icy"-Head of Interior Department
Held to Be Competent and Honor
able in Discharge of Duties.
Washington, Dec. 8.-Vindicating
Secretary of the interior Ballinger up
on all the charges brought against him
and condemning his accusers as hav-
ing been inspired by deep feeling of
animosity built upon supposed diff
ference in policy respecting conserva-
ton, majority of the congressional
committee which investigated the so
called Ballinger-Pinchot case submit
ted it's report to congress.
After stating that the evidence pre-
sented related in the main to charges
of various kinds against Mr.. Ballinger
and that these came chiefly from 20
sources-L. r. CLAWS and Clifford Pin
chot-the majority announced the fol-
lowing conclusions:
THE evidence has wholly failed to
make out a case Neither any fact
proved nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr. Ballinger as being any
thing but competent and honorable
gentleman, honestly and faithfully
performing the duties of his high Of
flee with an eye to the public interest. y
The report was signed by Senators
Knute Nelson, chairman; Frank p.
Flint, George Sutherland and Elihu
Root, and Representatives Samuel w.
Mccall of Massachusetts, vice chair
man; Martin e. Olmstead of Pennsyl.
vania and Edwin DENLY OF Michigan,
all Republicans.
Report of the Minority.
few months ago the Democratic
members, Senators ID. e. Fletcher and
William e. Purcell and Represents
tives Ollie NJ. James of Kentucky and
James M. Graham of Illinois, together
with Representative Edmond II. Madi.
son of Kansas, progressive Republic.
an, put out another report which they
maintained to be the majority opinion
condemning the conduct of Mr.. Bal
linger as secretary of the Interior
The report was made public follow
ing a meeting of the committee in
Minneapolis last September which was
not attended by some of the Repub
licans who now have exonerated Mr.
Ballinger and therefore the natural
minority became a majority and the
Republicans who were present, with
the exception of Mr.. Madison, with
drew and broke the quorum.
In speaking of the 'animosity'' ere
ated by differences respecting the con
servation of natural resources the ma
jority of the committee said that the
accusers evidently had this policy
deeply at heart and were evidently
disposed to take most unfavorable
view of the character and motives Oi
any one whom they supposed to be
opposed to their views. They thus
came to regard Mr. Ballinger with
suspicion and to regard the most nat
ural and innocent acts occurring ir
the ordinary course Of department ad
ministration as furnishing evidence Of
some sinister purpose"
Majority's Specific Findings.
The report makes the following
specific findings:
THAT tie charges and insinuationl
against Secretary Ballinger in regard
to the Cunningham coal land entries
or other coal land claims in Alasks
are not justified and his conduct IL
respect thereto is not justly censur
able:

RAINING CATS M DOGS.
Various Explanations Of the Origin Of
This Exprossion.

Various Explanations Of the Origin Of
This Expression.
Many explanations have been given
Of the origin Of the expression training
cats and dogs" One Is that it is a per.
version Of the French "catadoupe," a
waterfall-"it Is raining a catalogues"
or cataracts. Another explanation is
that the male blossoms Of the willow
tree, which are used on Palm Sunday
to represent the branches Of palm.
were called "cats and dogs" in some
parts Of England, where they increase
rapidly after a few warm April show
ers. and the belief prevailed that the
rain brought them.
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology, in which the cat Is said to
have great influence on the weather,
and sailors still have a saying, "The
cat has a gale Of wind in her tail,''
when she is unusually frisky. Witches
that rode upon the storms were said
to assume the form of cats, and the
stormy northwest wind is called "the
cats nose" in the Harz mountains
even at the present day. Then the dog
is a symbol Of wind, which in old Ger
pictures is figured as the head Of
a dog or wolf from which blasts issue.
The cat therefore symbolizes a down
pour of rain; the dog, strong gusts Of
wind, which accompany it, and so a
rain "of cats and dogs" is a heavy rain
with wind.

A NlGERIAN LEGEND.

It Tells Of the Origin Of Mans Sub
lection to Women.
There Is a quaint old Nigerian legend
that relates the origin of mans SUBJ
lection to women.
At the beginning Of things, the le-
gend runs, the world was peopled by
women only. One day the earth god.
Awbassi Mai, happened by accident to
kill a woman. On hearing this the rest
gathered together and prayed that, If
he meant to slay them, he would bring
destruction on all together rather than
kill them n by one.
Awbassi was sorry for the grief he
had caused and offered as compensa-
ton to give them anything they should
choose out of all his possessions. They
begged him to mention what he had to
give and said that they would all cry
Eyes" when he named the thing they
wished to have.
Awbassi mentioned one by one all
his fruits, fowls and beasts, but at
each they shouted "No." At length
the list was nearly ended-only one
thing remained to offer.
"Will you, then. take man?' asked
Awbassi at last. Eyes" they roared
in a great shout, and, catching hold Of
one another, danced for Joy at the
thought Of the gift Awbassi was send
ing.
Thus men became the servants Of
women and have to work for them to
