national conservation
as a propaganda out of the
control of Gifford Pinchot and his friends
by starting a counter movement that Is
expected to overshadow the National
Conservation Association, of which Mr
P.nchot is president, and which has Its
headquarters here in Washington. The
new movement. It is said, to grow out
of the National Conservation Congress,
which meets annually, and which has
comprehended wlth'n its scope all of the
various agencies, including the National
Conservation Association, of which Mr.
Pinchot is pres dent.
t the Kansas City convention of the
conservation congress. J. B White of
Kansas City was elected president.
Mr. White is a wealthy lumberman but
he is said to be an ardent conservationist
and also a friend of President Taft Mr.
White intends to devoe some of hi*
money to the work of increasing the activity
and usefulness of the National Conservation
Congress.
Shipp to Have Charge.
In line with this idea he lias pre tically
closed arrangements wih Thomas R
Shipp. who has been acting in the duai
caracity as secretary of the Natlona
Conservation Congress and as seer. tar>
of the National Conservation Association
to devote his time exclusively to ihe conaervat.on
congress. Mr Shipp will go to
Ind anapolis in the near future to open
headquarters prov ded the plans of Mr.
White are approved t>y the executive

THE BIG
committee of the conservation congress. | f
ix is pretty certain that the executive V
committee will be favorably disposed to
the scheme, as the.members are to be *
appointed by President White.
Just what the future of Mr. Pinchot's
conservation association will be remains
to be seen. He has wealth, and he has
friends who are wealthy, and he has an
established reputation as a lighter. For
some time it has been apparent that the
National Conservation Assoc'ation, with r
Mr. Pinchot at its head, could not con- r
tinue to work harmoniously with seme
of Us former officers and active members
who are among the large contributors to
its financial success. Two of Mr. Pinchot's
former associates in the association?Walter
Fisher and Henry L. Stimson?are
now In President Taft's cabinet. It has
been apparent for some time that there
is a growing breach between Fisher and
Pinchot as to the pol'cy to be pursued in
Alaska. Both men visited Alaska this
year and If the published reports of their
observations and conclusions are to be p
relied upon they are at wide variance. It
Is not to be expected that Henry L. Stim- $
son. Secretary of War, will join forces
with PJnchot against his fellow cabinet
member. Walter Fisher, Secretary of the
Interior. n
Are Supporting La Follette.
But back of the Alaskan situation,
which Is a live issue In Conservation ti
circles, there Is another fundamental n
trouble between GlfTord Pinchot and some
of his associates In the conservation assoclation.
Mr. Pinchot and h s brother
Amos will support Senator La Follette P
for President, and do everyth ng they can
to bring about the defeat of President "
Taft. If Gov. Woodrow Wilson should
be the democratic nominee hgalnst Taft a
it s the belief of Plnchot's friends here J
that he will support Wilson. Mr. Pin- j
chot's article in a recent issue of the 11
Saturday Evening Post makes It very
clear that he has broken irrevocably with
the President on the conservation ssue.
Of course, his former associates, Stimson
and Fisher, will hardly follow him in this
political course. v
Politics cannot be expected to enter very "
actively into the work of the National
Conservation Association, but Gilford Pin- ei
chot's name is so close y allied to the <?
work of the association that it will be tl
hard to divorce his persona ity from the P
association. a
Some observers affect to see In the sud- f?
den efTort of the xNat'onal Conservatimi f
Congress to blossom into an active propa- y
at da a plan on the part of President^ 1
Taft's friends to overwhelm GlfTord Pin- n
chot's national asso iation. or at least to tl
see tha? the greatest agency for promot- tl
Ing national conservation is not put in an n
attitude of political hostility to President tl

VIENNA'S MEAT K~
STIR THE GOVERNMENT
Frozen Meats From Argentine
Regarded as Only Relief
Ffom High Prices.
FV>reign Correspondence of The Star.
VIENNA, October 7. 1911.
The serious meat riots which took place
here a couple of weeks ago have since
been Imitated in a milder form in many
provincial towns. The prices here are
very high?higher than In almost any
other country?but this is not due to protection
in the ordinary sense of the
wura. rne population nas Deen increasing
rapidly, and the inland production of cattle
has not been able to keep pace with
it, while the import of both cattle and
fresh and frozen meat nas been slopped
for years. Then came an epidemic of
cattle disease in the spring, which further
reduced the domestic stock, and
finally the general rise of prices, which
has made itself felt everywhere.
Angered the People.
The 4,000 tons of Argentine meat which
were allowed to enter during the first
laif of the year did little to lill the gap
n the supplies, and the exasperation of
the Viennese when they heard that a
shipload of 7c0 tens more which arrived
it Triesle in August was forbidden to
ie landed at the instance of the Hunjarion
government gave an obvious a~rantage
to the socialists in arranging the
lemonstratiens.
Now the government shows belated
tas.e, which rather suggests weakness
han goid will, in taking measures cal:ulated
to reduce the price of food. A
ninisterial council has already decided
o reduce the inland railway rates on
>otatoes and other vegetables and fodder
?y 50 per cent, and to negotiate aga n
vlth Hungary for the Import of more
Lrgentine meat, as the agreement of the
ther half of the monarchy must be given

Likely to Agree.
Negotiations will begin at onee, and the
Hungarian premier, Count Khuen-Kedorvary,
who has been rather impressed by
the dearness cf meat and the threat of
disturbances in Hungarian towns, too,
seems inclined to grant the permission, ,
although with the bargaining instinct I
usual in Hungarian statesmen he is
going to ask for "compensation" in the
form of concessions to Hungarian wishes
in railway matters.

allotted to Rumania under the recent
commercial treaty, which the latter country
is unable to supply owing to the de- j
pletion of its own herds. The main hope
of the Austrian city populace, however,
lies in the import of sufficient frozen
meat. ?
