VOTE AGAINST BALLINGER
CAUSES QUEER MIX-UP
Some Members Claim Verdict ls Bind
ing on Committee, But Rep. Madi-
son Does Not Think so.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 8.-Con-
domination of the course OF Richard A.
Ballinger In the administration OF the
department of the interior, of which
he is secretary, and a declaration
that he should no longer be retained
in that office, are contained in a reso-
luton adopted yesterday by five mem.
bers of the congressional committee
which has been investigating the Bal.
linger-Pinchot controversy. These
five, four Democrats and one Repub-
lican, declare their vote is binding
the committee as a whole. This
however, is disputed by the other
three members OF the committee who
were present yesterday.
Only five of the twelve members OF
the committee voted for the adoption
of the resolution, which was offered
by Rep. +. II. Madison, OF Kansas, an
insurgent Republican, as a substitute
for the one previously presented by
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher, Demo
crat, OF Florida. Consequently, the
question has arisen as to what &C
ton, II any, the full committee, when
Il Is present, will take later.
Reps. James and Graham, and other
Democrat members, maintain that a
quorum was present despite the fact
that Chairman Nelson, Republican
had stated in the meeting that there
was no quorum. During the session
no member had raised the point OF no
quorum and Mr.. James contends that
the adoption of the resolutions has
the effect Of expressing the views OF
a majority.
When the committee met there were
eight members present, constituting a
quorum, but before the voting on the
Madison resolution was reached Sena
tor George Sutherland, Republican. OF
Utah, and Rep. Samuel w. Mccall,
Republican, Massachusetts. withdrew.
Mr.. Nelson remained, but took no
part in the voting.
The Republicans say they do not
see that the withdrawal OF Messrs.
Sutherland and Mccall broke the
quorum. Tn this view Mr.. Madison
Joins. He said:
Final action has not been taken.
No report has been adopted and a
majority can. of course. II IL sees At,
reverse todays action"

WAVES FLAG AND DEFTES
DEPUTIES TO ARREST HIM
Highland Park Man Barbados Sons
and Floats stars and Stripes as
"Protectlon From Anarchists"

John French, living at No. IL Ger
ald-ave., Highland Park, waved, from
an upper window In his home, small
American flag In the face OF Marshal
Fillmore and Deputy Marshal Wood
OF Highland Park, Wednesday, and de-
fed them to arrest him, claiming thai
the flag entitled hi INTO protection
from anarchists" The oficer were
on the steps Of French's home at the
time, unable to get in. They threat
ened to force an entrance by break
ing down the door, and French then
pulled OF" the flag incident.
French's scheme had the desired
effect, for the officers didn't carry out
their threat to break down the door
although they said the waving Of the
flag wouldn't keep them back. They
camped on the steps all day. On leav.
ing, French says. they told him they
would be back Thursday to get him
dead or alive. French was not fright
ened, however. He told them he would
have a squad of soldiers on hand 10
protect him, as he was a federal wit
ness in q reasonable conspiracy, and
therefore, was entitled to protection
of the United States government.
French is wanted by the officers Oh
complaint Of q number OF workmen
who say that he flashed revolver OF
them when they threw stones at bis
dog, which they say, ran over some
fresbly-laid cement.

suit that the Aeronauttc Federation of
America and the American Aeronautic AS
sociation, both fighting for control of ma
tional aeronauticaI events, will probably
have many clash. The next meeting of
the federation will be held on August 2
at a place to be designated later by Mr..
Maxim.
The statement handed out at the Aero
Club was, in part, as follows:
The board of governors of the Aero Club
of America hereby authorizes the organi-
cation of the National Council of Affiliated
Clubs of the Aero Club of America. The
representative of the international Aero
naUtic Federation. All matters relating to
national affairs are to be referred to the
said National Council The National Coun-
Gil will be composed of one member from
each affiliated club for 1910, and the Ma
organization on the basis of state repre-
sentatiOn. The chairman of the National
Council shall be named by the Aero Club
of America.
Further resolved that the matter of the
location of the international races after 1910
will be vested in the National Council:
That a committee shall be constituted by
the National Council to deal with the ques-
tons involving the sanction of the national
meets.
Each of the thirty-eight was asked at
the meeting in the Aero Club rooms for a
statement of the number of members in
the club which he represented. From the
figures which they gave it was estimated
that over three thousand persons were rep
resented by the thirty-eight.

MADRIZ FORCES FLEEING
Provisional Troops Before AGO
vapa-To Attack Town.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua. June 22-The three
provisional columns under command OF
Generals Mena, Carton and Macis have ar
rived before Acoyapa. They met feeble
resistance, the scattered Madriz troops fee
ing into the interior. The Madriz garrison
at Acoyapa numbers about three hundred
men, while General Mena has fifteen hun
dred men under his command. 1t is ex-
pected that he will attack the town i'm
mediately.
With this section of the country under
his control, General Mena will have ac-
cess to Lake Nicaragua, and can establish
easy communication with his friends in
Granada and other towns.
The advance from now should be
made without difficulty, as the people are
believed TO be friendly and supplies are to
be obtained in abundance
The situation along the coast is un-
changed. The Venus has not yet returned
from her expedition, along the coast, which
resulted in the capture of several towns
These made no resistance to the Madri2
steamer and are not considered any great
loss to the provisional government, except
Cape Gracias. which has a small revenue
from customs.
