Skull,

Windsor, July 4.-The festivities of
the Fourth of July were saddened
this morning when it was learned
that Henry Carton, the well-known
proprietor of Cartons restaurant was
dead from an accidental fall. He was
out early this morning with some
companions, for the purpose of ring
ing the factory bell, but they were
frightened away by people near there.
In running away they came to the
railroad bridge across Mill Brook and
in some manner Mr. Carton fell off
the embankment in the darkness,
striking on his head on the rocks,
some forty feet below, fracturing his
skull and breaking one arm. He was
unconscious when picked up and re-
mained so until he died some two
hours later.
He leaves wife, Mrs. Nealie

Director is incompetent -BaIlinger
States Positively That He Will Not
Resign His Job.
Beverly Mass, July 5.-The reor-
ganizaton of the reclamation service
was discussed at three hours con-
ference between President Taft and
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
at three hours conference here to-
day. Although no official information
could be obtained, it was freely re-
ported in Beverly tonight that the
future plans for recla ,ation work
do not include the rete' zion of Fred
erick II, Newell as the director of the
service.
Mr.. Baiunger would not discuss
this phase of the situation in any
way. 1t is known, however, that the
Secretary long has regarded Mr.. Ne
well as inimical to his plans on the
reclamation service.
Mr.. Newell has openly opposed Mr..
Ballinger and Mr.. Ballinger in turn
has publicly stated that he did not
regard Mr. Newell as the man for the
place occupied by him.
But when and how Mr. Newell is

was met by the usual crop of resig-
nation rumors.
II am not a gutter" he said "and
never have been. | didn't bring a re-
signation with me and will not leave
one behind"
After he had lunched and conferred
with the President Mr. Ballinger was
told of later rumor that. he would
resign after the special Congression-
al investigation committee had made
it's report.
81 am in this fight and l am going
to see it through" he sal in reply.
The recent Withdrawals of water
power sites, phosphate and petroleum
lands by the President, were discuss
ed with the President by Secretary
Ballinger.
I'm dealing with these lands" said
Secretary Ballinger, We will contin-

essential detail At the same time the
President proposes that an opportun-
ity for development shall be given.
The first work before us is the proper
classification of the lands which is

SECURITIES HAVE DECLINED.
Adjustment of Conditions During the
Past Half Year Responsible For
Decline.

New York, July 1-Dun's Weekly
Review of trade tomorrow will say:
Conflicting crop news and severe de-
clines in security prices have domin-
ated the situation during the past
week. The record of the half year
Just ended is summed up in the word
"readjustment' in the prices of COM
modtes and of securities and in the
last week of the half year the pro-
cess in the latter has made rapid pro-
gress. The stock market was ap-
preaching almost state of demoral-
ization on Thursday, when the de-
cline in prices was checked The
more confident feeling noted a week
ago, was chilled by reports of injury
to spring wheat by drought in the
northwest That some damage has
been inflicted to the crop in this way
seems to be beyond dispute but in
compensation for this loss the in
creased acreage must be taken into
account. The winter wheat harvest
moreover, is turning out better than
was expected. Latest reports indicate
quite satisfactory conditions as tc
cotton. In the iron and steel trade
increased demand has been created
at the expense of values Leather i!
weak and the shoe trade is very slow
