amusements were added to the pleas

kept a stern hand on some of the
more daring purveyors of pastime in
the excursion district, who had shown
signs of using the general excitement
over reform to open up their noisy
merry-go-rounds and other banned
amusements. Absolutely no attempt
was made to placate the reformers in
any way.

ISSUES A WARNING
Market Master Says PeddIers
Have Been Violating
Ordinance.
WHAT REQUIREMENTS ARE

Farmers and truck gardeners have
been violating the city ordinance rel
alive to peddling before 8 O'Clock in
the morning according to Market Mas
ter Joseph Waterman. Mr.. Walter
man also announced that he intends
to proceed against those who violate
this ordinance in the future by col.
lecting data and turning it over to
City Attorney T. J. Study, furnishing
basis for him to prosecute.
Monday is the only day when the
gardeners may peddle their produce
during the entire day. On the other
days Of the week, peddlers must not
begin operations until after nine
O'Clock in the morning. On Saturday
the time is even more limited. The
peddlers have to cease operations a.
? o'clock in the afternoon. This is
done in order to protect the garden
ers who purchase stalls at the South
Sixth and East End market places.

Atlantic City, n. j., Aug. 16.-Atlan-
tic City officially declared itself free
from all restraint Sunday, and at
tempts made by ministers and re
formers of the city and state to clap
down the lid on Sunday drink, Sunday
baseball and Sunday Boardwalk
amusements failed to degree that
made the efforts of the crusaders al
most a joke.
The usual proportion OF residents
and visitors sat in churches during
services to hear ministers of the
Lords Day alliance. who are holding
the crusade in retaliation for the in
stitution of Sunday baseball. denounce
the saloon men and political powers
who are protecting them in their in
fraction of the law. while the smiling
saloon owners hired extra bartenders
to hand out drinks to all Corners.
Saloons Reap Harvest.
Detectives hunting more evidence
against the violators of the state laws
made the rounds OF saloons, but were
hardly noticed by managers, who
watched, instead, the harvest OF coin
floating from the bibulous of the big
gest crowd in resort history. The ball
game at Inlet park went on blitheiy

that there might be some attempt to

PlNcHOT AND BALLINGER

There is a clash In the methods OF
the secretary of the interior and the
chief forester. Mr.. Pinchot of the
Forestry Service contends that there
is great danger of the land rich in
timber. phosphate. and water power
now belonging to the United States
passing into the hands of capitalists
who will monopolize these products.
Ballinger OF the Interior Department
does not believe that he has the au-
thority to stop the grabbing of the re-
sources OF the nation. Hence the
clash. Viewed impartially it would
seem from the evidence submitted up
to this time that the clash has come
between the Roosevelt and the Taft
point of view as to method. There Is
no doubt that Pinchot is right-but
the question is one of straining the
authority OF his department to cope
with the situation. Taft believes that
the law must be changed. While these
are both perfectly tenable positions
the country under the seven years of
Roosevelt has gotten in the habit of
expecting things to be done II there
is the least chance OF doing them.
There is no doubt that Taft will do
what he thinks he legally can to stop
the land grabbing. the water grab
bling. and the mineral stealing-but
there Is indeed as he himself said a
very decided temperamental difference
between himself and his appointees
and the Roosevelt administration.
There is every reason to hope that
the services Of the Forestry Chief
will not be dispensed with and that
something will be accomplished with
out further friction between Pinchot
and Ballinger.

SEEK EVIDENCE OF FRAUD

Washington. Aug. 16.-The bureau of
forestry and the interior department
each appear to have had their wishes
gratified to a certain extent in regard
to settlement of the coal land cases
in Alaska. according to q belief ex.
pressed by an ofiicial of the latter de-
partment here today that hearings in
the Cunningham group of coal entries
would begin about October II.
This is just two months later than
the date the interior department hoped
to start hearings at which Cunning
ham and his associates were to be
called upon to show cause why their
entries should not be cancelled. The
bureau of forestry must be credited
with the postponement.
Upon the theory that the longer the
delay in holding the hearings the
worse would be the chances of a com.
bination getting ultimate control OF
the lands in question, forestry agents
and certain land Office inspectors ap-
pear to have thrown every obstacle
in the way of a settlement of the Cum
ningham case during the summer.
Agents to Complete Mission First.
The land office. although anxious to
settle the long standing claims and
feeling that IL had the necessary evi.
dence to bring about a cancellation OF
the claims has acceded to the sugges.
ton that agents now in the Alaskan
field be permitted to complete their
Investigations before the hearings
commence.
Determination of the fortunes Of C.
c. Cunningham and his thirty-two as
sociate entrymen accordingly awaits
the return of the engineers from the
coal fields. This postponement does
not necessarily mean that the ugly
story connecting Secretary Ballinger
with undue haste in putting the claims
of the Alaska coal grabbers to the
test is to be stifled. for there is much
bad blood, and persons who would like
to see the hearings postponed for sew
eral months longer still consider that
Ballinger has a secret motive in has
tening them. Their belief is that con-
gress should take hand in the alarm
ing state Of affairs which exists in
Alaska and that no patents should is
sue until the light OF publicity is
turned on strong.
Roosevelt Action Factor.
The proclamation OF President
Roosevelt just before he retired on
March 4. creating new forest reserves
in Alaska, was the agent which sent
the forestry bureau stumbling over the
Cunningham alleged grab. Portions
of one of the new reserves extended
over certain of the claims which the
Cunningham people proposed to take
up for coal, and in searching the in
terror department files for information
concerning this region forestry agents
discovered what they considered to be
precipitate haste In turning over val
liable coal lands to a combination Of
exploiting individuals.
Oficials of the interior department
say there has been no undue haste:
that they considered the entries should
be Cancelled and that they had evil
dence which would enable this action
to be taken.
The interior department makes no
