Administration Urges
the Early Ending of
Investigation

Washington. April 22.-An effort
will be made by the administration
to bring the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
CATION speedily to close. In this
move the indication is that the
friends OF the secretary of the interior
Will meet with ready acquiesocnce
OF all members of the congressional
committee without regard 10 their
views on the question OF whether or
not the charges against Mr.. BallInger
have been sustained.
Secretary OF State Knox visited the
capitol yesterday and conferred with
several members of the committee
He had no definite plan to present,
but merely urged that the inquiry be
expedited. He is said 20 have spoken
for President Taft, and the inference
was drawn that the manner in which
the hearing was dragging along had
beer the subject OF cabinet discus,
sion
When Chairman Nelson arrived at
the capitol today he said he would
try to induce the members OF the
committee to give au additional day
each week 10 the hearings. Under
the present order, the committee sits
on Fridays and Saturdays. A brief
executive session was held prior TO
taking of testimony. but the attend
ance was too small to bring up the
subject OF extending tho ume that is
to be given TO the proc ceedings.
1t has been the understanding that
the defense. as the Balllnger side of
the controversy has been commonly
termed. would put on the stand doz-
en- or more witnesses in addition TO
Secretary Balllnger himself Should
each witness be examined az the
length that has characterized the eX-
animation hitherto, II is admitted the
inquiry would not only go beyond the
probable period of the present session
OF congress, but Wen Into the sum
mcr
Senator Root Is to sail for Europe.
May 2l. and his colleagues are eX-
ceedingly anxious tliaJ the inquiry be
closed, So that he may assist In franz
ing a report
1t is also apparent that additional
time must be given by the committee
to the taking OF testimony While
the committee has no intention of
making any rules. which would in any
manner curtail the bringing out of
the facts. the attorneys on both sides
will be asked TO assist in conserving
time.

'rhe American Lord =.

1t was not until Charles B. Han
ford and his manager, E. Lawrence
Walker had studied many manuscripts
with great care that The American
Lord was selected. 1t has for some
time been the intention to make a
Hanford production OF strictly Am
erican play: one which would enable
the popular star to portray a type OF
our own civilization with the same
virile power that has marked his
representations of classic roles. In.
THE American Lord" Mr.. Hanford
delineates a man with nerves of steel
yet heart that melts like wax when
the happiness of his children are con-
cerned. 1t is the unexpected inheri-
tance by such man of a title which
lays the foundation for story which
blends comedy with pathos.
The principal female role will be
in the hands of Miss Marie Drofnah
whose many admirers cannot fail to
be especially gratified this season at
finding her so congenially cast. The
production will be up to the same
high standard of excellence which has
been characteristic of the Hanford
offerings in the past. THE Ameri-
can Lord" will be Mr.. Hanford's play
at the Oregon theatre on Tuesday,

twin of "Jeffries." The two are the

Yesterday afternoon, Thomas, ~
cat like, hoped through the open

her. presence until the lift was started
up. Then blood curdling shrieks rent
the air. Not knowing from whence
the cries came, Jack" Togosho. the

machine on the ascent.
Finally, he looked up, and through
the grating, espied Thomas" The

black cat turned entirely white.

The Whitman College Girls Glee
Club which is to give concert in this
city Friday evening. March 11th, is
a club which has had excellent train
ing throughout the year and is well
prepared for the program to be given.
Realizing the musical advantages
enjoyed by Pendleton people, the club
is making a special effort to present
a program which will meet with their
approval Besides the choruses
which are attractive in their variety
and quality, several special numbers
in the form of quartettes, Duets and
solos have been provided.
The remarkable Spanish duet from
Lacome, "Estudiantina," will be sung
by two members of the club, Miss
Florence Bohannon, soprano, and Miss
Mary Diven, contralto. Miss Bohar-
mons voice is one of great power and
sweetness. She graduates this year
from the Whitman conservatory of
music. Miss Diven has a splendid
contralto which admirably balances
the high soprano.
Odissa D. Stirling of the Whitman
conservatory will accompany the
club as concert pianist. Mr.. Stirling
is well known in Pendleton and needs
no introduction to music lovers Of the
city. He makes his piano sing out In
a soul inspiring way. He is the po-
etic musician in whom the best and
