Given Five Hours in Which to Sum
Up Before the Committee-Briefs
Will Be Submitted Later, but There
is No Indication When a Verdict
May Be Expected.
Washington, May 21.-The investi-
cation of the Ballinger-Pinchot con
troyersy was brought to a close so far
as the introduction of oral testimony
is concerned and the case was set for
argument next Friday and Saturday.
Within fifteen days after the argument
counsel will submit brief and the COM
mittee will then begin consideration
of the evidence looking to final de.
cision
There is no indication as to when a
verdict in the case may be expected
but it is general assumed that the
committee will spend several weeks
on the record before reaching a de
cision and it is intimated that the
committee may not be ready to report
until the next session of congress. The
record comprises over 5000 printed
pages.
In fixing the date for argument and
other matters incidental to the clos
ing of the case the committee was
unanimous for the first time since the
inquiry began.
Attorney Vertrees, for Secretary Bal
linger, informed the committee that he
did not care to present any argument,
as he did not regard it as essential,
but members of the committee stated
that they regarded argument by coun.
sci as important and Mr.. Vertrees ac.
uuiesced. Five hours will be occupied
by each side. Mr.. Brandeis, represent
ing l.. r. CLAWS, and Mr.. Pepper, rep
resenting Forester Clifford Pinchot
will open on Friday, occupying the
major portion of their time. Mr.. Yer
trees will follow on Saturday for Sec
retary Ballinger and Mr.. Brandeis and
Mr.. Pepper will then close briefly.
Mr.. Vertrees made the statement
that if he argued the case he did not
want to speak to empty chairs, say
ing that he anticipated that members
of the committee would be prone tc
duck" the speechmaking.
81 can imagine we will be talking tc
the chairman and table surrounded
by empty chairs he said.
OImsted Fears Dry Speech.
"You must expect to make very
dry speech" observed Representative
Olmsted.
Counsel for Pinchot reserved the
right to offer some documentary evi
dence relative to the charge made by
Secretary Ballinger that the forestry
bureau had wasted over 100000 IL
administering the Menominee lndiaI
reservation in Wisconsin and othel

The Current Gold Initiation

There must always he Il money basis
for credit and the larger the basis the
larger the credit structure possible.
While it is true that the credit struc-
ture may temporarily expand beyond
its normal ratio to the money basis on
whichsit rests. yet even this abnormal
expansion of deposits is always inaugur-
ated by an expansion of money. 1t is
probable that deposits i'll general are
now expanding more rapidly than their
money basis. But the source of this de-
post initiation is money initiation, and
the source of money initiation is gold in
tiation. We must give up our blind
faith in the stability of gold. While
experience has given us all keen sense
of paper imitation, this very fact has led
to over confidence in gold. We stoutly
cling to the delusion that nothing else
is as solid as gold, while under our very
eyes the cyanide process of extracting
gold from low grade ores as well as the
new discoveries of gold and their con-
tinued exploitation produce deprecia-
ton we are unwilling to recognize.
The statistics for the last few years
have shown remarkable increase in
the output of gold and one which re-
resembles the increase after the gold
discoveries in the forties. Prices rise
now as they did then and for the same
reasOns.-Review of Reviews.

A Few Facts.

The mines Of the United States last
year produced $50, 600, 600, 900 in miner
ais and metals. Twenty copper mines
paid last year in dividends more than
500, 100000. Fifteen of these have re-
turned total dividends in excess of their
capitalization. The twenty have paid
in dividnds since incorporation the
stupendous sum of 1894, 297, 1856.
Sixty-six old-silver-lead properties in
the United States paid dividends in 1909
amounting to more than Sic, 600. 900 and
1892, 412, 1O3 since incorporation. Of
these. twenty have paid back more than
their capitalization.
The price af copper silver and lead
promise to be higher this year than
they were last.
The dividend declarations by mining
companies in January exceeded those
ever made before in the same month in
history of the industry.

Vanished Mountains

1t has been observed that in the
neighborhood of great ranges of mount
aims the force of gravity is slighter than
elsewhere, and the explanation is that
the earth's crust is thinner beneath the
places where it has heaved up. Assum-
ing this to be general law, one author
ity points out that it is possible to find
where ancient mountains now worn
away and leveled by the action of the
elements once existed because the
density of the underlying rocks has not
changed. France, it is thought posses
ses one of these vanished mountain
ranges, running along parallel to the
Bordeaux, for on that line there is less
ening of the force of gravity. A SINH
lar phenomenon occurs on the plain of
southern Russia.-Harpers Weekly.

Interest Paid By Cities

A recent bulletin from the census
bureau says
The rate of interest paid by cities ON
their Understanding debt ut the close
of the fiscal year 1907, depended largely
upon geographic location, the cities in
the west and south paying on the
average higher rate of interest than
those i'll the northeastern section of the
country, according to the U. S. Census
Bureaus forthcoming report OH the
statistics of the 15S cities in the United
States which had u population of over
10000 each ut the time mentioned.
The highest average interest rates
were: In cities of over 300, 900 popula-
ton, Al per cent in Chicago. Cleveland,
Milwaukee and New Orleans; i'm cities
of from 100000 to 100000 population,
"a per cent in Denver; in cities of from
$4,000 to 100000 population, 90 per
cent i'll Tacoma, Wash; in cities of
from 30. 600 to so, 900 population. SO per
cent in Birmingham, Ala.
The corresponding lowest rates were
3.2 per cent i'll Washington 8.6 per cent
III Providence, 3.6 per cent in Hartford,
and 3.6 percent in Binghamton and
Elmira, New York. The unusually low
rate in Washington was due to large
amount of temporary loans bearing
only 2 per cent interest. The interest
rate on the funded debt of that city
was 3.6 per cent. Of the cities of over
5000 population. Philadelphia paid
the lowest average rate on its funded

there Is bread -four and a some
"nat more starchy and less glutinous
pastry flour. BE sure to buy the
bread flour. You may distinguish 1t
Doth by Its slightly yellowish appear
ance, and by its granular, rather than
powdery feel. Then, too, 1t does not
cake when squeezed In the hand, as
does the pastry -four.
Many excellent compressed yeasts
can now be had, and it Is perhaps not
worth while for a woman who can get
1t fresh to make her own. You will
require one pint of scalded milk, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoon
hi of salt, one-third cake of com.
pressed yeast, and, OF course, enough
-four to make a stiff dough. Be sure
to measure the milk after 1t has been
scalded. =
Put the sugar, salt and scalded
milk into large mixing bowl or
bread pan, sir until the sugar is dis
solved and the milk lukewarm; then
add the yeast, which has previously
been softened in n little water. Final
ly, stir in the -four until you have a
doughg stiff enough 10 fold easily.
nr,l,I
give 1t shape. as well as to more thor
oughly mix tie ingredients, and then
set 1t to rise IN u room Of 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. Cover II closely with an
old tablecloth. that the top may not
dry out. and leave IL I'm peace for
eight hours. Most people like to put
their bread to rise over night, mixing
1t late in the evening and baking It
the first thing in the morning. Or one
can mix II I'm the morning and bake It
just before dinner.
If It has not risen sufficiently in the
allotted time 1t is a sign that the room
was not warm enough during some
portion Of the time of rising. On the
other hand, too warm a room or too
long period Of rising will sour the
dough. The proper amount OF rise is
just double the original bulk.
Before baking, knead the dough for
five minutes on n bread board, to dis
tribute the large bubbles and so make
the bread finer grained. Mixing
knives are now more generally used
than ones fists for this operation.
Lastly, shape II into loaf by doubling
the edges under again and again until
you have a smooth, oblong mound,
place It in an oiled baking pan, let 1t
rise quickly in warm place until It
again doubles itself, and bake In an
oven which is hot at first, but which
gradually decreases in temperature,
for an hour and quarter.
The recipe I have given is for one
very large loaf. 1t Is easy enough to
double or treble II if you want to
bake more at one time. .
The kneading should be done very
gently. II you knead 1t too hard, the
bread will be heavy.-Boston Herald.
