With the installation of the new re-
gime in governmental affairs in New
York City. for the first time in six
years the chief offices of the municipal

Tammany Hall organization.
The joint committee of Congress,
composed of six Senators and six Rep
resentatives, created to investigate the
official acts of Messrs. Ballinger and
Pinchot, began its sessions. Lewis +.
CLAWS, special agent. was the first wit
ness to be examined. His testimony
raised a question of professional eth
les on the part of Ballinger rather than
of official misconduct, the point being
that Ballinger. before becoming land
commissioner, had drawn up an agree
ment designed to convey the rights of
dummy entrants on certain public
lands in Washington to the Wilson
Coal Company. AT this point CLAWS
was asked by one member of the COM
mittee to state what he intended to
prove against Ballinger. Thereupon
Lewis G.. Brandies OF Boston, appear
ing as counsel for CLAWS. said that his
client was ayerse to formulating a spe-
cific charge and felt that this should
be left to the committee after hearing

by CLAWS with the President

words which Ex-Governor Lind penned
in reply to urgent requests that he
again enter the gubernatoriaI race in
Minnesota.
on the eve of the congressional in
vestigation into his official record, Sec
rotary Ballinger found occasion to get
in a sharp thrust at his adversary, Pin
Government Club of Williams College.
Although no names were mentioned, it
was easy to see that Pinchot and
Roosevelt were the main targets of his
remarks.

unusual at this, between-seasons pc
riod, but in several quarters there is
a greater disposition to act conserva-
lively in the matter of purchases. For
one thing, the agitation for lower
prices tends to the belief that quota
tions may recede to more attractive
levels, and at the same time some
large interests seem to fear inimical
action from the Federal authorities at
Washington. These factors, together
with the marked weakness in the
country's leading stock market and
the natural tendency ofstrade to mark
time at this season of the year, tend
to quieting of the current of trade.

ENFoRcEs SUICIDE AGREEMENT.
Letter Carrier shoots spouse and Her
Father and Then Kills Himself.

Six years ago. when they were mar
ried, Sandie Morrison, an Omaha let
ter carrier, and Miss Hattie Sumner
entered into suicide agreement. Ere
quently since then Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
rison have talked of suicide and
agreed that one could not live without
the other Last Saturday, when Nor
rison came home from his work. he
remarked: Hattie, have decided
that we are to CO." The wife begged
for delay. He attacked her with a
knife. wounding her on the neck. Es-
Gaping, she ran away and sought safe
ty with her parents. A few days later
Morrison held a conference with his
wife and her father, j. II. Sumner. He
appeared rational. She plainly told
him that she had changed her mind.
Morrison then urged his wife and her
father to accompany him to the office
of justice, where. he said, he wanted
to deed over his property. AS the
three reached the street he pulled a
revolver and shot his wife in the back
of the head and Sumner in the right
eye. AS the two fell to the sidewalk
he turned the gun upon himself and
sent a bullet in his forehead, dying
instantly. Mrs. Morrison may recover,
but Sumner will die.

DIE IN MEXICAN MINE.
Explosion in Coal Shaft Is Third
Disaster in Three DAYS.

Explosion in Coal Shaft Is Third
Disaster in Three Days
One hundred are dead in the Paula
mine in Mexico across from Eagle
Pass, Texas, in the state of Coahuila.
as a result of the carelessness of a
Mexican in lighting cigarette. Sixty
eight bodies have been taken from the
shaft. The others are buried further
in. There is no hope that any will be
found alive. Not single man in the
mine escaped alive. One man was
brought to the surface in a conscious
condition, but died shortly thereafter.
He told of the circumstances of the
explosion. Smoking in the mine is pro-
hibittd. 1t seems as if a new miner,
not understanding the danger, SNUG
gled tobacco and matches into the
shaft when he went to work, and the
miners had been at work merry an
hour when he struck match to light
a cigarette. Immediately the explo-
sion followed, burying alive the 100
men.
Frantic efforts were made by the
mine superintendent to rescue the men,
but the shaft was so filed that it took
hours of work to reach the chamber
where the men were confined. The ex-
plosion must have been terrific, as the
entire interior of the mine was badly
wrecked

CHICAGO.

The Weekly Review of Chicago
Trade, published by r. G. Dun & Co.,
says:
The course Of business generally re-
fleets steadiness in operations and a
satisfactory accumulation of new de-
mands in the prominent industries.
Bank statements this week impart
strength to he general situation by
their exhibit of gains in both deposits
and discounts and the evidence of am
pie resources to meet needs of an ex-
banding activity With the liquida-
ton in securities the direction of the
money market is easier and reduced
cost of borrowing will promote wider
effort in manufacturing and new en-
ter3rises.
Movements of commodities again
approach normal proportions and
transportation returns disclose sus-
tanned gains in gross earnings, indi-
eating that recovery from recent adj
verse conditions permits satisfactory
running of the Chicago roads. The
more seasonable weather has brought
better buying in the leading retail
lines here and at the interior. Win
ter stocks of general merchandise have
undergone adequate reduction and this
favorable factor encourages increasing
number of visiting buyers to attend
the wholesale markets. Higher prices
for some staples occasion little objec-
ton. their scarcity being apparent.
