| ment.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The long strife
between Secretary Ballinger Of the de
| partment of the interior and Giffort
/ Pinchct, chief forester. came to q head
when Senator Jones Of Washington In
itroduced a resolution providing for the
Investigation Of the department and
the forestry service. The resolution
Icalls for committee Of six senators
appointed by the vice-president and
six members OF the house named b.
the speaker. The committee is glveH
full power for thorough probe and al
hearings, according to its terms, VIII
be public.
The committee Is empowered tt
make a thorough investigation Of the
administration during the recess o.
congress or during its, sessions, ant
to subpoena witnesses and require the
production Of all papers and informa
ton necessary.
The resolution provides that thu
committee shall report to congress all
Its findings and that all presons re
fuslng to answer questions in its hear
ings shall be guilty Of contempt o.
court.
! Senator Jones said In part:
1.-THE press and magazines Of the
country for several months have beer
filed with charges against the secre
tary Of the interior and his once
These charges ranged from insinua
tons and innuendos to direct charges
of malfeasance and misconduct In
ONCE. which II true show that he hal
most unworthily discharged his trust
THE intention Is to secure the
broadcast and most thorough investlga
ton. II the resolution can be made
broader and more rigid. and more
thorough investigation secured II
should be done. This resolution Is moi
introduced in an unfriendly spirit tt
any one. but simply in the interest Of
honesty, decency and good govern
ment"
The story OF the BallInger.l lnchot
row began with the rufusal Of Richard
Achilles Ballinger-within few
weeks after he became secretary o.
the interior. on March 6. last-to with
draw from entry certain small portions
OF the public lands for so-called ranger
sites, at the request Of Clifford Pin
chot, chief Of the forest service Of the
department Of agriculture.
The dispute has grown, until II Is
admittedly the foremost feature OF
President Taft's administration.
In the days Of the preceding ad
ministration, James R. Garfield, the
then secretary Of the interior, by di
rection Of President Roosevelt, and
with the idea Of preserving the public
domain from monopolistic exploita
tion, had withdrawn from entry vast
tracts Of land located along Western
rivers, peculiarly adapted for furnish
ing hydraulic electric power.
Before the smoke Of the ranger sits
skIrminh cleared away, somebody dis
covered that Secretary Ballinger was
hard At work-and had been since .
week after taking his ofIice-restorInl
to entry millions OF those precious
acres that Roosevelt and Garfield hat
withdrawn only short time before.

CLIFFORD P|NCHOT
\ VIOLATES An ORDER
Startled the Senate by Writing to
Senator DOlIiver
AHURRY CALL FOR THE CABINET
Plnchot upholds Criticisms Of BALM
ger and lntImates That the
President Himself
Was Mistaken.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Gifford Pin
,chot. chief forester, violated an ordei
Of the president when he wrote
letter to Senator Dolliver, virtually up
holding L. R. CLAWS, whom Richard
iBallinger, secretary Of the interior, dis
missed from the service. NJ. Tan
mas ordered that no subordinate IN
any department should disclose infor
ImatIon to congress except through the
head Of the department. Mr.. Pincho'
IiS subordinate to the secretary Of agri
culture.
! After reading the newspaper reports
of the lively tilt in the senate aftel
the reading Of the Pinchot letter, Pres
ident Taft sent hurry call for such
members Of his cabinet as were within
reach. Secretary Knox, Secretary
Macveagh, Attorney General Wicker
sham and Secretary Wilson came. II
was said that Mr. Pinchot's conduct
In sending an official communication
to the chairman Of the senate commit
tee on agriculture was freely discussed
although none Of the cabinet officers
who participated in the conference
would discuss their call to the White
house in any way.
In his letter Mr.. Pinchot not only
upheld the criticisms of Secretary Bal
linger, but suggested that the presl
dent himself had been mistaken in the
facts when he removed Mr.. CLAWS
from the public service.
Mr.. Pinchot said his subordinates
referring to CLAWS and his assistants
possibly had been too free in giving
out information. They had been zeal
Gus in their efforts TO protect the prop
eFty belonging to the government. He
had disciplined them for talking toe
much, but did not think they should be
punished further. He boldly took the
responsibility for what his subordln
ates had done and the very holiness o.
his letter caused stir In the senate.
Senator Hale instantly saw the ef
feet OF his letter upon the public. He
called 1t remarkable communication
and said he hoped his friend from
Iowa, Senator Dolliver, was not tryinS
to have the matter preiudged in the
public mind,
Il am surprised" he said, +" that
subordinate officer In one Of the de
partments should address to a sena
tor Q letter crlticlslng a superior OF
ficer."
II Puts Plnchot on Trial.
Then he said that It was an infrac
tion Of the presidents rule that sub
ordinates in departments must refrain
from discussing public business ex
cept through their superiors. That Pin

liable to punishment, was the natur

INDIAN OFFICIALS

Secretary BalIinger Charges Dis
graceful Condition Exists,
MAS MADE AN INVESTIGATION
John o. Benedict, superintendent o.
Five Civilized Tribes and Three
Assistants Are Relieved
From Duty.

Washington, Jan. 10-RichaM Bal
linger, secretary Of the interior, sus-
pended John D. Benedict, superinten'
dent Of the Five Civilized Tribes Of
Oklahoma, and three supervisors from
Office as the result OF an investigation
which has disclosed "a disgracefnl con
dition" affecting the material and
moral welfare of the schools.
AS a result Of the investigation that
the department has been carrying on
some time. and which will be con.
tinued, other officials Of the Indian
service may suffer like fate. The in.
vestigation that resulted in yester-
days action was entered into because
Of various reports reaching the de-
partment here charging the oficials
already suspended, as well as others.
with activities that were considered
improper for government employees.
The suspended supervisors are Calvin
Ballard Of the Chotaw schools In Nc
Alester; Frederick H. Umbolts of the
Chickasaw schools in Ardmore, and
Walter Falwell of the Creek schools In
Muskogee.
From the report made in the case 1t
appears that Superintendent Benedict
is connected with certain business in
terests In Oklahoma which have more
or less business with the Indians,
which relationship, 1t was believed,
was wholly incompatible with his serv-
ice as superintendent. He had per-
mitted the schools, it was reported, to
fall into a disgraceful condition. and
the supervisors have neglected their
duties in the enforcement Of school
contracts and in matters Affecting the
material and moral conditions sur
rounding the conduct Of the schools.
Mr.. Benedict has been connected
with the Indian service ten years
Muskogee, Ok, Jan. 10.-John D.
Benedict and other accused Indian
officials made a full denial OF the
charges Of Secretary Ballinger, when
interviewed. With their denials they
hint that politics might be held re-
sponsible for the accusations, and that
the methods Of the supervisor, Oscar
H. Lipps, who obtained the evidence,
were nothing less than "sneaky."
