DEMAND FOR PAPERS
At the Interior Department
Made by BaIIinger-Pin-
chot Committee.
CAUSED HOT CONTROVERSY

Washington, April 8.-The Ballin-
investigating committee
today adopted q motion calling on
Secretary Ballinger to supply, imme-
diately all the papers and documents
the committee might call for. This
was done after a heated controversy
between the committee and lawyers
over q letter which Ballinger sent to
the committee, protesting against
producing further papers and charac-
terizing demands for the documents
as mere fishing process of the com
mittee for Information"
This action on the part of the COM
mitec Is construed as mild rebuke to
Ballinger for his letter of protest
against supplying any further papers
and quasi-indorsement Of the demand
of Attorney Brandeis.
Andrew Christensen, who succeeded
L. r. CLAWS as chief of the field d.
vision in Seattle. was the first witness
this morning. His headquarters are
now in Portland, Oregon. Christen-
sen described the transfer of the pa
pers in the CLAWS office to him. CLAW
is, he said, retained in his possession
certain letters over Suday and took
the INTO his hotel. The witness said
he made q formal demand for the doc
uments and threatened that unless
they were returned. he would take the
matter up with the district attorney
for prosecution. CLAWS brought back
some of the papers the next day and
later 1t was found that twenty-three or
twenty-four letters were missing.
The witness said when he asked
CLAWS about the missing letters which
had come down from Juneau, CLAWS
had told him they must be somewhere
in the office as he did not have them.
The witness said he accepted this ex-
PLANTATION. These letters are not an
important part of the case, but it is
contended by Mr.. Vertrees that they
were withheld by CLAWS for the pur-
poses of embarrassing the land office.
and that when he asked the committee
to require Ballinger to produce them
he knew Ballinger could not do SO for
the reason that they were in his (Glav-
is's) possession, until they we're found
among his private effects In q box in
the federal building in Seattle.

Immigrants That Tend to Con-
gest the Cities Are Not
Ones Wanted,
REVERSE IS TRUE HERE
DOMINION ALLOWS OFFICIALS
LIBERTY IN THE ADMISSION OR
REJECTION OF FOREIGNERS
WHO ARRIVE.

Washington, April 8.-Canada wants
whose purpose is to enter
agricultural pursuits, either as land
owners, tenants or laborers and de-
sires to exclude those immigrants
whose presence would tend to the con-
gestion of towns and cities. This
probably is the most important state
ment made in report submitted to
congress today by Senator Dillingham;.
chairman of the Joint immigration
Commission, in regard to the immigra.
tion situation in Canada
Another striking feature of the re-
port is the comparison of immigration
into Canada during the past decade
with that into the United States. This
shows that, while 20 per cent of Cana
da's immigrants during the period
came from northern and western Eu-
rope and only 80 per cent from south
ern and eastern Europe, the reverse
was true in regard to the immigrants
entering the United States. The re-
port says that mo effort is made to Sc
cure immigrants from southern and
western Europe, and unless it is the
purpose of such immigrants to enter
agricultural pursuits their admission to
Canada is doubtful"
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that effort is made, through salaried
agents of the Canadian immigration
Department. aided by sub-agents to
whom bonus or commission is paid,
and by means of advertising. to secure
immigrants from the United Kingdom,
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway.
Sweden, Switzerland and the United
States
Canada Draws from United States.
OF the total number of immigrants
going from the United States to Cana
da during the past three years, more
than seven-eights were classed as far
mers or farm laborers. Probably no
other considerable movement of pop
ulation from one country to another,
says the report. at the present time
is SO largely composed of agricultural
people.
From 1900 to 1909 in Western Can
ada, 235. $50 homesteads were entered
for, more than 66 per cent. of the en-
tries being by immigrants, divided as
follows:
English, 2O.32 per cent: Scotch, $40
per cent: Irish. 1.se per cent; Cont
mental Europeans. 27.67 per cent, and
Americans, 44.91 per cent
Canada gives great liberty to her ad-
ministrative authorities in the matter
OF reflections or admissions, and allows
her officials substantial freedom In the
matter Of deportation. All persons
who become public charges within two
years after landing may be deported
No one is debarred from Canada be
cause OF previous arrangements made
for securing employment The Do
minion maintains free information Oh
employment bureaus in the principal
centers, both for the benefit Of en-
ployers Of labor and OF immigrants
seeking employment.
In dealing with Oriental immigra
ton. Canada. has adopted 6 policy
which practically excludes Asiatic la
bor.

.HOLO-UP DARING ONE
Two Masked Bandits in Wis
consin OverpoWer Con-
ductor and Escape.
$4,000 THEFT IS DENIED
fAmerican News service)


Minneapolis, April S.-The Pioneer
Limited on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road, which left Chicago
at six o'clock, Thursday evening, was
held up by two masked robbers a few
miles east Of Tomah, Wis.,, at two
O'Clock this morning. Rumors that
they secured eighteen thousand dollars
in money and jewelry are emphatically
denied by the railroad officials and
trainmen. The bandits boarded the
train at New Lisbon, when the con-
ductor left the vestibule of the sleeper
open, and secreted themselves. When
encountered, desperate hand to hand
fight ensued but no shots were ex-
changed. Finally overpowering the
conductor and covering him with a re-
volver, the robbers cut off air connec-
tions and escaped in the darkness when
the train slowed down.

Bluffton, Ind, April S-A conference
of the Nj. e. church Is the last place
where pickpockets would be expected
to hang out, but nevertheless. the Rev.
John Meeks, of Muncie, is loser one
hundred dollars and some valuable pa
pers as result of the manipulations of
one of the smooth hand artists yester-
day. He went to the dedication of the
day afternoon making the trip from
here on a traction car. It was while
in the jam on the car that the money
was taken.
The session of the conference this
morning was the first one. which has
been attended by a large crowd. A
number of ministers who had not ar
rived, got here today and the fact that
the reports Of the different district su-
perintendents were to be delivered to-
day, created considerable interest. The
Rev. Guild of the Richmond District,
delivered the first report, which show
ed an increase in both membership and
amount of money paid in for charity.
Bishop Cranston remains quiet re-
garding the assignment of ministers,
and NO one is able to get line on how
the appointments will be made. Even
the newspaper correspondents are be-
ginning to fear that they will not get
an advance copy. The assignments
will be made public Monday.

ing a small growing organization,

NE TROUBLES ARE MANY.

washington, April &.-PreSident
Taft's troubles are increasing. Added
to all the cares Of routine work and his
fight for the administration pet bills,
there are reports of friction in the cab
met. these even going so far as to say
that the resignation Of three cabinet
officers is expected within short
time.
No official cognizance has been ta-
ken of the persistent rumors that the
cabinet may lose Secretary Knox,
Secretary OF the Treasury Macveagh
and General Hitchcock.
There II no excess Of harmony be-
tween Secretaries Knox and Mac
Veagh. Secretary Hitchcock, who
took Q prominent part in he cam
paign which brought Mr.. Taft to the
White House, has been selected to di.
rect the interests Of the Republican
party In the approaching congressional
fight.
Will Hitchcock Leave.
n possible. he will retain his title OF
postmaster-general,b but the belief here
IL that he will be forced to throw aside
all pretence of official work, in spite
OF MIS- desire to make record In the
postoffice department, and devote him.
self entirely to politics.
The threatened break OF the other
two cabinet aids is of an entirely DIFF
ferent nature, however.
Besides being not entirely In harmo-
ny with the rest of the cabinet, Secre-
tary lGacveagh has been the object of
powerful pressure. It Is known that
many OF the republican leaders, espec-
tally Of the conservatives and others
close to President Taft, have been
working for the ousting Of the secreta-
ry, whom they accuse Of lack of due
respect to the G. o. p. Mr.. Mac
Veagh's status as q democrat has
been used literally by those interests
In the fight against him.
Any move, however, toward his res
ignation is expected to come quite vol.
untary, not to say with pleasure on his
part. He has been In Ill health for
some time and this friction with tha
state department. especially over tariff
negotiations, has not made the situa-
tion more agreeable for him.
The particular rub came with the
negotiations over the new tariff with
Canada. The undertaking of the ne
gotiations with the dominion by the
tariff board incensed state department
officials who believed that treating
with foreign governments was their
especial province.

Governor Subbs Of Kansas, a native

the Commercial club banquet, which is
to be held next month, yesterday wired
E. NJ. Haas, secretary of the club, ask
ing II the rules OF the club put any re-
strictions or qualifications on speeches
delivered before that body
Secretary Haas Immediately wired
the governor that he would be at liber-
ty to deliver any kind Of an address.
The officials of the club are of the
opinion, judging from Governor
Stubbs' inquiry, that he contemplates
one OF his characteristic ad-
dresses. in which he hits straight from
the shoulder at any public question
which he has in mind.
A Temperance Advocate.
Governor Stubbs is an enthusiastic
temperance advocate and he is also
the sworn enemy OF corporations which
don't behave themselves, and he has
made Kansas a very hot place for such
class OF corporations to exist in.
No doubt the governor will, in his
address, have something to say about
his corporation warfare, and he may
touch on the temperance question.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Chicago's spacious

City Forester Prost has appealed to

Out o!i tn eCountry With

Quebec. Aug. 5.--The continued alb
sence from Quebec of Inspector Dew
added another minor element of mys-
terry to the Crippen case today. 1t is
thought that his wish to escape the
unwelcome attention was not suffici-
ent to account for his trip to Montreal
and his further journey to Toronto
and Niagara Falls last night. 1t is
strongly suspected that his mission Is
to arrange so that he may get his
prisoners out of the country with less
publicity than attended their arrival.
There is also interest today in the
seeming understanding between DR..
Crippen and Miss Leneve made dur
ing their fight as to what they should
say or not say in the event of their
arrest. According to their custodians
neither has been led into saying a
single word about the. other.

DISASTROUS YEAR
FOR FOREST FIRES
Most Destructive Have Been in

Washington. Aug. 5.-The current
year threatens to be one of the most
disastrous to the national forests
from fires in the history of the coun-
try because of the drought conditions
in the west. Officials Of the forest
service are perturbed over the situa-
ton and have decided to adopt ener-
getic measures.

west on q tour of inspection. has ex-
pressed Willingness. according to

The danger is especially acute in
western Montana and northern Idaho.
District Forester Greeley at Missoula,
in a report, says forty large fires in

been brought under control. but that
ten to fifteen are still burning. The
conditions this year do not arise
