st. Paul, Aug. 2.-In an interview
which he gave out last night at Mir
neapolis, Richard A Ballinger secre~
tary of the interior, bitterly arraigned
his enemies as "demagogues" and
charged that not only are they SEEK
ing to make a scapegoat Of him, but
they are also trying 20 foment trouble
between President Taft ana Theodore
Roosevelt. After referring to the fact
that at Seattle, his old home, every
one is his friend, and that he went
to Washington as secretary only after
being long sought after, he said:
"Pinchot, Garfield and that bunch
have been after me. trying to make
a scapegoat of me. The president and
have done all we could to make this
administration a success. The presi-
dent is heartily in favor OF a radical
conservation and so am l. There are
q lot of demagogues vho would like
t. see a breach formed between Theo-
dore Roosevelt and President Taft. II
| is 'pust the way of things But PreSi-
dent Taft has been wise. He has
taken broad and liberal stand for
constructive and upbuilding policies"
/
| linger's resignation is believed to ex-
plain the accidental" meeting Of
Crane and Ballinger at Minneapolis
yesterday. Secretary Norton refused
| to confirm or deny the report Pres
| ident Taft played golf this morning
and was visited by General Wood
I and Congressman Olcott this after
noon.
| Crane recently visited Taft and his
/ visit was mysterious. That pressure
| is being brought to bear on the pres
| ident to give him a hint that Bal
linger should retire is the general inn
preston. 1t is reported that Crane
told Ballinger he must resign shortly
| after the report of the investigating
| committee at Minneapolis on Septem-
Der IL. He said Ballinger expects to
return to Seattle TO practice law.

Kansas City, Aug. 2.-Negotiations
between miners and coal operators
o. the southwestern territory which
have dragged along over a period of
exactly four months were brought to
an end and a general strike order
will be issued, according to George
Manuel, secretary of the Missouri dis
trict and 10000 or more miners who
have not worked since the expiration
of the old contract April l will be
formally on strike. The conclusion of
negotiations came after the miners
had been in session the greater part
OF the day and had waited for the op-
orators to agree to their proposition
to hold Joint session at which a wage
scale based upon what is known as
the Cincinnati demand could be dis
cussed. Conference committees had
been proposed by the miners to meet
such conference committees as the
| operators chose to appoint. But the
| operators held that by agreement
neither the operators nor the miners
could demand a joint meeting, and
| would make no concessions to this re-
quest of the miners. OF the number of
miners affected by the strike order
about $500 are in Kansas, about s.
! 500 in Missouri, 5000 in Oklahoma
! and about 5000 in Arkansas. Some
5000 miners in Texas though in an
other district, will be indirectly affect
ed by the strike order, and this, too
will have an indirect bearing upor
the miners in Colorado and other
western states. At present there are
a number of independent miners in
this territory, that from the beginning
have paid the wage scale asked and
az these mines there will be no ces-
sation of work. They employ about
$500 men. Employees of these "in-
dependent" concerns will not be asked
to discontinue work.
Still, even a blind asylum may be q
slightly place.

PACKAGE OF VALUABLE
GERMS Is STOLEN

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 2.-Thirteen
vials containing tuberculosis and diph-
iberia germs addressed to DR.. Sarah
\. Greenfield, bacteriologist of the
state board of health, sappeared in
the mails last Friday and a search
for them resulted in finding the vials
open and empty, in an alley in the
west part of the city, yesterday. The
package containing the vials was
taken out by the postman but was
lost or stolen before he delivered it.,
The state board of health decline to
tell exactly where the vials We're found
fearing to rouse the neighborhood.
There We're enough germs in the
vials to depopulate the state but the
board of health thinks there will be
no serious results, as the broken vials
were found where direct rays of the
run shone on them.

Topeka, Aug. 2.-Replying to pub
lished statement by senator Cummins
as a member Of the senate committee
on interstate commerce advocating
government supervision over railroads
President Ripley of the Santa Fe
says in an open letter TO the Emperial
Gazette, since it is a notorious fact
that neither national, state or mu-
nicipal governments have ever tram
sacted business economically there is
no reason to expect anything but fail
are from governmental supervision of
railroads. Witness TO that the colossal
incompetency of the post office de-
pertinent which is annually piling up
. deficit of millions and whose only
efficiency is derived from the rail-
roads it underpays and browbeats,
Witness also the annual river and har-
bors fraud perpetrated on the tax
payers"

Quebec. Aug. 2.-The police are
showering Mime Leneve with kindness
in trying to persuade her to talk She
is treated as a guest at the home Of
Chief Mccarthy She has her own
room, and is under but little surveil-
lance. She has received cablegrams
from her parents urging her to tell
all. Crippen is in the dungeon of the
parliament house and visitors are not
permitted.
The belief is general that Nine Le-
neve will be the chief witness against
DR.. Crippen in the inquest at London.
Detectives hope she will testify Tor
the crown both at the inquest and the
trial. which will shortly follow Grip
pens return.
Many persons believe the police are
SO markedly lenient with the girl, not
only because they pity her plight but
also because they believe she is Grip
pens dupe and that she may turn
against him on the witness stand. This
is the course her relatives in London
are urging her to take as several ca

resident of Milwaukee and st. Paul,
MINI. Mr.. Will-Rich said today that
while he stood ready to give Crippen
all consistent assistance, he had no
application to do so and expected
none. In fact. he added, he saw no
way in which he could better the sit
uation of the prisoner in any way.
Inspector Dew is resting here after
his labors, an object of curiosity to
residents and to the tourists that
throng this queer old French city at
this time of year and the envy and
admiration of the local police.

London dispatch says Miss Le'
neve's relatives have retained counse
here to defend her, but on this point
the police have received no Official
information.
Crippen seemed utterly discouraged
but SO far as can De ledlISu, IlS has
let nothing slip that can be used
against him when he comes to trial.
The police pin their hopes upor
Miss Leneve, but following the wishes
OF Inspector Dew, they declare they
are making no effort to obtain confes
sions and are not sbjecting either
prisoner to anything approaching thu
"third degree" such efforts would
be contrary to British police meth
ods.

Member of English Parliament

LONDON. Dec. 10.-A Liberal gain of
three seats from the Unionists on the

twenty-one seats from the other.
The Liberal gain in the Cockermouth
division of Cumberland where Sir Will

expected. However. the Unionists had
o contemplated such an early loss of
the Saffron Walden division of Essex
and the Lowestoft division of Suffolk,
from which constituencies they had
turned out the Liberals in the proceed
ing elections.
Premier Asquith comes back to the
House of Commons from the east di-

MAN CONFEsSES
CRIME TO ESCAPE
POLICE TORTURE
Court Sets Aside Conviction on
Ground That "Tliird Degree
Is Unlawful.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 10.-The
State Supreme Court set yesterday
aside for the conviction in the King
County Superior Court of Peter Miller,
"a highly-educated man who was tried
for burglary a year ago, whose sensa-
tional allegations of police butality
started the agitation against the police
department which has neved subsidized.
Miller, who conducted his own de-
tense, refused to give his true name,
but denied that he had a criminal
record. His conviction was obtained,
he alleged by the use of confessions
by himself and an alleged accomplish,
made to escape torture. The court sus-
tains the allegations of Miller that jail
officers, police, detectives and prose-
cutting attorneys by abuse and threats
had invaded his rights.
Neither ~jailers, the police nor de-
tectives are clothed in this country
