There is nothing new in the situa-

which the ore is gotten under way

do not want To get started too soon
or we will have to close down again
after we start
Mr.. Gillie could not give any idea as
to when the mines would open.
THE ore viii be smelted as fast as
IL comes In, though IL will smelt
slower than normal ore. We have no
facilities for thawing by steam at
Great Falls" said Mr.. Gillie.
AT the Great Northern il was said
that about so cars would have 10 be
brought back to Butte to be weighed
as the Great Falls scales We're out Of

today and Gillie had little information
to give concerning operations there

SUMMONS ADVISERS.
AFF AIR IS DISCUSSED
Forester's Direct Slap at the President
by Uphoiding . Man Declared by the
Executive to Be Unfit for Public
Service Causes Resentment-Some
Action Is Not Unexpected Now.

Washington, Jan. 6.-I.ate this after
noon. after reading newspaper reports
of the lively tilt in the senate fol-
lowing the reading of letter ad-
dressed to Senator Dolliver. as chair
man of the senate committee on agri-
culture. by Clifford Pinchot, in which
the chief forester vigorously upheld
subordinates in his office for the aid
they gave Louis X. CLAWS in reports
he made public attacking Secretary
Bailinger. President Taft sent out a
hurry call for such members of his
cabinet as were within reach.
Secretary Knox. Secretary Mac
Veagh. Attorney General Wickersham
and Secretary Wilson soon put in an
appearance. 1t was said that Forester
Pinchot's conduct in sending an Of
fetal communication to the chairman
of a congressional committee was free
ly discussed, although none of the
cabinet officers who participated in
the conference would discuss their call
to the White House. President Taft
some time ago issued an order that no
subordinate in any government depart
ment should disclose any informa tion
to congress, except through the head
of the department. Mr.. Pinchot, in his
letter. virtually upholds CLAWS and
describes him as ..the most vigorous
defender of the peoples interests"
despite the fact that President Taft
had declared CLAWS unfit to remain in
public service.
This direct slap at the president and
the further declaration by Mr.. Pinchot
that the Cunningham coal lands really
were about to go to fraudulent
claimants until CLAWS and the forestry
bureau officials took Il hand in the
fight. thus impugning the intentions of
high officials of the interior depart
ment. are said TO have aroused Mr..
Taft to keen resentment.
The president Is said to have felt
for some time that Mr.. Pinchot has
been "defying the lightning" Some
action as to Mr. Pinchot's course in
the letter incident is not unexpected.
