Washington, January 5.-Speculation is tees to be named to make the investiga- tion of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. Many names have been considered, but no decision has been reached. "The coun- try demands this investigation" said Mir. Humphrey, in presenting his resolution in the House. Let us have light As I have known Secretary Ballinger for many years. so have known Mir.

The condition has become intolerable; if the facts demonstrate that either or both have been guilty of any act deserving 1t, let them be promptly removed from pub lie office.

OUTLOOK GOOD IN IRON BUSINESS Past Years Record Has Justified
 All Expectations FEW CANCELLATIONS MADE While Warning Note Has Been Sound ed of Danger of Over Production
 There Is Conservatism In
 Placing Orders.

Cleveland, January 5.-(Special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow win say: The year 1907 ended in gloom. When the last day of 1908 passed there was a feeling of relief. Because the 12 months had been full of suspense, but there was a distinctly confident expec- tation that 1909 would record much more satisfactory business conditions than the two previous years This ex- pectation has been fully justified, and although note of warning of the dan ger of over production has been oc- casionally sounded, the country has shown its wonderful ability to consume the immense production of blast fur naces and mills.
 Keen interest has been felt in the trade as to how the blast furnace oper- ators would meet the announcement of the advance of 50 cents on non-B Bes- semer ores. It soon developed that while some consummers were dis posed to complain, others were not. and nearly all, with the exception of those in the east, were ready to place their orders. Hence buying has been very heavy during the past few days and several million tons have been contracted for. Some independent in- terests have not announced tn cir posi- tion in regard to the ore situation, but it is believed that they will conform to the recently announced prices. Spe- cifying against contracts expiring with the year was very heavy and cancella- tions made on account of failure to specify were few.
 New business is not very heavy and contracting is being done in very conservative way, conditions varying according to material the character of the order, and desirability of the busf- ness.
 Rail sales of the week amounted to about 25,000 tons, of which 10000 tons were open hearth for the Burlington. Negotiations involving considerable tonnage of rails are pending in the Pittsburg district. Severe weather con- ditions have interfered to a consider able extent with operations at many plants during the past weeK.
 Tonnage of sheets and tin plate en- tered for cooling last month was ex- tremely heavy, not having been equaled since the final month of 1908.

BAG OF KITTENS
 LEFT DOWN TOWN
CRIES ATTRACT ATTENTION AND LARGE CROWD OF MEN DRAWS LOTS TO SEE WHO SHALL TAKE CHARGE OF THEM.

bag of kittens was left last night on the step of the Western Union Tele- graph company.
 There were six of the kittens. and the eyes of no one of them had ever opened to the light Of day.
 They were wee and sleek. and tn e night air was biting. Their cries at- tracted the attention of half hundred passersby. At first no one seemed to know what animal was emitting such plaintive notes, and secondly, the wherea bouts was a mystery.
 Indignation was expressed when the truth became known, Tor the kittens were in an awful plight. and the night, with it's cold. drizzling rain. was not well adapted for the exposure of the very young.
 No one of the number of men who gathered around the scene was willing to leave the little kittens to die of starvation. and yet no one knew ex- actly what should be done. So lots were drawn. and young g man of Vivian was chosen to perform the duty of rescue. He gathered the bag with the kittens under his arm and disa ppeared. In consequence, the little fellows are out of their misery. although their eyes will never behold the light of day.
 It is now up to L. A. Bennie. humane officer. The hour was 12. the place was the front of the Western Union building, there were six of the cats, | and each was helpless. The individ- ual who committed the deed is un- known, but he has broken the laws Of Birmingham and of the state.

THE GREEN FlEND.
Absinth Was Originally a Harmless
Medical Remedy.


Abslnth. the green hend that satu-

remedy.
IL was n French physician who first
used Il. His name was Ordinaire. and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet,
In Switzerland. at the close OF the
eighteenth century. Like many othei
country doctors at that time. he wa
also a druggist. and his favorite rene.
dy was a certain elixir OF absinth OF
which he alone had the secret.
AT his death he beQueathed the for.

Finally. during the FIRST decade Of

soon aftcrward he placed on the mar

greatly from the old medical remedy
since the latter contained no alcohol
and very little absinth.
