PRESIDENT ANXIOUS TO THOR.
QUICKLY PROBE sALLlNGER.
PlNchoT CONTROVERSY.
CONSPIRACY ALLEGED
CONCERTED PLAN TO DIScREDlT
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
POLICIES.

Washington.-Any doubt that the
whole force OF the Taft administra.
ton is to be behind the investigation
demanded Nv both sides of the So
called Balllngcr Pinchot controversy
was dispelled by events in and out OF
Congress Tuesday.
There is now no question that Pres
ldent Taft himself is as eager for the
merciless probing of the whole mat.
ter as hitherto he mas been reluctant
to admit the necessity for it.
A motive much deeper than willing
ness to do Justice to Ballinger is as
cribed to President Taft by senator's.
representatives and others active In
politics.
the sentiments OF Mr.. Taft declare
that he has at last become convinced
Of the truth u what his friends have
been telling Tim for many weeks-of
what he has hitherto laughed at
that there lles behind the attack on
Mr.. Ballinger more or less definitely
organized movement to discredit the
Taft administration. especially by
spreading tho impression that the so
called Roosevelt policies are In un.
friendly hands; that Mr.. Ballinger
was made the target only on the the
CRY that he offered the most vulncr.
able point in the administration.
Because he was 10th to believe that
such propaganda was under way. Mr..
Taft opposed every suggestion from
Mr.. Ballinger or his friends that at
tacks upon :Se Land office should be
met with determination to reach and
expose those responsible.
Though slow to come to decision
II Is known that Mr.. Taft is now In
clined to believe that the criticisms
that have cropped out in many widely
separated localities are . part OF q de
liberate determination to make trou
BILE. which amounts practically to q
conspiracy.
The first ttep in paving the way
for Congressional investigation was
taken Tuesday. Senator Flint intro
duced resolution, which was adopted
directing the attorney general to send
to the Senate all OF the papers In his
possession that relate to the case.
These papers include the report
Of l.. r. CLAWS. the dismissed specia
agent Of the general land office. who
sought to connect Mr.. Ballinger with
the Cunningham coal land cases In Il
manner rejecting upon his integrity
These records are the ones on which
the Prcsiden. based his exoneration OF
bis secretary of the interior.

Jus.le. for Third Colorado Cavalry.

Washington. - Senator Guggenhcim
has been extremely active in calling
attention OF persons Interested In the
fact that the committee on military
affairs OF the Senate should be urged
TO report fayorably on the bill which
restores pensions to the surviving
members Of the Third Colorado cav.
airy. These troops were used for the
purpose OF keeping open communion.
tion between Colorado and tho East
and In protecting the Inhabitants Of
Colorado and contiguous territory
against attacks from Indians. After
the Civil War those Of the Third Colo
RADIO who survived Indian warfare
and its attendant hArdships on the
frontier and desired pensions were
placed on the pension list with their
brethren who were actually At the
front stopping Confederate miMic
balls.
About . year ago these veterans
who drew pensions were stricken from
Tie roll. Tho reason given for this
action was that they had not been
actually engaged In the suppression Of
he rebellion. not having been called
upon to engage In battle With armed
toscss Of the Confcdcracy.
Commanders Of the q. A. r. IN every
section Of tho Union have taken this
natter up and will urge on senator's
and representatives that these dsserv.
