Washington Nov. &c. Omitted
Press. )-"There's going to be some
fireworks on the hill this winter, -
said a western senator who dropped
into town the other day after having
casually inspected the now-famous
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy from
afar.
81 didn't get near enough TO the
row to stop any of the shells. but
YOU can put it down now that there
will be plenty OF them flying around
the capitol this winter" he remark
ed. "And say" he added. 81 would
not have the presidents job right
now for a lot of money"
Everyone is waiting the word
from the white house and wondering
what Taft will do.
Here's the situation: Last sum-
mer several newspapers criticized
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
for his wholesale restoration of the
Garfield conservation Withdrawals of
public lands The cry was taken up
at the National Irrigation congress
at Spokane. where Ex-Governor Par
dee. of California, charged that Bail
niger had delivered the west into the
hands of the water power trust.
Then L. r. CLAWS, a land office
agent. who had been investigating
some Alaskan coal claims which he
believed to be fraudulent and in the
interests of which Ballinger had
once appeared as attorney. went to
the president with what he thought
was evidence that Ballinger was try
ing to rush the claims to patent de-
spite testimony that they were ille-
gal The president exonerated Ball
niger In an open letter and fired
CLAWS. CLAWS then made his charges
public.
Taft's way of doing things Is diff
ferent from Roosevelt's and the men
whom Taft has put into Office are OF
a distinctly different type from these
who surrounded Roosevelt. Balm
ger can be said to represent the
Taft type. A lawyer, conservative
the administration. Pinchot Is a
Give wire" of the Roosevelt policies.
Those who try to dope out" In
advance what will happen, think that
Taft will make one more effort 10
bring Pinchot and Ballinger into
harmonious relations with each other
They predict that he will get Ball
niger and Pinchot together and slap
each on the back and say, Look
here. you are both jealous for the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country. You are both good
fellows. but you go at II In a different
way. This sort of thing Is disturb
ing to my administration. You both
are working toward the same end
Get together Forget 1t and pull in
one direction"
II the president fails to bring
Plnchot and Ballinger together, he
will probably ask congress to invest
igate. Congress will probably in
vestlgate anyhow and so. by request
ing the investigations. Taft would pass
an uncomfortable situation over Il
the capitol.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 ANTI-TUBERCUL0SIS TONIGHT

Members of the Tuberculosis League of Montgomery will hold their first annual meeting in the chamber of the City Council tonight at o'clock when the important business of the evening will be the election of offlcers for the ensuing year. Reports of the various committees of the organization will be read, and the year begun with every member enthusiastic over the progress which has oeen made.
 It is thought that pr. Gaston Greil, who has been the effcient head of the organization since its foundation through hts efforts year ago, will not be q candidate for reelection. He will not give up the work of the society, however, for he will in all probability have as much active work as was the case last year. 1t Is said that he will be made the chairman of the advisory committee of the League. provided he win not accept Q re-elsction as the of- hcial head of the Society.
 As far as can be learned no one has been slated for the presidency of the organization. It is the opinion of the members that the election of a head of the organization should be as spontan- eous as possible, and for this reason little. if any, canvassing has been done.
 It is hoped that tonight's meeting will find a large attendance in the City Councils chamber. as the meeting will be full of importance for those inter- ested in the anti-tuberculosis move ment.

SISTER GIVES
 OPPOSITION Brothers Are Seeking for
 Pardon. UP FOR TWENTY YEARS Jesse and Isaac Shirley Killed Sisters Husband. Sanss ssitA was sAst h aaenree Csu.ty Alter . Fsua Haa Dx- ssssa Betwes. tAs
 Fanallaes.
 

0eutenced to twenty years imprison- msut, mainly through the testimony of their own sister. whose husband they wers charged with Killing. Jssse and IAac Shirley, of Monroe County, are opposed. in their efforts after . pardon. again by the sister.
 The Shirley girl married James smith with . feud between the families: \ Smith had killed Shirley once before.
 James Smith was shot in 1904 and the two shirley brothers were charged with the assault. For eighteen months Smith fingered before he died. and. be- cause man .must die within . year and . day after injury to mako out . charge of murder, the two Shirleys were tried for assaurt with intent to murder. They were sentenced to twen- ty years each. In 1905.
 And now comes their prayer for . pardon. on which the Pardon Board worked throughout yesterday morning. Again this morning 1t viii be taken up, when Mrs. Smith herself will ap- pear.
 Shirley adherents charge that Mrs. Smith was influenced by the brother of her husband, D. K. Smith, In testify- ing against her own brothers. D. K. Smith was the one wno shot . Shirley some time before.
 The Board asked that Mrs. Smith be summoned and work on the case was suspended until today, when she will probably appear to answer the charges
 The Shirleys and Smiths are both prominent families of Monroe County residing not far from Monroeville. Be- cause of the prominence of the parties and because of sensations attached to the feud, intense interest follows that :ase.
