DENIES He URGED
BALLINGER'S JOB
Senator Piles Gives History
of the Appointments.

Arising to a question OF personal privi-
lege In the Senate yesterday, Senator
Piles, Of Washington. denied that he was
in any way responsible for the appoint
ment OF Richard A. BaIlnger. as Com
missioner Of the Land Oflce, or as Sec
retary Of the Interior
He gave a history Of the appointment
of Mr.. Ballinger to the two positions men,
toned, to prevent. he said. misappre-
hension as to the actual facts by reason
of testimony given before the BaIlinger-
Pinchot investigating committee.
Senator Piles said the first he ever
heard OF Mr.. BaIlinger's name in connec-
tion with the appointment as Commits
sioner Of the Land Office was from former
President Roosevelt. He was summoned
10 the White House at the time 20 testify
as TO Mr.. Ballinger's qualifications.
The then President Informed Senator
Piles that the appointment OF Mr. Bal
linger bad been recommended by the Sec
rotary OF the Interior. James A. Gar
field. Mr.. Garfield had told the President
that Ballinger was a high type Of man.
L told the President that I did not be-
lieye he would accept fsr the reason that
he could not afford TO give up his law
practice said Senator Piles, IN contin-
uing rs story.
MI. Roosevelt requested me to wire
Ballinger and Urge his acceptance. This
tender was not accepted. but under.
stand that both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Garfield later sent a personal message 10
Mr.. Balhnger. urging him 10 accent the
Office. even though he made a personal
sacrifice in so doing.
Conferred with Friends.
4 saw Mr.. Ballinger some time after
ward. and he said. after conferrinr with
friends. he decided 20 accept. feeling that
he was discharging a patriotic duty
These are the facts about this matter
and believe they would be verified
under oath by former President Roose-
velt."
According 20 Senator Piles. Mr. RaI-
hnger informed him that he was anxious
70 have "his friend Jimmy Garfield an
pointed Secretary Of the Interior" The
Washington Senator said that neither he
nor his colleague was consulted by Mr.
Taft with reference TO Mr.. Ballinger's
selection as Secretary Of the Interior.
He said they both regarded the appoint
ment as personal matter.

BALLOONISTS TELL
OF WILD FLIGHT
Forbes and Yates Reached
Altitude of 20,600 Feet.

Horse Cave, Ky. May 11.-Battered and
bruised. but not seriously injured. A. Hol-
land Forbes. the aeronaut. and James H
Yates. amateur astronomer. OF New York,

Col. Schreck. who in 1893 remained I'm the

The aeronauts left quincy at 40 O'Clock
Monday evening Mr.. Forbes said: When
at the elevation o. l5oo0 feet at 11;N
o'clock Tuesday morning. we went
through our first snow storm. We made
a record at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
when we reached the extreme altitude OF

authorized record ever made in America.
In descending from the great eleva-
ton we had very little sand left, and as

extremely fabby.
There was so little gas IN the bag
that the rigging collapsed. and. with the

ROOSEVELT SEES
ARMY MANEUYERS
First Time q Private Citizen
Has Had This Honor.

Berlin. May u-OutwardIy. Col Roose-
velts visit to Berlin has been marked
by quiet and privacy, in strange contrast
to the publicity displayed in other cities.
The fact that King Edward is lying dead
in London Is responsible for this most
unaccustomed calm. German organiza-
tions Of all sorts abandoned their plans
for deputations and receptions on this
account.
Everything. in short. is being played
with the soft pedal, but there is a
troubled under current which is probably
stronger and more disturbed than in any
other place.
At the review OF some 1000 picked
German troops to-day the Kaiser, in the
presence Of 800 staff officers. drew atten-
tion 10 the fact that this was the first
time a private citizen has ever reviewed
the German army. There is some re-
sentiment that such an exception should
have been made
There is surprise bordering on indigna-
ton that Col. Roosevelt should have re-
ceived such exceptional treatment. The
feeling exists in the embassies. in court
circles. and among the solid middle
classes. who apparently do not admit
that Col Roosevelt holds such a position
as to Justify the honOrS planned for him.
To-day was the greatest day Of HIS
visit Reaching Doeberitz at about 8
o'clock in an automobile. and then mount
Ing a cavalry charger. Col. Roosevelt
spent some five hours on horseback. most
of the time talking alone with the Kaiser.
During the greater part Of the sham fight
the Kaiser and Col. Roosevelt were to-
gether on a little eminence apart from
the staff officers. watching the drill.
He returned TO the embassy at 3 o'clock
and remained there until dinner. at which
the chief guests were DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollang. the imperial chancellor; Herr
Won Schoen. the foreign secretary; Mr..
and Mrs. Seth Low, and Consul General
Takahira.
Mr.. Roosevelt to-day looked to be in
perfect health, but his throat shows lit
tie sign of improvement and he is hoarser
than ever. Talking against the artillery
at Doeberitz probably increased the
trouble. II seems almost impossible that
he will be able to lecture tomorrow. but
the hall is small and he is confident Of
his power to make himself heard.

DROWN IN CABINS.
River Steamer Founders with Fifty
two Persons Aboard.

St Louis, May 1.-THE big $4,000
stern wheel steamer City Of Saltillo,
which left here at o'clock tonight for
Waterloo, Ala, with twenty-seven pas
sengers and a large freight cargo, struck
a rock and sank near the Missouri bank
of the Mississippi River at Glen Park,
No. about thirty miles from St. Louis.
In the confusion attending the housing
Of the rescued passengers It could not
be ascertained II any had drowned, but
II is believed many perished.
The City of Saltillo was a member Of
the Taft fleet which took the President
and the deep waterways delegation from
here to New Orleans last fall.
The boat struck at $3.50 o'clock Just as
some Of the passengers were going TO
bed. The boat turned on It's side as if
went down and many are thought to
have been drowned in the cabins.
The crew numbering twenty-five. in
cluding the roustabouts, placed a gang
plank from the boat to the bank across
which the frightened passenger rushed.
