BALLINGER'S
TESTIMONY
DRAWS MANY

Washington, April SO. Deepening in
teFest was taken today in the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot investigation owing to the
vigorous testimony Of Secretary Of the
Interior Ballinger yesterday, when the
cabinet member, with all the force and
emphasis of Colonel Roosevelt In the
use of the shorter and uglier word, !"
hurled the lie into the face Of L. r..
CLAWS, one Of his accusers.
When Mr.. Ballinger appeared before
the committee this morning every seat
was taken. Many persons were turned
| away at the door when the room was
filed. There was an appearance Of
great expectancy in the crowd. as
though there were hopes of repeti-
tion of yesterdays tableau.
One after the other Secretary Ballin-
ger took up the various issues raised
In the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy
and explained his side of the dispute.
Referring to the free hand given to
L. X. CLAWS to investigate thoroughly
the Alaskan coal cases and make good
his charges against the Cunningham
claimants, Secretary BaIlinger yester-
day said CLAWS had never been inter
fered with In any way.
CLAWS was never hampered, but
was pampered all the way through y
he added.
Mr.. Ballinger explained his views as
to the best way of handling coal lands
by referring to a memoranda on that
question which he prepared at the re-
quest of President Roosevelt
when the president read It." said
the witness, ''he said to me, When
Garfield and Pinchot see that they'll
60 up through the roof, but guess the
roof is strong enough to hold them.'"
Mr.. Ballinger raised an issue of ve-
racity between former Secretary Gar
field and himself on Mr. Garfield's tes-
timony that he did not favor the Gale
bill, which embodied the Balllnger
plan of selling coal lands instead of
leasing them and that he had not au-
thorized Mr.. Ballinger's appearance
before a committee Of congress in sup
port of the bill.
Mr.. Ballinger said that Mr.. Garfield,
as shown by documentary evidence,
had known all about the Gale bill, had
approved it tacitly If not directly and
had known that he (Ballinger) was to
appear before the committee in sup
port of the measure and had inter-
posed no objection whatever.

Two Sabbath Incidents.
Golden Text will have mercy
and not sacrifice. Matt. xii:1
Verses !, 2.-Why is 1t either
right or wrong to walk or drive, for
pleasure, on the Sabbath day?
Was there any Jewish lawwhich
would Justify the disciples in pluck
ing the ears of another mans wheat
on the Sabbath day? (See Deut.
xxiii:25)
See Elk. xx:10, and say whether the
law for the Sabbath there given, for
bids, absolutely, all manner OF work
or whether under 1t, works of neces-
sity and of mercy would be allow
able?
How do you account for the fact
that the Pharisees, the religions
teachers of that day, had such mar
row views of the Sabbath and were
SO critical with Jesus?
III Jesus were to come to this conn
try incognitO, and preach and teach
in our towns and cities, without any
church authority, how would he be
received by the clergy and the
churches?. (This question must be
answered in writing by members OF
the club.)
Verses 3-5.-What defense did Je-
sus make when they accused him of
allowing his disciples to break the
Sabbath?
Look up Sam. xxi 1-6; also Lev.
XIV; 5-S. and say what bearing this
reference of Jesus has upon the case
in dispute?
What reason is there to believe
that God never intended the Sabbath
TO be kept, in such narrow way. as
the Pharisees in those days taught ?
(See Mark ii:23 to iii:6.)
Give an example of how it is pos
sible to keep the letter of the Sab
bath law and violate its spirit, and
to break the letter and preserve its
| spirit?

GETS
BIG LONDON
QUARTETTE

One of the biggest and best vaude-
vile shows ever presented before the
theatre-goers of this city, is promised
for next week at the Biiou theatre. The
management has spared no pains to
bring the best possible collection of
performers here that can be secured for
a house of this calibre.
Headed by the famous London quar-
tette, the show is, theatrically speak
ing, 'abig. The acts have been care
fully chosen at the New York office, and
in the midst of the choosers, they are
great and the show, as a whole, should
make decided hit. There are ten
big and varied acts for next week that
take in twenty high class performers.
The London quartette should make
one of the greatest hits Of the season.
1t will be but their second engagement
since landing in America and conse-
quently their entertainment should be
valued stock.
Another big and interesting feature
for the early part of the week is Henry
Bookes, character comedian. Fifteen
minutes Of refined singing and talking,
makes this act highly entertaining
one. He makes several complete
changes in full view of the audience
consequently styling himself as "The
Boy Behind the Suit Case A highly
pleasing act, is offered by the Ander-
son sisters, who come here direct from
the Orpheum Circuit. These pretty
girls will mystify the audience and
keep them guessing for the fifteen min
utes they appear.
Cole and Bennett, who do a little
singing, dancing and talking, viii surely
please. Rodman, comedy wire artist
is feature by himself and his act
needs be seen to be appreciated.
A carefully selected variety of mo
tion pictures concludes this most excel
lent bill.

Bible Study Club


Verses 6-S.-What is the only
law of God that must be kept, with
out any exception, by all men and
angels?
What attitude should we always
take toward those who do things Of
which we cannot approve?
Did Jesus have any rights, in re-
gard to Sabbath observance, not pos
sessed by other good men?
What did Jesus mean by saying
he was the Lord of the Sabbath?
Is every good man lord of the Sab
bath In the sense that he has a right
to keep it. in any way that God may
direct him7
Verses s-10.-Is it legitimate to
do all kinds of good on the Sabbath
day, or is there a limit?
We say that these Pharisees were
Jealous of Jesus and therefore
sought occasion to accuse him. Now
what is Jealousy? What prompts tt?
What are it's effects?
Verses 11-12.-What reason can
you give as to whether persons who
are compelled to work on the Sab
bath, on the rule Jesus here sug-
c~f ~ NhNOA Obll6dllOu 10 rest
some other day?
How much is man better than
a sheep?"
Jesus says ut is lawful to do well
on the Sabbath day." but what rea-
son is there to believe that every
man is under obligation to actually
do some specific good on each Sab
bath day?
Verse 1S.-How can you demon
strate that obedience to God always
results in supply of our needs?
Does God propose in these DAYS
that our bodily diseases should be
cured miraculously, as in this case?
Verse 14.-Was it the goodness.
or the popularity Of Jesus, or both.
which inspired the hatred Of these
jews, and does the same law operate
today?

CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL


WRECKED ON SHORES OF TIME.
A remarkable Interpretation of
world history has been recently Civ
en- to the .=sblic Prof I. G. Hall, in
his recent book, Social Solutions"
thus writes: "If we came to an
island where twenty men had been
wrecked before us, and had divided
up the island and annexed the food
supply, and owned also the guns and
the powder factory, the wood supply
for making boats, etc, We could only
live on the island and work for the
twenty men on wages. When we
shot game with their guns they could
make us pay not only for the powder
but for the use of the guns, and also
rent for our shelter, and we would
be at their mercy. Whatever we had
over from our work and hunting,
after eating enough to work and
hunt some more, the twenty men
could demand of us as rent and in
terest. In point of fact this Is what
happens. Thousands of babies are
wrecked on the shores of this island
in Gods universe which we call
Earth, and we who have been here
before have mainly annexed the
food-supplying and clothing machin-
cry as our private property, and as
these babies grow up they must pay
us rent and Interest, and what that
rent and interest is depends a good
deal on their necessity"
1t Is said by close observers that
we are fast drifting toward social
ism. This is not to be feared, unless
we mean by socialism anarchy, The
socialism to be avoided and feared
is that which says, All thine is mine;
over against which my well be placed
Christian socialism that says, All
mine is thine. The Kingdom of
Heaven is state of society in which
the Golden Rule Is the guiding prin-
ciple. 1t is a kingdom, in that the
will of the king is imposed upon all !;
1t is democracy, in that the people
voluntarily will adopt and be ruled
by the kings expressed will. 1t will
then be impossible that any such de-
scription of the world as given by
Prof. Hall may be made. God, the
King, will be the owner; we shall be
but stewards, and hand down the
principal, increased by the interest,
to succeeding generations.
But this is impossible, some will
say. 1t has been pointed out that
while our personal ethics are Chris
tian, our business ethics are Greek;
for which reason it has been sup
posed that Christ's teachings are too
ideal, too impossible, for application
in commercial and political life. But
it is being more and more clearly
perceived that our only safety is in
the full adoption and application of
Christs teachings in all relations in
life. So only is it possible to ap-
proach the noblest and highest ideals
known unto mankind.

CHILD'S FATAL PLUNGE.
Little Girl Falls Over Balcony of New
York Theater.

Little Girl Falls Over Balcony of New
York Theater.
New York, April 30.-A shrek OF
anguish from the top balcony Of the
Lincoln Square theater startled the
audience last night and as hundreds
of men, women and children glanced
up TO learn the cause they saw a girl
plunge into the orchestra pit She was
Louise Loeff1er, aged fourteen, of 1O5
West Sixtieth street. Her heel had
caught on a step, and as she raced
down the other sixteen steps in an eff.
fort to regain her equilibrium she
struck the brass rail at the bottom,
which snapped like glass, and she
plunged over the edge.
A compound fracture Of the skull
and internal injuries were caused by
the fall, and she is dying in the Flower
hospital.
As the cry Of the girl filed the thea.
ter song and dance team on the stage
stood transfixed. And when the figure
In white landed In the center aisle OF
the orchestra there were indications Of
q panic in the audience.

completed, and the village of Keas-
