Taking Of Testimony h .B!a|hn.
5. ger Probe Concluded
ARGUMENTS next N LINE
No indications Of When Verdict
will Be Returned.


cation of the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy was brought to close so far
as the Introduction of oral testimony
is concerned and the case was set for
argument next Friday and Saturday.
Within fifteen days after the argument
counsel will submit brief and the CON-
mittee will then begin consideration
of the evidence looking to final de-
cision.
There is no indication as to when
verdict in the case may be expected,
but it is generally assumed that the
committee will spend several weeks
on the record before reaching a de-
cision and it is intimated that the
committee may not be ready to report
until the next session of congress. The
record comprises over 5000 printed
pages.
In fixing the date for argument and
other matters incidental to the clos
ing of the case the committee was
unanimous for the first time since the
inquiry began.
Attorney ertrees, for Secretary Bal
linger, informed the committee that he
did not care to present any argument,
as he did not regard it as essential,
but members of the committee stated
that they regarded argument by coun-
sci as important and Mr.. Vertrees &C.
quiesced. Five hours will be occupied
by each side. Mr.. Brandeis, represent
ing L. r. CLAWS, and Mr.. Pepper, rep
resenting Forester Clifford Pinchot,
will open on Friday, occupying the
major portion of their time. Mr.. Ver-
trees will follow on Saturday for Sec
retary Ballinger and Mr.. Brandeis and
Mr.: Pepper will then close briefly.
More Documentary Evidence.
Counsel for Pinchot reserved the
right to offer some documentary evi-
dence relative to the charge made by
Secretary Ballinger that the forestry
bureau had wasted over 100000 in
administering the Menominee Indian
reservation in Wisconsin and other
documentary evidence of unimportant
character may be put in the record by
Mr.. Brandeis and Mr.. Vertrees. To
all practical purposes, however, the
case is closed.
After the final witness had been dis
charged Representative Graham
brought up the question of intsoduc-
ing certain correspondence relative to
the charges filed against H. K. Love,
United States marshal for one of the
Alaskan districts, who was an impor-
tant witness for the defense.
There was some objection and in
the discussion it developed that Love
had been charged with dividing prof
it's from the feeding of federal prison
ers, had admitted the charge, but had
been excused by the department. of
Justice on the ground that what he
had done had been the usual practice
in Alaska.
It was decided that the counsel and
committee should go over the docu-
ments and decide later whether they
should be put in the record. Mr., Gra-
ham contended they should be admit
ted on the ground that they affected
the credibility of Love as witness.
A letter from Secretary Ballinger
was read earlier in the day stating
that he had been unable to find any
further correspondence between him
self and George w. Perkins, as called
for by Mr. Brandeis.

Zeider, who went to the Chicago
White Sox. And be it known that
Wits playing is every bit as good
as Zeiders and far prettier to see,
for he has style and dash that is
peculiarly his own. AS ground
coverer he is every bit Zeider's
equal and his pegging is marvel
ously accurate.
Although weighing only 100
pounds, his stops of whizzing lin
ers off the bats of the heaviest
sluggers in the Pacific Coast league
are marvellous. Frequently his
slight body has been turned COM
pletely around by the impact of a

ster never backs up and so quick is
he with hands and feet that he in

HELP! HELP!
BEAR! BEAR!

Help! Help! Help! is the cry
that comes down to Spokane from
the farmers of the Pend Oreille
country.
Bears, driven out of the hills by
the forest fires. are said to have
become so numerous and so bold
that they are causing serious dam
age to the apple crop of that dis
trict.
According to information re-
ceived in Spokane. the bruins are
seen almost daily in the door yards
of the farmers, and the animals
are becoming so dangerous that the
ranchers themselves are unable to
cope with them.
Hence the cry for help from Spo-
kane hunters. 1t is probable that
several parties of hunters will leave
for the Pend Oreille within the
next few days.

Liquor License
Falling Off

The number of liquor licenses in Cochise county is falling of gradually every year. This year, when the li- censes became due on the first of the month, and notices were sent out for collection, the returns received by the sheriff's office show that there are come eighteen less saloons in the county than there was last year, This does not include those that were closed up ih the red light district in Bisbee, as the majority of those licenses did not become due at that time. Three saloons went out of business in Pearce on the lst, the hotel bar at Fairbank was closed. several saloons in Douglas s;!ed 60 dig np .he necessary s2 0 and are now out of business, while Wilcox and a number of other small places in the county have lost one or two saloons. Between sixty-fi,e and seventy licenses have been issued out of the sheriff's office so far, so that the revenue to the county will be in the neighhorhood of s3O.Ot0, which goes to the school fund.

The Guggenheims
 Still Aggressive

Following closely on the heels of reports of smelters and reduction works to be built in or near Tucson, smelters projected, and smelters soon to be erected. Edwin s Berry, q rep. resentative of the Guggenheim Ex- ploraticn company, arrived here this morning from New York and is regis- tered at the Santa Rita, says the Tuc- son Citizen.
 He denied, however. the recent re- ports which have gained a measure of credence in the circle uf smelter cor porat:ons, that the Guggenheims as individuals are no longer important as factors in the smelling business.
 "There is nothing to it," he said. "The Guggenheims are as active as active as eyer in the field of smeIter industry, and are as aggressive as ever in handling their established busi- ness and reaching out for new busi- ness."

Protective Association
 Formed in Bisbee

The Merchants Protective Assoc:- stion has been organized in Bishe. It is under the management of E St. John, an expert accountant. The association will give z rating of all the individuals in the camp and will supply it's report sheets to all mer- chants or business people who are members.
 The plan of rating is to establish the honesty of individuals who use or apply for credit. The ability or will- ingness to apply for store or meat ma ket accounts, earning power and general reputation for honesty, will be the principal features of all the reports furnished.
 It is understood that the association will later maintain offices in Nacozari, Tombstone, Globe and Cananes. and from this string of posts will be able to keep track of many of the dead beats who move from camp to camp, leaving each place in debt after having established credit with the merchants.

Mexican Prisoner
 Made Getaway

An exciting incident occurred on the Tombstone branch of the E. F. < s. w. at noon today when a Mexican prisoner sent from Fairbank for 6 term in the county bsstile made a daring break for liberty. The pris- oner was in charge of Deputy Sheriff Arthur Heney of Fairbank, and while the officer was discussing the ttate- hood situation with a fellow passenger the Mexican prisoner made a hssty jump through an open window of the car. The train was coming up the steep grade near ComstOck Hill and going slow. affording a chance oppor. tunity for the prisoner to land with out serious injury. The officer. like wise, hastily followed the fleeing pris- oner. but not through the window. He swung of from the platform and gave chase. The prisoner having gained A good start, showed signs of speed that would do credit to a pro- fessional foot racer.
 The passengers observed the race until both were out of sight, and at last reports were still making time over the desert sands. It is more than possible that the prisoner will be overtaken sooner CT later, but the in. cident afforded little excitement for the time being.

False Impression
 Regarding Decision

The general impression to the ef- feet that the case of Cochise County vs. George B. Wilcox, which WAS re- gently tried before the supreme court, would decide the right of the clerk of the clerk of the court to charge fees allowed by the United States court in county cases, is wrong. The case that was tried before the court was the sc. ton brought by Clerk Wilcox to col- feet the fees in back tax cases, in which no judgment had been render ed, and which the county had refused to pay; so that there was no money paid to Mir. Wilcox, and as 8 conse vuence there will be no refund neces- sary on his part.
 The other case in which Mr. Will cox charged United States fees was in the criminal cases of the county, and which was allowed to go by de- fault on the exposition that the back tax case would decide it, is not in any manner effected py the decision re- gently rendered, 60 that the judgment against the county in the district court will have to be paid by the county. and the question AS to ~hether the clerk had the right to ignore the territoYisl sfstutee and collect United fees will have to be determined by another action.

Consider the Census Taker.

The census taker will be around before long and it is up to everybody to give him a patient hearing. He will have a good many questions to ask, but many of them are pertinent to his business: ::and for the good of the nation. They should be answered with accuracy and courtesy to the best of the victims ability.
 Not a few people are sensi- tive of their age, but they need not hesitate to tell the exact figures to Uncle Sans representatives. Uncle Sam will not give it away" The information secured is con- fidential. The census to be valuable should be accurate and everyone ought to be willing to do the right thing by the census taker. He, it should be remembered, has troubles of his own.
