LIE IS GIVEN TO GARFIELD
cessor Made Unfair and False
Statement to President.

Washington. ut was not a fair
or truthful statement" exclaimed Sec.
retary Ballinger during the Balm
ger-Pinchot investigation, referring to
a sentence in former Secretary Gar
fields letter to the president last No
vember, which read:
"He (Ballinger) directed the recla-
nation service to prepare lists for re-
storing the withdrawn lands, but to do
so slowly in order not to attract pub
lie attention"
Mr.. Ballinger said that all the lands
actually had been restored within a
period of three weeks.
Mr. Ballinger again denied that he
had ordered or directed, as testified by
Mr.. Newell and Mr.. Davis, that the
reclamation service should recommend
tho restoration of power sites with
drawn under Garfield.
Mr.. Ballinger said that since Pin
chot's dismissal there had been a re-
versal of the policy of the forestry bu-
reau, which held full sway when
Pinchot was in charge.
Secretary Ballinger read to the COM
mittee letter received from the pregi-
dent last September in which Mr.. Taft
said the weakness of Pinchot lay in
'his inability to credit high and hon
orable motives to those who differ with
him as to his method of doing things"

the trial of her son-in-law, DR.. B. c.

After describing the events between
September IL and December is, she
told with much feeling Of receiving
from her son, Thomas. the fragments
of capsules he had found in the snow
where Doctor Hyde had thrown them.
Mrs. Swope told how she fastened the
pieces to a card and soon afterwards
telephoned for ]. G. Paxton. her at
torney. She washed her sons hand
after smelling the fingers. The odor
suggested almonds.
Mrs. Swope said that she, Doctor
Hyde and Colonel Hunton discussed
the residuary estate which Colonel
Swope intended to leave to some
charity. They talked of how the es-
tate would be divided among the rela-
tives, if the will remained unchanged.

Mrs. Hyde and her husband did not
know whether or not they would re-

Mrs. Swope described the seizure of
Nose Hunton and his death from
apoplexy. Her voice failed frequent
ly and she was obliged to cease speak
ing for a few seconds to regain con-
troll of her emotions.
Doctor Hyde and Mrs. Hyde, a few
feet away, watched her closely and
listened eagerly to every word.

state rested its case.

Lovera, OuarraIs.

Lovers quarrels generally arise from
the merest trifle. In about nine cases
out of ten neither side could tell you
how the wrangle came about. There
was misunderstanding a word taken
amiss, look that was misinterpreted.
Then the quarrel began in real earn
est. The safest rule for avoiding a
second quarrel, some wise person once
said, is never to have first. Each
time the lists are entered it is easier
to rush into combat again.
Old writer's used to say that the
quarrels of lovers meant the ultimate
renewal of love. There Is no truth in
this assertion. 1t may be that when
people become reconciled after a quar-.
rel they are kinder and more loving to
each other fog a time by way of atone
ment, but there is rarely again the
same sense of confidence and security

1000 LIVES LOST
EARTHQUAKE AT CARTAGo FAR
EXCEEDS THE FIRST
REPORTS.
LOSS RUNS INTO MILLIONS
Scarcely a Building Remains Standing
In city-Hundreds Are Killed and
Injured In Collapsed Structures
Wires Still Down.

Managua, Nicaragua.-Reports re-
ceived from Costa Rica state that the
earthquake disaster is worse than at
first reported.
The loss of life, at first estimated
at 500, was Friday placed, according
to the latest news from the ruined
city, at not less than 1000, and it may
largely exceed that figure. Hundreds
were seriously injured in the collapse
of buildings.
The property loss will amount to
many millions of dollars. Wires at
Cartago are all down and details of
the catastrophe are coming in slowly.
The earthquake, which occurred
Wednesday night, consisted of a ter
rife series of seismic shocks which
razed practically every dwelling and
nearly all the larger buildings in the
ancient capital of Costa Rica.
The shocks were felt plainly in
Nicaragua, near the Costa Rican bor-
der. Rescue parties have gone to the
stricken city from San Juan Del Sur
and other towns.
With the first upheaval houses and
business and public buildings began
tumbling down. Many of the occu-
pants were crushed to death at once,
while others were injured and held in
the ruins to die later.
Shrieking with terror, men, women
and children, hundreds Of them in
jured, rushed from their tumbling
dwellings into the streets and began a
mad flight for the open country.
Many of them were crushed to death
or mortally injured by falling walls,
as they stumbled through narrow
streets which were writhing under the
pressure of the mighty subterranean
forces.
Everywhere in the darkness and
sitting dust the white figures could be
seen flying for safety, while steady,
deafening, terrifying roar filled the air
and added to the horror of the occa-
sion. Many of the ruins caught fire
and scores of the dead and injured
were cremated in them.

who called the bluff of the hold-up
man, who was unarmed, in true Amer
lean fashion. Before she was through
with him he had made up his mind
that robbing is not his best line of
endeavor.
The hold-up man had followed Miss
O'Beirne and her mother for several
blocks, and when he tried to overtake
them they ran into the middle of Bea.

But Miss O'Beirne did not frighten
worth cent. She drew herself up to
her full height of something over five
feet and said:
I'VE shall do nothing of the sort.
And don't you dare to harm my
mother. l don't believe you're rob-
Der anyway"
Then shall shoot you," replied the
man as he began to search in his hip
pocket.
But Miss O'Beirne did not weaken.
and the situation began to fiatten out,
from the robbers point of view.
II don't believe you even have re-
