RONOR THAT
BALL|NGER
MAY RESIGN
GBy Associated Press. ]


Beverly, Mass, Aug. NO state
ment was forthcoming from official
quarters here today regarding the
meeting between Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane and Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger in Minneapolis
yesterday.
When 1t was suggested to the
White House officers that that Sena-
tor Crane may have felt called upon,
in order to bring about party har-
mony. to request the secretary of the
interior to resign, the only answer
was that Senator Crane would have
to be asked about that phase of the
matter
When Senator Crane came to see
President Taft last Friday an attempt
was made to keep his visit a secret.
Secretary Norton was plainly wor-
ried when he found that Senator
Cranes presence in Beverly had been
detected. The senator himself had
made secrecy a condition of his com
ing.
1t is known that Senator Crane
was sent for to go on an important
mission for the president to Seattle.
The meeting with Secretary Bal
linger at Minneapolis suggests mod
ification of the original plans and
justities the announcements which
followed the interview here. that SEN
ator Crane might not go all the way
to the coast
Secretary Norton admitted today
that there was more to Senator
Cranes mission than had appeared in
the newspapers.
1t was said that Mr.. Cranes visit
to the president was instigated more
by certain party leaders, including
the secretary to the president, than
by President Taft himself.
The president has received many
letters suggesting that Secretary Bal
linger, because of the attacks made
upon him. was proving an embarrass-
ment in the making of the plans for
the coming congressional campaign.
Mr.. Taft, having stood by Secre-
tary Ballinger through all of his
troubles and still believing in him,
refused to heed the complaints.
However. they have had their eff
feet on others connected with the
administration and the party, and it
is reported here that certain of the
leaders may have taken it upon them
selves to handle the situation.
But Secretary Ballinger remains to
be reckoned with. He has repeatedly
declared that he would not resign.
and among his friends there is
strong belief that he will not resign
unless directly asked to do so by the
president. This, 1t is declared here,
the president Will not do

MAY CONVERT !.
THE T.! n
INSTITUTE

Governor Shafroth while in Grand
Junction last Saturday gave assur-
ances to Secretary Meyer of the Mesa
County Business Association that he
would do everything in his power to
have the Indian school converted into
either an agricultural or horticulture
al school, or a branch OF the latter.
THE Indians are quite a problem,
said the governor. land they. of
course. must be taken care of. | do
not see, however. how we can he eX-
pected to support them. clothe and
educate and feed them, too. AL
though the federal bill does not pro-
vide for this, il is difficult to work
out plan for educating them with
out also boarding them.
"At Fort Lewis" continued the
governor, the problem is even more
serious. Here is an institution 20
miles from town DurangoD. with
no means of communication. If we
open an educational institution there.
we have no method OF conveying the
students to the school,"
Governor Shafroth was of the
opinion that the western slope was
entitled to a horticultural school OF
some kind. the only possible obstacle
being in securing an appropriation
for that purpose. The appropriations
now being made of 3 million dollars
he considered a good deal for state
the size of Colorado; but was of the
opinion that some hope could be held
out of securing money for establish
ing a horticultural college.
Governor Shafroth also discussed
with Secretary Meyer the prospect of
securing a convict camp in this coun-
ty and promised that later on such d
camp might be established on the
western slope.

WORLD RECORD
HOLDER WOULD
RACE RALYVE

An effort TO match Saul Haiyye
with any professional or amateur run
ner in the world has borne fruit if an
agreement can be reached between
the holder of the worlds indoor rec
ord for the lO-mile and smile dis
tances and the local lad who without
a doubt is entitled to the record for
the distance OF lO-miles out of doors.
In a letter to The Sentinel today.
William Stanley. who is known as
the world S champion indoor runner,
issues a public challenge to Saul
Halyve OF this city for a long dis
tance or Marathon race of from Is
TO 20 miles. the choice optional with
the Indian, to occur in this city with
in a very few weeks.
Stanley lowered the worlds record
for five miles at Victoria, b. c., when
he ran against several of the inter
national long distance men, placing
the mark at 26 minutes and sec
onds. December 22. 1909. he broke
the world 5 l0-mile indoor record
placing il at 80 minutes and IA sec
onds. Saul has beaten both times
OUT of doors and it is certain that
Stanley in the open air could also
lower these times so that a race be-
tween the two men would be draw
ing card which would be hard to beat.
The letter follows:
