TAFT DROPS ALDRICH AND
BALLINGER WILL RESIGN
Complete Political REIMBURSEMENT in Circles Close
to the President Is Now in Progress
Cannon Another to Be Removed.

Beverly. Mass, Aug. 12-Certain
events Of to-day, following incidents of
the past week or So lead inevitably to
the conclusion that a complete political
readjustment in circles close to President
Taft is In progress. Senator Aldrich call
ed to see the President early to-day be-
fore the chief executive had finished his
morning meal. He talked with tho Presi-
dent So minutes. He found that Mr.. Taft
had not had an opportunity to read tho
senator's reply to Senator Brstows
charges regarding the rubber tariff. The
President was graitified. however. that
Senator Aldrlch had consented to mako
Il statement In doing so. it Is said. that
the senator performed an act which fit
ted exactly into program which has
been framed by party leaders close to
the President.
Although he is not to retire until March
q, I'LL. the readjustment plans now In
progress apparently treat whatever in
fiuence Mr.. Aldrtch may have had with
the President as thing Of tho past. The
elimination of Mr.. Aldrch, according 10
close political observers, is soon to be
followed by tho retirement of Secretary
Richard Ballinger Of the cabinet The
Republican party is facing one OF tho
most crucial campaigns in its history
this fall, and party leaders are arriving
daily to do all they can to bring about an
adjustment of the differences within the
party.
BALLINGER'S FORTUNE LOST.
Mr.. Ballinger has lost practically all
his personal fortune In defending himself
from the attacks upon him. 1t Is said
that one attorney fee alone In the con-
gressional investigation was $4,000 II
the secretary Is to recover these losses
he must soon resume the lucrative prac-
tice OF law. which he left to take up the
duties Of head OF the interior department
The retirement of Mr. Ballinger Is fixed
for September To- The congressional COM
mittee will have reported by that time
and the date Is sufficiently early to take
the so-called Ballnger issue out of the
campaign
The third move In contemplation is said
to be directed against Speaker Cannon.
1t is not admitted In Beverly that Mr..
Cannon will even be n candidate for the
speakership Representative Mckinley
Of Illinois. q close friend of Cannon and
chairman of the republican congressional
campaign committee, was asked here the
other day II no thought Mr.. Cannon could
be elected to the chair again.
II have not heard that no will be n
candidate" was the significant reply.

UNCLE SAM SHORT|
OF HALF DOLLARS
Treasury to Coin Several Million
-$29,00O,O0O of Gold Bull
lion on Hand.

Washington, Aug. 1-Twenty-nino
million dollars worth of gold bullion is
now In tho treasury vaults. In striking
contrast to this fact was the statement
at the treasury department yesterday
that there Is u shortage In the supply OF
silver nalf dollars.
Gold has been pouring into the gov
eminent vaults tor somo time until
there IS large surplus now on hand,
while the supply of silver half dollars
Is not equal to the demand. Department
officials cannot account for this peculiar
state Of affairs.
To meet 1t an order will be issued for
the coinage OF several million half dol
lars. At the same time while there is no
great demand for gold coin, the depart.
fnent has no use for such an enormous
quantity of bullion Therefore, most of
the gold bullion will be sent to the mint
for coinage.
IL Is not unlikely that Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Andrew will make
tour Of Inspection Of tho several branch
| fnints and assay offices of the United
States scattered between the two oceans
lf Mr.. Andrew goes on this trip he will
probably be accompanied by United
states Treasurer McClung and Controller
or tho Cur ncy Murray.
Mr.. Andrews departure on such trip
would leave Secretary Hilles In sole
charge of the treasury department, as
he las been for some time this summer.
Since the retirement of James r Rcy
nolds from the assistant secretaryshlp on
September /. 1910, the supervision of the
customs branch of the department has
been In the hands of Mr.. Hilles for eight
months. and he has been In charge Of the
whole department a considerable part OF
that time. owing to the long illness OF
Assista Secretary MacVeagh and the
retl emcnt OF ex-Assistant Secretary Nor
ton.
It is now stated that Mr.. Curtis will not
return to duty before October l. Mr..
Curtis has been sick since May. when his
knee was injured. and he later suffered

fined in the house of a friend on Long
Island for a number of weeks. Mr.. Cur
