TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. -
T1Srpss Richard A. Ballinser steps

UNLESS Richard A. Balinger steps
down and out Of his own accord or
President Taft, following discussion
of the case at the coming Cabinet re-
union in Washington, takes action, the
worst is yet to come" for the admin
istration in its efforts to throw off the
incubus of Ballinger. The latter is not
expected to resign voluntarily, nor Is
there any strong belief that the prcsi-
dent, in the absence Of Il unanimous
report from the investigating commit
tee against his secretary Of the interior,
will ask for his resignation. As long
rs Balinger is head OF the executive
department which has charge OF the
nations lands, mines and other natu-
raj resources Mr.. Taft will have trouble
to face, for those who are opposed to
his retention and who believe that the
Glayis-Pinchot charges have been sus,
tanned mean to keep up the fight until
they force the appointment OF another
secretary of the interior. -Four demo
cratic members and one republican IN
surgent member of the JOINT congress
sional investigating committee have
signed a report declaring their bcllci
that Secretary BallinScr should be re-
moved. Enough republican regulars
bolted the meeting to bc able to pre-
sent party claim that no quorum was
present. The democrats aud the IN
surgent member, considering that they
have performed their duty in attending
the meeting of the committee on The
date set by Chairman Nelson, have in
timated that they do not consider II
necessary to attend any further meet
ings. The republicans are i'll aquan-

republicans, are anxious to vote III

still After Chanlcr's Fortune.

Paris, Sept. 13.-Mme. Lima Cava-
lieri has not cinchcd her hold on the
fortune Of Robert w. Chanlcr, the New
York millionaire. She admitted rs
much TO representative Of the United
Press, who called on her today at her
apartments in the Rue Mcssinc. All
these statements of the absurdly large
amounts of money | have received
from my husband are mere fiction, y
said the beautiful diva. 1T is true that
a marriage settlement was arranged
and signed before the American con-
sui. but such procedure is the very
commonest over here and is never
looked upon in the light in which it is
viewed by America. Robert realized
this and made no objection to the
compact. 1t is true that some Of the
details of the agreement have never
been settled and my attorneys are at
tending to those"
Cavalieri tactly admitted that there
had been some slight hitch between
herself and her husband over these
matters, but insisted that it was Il
triviality, and had not in way marred
their married bliss. Nine. Cavalier
showed the reporter another loving
cable from her husband today.
Friends Of Chanlcr here, while they
will not be quoted, intimate that in the
hitch over the marriage settlement lies
the secret OF the husbands return to
America They point out that since
his marriage ChanIer has learned that
his wife is quite us good business
woman as singer, and realizes that
he made mistake by putting himself
and his fortune entirely i'll hrr hands.
Asked if she intended returning to
New York at once to contest any action
which might be taken by the members
Of her husbands family against her,
Cavalieri said:
Il have q contract to sing in Boston
in January and have planned to leave
Paris some time in November. 1t is
possible however. that should it become
necessary, | will leave at any early
date.

early settlement of the boiler makers
lockout and the Lancashire cotton
strike were wrecked today by the re-
fusal Of the cotton workers to treat

These developments have not only en-
ragged the cotton manufacturers and the

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Fedcral Judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands today issued nit
timuses for the arrest Of ten Of the

A BLIND partizan republican paper

A BLIND partizan republican paper
published in Baltimore today says:
According to the returns Maine has
been carried by the democrats. That
is, Maine has been locally lost. There
is nothing in the election OF the demo
cratic nominee to use as sign OF the
way the November elections the coun-
try over will 60. The old fetch Of
Vermont and Maine being weather
vancs means nothing at all, as it has
been 50 many times exploded.
Why such talk is reflection upon
the intelligence Of the papers! readers
Every sensible man knows that the
election in Maine yesterday means q
complete rout OF the republicans O
that state, that the effect will be wide
spread and show also whittier we are
drifting.

Murdered at Daughters Eicr.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Sept. 1S.-George
Walker is under arrest today i'll con-
nection with the killing last night OF
his brother John, aged 80, who was
shot through the heart while keeping
a death watch last night over the body
of his daughter. The police are also
looking for Andrew Walker, another
brother. The police hurried to the
Walker home last night in response to a
telephone message that q quarrel was
in progress. When they arrived they
found Walker lying on the floor OF a
room adjoining the room in which lay
the body OF his daughter. 1t was al
first thought that Walker was asleep,
but when he failed to answer the police,
they found he was dead. A 32-caibrc
revolver was found within arms reach.
The clothing about the wound was
powder burned, indicating that the re-
volver with which Walker was slain
was held close to him.

NARROW ESCAPE.

There were several narrow escapes
yesterday from which Quilted the
first four floors OF the iive-story manu-.
featuring plant in Newark, n. j. The
lire is said to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion. Twenty
men on the fourth and fifth floors
found their escape shut off by the
dense smoke that poured up through
the building. One of them who
jumped into a life net, was injured by
Il rebound to the sidewalk and the
others refused TO risk the Jump. Close
to the building, however, was a ma
chine used by an artesian we'll digger.
Nine of the men managed to reach a
rope OF the machine and down this
they slid to the ground, one after an
other, practically unhurt. The others
we're rescued by means Of extension
ladders. The loss is estimated at about
800, 900.

Yesterday, while anticipated i'll 4

had been expected. A dchocrat has
been elected governor Of u state hereto
fore regarded as rock-ribbcd republic
can stronghold, and the party has
elected three of the four congressman,
with fair prospect OF selecting the

ate the work of the party guilty OF SO

Much interest is being shown over
the meeting Of the state democratic
executive committee in Richmond this
evening. The meeting is called nsten-
sibly for the purpose Of aiding the can
lidates in the doubtful" districts, but
it is obvious that the Maynard Young
controversy from the Second district
will be the main issue OF the session.

Iorsed the position OF Col. J. f. West,
o. Suffolk, and DR.. f. S. Hope, of

ton was a part, failed of passage at
Saturdays massmceting.

intense was the heat that the big bell,
one OF the loudest and finest toned in
Morrison's Cove, was melted. A dozen
COWS in various sections OF the valley

SENATOR MARTIN IN NORFOLK,

Never before in the history Of Nor
folk was there more remarkable or
dramatic political meeting then that
of democrats in revolt against machine
politics held in the Academy OF Music
IN that city last night. Packed in the
academy were more than 1000 OF the
best citizens of the city.
1t was anything but meeting
friendly to Senator Martin and it was
not expected that the senator, who
happened to be in the city, would
appear, but having been arraigned by
Attorney o. l.. Shackelford, who
hoped that he was in the audience,
one OF the senator's friends, Capt. j.
d. McCarrirk, went to his hotel and
brought him to the theatre.
The reception received by the
senator was not hattering. He was
kept waiting 10 minutes before those
who were in charge OF the meeting
would invite him on the stage and
consent to let him speak. One of the
speakers on the programme made way
for him. He was received with mingled
applause and misses, and in the prog
ress OF characteristic speech was
applauded for his witticisms, but when
he lauded the state democratic central
committee he was Missed outright by
hundreds, and the Kisses were not
MINGLED with annlause
Visibly embarrassed, he concluded
his remarks within two minutes.
Senator Martin denied that he was
boss or had ever influenced the actions
OF the state central committee, but
gave assurance that the investigation Of
the democratic primary, which was the
primary denard Of the democratic in
surgents. should be had.
In marked contrast with the reception
accorded Senator Martin was the out
burst which greeted Tho mention OF the
name OF William 4. Jones, now repre-
Scnling lh" FIRST district in Congress
and who has been banned for the
| United States Senate to succeed Senator
Martin when he comes up for reelection
next year. Following tlIr speech OF
The senator, other speakers continued
to inv"igh against the regular demo-
cratic organization in the state and one
of them, Marshall K. Peterson, referred

visibIy disturbed
In all his long life as the main figure
in Virginia politics, Senator Martin for
the first time found himself face to face
with body OF men who cared not for
his uttcranrcs, and who did not hesitate
to tell him so. But he was apparently
The coolest man in the crowded theatre
and when the storm had passed he
brought the men who had decricd him
to their feet cheering by declaring that
he stood not only for n full Investigation
of the primary by the State committee,
but that he thoughs, the charges OF fraud
that had been made were of sufficient
gravity to warrant the attention Of the
grand jury.
