pFeme Court.

resenting the business men and coun-
ell and G, s. crawGora and G. w.
Hurd, representing the city adminis-
tration, went to Topeka to argue tie

REES WOULD NOT ANSWER
DIRECT QUESTIONS

Mr.. Rees greatly disappointed hIa
hearers here Saturday when he re.
fused to answer frankly yes or NO.
these questions:
Do you endorse Taft's administers
tion?
Do you endorse the principles DR
the Republican party, as represented
by the majority In Congress?
Do you endorse the present tariff
law, as whole?
He said he could not answer those
questions directly but read pages Of
manuscript explaining and hedging
and trying to avoid the issue.
The Republicans Of the Fifth diss
trict do not propose to nominate
congressman who is against the Re
publican administration, who will 60

Gratis. When this district wants thaS

the quletest Fourth in Abilene in
many years.
The Salina delegation left Abilene

Solomon did itself proud with the
Fourth of July celebration. No town

Republican on the tariff and all the
other administration issues. BY his
silence the governor demonstrated
that he is discerning and knows when

poor policy to attack a man. He also
recognizes that the plan to defeat the
Republican congressman of Kansas

Hearing of Secretary to Be the Main
Feature of the Inquiry.

Feature of the Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The "pros.
ecuhon" in the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy indicated by the Congress
sional investigating committee that it
was holding its big guns in reserve
until Secretary Ballinger takes the
stand
Attorney Brandeis sought permits
sion to defer the cross-examination of
Frank Pierce, assistant secretary of
the interior, until after he had had
an opportunity to question Secretary
Ballinger.
Frank Pierce, first assistant secre-
tary of the Interior, who began his
term OF service in the department
under Secretary Garfield, and who
has testified at a previous session
that Secretary Ballinger never inter.
fered with the conduct of the Gun.
bingham coal claims after he had
turned them over to him, resumed his
testimony at the session. He denied
that he had told Ex-Governor Miles
Z. Moore that he could have his pat
ents without examination under the
law of May 26, 1908. The witness
said that Commissioner bennett has
so construed the law and had told
Moore that he could nave the patents
without hearing.
Edward c. Finney, assistant to the
Secretary of the Interior, testified in
confederation of Pierce and Clements.
Attorney Vertrees questioned the
witness regarding the letters sent in
response to an inquiry from Senator
LaFollette as to Secretary Ballinger's
policy on restoring to entry water.
power sites withdrawn by Secretary
Garfield. In those letters Ballinger
was quoted as saying that the with.
drawal of water-power sites had been
restored on recommendation of the
Reclamation Service.
The prosecution" put on Director
Newell and Chief Engineer Davis. of
the Reclamation Service, to disprove
this statement, both testifying they
had been ordered by the Secretary to
order the RESERVATIONS.
