TAFT INSTRUCTED
 LAWLER TO WRITE
 AS IF PRESIDENT
Prosecution of Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation Wants to Know Why Draft Wasn't Sent
 to Senate
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.) Washington, May 1S.-President Taft today stepped into the center of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation arena, following the publication of his letter to Senator Nelson admitting and ex- blaming his use of the now-famous "Lawler draft prepared by the assist
 ant attorney general for the Interior Department as an exoneration of Bal finger.
 The President in his letter says that he ordered Eawler to frame letter and says he told him just what views he wished set forth. He also says he told 1awler to write the letter 'as If he were President Taft contends, however. that his in structionS to Lawler were given after
 he had thoroughly reviewed the docu- ments submitted by the Interior De- partment officials in their references and that his use of the Lawler draft was confined to a few paragraphs lon general subjects
 The prosecution in the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation is endeavoring to figure out today why the Lawler draft of the Presidents letter was not sent to the Senate or previously pro-
 duced in answer to nearly a score of
 specific requests by the prosecution.
 The President did send to the Sem
 ate the summary of Attorney Gen.
 era1 Wickersham which he has admit
 ted was not before him. in its pres
 ent form, when he passed on the
 charges.
 Tn transmitting the various docu-
 ments to the Senate the President
 wrote:
 '"To the Senate-In response to the
 resolution of the Senate of December That the President be and is hereby requested, if in his opinion not incom- patible with the public interests, to transmit to Congress any reports, statements. papers. or documents upon which he acted in reaching his con- cluSionS with reference to the
 charges
 'I transmit herewith the following
 papers,"
 These the President enumerates, omit
 ting, however, any reference to the let ter memorandum and including the Wickersham summary. Another point upon which the .pros- ecution'' is working today is the fact that the copy of the Law1er draft was hurried to the investigation commit
 tee from the Department of Justice, after the statement of Stenographer Kerby regarding it had been in the hands of the officials for several hours.
 Kerby says that about noon Satur-
 day. Massey. the other stenographer WHO Wofkeu oi the LdWier detter, cdll- ed upon him.
 "At 11:30 the Department of the In-
 terior," said Kerby, had been inform ed by telegraph of the prospective pub lication of my statement and the de-
 partment was furnished with a resume
 of my statement. Massey was direct
 ed to see me and ask me if it were
 true, and he brought along notes as to his directions. I told him it was
 true and he went away Three hours after Massey saw Kerby
 the copy of the Lawler draft was sent
 to the committee by Attorney General Wickersham.

 Comet parties have been getting popular in Bridgeport as Halley,s ing thousands arose in the ne1ghbor- hood of 3 o'clock to see the visitor which will not return again until To years have elapsed. The comet rose about 3:0S, but it could not be per of the heavens in which it was to be found were obscured by slight haze. But the morning star was in splendid view and the heavens were otherwise almost cloudless.
 The comet will arise tomorrow at S:15, more than an hour ahead of the sun. On May Is it passes the sun. On this date, and on the day follow ing, the comet cannot be~seen, as it will rise and set almost at the same time as the sun.
 But on May 20 the comet will set at S:11, one hour after the sun, and on May 21 it will set at SIP, two hours after the sun.
 It will therefore be in the evening sky upon the two latter days and thereafter until SOm6tlme Tn June, when it will disappear not to be seen for another 75 years.
 The first evening view of 1t should show it from two to three times as brilliant as it was this morning, and this morning it was 35 times more brilliant than when it first became visible.
 While astronomers do not all agree upon this point, the general opinion among them is that the earth will be swept by the comets tail, Wednes- day.
 Many people, fearing the worst, are making their wills, but the weight of opinion seems to be that the comet will do no damage. The tail contains deadly gases, especially cyanogen, but they are near the head of the comet. The earth's atmosphere, which is about 50 miles deep, would undoubt- edly absorb and make harmless any, thing of this nature that might come into it. But in the whole the tail is made of pretty thin stuff. If not quite as thin as the stuff that dreams are made of, it is somewhere near that.
 The comets tail and the earth are now about 20,000,000 miles apart.
 Prof. David Edgar Rice, of Colum- bia University, is sure they will not touch, but other astronomers figure differently.

TALK NO, 494 DON'T KNOW IT


 DON'T KNOW IT A great many people have serious defects of the eyes and do not know it. They believe they can see as we'll as other peo- pie, simply because they do not know how other people see. If they have headaches they lay it to some other cause. If the type blurs they blame it to the lamp or the quality of the paper. They do not realize that their eyes are bad or that glasses will help them until they have let them go too long, then they have to wear glasses constantly fn- stead of for reading and writing only. If every person would | form this habit of having their eyes carefully examined once year these troubles could be ob- liberated. By giving the defect proper attention the moment it | becomes apparent it can be rem- diey with but little trouble or inconvenience. We will make these examinations as often as you like free of charge and will tell you your exact condition. Can you afford not to have it | done?
