the trouble everywhere is either tho
utter absence OF care by the sttGe

BALLINGER SAYS
THAT HE IS RIGHT

Helena, Mont, Aug. 10. AS long as
any public lands remain TO be admin

clared Secretary Of the Interior Bal"
linger today. speaking of the recent
controversy at Spokane and the com.
plants concerning the reclamation
service.
NO two persons are constituted
alike and there Is always ample oppoT-
tuuity for disagreement. Some of the
settlers on the reclamation projects
were ignorant of the conditions which
would confront them and they settled
IN tho land IN the expectation Of reap
Ing fortune without the necessity of
understanding irrigation methods,
They have been d.sillusioned and now
desire the government 10 release them
from their contracts and to reimburse
them for their expenditures.
Such difficulties are TO be expected
when a new work IS taken mp, and
they should not be allowed TO assume
too much Importance when The whole
work g taken into consideration.

RESULT OF WAR
IS NOT KNOWN

Boston, Aug 19-The war game
which has been conducted in south
eastern Massachusetts during the past
week ended today. but whether BoS-
ton. which was the objective point of
the invading army under Brigadier
General Tasker n. Bliss was really
captured theoretically. or whether the
Massachusetts troops, commanded by
General William A. Pew. succeeded in
repusing the attack of the Reds and
blocking the path of Boston, Is still
mystery
Tonight the head OF the army Of ia
vaSlon was at AS6onet while the head
OF General Pew'S army was not moro
than 200 yards distant and was said by
the Blue officers TO occupy a position
where 1t could rake with deadly fire
the troops of the Red should an ad-
vance be made along that road.
The Reds began the lighting early
by throwing their left wing against
the right of the Blues. which were
gathered in considerable strength.
For three hours the fighting contin-
ued fercely and the Blues held back
the Red attack. The umpires decided
TO set the Red back a short distance
Troop OF the Massachusetts, cavalry
succeeded in creeping through a piece
of woods after having dismounted. and
captured two field guns and shot"
forty horses of the New York field ar
tillery. which had been shelling the
Blues from the rear center.
AS the cavalry were making on and
taking with them the captured guns the
Connecticut infantry fell upon them,
captured about half the troops and re-
captured the guns.
EARLY on Move.

strength against the Red army of in
vasion, in the mimic war now being
waged in Massachusetts. with the cap.
ture OF Boston as the object OF the
invaders, the Blue army OF defense.
composed wholly of Massachusetts
militiamen, was early on the move to-
day. The general indications were
that today would see the decisive bat
tie of the campaign somewhere in the
neighborhood OF the historic towns Of
Plymouth and DuXbury.
When hostilities closed yesterday
the invading army. under command of
Mdlo1 OenSldl uSkeI II. Bliss WAS
massed against the left wing of the
Massachusetts army, commanded by
Brigadier General William A. Pew
General Pew's defeat was generally
expected by experienced observers. un-

Blue army against the entire Red
strength

CURTISS AYERTS
COLLISION In AIR

RhelmS. Aug 19,-Glen II. CuTtlSS
at sundown today added dramatic
feature to the trial flights OF aero
planes entered for the contests of avI.
alton week by slilliully guiding his
machine above another aeroplane, thus
averting a collision.
The feature was accomplished when,
for the first time in history three
heavier-than-alr craft we're maneuvcr-
ing together at the, same time. All
were flying rapidly, when suddenly
Curtiss saw NJ Dumanset In an An
toinette monoplane approaching at
right angles and on the same level
with him Curtiss. realizing the dan
ger. elevated his plane His machine
instantly shot upward and scared
safely over the Frenchman.
Spectators watched the maneuvef
with bated breath, but when they saw
il wns successfully and brilliantly car.
ried out they applauded the American
wildly The third machine in the air
at this time was that OF NJ. Tissan-
der.
Exports tonight were agreed that
Mr Curtiss had made a fine demon.
stration of his skill and ability to con.
troll his machine. They declare that
his bi-plane was a real racer.
The wind. which had been blowing
for two days, suddenly died out al
sundown and the aviators rushed TO
the sheds and dragged out their ma
chimes. Count de Lambert, In a
Wright machine, was the first TO start
and make a complete circuit of the
aerodrome. NJ. Tissandier. also on a
Wright b-plane. followed him.
Curtiss Is confidant.
Then the Curtiss machine. looking
smaller and more compact than the
others. was placed in position for a
flight tn
Where will YOU land?' Curtiss was
asked.
Il will land right here he an.
swered. and he started his motor.
After a short run over the ground
the aeroplane ascended and made g
wide turn and then described evolu.
tions back and forth over the aero
drome
True to his word he landed without
accident at his place OF starting after
having been in the air four minutes.
The altitude reached By him was $50
feet-flfty feet hiehere than any OF tho
others. Count de Lambert and III, TiS-
sander each made flights OF twelve
minutes during the evening. and HUI
bert Latham took few short spins
about the course.
AmcrlcansTs Satisfied,
Mr.. Curtiss said: 81 am entirely
satisfied with MY acroplane, which
the recent accident has not in any
wise hurt. | used an eight-cylindcr
motor The only trouble experienced
was with the propellers, which re.
yolved so fast that the draft from them
strained the rudder This. however,
can be remedied for future flights by
Strengthening the ruddeT.'
Mr. Curtiss joined the other experts
in a statement to the effect that avia-
ton Is a fine weather sport, but that
we must not expect flights in all sorts
of weather. Personally, Mr.. Curtiss
said. he did not intend TO take any
risks. He has decided not TO enter the
passenger-carrying test, as he has no
hope of defeating Bleriot In it, He
intends, instead, to devote himself TO
the speed contests.

HOW CADET ROLANDO
. SUTTON WAS HAzED

West Point, y. Y, Aug. 20.-Follow
ing Is a brief review OF the hazins OF
Cadet Rolando Sutton. which resulted
I'm the dismissal of seven cadets:
On the morning of June Ii, last
Cadet Sutton OF the Fourth, OF plebe
clss. brother of Lieut.. Sutton of the
marine corps. whose death had been
under investigation by court Of in
quiry, reported sick and was ordered
10 the hospital badly bruised and suf-
ferlng great pain He did not report
for duty again until 23 days later and
his case Immediately became matter
of concern to the upper classmen.
when IL WAS seen that the authorities
intended 10 investigate it.
Before the board, Sutton proved
most retlcent witness. His testimony
has not been given out, but the eos'
sip has been that, though he gave
complete narrative OF his adventures
on the night OF June Is. be professcd
TO have been unable TO recognize his
assailants.
One hundred and flfty-Seyen wit
nesseS-a large fraction OF the total
enrolment of the academy-are un-
derstood TO have been commanded 10
tell all they knew, and in ways salts
factory TO itself. the board determined
without the aid of Sutton, on the
cadets at fault.
The findings were then forwarded
10 Washington where they were given
the closest attention and twice re-
turned to West Point for further
eIuoidation as to specific details. When
the last point of doubt had been made
clear, the war department with tho
approval of President Taft took the
decisive action announced here today
No comment on the affair Is made
by officers here but 1t is understood
; they approve heartily OF still front
in even trivial cases of horse play.
Since the last delinquents were re.
instated, 1t is believed the cadets
thought hazine was TO be more lightly
treated The order of dismissal. there
fore. is welcomed as wholesome.
The broadly spread understanding
here is that Sutton was "booed" by
a sheeted ghost and that like stout
hearted westerner-he was appointed
from Oregon-he defended his per
sonal dignity and his duty so effect
lively that the ghost was glad 10 take
to the woods A relief party OF hob
gobins" then descended on him. with
tent pegs and beat him into subjec-
tion.
Throughout the Investigation, Sut-
tons tact and loyalty to his fellow
cadets have won him high popularity
The dismissed upper class men are
supposed TO have no hope of reinstate-
ment as the president Is moi likely 10
reverse his decision.
