WiCkERSHAM FINDS NO
BLAME IN BALLINGER.
Final Phase of the Groundess Charg-
es Published Against the
Secretary of Interior.

Washington, Dec. attorney
General Wickersham has made an ex-
haustive report after thorough in.
vestigation of the administration of
Richard A. Ballinger, both as land
commissioner and as secretary of the
interior. The report, which is now
in the hands of the President, CON-
pletely exonerates Ballinger of any
act, either in Office or during the
brief time he was a private citizen
after leaving the land office, and be-
fore he returned to Washington as
secretary of the interior.
The President did not ask for the
investigation and report. There is
no reason to doubt that he has had
absolute confidence in Secretary Bal
linger from the very beginning of
the controversy, which has come to
be known as the Ballinger-Pinchot
difficulty
1t is inferred that Secretary Bal
linger asked the attorney general to
make an investigation and report to
the President in view of the fact that
one of the special counts in the al
legged indictment against the secre-
tary of the interior, by Louis F.
CLAWS, a former agent of the land
office, was that Attorney General
Wickersham had rendered decision
at one stage of the controversy, over
the Cunningham coal land cases, in
which he overruled the secretary of
! the interior.
The effect of the attorney generals
report, in the opinion of men in the
! official circle here who have been
watching the controversy, is to put
i the whole matter up to Clifford Pin
chot chief forester.
1t is assumed that the President
WILL at a convenient time, communi-
cate the contents of Wickershams re-
port to Pinchot if he has not already
done So Neither Secretary Ballin
ger or Pinchot were in Washington
today.

BOY MUST GO TO
HIGH ALTITUDE.
All That Will Save the Life of the
Second Son of the Duchess of
Marlborough,

London, Dec 3-The Duchess of
Marlborough has cancelled her in
tended trip to New York owing to
the serious condition of her second
son, Lord Ivor Churchill She will
spend the rest of the winter in Swift
zerland, where her eldest son, the
Marquis of Blandford, will join her
at Christmas There seems little
hope of any improvement in Lord
Ivor's health The greatest special
lists in England and on the continent
have been consulted, but the boy
grows weaker daily. The English
specialists declare that the only
chance of saving the boys life is to
take him TO a high altitude. The
duchess has taken houses at various
health resorts and moved about from
place to place upon the hope of re-
storing Lord Ivor's health. The
duchess of Marlborough was Con-
suelo Vanderbilt of New York. While
she and the duke are separated, the
dukes mother. the Marchioness of
Blandford, stands by the duchess, in
sisting that the children shall be
brought up completely under the in
fiuence of the duchess.

GOVERNOR SHAFR0TH
VISITS WASHINGTON.
Defends CoIorado's Title to Lands
Granted State BY Federal
Government.

Washington, Dec 3.-Governor
Shafroth of Colorado. who is in Wash
ington in the interest of clients who
are endeavoring to retkin title to
lands in the Grand valley, expressed
considerable interest in the report of
the interior department and depart
ment of justice that they were con-
sidering the advisability of institut-
ing suit against the state of Colorado
for the price of lands alleged to have
been acquired by it in contravention
of the statute requiring them to be
nonmineral in character.
"A great many of the lands granted
to the state by the government were
taken fifteen years ago. said the
governor "At that time most of them
were far from any railroad and were
reported by the government agents to
be fit only for farming purposes.
Coal may have been found on
some of these tracts, but l do not be-
l,eve the state is holding any large
amount of lands thus acquired If
such happens to be the case am
| sure the state has been innocent of
any wrongful acquisition; in fact. !
recall that very many of the socalled
/ lieu lands which the state was re.
quired to accept, when formerly al
lotted sections had to be relinquished
/ because Of their falling in forest re-
! serves and Indian reservations, were
considered to be almost worthless at
the time they were granted. The gov
ernment duly exempted such land as
! showed coal groupings"
Governor Shafroth expressed the
belief that the government would not
! follow the recommendation made by
! the land agents that suits be brought
against the state.
Former Senator Teller is also OF
| the opinion that the government will
recognize the innocence of Colorado s
officials in connection with the min
! eral land allegation. He believes
| that all lands granted to the state
after due reports that they were non
mineral, can be retained by the state
| even if their mineral character has
since developed.
The government has no right tc
sue for lands which it's own agents
/ inspected and reported as nonminera
dnd of which grants wefe made,
said Senator Teller. "The statute
expressly provides that lands held tC
be nonmineral should be taken ant
does not specify that they shall be
returned if coal Or other minerals are
subsequently discovered"

Much Suffering VIII Result on

st. Paul, Dec. 3-Conditions at
the local terminals affected by the
strike of switchmen are still in bad
shape today. More strike breakers
were put to work this morning but
no volume of business was done and
the congestion of freight and passen-
ger traffic was very little relieved.
With a cold wave lowering over Mon
tana and blizzard raging, it is fear
ed much suffering will result because
OF the depletion of the coal supply
unless traffic conditions are improy-
ed very soon. The Northern Pacific
was able to get two coal trains over
its Montana division, but both for its
own use. Superintendent F. d,
Kelsey said that full switching crews
will be at work at all points OF the
Dakota division of the Great North
ern today. The yardmaster of the
