.BALL|NGER COMING WEST
Secretary of the Interior Proposes to
Post Himself on Matters Per-
tanning to His Department.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, D c., March 12.--Dur-
ing the coming summer the new secre-
tary of the inteFieFs Richard BalIiagsF.
proposes visiting various western
states and Alaska to acquaint himself
through personal observation and in
vestigation concerning land, timber
and mineral conditions, with a view to
correcting abuses which may exist, so
that he may make practical sugges-
lions to congress next fall for desira-
BILE legislation concerning western mat
ters. Secretary Ballinger will pay par
ticulaT attention TO irrigation matters
and will visit all projects which are
under construction by the government.
II is knowns that while commissioner
of the general land office Mr.. BallingeT
did not entertain a very high opinion
of reclamation service methods, but he
was not in position 10 interfere. Now
that he is secretary of the interior ii

tax offers the best means for making
up the treasury deficit, and that if the
new bin contained a provision for such
tax, neither the duty on coffee or that
on beer need be increased.
A provision which many Republicans
as well as Democrats are likely to at
tack is that taking off the duty on iron
ore. The Dingley bill imposes 40 cents
ton on iron ore. and the importations
of 1907 amounted to more than So. coo, 900,
from which the duties collected amount
ed to more than 100000. The placing
of iron ore on the free list was advo-
Gated by John W. Gates and numerous
foundry and furnace concerns of the
east and the Pacific coast.
Representatives of iron mining inter
ests in the Lake Superior, Mesaba and
Adirondack regions favored reduction
of from IS to % per cent in the duty on
iron ore, If it was proposed to make a
general downward revision.
The National Grange favored free
iron ore as being in line with the idea
OF conserving natural resources.

TO SWEAR OUT COMPLAINT
AGAINST DEFAULTER TODAY
Christensen Must Answer for Offense Thong
Shortage Is Made Good and Bonds
mems Claims Satisfied.
eWkeS Explains in Detail How Books Were Tempered With
Money Used in Ventures at Virginia City.

The state of Utah has been reim-
bursed to the full amount of the S70,-
62S.94 which James Christensen, for
mer state treasurer, confessed to hav-
ing embezzled, and the bondsmen and
one or two other friends of Mr.. ChIs5-
Hansen, who raised the amount and
advanced it to him as loan. have
been secured by properties owned by
Mr.. Christensen and by mortgage
given by Mrs. Christensen on the
home. The money was raised yester-
day forenoon in a short time, and the
cash, to the amount of the known de-
falcation, was turned over to the pres
ent state treasurer shortly after the
noon hour. 1t was stated last evening
by one of the bondholders that the Sc
curities given by Mr.. Christensen for
the loan were entirely sufficient t.
cover the amount advanced,
Early yesterday morning Sheriff
Sharp placed Mr. Christensen Under
arrest and transferred him to the coun-
ty Jail, where he is still being held. An
/ order was issued that no one should be
allowed to converse with him yesteT-
day without his consent, and all callers
were denied except Attorney Samuel A
King, who was retained for his defense
Upon advice of Mr.. King. Mr.. Chris
Hansen declined to talk with any news
paper men.
No complaint was yesterday ISSUED
against Mr.. Christensen, but it is un-
derstood that information will be filed
and sworn to this morning, and thai
when the complaint is filed the defend
ant viii be given an early arrangement
and admitted to bail. Considering the
/ fact that the state has now been fully
reimbursed for all amounts known e
/ have been taken by Christensen, tina
/ he has confessed to having embezzleC
/ the money and turned over all nj.

/ further. that the bondsmen and thOs
who advanced loan have been sGs

the general belief that the court, whel

which, it was stated, will probably no

MEETING CAME To NAUGHT
United Mine Workers and Operators
in Anthracite Fields Adjourn
Without Agreement.

Philadelphia, March 12.-Because the
anthracite mine operators would not
agree to recognize the United Mine
Workers of America, the conference OF
miners and operators to arrange a new
working agreemene came to naught to-
day.
Even at that prospects for a peace
full settlement have not entirely failed
The miners will call a convention OF
their union for the three anthracite
districts to discus the situation. They
viii hold another conference with the
operators before March 81. Both sides
hope or profess to hope, that radical
measures will be avoided.
The operators agreed, as their final
proposition, to continue the present
agreement three years.

ALDRICH READY
FOR PAYNE BILL
Tariff Schedules to Be Finally
Fixed by the Senate
Republicans.

washington, March 12.-The Republic
can senators of the committee on
finance will begin a systematic study
of the new tariff bill as soon as copies
are obtained. They feel the Importance
of pressing the measure to a speedy de-
termination, and Senator Aldrich, as
chairman of the committee, has said
that ne would make an effort to have
the bill reported as soon as possible
after its passage by the house.
II is considered that many changes
viii be made in the senate, and that
most of them viii be suggested by the
finance committee. In the senate the
smaller states have a greater proper
tionate representation than in the house
and if the bill as it comes from the
house, should fail TO give what is con-
sidered adequate protection to some OF
their industries, there would undoubt-
eddy be a strenuous effort by the SEN
ators from those states to restore the
desired equilibrium.

Western Interests

The thinly populated states OF the
west are especially interested in the
protection of wool, hides, fruits, lead,
ore, copper, etc, and Till unquestion-
ably resist any effort to discriminate
against them, and they would regard
as such effort the placing of these arti-
cles on the free list.
While Senator Aldrich's hope is to
have the bill in shape to be reported
soon after it comes from the house,
much will depend upon the house meas
ure and disposition of the members of
the finance committee. UnQuestionably
the controlling desire in the senate will
be TO make the bill distinctively pro-
tective measure, and 1t is not believed
that the Republican senators will per-
nit even their desire for haste to cause
them to sacrifice this feature of il.

MALINGERING.

Reports received by the surgeon gem
eral of the Navy, from officers of the
naval medical corps, indicate that CON
siderable attention has lately been paid
TO the question of malingering, which
is one of the most troublesome of
phases with which the surgeons must
deal. This mock sickness appears to
prevail more among inmates of the
naval prisons than among other classes
of the naval service. The reports in
dictate the various devices, some of
them quite ingenious, which have been
adopted by the medical officer tc test
the authenticity of complaints. While
it is desired, of course, to identify
sham disease. it is quite as necessary
TO protect those who might easily be
suspected but who no less require treat
ment for real disability. It is appre-
ciated that no iron-clad rule can be
laid down for the benefit of Surgeons
who are called on to treat mal,ngerers
who are likely to exist and practice
their fraud as long as there is any in
ducement to engage IN This form of
deception.-Army and Navy Register.
