Democratic Findings
in Ballinger Case

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Sept 10
THAT Richard A. Ballinger has not
been true to the trust reposed in him
as secretary OF the interior, that he
is not deserving of public confidence
and that he should be asked by the
proper authorities to resign his office"
The foregoing sums up the findings
OF four Democratic members of the
Ballinger-Pinchot congressional inyes-
tieating committee, made public last
evening. An Independent report civ.
en- out by Representative Madison, the
insurgent Republican from Kansas, de-
olares also that Mr. Ballinger: should
not be retained, that he was an un-
faithful trustee of the peoples interest
and an enemy of conservation" and
that the charges OF Clifford Pinchot
should be sustained. These findings
viii be printed and filed with congress.

Here is an Oppor-
tunity for Mediums

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-The fact
that attendants of several spirituallstic
meetings recently asserted they have
received messages from the late Prof
William James OF Harvard, one OF
whose fayorite themes was the posi-
bilities of communication between the
dead and living, has led the Metropol-
itan Psychical society here to pro
pose test as to the validity OF all
such assertions. The society offers
$1,000 to any medium who will obtain
from the spirits Of Prof. James when
II speaks through them, a statement
OF the contents of a certain letter sent
by him few days before his death
to w. s. Davis, the secretary society.
Mr.. Davis has the letter from Prof.
James in his safe. No one else has
seen 1t or received from him any
inklilg of It's contents.
The president OF the psychical so
ciety, making public the prize offer,
makes the following comment on al.
legged messages thus far put forward
by various mediums:
'The great difficulty with all mes
sages which have so far been publish.
ed is that they are vague. indefinite,
trashy. and could have been concocted
by anyone. Such alleged communica.
tions have invariably followed the de
mise of all persons of note In the
spiritualistlc field. but the very sim.
pie test herein proposed would con
siderably narrow the question down
and should easily be within the ca
pability of any person actually in com
munication with the spirit of the late
Prof. James"
