AGAINST BALLINGER.

Minority members OF the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation committee frus-
trated at Minneapolis yesterday the
suspected design of the regulars" to
smother reports on the results OF the
inquiry until the fall elections. In the
absence Of Senator Root and Represen-
tatives Olmsted, Ct Pennsylvania, and
Oenby, of Michigan, and with the aid
of Representative Madison, insurgent,
Of Kansas, the democrats formally
adopted a resolution condemning Bal
linger as an unfaithful public officer,
and recommending his dismissal.
The resolution held that the charges
Of Pinchot and CLAWS had been sus-
tanned; that it was shown that Ballinger
had opposed the public interests in the
Cunningham coal cases, the restoration
of water-p power sites and in his adj
ADMINISTRATION Of the reclamation service.
1t was declared he was foe OF conser@
walton and he should no longer be re-
tanned in Office.
Those who voted for the resolution
were Senators Fletcher, of Florida;
Purcell, Of North Dakota; Representa-
tiyes James, OF Kentucky; Graham, OF
Illinois. and Madison OF Kansas.
Senator Nelson, chairman tried in
vain to prevent action by parliamentary
subtleties and protests of no quorum.
To the same end Senator Sutherland, OF
Utah, and Representative Mccall OF
Massachusetts, left the committee room
insisting that the full committee should
be present. The minority contend that
inasmuch as no member had raised the
point of no quorum being present, the
action OF the committee stands and the
resolution was adopted by the vote
registered.
The fight will be renewed at meet
ing Of the committee on Friday, when
all OF the members are expected to be
present

at the Cardinal-Alexandria Athletic
championship game on the north
Alfred street grounds last Monday an
equally large crowd will greet the players
next Saturday when the second game
of the series will be played. Chez

first game managed the crowd in
way that deserves the highest praise
and he kept the base lines and field
clear so that there was not the slightest
interference with the players during the
entire game. The presence OF many
prominent citizens and ladies show the
interest that is being manifested i'll the
series, and there was not the slightest
disorder to mar their pleasure during
the entire afternoon, and 1t is to be
hoped that they will again honor the
players by their attendance. Both
teams are anxious to win the next
game, and promise to give good ac-
count Of themselves when they meet
