whose sensational speech 10 the House
last December practically forced through
the resolution ordering the Bsllinger-

of suppression, evasion and falsitica!lon
In high places has never before bsen
known In public life." BE declares
that 10 the defense OF Ballinger "there
has been committed the most wicked
sacrifices OF public servants, and directly
attacks the president, asserting that "if

ANOTHER hitch has occarred in the
plan to raise the bat!leship Maine sunk
at Havana harbor in 1898. Congress
recently appropriated 100000 to raise

given out yesterday by the War Depart
m ant, 1t may take half million dollars
O, more to defray the cost of raising the
wreck. Secretary OF War Dickinson
yesterday called t5e attention OF the

Maine will never be raised so long as

WAY, for tina reason that it might be
shown that the ship was blown up from
the inside.
