bers Of the Just Government League OF
the city of Baltimore are at work on
plans to hold meetings in the interests OF
votes for women at Halethorpe and at
Chevy Chase. Md
I'VE will let the voters who conferred a
great honor upon Mr.. Benson and Mr..

trust by comparing them to the scum OF
the earth.'" said Mrs. Donald r. Hooker,
q prominent member Of the Just Govern
ment League, today.
Meetings to Be Held.
Andrew J. Cummings. otherwise known
as "Cy," is apther delegate who will
have to explain his actions to his con-
stituents if the plans of the league are
realized, for the suffragists will make eff
forts to have a meeting in Chevy Chase,

Montgomery county voters sent Cum

Indignation over the remarks made by
Delegates Benson and Cummings on the

on the motion to indefinitely postpone ac-

abated in the least. The women say that
they want it particularly understood that
their future course in regard to the men
who, they say, made insulting and rude
will not be dictated by any
petty feeling Of spite.

.HAWKEYES OPPOSE
HIGHER MEAT RATE

Washington, May SENATOR Cum
Minis headed the greater part of the
Iowa congressional delegation at a
conference with Chairman Knapp of
the interstate commerce commission,
to protest against request by the
Milwaukee road for modification OF
recent order fixing the rate on meat
products from Sioux City, Iowa, to
Gary, Indiana, at 20 cents per 100
pounds.
Recently the railroad filed tariff
increasing the rate from Sioux City
to Chicago to 23h cents. Shippers
thereupon shipped for the east through
Gary instead of Chicago. The ROAD
then asked the commission to make
the Gary rate the same as the Chr

|VERTR[ES CHARGES
| DEEP CONSPIRACY
BALLlNGER DENIES ALL STATE.
MENTs AND ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST HIM.
RRANDEls BELIEVES ATTORNEY
GENERAL WickERsHAM PRAc-
TlcED DECEPTION.

Washington, May 1.-Mr Ballinger
continued to contradict and deny the
statements and accusations against
him from the witness stand in the in
vestigatlon yesterday. He launched
into justification OF his attitude
towards the reclamation service.
The ,aost important denial was of the
charge made by Director F. II, New
ell and Chief Eng .neer A. 2. Davis, OF
the service. that he misrepresented
to the president that the reclamation
service had recommended restoration
OF water power sites withdrawn by
Secretary Garfield. These officials
recommend these RESERVATIONS. Mr..
Ballinger swore he made no such or
der although he felt that the land
had been illegally withdrawn and
should be restored, He made no
secret of the fact that he would like
to see Mr.. Newell superseded as head
of the reclamation. He said ne did
not have much confidence in Newelrs
administrative ability, although he
denied hostility to the governments
reclamation policy and said that
many projects under way had great
possibilities for development. He ex-
planned why he was not in sympathy
withathe prevailing system of re-
clamation work. He said he did not
think the secretary of the interior
had the right to undertake any pro-
ject without having sufficient funds
in sight to complete it, He thought
the work should be done under con-
tract system instead of under the
government system.
Mr.. Vertrees, Ballinger's counsel,
charged that a conspiracy is afoot
against other advisers than Ballinger
of the president who happened to be
distasteful to the conspirators. He
intimated that Messrs. Garfield and
Pinchot We're the chief conspirators
Mr.. Brandeis for the defense, open
ly stated a belief that the attorney
general had antedated his summary
with the Idea of making that appear
proper which was not proper when
done" He had reference to the dis
missal of l.. R. CLAWS. by the presi-
dent on September Is last and was IN
timating that the attorney general,
months after that date, had drawn up
summary in an effort to justify an
error of the president and in order to
make the deception complete had
dated it two days before the presl-
dents action was taken.

the time. He wrote White saying he
was glad he was doing so well.
Lorimer said that previously he
had been told that White was very
poor He asked some friends to get
employment for him as me had voted
for him. He says White never ap-
peared to take a place open for him.
Lorimer says the untruthfulness OF
Whites story is shown by his quoting
Charles Luke as his authority where
he attempts to bring him (Lorimer)
in directly. Lorimer then says:
Luke rs dead. There is the point
to the lie. There can be no reply
from the grave. The trick is so
much a newspaper trick that can
hardly think White did it. I am con-
fident that the people in the Tribune
office, who made it an object for him
to sign the article, supplied him with
this crooked falsehood.
Incidentally, after reading the
dime novel stuff printed In the Trib-
une and comparing it with the letter
he wrote to me can say that White
had about as much to do with writ
ing the Tribune story as Il he had
never been born"

democratic party in Illinois, discred

and was not therefore working in the
interests of Lorimer. He said he did
not believe any democratic member
implicated in the matter in any way.

LORIMER SAYS STORY
IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE

Chicago, May 1.-Senator Lorimer
late yesterday issued statement say
ing the White statement Is absolutely
false
What is the matter with White is
beyond me. What is the matter with
the people behind him-the Chicago
Tribune-is easier to tell. They are
trying, by deliberate lying, to wreck
financial institutions which / am
known to be starting. 1t is an old
game with these people.
For 20 years the Tribune has i'm
agined that it could ruin me, not only
personally and politically, but in every
enterprise with which / have been
connected How well it has succeed
ed anybody in Chicago may Judge for
himself"
Mr.. Lorimer goes on to say he
never had but casual meeting with
White and never saw him alone. He
says any one familiar with Springfield
affairs would know in a minute such
q thing is untrue.
Mr.. Loriner says he can't tell why
White should tell such story. He
says some time ago in Washington
he got a letter from White saying he
was going to write story of his life
in the legislature. He said he had
written 10000 words for which he
mad an offer of $3.50 a wcrd.
