WASHINGTON NOTES.

One OF the most terrific struggles In
the history OF the house Of represents
tives Is now in progress. The ques.
ton is as to whether one man shall
be the ezar Of the house or whether
the representatives OF the people shall
represent the people and rule the
house. The democrats and insurgents
have driven the standpatters to bay,
but the issue of the contest is not
yet decided There may be reereant
republicans enough 10 change the for
tunes of the fight
0klahoma's three republicans are
holding up the hands oi Uncle Joe
and misrepresenting their constitu-
ents. Cannon is the enemy OF pro-
gress. the enemy of labor, the enemy
of good government and the tool of
the whiskey trust. Oklahoma's three
republican representatives are his
tools and slaves. A mattress com
pany has already been organized to
manufacture moss mattresses from
the moss growing on the backs Of Nc

as to whether he was a progressive or

however, he assumes lot more eour.
age and talks in a heap big standpat
fashion. He stated in an interview
in the Washington Post that no anti
Cannon man could be nominated and
elected in Oklahoma. He also went
out Of his way to misrepresent and
malign the state, its institutions and
It's laws, misrepresenting both the
constitution of the state and the sys.

is here, it is believed, lining up the

engagements IN the United States
early In May"
The only address Mr. Pinchot left
behind him at his Washington resi-.
dence was Copenhagen, and large
number of letters and kilograms are
being forwarded to him there, in care
of his sister. Mr. Pinchot's mother
accompanied him 10 New York, but
remained there at the home of her
other son. Amos r. Pinchot His sec.
retary remained behind. lie also de-
elared Mr.. Pinehot was simply going
abroad for rest. He said Mr. Pinchot
was expected back about April 20, in
which event the meeting would have
TO take place before Mr.. Roosevelt
reached London, as he is not due there
before May 10.
Mr.. CLAWS, the former chief field
agent Of the general land Office, who
has been closely associated with PIN
chot in the fight against Secretary
Balllnger, said tonight that he was
surprised to learn that Mr.. Pinchot
had gone abroad and knew nothing OF
his plans. Equally reticent is Charles
w. Pepper Pinchot's lawyer, now in
Philadelphia. Nevertheless, it is ac-
cepted here as a fact that Mr.. Pin
chot is going to Europe to meet Mr.
Roosevelt, although details Of the ar
rangements for the meeting are still
obscured.
In Roosevelt's administration no one
was a more welcome visitor to the
white house than Clifford Pinehot Pin
chot was the synonym for President
Roosevelt's last word in conservation.
When Mr. Roosevelt retired he com.
mended Pinchot highly to President
Taft and it was not until the ex-
President had entered the iungles that
evidences OF discord between Secre-
tary Ballinger and Forester Pinchot
came publicly to the surface.
OF the controversy which ensued,
causing the president much embar-
rasment and engendering increasing
bitterness between the rival factions,
MIR. Roosevelt probably knew little or
nothing until he reached Khartum,
Egypt, Monday Of last week.
There he doubtless learned from
American newspaper correspondents
who awaited him that his friend had
been ousted from the government
service, and of the investigation which
has followed Mr. Roosevelt ALSO
found awaiting him. the rumor has itl

Washington, d. c., Mar. 23.--Wash.
ington woke up 20 the fact Tuesday
that Clifford i'!nchot. whom President
Taft recently caused to be depoaed
from the position of chief forester, Of
the United States, was on the oceah
already four days out, on the steamer
President Grant He is on the way to
meet ex-Presidens Theodore Roose-
yelt Mr.. Pinehot is due at Hamburg
Monday; Colonel Roosevelt Is to ar
rive at Naples on the following Sat
urday. 1t is the impression, general
ly accepted, that Mr. Roosevelt eab!ed
for Mr.. Pinehot.
The widely current rumor here is
that Mr.. Pinchot goes TO meet the re-
turning traveller in compliance with a
summons received by cable Friday
Nobody in a position to know would
either confirm or deny this part Of the
story; there is no disposition to deny
that Mr.. Pinehot's principal errand
abroad is to meet Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t Is to be taken for granted that
the ex-President will receive from the
deposed chief forester, with whom he
was on close terms, his first direct In
formation bearing on the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy from any Of the
principals in that dispute 1t was
rumored here today that Senator Root
a member of the investigating com
mittee, and Secretary of State in the
Roosevelt cabinet had written TO Mr..
Roosevelt at Khartum on the subject,
Senator Root would not talk about
tn, matter and no confirmation of the
rnmor was obtainable from any source
IN it were true, it might afford at
least partial reason for the sup
posed cablegram from Mr.. Roosevelt
to Mr.. Pinehot

which he Is so deeply concerned, on
the eve Of Secretary Ballinger's going
on the stand in order 10 seek, unin-
vlted, an interview with the ex-Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Pinchot left Washington Friday
night and next day sailed from New
York for Europe. His absence on Sat
urday from the Ballinger-Pinchot
hearing, at which he has been con-
slant attendant, attracted little atten-
ton, though he had not intimated to
his associates there that he intended
to go away for a long trip.
Thomas R. Shipp, secretary OF the
National Conservation association, OF
which Mr.. Pinchot is president, said
today that the former forester had
gone to Europe for a much needed
vacation" lie said Mr.. Pinehots side
Of the case had practically all been
presented, and he felt It was an op-
perfume time for him to go away He
admitted Mr.. Pinchot had made up his
mind about the trip rather suddenly,
but he said he knew nothing Of the
reported RooseveltPinehot meeting.
He did not attempt TO deny that Mr.,
Pinehot might see his former chief
before he returned to the United
States. Later dr. Ship issued the
following formal statement:
"Mr. Pinchot sailed for Europe on
