Taft on His Party's Crisis.

Springfield Republican,: President
Taft made public admission in his New
York speech of Saturday that his party
is torn with dissension in the nation
and deeply infected with corruption in
the Empire state. His references to
fractional discord were frequent, and his
fears of democratic victory in the
coming congressional elections were ill
concealed. He practically admitted
that the recent tariff revision was
working heavily against the party
among the people, and the public up
roar over the high cost of living seems
to be particularly disturbing to him.

The Coming of the Comet.

Twas long foretold, at last it came
A marvel of the Creators hand,
An honor to its discoverer's name;
And cleaned in splendor Ger the land.
Though small at first, it soon grew large
As it traversed the heavenly course,
Like silent. silvery, mysterious barge
From the Almighty source.
As precursor of the coming night
1t trod the heels of the setting sun,
Declaring to all with glorious light
That by its advent, day was done. 81. p.

private dinners. An old friend called
to see him one night. Hill was out
to dinner The friend took a COM
Portable armchair in the senator's
room, read one of his hosts valuable
books, smoked cigar and waited.
Hill came in at II o'clock greatly an
noyed. "There!" he said as he yanked
the boutonniere from the lapel Of his
dress coat and flung 1t on the floor
and stamped on it." four hours vast
ed! Four hours of twaddle, think of
1t! Four hours never to be recovered,
and all spent in such silly way"
"Think of the clever men you have
met and the beautiful women" said
the friend.

claimed Hill. "All fribble-frabble.

IS WILLING TO
SHOULDER BLAME

WASHINGTON, May 14.-George F.
Schwarz, chief of the field service Of
the forestry bureau, came to thu rescue
of his chief, Secretary Ballinger, yester-
day, taking upon his own shoulders
much Of the blame for things for which
the secretary is under fire. The testi-
mony of Schwarz was heard before the
Ballinger investigation committee yes
terday afternoon, after the secretary
had concluded his own testimony.
Schwarz stated that the clear listing
of the Cunningham claims was done by
him on his own responsibility, the sec
retary only initiating the papers con-
cerning the claims upon which action
was to be taken.
Secretary Ballinger, in his testimony,
ended tamely, there being an absence
yesterday of the sensational features
that have made the investigation one
of the affairs of paramount interest
here.
