(American News SerVice)

Washington, March 3-Another
complication has arisen in the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, which is
sorely troubling the president, and
which may be the subject of congress
sional action. Secretary Ballinger has
refused permission to A. G. Shaw, the
deposed law officer of the forestry
setvice. to practice before the inter,
ior department. Shaw has taken the
matter up with his friends in congress,
particularly Representative Page and
Senators Overman and Simmons OF
North Carolina. They have in turn
carried the issue to the president
Thus far the president stands firmly
by the decision of Secretary Ballinger
not to grant the permit to Shaw to
practice before his department.
He Assisted CLAWS.
Shaw is the man whom Pinchot di
rected to proceed to Chicago and meet
Louis r. CLAWS and the president has
cOncurred in his action. Senator Roof
has been called upon to answer by
senate, or in some way to settle the
matter. If he does not succeed in do
ing so there will be further Difficult
ties growing out of the Ballinger-Pin
chot controversy.

Council Now.
american News Service)


Philadelphia, March 3.-Mob violence
broke out again today wnen the transit
company attempted to resume it's oper-
alton of cars in the Bridesburg dis
trict, where the cars have not been run
since the strike began. The first car
and strike breakers manning 1t. were
showered with missiles of all kinds.
The company was forced to withdraw
its service. Crazed with their victory.
the strike sympathizers tore up the
tracks while the others applied the
torch to the waiting room at Orthodox
and Richmond streets. A huge sign
board, a hundred feet long and twenty
feet high was torn from it's fastenings
and placed across the car tracks and
the crowd intrenched themselves be-
hind it. anticipating a battle with the
police. Strikers wearing uniforms,
protested against the mob's destruct-
iveness. and implored them to desist,
but without avail. A large detail OF
police and fire department apparatus
dispersed the mob. This afternoon the
mobs surrounded the City Hall in a
threatening attitude. Many clashes
with the authorities occurred. An
immense guard of police and specials
were rushed to the scene.
With the arrival of a squad of po-
lice. coming in an opposite direction to
the approach of the slow-moving fire
company, the crowd was scattered.
What VIII Councils Do?
The action the city councils will
take on the strike situation is the vi
tai question today. The general view
was that the company had killed all
chances for arbitration and that the
big walk-out Saturday could not pos
sibly be averted.
When seen this morning the floor
leaders were silent as to what moves
had BEEN planned. d. ~
A member of the Market Street Mer.
chants association declared that that
body had abandoned It's efforts to end
the strike and it is apparent this
morning that all hope of preventing a
general strike is graduaffy disappear
ing.
Mayor Reyburn's stand against ar
bitration this morning was as firm as
ever.
1t is believed that the councils will
not take steps which would tend t
anger the mayor in the face of his
threat to break with the republican
organization.
The mayor announced that he would
send a message today to the councils
defining his position.

Circular Letter.

To The People of Carroll County:
 It seems that 1 should make some statements setting forth tEe truth in regard to my cadi- dacy for re election to the office of Tax Collector.
 In July two years ago when the Citizen Bank failed at Eu- reka Springs I fortunately had on deposit in the bank S2000 as Tax Collector. And when the wreck was cleared, it developed that I was furthur involved to the amount of $2106 which came in the form of my having receiv- ed checks on this bank for taxes several days before the failure, which had been duly presented by me in the usual way, making a total loss to me of S41O6.
 employed the best counsel and endeavored in the courts to procure a preferred settlement, but failed, and the loss fell di- rectly on me. My only show then was to let the county sue me and my bondsmen or borrow this amount of money and make settlement. My bondsmen prov ed loyal to me, knowing that this loss was not caused by mis- management, and assisted ne in borrowing this amount, and 1 made full settlement with the county.
 Since that time I have received S700 in dividends from the assets of the bank and have applied all my salary except my living ex- penses to pay off this note, and have reduced the debt from S4106 in the first place to S2130 at the present, which I still owe and which is due the Carroll County Bank in this coming July.
 In Justice to myself, I might say that had the Citizens Bank failed while my predecessor was in office it would have involved him and the county to the amount of over $40 900, as he used that Bank as the depository for all county funds.
 feel that I have made the people an effci~nt officer under very adverse circumstances and that am not violating any Demo- cratic principle in asking d third term 1 think the tax payers of the county realize thA injustice have suffered in this matter and will grant me a further endorse ment that l may free myself from this unfortunate debt.
 1 am familiar with the work as Tax Collector and cat render the people good service if again elected.

 The meeting was not largely attended, yet the representation was fair and the meeting was in every sense harm )nious.

 The club will meet again Mon. day night.
