DEFENSE OPENS ITS CASE
Attorney Vertrees Warmly Commends
Secretary BalIinqer.

Washington, March 26.-The defense
had it's first inning today at the con-
gressional inquiry into the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy. Attorney Yer
trees, chief counsel for the secretary
of the interior, in a statement present
ing his case, poured out the walls of
his wrath upon Clifford Pinchot, former
forester, and l.. R. CLAWS, former chief
of the Seattle field division of the land
office, the two principals in the prose
cution.
He answered the charges against
Ballinger in term of bitter denuncia.
ton on the one hand and warm COM
mendation Of the secretary on the
other.
The Pinchot-Glavis side finished
shortly after the luncheon recess. At,
torney l.. d. B%randeis, at that time,
made a second Intellectual attempt to
force the committee to call Secretary
Ballinger to testify as the first wit
ness for the defense" but the COM
mittee overruled the request, as it
previously decided against a demand
by Brandeis that he be allowed to call
Balllnger as a witness for the "pros-
ecution."
Attorney Vertrees then began his
opening statement, which he read from
a carefully prepared manuscript.
when Mr.. Ballinger has been
heard" said Attorney Vertrees, cit
will be said that true conservation has
no steadier supporter than he. He
holds hat conservation is not a thing
of caprice, but of law; that those who
have already been born and now
breathe have rights as we'll as those
yet to be born and breathe"

OVER TWO HUNDRED KILLED
Fire Cause of Frightful Disaster ir
Hungary,

Mateszalka, Hungary. March %
Two hundred and fifty people were
killed and many others injured in the
village Of Oekoerite when fire broke
out in a hotel where a ball was being
held.
A coachhouse connected with the
hotel had been fitted up as a ballroom
and was crowded with several hun
dred guests when the fire started.
The flames were first noticed when
a woman's dress was seer to be
ablaze. A moment later the gowns
of several other women were burning.
Panic followed and in a mad rush
to the exits many persons fell and
were trodden to death.
AS if to make matters worse the
roof caved in before the hall could
be cleared. Many injured persons
and those who, because of the crash
at the doors, had been prevented from
escaping, were buried with the dead
in the ruins.

News Of the Week From vari-
Gus Parts of the State.
PRAIRIE FIRES VERY SERIOUS
Destroy Much Property Along
the Missouri Slope.

Prairie fires on the Missouri slope
were the worst in years and many in
stances are reported where farmers
have lost all of their property.
West of the river conditions seem
to be the worst. At Harmon it was
reported that half a dozen barns had
been destroyed, miles of fences burned
and thousands of tons of hay lost in
the fires. Fort Clark, Crown Butte
and Sims also report heavy losses.
East of Ashley there were numerous
reports as to the loss of property. Live
stock has suffered and in many places
numbers of them have been destroyed.
Samuelson Bros, ten miles north Of
Mckenzie, telephoned to the city that
they had been entirely cleaned out
and other farmers in that vicinity
have suffered extensively.
An unconfirmed report was to the
effect that a woman and her little
daughter had been burned to death
on their farm. Near Brittin and Moi
fit there were bad fires and it is re-
ported that a number of families had
been burned out of house and home.
John Schultz, a farmer near Pier
son, this state, was taken to an Aber-
deem IS. d. hospital suffering severe
ly from burns received while fighting
prairie fires. Reports from the neigh
borhood of Forbes say the suffering
caused by the prairie fires in that sec
ton will be heavy.
Many farmers lost everything they
possessed and arrived at Forbes with
only their clothes on their backs.
Many of the farmers, it is claimed,
will have to be aided to put in their
crops this season, owing to the loss
of their possessions.
A prairie fire near Roscoe destroyed
farm buildings, houses and live stock
on a number of farms.
