Secretary BaIIinger COntradlGts
Testimony Of ACCuser.
NOT GUILTY OF WRONGOOING
Defends His Action in Cunning
ham Coal Land Cases.

Washington, April 30.-Indignantly
any wrongdoing, Richard A. Ballinger,
Secretary of the interior, made a bit
ter attack upon his critics while a
witness before the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigating committee and charac-
terized many of the sworn statements
of his principal accuser, l.. R. CLAWS,
as "willful and deliberate lies"
Led on by his attorney, Mr.. Yer
trees, the cabinet officer answered
charges Of those who would destroy
him. He referred with apparent pride
to Theodore Roosevelt's oft expressed
high estimate of him, particularly the
former presidents statement when he
was commissioner of the land Office,
that he had secured a $4,000 man
for $4,000"
He defended his conduct in connec-
tion with the Cunningham coal cases
and stated he would take the same
action today if he had the same record
before him. After leaving the land
Office Mr.. Ballinger said his only con-
nection with the Cunningham case
was in bringing East from Seattle an
affidavit of Clarence Cunningham and
presenting it to Secretary Garfield.
For this service he said he had re-
ceived 5000 or $3.50, which he regard
ed as travelling expenses. He said that
when he became secretary of the in
terror he refused to pass upon the
claims in any way.
Attorney Vertrees still has to ex-
anime Mr.: Ballinger on the subject of
water power sites before turning him
over to Mr.. Brandeis, counsel for
CLAWS, and Mr.. Pepper, attorney for
Pinchot, for cross-examination
The secretary's testimony dealt al
most exclusively with the CLAWS
charges. At the next session it will
embrace his attitude toward conserva-
ton and the beginning of the contro-
Versy with Forester Pinchot.

TAGGART IS DOWNED
Kern Endorsed for Senator by
Indiana Democrats.

Indianapolis, April 29.-The Indiana
w. Kern, Democratic candidate for
vice president in 1908, as the can
didate for the United States senate.
The opposition made grim fight,
under the leadership of Thomas Tag
gart, former chairman<of the Demo
cratic national committee and himself
a candidate for the nomination, but,
in defeat, it joined heartily with the
element headed by Governor Marshall
and John E. Lamb, the latter also an
aspirant for the senatorship, in a
party's candidate.
When Governor Marshall as tenn
pOrary chairman, called the conven-
ton to order the floor and the galleries
of the hall were packed, and the rival
factions whose leaders had been in
conference all night, were prepared
for the decisive conflict.
The crisis of tumult sprang up
sharply when John E. Lamb arose to
speak for the plan and declared that
he was externally opposed to Taggart-
ism" Kisses and groans filled the
hall and drowned the cheers Of his
own Terre Haute and Vigo county
delegation of sixty and his other sup
porterS.
When the tumult subsidized he de-
clared unfiinchingly that the conven-
tion should nominate him cor some
better man." Senator Sh1Vely called
for the report of the collnittee on
resolutions, which was read and
adopted as the platform.
Kern made his way to the platform
in an effort to withdraw his name, but
his protest was in val Taggart shout
ing that the Indiana Democracy want
ed Kern in the senate and Kern re-
tired before the cheers. Then the
landslide for him started and he was
quickly nominated.

Radical Changes in Adminlstra-
tiOn Railroad Measure.
PROGRESsIvES ARE ELATED
Force Senate Leaders TO Make
Changes Desired.

Washington, May 4. - Radical
changes to be made in the admins
tration railway bill as a result of con-
ferences will, in the opinion of many
Republicans, prolong the session of
congress. While progressives are
elated over the victory attained in
forcing the Aldrich organization to
eliminate from the measure certain
provisions that it was contended
would have broken down the Sherman
antitrust law and weakened the force
of the present rate act it is their prr-
pose to stand by and perfect the pend
ing measure as far as possible. AS a
result of a canvass of the senate, dis
closing that the bill could not be
passed in it's present form, it was de-
cided to throw sections Z, II, 1874
and Is overheard. Section proposed
to legalize traffic agreements; section
IL legalized railroad mergers in cases
where one road owned at least so her
cent of the stock of another; seclIons
13, Ia and Is of the bill provide a plan
for the regulation of the capitaliza-
tion of railroad corporations.
The hope of the leaders now is to
prevent the adoption of progressive
substitutes for the sections eliminated.
Little of Measure Remains.
With these sections gone all that re-
mains of the bill of substantial char
acter is the provision creating an in
terstate commerce court, the section
requiring railroads to quote rates cor
rectly to shippers, the section giving
the interstate commerce commission
power to initiate investigations on it's
own complaints and the section pro-
viding for a sixty-day suspension of
rates pending an investigation by the
commission into their reasonableness.
Sections and IL were bitterly as
sailed by the progressives. Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who has
steered clear of both factions in the
senate, declared in a speech that Sec
tion was nothing more or less than
an effort to exempt railroads from the
application of the antitrust law. Sen
ator Nelson announced that he would
not vote for the bill in it's present
form The lines were so tightly
drawn in the senate that the regular
leaders found they could not adopt
either section or II without the sup
port of the Minnesota senators. Ac.
cordingly these sections have been
thrown in the discard. AS sections
IS, IA and Is, relating to capitaliza-
ton, are interrelated with sections Z
and IL, they will also be abandoned.

LOSS FROM FIRE is HEAVY
Factory and Warehouse Burned at
Minneapolis.

Fire totally destroyed the factory
and warehouse of the North Side Sash
and Door company at Minneapolis,
entailing a loss estimated at about
$4,000, covered by insurance. Due
to the high wind the blaze was spec
tacular.
But for a strong northwest gale the
factory of the Bardwell-Robinson Sash
and Door company would also have
suffered, the wind, however, famed
the flames toward the river. The fac
tory was a seething furnace when the
fire department arrived and only by
hard work were the flames subdued
before reaching any of the lumber
piles in the yard. The origin of the
blaze is unknown.
