WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-President

of whether he must turn his back to

as with congress, in order to put

There has been a great abundance of
advice and COUNSEL for the president
from Wall street this winter Every
financier who visited the White House
brought out the "bugaboo" of a finan-

that radical legislation would ruin the
country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-(Special to
the Statesman.)-An analysis of the
evidence thus far adduced before the
Ballinger- -Pinchot investigation COM
ments and the testimony of the wit
ness, Louis R. CLAWS, shows strong
Indictment, at least against Mr. Tafts
secretary of the interior.
There has been no effort made to
show that his acts were unlawful or
that he was actually guilty of graft
ing but a strong case has been pre-
sented to demonstrate the improprie-
ty of his conduct both as an official
and as a private citizen appearing as
counsel for the coal land claimants.
From this showing the committee and
the public are left to make their own
deductions and to draw their own
conclusions.
The points made in regard to this
improperly are these:
/. That Ballinger knew from the
affidavits obtained by CLAWS and his
assistants that there was collusion
and fraud on the part of the claim
ants. and that dummy entrymen
We're being used that the work upon
the claims was being done in common,

FRANK DONALD TAKEN
UP BY POLICE ON
SUSPICION.
Thought to Be the Man Who
Has Slashed Animals
In Past Weeks.

Thought to be the person wanted
for the various injuries to horses in
this section during the past few
months, Frank Donald was arrested
at noon today by the police and is in
the city Jail awaiting an investigation
of his case. Donald was found in the
stable of Mike McGrail, ZIG West Su-
mach street, last night at IL o'clock,
when the officers were summoned to
take up a clue leading to the discov-
cry of the fiend who slashed val
liable mare some time yesterday even
ing. He was questioned closely at that
time by Chief of Police Mike Davis,
Officer James Martin and DR.. Woods,
but was allowed his freedom, the po-
lice believing he would do something
to furnish proof of his guilt.
A sleuth was put upon his trail, but
up to noon today, although he had
been carefully shadowed for u hours,
he had refrained from anything that
might rest suspicion upon him. The
officers believe they have the person
responsible for the many injuries to
horses in this vicinity durini, the past
several months.
Donald is neighbor of McGrail, and
lives at 226 West Sumach street. The
