washington, April 2.-Secretary Bal
llnger announced this afternoon that
he would, in due time, sue Golfers
Weekly on account of the publications
concerning him appearing in that pa
per in current issue headed Bal
linger, the Shyster," and accusing the
secretary of ''unpardonable breach of
professional dishonor" in connection
with the case at Seattle in 1904.
Ballinger said: For these ma
licious, villainous and untruthful at
tacks on me, of which this is simply
another chapter, 1 propose to bring
them to Justice
He added that if he lived long
enough Golfers would suffer all the
penalties the law would warrant.
THE ALLEGED OFFER.
Attorney Brandeis today at once
launched into the cross-examination
of Mr.. Love, who told of meeting John
w. Dudley, former register of the land
Office at Juneau, Alaska, last February
in a Juneau hotel. Dudley said he
had ''been let out" of his Office and
that Golfers Weekly had intimated to
him that ut would be worth from $5,-
600 to $4,000 for him to go to Wash
ington to testify" so Mr.. Love de-
clared.
do you mean that the weekly
meant to bribe him." asked Mr.. Madi-
son, of the committee.
mo, not to bribe him, but to pay
him." replied the witness.
You draw a whole lot finer dis
tinctions than have been able to do, -
retorted Mr.. Madison.
The committee pressed Mr.. Love
for details. The witness said he saw
Mr.. Dudley for not more than three
minutes, and that Dudley had ex-
pressed a desire to go to Washington
and testify for the "others side"
Love said Dudley wanted him to tell
Mr.. Ballinger. Of the offer, and that
Dudley had not accepted it, but de-
sired TO testify. for the other side. .
Mr.. Love said he did not tell Mr.. Bal
linger. as in the opinion of the wit
ness, Mr. Dudley had perhaps put a
wrong construction on the remark OF
the weeklys agent. Mr.. Dudley did
not tell him the agents name.
DO you think the weekly wanted
Dudley to come here to tell the
TRUTH" asked Mr.. Graham( Demo
crat.
Most assuredly," replied the wit
ness.
Mir. Love said Dudley's purpose in
going was to clear his record with
the department, as he had been dis
missed. The committee decided BY
unanimous vote to subpoena Mr.. Dud,
ley.

UNDERSTOOD THAT EVIDENCE
AGAINST THE YOUNG MAN,
WHO is THE YOUNGEST SON OF
JAKE JERNlGAN, SHOT TWO
WEEKS AGO, Is PURELY CIR.
CUMSTANTiAL.

Hampton Jernigan, youngest son OF
Jake Jernigan. who was shot two
weeks ago as he stood in his room.
was brought to the city yesterday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock. charged with
having been the person to shoot his
father. He was later released on a
bond OF $4,000, approved by the coun-
ty judge, by whom the warrant was
issued.
Jake Jernigan. who is a man past
middle age, "and with no enemies
known, was shot as he stood in his
room, the bullets passing through
Mr.. Jernigan, for whom grave fears
were entertained for a time, but who
is now recovering. The shooting eaus-
ed much excitement, and an inves-
tigation revealed that the party firing
the shots stood in the yard, partly
screened by some bushes, where he
fired five shots from an automatic
revolver, which had been stolen from
DR.. Fitzpatrick.
Sheriff Van Pelt, Chief Sanders and
a detective worked on the case. Two
negroes were arrested, but the Off
GERS at the time stated that the evil
dence against them was not at all
strong. Yesterday these men were
released,
Yesterday morning the sheriff, up
on procuring warrant, sent Deputy
Sheriff Abbott to Pine Barren with
instructions to arrest Hampton Jer-
nigan. This was done, the deputy re-
turning in the afternoon with the
young man In custody.
1t is the allegation that the young
man shot his father because he was
not beneficiary in the will of C. l..

Baker Jernigan and John Jernigan,
the two latter brothers, were all bene-
f1ciartes and Hampton was the only
one of the family who received moth

AND SUICIDE.
LATE THEORY
Further Investigation of the
Mystery of Child's Body
Found on Block.
BELIEF EXISTS IN SOME QUAR-
TIERS THAT DISTRESSED MOTH
Err AND CHILD HAVE MET WA
Terry GRAVES.

In the light of the. discovery of the
body of an infant on the beach near
the navy yard, and the report that a
naval tug crew saw what they thought
was the floating body of woman, Il
strong belief exists in some quarters
that a mother and child have both
met death in the water. 1t is a the
ory that the child and mother were
both Intentionally drowned. The the,
ory gained weight during yesterday
when the investigation was taken in
hand, and this will be one of the lines
which the coroner's jury will follow
should there be found grounds on
which to base suspicion.
Coroner Nicholson and Chas. John
son and Frank R. Pou, the undertak-
er, made a trip to the navy yard yes
terday morning and saw the body OF
the drowned child. They brought
what was left of the little body to the
city and it is now at the Pou under
taking shop. The features are so
emaciated that Identification will be
difficult.
Jury Ordered.
Coroner Nicholson ordered a jury
empanelled yesterday upon his return
to the city. w. c. Jones, foreman; :;
John O'Brien, ". J. Berry, j. A Kirk.
patrick, J. A. Fisher and T F. Ne
Neill compose the jury. They viewed
the body at the undertaking parlor
and then adjourned until next Frida '
at 10 O'Clock. In the meantime the
officers will attempt to fix the identi-
ty of the child, and will put before
the jury all evidence they may have.
1t is generally believed that there
will be a solution Of the mystery
when the jury returns on the case.
Officers Investigating.
City and county officers were on
the trail of the inhuman person or
epersons who are thought to have
sacrificed the life of the little one
to the waves for some untold reason.
In the afternoon. Secretary Hall, of
the Associated Charities, was drawn
into the investigation. Secretary Hall

child and the police believed tha,

with the abandonment and the drown.
ed child. One week ago the police
station received a message from soma
unnamed person, who did not give
her name, asking about child who
had been killed on West Romano
street No one ever knew just who
telephoned the first inquiry, but il
was followed by several ~others, all
from women. The captain of police
tried every way TO find out just where
the baby was supposed to have been
killed, and tried to tarce the source
of telephone messages, but gave it III
as bad job. The police all the timl
believed that there was some founda
tion for the successive inquiries.
In addition to the investigation be
ing conducted from the city, the nav
al officers are losing no time in try
ing to find whence came the little
body.
A physician who saw the body al

was no reasonable doubt about the

Smith was born in England Aug. %,
1928, and took up mis- residence in To-
ronto in 1871. A leader in the advanc-
ed thought of the world for many
years, his name has been connected
in the Dominion of Canada and in the
United States with the theory thai
Canada is ultimately destined 20
merge her political life in that of the
United States of America. During the
civil war in the United States he was
professor of modern history in Ok
ford university, England, and was an
active champion of the northern
cause The list of Professor Smith s
published works is very long and in
cludes volumes on modern and an
cient history. biography, philosophy,
literature and a wide range of other
subjects. Princeton university gave
him the degree of LIZ D. in 1896.
