CLEAR BALL|NCER.
Republicans Report Greatly
Differs From Democrats.
BIG FIGHT IS TO COME SOON.
In the House the Minority Finding
May Be Accepted, but In the SEN
ate the Members Will Stand by
Secretary of the interior.

Washington, Dec. S.-The majority
members of the Ballinger- Pinchot in
vestigating committee absolutely clear
Secretary Ballinger of the charges Of
misconduct made against him by Gif-
ford Pinchot and others and sustain
his administration in every particular.
The majority report submitted to con
gress is in striking contrast TO that
made last September by the minority
members. who held that Mr.. Ballinger
was unfit for office and ought to be
dismissed
The fight over the two reports now
will be carried into the senate and the
house. The minority members of the
investigating committee decided to
maintain that their report drawn last
September is the bonafide report of
the investigating committee and that
the document submitted just by the
majority members is without stand
ing.
The minority members will contend
that their report was made by a ma
iOrity of the committeeman who at
tended meeting regularly called by
the chairman in st. Paul last Septem-
ber and that such is the only ina
iority report entitled to consideration
10y congress.
Several of the Republican members
Of the committee were absent from the
st. Paul meeting, and the Republicans
hold that the Democratic report was
a "snap affair"
One Republican, Representative Mad
ison of Kansas, an insurgent, Joined
the Democrats in the report they made
three months ago condemning Secre-
tary Ballinger. With the assistance
of Representative Madison the Demo
Gratis controlled the st. Paul meeting
by vote of 5 to 4. and when the reg
ular Republicans realized what the
Democratic game was some Of them
withdrew from the meeting so as to
prevent the presence of a quorum.
A special rule will have to be adopt
ed in the house before the fight over
the reports can be carried to the floor
but the Democrats believe they will
be able to get enough votes. In the
senate the question can be brought up
without difficulty.
Friends of the administration expect
10 see bitter contest and perhaps a
good deal of mud throwing over the
two reports. They expect Clifford
Pinchot to stir up further trouble.

was signed by Senators Nelson OF

fornia, Sutherland Of Utah and Root

mistake" She Says.

New York, Dec S.-Mrs. Theodore
p. Shonts, wife of the president of
the Interborough company, arrived by
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and
got into trouble, for the second time
in the last several years, with the Gus
toms people. Mrs. Shonts had in one
of many trunks jewel case contain
ing what Deputy Surveyor John Racz-
kiewicz estimated to be jewelry valued
abroad at about $4,000 She made no
mention of it in her declaration also
she made no effort to conceal it. Mrs.
Shonts said she had no intention Of
cheating the government.
Among the jewelry was one pearl
necklace, one diamond necklace and a
diamond pendant, all Of which Mrs.
Shonts admitted she had obtained
from a jeweler in Paris. She said she
supposed the jewels were not dutiable
because she had exchanged for them
other jewelry that had paid duty here
when originally imported or had been
manufactured here.
Collector Loeb and Surveyor Henry
will pass judgment on the matter.
The jewels are being held.

SANE CHRISTMAS NEXT.
Why Should indiscriminate Gift Civ
ing to Grownups Continue?

Why Should lndiscriminate Gift Civ
ing to Grownups Continue?
Is the movement for a safe and
sane fourth of July to be followed by
one for an economical Christmas? Do
the majority of people feel that the
Christmas present has been as much
Overdone as the frecracker, the toy
cannon and the pinwheel2
1t must be understood in the outset
that the movement to curtai Christ
mas giving has no relation to the chill
dren. The JOY of the little ones in
their Santa Claus and his bounty is
too beautiful a thing to disturb. 1t is
only the presents 10 the grownups, to
every Tom, Dick and Harry with
whom one happens to be acquainted,
the presents that are a burden and a
bore both to giver and recipient, that
II is proposed to abandon.
Frequently these are given through
a sense of duty and cannot be af
forded by the donor. Just as frequent
ly they are not needed by the one on
whom they are bestowed. Thus the
outlay is not justified. 1t is depriva-
ton to one without any corresponding
benefit TO the other The recipient In
turn feels 1t duty to make presents to
the giver, presents that perhaps he can
as little afford and that his friend
as little needs. Thus both have had to
make sacrifices for which they have
received no equivalent good. 1t is this
sort of giving when we expect re-
turn, this giving through a sense of
past or prospective obligation, against
which there is widespread revolt. 1t
is not in harmony with the Christmas
spirit. 1t is commercial, onerous and
lacking in .spontaneity. 1t makes us
dread the return of the holiday when
we should welcome it with joy.
Fortunately the habit is dying out.
Without any preconcerted movement
| 10 that end it is still being dropped by
mutual consent. A has reached the
point of insurgency where he doesn't
give hang whether Il remembers him
| or not. He will not rack his brain
and depete his pocketbook buying un-
welcome things for b, only to cause b
in turn to hurl, perhaps grudgingly,
equally unwelcome things at his own
head. All unknown to A the same In
surgency has been working In the
heart of B, and the irrational custom
falls of its own weight. In conse-
quence the day on which we celebrate
the birth Of the Son of Man ceases to
be bargain counter exchange.
With the children it is different. We
give to them for the pure joy of It,
without any hope of return. We enter
into their joys and partake of the
Christmas spirit by sharing II with
them. Thus we unconsciously fulfil
the command Of him in whose honor
the day is celebrated and veritably be
come as little children.

MADE BAD BILLS.
MisspeIIed Word Betrayed
Counterfeit Currency.
WERE IMPORTED FROM ITALY.
Stoker on Steamer Caught by Secret
Service Agents When He Was Try
ing to Sell Spurious Money to
One of Them.

New York, Dec. S-The secret serv-
ment made one of the most important
arrests ii has made in counterfeiting
case in many months when Caesar
Paotetti was taken as he stepped from
the Anchor line steamer Italia in New
York. On Paotetti were found $500
five-dollar counterfeit bills. According
TO the secret service officials, these
bills were made in Italy, and Paotetti
merely acted as the agent in bringing
them over here for disposition.
The engraver spells the English
word "treasury' "treasnrg."
Five hundred of the bills were un-
loaded on New York about month
ago. Paotctti was the boss coal stoker
on the Italia and is charged with try
ing to sell 500 more of the bills to a
federal agent for SS75 in regular mon
ey.
The counterfeit contains signatures
of the president and cashier of the
Mechanics and Metals bank, which
look real and which have passed even
through the windows of various New
York banks and business houses.
The quality of the paper, the scroll
work the series numbers, will pass
for the real thing. The engraver's
mistake was the misspelled word
"treasnrg" The red and blue strands
of silk that well born bills from Wash
ing show were copied so carefully
with ink that they appeared also to be
real . ntil one tore the bill across the
STRAND"
Before putting the bills in circula-
ton the distributors first took care to
crumple them and cover them with
CRIME.
1t was evident the notes had been
printed from engraved plates. The
federal agents decided there wasn't a
counterfeiter among the American
crooks now at large with skill enough
to turn out so clever a piece of work.
Chief Richard Taylor, head of the To-
cal secret service office, decided the
work probably had been done in Italy.
When the Italia got here the work
Of the agents had progressed so sue
eessfully that Paotetti was caught In a
trap set for him. He is held in S15,-
600 bail.

New York, Dec. S.-After consulting
with Commissioner Flynn, Inspector
Russell sent Sergeant Kane to Foster,
r. l., with directions to see the body
Of William H. Lewis when it was ex-
humed and to make sure whether or
not it was that of the William Lewis
for whom the police are searching in
connection with the body found in a
trunk in tenement house.
Sergeant Kane knew William Lewis
and is positive he can tell If the body
Of the man who died in Foster is the
man wanted.
Inspector Russell received letter
from the chief of police in Providence
telling what he knew Of the man who
died in Foster. The letter contained
newspaper clippings of the suicide of
his wife and said that Lewis seemed
TO think that he was being followed.

MEYER CUTS NAVY ESTIMATES
$4,000 Pay For Clerks Unnecessary,
Says Secretary.

Washington, Dec. S.-Secretary OF
the Navy Meyer has reduced the navy
estimates by $31S,OOO, bringing the in
crease Of pay Of the navy" from
$2,722. 400 down to S2,4O4,4 400. This
brings the total estimates including
the building program down to S12S,-
624, ,15s. On going over the estimates
it was discovered that the sum OF
S31s,000 had been estimated as pay
for paymasters' clerks. These clerks
are now warrant officers, however, so
that their pay is included in the item
of "pay for the navy"
The separate item Of S31S,OO0 was
therefore a duplication and has been
eliminated.

Some Objection TO the Deductions of
Scientific Men.


When Gilbert X. Chesterton goes down

him to be told by a passing biologist
that he is doing It because his remote
ancestors were quadrupeds. If he climbs
a tree after a stray cat. he is unconvinced
when starry anthropologist tells him
that he is doing it because he is essen
italy arboreaI and barbaric. He comedies
TO the scientists their knowledge OF sci
ence. But they do not know about the
sixpence and the cat. II is given to him
self alone TO know his own motives, his
own amiability, his own GENERALIZATION,
says the New York World
This is q form of sensitiveness that
readily may be understood. While we
know what we are, but not what we
may be, the task Of telling us what We
have been is one easy 10 oveTdo. The
