BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
HOUSE SUPPORTS CONFEREES
ON BALLINGER INQUIRY.
Senator Nelson Introduces Ten
Bills Relating to Administra-
tons Conservation Policy.

BY unanimous vote the House of Rep
resentatives today adopted the conference
report ON the joint resolution providing
for an investigation into the Ballinger
Pinchot controversy. The report was
called up by Representative Dalzell soon
after the reading of the journal was
finished, and while Speaker Cannon was
in the chair.
The bills relating to the public land and
conservation policies Of President Taft
and Secretary Ballinger were introduced
today by Senator Nelson, chairman OF
the committee on public lands.
The measures are not the same as those
which Representative Mondell OF Wyom-
ing, chairman of the House committee on
public lands. declined to champion, but
they relate to the same subjects. They
are notifications of certain provisions
of the former bills. and it is said that
many Of the objections raised against
the others have been eliminated. It is
at the Capitol that Secretary
Ballinger will withdraw the bills sent
to Mr.. Mondell and will substitute those
presented through Senator Nelson.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The announcement of the suspension
of the stock brokerage business OF
Griffin, Halstead & Co. had no influence
on the local market for the reason
that it is understood it grew out of
the business done in the New York
market and was caused by the de-
mand made from that city for en-
larged margins due to the fluctuation in
the general stock market.
There has been no statement made
thus far. as to the total liabilities
but the firms obligations to the local
banks were all fully secured, SO it is
stated, SO that the losses will fall upon
the individual customers and the New
York correspondents.
AS has been usual for some days
past, good deal of attention was
paid to the bond list at the meeting
of the stock exchange.
The volume of trading was not large.
The leaders were the consolidated )
per cent bonds OF the Potomac Power
Company and the 4 per cent bonds
of the Washington Gas Light Company.
The supply of the former appeared to
be quite plentiful al the current rate,
which is 102. Six bonds were sold at
that figure and that was the asking
price for more with the bid fractionally
less.
The per cent bonds Of the gas COM
pany sold at Ito, which is about the
current level, but the asking price ad-
vanced half point.
The stock of the gas company appeared
to be in better demand. Fifty shares
sold at 1864 and ten at 76la, while an
option on pa shares was taken at 77A.
One hundred shares were offered at 20,
and a similar lot at 1871, but there were
no takers.
The balance of what appeared to be
large holding of the stock of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company
sold for 30 today, and one ten-share lot
went for 221. At the close the bid for
the stock was 221a. and the asking
price. go. As the result OF the recent
selling the stock has dropped about 10
points.
There was but slight allusion to the in
terest created yesterday in the fire in
surance list by the bids made for the
controlling interest in three of the COM
panies. In the case of the Arlington
Company bid of 10 was made today.
but there was no response, and it was
withdrawn, and 30 was substituted with
80 as the asking price.
One hundred shares Of the Commercial
Fire Insurance Company sold at 51s. The
bid for Firemen's fell off to -, with -
as the asking price.

NOT WITHIN THE LAW
Speaker Cannon Rules Against
Former President Roosevelt.
NO SPECIFIC AUTHORITY
Sustains Point of Order, Which
Challenges Legality Of Maritime
Conference Appointments.

Speaker Cannon today officially ruled
that President Roosevelt had acted with
out specific authority of law in appoint
ing representatives to the third inter-
national conference on maritime war at
Brussels. by sustaining a point of order
made by Representative Harrison OF
New York against an appropriation for
the continuance of the service of these
representatives.
Accordingly the paragraph making
such an appropriation was stricken out
when consideration Of the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill was resumed
in the House.

Renews the Attack.

When Representative Fitzgerald called
attention to a letter from the Secretary
Of the Treasury requesting that govern
ment employees appointed temporarily and
by executive order he placed on the per-
manent roll under the civil service Law,
Mr.. Harrison OF New York again attacked
former President Roosevelt, declaring he
had violated the spirit of the civil service
law 100 times. or fifteen more times than
any OF his predecessors.
Il will refer the gentleman to the civil
service commission responded Repre-
sentative Tawney, in charge of the bill,
when called upon to explain how such
violation could take place.
'Is not the President authorized by law
to make exceptions to the civil service
law? II that is so how can you say Presi-
dent Roosevelt violated the law?" inquired
Mr. TaWney.

Republicans Split Over Demo-
cratic Selections.
INSURGENTS ARE DIVIDED
Whether Messrs. James and Rainey
Are to Be Chosen for Ballinger-
Pinchot Inquiry Promises Fuss.

| A caucus of the House republicans
will be held tomorrow night to select
| the House members of the joint COM
| mittee that is to investigate the Bal.
| linger- Pinchot affair.
| Agreement will be reached then with
reference to the membership of the
| committee. 1t is impossible to say at
this time how serious the row will be
before the choice is made
Just at present there is a row within
| row. The insurgents are all split
UP over the question of whether the
caucus shall select the entire six mem
bers of the House end Of the inquiry
or whether it shall name four members
and accept the nomination Of Represen-
tatives James of Kentucky and Rainey
of Illinois. made by the democratic
caucus last Saturday evening.
A perusal of the call for the republican
caucus sent out this morning by Repre-
sentative John Dwight of New York, re-
publican whip of the House. would con-
vey the impression that the caucus will
select all six members. No mention is
made of four. or six, or any other num-
Der. The call merely reads "the House
members"
Other Insurgent Views.
Representative Hays or California,
Representative Douglas of Ohio and
about half the remaining insurgents
want the caucus to ignore the selection
of Messrs. James and Rainey by the
democratic caucus and to select two
other democrats less Objectionable to the
republican strength.
Representative Rainey is the Illinois
democrat who charged President Taft
and his brother. Charles P Taft, with
all sorts of high crimes and misdemeanors
In connection with the purchase of the
Panama canal strip. Mr. James is also
a noted partisan.
Consequently the minority could not
have selected any other two men as
thoroughly Objectionable to the majority
as these.
But the remaining half of the insur-
gents beIeve the democrats should be per-
United to have on the committee these
two men chosen by their regular caucus.
They will resent any effort on the part of
the republicans to substitute two other
democrats
Would Decline to Serve.
incidentally. any two democrats substi.
tuted, while they might not be excused,
| could not possibly be compelled to serve
And there is no doubt in the world but
that democrats chosen by the republicans
| to replace James and Rainey would take
| just this position and decline to have any
thing to do with the inquiry.
| or course. the democrats are tickIed to
death They would like to see James and
Rainey thrown Off the committee.
They are confident they could make
| more political capital out of this. as be-
ing absolutely sure proof of a prearranged
embarrassing for Secretary Ballinger
than they possibly could through the par
tisan activities of the two men they have
selected, if they were permitted to stay
on the committee.
