BALLINGER WON'T QUIT

The reclamation service came up
for a long discussion at the sum-

on Burgess Point, and stayed there
until night. He then left for Boston

refused to discuss the question OF the
removal OF Mr.. Newell. The White

too. but the impression prevailed that
Mr.. Newells finish is coming swiftly.
The report that Mr.. Newell is to go

he and the secretary Of the interior
do not agree.

Mddies Give Lives to Save Woma

WluulcS olVC GiNGS 10 gave woman.
With everything to indicate that the
young midshipmen met their death
in manner befitting the best tradi-
tions of the American navy, the bod
les of Sherman n. Mason of Newport,
r. L.; Grisby e. Thomas, of Union
Point, Ga, and Mrs Joseph Nee.
Bowyer, daughter-in-law of Captain J.
M. Bowyer superintendent of the
naval academy at Annapolis, Md, were
found in the river Severn on We'd
nesday. The bodies were found close
together, and there can be no doubt
that the midshipmen lost their lives
trying to save that of their compan-
ion,, who could not swim, and who had
probably gone off the shoal and into
the deep water that is on the side of
the bar.
The place of the finding was about
forty feet from the place where their
craft in which they went sailing had
been at anchor. One of the launches
picked up the body of Mrs. Bowyer
with graphing lines. A few minutes
later the bodies of Mason and Thomas
were found almost simultaneously.
They were about four feet apart and
each about six feet from the body of
Mrs. Bowyer
The closeness of all the bodies in
dicated strongly that they had gone
down together, the slight separation
being accounted for by the drifting
with the tide The circumstances
bear out exactly the theory that was
most strongly held that Mrs Bowyer
had got into deep water and the mid
shipmen had tried to save her life.
Mrs. Bowyer could not swim and
Thomas was very poor swimmer 1t
is likely, however that he did what
he could and that Mason tried to help
both. The result was the drowning
of all three. Whatever happened must
have been very sudden. From the fact
that the life preservers which were in
the boat were not used, it is probable
that all three were in swimming when
the accident occurred, and there was
no chance to get the life preselvers
out of the boat.

Endorses |nsurgent For United
States Senator.
MAY SPLIT WITH TAFT
It Is Believed the Ballineer-Pinchot
Controversy May Cause Break Be-
tween the President and Ex-Presi-
dent.

If Colonel Roosevelt is going to fall
in line and indorse the administration,
as a good many political sharps think
he will do, he is employing novel
method OF making his attitude known.
| The colonel announced that several
of the most rabid insurgent leaders in
the country are coming to Sycamore
Hill on Thursday. The conference
gives every indication of being the
most important gathering that Mr..
Roosevelt has participated in since he
got back from the other side, with the
possible exception of the meeting with
President Taft at Beverly last week,
| which apparently was not as satisfac-
tory to the colonel as the Beverly dis
patches would have it.
1t has been stated frequently in the
Oyster Bay dispatches that the eX-
president is cautiously feeling his way
before he lets the public in on how he
feels toward the administration. 1t
has been remarked, also. that the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy is the rock
upon which Colonel Roosevelt and
President Tafe are likely to split. For
the first time the colonel defined
clearly his opposition to Secretary
Ballinger by telling Representative
Miles E. PoindeXter that he will in
dorse his candidacy in the fight for
the United States senatorship against
Senator Piles, of Washington. Piles is
identified with the Ballinger wing of
the Republican party in the state of
Washington. PoindeXter is an out and
out supporter of Pinchot and mill
tant insurgent.
There is, of course, the possibility
administration in due time. but he Ger
tainly is in no hurry about 1t. He, him.
self, has summoned nearly every one
of his political visitors to Sycamore
Hill. He wants to hear the insurgent
side Of the story first, and then, per
haps later he may ask some of the
regulars to drop in and explain the
stand they have taken during his alb
sence. Judging from his program, the
colonel is going to work the New York
state and national game together. be
cause he believes they are pretty
closely related
In case the investigating committee
that is looking into the Ballinger-Pin-
chot matter brings in a report to the
president adverse to the secretary of
the interior, which results in Balling-
ers resignation or removal, whatever
probable breach now exists may be
healed. The colonel has been so fear
full to have his position known on this
mater that his personal comment is
unnecessary Without exception, his
Sycamore Hill guests have kind words
for Pinchot. and there is lurking sus-
picion here that Mr.. Balilnger will get
