Washington, Feb. 18.-LOuis r
CLAWS was again under cross exam
ination all of today before the Bal
Ilinger-Pinchot Investigating com
mittee and when adjournment was
taken until tomorrow morning there
was no indication that John j. Vert
rees, counsel for secretary Ballinger,
was approaching the end of his con-
slant fire of interrogations.
The scope of the testimony given
by CLAWS and the latitude allowed
by the com imntetieish shrdl mfwyp
allowed by the committee in his
cross examination are almost without
precedent. The cross-examination,
particularly is one of long questions
and long answers. Usually the ques-
tions have to do with the construc-
ton to be placed upon letters, tele-
to the record.
| Some idea of the latitude given to
Mr.. CLAWS may be gained from the
fact that including the two sessions
today, the printed testimony of this
one witness alone covers nearly one
thousand pages.
Mr.. Vertrees and Mr. CLAWS had
several long wrangles during the at
ternOon session as to the meaning
and intent of many Of the letters and
kilograms in the record. A typical
instance was telegram from Mr..
Ballinger, in reply to message from
Commissioner bennett of the land
Office, in which the secretary stated
his reluctance to act in the Alaskan
cases and suggested that Mr. bennett
as to postponing the hearings.
Mr.. Vertrees sought to show that
this meant that Mr.. Ballinger was
not directing the Alaska cases in any
way whatsoever. Mr.. CLAWS, on the
other hand, insisted that the only
construction he could put upon the
telegram was that it showed that |
none of the officials in the depart !
ment dared do anything in the cases |
without first consulting the secre. !
tary. Mr. CLAWS contended that the !
telegram conveyed specific order by |
Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. Vertrees at the morning ses-
sion drew from the witness the i'm
bingham claims were ordered "Clear
listed" in January, 1908, and in fact |
up to the time that Mr.. Ballinger |
left the service as commissioner of
the land Office March 4, 1908, there
had been no adverse reports on these
claims and that the Cunningham
journal, which contained the first ev.
idence of alleged agreement among
the claimants had not then been dis
covered.
The late afternoon session was de-
voted to inquiry into the motives of
Mr.. CLAWS in seeking the assistance
of Clifford Pinchot. CLAWS said he
went him because he had faith In
him and felt he was absolutely sim
cere. Mr.. Vertrees explained several
of his long questions today by the
statement that he was searching out
the motives of the witness to ascer-
tain whether they were innocent or

SEN. IILLMAN'
CONTINUED from Page H.

ed within the next seventy two hours
The senator's right side is almost
wholly paralyzed and aphasia has
developed as a result of cerebral
hemorrhage on the left side of the
brain. He has nearly lost the power
of articulation and this is regarded
by the doctors as the most serious
symptom of the South Carolinian's
illness. He may recover from the
paralysis, but in all likelihood, it is
said he will never regain the COM
plete use of speech. the senator's
dearest and most cherished weapon
in his house service as national
legislator and the keen edge of which
has enlivened many debates of union
wide interest in congress.
This is the second stroke of paraly-
sis to seize the southern senator, the
first having occurred nearly two
years ago when he suffered ner-
vous breakdown. At that time he
was treated at an Atlanta sanitarium
and took trip later for the benefit
Of his health.
Late this afternoon Dr. VIM. A.
WQlte, superintendent or the gov
eminent hospital for the insane was
called into consultation with DR..
Pickford. While it was asserted that
the senator's mind was fairly alert,
DR.. White as a specialist on disor-
ders of the brain; the seat of Mr..
Tillman's illness; was asked to make
an examination.
The verdict Of the physicians was
that the senator's condition was ser
ious in the extreme, that the out
come was doubtful and that it
would require 70 hours to say wheth.
er the case was hopeless.
The alarm of the family is evidenc-
ed by the fact that they have tele- !
graphed for DR.. J. w. Babcock, Sup !
erintendent of the South Carolina
hospital for the insane, and the FAM
lily physician Of the Tillman's.

INQUIRY RECALLS HISTORY Of
EARLY INDUSTRY Of COUNTY
The "Old Forge" Near Twin Lake Located
IN 1896 With Hope of Making the
Mining of Iron Great Industry
Near Plymouth

Some time ago, Ed. r. Monroe.
county recorder, received a letter
from a man in Boston making in
qulry in regard to THE Croker
family who resided in Marshall
county about the time of, and
for a few years after the organi-
zation of the county. Mr.. Monroe
found that Isaac Crocker had
served by appointments as Re-
corder from September 13, 1888
to November II, 1885, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death
of the Recorder, Evan B. Hob
son. He also found upon inquiry
of many old citizens that he was
probably the father of Charles
and Ed. K. Croker who were
engaged in various kinds of
business and finally established
about that time what was known
as the "Old Iron Forge" near
Twin Lakes in West Township.
The reason of building the Forge
at that place was because there
was found near by large quanti-
ties OF bog iron ore, and it was
thought by the Crockers and
Others associated with them that
there was a mine of wealth in the
enterprise if it could be properly
worked out. But like many an en-
terprise Of that kind it proved
failure, and the Crockers diSpos-
ed of it for a song to Lyman Fl.
Andrews who permitted it to go
into a state of decay, and final
abandonment.

Mcdonald in 1880 and published

primitive enterprise will be of in

VERDICT FOR
DICKSON
RETURNED
DELIBERATED FOR SIX
HOURS ON UNION
DITCH CASE.
Plaintiff Brought Suit to Man.
date Acceptance of Work
Done on Construction

After deilberating for over six
hours, on the case of Platt Dick
son versus County Surveyor
Percy ]. Troyer, to mandate the
acceptance of the c. E. Thorn
burg ditch, the jury returned a
sealed verdict at lis Thursday
morning, finding for the plaintiff,
on his petition for mandate.
The case was the result of the
failure of the county surveyor to
accept the construction OF the
Thornburg ditch, which was
made by contractor Dickson.
The ditch was started while
David VanVactor was county
surveyor, in 1906, and was conn
pleted during the administration
o the present surveyor Z. ].
Troyer. Tlroyer refused to accept
the ditch because of the fact that
no recond had been made of the
proceeding by the preceding sur
veyor, and because of the objec-
tons raised TO the acceptance of
the ditch by parties who were
assessed on its construction.
These parties maintained that the
ditch had not been constructed
according to the original specifi-
cations. Dickson completed the
ditch, and claimed the sum of
$500 for work done ON construc-
ton. The ditch was not accepted
and Dickson failed to receive his
compensation. Accordingly the
friendly suit was instituted
against surveyor Troyer, to de-
termine the legality of construc-
ton. and compel the acceptance
of the ditch. The case was hard
fought, and occupied three days
i nthe Circuit Court. The case
went to jury shortly before 6 O.
clock Wednesday night and that
body was in deliberarlon until
/ Is Thursday morning. The YER
dict was opened and read at con.
vening of court. at 9 O'Clock
Thursday morning.

the year 1886, originally gave
promise of becoming a place of
considerable Importance. Like the
famous Duluth, the sky came
considerable importance. Like
down at equal distances all
around it, and hence it was con-
sidered about as near the center
OF the Universe as it was posi-
BILE to- figure it out. Charles
Crocker, in the early history of
that region was the presiding
genius OF this embryo city, but
the Phylixus OF fortune failed to
bring him the golden fleece, and
about 1850 when the country was
going wild over the discovery of
gold on the Pacific coast, he dis
posed of his interest in the Forge
and sought the golden shores OF
California for the purpoes of re-
plenishing his depleted exc
chequer. The building of the
Union Pacific Railroad was lust
then being contracted for, and
Mr. Crocker, full of life and en-
ergy and business ability, engag-
ed with others in contrasting and
building the Pacific end of the
road How we'll he succeeded, is
shown in the fact that he is this
year (1SS0) assessed for taxable
purposes in San Francisco the
sum of SIS, 100000.
The Forge hammer that could
at one time be heard miles and
miles away, has long since been
removed and the mining and
forging of the very inferior bog
iron ore found in that vicinity
has been abandoned and but lit
tie remains to indicate that such
an enterprise ever existed"
Charles Croker died a score
or more years ago in San Fran
cisco, one of the wealthiest men
ON the Pacific coast.
