Messrs. Fude and Sincox, proprie-

voted in favor of local option at the
election of one year ago. In former
years Sherrard, which is just on the
other side of the Rock Island county
line, has been privileged to dispense
liquor over the mahogany. The new
order of things was a hard blow to
some of the veteran villagers who had
been accustomed to their morning and
nightly nips.
Is Given Glad Hand.
Two weeks ago a stranger dropped
into the village. He seemed a likely
chap. He represented himself 10 Be
engaged in buying and selling horse
flesh. He was free with his money,
liked to move around with the boys,
and it was only a few lays until he
was an object of favorable comment
throughout the place. He would sit
around nights and play the pasteboards
with the boys. He was not what might
be called boozer, he said, but he did
occasionally like a little something to
ward off the effects of snake bites. He
had made friends, and they did not
propose to see him go without some
thing that he felt he needed.
Bring Forth Little Brown jug.
In Sherrard it is said you had to be
able to give the sign of the order to
get the keepers of the jug to bring it
out from under cover. But the boys
went to the front for the horse dealer.
He says he was accommodated at both
Fude's and Sincox's. Then he disap-
peared. The warrants followed.
The stranger was nothing more than
an agent of the Illinois Anti-Saloon
league.

Taft Takes No Note OF Consequences.
Washington, Jan. S.-Many callers
at the White house today frankly
preached the subject of Pinchot's dis
missal to the president. The presi-
dent is reported by several visitors as
little concerned over the political re
suits of the affair. TO one he is re-

that, even if such a situation could be

TAFT MAKES A CLEAN
SWEEP OF ACCUSERS
OF SECY. BALLINGER

Washington, Jan. S-Gifford Pin
chot, chief forester, was removed
from office at o'clock last evening
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
on direct orders of President Taft.
Overton Price. associate forester. and
Alexander Shaw, assistant law officer
of the forestry service, were stimuli
taneously ousted.
Thus a clean sweep is made of all
the officials of the forest service who
lent their aid to l.. r. CLAWS in the
formulation of the charges against
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger,
which are on the eve of congressional
investigation. Political Washington
is convinced, however, that this is but
the beginning of a fractional fight in
the republican ranks that will rend
the party asunder.
Roosevelt Looms Up.
The commanding figure of Theo-
dore Roosevelt looms up directly be-
hind Clifford Pinchot The two are
firm and fast friends. Pinchot stands
for the one concrete accomplishment
of the Roosevelt administration
conservation of the national reserves.
Roosevelt brought forward this is
sue and stood Pinchot up as its ex-
ponent under his direction. The Pin
chot methods are the Roosevelt meth
DDS, and it was the refusal of Secre-
tary Baliinger to follow the methods
of the past administration which first
caused the break now known as the
Ballinger- Pinchot controversy.
Cabinet In Session All Day.
This sensational climax of the now
famous Ballinger-Pinchot quarrel
came as the sequel of cabinet meet
ing which continued, with a recess
for luncheon, from II in the morning
till nearly o'clock last night.
Was Not Surprised.
Mr.. Pinchot received last night the
letter of the president and Secretary
Wilson's peremptory note of dismissal,
but nothing about his demeanor indi-
tressed by either. To an accompani-
ment of sounds of merriment floating
down from above stairs, where was a
party of guests, Mr.. Pinchot came down
to meet the reporters. in perfect even
ing dress and with shining silk hat in
hand, smiling and undismayed. Asked
if he would say anything for publica-
ton, he replied:
1T win suit me just as well if you
will make for me just that simple
statement. have nothing to say"
The dismissal of the principal officers
of the forest service will in no way de-
fer or divert the congressional inves-
tigation.

BaIlinEer's Conscience Clear.

Washington, Jan. ST have nothing
to fear from a thorough determination
of the facts" said Secretary Ballinger
today. 81 may have committed errors
of judgment in one way or another,
as any man might while in the public
service, but / am firm in my knowl-
edge that no improper motive has ever
influenced me in any action / have

Port Byron Trustees Adopt In
terurban Franchise After
Veto.
IN TUNE WITH SENTIMENT
Majority of People Are in Favor of
Bringing in Line, Even at Sac
rifice of Compensation.

Notwithstanding the veto of the Tri-
Cities and Northwestern franchise or
d1nance by President Brewster, the
village board of Port Byron has again
| adopted the ordinance as originally
agreed on about month ago. Presi-
dent Brewster a week ago made pup
lie a statement to the effect that he
would veto the ordinance on the
ground that no provision for compen-
sation to the village in return for the
20-year grant was incorporated in the
ordinance. Trustees Savage and
Schaible were the only members of the
board who supported the veto of Presi-
dent Brewster.
Believe People Are With Them.
The trustees who supported the
franchise ordinance feel that in pass
ing the measure over the veto of the
president of the board they are merely
carrying out the wishes of the people,
for IS per cent of the residents along
Main street signed the petition that
came before the board asking the vii
lage to grant the interurban railway
company the use of Main street In
addition to this a petition signed by
practically every farmer who patron
ICES Port Byron merchants made a
similar request
The four trustees who voted for the
passage of the ordinance assert they
have as much reason, from the evil
dence brought before them. TO believe
they carried out the wishes of the
people in passing the ordinance as the
mayor did when he vetoed it.

night, and the general disap-
pointment it brought the fight
followers, is the main topic of pugilistic
discussion here today, ~distracting for
the moment attention from the coming

Bitter comment from the sporting
fraternity and criticism from the news
paper experts has been aroused by the
m~iddle-weight contest, the progress OF
which was ~punctuated with cries OF

Papke has made several statements
TO account for his showing. Il couldn't
get warmed up he said. II wanted to
knock Thomas out, and | had my
money bet that I would beat him inside
of fifteen rounds. What the matter was

JEFFRIEs'S TRAINING CAMP,
R-owardennan, Cal, May 20.-Jim
Jeffries has put the biggest and hard
est part of his training behind him.
Wen satisfied that his wind, physique
and stamina are in satisfactory condi-
ton, the big fighter has now decided
TO take the remaining part of his sea-
son of preparation easily. His greatest
aim (and about the only reason for
concern over his daily work. will be to
develop speed and cleverness. But while
Jeffries is acquiring speed and clever
ness he will watch himself closely and
bead off the slightest tendency to go
stale. With this new phase of train
ing in mind yesterday. he made an
other light day of it, though yesterday
was a complete layoff from routine
work. Nc boxing has been don by
Jeffries since Sunday, and it seems like
ly from present indications that he is
waiting until the arrival of Jim Cor
bett for the beginning of his real earn
est campaign to develop science and
swiftness with the gloves.
In a telegram James j. Corbett in
formed Jeffries yesterday that he would
lSdNt view IoIh AOi tic LidillliAS camp
Saturday and expected to reach Ben
Lomond a week from then. J~effries i'm
mediately replied, expressing his pleas
ure at the prospect of Corbett's coming.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 2o.-Jack
johnson demonstrated beyond doubt
that his wind is in excellent condition.
There has been some doubt on this
point, but it was dispelled when the
champion returned from a fast twelve
miles along Sloat Boulevard without a
sign of distress. Several long and steep
hills were negotiated during the spin,
and the big fellow took them at the
same speed he maintained on the level
ground.
THAT looks as though my wind is
all right. l guess" declared Johnson as
he pulled up at the Seal Rock Hotel.
Il am getting along a bit faster than
I thought and l guess l will take things
easy tho rest of the day"
Suiting the action to the word. john
son, after a rundown, jumped into his
automobile and started for the hills.
