FROM SERVICE
eALLlNeER PUTS OUT INDIAN
AeENTs-"DIsGRAcEFUL" CON-
DITlON OF AFFAIRS

Ballinger of the interior department
today suspended fiGnl Office Supelln-
tendent John d Benedict of the Five
Civilized tribes Of Oklahoma, and three
supervisors, after an investigation that
had disclosed ''dissraceful condition
affecting the material welfare OF the
schools.
AS a result of the investigation
the interior department has been carry
ing on for some time and which will
be continued, other officials of the in
dian service may suffer a like fate to
that of Superintendent Benedict and
the three supervisors suspended to-
day
The investigation that resulted in
today's action was begun because of
reports charging the officials already
suspended as well as others, with act
ivities improper for government en-
ployes.
The suspended supervisors are Call
win Ballard Of the Choctaw schools at
McAlester; Frederick H. Umholtz of
the Chickasaw schools at Ardmore. and
Walter Faiwel of the Creek schools at
Muskogee.
Before any further action is taken in
tboi, cacnc tho four mon will no al
lowed to answer the charges before
the secretary of the interior.
From the report it appears that
Superintendent Benedict is connected
with certain business interests in Ok
lahoma that have dealings with the in
dams This relationship, it was be-
lieved. was wholly incompatible with
his service as superintendent. He
had permitted the schools, it was re"
ported. to fall into a disgraceful con-
dition and the supervisors have neg
lected their duties in matters affect
ing the material and moral conditions
of the schools.
Oscar III. Lipps, supervisor of indian
Schools who has been sent to Okla
homa. notified the department today
that he has relieved Superintendent
Benedict pending the result of the in
vestigation. The duties of the suspend
ed supervisors will be performed tenn
porarily by detailed clerks ofsthe in

EeIs of the committee by the house
itself. rather than by the speaker, as
was originally provided. Without
awaiting official notification as to the
action of the house the senate COM
mittee on public lands has decided to
report the resolution in such a form
rs to authorize the selection of the
house members by the speaker. IN
questionably this action was taken
with the intention OF complimenting
he speaker and it will be reported to
he senate.
Cannon Will Acquiesce.
Speaker Cannon, it is said, feels that
t. will be impolitic for him to take
advantage Of this conoition and over
ride the expressed order of a major
ity of the house and it is probable
therefore that the senate will steer
clear of the controversy with the 9TH
CT chamber
1t is now said that the speaker
would prefer that the house elect the
committee. In case this course pre-
walls the republican members proba-
lily will designate their members in
caucus and it is claimed that in that
event the insurgents would partici-
pate in the caucus proceedings.
No matter how the general situation
the secretary OF the interior and Mf.
Pinchot is expected to be the princi-
pal topic in congressional circles dur
ng the week Officially the question
will not again come up in the house
until after the senate has taken ac-
ton.
Hot Time Ahead Maybe.
The senate committee on public
lands will report it's resolution to-
morrow So great is the interest in
the matter that it is not thought that
the resolution will be adoped without
al animated and personal debate
Every effort will be made to prevent
the investigation of the administra-
ton in a too general way.
The senate calendar is still very
lean, and aside from the Ballinger-
Pinchot resolution the prospect for
the present week is not favorable to
any legislation of Importance. The
house will proceed with the considera-
ton Of the army appropriation bill
and it is thought that measure will
be before it until Tuesday night. By
that time the Notifications bill will
be reported and will be taken up at the
first opportunity.

FARMINo msITE cITY LnlITs.

Tfny Plots IN New York Are Rented
oae 20 Truck Farmers.
To say that farming within the
boundaries Of the city Of New York Is
d profitable occupation and that il Is
carried on professionally with large
degree Of success might seem to some
an extravagant assertion. Yet John R.
Bowie OF the soil division Of the fed
eral department OF agriculture, a New
York letter 70 the Christian Science
Monitor says. has just Issued a report
on the farming possibilities OF this
city. showing Complementary that
the best agriculture In the country is
not only possible here. but carried on
TO a remarkable degree.
Within the city boundaries unoccu.
pied lots and unsubdivided tracts are
rented out IN small plots for market
gardening and trucking purposes. The
majority Of the farms are Of miniature
size. some one-half or one-Quarter OF
an acre or even only the size OF a city
lot Under such cramped conditions
Il - necessary to do some crop NOV
Ing and marketing during every month
OF the year. Even the mldwinter sea
son the farmer uses to market his
root crops which have been stored
waiting higher prices and the fruit
picked during the autumn. With the
dawn OF spring the spinach and rhu-
barb start the crop and having been
disposed Of az the city market other
crops follow IN a steady stream.
The chief point in this intensive
farming Is to utilize every foot OF
ground to It's best advantage. The
onion and radish are good examples
Of how this Is accomplished As soon
as the onion develops the slightest sus.
picion Of bulb It Is pulled and bunch
ed and those next Il In size are given
better opportunity for growth and
development In this way not a single
crop. but a continuous supply Of
onions and radishes Is produced.
