diamond last spring."
For answer the cohorts of No. SO
yelled defiance at their opponents and
scurried out of the fort to gather a
fresh supply of missiles. The leaders
met and it was agreed that ten min.
utes should be given for the making
and storing up of ammunition. Both
sides retired to their ramparts, which
were about fifty yards apart, and each
boy began to make snowballs as fast
as his fingers could work. The sun
was shining brightly and the melting
snow on top made balls of Icy hard
ness. Piles of the missiles were
stacked up behind each fort. and on
signal the battle began.
Led by Marchant and Hanson, the
boys sailed forth, and in a few sec
pnds the air was full of flying bullets
of snow. A large crowd gathered on
the adjoining street to witness the
contest.
Smarting from memories of defeat
on the diamond, the boys of No. 80
made a concerted rush on their op-
ponents and drove them, scattered
and running. behind their fort Of

But Marchant called to them to
rally and save their ammunition for q
charge. Though stung by the shots
they had received, they responded to
bis appeal. Hands and pockets full Of
snowballs, they rushed bravely on the
ramparts of No. SO, waiting until they
got within fifty feet before opening

step

For National Observation

ST. PAUL, Sept. 8.-The COM
mittee on resolutions of the Ma
tional Conservation congress was
in a turmoil, or verging on it, all
day today. Eventually the COM
mittee agreed to recommend a
night session of the convention
and a platform demanding nation
al control of national resources.
The big fight of the committee
meeting concerned the mention Of
the name of Theodore Roosevelt
as the originator of the policies
recommended by the committee,
and ignoring that of Mr. Taft.
We approve continuance of the
control of the national forests by
the federal government, and APP
prove the policy of restoring to
settlement such public lands as
are more valuable for agriculture.
Recognizing the waters of the
country as a great national resource
we approve and indorse the opin-
ion that all the waters belong to
all the people, and hold that they
should be in the interest OF the
people.
We recommend the adequate
maintenance of national conse r
walton commission to investigate
national resources of the country
and cooperate with the work of
the state commissions, and urge
the establishment and maintenance
of conservation commissions or
corresponding agencies on the part
of all of the states of the Union.

RA|uNGER AGAIN
BRANDED UNFIT
GOES TO HOUSE

M1NNEApoLIs, MINI, Sept. 10
Secretary Ballinger was once
more condemned by a report OF
five members of the inyesti eating
committee last night, despite the
fact that the standpat members OF
the committee refused to attend.
The standpatters only hope was
to keep away and rely upon de
cision in their favor that technical
ly there was no quorum
The progressive members OF the
committee, however, will play the
same game henceforth. As the in
surgent FIVE will not attend any
more meetings of the committee
the standpat members will have to
present congress with report also
made at a meeting at which there
was no quorum.
Both the Ballinger and the
anti-Ballinger reports, therefore,
will come before congress from no
quorum committees. This Will
throw the whole case into congress.
Last night the four demo-
cratic members issued report
declaring that Ballinger had
been untrue to his trust, and
that he should be removed
from Office. Representative
Madison, the insurgent repub-
lican from Kansas, made
report of his own to the same
effect.
Senator Sutherland, Of Utah,
and Representatives, Mccall Of
Massachusetts,, and DENLY, Of
Michigan, refused to attend the
meeting Senator Nelson, Of Mime
sofa, the chairman, called the
meeting to order, but to make sure
Of noquorum technicality, Nelson
retired from the meeting before
the vote was taken.
The four standpat members Of
the committee have issued report
rebuking the anti Ballinger quintet.
Chairman Nelson has called 4
meeting to be held in Chicago
Tuesday. The insurgent five will
not attend, and Tuesdays meeting
will also be no quorum affair.
Sutherland, Mccall and DENLY
were in the ante room of the COM
mittee room during the proceed
ings, but refused to go inside.
