Republican Leaders Join in De-
mand That President Provide
Himself With New Secretary
of the Interior.
CABINET OFFICER SAYS
HE IS ON THE JOB TO STAY
Indignantly Denies RumorS of
His Retirement and Defies
Those Who Are IndustriousIy
Seeking His Political Scalp.



Beverly, Aug. 2.-There was in
creasing evidence here today that the
recent bombardment of the president
with letters from republican leaders
in all parts of the country protest.
ing that Secretary of the Interior
Balinger was proving an embarrass-
ment in the laying Of plans for the
coming congressional campaign IS be-
ginning to have Eject, if not upon the
president him en- at leaa' upon the
advisors who are closest to him.
No attempt was made today to deny
the reports that senator Crane at the
very outset of his political pilgrimage
In the west. had probably suggested
40 Secretary Ballinger at Minneapolis.
Yesterday that his duty to the party
might require that he sacrifice his
place in the cabinet. All that jecre-
tarN Norton would say after having
considered the matter nearly all day
was that it would be necessary to ask
Senator Crane.
The statement was reiterated, how
ever, that President TAFT would not
so much as lift his little finger If 50
by doing he could secure the retire
ment OF Secretary Ballinger as head
of the interior department"
In addition to the letters he had re-
ceived, the president has heard verb
ally from . number of the party lead
crs regarding the sentiment toward
Secretary Ballinger. They have talk
ed frankly with Mr.. Taft on the sub
iect, it is said, and while they have
agreed with the president apparently
in his position that nothing has been
proved against Secretary Ballinger,
they have put the matter purely on a
party basis and have said that the
campaign would be much easier with
the Ballinger issue eliminated.
The leaders have declared that the
fight Is going to he hard one at
best aud while they feel sorry for
Mr., Bullngcr they regard his pres
ence IN the cabinet as a handicap.
President Taft was frankly told a
few days ago that the movement be-
hind James r. Garfield in Ohio and
the votes cast for him in the state
convention were q protest against
Secretary Ballinger The Ohio lead
ers recognize the strength of this
movement by making many platform
concessions to the Garfield wing OF
the party.
There was no disposition In Bever-
ly today to treat the meeting Of Sem
ator Crane and Secretary Ballinger in
Minneapolis yesterday as accidental" !"
II WIS clearly intimated, however,
ihat whatever move was made against
Ballinger had its inception with the
active party lenders and not with
President TAFT. The president it can
he positively stated, viii never ask
Mr.. Ballinger to resign.
lf the secretary should feel called
upon 10 resign. however. there is said
To be little doubt that the resignation
would be accepted

Quebec Aug 2,-Dr. Hawley II,
Crippen has friends in London who
believe he did not slay his wife, Belle

proof of this tonight. when his jailer

(Signed) ARTHUR NEWTON,

This unexpected message brought
to the accused dentist in his lonely
cell the first CLEAN OF hope since
his arrest. And by coincidence the
bearer Of these good tidings was I'M

on Sunday swiftly crushed the fuGi-

Whether Crippen has accepted the
prolfered assistance could not be
learned tonight The identity of the
friends who volunteered their funds
In his behalf could not be asceTtained

here about the solicitor who signed
the cablegram.
Judging from his behavior since he
was arrested, the pale little prisoner
on Quebec Heights did not need the
warnings to remain silent A single
monosyIlable negative to his jailer's S
inquiry whether he wished to give out
any public statement was the only
message that came from him today.
