A P|NCHOT
 CONSP|RACY For Overthrow of Secretary
 Ba|fnger DETAILS MADE KNOWN
By Director of Geological Survey Who Had Been Told That Conspirators Were Going to "Get Him One Way or Another"

Washington. April 23.-An effort will be made by the defense in the Dallinger- Pinchot investigation to show that PinchOt and his assistants conspired to overthrow Ballinger be cause he opposed Pinchot's way con
 serving" George otis Smith. director
 of the Geological Survey. occupied his
 stand during practically the entire day His most interesting disclosure related
 to a conversation he had with PinchOt last July in which the latter. he said. characterized BallinSer as q yellow
 dog and threatened to lead q fight
 against the secretary if there was any criticism or former Secretary Garfield at the Spokane irrigation congress. Mir.
 smith also told of q talk with Asso-
 ciatc Forester O. W. Price last Sep tember while the latter was acting for ester. in which Price. it is alleged. said:
 We will get him CBallinGer) one way or another"
 Following his interviel. with Pin chot. smith attended the Spokane congress where a fight was precipi- tatcd over the charge that Ballinger had allowed the interests" to grab large number of valuable water power sites.
 smith excited great interest by read ing letter he wrote on August I6. 1909. to subordinates fin his office while he was on his way back from the Spokane congress. describing the fight.
 The whole conservation movement k now linked up with Pinchots views on
 the subject" wrote Mir. smith. 50 that orthodoxy in the cause means an agreement with Pinchct. As I look at it. any issue is to iSc raised that can be against Secretary Ballinger. not be- cause of that issue. but because Bal finger is to be overthrcwn because he opposed PInchot's way of conserving.
 smith said this occurred on Wednes- day afternoon and that when Ballinger was ready to leave he asked him to stay behind and refute cX-Govsrncr Pardee's misstatements and stand out in the open against Pinchot and his as- sociates. He added that he spoke on Thursday morning after several efforts had been made to keep him off the platform.
 The governor and [ avoided person. alitics. continued Smith. and con- tended ourselves with showing up each others falsehoods
 The governor was there to fight Pinchot's fight. The big grab shrunk
 every hour and Pardee's insincerity
 made bad impression on many dele gates. I played the other line and while I did not draw many tears. was successful enough to make them gag me with a motion to adjourn.
 The Alaska story leaked. much to the disgust of Ballinger's enemies. | am afraid well-meaning conservation- ists are using the devils own weapons
 to fight the interests. I have yet to
 learn that any power sites have been stolen.
 Now there vas no criticism of Gar field at Spokane. yet the fight came off as planned. The congress was organ
 ized. the issues were shaped. orators chosen. newspapers primed and. in
 short. all the guns were loaded The
 result was that the power site grab
 charge was defective and the Alaskan
 coal charge went off earlier than was
 planned'

THE ADDRESS.

Colonel Roosevelt's address in Eng fish follows:
 Strange and impressive associations rise in the mind of a man from the New World who speaks before this august body in this ancient institu- ton of learning. Before his eyes pass the shadows of mighty kings and war like nobles of great masters of law and theology: through the shining dust of the dead centuries he sees crowded figures that tell Of the pow CT and learning and splendor Of times gone by: and he sees also the innu- merable host of humble students to whom clerkship meant emancipation, to whom it was well-nigii the only outlet from the emancipation of the Middle Ages.
 This was the most famous univer- sity of Medieval Europe at time when 'noone dreamed that there was a. New World to discover Its ser vices to the cause of human knowl- edge already stretched far back into the remote past at the time when my forefathers. three centuries ago. were among the sparse bands of trad- CTS. plowmen. woodchoppers and fish, crfoik who. in hard struggle with the iron unfrieDdliness of the Indian haunted land. were laying the foun- dations of what has now become the giant republic of the west. To con- quer a continent. to tame the shaggy roughncss of wild nature. means grim warfare; and the generations en- gagged in it cannot keep. still less add to. the stores of the Sarnered wis dom which once was theirs. and which are still in the hands of their brethren Of the old land. To conquer the wilderness means to wrest vic tory from the same hostile forces with which mankind struggled in the immcmorial infancy of our race. The primcval conditions must be met by primevaI qualities which are incom- patibIc with the retention of much that has been painfully acquired by humanity as through the ages il has striven upward toward civilization In coISlitions so primitive there car be but a primitive culture.
