The Chinese are great students, and

HOUSE BREAKERS
I Make Attempt to Enter Windows Of
Two Residences.

It behooves the residents of the bor-
ough to look to their window fasten-
iugs, as there appears to be an cpl
demie of housebreaking. Tuesday
morning at E. A. Fausts residence, a
dining room window was found raised
and chairs near the window pushed
one side There were marks on the
sash where it had been prled up, and
the fastening was broken entirely off.
For some cause, that was evidently
the extent of the operation, as moth
ing was missing in the house.

bALuNGER PREPARES
TO ATTACK PINCHOT

Washington. Dec 30.-The officials
Of the interior department, under the
personal direction of Secretary Bal
linger today are preparing evidence
which the secretary will introduce at
the coming congressional investigation
of the covalled Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy. This evidence, it is stat
ed, not only will cover the official acts
of Secretary Ballinger and his subor-
dinates in their administration of the
public land laws, but will probe thor
oughly into the affairs of>the forestry
service.
One point of attack upon Clifford
Pinchot that Ballinger will probably
make will be charge against the
chief forester to the effect that he
went outside the limits of the law by
including within the national forest
ry reserve a tract of 117,000 acres of
alleged grazing land which was
bounded on one side by a strip of for
est covering only two per cent of it's
aera. 1t will be alleged that this land
was not turned over or deforested and
was not chiefly valuable as forest land
according to the intent of the law.
a joint resolution providing for
congressional investigation will be in
troduced simultaneously in both
houses of congress, probably next
Wednesday.

that he would take up with the JUS

Tracy was given the opportunity of
