but for the publications and these
men, he declared, there would have
been done in this court an act of injus-
tice as great as that done Dreyfus in
France and for very similar reasons. AS
suggested by Mr.. Vertrees, men In ex-
allied positions have got to be protected
at all hazards and If they cannot be
protected by truth, then lying must be
exerted for that end"
Mr.. Ballinger will bear to his
grave scars placed upon him by
reason of the disappointment and
revenge of men incapable of generous
Impulses and sentiments" exclaimed his
defender, Attorney John ]. Vertrees,
during a continuance of his summing up
argument before the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigating committee today. More
than two hours Mr.. Vertrees devoted to
the contention that there was nothing In
Mr. Ballinger's connection with the
Cunningham Alaskan coal claims, either
as commissioner of lands, as secretary Of
the interior or as a private citizen, that
justifies criticism.
He insisted that It had been shown that
Ballinger had originally clear listed the
Cunningham claims on recommendation
of Chief of Field Service Schwartz, and
that when later, after his retirement
from the land office, he had drawn up the
Cunningham affidavit his conduct was
not improper. because his former position
gave him no information that by any
possibility could be used to the prejudice
Of the government. He also denied there
was any ruling in the department max
ing 1t improper for him to represent the
claimants under the circumstances.
GARFIELD ATTACKED.
Former Secretary Garfield and former
Forester Pinchot were bitterly excoriat-
ed. Mr.. Vertrees said Garheld's attack
upon Ballinger was the act of "disap-
pointed Office seeker" who, as secretary
might be compared with $40 horse under
a 500 saddle, who realized that stripped
of his saddle he would find himself
mere pony" Mr.. Vertrees said that
Pinchot, as forester, reminded him OF
a small 'possum up a very big tree"
Vertrees asserted that every official act
of Mr.. Ballinger had been above re-
proach," but that even if he mad been
guilty of improper conduct iii preparing
the Cunningham affidavit, the committee
would have no authority to censure him
for what he had done as private citi-
zen. He asserted. however, that he did
not care to stand behind that question
and that if the committee thought he
had done anything improper he should
be censured.
DIDN'T WANT OFFICE.
'Mr. Ballinger,'' he said, accepted
this office with reluctance. When it was
rendered him, he declined, which it seems
utterly precludes the idea he entered it
for any improper purpose"
If the committee should decide against
Secretary Ballinger, said Mr.. Vertrees,
they would have to cast an imputatiOn
upon every man in the interior depart

! Cunningham claims.

OF THE JANOT CASE

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Alarmed over
the decision of the supreme court Of
the United States in the Jandt case,
general attorneys from a score of big

cars engaged in interstate commerce
were liable to attachment proceedings
in states other than that in which the
common carrier was incorporated.
Counsel for the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis Railway compa-
ny, a party to the suit, has submitted a
petition for a rehearing. Counsel for
many Of the big roads are expected to
appear in court to ask for the privilege
of intervening.

A "Mite.u

The difficulties experienced by oul forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite seems to have been a third of Flemish penny, but the use of the word for the widow s coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half far. thing, and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books "mite'' stands for various val ues not represented Icy actual coins but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth o1 B penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of a farthing, and in 1614 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-l>on don Chronicle.

A Dramatic Incident In the Career os
 General de Gailifet.
 It was on that fatal day. Sept. 1. 1870, that General de Gallifet distin- yuished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear ths elevation at lily, with the view os opening passage toward Floing where 1t was hoped the army might re treat. Tbe first charge overthrow the Eightythird regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of th French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if the, sould renew the charge with W at re mained of the light cavalry ana hus sars, and then Gallifet answered ii the words that have become historic "As often as you wish. general, as long as man remains!" The second charge was not so successful as the first. Only few men, with their gen trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gems"
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tie. AS Gallifet was returning with a few survivors. their horses for the most part wounded or foundered. he passed before the Nassau regiment The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "vive rempereur." and the German officers acknowledged the salute. some of them applauding- Westminster Gazette.
