INVESTIGATION
o9cAGYARv OF the INTERIOR
WILL FIGHT PiNcHor's
CHARGES.
PRESIDENT HAS AGREED
ALlEcATIoNS OF CLAWS AND
oThERS WILL De FULLY
PRoDEO.

| WashingtoR-Presid Taft Mon
day yielded to the demands of both
Secretary Ballinger and his critics for
public Investigation OF the whole
subject matter underlying the So
called Ballinser-Pinchot controversy.
Ballinger Monday afternoon served
upon the President virtually an ulti.
matum to the effect that such an in
vestigaion was indeed the price of his
remaining in the cabinet. He m:de it
clear to the President that he was no
longer willing to sit silent in his office
in the Interior Department and wait
for the thing to blow over"
Taft. it is said, reluctantly admitted
the disappointment Of his hope that
the country large would accept as
final his own vindication of Ballinger
In his dismissal of the charges brought
against the secretary of the interior
by L. r. CLAWS. the former special
agent Of the land office. and his con-
clusion that the investigation demand
ed by both sides in this matter was
Inevitable.
Ballinger's attitude in this matter
has the support Of leading Repub-
licans In both branches OF Congress
senator's and representatives - who
feel that, entirely apart from the mer-
its of the controversy itself, a tester.
ing sore OF this character must poison
the whole system Of the party in
power and that 1t is high time to re-
sort to the lance.
These leaders, determined that .
cleansing of this wound Is necessary,
have not hesitaed to go to the White
house and impress their views upon
President Taft Conferences of con-
fidential character. in which members
Of the cabinet, party leaders In both
houses of Congress, and the President
himself have participated. have been
held during the last few days. They
eliminated Monday when Secretary
Ballinger. Attorney General Wicker.
sham and Postmaster General Hitch
cock met in Understands office and
proceeded thence to the White house,
where the matter was laid before the
President.
Ballinger told the President. 1t is
said, that the situation had become In
tolerable to hin, and that though the
constant charges against him had
come from irresponsible persons, he
could no longer sit supinely by. and in
Justice to himself he felt compelled to
insist upon an investigation.
The President was given to under
stand that Ballingers demand carried
with it the Endorsement of both Sec.
retaries Wickersham and Hitchcock.
1t is known that he has the sympathy
also Of other members Of the cabinet.
