Congress Likely To Review The
Whole Row-President's Letter
Has Only Precipitated Clash Ae-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-That the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy over the
subject OF conservation viii be aired
by committees OF congress is quite
generally believed in Washington. In.
stead OF bringing the controversy 10
an end ii is predicted that President
Taft's letter to Secretary Ballinger in
which Ballinger is sustained in every
particular, with his fight with the for
estry officials, will add fuel to the
flame and result in resolutions of in
quiry being introduced in congress
1t is assumed in some quarters here
since the publication of the Presi-
dents letter TO Secretary Ballinger
that Chief Forester Pinchpts retire
ment from the public service will be
announced scon Some of those who
declare friendship for Mr. Pinehot are
inclined to construe the Presidents
letter as a rebuke to Mr. Pinchot, and
the service over which he Dresides.
According to a statement made here,
Forester Pinchot provoked the Taft
administration long before he fell out
with Secretary Ballinger over the pol
icy of conservation. AS the story
goes, the President was much annoyed
over Mr.. Pinchot's attitude toward the
lumber schedule of the tariff bill. Up
to the time the consideration of the
Payne bill was begun by the house
committee on ways ana means, Mr..
Pinchot was generally set down as an
advocate of free lumber So lumber
men thought, and they argued with
the forester long and earnestly. FL
nally. Mr.. PinchOt came out in let
ter in which he expressed the belief
that he had been convinced that a
tariff on lumber, instead of being hurt
full, would in fact be helpful to the
cause of forest conservation. He
backed up this attitude in personal
appearance before the ways and
means committee. The statement is
made that Mr.. PincEot took this posi-
tion without conference with the
President or any other leader of the
Persons who followed
the progress of the bill in committee
say that had it not been for Mr.. Pin
chot's stand for a duty on lumber

COLUMBIA TO
HAVE BIG CIRCUS
BARNUM AND BAILEY GREATEST
SHOW On EARTH DOWN FOR
-A5Lf DATE.

The early appearance in Columbia
the Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth is the best kind OF
news to those who love the circus.
The date Of the engagement is Thurs
day, Sept 30. and, unlike forme. seas
ons. the parade will not be omitted
( For more than fifty years the Bar
mum and Bailey circus has been the
leader in amusement affairs. In all
big undertakings it has been the pio-
neeT. Almost without exception the
great arenic acts originate in Europe.
They invariably have been introduced
to America by the Barnum and Bailey
management Other circuses have
attempted 10 follow in its path, and
/ from time to time they have picked
up morsel dropped from the Bar
mum and Bailey feast and raised
great cry in advertising it, after the
act had ouJlived its usefulness as a
first season novelty.
Such has been the history of the
circus business in America. The Bar
mum and Bailey circus has originated
the great attractions or searched
them out from distant lands. while
the other shows have copied as best
they could and with Indifferent sue
cess. The Barnum and Bailey man
agement has had this advantage above
all other shows-a prestige and strong
clientele in every land on earth. 1t
has agents in all parts Of the world
ever en- the lookout for novelties p
T. Barnum was the pioneer of the
circus business on an elaborate scale
His succe ssor, James A. Bailey, per-
petuated the Barnum policy. For
many years these two great names
have been lisped by the children and
still live in the memory of men old
and gray.
P. r. Barnum's last words to his
associates practically amounted to
this-"Live, enlarge and improve.
No words of dying father were ever
more faithfully followed by a son.
Today the circus has reached size
that is giving the railroads much con
Germ, and there is a question if i
could be handled by them if it were
larger. 1t has FIVE long trains, enrolls |
l 800 people, employs 700 horses and
possesses a menagerie that embraces
all phases of the animal kingdom. All |
the equipment is new, the parade |
having been designed and
built in Europe.
The program is opened this season ,
with spectacle more brilliant than
ever The acts that follow-alI new
ly brought from Europe and the
given on two stages, in ,
three rings, great hippodrome course
and in the dome of the tent. The
climax of the performance is the act
Of Desperate, who leaps from the
dome of the tent and lands on his
chest. In this rash and wonderful
feat is found the utter extreme of dar
ing Nothing that has gone before
can be compared with it, Another
and wonderfully spectac-
liar performance, is that of Jupiter,
4 magnificent horse, that goes up in
/ balloon and comes down amid
shower of fireworks.
