LONDON, Nov. 17.-In report made
today by General Booth, the command
er Of the Salvation Army. declaring
that that organization is unable to take
care of 10 per cent Of the people now
applying TO it for assistance, is revealed
an appalling condition of distress, suf-
fering AM starvation. brought to a
terrible climax by the winter weather
which set in last week.
Hundreds of thousands OF British
workingme bIe-bodied, skilled arti-
sans, willing and anxious to Work-are,
with their families, literally starving
and peTishing.
Inquiry today instigated by General
Booths report reveals the complete
breakdown of the machinery Of the
charitable organizations Of this city.
According to General Booth the situ-
alton today is the worst that he has
faced in hts long period of service IN
the United Kingdom. Poorhouses and
charitable organizations are literally
packed, and as unofficial aduncts to
them, labor colonies have been opened
where men and women are allowed TO
work under prison regulations with no
other remuneration than escape from
starvation. Even these institutions have
been so seriously crowded that appli-
cants are now turned away.
The coming Of severe weather mas re-
suited IN the inauguration at this early
date OF the street demonstrations Of
the unemployed. demonstrations which
do not usually occur before the first
of the year, when the suffering, as IN
past years, caused the shivering, thinly
clad workingmen to parade the streets
carrying banners demanding employ
ment- The demands are now being made
on the government daily, but the au-

Report Says Lawler Wrote
TaffS Exoneration Of Sec
retary Ballinger.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAY HANDLE WORK
Those Higher Up" Think Con-
gressional Investigation Is
Certain 10 Come.

President Taft has reopened the Bal
hnger-Pinchot controversy. according
10 information from the highest
sources today. and Attorney General
Wiokersham has been asked TO present
a written report TO the White House
as 70 whether Ballinger's activities in
the Cunningham coal cases were within
the law.
The President himself Is reviewing the
case and viii decide whether the activ-
tiles OF his Secretary OF the Interior
have been inirnieal 70 the Roosevelt con-
servation policies.
The above news and an authorized
statement BY Chief Forester Pinchot to-
day, IN which he says that ''the Presl-
dent was good enough TO express his
satisfaction with my work. and I am
going ahead with IT," are today's rather
startling developments in the Cabinet
row. Rumors are afioat that Taft will
anticipate the proposed Congressional
investigation OF the Interior Depart
ment by an investigation more search
ing than any that could be Instituted on
Capitol Hnl.
Taft Quietly At Work
Coincfdent with the leaking out Of
the news that Taft hae been quietly al
work on the vexed question since he
returned from his Western trip comes
the news that the Presidents open
letter TO Ballinger in which the Chief
Executive exonerated the Secretary or
the Interior on the CLAWS charges. was
not written by the President at all. but
was prepared at secretary Ballinger's
direction by Oscar Lawler, attorney
general for the Department Of the In
terror.
The original Claws report to the
President contained 5000 words. and
when it was presented TO Taft ar Bev-
erIy it is stated the President called
BalIinger from the West and asked
him to look it over carefully and pre-
pare an answer that the President
could examine in connection with Gla-
Wis lengthy report.
President Signs Letter
Baninger's answer was in the shape
Of the Lawler lette: prepared for the
Presidents signature, and. since ii
seemed to answer all the questions
brought up. the President signed it and
authorized It's publication.
When the CLAWS statement came out
in succinct form in Golfers Weekly. the
President looked It over carefully. II is
stated on the same authority. and called
Attorney General Wickershsm into con
ference. he asked Wickershsm 10 make
a complete report as 10 the legality OF
RaHinger's connection with che Cunning

tion on the following points.
