SAY TAT rs BLOW
WILL Be HEAVY ONE
To Strike in Ballinger-Pin-
chot Row When Ali
Is Settled.
BY JAMES HAY, Jr.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept S.-President
Taft will have his third and final con-
ference this afternoon with Secretary OF
the Interior BaIlinEer regarding not
only the charges made against the de-
partment by Clifford Pinchot. but also
the results Of the Secretary's investIga-
tious into departmental matters on his
recent Western trip.
The certainty that BallinEer has the
Administration support and that Pin
chot is on the wrong side Of the fence
is merely strengthened in well informed
circles here today. Last night the sec
Ond conference between MIR. Taft aud
the Secretary and oscar Lawler, assist
ant Attorney General for the Depart
ment. lasted two hours. Mr.. BaIinRer
seems to be confident that he is the
winner in the fight although ne refuses
20 make any statement about IT,
on good authority It Is said that the
conferences have as one Of their prin-
cipal objects the formulating Of wavs
and means to dispose Of the Pinchot
controversy and its attendant obiec-
tiOnabIe features all at the same time.
II is remembered that it required two
months TO get rid of s. n. D. North
when he was fought by Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor NageL
10 Is the Presidents habit not to strike
until everything IS so fixed that the
blow will be final For this reason there
will be Preliminaries TO go through with
before there IS any oaClal denoue-
mcnt to the fight. After his conference
this afternoon. BallinRer will so West
via Washington and will join the Presi-
dents train at some point in the Rocky
mountain States.
Reports sent out that Ballinger has
been kept waiting around I'm Beverly
and Boston and has not received the
attention he might expect from the
President are totally unfounded Mr.
Taft had him as a guest at luncheon
with him Monday, conferred with him
Monday night, held another conference
with him last night after a tiresoue
day at RrOOkline, and will see him "a
third time this afternoon. BaUinrer
came here voluntarily and tho Presf-
dent has been glad to hear an he rad
to say on the Pinchot matter as well
as other business connected with the
department.
Another conference scheduled for this
afternoon IS one with the Director ~

That Colombia. through the somewhat
mysterious resignation Of Minister
Cortes, followed by the recall Of secre-
tary Pomponio Guzman, is now without
diplomatic representation in the United
States, and that this is the first siguifi-

War and Won High
Honors.

Government officials and others who
have been connected closely with the
coUntTy's history in the last score of
years were shocked to learn this morn
ms OF the death of Lieut. Gen. Henry
Clark Corbin. L. S A, retired.
Although General CoTbin, had been in
poor health for the last two years and
had sought relief at Carlsbad and other
Continental resorts, his friends in the
War Department and IN official life IN
this city, did not expect a fatal termin-
alton OF his illness and the brief dis
patches from New York announcing his
death came as a complete surprise.

the Hotel Martinique. on Monday his
Illness became more marked. and ply
sicians urged him 10 go to the Roose-
welt Hospital and TO submit to the
operation. which was believed TO be his
only resort.
Much genuine grief was shown by
men IN the War Department who had
known General Corbin in the troubIous
times Of the Spanish war, and in the
calmer days when the adiutant gener-
ais office was not the center OF many
storms Scores OF inquiries as to the
truth Of the rumor. which spread quick
ly over the city, were rec I'D by his
friends
Mrs Corbin and former Governor
Myron T. Herrick, OF Cleveland Ohio,
were with General Corbin at the hos
pital when death came. Governor Her
rick was a close friend Of the general
for many years.
