was to invest some Of her untold
wealth in Tulsa property or possibly
lin some oil lands adjoining the city.
A woman dressed in black with q
small sailor was seen leaving the Fris-
co depot Wednesday afternoon after
the 3 o'clock train pulled into the
city. She was recognized by few as
being Mrs. Hettic Green Nothing in
her actions or in her dress would in
the least betray the fact that she is
the wealthiest woman in the world.
She carried only small grip and re-
fused the "cabby" invitation to ride

Washington, Sept. II. - Whether
Richard A. Ballinger's resignation as
secretary Of the interior viii follow
Immediately upon the meeting Of the
cabinet September 26 to attend which
he now is en- route from Seattle, or
whether he will retain the position ia
definitely, at least until after the de-
livery to congress of the representa-
tive committee which investigated his
stewardship Of public domain, de-
pends now upon the attitude of his
associates.
Ballinger is coming to Washington,
friends here insist, wholly unconscious
of any act on his part for which he
should be condemned and has deter.
mined to force his CHIEF and official
colleagues to be his judges If they
concur in the view at present attrib-
uted to President Taft that the accus.
ed secretary shall be sustained as an
innocent and prosecuted man, he will
retain the position; If they fail to
back him up he will resign.
That is Ballinger's position, it was
learned today upon authority hard
ly to be questioned.
At the first meeting of the cabinet
after the summer recess, Secretary
Of War Dickinson, the democratic
member, win not have returned from
the Philippines and will therefore be
saved the embarrassment Of partici.
patton in what is regarded as largely
a problem of republican policy. The
meeting is expected to last three
days. It will surprise nobody here II
the Ballinger case occupies large
part of the time.
Rumors. have been constant and
decidedly definite during the past few
days that Ballinger's resignation
would be one of the first develop
ments of the cabinet meeting, but his
friends, including his associates in the
interior department, refuse to believe
that he would retire under fire.
and pointed to his oft repeated declar
alton to the contrary and to a recent
statement attributed to him that he
would resign only at the specific re
quest of the president.
Some of these, however, today al
mitted themselves and the secretary
to be alive to the fact that the tur
nloi1 and uncertainty into which tht
lprotracted controversy was plunged
the department must be abated sool
unless an important branch Of public
lservice is to become hopeIessly de
moralized. Nobody doubts that TIKI
lmajority-all but one of the republi
can members--of the investigating
committee win sustain Ballinger il
the report to congress.
| Secretary Ballinger and partisani
were greatly disappointed that th'
absence of Senators Root and Film
from the Minneapolis meeting left th'
pro-Ballinger portion of the commit
tee in the minority and permitted th'
democrats and insurgent republican
members to put forth reports con
demning him, which for many week
will stand before the country as tn
only findings Of the investigating con
mittee, whereas he relied upon th

BALANCE FAVORS
FOREIGN NAT|OAS
Effect of Heavy Crop Expectations Of
Next Few Months Awaited
With Interest.

Washington, D. G., Sept. 1.-THE
balance of trade which the statistics
OF the last thirty years have gener-
ally shown to be largely in favor Of
this country has turned over. 1t now
stands a million dollars on the other
side of the ledger for the first eight
months of this calendar year. The
month of August swung the pendu-
lum and brought to the United States
$3,56S, 425 more in trade than it took
out.
From that condition students Of
economics may draw conclusions as
varied as they may be many. One
is that there has been no readjust-
ment of prices in the United States
since the panic of 1907-08. Another
is that the balance of trade has been
against us for long time without
showing in the statistics of merchan-
disc, because Americans spend $780,
100000 a year in Europe and more
millions are paid for ocean steamship
freight rates to the German and Brit
ish banks.
However, it is generally expected
that the condition of national banks
at the close Of business on Septem-
Der /. now being compiled, will YER
ify the latter conclusions in meas
ure and it is predicted that the gold
imports for August, which amounted
to s9,e6s,1SS are but the forerunner
of the flow of gold due to come from
Europe in September and October in
settlements for the shipments of
grain and cotton.
But in spite of the inflow of gold
for August the excess of exports Of
gold for the first eight months on
the calendar year is more than $l0,-
100000. That is said to be about the
natural proportion for this gold-pro-
ducing country

ofiicials because they indicate that
the interior banks have strengthened
themselves for the crop movement
and may not make unexpected calls
on the money centers. The forma-
tion of emergency currency associa-
tions at the suggestion of Secretary
Macveagh is expected to relieve any
situation that might come about from
the interior banks boarding their
money. Some of the hearty suppor-
ters OF the law believe 1t may Offset
the position the treasury is in because
Of the foreign trade situation. 1t is
pointed cut that with the balance Of
trade against the United States and
the working balance in the treasury
at present the emergency currency
issue is the most likely aid the banks
would have at hand.
1t is estimated that the treasury
could not do now what It could do in
1907 to help the banks.
What che heavy crop expectations
of the next two months will do to the
balance Of trade will be watched witt

KANSAS BANKER
FEARS VIOLENCE
Jury AequIts Man Who Killed Dick
Terry at Tahleauah nurine the
Cherokee Payment.


Muskogee, Okla, Sept. II. Some
where between Muskogee and Table
quah, cash L. Pratt, a banker, escort
ed by two heavily armed officers OF
Cherokee county, is driving as fast
as two good horses can carry him to
this city to escape possible violence
at the hands Of friends Of Dick Terry,
who was shot and killed by Pratt last
June.
Pratt was acquitted by jury Fri
day morning at 2;sO. The jury had
been out since Thursday afternoon.
Pratt pleaded self-defense, and wit
mess was produced who swore that he
had taken gun of Terry Immediately
after he was shot by Pratt The Jury
believed that Terry had this gun on
him when he approached Pratt, whom,
lit is alleged, he had sworn to kill.
The killing occurred in the rear OF
the council house at Tahlequah early
one morning during the Cherokee pay
|ment, June 30. Pratt was one of the
bankers who was at the payment col
Iecting accounts He had had trouble
over money matters with Terry be-
fore, and stated that he believed Terry
intended to kill him. SO when Terry
approached the booth where Pratt was
that morning, the latter drew gun
and shot Terry
The courts refused to admit Pratt
to bail. He remained in the Table
|quah Jail The murder was one that
stirred the Cherokee nation as has
seldom been done since the days Of
the feud fights of the old Cherokee
|factionists.
Terry, the man who was killed had
for many years been deputy mar
|shal under the old federal regime, and
had many friends all over the Chero-
Ikee nation, Pratt came to Oklahoma
from Arkansas, and was Of one Of the
best families OF that state. He had
Istood we'll in business circles and had
"a host of friends. Murray Haskell,
of Muskogee, q son Of Governor Has
kell, was one of the witnesses who
testified to Pratt's good character.
Haskell was present during the entire
trial.
