Washington, Dec. S.-Secretary Bal
linger is a much abused and maligned
individual. The country can take TINS
on the word of honor of the regular
members of the committee appointed
by Congress to investigate the con-
duct of the Secretary of the Interior.
It will be observed that this de-
cision is much at variance with that
of the four Democratic members oil
the committee, who had the support
of one Republican, Representative Il.
II. Madison of Kansas. These hVe
previously had held that the charges
against Ballinger had been proved
They recommended his dismissal
Met at the Regular Time.
These Democrats, Senator Fletcher
and Senator Purcell and Represent
alive James and Representative
Graham, and the progressive Repub-
lican, Mr. Madison, met at the stipu'
lated time last summer, and there be-
ing a quorum present, adopted their
report. They assert that this is the
majority report.
However, the regular Republicans,
although al of them did not attend
last summers meeting, have major
ity of the committee. They have
submitted their report to congress.
Their report is signed by Senator
Nelson, Senator Flint, Senator Suth-
erland and Senator Root and Repre-
sentative Mccall, Representative Ohm
sted and Representative DENLY.
Had "Eye-singe" to Public.
After stating that the evidence pre-
scented related in the main to charges
of various kinds against Mr.. Balm
ger, and that these came chiefly from
two sources, l.. r. CLAWS and Clifford
Pinchot--the majority announced the
following conclusion:
THE evidence has wholly failed to
make out a case. Neither any fact
proved nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr.. Ballinger as being any
thing except competent and honor
able gentleman, honestly and faith
fully performing the duties of his high
office with an eye single to the public
interest"
In speaking of the luminosity" Gre
ated by differences respecting the con-
servation of natural resources, the
majority of the committee said that
the accusers evidently had this policy
deeply at heart and were evidently
disposed to take most unfavorable
view of the character and motives of
anyone whom they supposed to be OPP
posed to their views. They thus came
to regard Mr.. Ballinger with suspicion
and to regard the most natural and
innocent acts occurring in the ordi-
nary course of department admins
tration as furnishing evidence of some
sinister purpose"
