BALLINGER RESUMES.
Appears Before Investigation Commit
tee to Complete His Testimony.

Washington, May 5.-Secretary Bal
linger took the stand today to COM
plete his direct testimony in the Bal
ltnger Pinchot Investigations.
For more than an hour the commit
tee questioned Mr.. Ballinger about the
method pursued in entering on new
reclamation projects 1t was brought
out that many of the states had not
had their equitable share of these
projects. Senator Flint sought to as
certain who was responsible for this
condition. The witness admitted that
probably former Secretary Hitchcock,
under whose administration most of
the existing projects We're initiated
was responsible, and not Director
Newell of the reclamation service.
Mr.. Davis was at that time chief en-
gineer of the service.
A long discussion among members
of the committee ensued as to the
feasibility of various reclamation pro-
jects. Mr.. Flint wanted to know if it
were not a fact that a great many of
the projects had been initiated with
out regard to their feasibility, but in
order to give various states their pro-
portion of the money they had paid
into the reclamation fund through the
sale of public lands.
Mr.. Ballinger was not able to give a
direct answer but said in answer to a
question by Attorney Vertress that he
had not been able to get any of the
officials of the reclamation service to
express any doubt as to the feasibility
of any projects.
Mr. Ballinger contradicted two
statements made by Secretary Gar
field in his letter of November 6, 1909,
to President Taft. In that letter
which is in evidence, Mr.. Garfield said
that the cooperative certificate plan
of the reclamation service had been
approved by the state committee on
irrigation and Mr.. BaIlinger read a
statement from the secretary of that
committee stating that a careful
tee since 1903, had failed to show any
reference to the cooperative certifi-
Gates plan.
In the same letter Mr.. Garfield told
the president that Secretary Ballinger
had instructed Director Newell and
Engineer Davis of the reclamation
service to make the o. restoration of
lands withdrawn under Garfield, slow
" in order not to reflect on the pre-
vious administration. Mr.. Ballinger
said he gave no such order and re-
called that no such suggestion had
been made.
eff there was any suggestion, con-
tinued Mr. Ballinger, 'it was at the
instance of Mr. Newell in a letter to
Senator LaFollette suggesting such a
course. The fact is that restorations
were not made slowly but were made
in the course of two or three weeks as
fast as they came down from the re-
clamation service. 1t was not Ialr
and truthful statement. I had no
desire to reflect on the previous ad-
ministration, however, and did what

STATE ENJOYS A rain.
Old Sol Hides His Face and Gent With
Sprinkler Busy.

Topeka was visited by a good soak
ing rain today, which began early in
the morning.
Reports received by the weather bu-
reau and the Rock Island and Santa
Fe lines indicate that Kansas IS en-
joying the first general rain OF the
season. The rain has been the heaV-

tends from the southern part of the

two counts assault with attempt to
kill and kidnapping. The kidnapping
feature of the case will come up first
According to the defense the kid
naping feature includes two distinctive
points-(D the taking of the child by
force from its real mother, and CD
it's forceful removal against the will of
the child. If these matters are dis
tinguished, the old time trouble over
the maternity of the incubator baby
will come up again.
County Attorney Schenck does not
think that the maternity of Marian
Bleakley will have anything to do with
this case. but Attorney-in- Chief Fried
berg believes that this feature will be
introduced as heavy evidence.
Attorney Friedberg and his able
staff of Crane and Woodburn Brothers

primed for the battle. Friedberg will
not make his statement to the jury
until after County Attorney Schenck
has presented his statements.
Enjoying Their Stay.
The defendants are spending all of

Woman Not Arrested.
There was no little excitement in
Holton, Wednesday afternoon, when
the sheriff's force came from Topeka
with warrants for the arrest of two un-
known women who came from Kansas
CITY in an automobile and who were
to be the wives of Joseph N.
Gentry and Captain Tillotson.
1t was thought that one of the women
was the woman who had been selling
toilet soap near the Bleaklev home in
Topeka at the time of the kidnapping.
She was suspected of being connected
with the case.
However, the sheriff of Jackson coun-
ty claims he was mistaken in the wo-
men and the arrest was not made.
