OFFICIALS REPORT
AID TO BALLINGER
Inspector CLAWS, of Interior
Department, Has Talk
With President.
By JAMES HAY, il.

BEVERLY. Mass. Aug 22.-AIthough
official combination Of the report is
withheld at the Executive offices here.
it is said on good authority TODAY that
within the last two DAYS Special In
spector CLAWS, OF the Interior Depart
ment came to Beverly and made to the
President a fun and detailed report on
the situation regarding the Cunningham
coal claims in Alaska. This is one of
the most important echoes vet heard OF
in the strife between Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger and Forester Pipchot
over the handling of public lands in the
West
On equally good authority il Is further
reported that whit CLAWS SAID served
to exonerate Mr.. Bauinger from any
wrong-doing in the course ne has pur
sued in following out the policy of this
Administration. The impression re-
mains firm here that the President has
found nothing TO swerve him from his
course of supporting the Secretary and
disappearing the tart criticisms to which
Pinchot has subjected BalllngeF.
The charge has been made that Mr..
Ballinger was too closely identified with
the Cunningham group of coal claims
in Alaska before ne became a member
of the Cabinet. and after he severed
his connection with the Government in
the Roosevelt Administration as COM
missioner OF the Land Onice. Mr.. Bal
fingers friends. however. have ex-
planned that ne refused to act as mem
Der OF the Cabinet on these claims, and
left the work to his subOTdinates
According to information obtsinable
in Beverly today, CLAWS not only made
a report which exonerated BallinEer
from the slightest suspicion Of miscou-
duct while he was an attorney for tile
Cunningham interests, but also showed
that he has followed the proper course
since he went into the Cabinet.
The reported visit of CLAWS to Beverly
at this time shows the interest he
President has taken in the fight be-
tween BalIinger and Pinchot. and lnGi-
Gates his determination to enforce the
laws as they stand on the statute books.
He is also in sympathy with the Secre-
tary of the Interior in the purpose 10
ask further legislation from the next
session of Congress il it is found, after
thorough investigation, that the con-
servation policy requires such action
For this reason it seems TO friends Of
the Administration now that the only
hope the friends Of Mr.. Pinchot have to
GUST Ballinger is 10 show that he was
improperly connected with the Cunning
ham coal claims in this. They have not
succeeded up to the present time. and
they viii have to hustle with evidence
and bring it forward II # is in Their
possession
Just what legislation is required Of
Congress for the promotion Of the CON
servation plan will not be decided until
after the President has made his tour
Of the West and has returned 10 Wash
ington in November.

TAFT HAS CONFERENCE
ON TRUST CONTROL
Mass Of Executive Business Piles Up and Breaks in On
the Presidents Usual Sabbath Quiet at
Beverly Cottage.

! believes that he can order those men
at any time to investigate, for instance.
the difference in cost between produc-
ton Of articles here and abroad and TO
report to him what the tariff rates
should be to meet this difference.
In this way he would pe in a position
~ know at Just what figures the tariff,
rates should lie fixed to recommend to
Congress, if he believes it just, changes
in any schedules found to be excessive
ly high
When he does this he VIII put on foot
the first scientific movement in the his
tory OF this country to determine by
exact investigation the difference be
tween tie cost Of production here and
abroad, and TO show the country where
tariff rates arc unjust and excessive.
It is the boast Of the Republican plat
form and Republican orators that the
rates are fixed so as to protect the
American manufacturer only against
cheaper labor and production in foreign
cOuntrieg. If The investigations OF Mr..
Tsft's board show that the rate of pro-
lection is III excess of this principle.
and, therefore. needless, it will be evil
dent that protection is carried too far.
From this arises the clear pos sibility
that the Taft Administration may DO
more tariff revising than was accom-
plished the extra session Of Congress
Just ended.
The President will take an automobile
ride late this afternoon if the confer
ence with the members Of the Cabinet
is ended in time. He had TO give up
the ride yesterday because the meeting
lasted until 1:30 O'Clock in the evening.

BY BILLY BRoGAN.

Don't send your boy away to school

versity. Until then he needs home in
fluence. There are cunning tempers
waiting at the boarding school to lead
your inexperienced son into mischievous
and immoral conduct. Robbing neigh
bors chicken roosts. playing card during
study periods, roughhousing, taking
from the dining room, visiting indecent
houses, telling smutty yarns, reading
trashy books, being pert to professors,
using Ponies in translation of langua-
ges. excessive drinking, night prowling
and prank playing, dishonesty in school
routine, cheating in examinations, spend
thriftlness, laxitudinarism, stubbornness,
carelessness, slowfulness and many other
unthought of ventures and qualities are
gradually inducted into the tender
youths life and without him realizing
the fact his future prospects are ruined.
The story is told Of boy who stole
into painters shop and accidently let
drop of black paint fall into pot of
white. He thought by stirring the white
paint the spot of black would disappear,
but as he stirred he noticed the whole
pot Of white was gradually changing
to darker hue. 1t is hard to get the
black drops out once they have fallen
in. Statistics show that in lower grades
there are many pupils, but in higher
grades there are found very few and
still fewer reach graduation, this is
largely because the worm of careless
