Washington September S.-"Incident- ally" said Secretary Ballinger at the close of the first day after his hurried trip from the Pacific coast T intend to kill some snakes"
 The remark was made in response to questions relative to the Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy regarding water power plants, the Cunningham-Alask coal in- terests and other conservation matters. and the illustration used by the secretary was drawn from an incident in his own life when some 20 odd years ago, as a boy at Medicine Lodge, he found the night camp infested with rattlers. He then said:
 Boys, before I sleep I propose to kill some snakes' and the fact is recorded the he did kill about a dozen of the venomous reptiles before stretching his blanket over the Buffalo grass for a nights rest.
 MT. Ballinger refused to explain the puiport of his remark and declined to further discuss the matters In controversy between his department and the forestry bureau.
 ''Manfestly," he said, it would be im- proper for me to talk on this subject The heads of the various divisions of the department which are involved in this controversy have all prepared their re- ports and I expect to submit the whole question to the President at an early day. I could not, therefore, properly go Into the subject at this time, further than to say that my previous knowledge of the situation, together with the information

BalIinger Says He VIII
 Soon Kill Some Snakes

have derived today from the perusals of the reports of Messrs Pierce Dennett and Schwartz iustifies the statement that this department has nothing to fear from the closest scrutiny of the conduct of it's officials
 MT. Ballinger said that he did not know just when he would go to Beverly, but presumed that he would be there early next week. He spent much of the day in conference with Assistant Secretary Pierce, Commissioner Dennett, MT. Schwartz and Assistant Attorney Gen eral Lawler. The remainder of the time was given to the reading of the reports of his subordinates.
 MT. Balinger intimated that he might prepare report of his own for the pub lie, but said his course in that respect would depend entirely upon the wishes of the President. He had no doubt, how ever, that full statement of the entire matter would be given to the public at an early day.
 Secretary Ballinger has been absent from the city for more than two months, the greater part of which time has been spent in a tour of inspection through the west He gave very careful attention to conditions in Yellowstone Park, and went over a large number of irrigation projects In order to perform these duties he was compelled to ride much on horse- back and on one occasion covered 80 miles in one day while inspecting the Crow Indian reservation in Montana. After seeing the President MT. Ballinger will return to the west to continue his labors He probably will join the Pres ident at Denver on the latter's western tour and proceed with him to Seattle.

taken possession Q c'O n the name of their nation and .< tle has usually been respected 7 Q it was soon after followed by ession' railroad case held: 'erhe right of discovery is ( gnized in the Roman law unless follow by occupation, or un- less the intention of the sovereign or state to take possession be declared or made known to the world. And it must be con ceded that modern diplomats and pub licists incline to the opinion that mere discovery amounts to nothing unless fol- lowed in a reasonable time by occupation and settlement more or less permanent under the sanction of the state."
 Attorney General Black In 1859, said MT McNoir, held as follows: "The law or nations will not acknowledge the prop erty and sovereignty of a nation over any uninhabited country except where actual possession has been taken and settlement formed or of which 1t makes actual use."
 "When navigators." says Vattel, "have met with desert countries in which these of other countries had, in their transient visits, erected some monument to show their having taken possession Of them. they have paid as little regard to that empty ceremony to the regulation or the popes who divided a great part of the world between the crowns or Castle anu Portugal
 In the brief of J. Hubley Ashton. Esq, counsel for the United States in the case of Gowen 8s Copeland vs. Venezuela, he states: The exercise of Jurisdiction is one of the highest evidences of sover- eighty; the extension of the laws of an empire over a colonial possession forms one of the chief proofs of the nations s title to sovereignty over the colony; and the absence of these important links in the chain of testimony advanced in sup port Of Haytps claim to sovereignty over Navassa. must I submit, answer to any reasonable mind fatal to that claim, nor can this absence be supplied by the facts of contiguty or that Navassa had, up to the date of Peter Duncans discovery, remained a wilderness

Washington, September 3.-(Special) )- Much of the interest of the Cook discov- cry is determining itself into the phase of whether the United States owns the pole and certain land in its territory through the success of the American ex- plorer.
 The weight of authority seems to be that discovery gives only an inchoate title which must be confirmed by use or settle ment This would indicate that the United States must settle around the pole or yield to an ice-souled people of country not known to exist
 c. s. McNoir a well known attorney of this city, tonight pointed out a number of authorities on questions of discovery bringing forward several interesting facts in connection with the polar ownership
 MT. McNoir refers particularly to let ter written by Secretary of State Fish to MT. Preston in 1872 in the Hayti case. In the letter, after profound study of in- ternationa1 law, MT Fish said: "Discov- cry alone is not enough to give dominion and jurisdiction to the sovereign or gov ernment of the nation to which the dis coverer belongs Such discovery must be followed by possession
 All mankind" says that eminent and impartial writer on international law, vattel, have an equal right to things that have not yet fallen into the possess sion of any one, and those things belong to the person who first takes possession of them. When, therefore, a nation finds
 -sa.I xI.tt xx-ft1 m owner, 1t may lawfully take possession of it; and after it has sufficiently made known its will in this respect, it cannot be deprived of it by another nation. Thus navigators going upon voyages of discov- cry, furnished with commission from their sovereign and meeting with islands Or other lands in a desert state, have

FOUR KILLED, MANY INJURED IN WRECK

Pittsburg, September 4-Four persons were killed and S5 injured, several per haps fatally, at midnight last night on train No 5, westbound on the Baltimore and Ohio, known as the Royal Blue, run ming between New York and Chicago, when it was wrecked near Chewton, Pa., AS miles from this city. The train ran into a broken rail, supposed to have been caused by train wreckers, and the engine, two Pullmans and two day coaches were thrown from the track. The cars immedi- ately took fire. Relief trains were sent to the scene from this city and Newcastle, and the dead and injured removed to hospital at the latter place. The engineer and fireman of the train were instantly killed two passengers dying on the way to the hospital Among the dead are:
 Engineer John Dill, aged 45, of Chicago Junction.
 Baggagemaster John Wheatcroft of Chi cago Junction.
 e. Cavanaugh, boiler inspector, was crushed probably fatally.
 The train was westbound from Pitts burg to Chicago. It was running along at 50 miles an hour when the engine sud- denly jumped the track, and in sec ond the whole train had turned turtle into a deep ditch.
 The railroad officials claim the wreck was caused by fends who removed two fish plates, moved the north rail inside and removed the spikes for a rail s length. An investigation after the wreck showed that the fish plates and spikes were miss- tho

SUICIDE VERDICT
 IS UNCHANGED

Newport, Tenn, September 3.-The body of John H. Spencer, one of the alleged murderers of A. J. Slagle, the Jones' boro lumberman, was exhumed today in the presence of fully 100 people, for the purpose of ascertaining if possible whether Spencer committed suicide by drowning himself in rain barrel or was taken out by mob of Jonesboro citi- zens and hanged. The theory had been advanced that Spencer was strung up in an effort to secure confession from him. that they allowed him to hang too long; that he was dead when cut down, and in order to hide the facts he was pushed head first into rain barrel and the story circulated that he had com mitted suicide.
 Nothing could be definitely decided from the exhumation, the body being too bad ly decomposed. In view of this fact. the verdict of the coroner's jury that Spen- cers death was suicide stands.

NEGRO SWEARS HE
 SHOT ENGINEER

Durham, N. C., September 3-The de- fense in the case of Reuben Barbee, charged with the murder of Engineer Holt, today succeeded in getting before the court the evidence of Sol Shepard, the negro who has several times stated that he and not Barbee murdered Holt.
 Shepard on the stand said he shot Holt at the time, December of last year. Coun- sel for the state introduced an alienist, Dr. E. B. Ferrere, to show that Shepard was an imbecile.
 With the exception of getting his dates little mixed. Shepard stood. the cross examina ton well.
 Barbee went on the stand in his own behalf and stated that he had no reason to shoot the engineer, and that on the night of the crime he was at his home.
 At 4:45 D. m. A. l.. Brooks for the state began his address to the jury.

TAFT'S MISSION
 IN MINNESOTA

Washington, September 3.-(SpeciaI. J. the Presidents trip will be the journey through Minnesota, as is shown by the repeated telegram of the President from Beverly yesterday. Minnesota is much aroused by the new tariff. Seven of the eight republican members of the House of Representatives from that state Messrs. Davis, Stevens, Wye, I.ipdbers. volstead, Miller and Steenerson, voted against the adoption of the conference report. James A. Tawney, chairman of the committee on appropriations, voted with the President and the majority of the House. The signing of the bill by the President was accompanied by a memo randum in which MT. Taft held that the bill was not perfect, but that with few exceptions the rates were lower than in the existing tariff, and the bill generally kept the promise of the party for down. ward revision. The President called att tention to two or three schedules which might later receive attention and prom ised that if remedies were necessary he would recommend them.
 Since then Senators Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota, who, with five other senators voted against the conference report in the Senate. have been wrathy. They have evidently been seeking to frighten the President from his intention to defend the bill as republican measure in the far west. It is suspected here that the pub lication of the forged telegram from the President indorsing a meeting of those voting against the bill was concocted for the purpose of muddling the situation and perhaps making the President hesitate His friends assert that the President will go through the west and not only defend the tariff, but do so in such way that he will not offend the party leaders. but will unite his party.

 The boats that are to go into commits sion when navigation opens in 1910 are to run without stop between Memphis and New York. New Orleans, according to present plans, is to be served by a connecting line at Texas City, and freight for points north of Memphis will be tran shipped there, probably through traffic agreement with existing lines.
 If the project proves a success, the days of the old-time Mississippi river type of steamboat will be numbered, as the new craft are to be of a design re- sembling in hull lines the whaleback barges of the Great Lakes. Their upper works, however, will give them more the appearance of ocean-going vessels.

RELIEF WORK IS DIRECT
 SLAP AT GENERAL REYES

The telegraphic system in the state of Nuevo Leon are in a badly demoralized condition. Reports received from points which have been cut off from communica- ton since Saturday indicate that eight towns in the state either were wholly or partially destroyed. Among these are Mier Bravo, Camargo, Rayonnes, Gale- ana and Victoria. Some two dozen points are yet to be heard from and grave fears are felt that with the restoration of communication further destruction of life and loss of property will be chronicled.
 Every life in Tula would have been lost had not many of the inhabitants been forewarned and fled to the hills. The first estimates of property loss of $3O,000,0 ,0OO and of POGO fatalities as result of the floods may be under the mark

COTTON MILL EMPLOYES

New Bedford, Mass, September 3-A general strike of the 10000 cotton mill operatives in this city is threatened as a result of the refusal of the manufac- turers to restore 10 per cent cut in wages made in March, 1908. At meet ing of the textile council tonight, the formal refusal of the mill owners was received. The delegates to the council had expected the manufacturers would offer to advance wages per cent, if not to make complete restoration, and the letter from the mill treasurers created considerable surprise. The delegates tc the council discussed the wage question
