Twenty years ago Norton started

Washington as assistant secretary or

II II said that President Taft fFstI
formed an admiration for Norton,
when he called at the White House
one day on routine matter. Con-
versation turned into another chan
mel and the executive casually ex-
pressed an opinion on certain SUBJ

opposite View. And he told the
president why; he advanced further
facts to support his position. and,
finally. got the executive to admit
that bis was the right way. II was
all done tactfully, and yet with eli
display Of backbone. that won Taft
right away.
So It happened that when Fred w.

Head OF Reclamation Service Is Slated
for Removal.
WASHINGTON, d. O., July Z. -
1t Is believed here that Secretary
Ballinger returned Wednesday
morning from Beverly with plans
perfected and approved by the presi-
dent for the separation Of Frederick
II. Newell. director, and Arthur b.
Davis, chief engineer, from the rec
lamation service. The hostility be-
tween Secretary Ballinger and Direc-
tor Newell has reached a crisis.
Director Newell must be discharg-
ed; he will not leave voluntarily.
Il will not resign" he declared
emphatically. More than this he
would not say.
Secretary Baliinger declined to
make any comment on the Newell re-
moyal rumoF. 1t Is understood,
however. that there are on the sec
retary's desk at the present time
some OF the letters to be sent Newell
and Davis. dropping them from the
reclamation service.
These letters may be held until
July 20. when the new army engineer
board meets to discuss reclamation
projects in connection with expendi-
lures under the proposed 100000
600 bond certificate issue. General
William Marshall, recently appointed
consulting engineer OF the reclama-
ton service, win sit with this board.
Chief Engineer Davis win have no
part IN its deliberations. Thus the
authority of Newell and Davis is to
be stripped from them by the army
engineers.

George Sheets does not say so, but
he strongly intimates that the reason
for the rupture between him and the
