Former Chief Forester Flags
Bd|Iinger Before Congress
siOndI Committee
UNFAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST
Says Secretary Was R%ecfeant to
the Public and False to
the President.

Washington, Feb. Exchanging di-
rectly that Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger has been unfaithful both to
the public. whose property he has en-
dangered, and to President Taft,
whom he deliberately deceived, for
mer Forester Clifford Pinchot went on
the witness stand in the Ballinger in
v~estigation today and opened a fight
on Mr.. Ballinger that promises sensa-
tional developments.
Mr.. Pinchot preceded his testimony
with a statement Of what he expected
to show by his evidence. He did not
mince words in going after Secretary
Ballinger. He accused the secretary
of classifying and declared it would be
proved that he had been recreant to
his trust as a public servant. He ac-
cused the secretary of having made
an explanation of his conduct to the
president that was essentially false
He charged him with being a danger.
GUS enemy to conservation He
charged him with having made a
statement shown by undisputed doc.
umentary evidence Ito be absolutely
false in three essential PARTICULARS
He charged him with having "wilfully
deceived the president" and of being
disloyel to the president.
Mr.. Pinchot's first hours on the
witness stand were as replete with
sensations as had been promised and
the s~utfocating crowd in the hearing
Toom hung i~ntently upon every word
that fell from his lips. A trile ner-
Nous at first Mr.. Pinchot soon became
accustomed to his surroundings and
maintained a confident poise there.
after. Summarized, here is Pinchot's
testimony:
Charges Against BaiIinger.
That the policy of conservation of
national resources, initiated under
President Roosevelt, was undermined
its foundations completely destroyed
n the structure put in danger of
collapse by the first new official acts
of Ballinger as secretary of the int
rior.
That Ballinger, Immediately upo1
assuming office, by throwing open tc
entry water power sites previously
withdrawn to safeguard the peoples
interest by Secretary Garfield and
President Roosevelt, sought to undo
this work and was stopped only by
presidential order.
That by terminating an agreement
which the interior department had
with the forest service whereby the
latter administration restored the for
est lands on Indian reservations, these
wards Of the government lost money
the people the best utilization of the
forests and the interior department
services of vast Importance.
That the cooperative agreement
was terminated upon the production
of false evidence.
A stirring incident of the day was
the objection of Attorney Vertrees,
counsel for Ballinger, to Pinchot's re.
lating while on the stand, the sub.
stance of an interview which the for.
mer chief forester had with President
Taft on the ground that such might
result in embarrassment to the presi.
dent and was not good policy. The
testimony was finally withheld pend.
Ing a settlement in executive session.

Turks and BuIgarians Reported in Sc.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 24.-News has
reached here of a serious clash be-
tween the Turkish and Bulgarian from
tier troops in the Tamrush district, in
which many on both sides were killed.
No details of the fighting have been
received further than that the soldiers
fought with rifles and machine guns.
Bulgaria has more than 10000
troops massed in the Kostendil and
Dubnitza districts and there is grave
fear that they may commit some overt
act that will precipitate a Turko-Bul-
garian struggle before Bulgaria is
ready for 1t.

hGVS Of the Week From War;
Gus Parts Of The State.
BEFORE The SUPREME COURT
Minimum Commodity Rate Case
Is Argued.

Whether a state may fix a mini
mum rate on a commodity of inter
state commerce below the cost OF
transportation was the basis for a
rather lengthy argument before the
supreme court of the United States
The legal representatives of the state
of North Dakota defended the consti.
tutionality of the state law of 1907,
fixing the rate on coal, and counsel for
the Northern Pacific Railway company
attacked it as designating a rate be.
low the cost of service.
Counsel for the state argued that
the reason why the cost OF service was
not controlling where a single rate
was involved was twofold. In the
first place, it was commended, it was i'm
possible to determine with anything
like accuracy what such cost of serv.
ice vas In the second place. there
was no injury to the equitable title Of
service not being controlling, as long
as the carrier was allowed on the
whole to earn a fair profit ON the in,
vestment in the business.
In the case of the rate on coal it
was argued that it may be entirely
reasonable for the state to put in force
a low rate for the purpose of develop
ing a great natural by stimu,
lating the purchase of local coal in
place of foreign coal, through the re.
duction in the cost of the former.
Argument Declared Illogical.
AS to the argument that the reduc.
tion of the rate on coal meant an ad-
ditional burden on other commodities
counsel for the state commended that it
was illogical to speak of this as rob.
bling Peter to pay Paul" According
to their point of view the subject was
neither more or less than a case of
proper rate classification. with the in
cidental result that one commodity
sustains a greater weight Of expense
than another.
1t was said that the result of a de.
cision in accordance with the conten.
ton of the railroads would be to Grip
pie seriously, if not practically to de-
stroy, the ratsmaking power of the
nation and of every state.
"The burden OF proof is upon the
railroads to show that the rate in.
volved will cut down the net earnings
of the railroad from purely ~intrastate
business below the point Of a fair
profit" said the states counsel.
On the other hand, the counsel for
the Northern Pacific commended that in
order to be constitutional the rate
must permit a fair amount of profit
for the railroad.

TO LIGHT THE TOWN
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN TO PUT IN
 AN ELECTRIC PLANT SOON.
Gold Storage and Ice Factory to be
 Added to Business Later On.

Green Forest is soon to be lighted by electricity. This is no fairy story nor campaign prevarication. The men be- hind the enterprise have employed nc ''ifs' nor lands.
 It is all home capital, engineered by home talent, and they are men who are on the side of do-something. The company is composed of Ben liar bert, Dr. F. R. Morrow, R. L. Jerni- gan, w. L. Sneed and J. B. Reeves.
 The plant will be located on the south side of the canning factory switch and will cost in the vicinity of $5000. The light proposition is only intended as a starter, as the plant is going to be designed from the start to add cold storage and an ice factory.
 An ordinance covering the necessary franchise is now in the course of prep aration and unless some unforeseen obstacle arises, the plant will be con- pleted and in operation before the end of the coming summer.
