Stock market prices were weak

selling pressure from the professional

average advance OF 10 points from the
low figures recorded in the first week OF

yanced as the chief argument for lower

BALL GER WILL STAY
IN P. ESlDEk1'S CABINET
Mr.. Taft is Said to Still Believe Thar
the Secretary Of the Interior
Is the Victim of a Con-
spiraey.

Washington. Sept. 2S.-Secretary
9allinger's resignation was not pre-,
senged at the first full cabinet meet.
ing What is more to the point, no
resignation from the secretary is ex.
pected. Finally. if the secretary did
no, hand in his resignation based on
the issues of the Ballinger- Pinchot
controversy, President Taft would
promptly refuse to accept it.
The president stands fatty with his
secretary of the interior. He believes
tina, Ballinger has been maligned and
prosecuted by combination that
closely resembles a conspiracy: and
IL tae view OF the president is cor.
rectly interpreted by his friends. Mr..
Tar proposes to show in this matter
that II is not possible to hound an
honest official from public Office
through conspiracy delibcratel!
formed for that purpose.
There is reason TO believe that
Mr. Rallinger informed the president
thai his resignation was ready when.
ever his chief demanded it and was
promptly advised by the president TO
the above effect No one realizes
better than the president that BY rea
sor of the Pinchot contr, versy the
confidence of large section OF tn.
people in Mr. Ballinger has been
shattered. On the other hand the
