BALuNGER MAKES STATEMENT
Enters Most Emphatic Denial Of the
Requirement Of Water Power Sites
BY Private Parties.

Washington.-Secretary Ballinger
OF the interior department, who has
returned to Washington after an ex-
tensive tour of inspection of the pub
lie domain and interests in the far
west, under the jurisdiction of his de-
partment, gave out on Wednesday q
statement which Is regarded as a
declaration of his policy as to these
matters.
The secretary reiterates, without
fear Of contradiction" the statement
hitherto made in his behalf, "that
since his incumbency no water-power
sites on the public domain heretofore
Withdrawn have been secured by pri-
vate parties, and that he has ener-
getically made every effort by tempo
rary Withdrawals to segregate exist
ing power sites on the public domain,
In order to enable congress to legis-
late for more prudent disposition"
Secretary Ballinger states that dur
ing his trip most of the principal
government reclamation projects have
been visited some OF them by the sen
ate committee on irrigation. The wa
ter users and settlers upon the recla-
nation projects have been conferred
with as well as questions which may
involve the improvement Of the serv-
i've and the advancement Of the In
terests Of the settlers"
Respecting reclamation work, the
studies made by the secretary have
inspired him, the statement says, with
ambition to complete existing pro-
jects as rapidly as business prudence
and moneys available will permit, and
he is earnestly In favor of securing
authority from congress for the issu-
ance of bonds against the reclamation
funds to give the service the means
whereby all existing projects can be
speedily completed and necessary ex'
tensions undertaken"

SUGAR TRUST MAY ESCAPE.
Decision Which May Overthrow En-
tire Case of Government.

New York.-A judicial opinion
which appears likely to overthrow
the governments entire criminal
case under the antitrust law against
the American Sugar Refining com.
pany and its directors, was handed
down by Justice Holt of the United
States circuit court here on Tuesday.
Justice Ho,t, In Diminishing the in
dictments against Gustav r. Kissel
and Thomas b. Harmed, accused
with the sugar company of con-
spiracy In restraint OF trade, declares
that the operation Of the statute of
limitations invalidates any action
against them inasmuch as lne offense
was committed more than three
years ago.
1t was pointed out that this same
argument would apply with equal
force to the indictments against the
other defendants and that similar ac-
ton probably would be taken shortly
In their behalf.

TOWN SLIPPING INTO CANYON.
Has Already Moved Down Hill
Eleven Feet Within Few Years.

Reno, Nev.-That the old mining
camp of Virginia City is sinking into
the deep canyon on the side of which
1t Is located and that 1t has already
slipped down hill eleven feet within
the last few years was the startling
announcement made by Professor
George J. Young, head Of the mining
and geological department of the Uni
versity of Nevada on Wednesday,
Professor Young states that the
steady sinking is due to the old
underground timbering in the Com
stock mines. placed there fifty years
ago, which is gradually crumbling
and is responsible for the phenome-
ma. He also predicts catastrophe
at any moment unless steps are
taken to prevent 1t. Only a few
days ago an old "glory hole caved
in and left an opening in the ground
several hundred feet in depth.

SMALL SIZED WAR III GREECE
Revolt Led by One Determined Man
Was of Short Duration, But
Warm While II Lasted.

Athens.--After almost two thou
sand years-when Themistocles gain
ed a memorable victory over the Per
sians-Salamis again on Friday was
the scene of naval battle.
The fight lasted twenty minutes,
and was between field batteries and
big warships on one side and mutt
nous band of naval officers, which
quilted the capital Wednesday, with
torpedoboat on the other.
A sharp exchange of shells followed
the first shots Some projectiles
struck the arsenal building. but only
one shell hit a torpedo boat the
Sphendora, which Immediately was
enveloped in a cloud of smoke.
The torpedo.boats gradually retired
until they obtained shelter OF the
headland, when firing ceased The
rebel vessels returned the fire OF the
warships and field batteries, but APP
parently little damage was done on
either side. The rebels were led by
Lieutenant Tibaldos and are reported
to have numbered 800 men,
Lieutenant Tibaldos appeared to
have been actuated by his disapproval
of the tactics OF the military league
and the junior naval officers in con
senting to. negotiate "a compromise OF
the ultimatum recently issued by the
military league for an ordinance sus-
pending all promotion fer five years
and abolition OF the posts of rear adj
miral, vice admirals and fifteen places
of lesser rank.
Tibaldos took prominent part In
the military movement last August.
He was the first officer to go to the
camp at Could, outside the city, after
the premier's refusal TO receive
deputation of officers, and he subse-
quently was appointed commander OF
the rebel camp.
Athens.-Four British warships
have arrived at Phalerum, near Pr
aeus. The rebellion, for the time be
ing at least, is at an end, and the last
of the naval vessels in the hands OF
the mutinous naval officers was re-
covered when the torpedo boat de
stroyer Velos returned to the arsenal
Saturday night. Lieutenant Tlbaldos,
however, who was the leader in the
recent movement, is still at large.

BURN THE BALLOTS.
ENGLISH suFERAGETTEs FAIL IN
SPECTACULAR ENoEAvoR TO
INvALIDATE ELECTION.
Woman Throws Acid on Ballot Box
But Only Succeeds In Burning
Election Officers and Causing
Her Own Arrest.

London.-Mrs. Chaplin, suffra-
gette, furnished an early morning
thrill at the Bermondsey by-election
on Thursday, when she smashed a
bottle containing corrosive acid on a
ballot box.
Her intention evidently was to de-
stroy the ballots In the box as a pro-
test against the exclusion of women
from the right of franchise. What
she accomplished was the painful
burning OF some of the election OFF,
GERS and the assurance of her own ar
rest. 80
Slipping into one of the booths
where perhaps 1000 ballots had been
deposited, Mrs. Chaplin drew from un-
der her cloak bottle in which ink
had been mixed with corrosive acid
and before she could be stopped,
hurled the bottle upon the box. 1t
broke into many pieces and the acid
splashed upon the election officers.
A number of these were so severely
Injured as to require medical atten.
ton.
About the same time a similar out
rage was attempted at another booth
by a girl who wore the suffragette COL
ors. In the later instance little dam
age was done beyond the burning Of
the finger tips of the election officials
who removed the bits of broken glass.
Later, in an interview, Miss Christ
abel Pankhurst, while deploring the
wounding of the officials, asserted
with much emphae'g:
1T is the COVE "nment that is re-
sponsible. 1t is the government that
drives women to these acts"

MANY LOST At SEA
MISTAKE OF MAN AT WHEEL
BELIEVED TO BE CAUSE OF
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Steamer Destroyed on Shoal Of
Coast Of Maine, Out Of Forty Per-
sons Aboard Only Six Positively
Known to Have Been Saved.

Eastport, Me.-Twenty lives, and
perhaps more, were lost on Tuesday
in the destruction on a shoal off Seal
cove Of the Donaldson line steamer
Hestia, bound from Glasgow for St.
Johns and Baltimore. -Four of the
victims, young Scotch boys, were
passengers and the others were mem
bers OF the crew. Captain Newman
and twenty or more of the crew were
last seen in a ships boat which was
being tossed on the stormy sea.
Or the forty persons who were
aboard the steamer when she piled
up on the shoal early Tuesday, only
six are positively known to have
been saved. They were forced to
cling to the wreck, shifting their pre-
carious positions as the steamer was
tossed by the seas. 1t was not until
8 p. m. that lifesavers were able to
man their boats and reach the
stranded vessel.
A heavy northeastery gale is be.
lieved to have been responsible for
the Hestia's fate, although 1t is sup
posed that mistake of the man at
the wheel in believing he had picked
up Camel Rock light while really
discerning the CLEANS of the light,
house on Machias Seal island, sew
eral miles southwest, carried the shiu
many miles off her course.
