LITTLE PROGRESS MADE IN
BALLINGER-PINCHO CASE
Counsel for Ballinger Argues With
Louis II. CLAWS on Stand-Hear-
ing Continued.

Washington d. c., Feb. Little
Roadway was made wednesday in the
cross examination of Louis r. CLAWS by
attorney Vertrees in the Ballinger-
Pinchot Investigation, the committee be-
ing in session three hours, adjourning
until Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
Ballinger's attorney argued with the
witness and during one of these dis
putes warm eolloquy developed be-
tween representative Graham, of Hi
nois, Democrat, and senator Nelson,
chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Vertrees read several letters in
connection with the calling in of the for
est service by CLAWS ana during the
cross examination it was shown that
before CLAWS was called off the Alaska
coal land cases in May, 1908. he had
telegraphed the department at Washing
ton that the closing up of a thousand
cases in Oregon had been urged by the
United States attorney at Portland. Gla-
Wis was assigned to the Oregon work
three days later, being removed from
the Alaska case. CLAWS testified that
he received no orders to resume the
Alaska cases until October 1908.
Questioning developed into a long
argument in the brief executive session
preceding the hearing in the afternoon.

PIPE LINE To HE'LL
DEMANDED BY
JEFF DAVIS
Would Have Rockefeller
There to Receive the Oil
as 1t Came.

Washington. D. c., FEB. 17--Charg-
ing senator Owen, of Oklahoma, with
being interested in the affairs OF the
Standard Oil company and saying he
would like to see John d. Rockefeller
wrapped in the flames of hell senator
Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, today made
speech in the senate which was fittingly
characterized by him as red hot and
right off the bat"
The speech was made apropos the ef-
forts of Mr.. Owen to- have passed
general bill giving the rightofWay
through the public lands of Arkansas
for a gas pipe line. Mr.. Davis SAID
the bill was in the interest OF the
Prairie Creek company, which he SAID
was a branch of the Standard OH COM
pany. He said he could not sit idly by
and allow bill to be passed which is In
direct conflict with the antitrust laws
of his state. He challenged any DenIV-
cratic senator to vote for the BILL
Referring to the operations OF the
Prairie Creek company in Oklahoma ne
said it was the same concern that hao
caused so much scandal in that STAKE
and was one in whose behalf governor
Haskell had interfered to the extent OF
creating stencil w--lch filled the DOS
trils of everybody

pany in Arkansas" he exclaimed ne
only place 1 would be willing to see
pipe line laid for the Standard OH COM
pany would be straight from here TO
hell. and 1 should want to see OIL flow
ing directly there. Furthermore, / would
be glad TO see that old trust magnate
John d. Rockefeller, there TO receive
the oil and would be glad to see the
flames that its appearance would create
wrapped snugly around him..
He said that Mr. Owens's support for
the bill was due TO the fact that In
some way, the Oklahoma senator was
believed to be interested in the Stand
ard OIL. This imputation brought Mr.
Owen to his feet, but ne was smiling
when he said: THE impudent speech
which the senator from Arkansas has
just delivered has no foundation in
fact"
We'll, Mr.. president. the senator acts
like he was interested" responded Mr..
Davis smiling. land by jinks, believe
he is Interested"
The two senators slammed left hand
ed compliments back and forth for
some time while the senate laughed
immoderately. but finally the bin was
passed, Mr.. Davis being the only sen-
ator to vote no"

NEW TURN IN A
BRIBERY CASE
Man Who Gave the Bride
Declares His Company
Was Blackmailed.

Albany. " Y. Feb. 17.-Senator
Allds's attorneys devoted mucn time al
the senate investigation of charges
against their client today by trying TO
discredit his accuser, senator Benn Con-
ger, by proving him self confessed
giver of bribes.
Conger insisted that the circum-
stances under which he and his broth
er Frank distributed $4,000 nine years
ago to protect the American Bridge
company did not constitute bribery
and declared, Il should call it black
mail
His answer is not allowed to stand
on record but it revealed the defence
he will make If the proceedings result
in an attempt to punish him as well
as the man he accuses.

Mother Thew has come to FL Paso-
And with her she carries dozen flre
and police badges from many cities OF
the west Mother Thew is the only
honorary woman member of many fire
and notice departments. She has just
come down from Seattle where she was
given a pretty badge with Mother
Thew stamped on it, and where she
took ride on the fire tug, and shook
hands with every fireman active and
retired.
1t was 10 wears ago that Mrs. Thews
husband died. and then she became Mrs.
Matilda Thew, but not for long. She
fell interested in firemen, later in the
policemen, and now she is Just plain
Mother Thew without any frlBls. mat

rest of it, in visiting the firemen and

Playing a Waiting Game.

The game of politics is being played
in Frankfort this winter at a lively
rate, and it is game between the Re-
publicaus, backed by the State Admin
istration, and the Democrats who are
members of the two legislature bodies
says Brother Pulliam, of the Harrods-
burg Herald, and it looks as if ne has
things sized up about right. The game
! is to fix the blame for present condi'
lions on.the other fellow. The Repub-
lican officials thought they had things
all fixed up when.they asked the Leg
isalture to say whether the salaries of
the members should be paid out of the
fund set aside fer the schools. 1t was
neat trap, but the Democrats lodged
it and replied by simply saying that it
was not their province to manage the
affairs of the State. The Republicans
then played their trump card, the jok
or. By announcing tina. no warrants
would be cashed for the members sal
aries. This was blow that was Sc
rious at least the Auditor and Treas
urer thought it would be serious.
Much to their surprise. the members
have not done much talking about the
failure to pay. the most of the Demo-
Gratis have not even tried to get the
Treasurer to cash their warrants The
Auditor and the Treasurer figured that
the best way to bring to the attention
of the members the fact that the
treasury was empty would be to hold
up the pay of the members. so it was
done, the State not having the actual
money to pay the claims. Now each
side seems to be playing waiting
game and is watching 10 see what the
other fellow is going to do. The war;
rants can be cashed, at slight dis
count, at almost any bank, even
though they do not bear interest, so

provide a way TO pay the claims out

Legislature says that the Republicans
should not have gone in debt. State
Treasurer Farley says it is not ques-
ton of politics at all. but it is bust
ness proposition entirely He says the
state must pay its debts. and the only
way to pay them is for the General
Assembly to provide some way to raise
the money. Things now are in coma
tose condition and promise to remain
that way for some time. The Republi-
cans are trying to shift the burden of
the debt of the state from their ,wn
shoulders to those of the Democrats.

the burden. 1t looks like there will be
some interesting doings before the

The Prospects for 1910.

Receipts of cattle fer 1909 were
somewhat in excess of those of 1908,
but broader beef market has made
better trade. There is much interest
in the future of the market now, but
little knowledge as to one of the main
factors in 1.-THE number of cattle on
feed Says the National Stockman:
From many points come reports of
serious reduction in the feeding of
cattle, while very few sections admit
an increase 1t is hard to credit all
reports for reduced feeding in view of
the number of feeder cattle that have
gone from grazing section and mar
kets to feeding sections. Certainly
many people are feeding cattle or feed
would be cheaper. One thing quite
noticeable now is the trend toward
short feeding. Cattle men of the corn
belt assert that large proportion of
the stock in feed lots will be marketed
in January and February and compare
lively little fed for Spring. If tn y
are correct, the.man who gets cattle
ready for the Spring trade ought to bill
it right.
