Washington, April 29.-Indignantly
denying he had been guilty of any
wrong doing, Secretary Ballinger bit
terly attacked his critics while wit
ness before the inquiry today, charac.
terizing MANY sworn statements of his
principal accuser, CLAWS, as "willful
and deliberate lies" He referred
proudly to Roosevelt's high estimate of
him, referring particularly to the state
ment Roosevelt made when Ballinger
was commissioner of the land Office
that he had secured a twenty-five thou
sand dollar man for five thousand.
He defended his conduct in connec-
ton with the Cunningham coal cases
and emphatically stated he would take
the same action today as he did when
in the land office if he had the same
record before him. He said when he
became Necretary of the interior he re-
fused to pass upon claims in any way.
His testimony today dealt almost en-
tirely with the CLAWS charges. He
will continue tomorrow.

THE ELKS.

On all sides. from all natiOnali-
ties, nothing but praise and COM
mendation can be heard of the
recent convention and parade of
the Elks. They were the most
orderly set of men who have ever
been to this city. The appearance
of the different organizations
upon the public streets last Tues
day was an occasion for the high
est praise. The consensus of
opinion was that the Baltimore,
Md, organization was composed
of the best dressed and the best
looking men in the entire parade.
Their uniforms were spotless.
There was no disturbance by any
member of the Elks, and their re-
ceptiOn at Convention Hall was
attended by a large number of
people, and the gowns of the
ladies were equal to those of some
of the State receptions given IN
this city. The joint local COM
mittee of both organizations that
arranged for this harmony con-
ventiOn deserves the highest
praise. The meeting at True Re
formers Hall was a harmonious
gathering. The delegates were or
derly in every particular.
Too much cannot be said of the
meeting of the Elks in this city.
They demonstrated the fact that
they can do as well as others, and
all they want is an opportunity.
The Bee, on behalf of the people.

the man with a crouch never sue

Lsbon.-An active, good humored,

year-old king Of Portugal, who is ex-
pected to visit the United Kingdom In
November.
The comprehensive and strenuous
education considered necessary for
his exalted position has not dulled the
ready wit which he has inherited
from Queen Amelia, and he also
shares her open air tastes, spending a
good part of his leisure in tennis,
fencing and riding. He has, moreover,
artistic accomplishments, being both
a musciaE and painter.
Before the tragic events that
brought him to the throne, he was be-

himself eagerly into the study Of mod

Taft and the Negro

(From the Atlanta, Ga, independently
1t is generally charged by the po-
l1tical negroes and one or two selfish
negro papers in this country that
President Taft is a negro hater, DOM
mated by Southern sentiment, and is
largely tainted with 'white-lillyism" to
the end that he IS displacing all negro
office holders with white men.
Now, what are the facts? The In
dependent says that the charge is not
we'll founded and has no standing in
fact. What negro office holder in this
country has he displaced by a white
man? Granting, for the sake of the
argument, that negroes are entitled to
the places because they are negroes,
and white men are not entitled to the
places because they are white, if they
charge the resignation of DR.. Crum, at
Charleston, to President Taft's admin
lstratlOn, for which he IS not response
bic, it would be offset by the appoint
ment of Whitfield MCKinlay as col
leCtor of customs at Georgetown, D.
{. This IS a position that no form
er President has ever given a negro.
Some of the anti-Taft negroes have
gone so far as to say that the appoint
ment of Hon Henry Lincoln John
son as recorder OF deeds, to succeed
Hon. John {. Dancy, was a blow at
the race. How they ever reached
such a Conclusion the Independent is
at loss to know. Johnson is a ne
gro and Dancy IS a negro, and how
his appointment was a blow at the
race any more than the appointment
OF the new commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington. to succeed
Commissioner Capers, of South Car
olina, was a blow at the white race.
In Arkansas, Col. John F. Bush,
negro, has been appointed to succeed
himself; in Alabama. Col. Nathan Al

to succeed himself; at Jacksonville.

that the whereabouts of people to

offices heretofore closed in their faces,
and the only change that the Inde-
pendent has been able to discover on
the political horizon is that the Pres
ident takes political advice from diff
ferent source. The Independent gives
the President clean bill of health
and presents his record as a complete
refutation of the charge that he is
against the race. His administration
is a success from every point of view,
both in the recognition of the rights
of all the people, in the distribution of
patronage and III his contribution to
