 cused Cabinet Member.

Washington. July 19.-EicharG A Ballinger is vindicated. The secre tary of the interior has been unjustll accused by Clifford Pinchot. James k Garfield and Louis Glavis. He is the right man in the right place and he ought to be invited to continue hold ing down the job as long as he cares to have it.

Flint California; Senator George Suther land, Utah; Senator Elihu Root. New York, Representative Samuel w. Me Call Massachusetts, vice-chairman: :: Representative Denby, Michigan; Rep resentatiye Marlin F. Olmstead. Penn sylyania.

 It is understood the result of the laoors of Mir. Nelson and Mir. James nave been submitted to the members or the committee for criticism and ad. dition.
 Putting Report in Shape.
 Ky the time the committee reassem. bles, September 10, it will have in practically final shape the reports which it will make.
 It is intended to give the reports to tne press without delay in order that the charges shall not be uttered that the Republican party deliberately sup. pressed the findings because of fear or the effect upon the impending con. greSsional campaign.
 The report of the majority will be what the friends of Clifford Pinehot nave expected for some months.
 The majority report will declare:
 That MT. Ballinger is a wise. hon. est conservative officer of the gov. ernment.
 mat MT. Ballinger acted entirely "ithln the record and displayed prop. CT Judgment in his attitude with re- Spect to the Cunningham coal claims.

Benjamin Smith, In jail at Mup"le,
Ind, has confessed to- the murder.;of
his father, Charles C. Smith, g, far
mer. The confession was the result.
of sweating after the. young man
had been arrested on suspicion.
According to Smith, who Is %
years old, he and his father had
ouarreled,. over the question as to
whether or not the young man should
pay 81 week for bosrd at home.
The young man struck his father ov-
or the. head with brick and. con-
tinued striking him until he thought
he was dead. Next he LOADED his
father into the family buggy, prop
ped his body. in the seat. and started
for an old well on the farm nearby.
On. the way to the we'll. however,
the father revived little and manag-
ed to put his: arms about the son 8
neck, whereupon he latter beat: his
father over the head again with the
brick which he carried with. him for
that purpose and continued to strike
his father again and again until he
felt certain he was dead. However,
the son thinks that his father wasn't
dead when he threw him into the
we'll.
"Faher drew long sigh and sort
Of groaned. Just. as l thew him into
the we'll" the son told the police:
Smith, his hands smeared with
blood, staggered into the home: of
Oscar Shaw and told story Of hav-
Ing been attacked by highWaymen.
Smiths father was mysteriously miss
Ing, and suspicious were aroused
which led to the sons arrest. Under
examination he finally said that he
would show the police where HIS
fathers body could be found. He
led the police to an abandoned we'll
and, pointing, said, There he is.
Tht coroner counted 27>Wounds on
the murdered mans head and face,
and any one Of half dozen OF these
might have caused his death. .

If the account Of the affair sent
to The State from Gaffney IS correct
most cold blooded, brutal murder
was committed In Cherokee County

Rcbt. Davidson, young white
man, died at his home in the WI

Friday night as a result Of a gunshot
wound inflicted by one of three ne
groes, Luther Curry, Ned Horton or
Will Curry on Thanksgiving night.
It IS impossible to say exactly which
one killed the man. although suspi-
cion strongly points to Luther Curry:
It seems from the evidences that all
three negroes did some shooting. :
The sheriff was summoned to the
scene as soon as the affair happened
and the three negroes are now In
jail. Davidson was picked up aud
taken to his home directly after the
shooting by some of his friende and
physicians were summoned who at
once decided that his leg must Se

stopped at a negro church where a
frolic was going on to get some
thing to- eat before going home. He
obtained something to eat and start
