Secretary Ballinger stated that his
orders of Withdrawals do not protect
power sites within forest reservations
and added in explanation. that pre-
viously he had offered to include pow
er sites on forest reservations, but
that the offer was declined on the
ground that the forest service could
take care of such sites. The secretary
asserted that a number OF factors caus-
ed his course to be misunderstood and
misrepresented, but some of these he
was not at liberty to discuss.

Chairman Cashel Says Demo.
cratic Body Could Accom-
plish Nothing by Meeting

Grafton, N. D., Nov. S.-According
to j. l.. Cashel, chairman of the state
Democratic central committee, that
body will not meet to consider the
question of the appointment of a sue
cessor to United States Senator NJ. N.
Johnson. The report which went out
from Bismarck Saturday evening to
that effect was based on the fact that
such move had been contemplated,
but which had been abandoned after
consideration was given.
"A meeting of the committee at this
time would have no particular effect
upon the question" said Chairman
Cashel. "It has been said that there
is a candidate for the appointment
from every county in the state, and
that from some there are two candi-
dates, but this is probably somewhat
strong for there are only about ten
or twelve in the field. Each of the
candidates would have his following
and when the committee met the only
result would be to refer the entire
matter to the governor and he would
then be in the same position he now

'BALL|NGER TO
STAND BY ORDER
Revocation of Garfield Order
on Water Power Sites Pro-
motive of Conservation

Washington, Nov. S-Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger's widely discus
sed revocation of the famous Gar
field order" withdrawing from settle
ment million and a half acres of
public lands and the substitution there
for OF a withdrawal order withhold
ing from settlement 100000 acres, to-
day was declared by Mr.. Ballinger to
have been wholly promotive. not sub
versive, of the conservation policy.
A lengthy explanation of this con-
collation. of the Garfield withdrawal
was given to the press by Mr.. Bal
linger, who asserted that it was a
logical step in the prosecution of the
policy of conserving the water power
on the federal domain and one which
Mr.. Garfield must have taken himself
had he remained in Office.
"The first order was blanket with
|drawal issued to meet an emergency
and without taking time to ascertain
just where the power sites We're To-
Gated" Secretary Ballinger said. en-
|telligent prosecution of the policy de-
manded that as soon as possible there
after these sites be located and the
lands not needed to protect them be
restored to entry. 1t would be an un-
warranted reflection on Secretary Gar
field to assume that he would not have
done precisely what did, ascertain
as soon as practicable where the
power sites were actually located and
issue new order withdrawing them
from settlement and restoring to entry
all lands not needed for that purpose.
Il found that by utilizing the geo.
logical survey instead of the reclama-
ton service which had been employed
by my predecessor, could secure ac-
curate information as to the location
of the power sites. On consultation
with the legal officers of my depart
ment found that l could make with
drawal orders retroactive, that is, that
1 could issue withdrawal orders later
which would effectually protect any
power sites which night have been
made in the interim. The retroac-
tive provision of the subsequent with
drawals operated completely to con-
serve the sites.
"Not single power site has passed
out of the possession of the govern
ment during this administration" con-
tinued the secretary. "As matter of
fact, the Withdrawals ordered by me
protected forty per cent more power
sites than were conserved by the Gar
field order. This implies no criticism
Fof the Garfield order and merely shows
that the Garfield order was tentative.
My first withdrawal order was dat
ed May 4, 1909. and the last which I

that he would ask that it be trans

May because he would not be able to
have his case In shape at that time.

NAVAL PROGRAM
Turkish Parliament Will Consider the
Question at Session.

Washington. Nov. S.-The Turkish
ministry will urge upon the Ottoman
parliament when it reconvenes No
vember Is, the adoption of naval
program. providing for the eXpendi-
ture within the next seven years of
$100.000,000. According to this pro-
gram, it is learned here that seven
battleships of the North Dakota type
would be constructed, together with
a number of torpedo destroyers and
one hospital ship.
For the next fiscal year an appro-
priation of $12.O00O0O to begin the
construction of two of the proposed
warships will be asked. 1t will prob

loans in addition to the one closed
this fall. The decision of the min
istery is said to be in keeping with
the general attitude of the people.
Contributions to public fund for
the construction of battleships are
said to be pouring in by tn thousands.

man Earl D. Wilson, quarterback of

! After once abandoning the opera
tion as practically hopeless. the sur
geeons at,,the naval hospital where
Wilson has been since he was injur-
ed. held another consultation this
morning and determined to perform
it. Wilson, who has retained his
mental faculties and been in a cheer
full mood all along. was anxious for
the operation, although he did not
realize the full seriousness of his
condition. The operation consuming
nearly two hours. was performed by
Surgeons s. F. Stokes, ]. H. Iden. E.

ent. Later the following statement
was issued:
THE operation was successful in
every way: Parts of the laminae of

vical vertebrae were removed. and
pressure from bone fragments re-
lieved. The casing of the spinal cord
was opened and careful inspection
made. 1t was found that the cord
had been dangerously compressed be-

dislocation of that vertebrae. All in
