Two Tables Of Gold.

'Tn the center Of the house opposite the
door were two gold tables, each standing
on four legs, and the table and the legs
were all one; and seven golden phials
stood upon them, two Of which were set
with large pearls, emeralds and turquoises,
and each one had a ruby near the mouth.
There were also six round golden cups,
each OF which was set with large, round.
clear pearls inside. and in the center Of

violated by: several acts Of cruelty COM

his guests. On one occasion, he says,
Justice was inflicted upon q magistrate,
called Dina. who was the greatest officer
had left him in the city as his magistrate
when he departed for six or seven
months, during which time this man had
neglected his duty. so the lord ordered
him to be hanged and confiscated all his
goods.
Another piece Of justice was inflicted
upon great, man who had been left In
charge OF three thousand horses when the
lord departed. Because he could not pro-
duce them all he was hanged. although
he pleaded that he could produce not
only three thousand. but six thousand
horses II the lord would give him time
In this and other ways the lord admin
istered justice. He also ordered Justice to
be executed upon certain butchers who
had sold meat for more than 1t was
worth and upon shoemakers who had
cheated the people by giving them leather
Of a poor quality; and other traders were
fined for selling their goods at a high
price. The custom is, that when a great
man is put to death he is hanged, but
the meaner sort are beheaded."

MINORITY AGAINST BALLINGER
Five of Twelve Members Of Congress.
sionaI Committee Declare Secre-
tary Should Be Bounced.

Minneapolis. Condemnation of
Richard A. Ballinger in the admins
traton of the department of the in
terror, of which he is secretary, and a
declaration that he should no longer
be retained in that office, are con-
tanned in a resolution adopted on
Wednesday by five members of the
congressional committee which has
been investigating the Ballinger-Pin-
chot controversy. These fve-four
Democrats and one Republicans
sert that their vote is binding upon
the committee as whole. This, how
ever, is disputed by the other three
members of the committee who were
present Wednesday.
But five of the twelve members of
the committee voted for the adoption
of the resolution, which was offered
by Representative e. p. Madison of
Kansas, an insurgent Republican. Con-
sequently, the question has arisen as
to what action. if any, the full com
mittee, when it is present, will take
later.
The resolution adopted Wednesday
is believed to be along the line of the
minority report which is being pre-
pared for presentation.
Representative Madison Is prepar-
ing an Independent minority report,
which, it is said will sustain the
course of Clifford Pinchot.
