Mr.. BHrriS Says Story Is
Absolutely False
NOR has HI ENTERED SUIT
For The Recovery Of $3.50, Which
Is The Amount Said 10 Have
Been Taken

In an editorial paragraph In the
Dover Index of yesterday, the Hon. l..
Hcisler Ball, member Of Congress
from this State, was charged with
most serious offense, that OF having
appropriated to his own use State
funds TO the amount OF $2150. The
publication created unusual surprise
here and was met by prompt and em-
phatic denials, not only by Congress-
man Ball. but by State Treasurer Bur-
ris who, II was said, had entered suit
against Congressman Ball to recover
the money alleged TO have been taken.
According to the Index. Congress
man Ball had claimed $3.50 In pay
men for extra clerk hire and special
service. and that In Mr.. Balls settle
ment with the State as its treasurer he
retained that amount from Mr.. Bur-
ris, who had since instituted suit 10

Treasurer BurEis said:

The GREAT WEST.

The growing Importance of the west
as dominent factor in government and
in commercial and Industrial enterprise
is widely recognized by thoughtful wri-
tors and public men. Its responsiveness,
its wealth in all the natural elements,
its active and aggressive life, and above
all it's people, make the west the great
center Of interest. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to find the Century Magazine
exclaiming that mo climax of national
achievement seems difficult of belief
that las Mr.. Gladstone once said that
the center of the worlds interest had
been transferred to America so we may
say that the center of interest of the
new world has been transferred beyond
the Alleghanies. And as the frontier of

present prosperity is the gateway to all

braces more than half of the reading
constituency of the country is likely
