SOLDIERS SAVE YELLOWSTONE
TWO Hundred Troops Drive Flame
From National Park.

Livingston. The trained soldiers
of Uncle Sam fought all night to save
Yellowstone park from devastation
by fire. The drought nurtured con-
flagrations, which have been ravaging
the Northwest. yesterday invaded the
national park.
From Bell mountain came the news
that the forest was ablaze. A pillar
of smoke rising over st. Marys gave
signal of a similar disaster. Still
graver conditions were reported from
southeast of Lake Yellowstone by
smoke begrimed couriers.
AS quickly as orders could be given
200 regular soldiers stationed in the
park were marching against the foe.
That large areas Of the magnificent
trees fostered as part of the national
forest reserve were doomed to denuda-
ton was apparent from the first, but
the courage and discipline of the sea-
soned fire fighters eventually stopped
the advance of the Bell and the St.
Mary's mountain fires, saving miles Of
woodland from destruction.

Mayor William ]. Gaynor of New

TARIFF RAISES JAPANESE DUTY.
Oriental Trade Will Be Seriously A.
fected by New Schedule.

Washington, Aug. 13.-American
trade with Japan may be seriously af-
fected, in part at least, after July II
next year, when the duties in the new
Japanese tariff law will go into effect.
This was the fear expressed in a
statement made yesterday by the state
department, in which are detailed the
most important changes which will be
made by the new tariff law.
Unless reciprocal tariff concessions
are made before the date in question, a
number of important articles of export
from the United States which now en-
JOY low rates under the present con-
ventional Japanese tariff, will have to
pay considerably increased rates un-
der the statutory tariff.

SEC. BALL|NGER TO Be FIRED!
KANSAS AND IOWA RESULTS
START TAFT TO THINKING.
Next Movement Is to Depose Cannon
Party Leaders Are Stirred
to Action.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 10 - Certain
recent events, following incidents
of the past week or so, lead to the
conclusion that complete political re.
adjustment in circles close to Presi-
dent Taft is in progress.
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich called to
see the president. He talked with the
president IS minutes.
The elimination of Mr.. Aldrich, &C.
is soon to be followed by the retire
ment of Secretary Richard Ballinger
from the cabinet. The Republican
party is facing one of the most crucial
campaigns in it's history this fall and
the leaders who have been coming
more and more into influence with the
president are arriving daily to do all
they can to bring about an adjustment
of the differences within the party.
Mr.. Ballinger practically has lost
all of his personal fortune in defend
ing himself from the attacks that
have been made upon him. 1t is said
that one attorney fee alone in the
COuS ItSolOldl IuNCoClSdllOu COoI
$4,000. If the secretary is to recover
these losses, it is said, he must soon
resume the lucrative practice of law
which he left in his home state to
take up the duties of the head of the
interior department.
Retirement Date Fixed.
The retirement of Mr.. Ballinger is
fixed for Sept. Is. The congressional
committee will have reported by that
time, and the date is sufficiently early
to take the so-called Ballinger issue
out of the campaign.
The third move in contemplation is
said to be directed against Speaker
Cannon. 1t is not admitted in Beverly
that Mr.. Cannon will even be a can.
didate for the speakership.
Reports have reached Beverly that
the recent results in Kansas and Iowa
were due largely to the activity Of
Speaker Cannon in Kansas, to the
charges against Senator Aldrich and
doubt in the West as to whether he
actually intended to retire. The stu.
alton developed in these states evil
IDENTIFY has made an impression upon
the party leaders that has stirred them
to action.
