OF WIckERSHAM
ExONERATES BALLINGER

washington, D. c., Dec Attorney
General Wickersham has decided aIter
: detailed study of all the records IN
volving charges concerning Secretary
pa,,ineer's administration of the 1nte-
rior department, that Ballinger IS en-
titled TO be upheld at every point. HIS
renort, going into the matter IN mucn
aotai1 has been laid before the presl-
dent. who approves it in all us 1ea'
tures. The verdict as between FIN
cbot and Ballinger is therefore hnally
and conclusively in favor OF Balllnger.
The president instructed the attor-
nov general to investigate every par
.ticle of evidence in regard to the case
and to submit to him a legal opinion
IN the actions of Ballinger from the
time he became commissioner OF the
land office up to the present time, COW
er;ng his connection with the Gun
nineham coal claims and all other as
meets of the case. Having made his
Wickersham wrote his
report which upheld Ballinger in every
particular.
Nothing could be broader in its sup
port of the secretary of the interior 1t
goes through the whole business and
upholds him throughout.
Pinchot Will Stay.
The general expectation is that Pin
chot, Notwithstanding this finding, will
determine to remain in the govern
ment service and to continue the for
est administration. Some people who
have given him strong backing
throughout the controversy feel he
ought not to do this. They will urge
him to resign and make public all the
facts which have come into his posses
sion concerning the matters back of
the controversy and force the whole
matter into a new phase, but the al
most universal opinion aside from the
more extreme of the supporters OF the
conservation movement is that Pin
ton.
In that event the controversy will be
ended, unless congress takes steps for
investigation by congressional COM
mittee. 1t is known strong element
is determined to have this step taken,
provided it can be done in such fash
ion as to make it real investigation
held in the open and not mere per-
functory one designed to give endorse
ment to a program of pushing of trou-
BILE. 1t has been open secret for weeks
that the presidents cabinet has been
advising him to let Pinchot out.

WALL STREET TO-DAY.

New York, Oct 23-(Opening)-Th market opened extremely weak and nervous and in the first few minutes than one point in everything traded with heavy buying from strong sources steady after the first few minutes. A occurred in some issues with further fractional losses in others.
 Il a. m.-During the first hour the declines in all issues were general ranging from 1 to points. Selling seemed to. be based largely on the London slump. Rumors that the Har- rfman estate was selling Union Paci- fic also depressed that and allied stocks. With the absolute denial of these stroies and heavy demand lat CT for Steel Common, the tone strengthened and prices improved wig orously.
 Government bonds unchanged; oth- CT bonds lower.
 Closing-The improvement that was noted at the end of the first hour quickly disappeared. In the later trading selling became more vigorous with stocks marked at continual and substantial concessions all around the room. Losses of over points were made in Union Pacific and many oth- stocks Steel lost one point and Great Northern preferred and Northern Pa cific each lost over 3 points.
 Government bonds unchanged; oth- CT bonds lower.

|M'CARREN FOUGHT WAY UP
 FROM POVERTY TO POWER

Senator Patrick Henry McCarren was a Brooklyn boy of the old school He was born in East Cambridge, Mass, in parents moved to Brooklyn with him and his young brother. Charles. settling down in the old Fourteenth ward. That was fifty-six years ago. Since then Senator McCarren's father and his brother Charles, died, but his mother who is now eighty-six years old, liv- ed to see her son become politically famous in his ward in his city, in his State and in his nation
 Senator McCarren was of a rare type. He always stood out in the popular view of as cool-headed, call culating politician. If the i'll opinion of any of his fellow citizens ever wounded his feelings he showed no signs of 1t. Imperviousness to criti- cism was one of the traits with which he was always credited.
 His education he received in Public school No. 1T, which was located in the old Fourteenth ward. He was gradu- ated from this school when he was sixteen years old. He decided that he wanted to start in life as a cooper. He obtained a position as an appren- tice in Heath's old cooper shop, at the corner of North Sixth street and Wythe avenue, then the heart of the great sugar refining industry. He be- came a journeyman cooper at nineteen but did not stick to the business.

 It was in 1881 that Senator McCarren became actively interested in politics, and was elected to the Assembly by the Democrats of the Sixth Assembly district. which took in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards. Tn 1883 he was reelected. and it was during that year that Mrs. McCarren died. leaving him a widower.
