The joint committee Of the House and
Senate OF which Senator Nelson. OF
Minnesota, is chairman will not post
pone its report on the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation until after the November
elections. While the committee has made
no formal decision. three Of its members
said yesterday that a report would be
filed as soon as the case could be fully
reviewed.
member Of the committee made this
statement yesterday:
THE rumor that we had decided 70
defer handing down our report until after
the elections is absolutely without foun-
dation. I think 1t Is the desire Of every
one connected with this affair TO bring
Il to an end as quickly as possible. 1t
would be much more hurtful, politically,
70 keep the report under cover.
Politics TO he Left Out.
There IS at least a probability that the
case may be robbed Of its political Sig
nificance by two or three of the Demo-
cratic members signing the majority re-
port. II has been assumed for some
weeks that there would be three reports
one by the majority OF the Republicans,
another by Representative Madison, a
Republican insurgent progressive. and
the third by the Democrats. 1t is known
however. that the Democrats have been
in consultation with Mr.. Madison. with
a view TO reaching an agreement which
would enable them 10 sign the report
that he has in course OF preparation.
From all that can be learned, none of
the reports of the committee will hold
Secretary Ballinger 10 have been guilty
OF any wrongdoing. The minority report
or the report Of Mr.. Madison and the
Democrats, as the case may be, it IS
believed, will criticise the Secretary for
alleged lack Of propriety.
Arguments Begin Friday.
Arguments in the affair will be begun
before the joint committee Friday and
viii be concluded on Saturday. Five hours
will be given 10 each side. Fifteen days will
be given counsel IN which 10 file briefs.
The committee will, therefore, have the
complete record before II on June ID Re
view Of the testimony and the argument
win then begin. A member Of tho COM
mittee declares that the report will very
likely be ready for publication about the
middle Of July.
The report was again revived yesterday
that Mr.. Balliuger contemplated resign
ing his post as Secretary Of the Interior.
In this latest rumor # was related that
an agreement had already been made
whereby Mr.. Ballinger would retire from
the Cabinet soon after the joint commit
tee had completed its labOrs. Il have
no intention Of resigning," said Secretary
Ballinger last night. Il have not talked
with the President about resigning. nor
has ne talked 10 me on the subject.

The Logical Point.

Heretofore Eastern manufacturers have
found the Southland a difficult field in
which to introduce their goods, although
it is a well-known fact that the South is
UNNECESSARILY rich, and a section destined
to lead this entire country, both in natural
resources and manufacturing activity.
New Orleans is not only the metropo-
lis of this great, rich Southern country,
but is the focal point for all the CONNER
cial activity of the Southwest, South Amer
lean countries, Cuba, Haiti, and Mexico.
Owing to the peerless location of New
Orleans, buyers from all this section would
be able to visit New Orleans and attend
this Exposition, whereas, if located at the
proposed more distant point, only a small
percentage would be able to pay the i'm
mense transportation charge.
With the opening of the Trans-Andean
Railroad, Buenos Ayres, on the East Coast
of South America, will be brought nearer,
by SIX or eight days, to New Orleans by
way of Chile and the West Coast of the
Panama Canal than steamship line direct
up the East Coast.
New Orleans is by far the nearest large
North American Seaport city to the topo-
graphical and population center of the
great zone most Immediately affected by
the opening of the Panama Canal and
most Immediately interested in the new
markets the Canal will open up.
Exhibitors at the Worlds Panama Ex-
position in New Orleans would be offered
the chance of lifetime to exhibit their
wares before public representing the rich
est territory in the world More Southern
trade could be secured in this way in a few
months than five years Of urgent soliciting
could possibly produce, and at fraction
Of the expense.
New Orleans is nearer to the center of
the population of the United States than
San Francisco, and more than half the
people of the United States could attend
the Exposition at an average cost of about
\ SIS each-two cents mile Less than
5 per cent could possibly pay their way
or spare the time required to go to the
most distant city
1t is directly to the interest of every
Eastern manufacturer to see that New
Orleans is chosen as the site for the great
est exposition ever held in this country,
and celebrating the most colossal human
II achievement the world has ever known
