.BALu|NCER VERDICT
IS NOT NOW IN SIGHT
Committee to Meet Saturday
and Perhaps During Recess
to Prepare Report.

Remote are the probabilities for a
verdict" from the eBallinger-Pinchot in
vestigating committee during the pres
ent session OF Congress.
The committee held a meeting today
behind closed doors. 1t was announced
at it's conclusion that no action had
been taken, and that the committee had
adjourned until next Saturday. when
the case would be discussed further.
All members of. the committee were
present., except Senators Root and Flint
Mr.. Root is in Europe attending the
session of The Hague tribunal Mr..
Flint is in New York at the Roosevelt
home coming celebration.
Not Reedy to 60 Ahead.
1t was learned that there were no ex-
pressions of opinion as to the merits of
the case. Several members had not read
the briefs submitted by the attorneys,
and. therefore, were not prepared to be-
gin the preparation of report
In the event they find time to go
through these documents within the next
few days Chairman Nelson may call a
meeting for an earlier date than Satur-
day next.
Mr.. Nelson said, after the meeting to-
day. that he did not think 1T would be
possible for the committee to conclude
it's labors before the adjournment of
Congress He called attention to the
fact that it would be necessary for the
committee to weigh the evidence care
fully and to prepare a report setting
forth it's decision and the evidence upon
which 1t was based.
May Meet During Recess.
The committee has authority to meet
during the recess of Congress. 1t is pos
sible that the report will be completed
and given to the public during the sum-
mer or fall
There is no certainty as to the number
of reports there will be. 1t has been
assumed by many that the democratic
members and the republican "insurgent"
member. Mr.. Madison, will submit mi
nority reports, in event the majority de-
cides to make its report vindication of
Secretary Ballinger.

NOTHING IS CONCEDED
|N.REPLY TO MADR|z
State Department Asserts
Right to Prevent Bombard-
ment and Limit Blockade.

The State Department is preparing a re-
ply to the telegram of Provisional Presi-
dent Madriz to President Taft, protesting
against the attitude of the United States
government in connection with the revo-
luton in Nicaragua.
Madriz has addressed cablegrams on the
subject to the foreign Offices Of all the
other American republics, some Of which
have sought to secure an indication of the
purpose of this government.
What Madriz Objected To.
President Madriz's protest in the first
instance is against the action of the
American naval forces at Bluefields, in
cluding Commander Gilmer's prohibition
against the bombardment of that town.
The State Department holds that his ac-
ton in all particulars was correct and
upholds him at every point.
Madriz also protested against the
American note declaring his blockade of
Bluefields non-effective against American
ships and goods. On that point the State
Department reneWs its declaration that
it acted strictly within the line of prece-
dent and sound International law in re-
fusing to recognize the right of the Venus
to act as a blockading ship on the
ground that she was Outfitted and de-
parted from New Orleans through deceit,
Notwithstanding the MadrZ denial

Altogether it cannot be said that either
President Madriz's protest or the note
which the State Department is preparing

to restore peace in Nicaragua by a ter

In addition to complaints of American
citizens of the difficulties of carrying on
business in Nicaragua, the State Depart

similar complaints are being made to the

days.
The sort of education which Mr.. Ascfaru
condemned had not always prevailed in
England, il is said, but came in ar the
beginning Of the fifteenth century with the
Renaissance, or revival Of learning. which
also brought about the discovery Of print
ing. the discovery OF America. the Refor-
nation and other things more or less good
and useful People began at this time TO
think that a knowledge Of the great works
Of the old Greek and Lain writers was 50
very important that children should be

And SO the poor children whose parents
could afford 10 send them 10 school or hire
tutors for them had ., very sad time Be

been done by the monks. and the old pict-
ures Of their schools do not show the

fearing that the King when he came Of age
might have his head cut off in revenge,
asked the Priyy Council 70 assist and sup

the King to --intende more besily 10 vertue

ably didn't help him very much, for the
little Kings education turned out very bad
i. He grew Up, ii Is true, 20 be an &C

things would have been different.

A EIRE CAT.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Fire
dogs are common, but fire cats are unique.
There is a fire cat named Jerry who has
lived for many years in the hook and lad
deI house in West 18th street Although
he IS very cid now and has lost most Of
MS teeth. he is still ardent in answer
ing an alarm when he is upstairs in the
dormitory as the newest recruit
When an alarm comes in. Jerry, who is
coal black. springs from his slunbers and
goes down the polished brass pole with the
rest. Since he has grown old. he prefers
to make the descent On the shoulders of
one Of the frer1en. But even now he
sometimes slides down the pole by clasp
ing 1t with his front feet and he always
lands safely. Once On the lower floor he
leaps aboard the tender several seconds
coat that is placed there for him and goes
70 sleep
Jerry hasn't missed fire in seven years.
But he realizes that rs IS getting old and
SO saves his strength as much as possible
He spends at least twelve hours out Of
twenty-four curled up asleep on the truck
When the gong rings he opens one yellow
eye and cocks one ear, as though counting
the strokes. If there is nothing doing
the ear falls and the eyelid closes
The freInen look after Jerry's comfort
with the utmost solicitude The subject
Of his health is g. matter OF daily discus
sion. and when he dies it would not be
surprising if the truck house in West nth
street were hung with Grape. Hoping this
story viii interest you, I am. your friend
