Session
THE CUNNINGHAM CLAIM
Garfield Quickly Destroyed the De.
fense Argument Of BaIIinser
in the Old Gale
Case.

WASHINGTON March l0.-One of
Pinchot controversy was discussed to-
day at the session of the congression-
al investigation committee when Car
field resumed the witness stand.
This was the coal land legislation con-
sidered by congress during his term
as secretary of the interior and the
attitude of Ballinger then commits
sioner of the general land office par
ticularly with regard to the Gale bill.
One of the chief charges against
Ballinger was his alleged support of
this measure. Senator Root read a
portion of the testimony given by
Ballinger al the time this bill was up
in congress, the senator's intent ap-
parently being to show that Balling-
er had appeared not in support of
the measure but to amend it. Balling-
er. it was shown by Root, had advised
The adoption of a clause in the bill
for the classification of coal lands

corresponding figure. AS defense

quickly destroyed by Garfield.
Mr. Ballinger suggested this pro
vision and agreed with him." said
the witness, but he also wanted tc

time come under the old law--that is
to let them go at $40 an acre, with
the privilege of consolidation after

lila, March "a
trolley car was dynamited last night
at Germantown avenue and Logan
street in Germantown The explosion
lifted the car off the track and set it
down crossways with a crash that
smashed every window pane and
hurled twenty passengers against the
seats and sides OF the car.
The concussion broke window glass
in dozens of the houses along the ave-
nue. and produced panicky feeling
in the neighborbood that lasted for
hours. 1t was remarkable that none
of the people in the car were seriously
hurt.
! In a. few minutes several thousand
people were massed around the
wrecked car. Ambulance calls were
sent to hospitals, but nobody needed
the attention of the doctors. The po-
lice came with rush from the City
hall and nearby stations and searched
the ground for possible clews. None
were found.
Another car was stoned and it's
windows smashed. Another was
bombarded with beer bottlee and
bricks. A motorman was struck with
a stone and his face cut.
An almost certain clash between the
union labor forces and the police is in
dicated by the announcement of the
strikers committee that it would hold
an open-air mass meeting in the Ma
tional league baseball park atnoon
The police authorities declared that
the meeting would not be permitted,
but the men reiterated their intention.
of holding it, claiming peaceful assem-
blage and exercise of free speech at a
meeting on inclosed private property
| was within their constitutional rights.
! Results Of the ir dicated clash are
awaited with some littls trepidation.
The strikers declare Their meeting will
be orderly, however. and that there
will be no just cause for intereference
There is the possibility of serious
/ trouble if the men who struck at the
j Baldwin locomotive works make good
7 their declaration to march to the City
hall today, cheering for the unions.
There are upward of 1000 of these
men on strike-big, husky fellows,
who would as soon fight as not. They
/ have planned to make demonstra-
tion to show their sympathy with the
unions The police are preparing to
break up any such demonstration.

PHEASANT is WORTH STUDY
Chicago Professor Explains Why
100000 Was Appropriated to

This question was raised in Chi

the New York Geological society ID
planning to spend this sum on an ex-
petition to study those birds. The ex-
petition has just left New York in
charge of Prof. William Beebe Pleas
ants VIII be investigated in England,
China, India, Borneo and other coun-
tries, where they are known or be
lieyed to exist
4 member OF the zoology depart
ment the University Of Chicago gave
the following explanation of the Bee
be expedition.
HPheasants. you know. are the wild
original from which our domestic
fowls have been developed. For this
reason they are especially interesting,
In connection with breeding questions.
Prof. Beebe. IL remerabel correctly,
has been working on the influence Of
environment on the color OF the
plumage-protective celebration, and
so forth, There are other reasons why
the pheasant would well repay study.
1t presents opportunities for detefmin'
ing relationships in the pheasant fam
lily for instance. Its existence infsome
