LIABLE ON FIRST
PAYMENT

DR.. J. g. Cunningham bought IN
investment bond for $4,000 from
the Pacific Northwest Improve
ment company. One of the condi-
lions was that If the payments were
not made on the bond that it would
lapse and the purchaser lose the
payments made. Dr. Cunningham
made the first payment, $3.50. by
giving his note and then changed
his mind as to the investment and
refused to pay the note. ~
Judge Huneke ruled that the fail.
ure to pay the note terminated the
contract and relieved the doctor OF
liability on the note.
The supreme court has reversed
Judge Hinkle and held that DR..
Cunningham is liable on his note
for the first payment of the pre-
MUM. Judgment was entered &C.
cOrdingly by Jundge Huneke.

AFTER BEING "VINDICATED"
SEC. BALLLNGER WILL RESIGN
(sy United Press Leased WIre)

(By United Press Leased WIre)
Portland. Ore. Sept. 6.-Secre-
tary Of the Interior Ballinger is to
be formally cleared by the congress
sional investigation committee of
the charges made against the con-
duct of lis affairs in relation to the
approval Of the Cunningham claims
in Alaska. He will then resign be-
fore congress has an opportunity to
act on the majority report and the
minority report that will be made
This forecast of the program of
the administration adherents reach
ed Portland today from a source
considered reliable. 1t provides the
safest plan for Ballinger to slide
into the pond of private life,
where he would be safe from the
attacks of his political enemies.
According to information from
Washington today, the "exonera-
ton" of Ballinger is to be accom-
plished by vote of seven stand
patters against the minority, which
consists of four democrats and one
republican.
"Vindicated," 1t Is rumored that
Ballinger is prepared to resign, as
1t would then be probable that both
houses would accept the majority
report. Should the secretary re-
main in office, however, 1t is said
that the insurgents of the house
would be disposed to join with the
democrats and stand behind the mi
nority report, which Representative
Madison will place before the repre-
sentatives.
