SCANDAL ARISES
in PHILIPPINES
F. w. Carpenter, Executive Sec
retary, Accused OF Misconduct
in Lease of Friar Lands
Nephew of Dean c. Worcester
Also Involved in
Charges

WASHINGTON. June 1S.-As result
of information sent to the house last
Saturday by the war department dis
closing the alleged fact that Frank w.
Carpenter. executive secretary of the
Philippine government. and E. L.
Worcester had bought and leased frier
lands in the Philippines, Representative
Martin (democrat) of Colorado today
introduced a resolution demanding an
investigation and charging malfeasanee
in office.
Worcester is a nephew of the Philip
pine secretary of the interior. Dean G.
Worcester. The information upon which
Martin bases his resolution was sent to
the house in response to a previous
resolution he had introduced inquiring
what persons had acquired these lands
The report said that one OF the friar
estates had been sold to Carpenter and
5000 acres of another estate were
leased to Worcester. The sale and lease
were made by the director of public
lands in the islands and was approved
by the secretary of the interior
Representative Martins resolution de-
clares these transactions are so Grim
inaIIy corrupt and immoral as to con-
stitute malfeasance in Office on the part
of the officials involved"

only connection he had ever had with
the Cunningham claimants was the
preparation of affidavit in September,
1905"
Defending Ballingers clear listing of
the Cunningham claims. Vertrees says
the action was upon recommendation
of Chief of Field Division Schwartz, the
official upon whom he relied to be ad-
vised IF that order was erroneous" 8"
continued Vertrees, clearly the secre-
tary would be excused; but it was not
erroneous. 1t was proper and right as
the record stood"
Vertrees referred to the testimony, of
Ballinger's confidential stenographer,
T. NJ Kerby. who declared that no act
of Ballinger, within his knowledge, re-
fiected against the secretary.
Referring to the interior department,
Vertrees says: Nothing has been re-
vealed which reflects upon the loyalty
the integrity, the good faith, the sense
of duty of any man therein"
The only persons who can be criti-
cised. continues Nertrees, are those who
have.been discharged and have arrayed
themselves against the secretary and
the department of the interior.
BRIEF FOR PINCHoT
Attorney Pepper. in his brief for
Pinchot. declares Ballinger entered his
forestry problems" and nothing what
ever of power site protection.
Pepper gave general and a specific
answer to the question as to what in
ference ought to be drawn from the
testimony respecting the administration
of the interior department since Bal
linger became secretary. His general
answer was that there has been no
administration worthy of the name, but
only a series of acts unwise in them
selves, referable to no sound theory of
principle or action, and that these acts
have been directly responsible for en-
barrassment to the president and loss
to the people.
His specific answer was that the tes-
ltimony taken in this investigation es-
tablishes that the course pursued by the
department has been characterized by
a lack of fidelity to the public interest;
that Ballinger is responsible not merely
technically and officially, but substan-
TALLY and actually, for the entire
series of unhappy events" and that the
president would never have found him
self irrevocably committed to an in
dorsement of the secretary had he not,
at critical points. been successfully
deceived" as to the real significance of
what was happening in the department
AS regards the secretarys attitude
toward forest lands. Pepper declared
that .'in the two instances where Bal
linger as secretary has had to do with
the administration of the national
forest he has sacrificed the public In
terest in petty manifestations of hos
tility to the forest service"
Asserting that the original charge or
deception made against Ballinger had
been eorroborated by his conduct on the
witness stand. Pepper said that Bal
linger was compelled to take direct
issues of veracity with different wit
nesses and that first statements on the
stand have in number of Instances
been contradicted by admissions subse-
quently wrung from him on cross ex-
animation or by the terms of the docu-
ments subsequently produced.

Washington Letter to Chicago Evening
 Post
 In Washington lives John Lane, a de- scendant on his fathers side of an old Virginia family, and on his mothers side of an old New England family. MT. Lane is s6 years of age. For some years he has liked to puzzle people whom he met by telling them that he was the only living person who ever saw George Washington. Now, as Washington died in 17s9 and as MT. Lane Is only s6 years old, it can be understood that persons to whom the statement of having seen George Washington was made were nat urally increduloAs and looked on their informant as being something of joker or as being something which they did not care to mention when facing him.
 When the old Virginian has excited curiosity or incredulity to the highest pitch he will make explanation. When he was a boy about 10 years old he was standing on the road in Georgetown when a Mount Vernon stage coach passed. The driver knew the boy and asked him if he wanted ride. He did and he climbed up and took bis seat beside the driver and stuck there all the way to Mount Vernon. It happened that at the time of their arrival the body of Washing ton was being moved from the old tomb to the new one, and in order to make sure that the ghouls who had entered the old sepulcher some time before had not disturbed the remains of the Father of His Country the coffin was opened and the boy Lane was lifted up to look upon the face of the first American" So it is that today MT. Lane can say truthfully that he is the only living per- son who ever saw George Washington. Everybody else who was present at the removal of the remains died long ago.

Southern Business Men Alert

The seonference of business men, held Iin,-Atlanta on October ', is to be fol- resentative business men of Is southern states in the spring of 1911 under the auspices of the Southern Commercial Congress, an organization that seeks to create a greater nation through a greater south. This congress is managed by a board of governors, two from each state. Alabama is represented in this board by State Senator Watt T. Brown and George Gordon Crawford, and all of the other governors are also men of high char acter and standing.
 The congress maintains an office in Washington, and it is said a pathway to this office has been worn grassless by the feet of men seeking information
  desirous of getting in touch with south ern conditions.
 The movement disregards single locali ties. taking broad view of southern de- velopment and destiny. It makes for publicity of the south as a whole We have been inspired" says the report made by the Atlanta conference, 'to a broader comprehension of the coming de- velopment of the southern states as a whole we have been lifted above state lines to see that the problem of hasten ing southern development in keeping with the radical changes latent in the com pIeted Panama canal must be met and met at once by cooperative publiicty and advertising maintained by the business men and organizations of the south and dealing with the opportunities which the south, as a whole, holds for opportunity seekers This cooperative endeavor must embrace the whole territory extending from Baltimore to Brownsville and run ming inland to include as far north as Kentucky and running westward through Missouri to include Oklahoma"
 The work of the Southern Commercial Congress consists in word in giving to the world a view of the south free from misapprehension, and surely a work of that nature deserves the support of every southern business man. The south has Jagged behind the northwest in the re- spect of worldwide publicity, but in these days of canals and re-opened rivers the south cannot longer afford to be modest. It must make it's opportunities and com- mercial advantages known, and the Southern Commercial Congress, possess ing an office in Washington, Is the straightest, best and most economical means to the desired result.

WHY HE WOULDN'T SHOOT

From the Jewish Chronicle.
 A deputation of three soldiers once came to the late pr. Lueger to make some kind of request in their behalf. The burgomaster of Vienna turned to one of the soldiers with the following in- quiry: What would you do if the Kaiser commanded you to shoot the burgo- msater?"
 "I would shoot him. said the soldier. "Sor' exclaimed Dr. Lueger, and what is your religion?"
 'I am a Protestant
 Dr. Lueger spoke to the second soldier. What would you do if the Kaiser com mander you to shoot the burgonAster?" '"Then I would shoot him. said the soldier.
 And what is your religion?"
 q am a Catholic"
 The burgomaster turned to the third soldier.
 would you have shot me if the Kaiser commanded you to do so?''
 'No,'' said the soldier.
 And what is your religion?"
 q am Jew" he answered.
 "Whatv' exclaimed the burgomaster. DO you not know that I am the great est anti-Semite in Austria? Tell me, why would you not have shot me?'
 Because I have no rife; am the drummer of the regiment

CARLOTTA'S WAITING NEARLY
 OVER

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Carlotta, the ex-empress of Mexico, is dying. For over 40 years the wife of the ill-fated Maximilian has been helplessly insane. One of the palaces of the king of the Belgians near Brussels is the asy- lum of this white-haired, frail woman, whose days of suffering are almost over.
 At times come little flashes of reason and mourning for the emperor. Carlotta cries out: "He is dead They have killed him. I know the Mexicans.
 Then the clouds come back and Car lotta is again the empress of Mexico. She lives once more amid the splendor of that dazzling court. But into her joy creeps "a bitter sorrow.
 The emperor has been gone so long so long," she says pitifully to her at tendants. Then she turns again to the window hoping against hope for his re- turn. So watching and waiting the years have gone by.
 Among the daughters of royalty have been many brilliant and beautiful women. Into many of their lives has crept a note of tragedy But no woman of royal line age and history in this age save perhaps one-Eugenie, ex-empress of the French has met so sad fate as Carlotta.
 The weary years of waiting are nearly over The empress Is soon to start on another long journey-the most wonder full one she ever taken. There will be no booming of cannon, no ringing of bells. Quietly and peacefully Carlotta will slip away to join the emperor.
