Washington, May 1S.-The feature
Of the investigation in the Ballinger
case today was the prediction that
George Perkins of the ]. Pierpont
Morgan company will be called to the
stand as a witness. In the recorded
letters before the committee marked
personal and confidential to Ballin-

after he became secretary. recon-
mended City Engineer Thompson of
Seattle, to accompany Perkins on an
Alaskan trip for the purpose of in
vestigating the country with a view
to railroad exploitation. Balinger
had been in communication with
Perkins and said in a letter to
Thompson he had recommended him
when Perkins insisted on him sug-
gesting a man
Thompson replied saying he would
accept, but later wrote Ballinger say
ing he would supply another man for
Perkins upon Ballinger's request. On
July 4. 1909. Ballinger wrote Perk-

Edward to take the Alaska trip but

sodes reached an exciting climax in
the BallingerPinchot investigation
late yesterday when Assistant Attor-
ney General Oscar Lawler, author of
the now famous Lawler memorandum
rose wrathfully from the witness
stand and accused Attorney Brandeis
of uttering a deliberate untruth.
Then after he had been rebuked by
several members of the committee,
Mr.. Lawler withdrew his remark and
apologized to the committee.
Mr.. Lawler was called to the stand

under which he had pre-
pared for the president a memoran-
dunn containing his opinion on the

VETS WIN OUT In
ELECTION AT DENVER

Denver. May 1S.-The anti-saloon
element were beaten in the election
yesterday by majority Of from T.
600 to 10000. The extension of the
franchise of the Denver Union Water
company, and which was TO run for
20 years. was decisively beaten. 1t is
claimed by the chairman of the citi-
zens' party which placed a ticket in
the field against republicans and DEM
ocrats. that they have elected at least
one of their candidates for the cleo
ton commission; three of the four su-
pervisors and nine of the is alder
men. Mayor Speer admits that the
citizens poll is surprising but counts
upon the returns from the 10000 or
more scratched ballots to carry the
democrats to victory 1t is estimated
that $4,000 of 10000 registered elec-
tors voted.

enter the comets tail about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and emerge about
midnight.
But in my opinion" he said, "the
passage of the earth through the tail
is not likely to be signalized by any
conspicuous phenomenon.
"Spectroscopic observations show
that the tail consists Of gases far too
tenuous to affect appreciably the
themical composition Of the earth's
atmosphere. Associated with these.
close to the head of the comet, are
solid and liquid particles which reflect
perceptible amount of sunlight. In
the part of the tail through which the
earth will pass, these are not likely
to be present in sufficient number or
size to produce meteors. The illumi-
nation Of the tail might perhaps be
sufficient to cause slight increase
in the brightness of the night sky soon
after the transit were IT not for the
moon. which probably will prevent
any such effect from being seen.
ut is possible that the electric po-
tential of the earth's atmosphere may
be slightly affected by electrically
charged particles in the comet. or by
a reduction in the number of elettrons
received from the sun, caused by the
screening effect of the tail. Although
it is very doubtful whether any such
effect can be detected, observations
with an electrometer will be contin-
ued for some time after the earth

trio phenomena might cause slight
changes in the intensity of the earth's.

ometer will be used in an attempt to
register any such changes.
"At the request of a member of the
United States geological survey, plates
coated with glycerine will be exposed
at the summit of high tower to col
lect any minute traces ef meteoric
matter that may come into our at
mosphere from the comet. 1t is prob
able, however, that even if such min
ute particles should enter the upper
atmosphere, they would not settle to
the earth within sufficiently short
time and in sufficient numbers to be

No Danger. Saws Pickering.

Cambridge. Mass, May 1S.-If
Prof Pickering of Harvard knows
what he is talking about. no one need
be afraid to go to bed and sleep sound
ly tonight, lest the tail of Halley's
comet should swipe them while they
slumber Prof. Pickering says that
we should expect to be struck by the
core of visible comet once in about
4O,000,000 years. and by some por-
ton of the head once in 100000
years. Since comets orbits are more
thickly distributed near the ecliptic
than in other regions of the sphere,
the collisions would occur rather more
frequently than this, but hardly as
often as once in 100000 years; and
since it has been estimated that ami
NAL life has existed upon the earth
for about 100, 100000 years, a con-
siderable number of collisions, per-
haps as many as fifty must have ta-
ken place during that interval, in
Professor Pickering's opinion, evil
IDENTIFY without producing any very
serious results.
At all events, it may be safely held
that today none of us will be aware
of the fact that. We are literally
breathing the tall Of Halley's comet.
From this it may be inferred that the
wild tales of the possible effects of
poisonous gases are utterly without
foundation, 1t is true that the comets
tail is composed of poisonous and as
phyxiating hydrocarbon vapors and
cyanogen; but 1t is also true that the
small that when the earth is brushed
by the tail of Halley's comet the COM
position Of the atmosphere will not
be so affected that a chemist could de-
tect it.
