been sent out by President Taft, the
friends and political supports of the
president wi take occasion to confer
regarding what is considered critic

They will take steps to bring about a

Is Roosevelt a candidate for the
presidenta. nomination in 1912? That
is question that is being discussed
in every political gathering through
out the country. Taft's friends will
demand Showdown" at the earliest
possible moment. They will insist
upon knowing what are Roosevelt's

CASHIER COUDEN
Was REMOVED
Name Was Prominently Con-

Washington. Sept. 9.-Frank NJ
Couden, cashier in the office of the
surveyor of customs of Cincinnati
whose name was prominently men,
toned In the Warriner embezzlement
scandal in tn Big Four railroad, was
discharged from the government serv-
ice today.
The temporary suspension of Cou-
den occurred several weeks ago, and
the order making it permanent came
from Secretary MacVeagh at Dublin
N. H.. to Assistant Secretary Hills in
Washington today. Couden's removal
is ordered on the specific charge OF
INSTRUMENTATION in that he absented
himself without leave from mis- Office
While it is not stated in the order
Of dismissal, it is shown that Couden
went to the Ohio state Republican
convention at Columbus after permis-
sion to do so had been refused by
Amos Smith. the surveyor at Cincin-
natl. That was the technical charge
against him, and Senator Dick of Ohio
without avail came to his defense.
No charge Is formally made against
Couden, SO far as it is known, be-
cause of the connection Of his name
with the Warriner embezzlement.

Three Republicans Refused to
Attend When Committee
Was Called to Order
REPRESENTATIVE DENBy usEO
STRONG TERMS IN CRITICISM
Action Of Democratic Minority Was
Most Extraordinary. Indefensible
and unjudicial That Partisan Poll.
tics Could Devise.

Minneapolis, Sept. 9.-BTt six men,
hers of the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
cation committee, one less than a
quorum. were present when the ses-
sion began today. Senator Suther-
land of Utah and the two other Re-
publicans, Representatives Samuel w.
Mccall of Massachusetts and Edwin
DENLY of Michigan, refused to attend
the meeting and did not appear at
the hotel where the sessions are be-
ing held.
The failure of these three members
to attend when the session was OPEN
ed was decided on last night, follow
ing the arrival of Representative Den
by. DENLY had declared that the ac-
tion of the five members who on We'd
nesday adopted the resolution of Rep
resentative Madison of Kansas an in
surgent Republican, which charged
that Secretary Ballinger was unfit for
public office and should be removed,
was the most extraordinary, inde-
fensive and uniudicial that partisan
politics could devise
In view Of that fact he stated it
would be absurd to meet with those
members when they had already
promulgated their decision. Aessrs.
Sutherland and Mccall took similar
view and failed to put in an appear
ance. Chairman Nelson. the only Re-
publican member besides Madison,
the insurgent representative. was
present and the meeting was regular
ly called to order. In addition to
Madison and Nelson, Democratic
members in attendance were Senators
Purcell of North Dakota. Fletcher of
Florida and Representatives Ollie
James OF Kentucky and James NJ
Graham Of Illinois.
Shortly after the committee was
called to order Chairman Nelson also
left the room.
Thus the four Democratic members
and one insurgent Republican menl-
Der were left without presiding Off
GER for the time being. The commit
tee. when it met, lacked one less than
a quorum and was unable to do busi-
ness which could be considered as
binding. Several attempts We're made
to enforce the attendance of the alb
sentees but Chairman Nelson held
there was no sergeant at arms pres
ent. although such power had been
delegated to Secretary Sloman Of the
committee and members could not be
arrested. Presumably the reason for
the failure of the Republicans to
maintain quorum was the possibil-
ity that the Hamocrats. being in con-
troll, their action of Wednesday adopt
ing the resolution declaring for the
removal of Secretary Ballinger, pos
sibly could have been ratified. The
chairman sent the Democrats and Mr..
Madison notice calling meeting Of
the committee in Chicago on Septem-
ber 10, but the latter contended that
Chairman Nelson had absolutely no
authority to do so.
