"N0 QUORUM" AGAIN
Friends of BaIlinser 4Absent Them
selves From Meeting of Consression-
al Committee Sutherland, Mccall
and DENLY, Republicans, Refuse to
Attend Sessions.

Minneapolis, Sept. 9.-But six mem
bers of the Ballinger-Pinc investi-
eating committee, one less than a quor-
UNI, were present when the session
opened today. Sutherland, of Utah;
Mccall, of Massachusetts, and DENLY,
of Michigan, republicans, refused to
attend the meeting.
Soon after entering the committee
room the democratic members affixed
their signatures to the findings which
condemn Ballinger as public officer
and vindicate Pinchot. Madison pre-
pared an Independent report which fav-
ors Pinchot and brought it to the COM
mittee room. Secretary Sleman was
delegated as sergeant at arms, and
twice requested the attendance of the
absentees, but they refused to pay any
attention to the summons. Chairman
Nelson suggested that adjournment be
taken until Monday, to meet in Chica-
go, but no action was taken on the pro-
position. Nelson soon after left the
room.
Meeting Called For Monday.
Later Chairman Nelson sent a notice
calling a meeting of the committee IN
Chicago, Sept. 13. The members in ses-
sion contend that Nelson has absolute
ly no authority to issue such notice.
Whitewashers In Hole.
The men who lost out in Wednes-
DAYS meeting have said that they could
not discuss this matter further than 1t
has been discussed. 1t was pointed out
by man who is in close touch with
the situation, however, that the Bal
linger faction can hardly afford to
make a report today.
Cant you see what that would
bring, if they vindicated Ballinger and
approved the dismissal of Pinchot? ?"
asked this man. with the terrific
ovations Pinchot has been getting in
this congress, and the way the senti-
ment of this congress has gone, all in
support of his policy of national con-
troll, his endorsement by Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator Beveridge. any
attack upon him by this committee will
make him a national martyr"

ferred upon him by law to appear be-

commission issue an order reducing all

now charged are unreasonable. unjust

The five companies doing business
in Iowa are made defendants, and he
sets forth at length their own reports
as to their capitalization, business and
earnings in Iowa and elsewhere He
states also that in the order of the

business is 900 per cent of the capital
used in Iowa, and If to this is added
the Iowa proportion Of interstate busi

He also shows that the rates just put
into effect in Illinois are far below the

He asks an immediate hearing and full

Congress Concludes Business at ST.
Daul

St Paul, Minn.. Sept. 9.-The ma
tional conservation congress last night
adopted a platform demanding national
control of the country's natural re-
sources This followed a lively fight in
the committee on the mention of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as originator of the
policies mentioned and the ignoring OF
President Taft.
Following the defeat of the motion to
credit President Taft with a share In
the conservation policies a new attack
was made in committee to eliminate
what was said to be an injustice to the
president. After three ballots motion
to eliminate the name of Mr.. Roose-
welt also carried. Thru an inadvertence
the copy of the resolutions given to the
newspapers retained the name Of Mr..
Roosevelt, and it was not until after
