SPOKANE DEEP
IN bALL|NGER
P|NCH0T CASE
THIS CITY HAS FIGURED IN
CONTROVERSY FROM THE
BEGINNING

Spokane probably has more
reason to be interested in the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation now in
progress in Washington than any
other city in the country. The in
vestigation was precipitated by the
national irrigation congress in this
city last August, when Pinchot and
his friends first launched the attack
on Ballinger. From that time for
ward the controversy has grown I'M
til it has involved the whole country
in a scandal that threatens to wreck
the Taft administration.
The chief factor in precipitating
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
was the effort of the claimants to
the Cunningham coal lands in
Alaska to have their claims pat
ented by the government. These
coal lands are largely a Spokane
proposition, involving a number of
prominent Spokane citizens, and
people living in the Inland Empire
The two meetings of the Cunning
hi m coal land claimants, in which it
iasalieged they tried to circumvent
tt rules of the land office in the
premature sale of their claims to
the Guggenheim syndicate, were
held In Spokane.
Horace T. Jones, who testified
Friday in the Ballinger-Pinchot in
vestigation; Lofts R. CLAWS, who
preceded him on the stand, and
James M. Sheridan, the government
attorney whose ability as lawyer
was assailed by these two wit
nesses, were present in Spokane
last December during the Cunning
ham coal lands hearing. Sheridan
was the attorney in charge of the
government examination of the
claimants and it was burning ques-
ton while he was here whether or
not he was making an effort to get
at the bottom of the facts in the
case. Sheridan said he was, but
CLAWS and Jones have testified
that he was not.

TO keep the situation at the highest

join tomorrow in a mass meeting to
decide whether or not one hundred

The former action, it is feared,
will mean untold bloodshed, de-

Thousands of union men are
eager to join in sympathetic

and bloodshed, are fearful of the
consequences of such a step. Riots
tonight, while less serious than
earlier in the week, have further
inflamed, not only the striking car
men, but the union men in other
sections.
The first riot of the afternoon
occurred at Fifth and Glenwood
avenue, where a crowd of nearly
1000 mill hands built an obstruc-
ton across the tracks. e0-
The first car stopped was imme.

car wrecked. The car was then
set on fire. Squads of police re-

scene. The mob fled into an adjoin-
ing mill yard, from which it hurled
missiles at the police, who finally
drew their revolvers and fired a
number of shots.

an extra wadding; then when the horse
approaches with evil intent fire the
wadding directly in his face, taking
care. of course. to miss the eye. This
will bring him to time sure. Then
hitch him up and make him work
every day of his life. There is no use
trying to beat really vicious stations
into submission. That usually only
makes them uglier, and they will ever
lastingly watch for an opportunity to
get the handler foul. The blank shot
in the face cows them for good and
all. and it probably will do no harm to
repeat the dose, which is to say that
second blank may prof1tably be fired
on the other side Of the face a few
seconds after the first. That will put
the fear of sudden death in the horses
heart. and as be did not see it coming
he will be forever after afraid that it
is coming. g$
Work is thereafter the great panacea.
Idleness promotes viciousness in all
stations. 1t induces disease and dele
terious habits. Even If this horse is a
speedy chap it will not hurt him to do
light labor all winter. If he is not
used for track purposes. then he should
be made to work in the harness just
like any other horse on the farm.
Naturally it takes nerve, precision and
good Judgment to apply this course of
treatment, but 1t is so absolutely eff
cacious that it is worth taking the ut
most pains with. Most stations love
fights. but all are deathly afraid of the
fash. the sting and the noise OF a
blank shot. so much SO indeed that
they will always be watching for a
similar application. 1t is the best pos
sible lesson mean horse can have.
