BACKS UP PINCHOT.
Chief Engineer of Reclamation Serv-
ice Testifies Before Committee.

Washington, March 11.-Arthur p.
Davis, chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service. testified before the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigating committee
today that in preparing lists of lands
to be restored to the public domain
by Secretary BaIlinger he felt he was
acting under mandatory orders from
the secretary.
These lands had been withdrawn,
the witness said. by former Secretary
Garfield for conservation of water
power sites. Mr.. Bailinger, according
to Mr.. Davis. repeatedly gave verbal
orders that the lands SO Withdrawn
should be prepared for restoration and
that their withdrawal had been in di
rect violation of law and could not be
sustained. No written orders. how
ever, were ever issued.
Mr. Davis is before the. committee
On summons issued by counsel for
Clifford Pinchot.
The prosecution claims that Presi-
dent Taft,s letter of September 13, last,
generating Mr.. Ballinger from the
CLAWS charges. showed that Mr.. Taft
got the impression from Mr.. -Ballinger
that he made these restorations only
upon recommendations of the reclama-
tion service.
The chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service also declared today that
Mr. Ballinger had directed that the
lists of land TO be restored should be
prepared slowly so as to not attract
public attention.

ARE STORING COAL.
Railroads and Factories Are Preparing
for Strike.

Kansas City, Mo-, March -11.-Much

sumers fear that the miners and mine
owners and; operators of the southwest
may not reach a wage agreement be-
fore April 1, when the present contract
expires, and that strike may result

Railway company has 100000 tons of

other large consumers are storing

tracks at Calvert in Norton county for
the accommodation of the public.
The attorneys for the railroads ar
gued that the attorney for the railroad
commissioners had no authority to file
the suit but that all such suits to COM
pei obedience to the orders of the rail-
road commissioners should be brought
by the attorney general. They also con-
tended shat the mandamus suit was pre-
nlaturely brought, that the state should
have waited until the expiration of the
so days allowed by the railroad board
in which to build the connecting switch
before bringing the suit.
To that the state railroad attorney
answered by calling attention to the
history of railroad legislation and liti-
cation IN this state in the last ten
years. While there had been a vast
amount of legislation and regulation of
railroads in Kansas which had been the
subject of litigation. only very little
oe it had found its way on to the dock
cts and INTO the reports of the supreme
court; but had been disposed of in the
federal courts.
Mr.. Dawson admitted that with him
it had been merely a race to get into
the supreme court before the Burling-
ton could get an injunction from the
federal court and that on a matter of
pubic interest there was no need for
delay in bringing his suit He called
the courts attention to the fact that
yesterday the Burlington had filed suit
in the federal court to enjoin the rail-
road board from enforcing the Calvert
order. Speaking of the case Mr.. Daw-
son said:
This suit in itself is not important
but it will settle an important prin-
cipIe. We will find out if the attorney
for the railroad board is compelled to
sit around and suck his thumb while
the railroads run to the federal court
with every order the railroad commits
sioners make which the railroads don't
like. There is a chronic kick about the
laws delay Well, a decision of the
Kansas supreme court settles con-
troversy in short order. In the federal
court you have to await an appeal to
the higher courts and years elapse be-
tween the decision of the federal trial
court and the final mandate of the
United States supreme court. 1 believe
that the race is to the swift, and it is
only up two flights of stairs to the
chambers of any one of our supreme
justices to get a writ of mandamus,
while our federal judge may be
holding court in Kansas City, Wichita,
Salina or Leavenworth, and if my
theory is correct it will be my fault If
the railroad attorneys get an injunction
from the federal court before get into
the state court. Anyway, I beat the
Burlington to it in this instance"

When DR.. Ayres was summoned to

chinists, learned of the move and
granted the machinists time and half
for extra work. If the machinists go
on strike the move will affect much
of the other parts of the plant. The
strike situation so far as the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company is con-
cerned remains about the same. The
company continues slowly to increase
the number of cars in operation with
the assistance of men recruited in
other cities. There were six collisions
of trolley cars yesterday, in which five
persons were more or less seriously in
jured.
Time to Cool OF.
At Baldwin's works today Superin-
tendent Vauclain said:
"a great many of the men who went
on a little sympathetic strike have al
ready come back We prefer to give
off. We are depending on their good
sense and judgment to act in the right
way.
5000 men have left their work to
strike that estimate is tremend ously
exaggerated. I have before me this

At Cramps shipyard it was reported
that all OF the thousands OF WOrk-
men were at work. This big plant has
been an open shop for years. The
Cramps management said they expect
ed no desertions.
Cramps men will be paid off this
afternoon. The works are picketed by
union sympathizers who hope to per-
suade a number of the workmen
to quit after they get their pay.
VIII Ask Bankers to Squeeze.
Among the plans which it is said
will be presented at the peace meet
ing this afternoon will be an appeal to
the big banks and bankers of the city
to bring about a settlement of the
strike.
1t will be suggested that the bankers
alone have the power to force speedy
adjustment. The executive committee
believes if the bankers consent to act
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany will have no other alternative
than to agree to q program of con-
ciliation, as the company is a large
borrower Of money and would natural

interests.
w. B. Mahon, national president of
the carmen's union, returned here to-
day from Newcastle, Pa, where he at
tended the annual convention of the

Federation of Labor.
Mahon said the state federation will
within a few days issue an appeal to
all labor organizations in the state to
support the Philadelphia strike.

a broader system of transfers and
make it possible to use the new lines
without opposition to the transfer sys-
tenn now in use. The city councilmen
will try to obtain better transfer ser
vice tonight-alT depending upon the
construction of the new lines.
The payment of a certain percentage
of the annual net earnings to the city
is already Incorporated in the old
franchise, but it was hidden under the
law in such manner that it has been
impossible for the city to collect a cent
of it. In Kansas City the city received
over 100000 last year on the same
system-it is thought that it will be
possible for Topeka to receive at least
$4,000 annually.
The old franchise reads: .t-here-
by granted annually pay into the city
treasury of the citv of Topeka ten per
cent of its annual net earnings over
and above ten per cent earned by said
railway company on its investment"
This is plain enough but the city has
been unable to collect and the new sec
tions of the ordinance tonight will be
drawn up in such a manner that it will
be possible to make this collection.
