BALL|NGER'S
GOOD MOTIVE
He Was Solicitous That Land
Withdrawals Be Within
the Law
RECLAMATION ENGINEER TEST
He Acted Under Mandatory Or
ders of the Secretary of the
Interior.

Washington, March 11.-Arthur P.
Davis, chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service, testified before the Bal.
linger-Pinchot committee today that
in preparing the lists of lands to be
restored to the public domain for Sec
retary Ballinger, he felt he was act
ing under mandatory orders from the
secretary. The lands had been with
drawn, witness said by former Sec
retary Garfield, for conservation Of
water power sites. Mr.. Ballinger, ac-
cording to Mr.. Davis, repeatedly gave
verbal orders that lands so withdrawn
should be prepared for restoration
and that their withdrawal had been in
direct violation of the law and could
not be sustained.
Unsustained Claims of Prosecution.
Washington, March 1.-THE prose
cution claims that President Taft's
letter of September 13, last exoner-
ating Mr.. Ballinger from the CLAWS
charges showed that Mr.. Taft got the
impression from Mr.. Ballinger that
he had made these restorations only
upon recommendation of the reclama-
ton service. Chief Engineer Davis
also reiterated today that Mr.. Ballin-
ger had directed that lists of lands to
be restored should be prepared slowly

Tim Woodruff Throws Down
Senator Root and Gov
ernor Hughes
ADMINISTRATION Is WORRIED
Legislators of Empire State
Stand on Their Prerogatives
and Dignity.

Albany, N. Y, March 11.-George
w. Cobb of Watertown, n. Y, was
last night elected president pro TEN
of the New York Senate to succeed
Senator J. P. Aids. A telegram
which Senator Elihu Root sent from
Washington urging the election of
Senator Harvey D. Hinman, an ap-
peal in Humans behalf by Governor
Hughes at the eleventh hour, and the
influence of the federal administration
at Washington, proved unavailing
against the organization forces head
ed by Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff
of the Republican state committee
Although ostensibly, Cobb's victory is
a triumph for Woodruff and the ina
chine" the beaten side declares that
the Woodruff influence is less respon-
sible than the will of the individual
senators. The state senators bitterly
resented the dictation that might dis
credit their own Importance and au-
thority with their constituents. Ever
since Governor Hughes took Office an
effort has been made to break up the
coalition of the old local bosses. How
we'll this has succeeded was shown
by Cobb's election. The local leaders
who have retained their power rallied
around Woodruff and Cobb was chos-
en- not because the organization con-
sidered him an ideal candidate but be-
cause he was the strongest weapon
with which to defeat Root and the
governor.
Administration Leaders Not Pleased.
Washington, March 11.-Apparent-
ly considerably disturbed over the de-
velopment at Albany Vice President
Sherman and Representative McKin-
ley, chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional committee called to see
President Taft today. "I was not
pleased with the selection of Senator
Cobb" said Vice President Sherman.
"The other selection, (meaning Hin
mani would have meant plain sailing
for the campaign with no clouds or
squalls in any way. l would not say
the course of events complicates mat
terS but it certainly diSturbs them. -

into the street. Eventually the police

Mr.. Reynolds to the office for the full
term of four years. In December,
1905, he re-appointed him for a. Sec

The biennial report and legislative

brought down to the date of publica-
ton.
On April %, 1909, Governor Curry
rendered the position of superintend-
ent of the territorial penitentiary to
Mr.. Reynolds to succeed Captain John
w. Green, resigned. Mr. Reynolds
accepted the post and at once gave
the penitentiary the benefit of a thor
oughly up-to-date business system
which he had acquired by his training
in the Institute of Technology, in the
office of assistant and then secretary
of the territory; and in the bank of
which his father was president.
To use a common expression, Mr..
Reynolds simply worked wonders in
the penitentiary, making it a paying
institution and at the same time add
ing greatly to the comfort of the pris-
oners. To give fair idea of how sue
cessful manager of the institution
he proved, when the Rev. A. NJ. Man
dalari, S. j., the noted pulpit orator,
conducted a retreat at the peniten-
tiary some weeks ago he questioned
everyone of the 500 prisoners as to
their treatment and found but one
complainant among this large num-
Der.
Secret of Success.
One of the secrets of Mr.. Reynolds
success is said to have been his won
derful adaptability to mastering de-
tails without letting them engross his
entire attention. Through card sys-
tens, of which he was a master, he
could answer almost any question put
to him or which came up in his
studies of how to bring about desired
results
! When he retired from the Office of
secretary of the Territory he was made
secretary of the Republican central
committee and it was due in no small
measure to his systematizing the
work in the Republican campain that
Delegate William H. Andrews was re-
elected despite the sanguine hopes of
the Democrats to defeat him. Mr.
Reynolds was later appointed member
of the territorial penitentiary board
and as such he acquainted himself
with the physical condition of the in
stitution and began to formulate plans
to place it on business basis and
| then had the satisfaction of seeing the
success of his efforts while superin-
tendent.

vate lands in the original orders being
erroneous and without legal effect,
they have been eliminated from the
Withdrawals for the purpose of clear
ing the records.

JAMES v. RAYNOLDS DIES WHILE
On WAY To HEALTH RESORT
Superintendent of Penenary and Former Secretary Sue
cumbs While Train Last Night---Was 81
Years of Age.

Superintendent James Wallace Ray
nOlds of the territorial penitentiary,
and formerly secretary OF the terri
tory, and for three months acting gov
ernOr of New Mexico, before Cover
nor Curry entered office, died at
s o'clock last night before reaching
Tucumcari. Mr.. Reynolds, who
was but 81 years of age, had suffered
with a complication of troubles
brought on by a nervous breakdown.
He was able to be around however,
until a week or so ago and then it was
stated he was suffering with a severe
cold. He grew steadily worse, how
ever, and dysentery set in. 1ester-
day morning it was decided to take
him to Excelsior Springs, a health re-
sort in Missouri, and accompanied by
his wife, DR.. David Knapp and DR.. ].
B. Sloan, and a trained nurse, he
boarded a train of the New Mexico
Central Railway. 1t was hoped that
he would be able to stand the trip, but
he steadily grew worse and expired
before reaching Tucumcari. There
his body will be embalmed and it is
stated interment will be made in
Omaha, Neb., where Mrs. Reynolds
formerly lived.
Surviving Mr.. Reynolds are his wild
ow, who before her marriage was Miss
Baum, of prominent Omaha family,
and four children, three sons, James,
Richard and Robert, and one daughter
Dorothy. His parents, Hon. and Mrs.
Jefferson Reynolds, and two brothers,
Hallette and Edward Reynolds, also
survive him.
Great Shock Here.
The news of Mr.. Reynolds death,
which was received here this morning,
caused great shock to his many
friends and acquaintances and much
sympathy was expressed for his FAM
lily. Both Mr.. and Mrs Reynolds have
been very popular in Santa Fe social
circles.

time secretary of the Territory of
New Mexico, was born in Pueblo,
Colo, in 1873. He was the son of

territory in this position for year
and then entered his fathers bank at
