PRESIDENT TAFT
MAY Be SUMMONED
Committee EieSitateS as to
How Far 1t Shall Go
in Inquiry.
MAY BE CALLED ON
TO REFUTE PINCHOT
Former Forester's Tale of Con-
versation With Him
Held Up.

Interest in the BalIinger-Pinchot con-
troversy now centers upon the action Of
the investigating committee with re-
gard to the part the President is eX-
pected to personally take in the matter.
His name was brought into the inquiry
yesterday by Mr., Pinchot The former
forester offered to repeat cOnversa-
tion which he had had with the E.ecu-
tive, the effect of which was intended
to be damaging 10 the Ballinger con-
tentions
Before the testimony along this lire
had proceeded, Attorney Vertrees,
counsel for Secretary BaIIinger, OBJ
jected on the ground that either Mr.
Pinchot's word would have to be taken
unsupported or the President would
have to be summoned to take the stand.
This It was argued would reflect upon
the dignity of the Presidency as wei
ss bring the President into a contro-
ZeTsy IN which he prefers to occupy
neutral position.
The committee preferred TO consider
the new phase Of the matter in eXecu-
tive session. They therefore dismissed
the matter so far as yesterdays hear
ing was concerned and announced that
they would render a decision at Tues
lays session.
May Summon President.
Should the Pinchot conversation with
the President be barred by the commit
tee the Pinchot people will undoubted-
~ ,ake exception. On the other hand,
should the testimony be admitted. the
Ballinger attorneys, may il is said. insist
that the President be asked to give his
recOIlectiOns Of the incident. This would
put the issue squarely up 70 the com
mittee, of summOning the President Of
the United States TO appear as a Wit
ness before body Of Congressman.
The opinion prevails that the preSi-
dent viii be consulted as 70 the part
ne cares to take in the controversy, and
that the committee viii be guided by
his wishes
Secretary Bauinger mas refused to
reply 10 the charge made by the former
chief forester that the Secretary had
willfully deceived the President with
regard to the policy Of the Department
of the Interior
Secretary BallingeT's Comment.
His only statement is that Mr.. Pin
chot is attempting to try the issue in
the newspapers, and , cites the fact
that the PinchOt statement Yesterday
was given to the press in advance.
Secretary -BaIIinger says: Tn view Of
the fact that I shall have an opportun-
itv 70 appear before the committee and
acouaint them with the truth. I shall
not reply through the press to the men
daciOus aspersIOns which Mr. Pinchot
seeks 70 cast upon me. He attempted
without success to deceive the President
He will find il equally difficult 10 de-
ceive the committee.
obviously, the only deception in
which he hopes to succeed is a tempo
rary deception Of the public through the
press This he had endeavOred TO DO by
giving out in advance the Introductory
statement which has appeared. and
which he has been malignant enough TO

the vexations of business during the
day have frequently brought him to

what his mood will be for the rest OF
the evening. OF course the particular
disposition of every man is going to
tell here, just as it does everywhere
else. But the rule will hold good for
the average man. The most important

A CAT AND DOG SKlRMISH
In Which the Cunning and Resource
full Cat Won by Superior
Strategcal Ability.

'T never fancied cats very much,
said a limited lover of nature, but
certainly the cat is a fairly courage
ons animal and more than ordinarily
shifty and resCurceful, and SO ia
quite likely to be able TO hold its own
against an enemy much larger and
more powerful than itself
"Here was a yellow cat moving at
a walk leisurely across the street
while at the same time there was
coming along this block dog. When
the dog saw the cat it started for 1t
as fast as it could go, and when the
cat saw the dog it turned on full
power at once and fairly Jumped to
clear the remaining space to the other
side of the street, where it halted
with its back against a tn iron picket
fence and faced the dog.
Instantly the dog jumped for the
cat, / even more quickly up went
tire CT paw to sweep the air down
ward, and a cats claws are very
sharp and a dogs nose is very tender
and delicate, and the dog didn't close.
In moment he jumped for the cat
again, but again the cat clawed him
off, or the fear of the claws was
enough TO make the dog shy again
But the next time evidently the
dog was going to close in and rough
house things and take the chances;
and do you know what the cat did
now? The cat is a very compressible
creature; it can get through very
sr~Hll srace' and now this particular
yellow cat backed In between two Of
those iron pickets to the inner side
of the fence; but ii didn't run away.
IL 81 ayei right there, close to the In
ner side of the fence, which the dog
couldn't get through, and when the
dog came up for that last time the
cat struck at 1t again through the
fence with that swift, silent sweep Of
It's paw, swung this time, as 1t
seemed, with sort of savagely cool
contemptuousness. Then the foolish
dog ran away.
I'VE may not fancy the cat, but we
should err If we failed to give IL at
least some measure Of admiration for
the shifty ability with which it holds
its own against its natural enemy"
