cial from Washington says:
As a solution Of the Ballinger-Pin.
chot controversy, to relieve President
Taft Of embarrassment and to preclude
the possibility of the controversy be-
coming a campaign issue fraught with
danger to the Republican party, it has
been suggested that Secretary Ballin.
ger should at once tender his resigna.
ton as a member of the cabinet.
This suggestion emanates from
members of congress who r deeply
interested in the election Of q Repub-
lican majority in the next house. They
have opposed a congressional investi-
cation of the Ballinger-Pinchot affair
and have resented congress "being
forced to settle an imbroglio in the
presidents immediate official family"
They say that the Republican mem
bers of congress-, who must assume
the responsibility from the verdict,
whatever it may be, following the in.
quiry, are being placed in a position
where they will be damned if they do
and damned if they don't"
They protest that this responsibility
is at once an unnecessary and an un-
just load to impose upon the Repub-
licans, who at best will have a rough
road to travel and a steep hill to climb
to gain reelection next November.
Graceful Method Suggested.
That Secretary Ballinger has con-
sidered and is considering rendering
his resignation to the president is
known. That he will do so before the
investigation is started may not be
stated so positively. However, 1t is
freely asserted that the secretary will
retire when he has been ~vindicated
by the congressional committee.
To the arguments that Secretary
Ballinger cannot retire under fire Re-
publicans who favor it say that it all
depends on the manner by which he
retires. They say that all that is nee
essary for the secretary to do in order
to place himself before the public in
a decidedly favorable light is for him
to state in his letter of resignation
that he is willing to sacrifice himself
for the good Of the party and to spare
the president any possible embarrass-
ment, but that, conscious Of his own
he insists that after his
resignation has been accepted the con-
gressional committee shall make a.
thorough investigation of the charges
against him in order that in the end
he may be set right before the coun-
try.
No secret has been made of the fact
that the staunchest friends that the
administration has on Capitol hill
were extremely reluctant to have an
investigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy forced on congress and 1T
may be. stated with emphasis that
Ballinger's resignation
be welcomed as a happy solu-
ton of an altogether embarrassing
situation.

CLOSE CALL BAD FIRE
Blaze Breaks Out in Second Floor of
East Main Street Block and is Dis
covered in Nick OF Tim-Departmet
Does Fine Work and Damage is Con-
fined to Two Rooms.

Fire at 7:40 Thursday night was dis
covered in a room over the Zug build
ing al ia East Main street. the ground
floor Of which IS occupied by Horne s;
Gelvin. The discovery was very time
y, and The good work Of the fire de-
partrlent not only resulted in promptly
extin gushing the fire. but keeping the
damage confined 10 the room where II
originated and one adjoining. The
rooms were leased by Robertson s.
SIrub.
The room where the fire origi-
mated was occupied by Lawrence
Shugart, young canning factory
employee shugart discovered the
blaze when he happened TO go
10 his room and find the flames
shooting ceilingward from the north
west corner. where his dresser stood.
An alarm was turned in promptly, and
in q few moments the entire depart
ment was at work.
What caused the fire neither Mr..
Shugart nor AP .Strub was able TO say.
Shuga-t says that there was a box of
matches in his dresser. and that is the
only source he knows of where the fire
could have originated.
The damage done was very small.
considering the possibilities for loss.
The chemical apparatus was used in
extin gushing the blaze. thus saving 8
heavy loss from water in the store
rooms below. The interior of the rooms
were badly charred and the contents
destroyed. Mr.. Strub estima ties his
companys loss at 500. and the damage
TO the building will probably not ex
coed 5000 Shugart's loss in personal
effects will be about s25. and in addi
ton the young man claims 10 have lost
SIS IN paper money which he had in his
bureau. The loss on the building,
which IS part Of the Seth Zug estate,
is fully covered by insurance. Robert
son & Strub carried no insurance on
the contents of the east half OF their
leased rooms.
In appreciation Of the efficient work
done by the fire department Robertson
& Strlb dispatched by messenger to the
fire stations two boxes Of cigars for
the men.
