BALL|NGER ON THE STAND
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR TEsTi-
FlEs IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
Charges that CLAWS Deliberately Lied
to the investigating Committee
Was Upheld by Roosevelt.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Bal
linger, testifying in his own be-
half in the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry,
charged that CLAWS deliberately lied"
to the investigating committee. Fol-
lowing are some of Ballinger's main
statements in his first round on the
stand: That when he clear-listed the
Cunningham Alaskan claims he acted
properly and would do it again. That
he never had any interest in Alaskan
lands. That CLAWS was never ham
pered but was pampered," in his work.
That up to the time he became land
commissioner he never had Cum
ningham claimant as client. That
Special Agent Jones swore falsely be-
fore the committee. That he only
took the job as land commissioner be-
cause Roosevelt and Garfield practic-
ally forced him to. That when he ap-
peared before the house committee in
favor of the Gale bill-an action cited
by the prosecution" to show that he
favored the sale of Alanskan coal
lands rather than Garfield's leasing
plan-it was not only with the ap-
proval, but even at the request of
Roosevelt.
Attorney Vertrees, for Ballinger,
conducted his direct examination. He
established as a basis for testimony
the facts that Ballinger was commits
sioner of the general land office from
March 4, 1906, to March 8, 1907, and
that his term as secretary of the in
terror began March 4, 1909.
Ballinger, apparently perfectly at
ease, briefly outlined his public serv-
ices in the state of Washington, laying
stress on his anti-vice crusade while
mayor of Seattle. "They knew l in
tended to enforce the law" he OBJ
served in this connection, "and did"
He said it was only upon the re-
peated solicitation of Senator Piles of
Washington, James R. Garfield, then
secretary of the interior, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he consented to
become commissioner of the general
land office.

patriotism" He said subsequently

den from my shoulders"
Ballinger then gave the "lie direct"
to CLAWS. Vertrees asked about the
conference CLAWS had with him in De-
cember. 1907.

crate misstatement in his testimony

AMERICAN DA|L|ES
FEAR PAPER PANIC
PUBLISHERS LEARN PRINT SUP
PLY WILL COVER ONLY SIX
DAY PERIOD.
APPEAL TO CONGRESS- FOR RELIEF
Say If Final Action in Adjusting Print
Paper Matter With Canada Is De-
ferred Newspapers Loss Will
Reach Millions.

New York City.-After John Nor
ris, chairman of the committee on
paper, had anne rnced at the meeting
of the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association that the government
reports from the paper mills showing
stock on hand April l, indicated that
there was less than q six-day supply
of paper for the newspapers, the as
sociation instructed its president to
send following statement to congress.
"As a result of strike in the mills
of the International Paper Co., the
price of news print paper for tran
sient needs has advanced approximate.
ly 50 per ton within the last five
weeks. A condition approaching a
paper famine is imminent. The COM
missioner of corporations reports that
the stock on hand at paper mills on
March 81, 1910, was 19,907 tons, which
is less than a six-day supply.
Within three years the newspa-
pers have encountered three such
panics in paper supply. Aggravating
as this situation is the official an
nouncement of the province of Que
bee that pulp wood cut from crown
lands after May l, 1910 cannot be ex-
ported. The American supply of pulp
wood is almost exhausted. Many of
the American mills are dependent up
on Canada for their supply of mate
rial so that the action of the provin-
cial authorities of Quebec brings to
the print paper industry of the United
States a menace which the special
committee of the house of representa-
tives after ten months investigation
of the subject, attempted to avert by
it's unanimous recommendation for
legislation.
'if final action in adjusting this
print paper matter with Canada is de-
ferred for ratification and approval by
congress until next winter, it is prob
able that the newspapers loss due to
this delay will reach millions of dol
lars. We ask that you promptly act
upon the bill proposed by the chair
man of that committee, James R.
Mann III. r. bill 1231D, entitled, a
bill to encourage and promote COM
merce between the United States and
the Dominion of Canada and author
izing the free entry of wood pulp and
printing paper from Canada, provided

pulp wood and wood pulp are re-
moved "

EAT MISSIONARIES
Make Meal on TWO Presbyterian Min
listers After Hours of Torture
Also Capture Thirteen Natives.

Seattle, Wash.-Blood curdling de-
tails of cannibal corroboree or
war dance which ended with the
devouring of two Presbyterian
ministers were brought by the
barkentine Mary E. Winkleman,
which has just arrived at Mukilteo,
Wash, from the Tonga islands in the
South seas.
News of the butchery, which oc-
Cured on February 5, was given to the
crew of the barkentine by a canoe
load of mission natives from Savage
island, where the human feast took
place. The barkentine was anchored
on Fua, at Tangabu, one of the Tonga
islands, when the canoe load of fugi-
lives reached them. They were flee
ing from native tribes who had de-
scended on their mission on Savage
island. The savages, they declared,
had devoured Rev. Horatio Hopkins
and his assistant, Rev. Hecktor Lau-
rie Mcpherson, missionaries of the
Presbyterian church, after torturing
them for hours.

ton that he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his

and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence, which is coextensive with the
civilization.
"The only change l would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left close

sires, for a generation. But after that
time am confident that 1t would inure

of democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,

be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States, whose vel.
