AMERICAN PLAYWRlGHTS BIGGER AND BROADER
 THAN THE ENGLISH
So Says Elsie Ferguson, Young Star Desires to Play Only American
 Roles

Miss Elsie Ferguson who scored so heavily at Jackson's theatre last evening in her new four act play en- titled, "A Matter of Money" says T want to play all sorts of roles, char scter roles, strong parts such as the younger American playwrights are offering. In my opinion, the Amerf- can playwrights are much bigger ard broader than the English. They try to learn all the circles in their coun- try and are not satisfied with know ing only their own neighborhood.
 American playwrights have a big vision and much virility, and I want to play their plays. I have no ambI- tion to play Juliet, but I would like to be able to play such a role because the ability to play Shakesp roles we'll means the greatest powers in the actress"
 Miss Ferguson was born in New York. Continuing, Miss Ferguson said: "It is a peculiar thing, but I don't believe I know three other, peo- pie on the stage who-were born there They all seem to come from some where else. Most of them were pret- ty well grown up when they arrived but I'm a real New Yorker. I went on the stage because I was fascinated by the idea of acting, and because l said Yes instead of No when a manager offered me chance.
 My mother sent me to a fencing school because she thought it would improve my grace. At the school I met a girl who knew a woman who was on the stage. She got us all quite excited over the prospect of some day meeting this wonderful per son. All I knew of the theatre then was what had learned by attending occasional matinees So I waited for the chance of learning it's mysteries from my friends"

BALL|NCER MAY NOT BE
 EXONERATED
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Washington, Aug 30.-Secretary of the Interior Ballinger may not be ex- onerated by a majority of the com nittee which investigated charges against him after all, according to a report which gained circulation here. It was suggested that Senator Root may not participate in the decision because he was forced to leave Wash ington before all the testimony was heard. A second feature of the re- port was that Representative Mccall, Republican, Massachusetts,, who has been classed as a Ballinger supporter may not be found on that side in the final line up.
 With Root not voting and with Me Call on the other side, the verdict would stand six to five against Bal finger.
 These reports were heard here to- day following word from Senator Nell son Republican, Minnesota, chairman of the Investigating Committee, to the effect that it is not certain that a meeting of the committee will be held next week at Minneapolis as schedul- ed.
 Mccall recently paid a visit to President Taft at Beverly and while no one intinates that the President would meddle in the work of the committee it is understood McCalls visit was for the purpose of talking over the Bal finger situation.
 If Mccall should not vote with those who fa-or exonerating Ballinger it is believed that he would unques- tionably write a. separate opinion.
 It is believed four Democrats on the committee will join in a report against Ballinger. Representative Madison, insurgent Republican of Kansas, is expected to write a sepa- rate opinion unfavorable to the sec retary. McCalPs report and that of Ballinger's supporters will make four decisions
