COnroy Makes Good Effort
Attorney Conroy made a valiant eff
fort to have the charges changed from
perjury" to obtaining money under
false pretenses," but Judge Reiter in
rendering his decision this morning
said that after carefully considering
the case he would have to sustain the
affidavit.
In other words, if McGovern is guilty
he is guilty of perjury and not Of the
smaller offense of obtaining money
under false pretepses Attorney Stin-
son asked that the judge put McGov-
ern under a heavier bond than 5000.
under which he is now held. but Judge
Reiter thought that the present bond
was sufficient considering the fact that
McGovern has wife and child to sup
port and might have to go to jail pend
ing trial if larger bond were re-
quired.
The Chicago Discount company is
prosecuting the case vigorously so that
there will not be a repetition of the
offense Attorney John NJ Stinson. who

BALL|NCER ANGRY
Secretary of Interior De-
mands Congress Inquiry.
STIRRED BY ENEMIES CHARGES
President Taft Considers Him q
Much Wronged Man - Chief
Forester Pinchot May
Have to Go.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Moved to an
ger by the charges and insinuations
made against him in connection with
ministration and the Cunningham coal
cases in Alaska, Secretary Of the Inte-
rior Richard A. Ballinger has deter
mined to remain quiet no longer.
Mr.. Ballinger now demands an in
vestigation by congress into his Off
cial conduct. The way has been paved
for such an inquiry, and either the
senate or the house will appoint a
committee to look into the allegations
involving Mr.. Ballinger.
The resolution for an inquiry will be
presented in the senate by Mr.. Nelson
Of Minnesota, who is chairman Of the
committee on public lands, or Mr..
Jones of Washington, Mr.. Ballinger's
own state. The resolution will provide
for an inquiry also into the workings
and policies Of the forestry bureau,
subordinate branch of the agricultural
department. Of which Clifford Pinchot
is chief.
President Taft is in thorough sympa-
thy with Secretary Ballinger's desire
for q probing into the coal land cases
and the water power site controversy.
He believes that the attacks made on
Mr.. Ballinger are the most outrageous
ever directed against public man and
has expressed indignation on account
of them.
In the presidents opinion Mr.. Ballin-
gers official conduct has been absO-
lutely clean, and any investigation into
what he has done as secretary ofSthe
| interior or into his conduct as commits
sioner of the general land office or as a
practicing attorney in the interim be-
| tween leaving one federal office and
| taking up the duties of another will
demonstrate that he has been deeply
wronged by the newspapers, maga-
zines, periodicals and individuals who
have sought to bring his good name
into disrepute.
| Mr.. Ballinger says he will welcome
an investigation, and he hopes con-
| greSs will take up the matter without
delay. The attack made last week on
Mr.. Ballinger and Commissioner Den
nett of the general land office by Rep
resentative Hitchcock, Nebraska
Democrat, is regarded as having had
much to do with the decision of the
secretary of the interior to invite con-
gress to look into his stewardship.
1t is reported on good authority that
the administration has come to the
conclusion that 1t would be well for
Forester Pinchot to leave the govern
ment service. The attacks on Ballin-
ger are attributed to employees in Pin.

FROM A PALACE TO A HIT.
Woman Confesses on Her Death

FROM A PALACE TO A HUT.

Berlin, Dec. 21.-The end has been
reached Of famous case Of child sub
stitution which has occupied the at
tention Of the German courts for
years.
1t was decided by the highest trt
bunal at Posen that the boy Joseph
Kwilecki, who has been the cause Of
ali the litigation, is not a scion Of
noted Polish house, but is the child
Of simple Galician peasant.
The court DEGREES that he must leave
the palace or castle, where he has been
treated as the heir to high honors and
rich estates, for the hut of crossing
watchman on Galician railway. That
is where his foster mother is em-
ployed.
The case has been full of surprises
from its inception. At first the courts
decided that the lad was the son OF
the Countess Kwilecki Of Poland.
After some years the woman GROSS
ing keeper came forward at the be-
hest of the KwiIecki heirs and confess
ed that her mother hal bought the
child from midwife in Cralow. There
was pretended accouchement of the
countess at Berlin. After the countess
death the boy was regarded as the
genuine heir.
The crossing sweeper told the court
that her mother on her deathbed ex-
acted from her a promise that she
would reveal the truth to the Kwileckf
heirs. The court held that the story
as told by the woman was proved,
and the decision followed.
Joseph Adolf Stanislaus, Graf Won
Kwiliz-Kwilecki, was born in Berlin
on Jan. q, 1897, the fourth child and
only son of Anton Joseph Won Belina-
Wesierski, Graf Won Kwilez- -Kwileckf,
and his wife Isabella, Grain Won BUM
Buinska.
The mother was born on March 8,
1916, and was therefore tifty-one years
old at the time of the birth of the
boy. She was married in July, 1854,
and her three daughters were born,
Luise on Sept 10, 1865; Isabella, June
13, 1873, and Marie, Oct. ~, 1879.
The house belongs to the Roman
Catholic Polish nobility, but the title
was only assigned to the present
branch in 1853, and the disputed
child's putative father succeeded to
it on the death of Count Joseph XVII
lecki on Nov. 3, 1860. The entailed
estate of Wroblewo, together with
Wierzochin, Klodzisko, Gluchowo, Pa
kawis and Dabrowa in Posen, go with
the title.

Philadelphia. Dec. 21.-Much curiosi-
ty was aroused in society circles here

Eulalia, who was Mrs. John B. Stet-
son, widow of the millionaire hat man
ufacturer, had returned from Portu-
gal without her husband, Alexio de
Querioz Riderio de Soto, Count de
Santa Eulalia.
She has retired to Idro, her country
estate in Elkins Park, and will sue
for divorce.
The count and countess went abroad
in October, shortly after Mrs. Jo-
sephine p. Ernest of Chicago announc-
ed that the count owed her $4,000
for having introduced him into society,
presented him to Mrs. Stetson and
taught him to make love to the wealthy
widow.

twenty employees Missing.
London, Dec. 21.-The loss in the
destructive fire at Clapham Junction
is placed at $2,50OOOO. Five bodies
have been recovered in the ruins Of
Arding g. Hobbs store, and twenty
employees are missing. 1t is feared
that they are dead under the debris.
It was in one Of the show windows
Of Arding & Hobbs store that the fire
had its origin. A clerk while show
ing some goods to a customer knock
ed an umbrella against an electric
lamp. The bulb was broken, and the
glowing filament fell on one Of the
numerous celluloid articles ON display.
In an instant the entire contents Of
the window went up in fame.
1t is probably true that no building
was ever consumed in such a short
space Of time. The flames roared from
shop to shop until nearly half an acre
Of buildings was on fire.
The proprietors, who were on the
premises, as well as the heads Of de-
partments, acted with GOODNESS and
promptitude. Immediately the flames
were discovered the customers were
led across the buildings to a side
street, where all made their exit In
safety.
There were about 800 employees in
the building when the alarm was given,
but the greater number escaped with
out injury. Four were instantly killed
by leaping from third story windows.
