Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary Bal
linger of the interior department to-
dav suspended from office Supt. John
ID. BENEDICT of the Five Civilized tribes
of Oklahoma and three supervisors
as the result of an investigation which
has disclosed "a disgraceful condition
affecting the material and moral well
fare of the schools.
As a result of the investigation which
the interior department has been car
.rying on for some time past, and which
will be continued, other officials of the
Indian service may suffer fate like
that of Supt. Benedict and the three
Supervisors suspended TO-DAY. The in
yestigation, which resulted in today's
action was entered into because of
various reports reaching the depart
ment here, charging the officials al
ready suspended as well as others
with activities which it was thought
were improper for government en-
ployes. The suspended supervisors are
Calvin Ballard, of the Choctaw schools
at McAllister, Frederick H. Unholtz, Of
the Chickasaw schools, Adrmore and
Walter Falwell, ofthe Creek schools at
Muskogee. Before any further action
is taken in their cases, the four men
will be allowed to make answer to the
secretary of the interior as to the
charges against them.
From the report made in the case, it

er. Unquestionab this action was taken
with the intention of complimenting the
Speaker, and it will be reported to the
Senate.
Speaker Cannon, it is said, feels that it
will be impolitic for him to take advan-
tage of this condition and override the eX-
pressed order of majority of the House
and it is probable, therefore, that the
Senate will take such action as will steer
clear of a controversy with the House 1t
is now said that the Speaker himself
would prefer that the House should select
the committee. In case this course pre-
walls. the Republican members probably
will designate their representatives in
caucus, and it is said that in that event
the insurgents will participate in the eau
Gus. No matter how the general situa-
ton may shape itself, the controversy
between the secretary of the interior and
his antagonists is not to be the principal
topic in congressional circles during the
week. The question will not again come
up in the House Mntil the Senate has act
ed.
With the resolution adopted by the Sen
ate and final agreement arrived at as
to exact terms between the House and
Senate the investigation will proceed. In
the meantime every effort will be made
to prevent its involving the administra-
ton in too general a way.

SINCERITY DOUBTED.
Madrlz Doing Much Good Trying to
Win American Favor.

washington, Jan. 9.-Dispatches from
Managua indicate that President Madriz
IS making every effort to obtain the favor
OF the United States, and whether sincere
or not he has taken action in several
cases that must commend his administra-
ton to those who have the best interests
of Nicaragua at heart
Madriz past record however, is such
as seems to justify the doubt entertained
in some quarters, as to whether he has
any purpose in view other than to make
secure his position as President of Mic
aragua.
In addition to dispatches received to the
effect that MadriZ had publicly denounced
the killing of the Americans, Groce and
Cannon, as unlawful and unwarranted,
and holding Zelaya personally responsible
for their death. Vice Consul Caldera in a
telegram received at the state department
states that Madriz has issued DEGREES
abolishing all monopolies and ordering all
confiscated properties returned to their
rghtful owners.
He has also ordered all private persons
to surrender any arms they may have in
their possession to the local authorities,
thus minimizing the danger of rioting and
demonstrations against foreigners.

this view are urging the necessary of
preventing any sharp conflict in Con-
gress on the lines of decision. Whether
or not the conservative counsel of this
element will prevail will depend upon
the course Of events in Congress dur
ing the next few days
There is no doubt that the investiga-
ton of the interior department and OF
the forest service will proceed along
the lines indicated by the Jones'
Humphrey resolution; but it will be
competent for the investigation COM
nittec either to broaden or narrow the
inquiry. If the advice Of many of the

possible, especially now that as an Of

The question will receive its next atten-
ton on the floor of the Senate. The
present situation is this:
The House has adopted the resolution
providing for the appointment of it's men,
bers of the committee by the House it
self, rather than by the Speaker, as was
originally provided. Without awaiting the
official notification as to the action of the

WOMAN MAY DIE.
Female Animal Trainer Attacked by
Leopard in Ugly Mood.

New York, Jan. 9.-The sharp teeth
and claws of Clayton, trained Loop
ard, nearly cost the life Of Mrs. Pauline
Russell, his trainer today but the
length and strength of his tail saved
her.
Clayton was ugly and would not per-
form. Mrs. Russell prodded him with
an iron bar and called to her assistant
for aid In the instant of turning her
head to call, the leopard leaped. He
bore his mistress to the ground and
stood over her growing and lashing his
tail
1t was then the quick-witted assist
ant, reaching into the cage, grabbed
Clayton's tail. took a double hitch
around the bars of the cage with 1t,
and rescued Mrs. Russell.
The woman was badly torn and at
the hospital it was said tonight that
her recovery is doubtful. The attack
occurred in private training quarters.

Liberals Name Candidate to
Oppose Election of Balfolr

Gened stay-at-homes That there will be
many returns to former Unionist allie
glance of seats which the Radicals won
four years ago, is not doubted.
The long list of seeding Liberals who
have been won over to tariff reform, pub
l+hed during the week, indicates that
there may BE- great surprises in the COM
ing elections. Many of these are man
uracturers, who may influence the votes
Of their workers.
The Unionist leaders proclaim their con-
Gdence in the result and they undoubt-
edly have hope, but a UnIonist victory
would require such an enormous turnover
that it is questionable whether even with
be done that reduce the governments ma
iorty to such a small margin that it
would have to depend on the Irish vote
for legislation.
This might result in speedy dissolution
and another appeal to the country in
which the Unionsts would have better
prospects of success.

THE DIFFERENCE.
Mrs. O'Connor Explains What a Suf.
fragist is and Defines a Suffragette.

New York, Jan. 9.-Mrs. T. p. O'Con-
nor, wife of the Irish Parliamentary
leader. arrived in New York today and
defined by quotation the difference be-
tween a suffragist and suffragette.
Mrs. Pankhurst," quoted Mrs.
O'Connor, has made the differentiation
that a suffragist is q persuader and
suffragette is a soldier. For myself I
believe in using persuasion first and
then becoming soldier.
But in England we have tried per-
suason. Well meaning women worked
for years with gentle methods and no
attention was paid to them. This is a
vulgar age, but it Is better to be a vul-
gar and successful woman than an un-
successful lady"

that the conservatives may win enough

Two Millions Of Oranges.

More than 5000 boxes of oranges
will be sold in this district during
the Special Orange Sale advertised
by the California Fruit Growers
Exchange. If these boxes of oranges
were placed end to end they would
measure five miles. 1t requires forty
cars to make up train load. There
are 400 boxes in each car and the
boxes will average 100 oranges each.
Upwards of two million oranges will
be transported on this special train,
and if orders from the trade indicate
anything this immense quantity will
be disposed of during the week. 5000
orchards have been stripped of their
choicest fruit, wrapped in SUNKIST
wrappers, placed in these great
refrigerator cars and are running
under schedule time, just as passen-
ger trains are run, that there may be
no delay and that every dealer may
be supplied.
