"a bill permitting benevolent, fraternal,

matter and to enjoy the same rates as
other publications of that class. It is
provided also that they may carry any
sort of general advertising. The latter
provision is to circumvent the ruling

hibited them from being carried as
second class matter If they printed
general advertising.

FORMER FORESTER eRiLLED az
ATTORNEY FOR RALLlNeER
AND OTHERS.
AGAIN CHARGES BALLINGER
MADE MEASUREMENTS
Pinehot Says He is Prepared to Prove
Secretary of Interior Told untruths-
Reads Hostility to Alaskan Forest
Reserve Into BaIIinser Letter-In-
tense Interest in Hearing.

Washington, March Awhile the in
terest in the Ballinger-Pinchot inves-
tigation had already been attested by
large crowds at the sessions Of the
committee, the crush to get in the
hearing room since Clifford Pinchot
took the stand has been such that even
the handling of newspaper copy out
Of the room has been at times made
possible.
Ninety-nine out OF every hundred
spectators who crowd about the COM
mittee table daily are women. Louis
r. CLAWS was the hero of the throng
while he was on the stand accusing
Ballinger, but he has gone into eclipse
now that Pinchot, the deposed forester
and friend of conservation, is holding
the center of the stage. When the COM
mittee adjourned Tuesday last the
cross examination of Pinchot had just
been started by Attorney vertrees,
representing Ballinger, and the other
accused officials of the interior depart
ment. Upon the resumption of the
hearing this morning there was every
indication that Pinchot would be on
the stand all day.
Examination Resumed.
AS soon as Pinchot took the stand
today Attorney Vertrees for Ballinger
asked him to state one single fact Of
his own knowledge (not hearsay) that
reflects upon Ballinger's official con-
duct. Referring to memoranda, he
said a "fact of my own knowledge Is
Ballinger's letter to the president Nov.
is, with which he enclosed Ronald's
letter. These letters contain misstate-
ments which have already shown and
am prepared to further show"
Vertrees pressing him further, Pin
ckot said he never discussed the Cum
ningham cases with Ballinger and the
only knowledge he has at first hand is
limited to writings that are not dis
puted. Pinchot said he and Ballinger
We're never more than friendly because
of his distrist of Ballinger's policies.
eaIIinger's Letter Introduced.
Pinchot admitted that he had not
read Ballinger's letter of protest con-
cerning the creation of the Chugach
forest in Alaska, and did not know
what reason he gave in the letter. It
was brought out that a committee rule
prevented his seeing the letter. He
was then given an opportunity to read
the letter. and was asked If it indicated
hostility to the policyo of conservation,
and Pinchot said he thought it did.
During series of questions following,
witness admitted that under his direc-
tion large Withdrawals of lands for
power sites were made when not neces-
sary, but he explained that this was
done to protect possible power sites.
He declared this was the policy of Gar
field. Wilson, and Roosevelt also.

BAkU OIL FIELDS,

ACTIVE FOR AGES
(By William H. Curtis, Correspondent
Chicago Record Herald)

BAKU, Russia, June 12.-In ancient
times, for thousands of years-no one
knows how long-the Persians used
TO come up to the shores of the Cas-.
plan sea, where the city of Baku now
stands, and scrape off the ground the
seepage from the springs of oil that
were found near the water. They used
these scrapings for lubricating pur
poses, for fuel, for light. for healing
wounds and for various other usefu!
purposes and exercised much ingenuity
in cleansing and applying them.
At some remote date-it may have
been as far back as the time of Daniel
the Prophet-the fire worshipers, the
followers of Zoroaster, found here sew
eral oil springs on fire. The naphtha
must have caught fire by accident, but
they considered 1t miracle, and
through many centuries made pilgrim

All forms OF bituminous pavements.
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are In fact artificial
stone payements. The Industry started
with the use OF the natural rock as
phait from the mines In the Val de
Travers. Canton Neufchatel. Switzer-
land. The mines were discovered In
l72i, but II was In ist9 that its utility
as a road covering was first noticed.
The rock was then being mixed for
the purpose Of extracting the bitumen
contained In Il for use In medicine and
arts. II Ia a limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen, OF which II yields
on analysis from s to II per cent,
IL was observed that pieces OF rock
which fell frcm the wagon were crush
ed by the weight OF wheels, and under
the combined influence OF the traffic
and heat OF the sun a good road sur
face was produced. A maeadam road
OF asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results. and finally In
1854 a portion Of the Rue Bergere was
laid In Paris Of compressed asphalt ON
a concrete foundation. In 1855 a still
larger sample was laid. and from that
time Il has been laid year by year In
Paris. From Paris Il extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
In 1869 and Cheapside In 1870 and In
successive years on other streets. and
then its use In street and road making
extended TO other countries.
