Washington, December 4.-(SpeciaL)- Reports that a democratic member or Congress will introduce a resolution short iy after the converting of the House next Monday demanding the impeachment ot Richard A Ballinger. Secretary of the Interior, are discredited by prominent democrats today. The minority members of the Ballinger investigation commit tee met today and plotted out the pro cedure they shall ask in the House and Senate after they present their report or censure next week. It Is usual for the date for consideration of the report to be set. and after debate vote taken ,,pon the motion to adopt. This procedure will probably be followed in the Ballinger reports, both majority and minority, and no further action is premeditateu' at least by the democrats.
 1T don't see how we could impeach Sec retary Ballinger'' said a democrat to- day. "According to the statute high crimes and misdemeanors in office must he nroyed This has hardly been done. The fact that Mr Balilnger, by sins of omission and by the display of an at titude negligent of the public interest, has shown himself unfit for the position of Secretary of the Interior is not sur ficient for impeachment The only count unon which such impeachments, in my i,,drment. could be based is that MT.

Sentinel and Der Herold Der Christian Science.
 Mrs. Eddy took up her residence Tn Concord in 1SS9 and it was at her home in Pleasant View that she watched the great growth of her church and received many enthusiastic followers. Finally the number of visitors became SO large that she was forced to ask them to cease their calls. Nevertheless, ll June, 19O5 11,0O0 Christian Scientists visited Concori and heard a few words from their leader
 Controversy Over Identity
 During the last years of Mrs. Eddy's life in Concord there was newspaper controversy over her identity, and for several days the city was flied with re- porters drawn there in the ,harge that another person was impersnnating her. Mrs Eddy wtss obliged to exhibit herself to a Jury of newspaper men.
 Mrs. Eddy took up her ,ssidence at Chestnut Hill, Newton, in large stone house in 1908, and there hes-last days were spent. For the last three years she lived quiet, peaceful life, much of it seeming monotony. which her friends said was consumed mostly in constant study. From a window at Chestnut Hill could be seen the white dome of the Christian Science temple planted close beside the little mother church which she founded 30 years before.
 Mrs. Eddy's literary efforts were almost wholly in prose, but her poems have been set to music and ore sung as hymns at all Christian Science meetings

OF BALLINGER
 NOT, A PROPER PROCEDURE

enting of the Cunningham claims Which Secretary Garfield turned down. This MT. Ballinger could insist was not false in his knowledge and could plead ignorance, a plea which there are not facts to sub vert.
 .:In my opinion MT. Ballnger deserves censure and he has been shown unworthy of holding his office, but nothing erim- inal has been proved against him, and criminal proof is necessary to impeaeh- ment."
 The report circulated here that Representative J. T. Hefin of Alabama. a close friend of Representative Ollie James, who Is member of the com mittee, would introduce the impeachment resolution. MT. James says that he knows nothing about it.
 The status of the Ballinger case is just this: -l4faEl
 During the recent conservation con- gress in St. Paul the Investigating com mittee met in Minneapolis, 10 miles dis tant The majority members lodged the meeting and determined not to report until after the fall elections precipitated ramp meeting out of which grew two minority reports, that of the democrats and of Representative F..

MT Cox estimated that there were 120 Christian Science churches and socie- ties n the United States.
 Mrs. Stetson was at one time one of the most influential members of the church here, a close personal friend to Mrs. Eddy. and was often spoken of as her possible successor A stream of messages and callers went into the Stetson home. next door to the First church. today, but to all not in her confidence her maid brought word that Mrs. Stetson was lex cessively occupied"

 The Morning Post. the organ of the staunch tariff reformers, frankly blames MT. Bafour. '.ln the face of Saturdays returns says the Post, it is undispu,- able that the referendum proposal seli- ously weakened the unionist cause.'
 The Daily Graphic declares that 'Lloyd-G -Georgelsm" can only be defeated by d combination of the free traders with the tariff reformers.
 The Daily Telegraph says the tide Is not running with vehemence on either side, and 'it looks as though we were already in the shadow of another general election"
 The Daily Chronicle, the eading liberal morning paper declares that the cause of free trade and a free house of com mons is quite safe.

 London again proved disappointing to the unionlsts and encouraging to the lib erals who had not expected to regain Peokham The London boroughs, like Birmingham, also show increased ma jorities for the liberals. who expect their successes in Manchester and London will greatly influence the coming contests.
