 "Mr Pinchot, please state one single fact of your own knowledge that re- fleets upon MT Bailinger's conduct, either as commissioner of the land office or secretary of the interior-not hearsay; not what somebody else said or wrote-of your own knowledge"
 The witness hesitated Then he ad- dressed Senator Nelson:
 "Mr. Chairman, in order to answer that question, because of the nice dis elimination it involves, l must ask your permission to refer to a list have here of the things MT. Balllnger has. done.'
 The permission was granted and, after perusal of the list. MT. Pinchot said:
 "The fact of my own knowledge Is Mir. Ballinger's letter to the President of November 15. with which he in closed Ronald's letter. These letters contain misstatements. which I have already shown and am prepared fur ther to show"
 MT. vertrees-You have testified here largely by inference and inuendo Now state what you personally know Mir. Ballinger said or did.
 MT. Pinchot-The letter of Novem- Der IS.
 Mir. Vertrees--What else7
 Mir. Pinchot--I never discussed the Cunningham cases with MT. Baliinger. The only knowledge I have at first hand Is limited to writings that are not disputed.

 c. K. c. Billings. who has paid 8 larger sum of money for trotters and pacers to drive on the road and anna teur matinee races, and owned more of them, than any ten horse lovers in the country, tells of very sad exper' fence in the first horse he ever owned in his life.
 When quite young man, Mir Bill. ings fancied a fast trotting mare priced to him at $2,000, but not having more than $5a0 to his name. he per suaded his mother to advance him the balance, which she did after much begging. In due time his father heard of the fast trotter his son had bought and expressed desire to try her.
 The request was complied with, and after few spins on tbe board the old gentleman asked how much he had paid for her. 'Six hundred dollars father" was the answer
 Well. Charley. the mare is not worth it, said the governor but rather like the way she steps, so will take her from you and you can have your 5000" The deal had to ba closed.

Washington, Mar. 5.-While more than fifty guests looked on laughingly and applauded, Speaker Cannon tempt ed President Taft into a test of terpsi chorean agility in the East Room of the White house. Both stopped, pant. ing, when the trial was ended The opinion that honors were even was unanimous. Dancing followed a din ner given by the President to Cannon said to be the first formal affair ever accorded a speaker of the house oi representatives by a president
 The dinner ended, the company went to the East Room, which boasts an ample and smooth dancing floor An orchestra played a gentle waltz and the president led off with Mrs. Joseph A. Gaines, wife of the repre. sentative from West Virginia. The speaker with Mrs. Laughlin. a sis, ter of Mrs. Taft, glided out on the polished floor in the wake of his chief The dance was on
 In the intermission, however wber N"S OiNhtotid SlIuck up a llVelY tune. Mir Cannon stepped briskly into the middle of the room and brought his heels together sharply. There was a batting of gloved hands and voices called encouragingly to the guest of honor. In a moment the speakers heels were twinkling in a brilliant Highland fling.
 Excellent, eh?" he called exulting to Mir. Taft. T was something of a dancer when l was youngster."
 For answer the president stepped willingly forward and those who were present say the two executed several steps of an old fashioned hoe down" that delighted everyone. Both were puffing when they finished.
 Following the dancing the president led his men guests to the smoking room on an upper floor of the White house, where an intimate talk was held in which partisan politics is said to have held no place. The women remained in the East Room.
