Significance of Form of Inquiry.

The Joint committee will consist of six
members Of the Senate and six members
Of the House Of Representatives, and will
be empowered to send for persons and
papers and, in fact, to do almost anything
1t wishes that by any possibility may
throw any light on the conduct of af-
fairs in the general land Office when Mr.
Ballfnger was commissioner, and in the
Interior Department since he has been
a member of the Presidents cabinet.
As joint resolution. after passing both
houses Of Congress. must be signed by
the President to become effective, it has,
when SO approved. all the force and eff
feet Of regular statute law. And this is
exactly what is desired.
1t is pointed out that in the event of
a witness called before a committee Of
either or both houses Of Congress, under
simple or concurrent resolution Of in
quiry. refusing to testify, the process Of
forcing the recalc trant person to tell
what he knew would be tedious and cum
bersome in the extreme. But joint con-
gressional committee. operating under a
Joint resolution Of both houses, signed
by the President. would have back Of it
all the legal machinery of the United
States to aid in the accomplishment Of
the desired PURPOSE.

Taft Assumes Responsibility.

After discussing all phases OF the Bal
linger-Pinchot row, now recognized as
having reached the acute stage, the Presi-
dent. who not long ago came out with as
sweeping an Endorsement of Secretary
Ballinger as ever an accused member of
the cabinet has received, insisted that
the responsibility of passing upon Mr..
Ballingers conduct be not put entirely
up to Congress. He insisted OH what he
considers his proper share.
The significance Of the decision to make
the inquiry under joint resolution is this:
While under the simple resolution Of
the Senate or the House. the investigation
of Mr.. Ballinger WOULD be conducted only
by the body in which such a resolution
originated; and while under concurrent
resolution the inquiry would be broad
ened to cover both branches. thus making
the inquiry a purely congressional one.
under a joint resolution the case resolves
itself into one of 'the federal government
against Secretary Of the Interior Bal
linger,'

SOMi INTERESTING FACTS

While worlds championship base.
Oall title has been at stake almost
every year since 1854. II iS only within
recent years that the playing of such
mas been MADE compulsory BY the
highest power OF organized baseball
New York Giants refused TO play the
Boston Americans for the honor in
1904. Their refusal was perhaps in
duced by the fact that up to the very
last game II looked as If the Yankees
would wia the Ban B. Johnson bunt
ing McGaw disdained TO recognize
his local rival at that time.
II was not until the winter of 1906
that the National commission took n
stand on the question by this time
the ill-feeling between the rival ma
1or leagues had almost subsidized The
respective presidents of the leagues
Johnson and Pulliam. decided that a
worlds championship was the proper
sort OF finale to the big league sea-
son. Since then the commission has
become more aud more interested In
the project, until this year, for the
first time. the supreme body absolute

AS the worlds series are now con-
Quoted. the players OF the respective
clubs share in the receipts OF the first
four games only. Tie games, prior
10 the winning of four victories, like
wise benefit the players, The Ma
uonal commission takes 10 per cent
of the receipts for these four games.
Sixty per cent of the residue goes TO
the individual members of tho re
spective teams. Tho club owners
each take 20 per cent OF tho 90 per
cent. For all game more than the
specified four the club owners take
40 per cent each and the National
commission 10 per cent
The financial virtue of a pennant
to champion teams may be appreciat-
ed by the fact that last year each
Cub received S1.317.5S, and each Tiger
$50. 1t was the first time that the
commission forbade the giving os
bonuses by club owners. The receipts
for the individuals of the rival partici-
pants are generally divided 60 per
cent 10 the winner and 80 per cent TO
the loser Last year was an eXcep-
tionally poor one from the standpoint
of patronage, because OF Detroit's poor
showing against Chicago the previous
year Undoubtedly this years indi-
vidual receipts for the players will far
exceed those OF 1908.

Winter. following Mr., Lindsay for the
defendants,
Consider that the power OF the
president Is greater than that of any
crowned king" said Mr. Winter, "and
the District of Columbia, being the
seat of government, is inhabited by
many persons dependent upon the
government machinery for their live
lihood, consider that this libel pro
ceedlng was brought about by an In
flammatory message from the former
president 10 congress- consider that
the whole immense power OF the eX-
ecutiye department is behind this In
dictment and. finally, consider that
these defendants, II taken TO the Dis
trict of Columbia for trial should have
TO appear before jury largely made
up OF employees and ofIiceholders OF
the very machinery that Is behind this
prosecution"
Mr.. Winter argued also that the
statute of seditious libel in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which provides eX.
ceptionally severe fines and imprison-
ment, was not intended to cover such
examples of libel as that charged
against Messrs. Smith and Williams.
Further, he should provide for remov-
