NOT BALLINGER BUT
NEWELL TO GO OUT
This Is Rumor That Follows Confer
ence of Secretary of Interior
With President Taft.

Beverly, Mass, July 6.-The reorgan-
ization of the reclamation service was
discussed by President Taft and Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger at a three
hour conference here yesterday. AL
though no official information could be
obtained, IT was freely reported in Bev-
erly that the future plans for reclama-
ton work do not include the retention
of Frederick H. Newell as the director
of that service. Mr. Ballinger would
not discuss this phase of the situation
in any way. 1t is known, however.
that the secretary long has regarded
Mr.. Newell as inimical to his plans for
the reclamation service. Mr.. Newell
has openly opposed Mr.. Ballinger and
Mr.. Ballinger in turn has publicly de-
clared that he does not regard Mr.
Newell as the man for the place he oc-
cupies. Just when and how Mr. Newell
is to go could not be learned.

N. E. A. DELEGATES TOLD
Farmer, However, Without Special
Education in Work Is on way
to Poor House.

Boston, July 6-That the boy who
wants to learn to dig ditch, harness
a horse, or milk a COW, would go In
vain to the colleges Of agriculture, DICK
]. Crosby of Washington, D. c., spe-
cialist in agricultural education, told
the department of rural agricultural
education of the National Educational
association convention today. He said
the colleges teach theory only.
Professor Arren of Cornell university
expressed the opinion that the farmer
without agricultural education is head
ed for the poor house.
Hear E. E. Brown.
Boston, July 6-The second of the
important general meetings Of the Ma
tional Educational association was
held last evening, fremont temple be-
ing crowded with teachers anxious to
hear United States Commissioner of
Education Elmer E Brown and to pay
tribute to a distinguished worker in
the cause of education, the late DR..
William Torrey Harris.
The meeting was presided over by
President James Y. Joyner. Commits
sioner Browns topic was "a Message
From the United States Bureau of
Education" and was an appeal to
teachers throughout the country to
give their best thought and effort to
the development of their profession.
The address in memory of DIR. Harris
was made by Jane NJ Greenwood of
Kansas City.
Football and PugiIism Hit.
Denouncing college football as a
combination of pure brutality and
pugilism that appealed to the love of
the sordid, David Starr Jordan, presi=
dent of Leland Stanford university,
led in the discussion that followed a
report made yesterday by the commit
tee on moral education in public
schools.
Some day the college presidents
and school heads of this country will
perhaps be called cowardly and brutal
because they did not put stop to the
dangers of football, a sport that de-
stroys the best there is in American
youth
The game, he continued, aroused
the same love of the sordid that
focused the interest of the country in
"a ring away out in far Nevada, where
a black man and a white man were
pounding each other yesterday.
No intelligence is required in the
game Of FOOTBALL" he asserted.
"Blacksmiths and boilermakers can
play the game as well as men of the
finer intellects; in fact, they are con-
sidered the best raw material for the
game"
President Jordan favored the sub
stitution of the English game of rugby.

We got our old lawn mower out,
But it would hardly run a bit,

And there was pa-his Sunday pants
Looked like he'd taken them to wipe
A engine with; he'd tore his shirt
And bit the stem from off his pipe;
He kicked the thing an hurt his corn,
Then run and got the ak, and-wow!

Advisory Committee Busy-Oklaho'
ma Banker Sees Clash With
/ State Guaranty Law.

Washington, July 6.-The advisory
committee of seven appointed by the
trustees of the postal savings banks
met yesterday and divided into sub
committees in order more expeditions
ly to arrange the preliminaries for the
establishment of the postal banks. A
vast amount of detailed work must be
disposed of by Secretary Weed before
the trustees will be ready to consider
such formalities as the adoption of
forms for the various blanks, pass
books, deposit cards and other printed
material which must be in the hands of
postmasters before the banks can be
opened.
Trustees Meet Later.
AS soon as the advisory committee
has made some Roadway the board Of
trustees will meet to receive recon-
mendations and assist in mapping out
work. While these essential details
are being disposed of the department
continues to hear from postoff1ces and
banks, receiving from the former re-
quests for the establishment of postal
savings banks and from the latter re-
quests for the deposit of a part of the
postal funds.
Ban on Pictures of Cards
At the request of Secretary Weed of
the postal bank trustees, an informal
opinion has been rendered which holds
that any newspaper printing pictures
of the deposit cards to be issued by
postmasters will be guilty of violating
the laws against counterfeiting and
will be liable to prosecution.
Commercial organizations are begin
ming to take hand in the establish
ment of the banks. The board of trade
of Port Arthur, Texas, has petitioned
the postoffice department for the es-
tablishment of a postal savings bank
there.
Oklahoma Banker Gleeful.
A banker in Oklahoma has written
the department urging that postal
banks be established in his state. He
has a selfish interest, according to lis
own statement. anticipating great pleas
ure in watching the operation of the
banks in connection with the state
guaranty law, to which he is much OPP
posed. In substance he says that If
the people of the state demand a guar
anty, that of the federal government
should be more satisfactory than that
of the state government, and, therefore,
he predicts that the state savings
banks will be greatly affected by the
competition of the postal savings
banks.
Several applications already have
been received from patrons who would
serve the government by accepting APP
pointments in postal savings banks.
Most of them come from men who have
had banking experience.

attitude toward the Taft administra-

striking indication of his present
frame of mind. And that he will
still fight hard for the conservation
movement which he inaugurated
while in office he made plain to in
reviewers when Mr.. Poindexter had
gone. There have been two import
ant ''insurgent conferences" at Saga
more hill since the colonel's return,
but more are coming. One of the
most potential of these is arranged
for Thursday next. On that day five
of the best known and weightiest of

their names.

Miles Poindexter is an out and out
insurgent whom the people of the
state of Washington elected on a
radical platform. He has been a
firm supporter of Roosevelt policies,
especially as relate to conservation,
which was the basis of his platform
when he ran for congress. He ar
rived at Oyster Bay on the noon

an insurgent. For he had the same
