 COMMITTEE.
It Is Also Probable That the Inquiry Will End This Season.

Washington. D. C.. Jan. 1.-The question as to whether witnesses in the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation shall be permitted to be represented by counsel. was practically decided to- day When a witness found himself accused of wrong doing he could not be denied an attorney.
 The joint senate and house commit tee therefore has given it out that former Forester Pinchot. who was dis missed from the government service by order of the president. will be en- titled to have lawyer present throughout the congressional hearing Secretary Ballinger likewise will be entitled to have an attorney present at all times.

PENDING THE REPORT
 On SW0PE'S STOMACH DETECTIVES WATCHING A PROM WENT SOCIETY MAN.
 N Kansas City Expectant of an Early
 Thrilling Sensation.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.-A quick ar rest will be made by the county off cials if the Chicago physicians now examining the stomach of the late Col Thomas H.. Swope report that that organ contained poison. Every detail for the apprehension of the man sus- pected of having poisoned Swope and of attempting to inoculate the other members of the family with typhoid germs. is completed. Five private de- tectives are watching every movement Of the man.
 They have been shadowing him for several weeks. The suspect is high in social circles here and his arrest would cause sensation. The prosecution, backed by the Swope estate. would precipitate a battle of millions.
 There was an unverified rumor cur rent tonight that traces of poison were found in the stomach of Chrisman Swope, a nephew of Co. Swope. who died on December 3, and that this led to the exhumation of Col. Swope's body The report on the condition of Col. Swope's stomach is expected early next week

Investigations into violations oi public land laws and prosecution oi land frauds have been vigorously con- tinued under my administration. as has been the withdrawal of coa lands for classification and valuation and the temporary withholding ol power sites.
 Since March 1. 1909. temporary with drawals of power sites have been made on 102 streams and these withdrawals therefore cover 229 per cent more stfeams than were covered by the withdrawals made prior to that date.
 The present statutes. except so far as they dispose of precious metals and purely agricultural lands, are not adapted to carry out the modern view of the best disposition of public lands to private ownership. under conditions offering. on the one hand sufficient inducement to private capital to take them over for proper development with restrictive conditions. and on the oth- CT. which shall secure to the public that character--of control which will prevent monopoly or misuse of the lands or their products.
 The power of the secretary of the interior to withdraw from the opera tion of existing statutes. tracts of land. the disposition of which under such statutes would be detrimental to the public interest. is not clear or satisfactory. This power has been ex- ercised in the interest of the public. with the hope that congress might af

 Unfortunately. congress has not, thus far. fully acted on the recom- mendations of the executive and the as to what the executive is to do, is, under the circumstances, full of difficulties. It seems to me that it is the duty of congress now. by

THE COTTON FURRY
 BROUGHT TO AN END
The Closing Hours Were the Most
 Exciting.

New York. Jan. 1.-The big bull campaign in cotton definitely col lapsed today with the most spectacular decline ever seen in week of cratic recessicns. At the low price today the New York contract showed declines of s5.20 to s5.60 a bale from the closing prices of the night previous.
 A much better feeling prevails in the trade tonight and it is thought that quieter market may be expected for the coming week. with prices more generally influenced by a legitimate demand and supply.
 After the official close May con- tracts changed hands at s1410 as com pared with S13.70. the low point of the day. The mark at which the bears are said to have taken over the bull hold ings is $13.50 for May.

ANOTHER InSTALLMENT
 OF PITTsBURG CHAPTERS
A HALF DOZEN ARRESTS MADE
 YESTERDAY.
Resulting From the Disclosures of a
 Year Ago.

Pittsburg, Jan. 14.@President E. H. Jennings and Vice President F. A. Griffin of the Columbia National bank; Max G. Leslie county delin- quent tax collector and former repub- lican city chairman; Charles Stewart. former councilman, and F. F. Nico- la. capitalist, were arrested today on warrants issued. They are charged with conspiracy to cause the selection of the Columbia National bank as the city depository.
 In addition, Leslie is charged with perjury. Another information alleges that for two years he made business of soliciting the aid of councilmen to influence legislation. All gave bail.
 The charges resulted from the graft scandals of 1908, when it was brought out that the councilmen had been paid money to vote for six Repositories. Of- ficers of other banks who were found guilty had taken an appeal to the su- perior court, and the present cases had been halted. As. no decision seemed likely until March whea the statute of limitations would have ex- empted those arrested today. the dis trict attorney took summary action.
 It is charged in the writs that in May. 1908, Stewart, the councilman, solicited from Griffin s17.000 for his vote in favor of an ordinance that au- thorized the Columbia National bank as depository. It is also charged that Nicola instigated this move on the part of Stewart. Griffin is charged with conspiracy to defraud the city by corrupting members of the city coun- cil. and it is further charged that he promised certain members S25.000 for their votes in favor of the ordinance.
 Leslie is charged with receiving s22.- 500 to influence councilmanic votes.
