onstration OF anti-Japanese feeling by

to develop into row OF international
proportions as the result of a refusal

to attend a ball given In honor OF the

The ball was scheduled to take place
at the Baltimore Hotel, the guests OF

When the fair ones Of Pasadena de-
cllned TO attend. the invitations were
cancelled.
Incensed by the animosity shown by
the society people. Admiral Nashiro,
commanding the Japanese vessels, to-
day called on the invitation he had
previously extended to the school

POINTS FOR
BALLTNCER

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE sum
mary of the report issued by the SEN
ate committee oxonerates Secretary
Ballinger The committee says in
part:
"The report of the committee is
volumlnous, containing 81 printed
pages
"The evidence presented to the
committee related In the main to
charges Of various kinds against Sec
retary Ballinger. and Il was only in
cidentally and to a limited extent
that the conduct Of the other officials
was questioned or in Issue.
"The charges against Ballinger
came chiefly from two sources-Mr.
CLAWS and Mr. Pinchot
"The charges appear to have had
their origin In a strong feeling OF
animOsity created by a supposed diff
ference in policy respecting the con-
servation OF natural resources. The
accusers evidently had this policy
vindictively at heart and we're vindic-
lively disposed TO take a most un-
favorable view of the character and
motives of any of whom they sup
posed TO be opposed 10 their views.
They thus came to regard Mr.. Balling-
er with suspicion and to regard the
most natural and innocent acts oc-
curing In the ordinary course Of de-
partment administration as furnish
ing evidence Of some sinister purpose.
A great mass OF evidence has been
produced in the effort to support this
view of Mr.. Ballinger's conduct.
THAT the whole field Of evidence
has been coverea we cannot doubt,
since for weeks We listened to all the
petty squabbles and iealousies of the
subordinates i'm the Interior Depart
ment and the Forest Service. and
were even furnished with the in
formation secretly secured from Mr.
Ballinger's confidential stenographer
who had charge of his private cor
respondence.
"The evidence has wholly failed Ia
make out a case. Neither any fact
proved nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr.. Ballinger as being any,
thing but a competent and honorable
gentleman, honestly aud faithfully
performing the duties Of his high Of
fee with an eye single to the public
interests"

INCIDENT UNLIKELY
TO BE IMPORTANT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Dec Efforts to
heal the breach between the Japanese
naval officers and the people of south
ern California as result Of the re-
ported refusal OF Pasadena society
girls TO dance with them, probably
viii be made through an attempt to
show the Japanese officers unusual
hospitality In other places.
Neither the Japanese embassy nor
the State Department has been Off
cially informed Of the affront to the
Japanese officers.
The view Is taken here that if the
California girls refuse to dance with
Japanese officers the government Of
neither country can force them TO do
so. For this reason the incident is
not likely to become the subject Of
correspondence said a

XMAS TREES
COMING SOON

Within a few days forest of
Christmas trees will spring up I'm the
local freight yards. While fine in
quality, better, than they have been
for years, It is said, the quantity of
the trees shipped from the North is
not all that could be desired. AS
consequence, the price will not be
low.
The late fall and early winter in
the northern part of New England
have been exceptionally cold, and
while this is good for the trees and
Improves their condition, Il makes
them hard to get.
Hardy as they are, the woodsmen
hesitate to go into the chill depths Of
the forests after the trees, and there
was more II. difficulty than usual,
therefore, in getting the pines TO the
market.
At wholesale the trees will bring
from SEQ to 500 a hundred. At re-
tail they may as a rule, be bought for
from 81 to 50 apiece. There Will, OF
course. be prices both above and be-
