BALuNGER IS CHILLED
LAWYER GETS ADMISSION OF DIS
BARMENT FROM SECRETARY.
Shows Existence Of Interior Depart
ment Rulings Which Must Have
Been Violated.

Washington, ID. c., May 1.-THE ex-
istence of rulings in the interior de-
partment which MIR. Ballinger must
have violated in appearing before the
general land office in behalf of the
Cunningham coal claimants, after his
retirement as commissioner, was
brought out by Attorney Brandels in
cross-examining the secretary of in
terror in the Ballinger-Pinchot inves-
tigation.
Mr.. Brandels got an admission from
Mr.. Ballinger that he had been barred
from appearing before the land office
by a similar ruling in another case
subsequent to his activity in the Gun
ningham cases and prior to his becom-
ing secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Ballinger said he had not called
these rulings to the attention of the
president to assist him in reaching
conclusion on the CLAWS charges be-
cause he did not think there was any
law to sustain them.
The committee decided to grant the
reffuest of Attorney Brandels that Os-
car Lawler, assistant attorney general
for the interior department, be asked
to furnish the original or copies in
his possession Of the memorandum
which he prepared for the president
last September, and which Mr.. Bran
dels intimated the president followed
in writing his letter indicating Bal
linger and dismissing L. r. CLAWS. BY
unanimous vote the committee re-
fused to ask the president for similar
information.
Attorney Brandels had almost con
cluded the cross-examination of Mr..
Ballinger when the hearing was ad.
journed until Thursday.

TACOMA WILL
HAVE RECOUNT
OF HER CENSUS

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 22.-If c
census recount for Tacoma is refused,
demand a certified list of the names
counted; If the names of actual resi-
dents are shown to be omitted, bring
mandamus suit in the supreme court
of the district of Columbia to COM
pei the census bureau to give Ia
coma a square deal"
Such is probable plan of action
for the correction of any injustice
that may have been done In Tacoma
in the looping off of $4,000 names
contained in the census returns from
this city, as outlined by Judge Stiles,
city attorney, today.
Judge Stiles probably will accom-
pany the protest committee to Wash
ington He is certain that when the
list Of names thrown out is scanned
It will be found that most of these
were bona fide citizen1. In any
event the city is in a position TO get
a complete list of names counted in
the census, according to the city at
torney. The law provides that a
certified list of all names counted in
the city or state must be given TO the
governor or mayor in case Of re-
count demand.

to thirteen carloads of live hogs from
Nebraska are arriving in Portland.
They are for the Oregon trade alche.
An equal II not greater number is go
ing to Puget Sound points. These
porkerss are bought in the open
market at Omaha at top prices. They
are brought by rail over the 1900
mile haul, with cars, feed and trans
portation averaging a cost of $1.15
per 100, to say nothing of the loss
of weight in transit, which makes a
tremendous differential in favor of
the Oregon farmer. In Portland the
newly imported hogs are bringing
$10.75 per 100 pounds. This is the
highest price ever known at this
time of year.
While this transaction is taking
out of Oregon from 100000 to
$685. 900 a week, a fact of signifi-
canoe is that they are happening at a
time when wheat is quoted in the in
terror of Oregon at seventy-two cents
per bushel The Oregon Agricultural
College has proven that hogs fat
tened on wheat and sold at six cents
pound bring the grower dollar a
bushel for his wheat. 1t is an easy
mathematical proposition, says the
Oregon Journal, to see that the same
hogs fattened on wheat now worth
seventy-two cents would, If sold at
the present figure of $10.75 per 100
pounds, bring an enormous price for
wheat. For about seven months in
the year this balance of trade against
the coast states as to hogs goes on.
II arouses the wonder of the onlook-
er as to whether Oregon farmers are
not missing splendid means of
thrift.

INSURGENT

London. Oct. 22,-Insurgency is
rapidly becoming as much OF an Is
sue, from all practical standpoints,
in England politics as in AmeNcan'
In England, as in America, the In
surgents are young men, anxious for
reform and determined to keep
abreast of modern progress.
British conservatism or Toryism
has always stood for the maintenance
of things as they are" But a
change came over conservatism when
the party adopted protection as one
OF its principles because the adop-
tion brought into the party ranks a
large number of men who are it's
Liberals or even Socialists in every
thing but their tariff views. Now
this new element is beginning to
cause trouble. It chafes under the
venerable traditions of the leaders
and has no sympathy with the
doctrines which It considers behind
the times. 1t is In open reHellion
against policies repugnant to the
masses and against that form OF gen
eralship which consists mainly OF a
pose of lofty detachment from the
everyday affairs of the world. The
Insurgents are preparing to go into
battle on their own account. Pro
lection will be their main issue but
land and social reforms will not be
overlooked.

CRIppEN
IS GUILTY
SAYS JURY
WAS OUT 20 MINUTES ONLY IN
REACHING A VERDICT OF MUIR
DER In THE FIRST DEGREE
CRIPPEN SENTENCED TO BE
HANGED.
IrN1rnD rnrss LEASED w1Rn.l

London, Oct. 2zA-Dr. Hawley
II. Crippen, stripped by British law
of technical defense, handicapped by
the disappearance of his wife, and
hobbled by the finding of her multi
ated body in the cellar of his North
London home, was found guilty OF
wife murder this afternoon in Old
Bailey court, and was sentenced by
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone to be
hanged.
The plausible, detailed story that
Crippen told of the disappearance of
Belle Elmore-Crippen, the circum-
stantial account he gave of their do
mestic life and his Apparent inability
to account for the presence of the
acid-eaten body at No. 39 Hilldrop
Crescent, failed to prevent the jury
from staying out more than 20 min
utes considering the evidence.
The feature of the closing hours
of the trial was Prosecutor Muir's
impassioned address to the jury and
tAC luSll utbiOho VI ilOi AiNClpbOhpI
which we're considered favorable to
the crown
Muir contended that the chain of
circumstances conflicting Crippen
with the murder of his wife was
complete. and Crippens own testi-
mony damaging.
"If there were no other means of
identification of the body than the
abdominal scar" he said, that scar
would be sufficient. Witnesses for
the crowd showed that Mrs. Crippen
had a similar scar, and Crippen ad-
mitted it.
"The prisoners attempt to show
that the relics might be those of
some other person was too fantastic
to be believed"
Lord Alverstone's instructions gen.
orally supported Muir's contentious.
Crippen was fairly composed when
he heard his fate. He had been in a
measure prepared for the worst by
the instructions to the jury. Lord
Alverstone, before reading the YER
dict aloud. warned the spectators
against making any demonstration
when he announced the verdict.
The death seV,ence was the only
one possible under the law, and there
is a chance that it may be commuted
to life imprisonment Recently a
change of feeling has resulted in
England over the severe sentences
. imposed upon defendants convicted
on circumstantial evidence, and Grip
pen may benefit by this feeling suf-
ficiently to escape the gallows.

The year 1910 has seen more old
landmarks disappear from Salem
than most any previous twelve
months in its history.
The most prominent among these
are the old shacks torn down to
make room for the bly, Theatre
block. In all parts of the city.
dwellings that were in their day at.
tractive residences, have been either
dismantled or moved away to make
place for more pretentious struc-
lures. In all probabilities, before
the year is over the Verani build
ings on State and Liberty streets
will be wrecked and be replaced by
a modern brick building, a lease
having been given on this property
with a provision that before the
first of the new year such building
be started Another land mark,
while not removed, has been so al
tered as to give 1t the appearance
of another building, is the old Will
lamette, now the Marion hotel,
which is soon to throw open its
doors to the public.
The present building season Is
rapidly drawing TO close, as many
persons refuse to undertake build
ing during the rainy season, yet not
withstanding this antlpathy to win
ter building, there are many resi-
dences even now just starting and
one OF the largest business blocks in
the city is to be erected this winter.
This is the new BLY, Theater on
State street.
Many buildings have been COM
pleted during 1910 as the records
will show and among them some
very creditable ones. In all parts uf
the city a large number of dwellings
have gone up and in most cases, very
attractive homes.
It is doubtful II any section OF
the city has developed more during
the present year than has North Sa-
lem, a district heretofore looked up
on as an impossibility. The new
sewer, the Capitol street improve
ment and the many blocks Of other
street improvement coupled with
the low price of property, has had
