DISPOSAL OF DEAD CATTLE
Serious Health Problem COnfrODts
Residents of New Counties in
south Dakota.

PIERRE. S. D.. May 5.-(Special)-At
the meeting of the State Board of Health
held here last evening, the question Of dis
posal of dead cattle on the prairies of the
northwestern part of the state was con-
sidered. and the board took steps to at
once secure the appointment of county
boards OF health in the new counties of
that part of the state with instruction to
take definite action toward compelling the
former owners of such cattle to dispose
of the carcasses, either by burial or by
burning. This action will no doubt stir
protests on the part of cattle owners but
the situation is looked upon as one which
must be met TO prevent sickness among
the residents of that part of the state.

He Charges that Letter Written IN
President Taft Does Not Square

Records.

WASHINGTON. May SIT was not a

retary Ballinger during the BaIlinger-
Pinchot investigation today, referring to a
sentence in former Secretary Garfields
letter to the president last Noevmber,
which read
He (Ballinger) directed the reclama-
ion service to prepare lists for restoring
the Withdrawn lands, qua d, do-so slowly
in order not to attract public attention.
Mr.. Balinger said that while he had no
desire TO reflect on the previous admins
tration, which had withdrawn the lands
unlawfully, he believed-he had issued no
such order and that all the lands actually
had been restored within a period of three
weeks.
Another Statement Disputed.
Another statement in the same letter was
disputed by MI Ballinger. Near the end
of his letter Mr., Garfield said the plan
of the reclamation service for the issuance
of cooperative certificates had been an

tion. Mr. Ballinger read an affidavit from
the secretary OF that committee to the
effect that he had fdiltd TO find anv such

Ballinger said he feared they might he

the president the power to withdraw them.
He admitted that he had no more legal au-

Mr.. Ballinger contradicted two stale
ments made by Secretary Garfield in his
letter Of November 6. 1909, to President
Taft. In that letter, which is In evidence.
Mr., Garfield said that the cooperative
certificate plan of the reclamation service
had been approved by the senate commit

certificate from the secretary of that COM

the minutes of the committee since 1903 had

Text of Address.

Mr.. Roosevelt said:
1t is with peculiar pleasure that I stand
here today to express the deep apprecia
ton feel of the high honor conferred upon
me by the presentation OF the Nobel Peace
Prize. The gold medal which formed part
of the prize l shall always keep and / shall
hand it on TO my children as precious
heirloom. The sum Of money provided as
part OF the prize by the wise generosity OF
the illustrious founder OF this world-famous
prize system, l did not, under the peculiar
circumstances OF the case, feel at liberty
to keep. l think It eminently Just and
proper that in most cases the recipient Of
the prize should keep for his own use the
prize in its entirety But in this case, while
I did not act officially as president OF the
United States, II was nevertheless only be-
cause 1 was president that l was enabled
to act at all; and I felt that the money
must be considered as having been given
me in trust for the United States. there

to forward the cause Of industrial peace as
being well within the general purpose Of

righteousness and Justice the only kind Of
peace worth having, is at least as neces-
sary in the industrial world as It Is among
nations. There Is at least as much need

possibilities OF collective action by the va

universal peace.
Mr.. Roosevelt said 1t must be borne In

the speaker, who will not fight rather

As he proceeded, Mr. Roosevelts voice
plainly showed the effect of the strain to
which it has been subjected by the daily
speech making since March l. Today it
failed him several times and toward the
close of his address, which was delivered
with unusual emphasis. he had difficulty
in making himself heard. This morning he
consulted a throat specialist who sug-
gested rest from speaking az the best
remedy. Nevertheless, the former presi-
dent continued his set speech to its end
