TELLS PLAIN TRUTH
AND IS REWARDED

PEKING, July 22.-One high Chi
nese officiai who disregarded the us
ual Chinese custom of evadIng the
issue has learned that straightfor-
wardness Is to be rewarded under
the new Chinese regime The off,
cial is the governor OF the province
OF Chen Kiang
He proved his merit by a report he
has just submitted to the prince re-
gent concerning the Tartar general
at Hang Chow.
The prince had heard that the gen.
eral was an opium smoker. and wrote
the governor to know whether the
report was true. Most Manchu Tar
tar officials are closely allied with
the royal family, but this did not awe
the governor who wrote that the gen.
eral had been an opium smoker. but
had promised to stop using the drug,
He reported. however. that the prom
4se amounted to little. as the general
turned over all Official matters to his
adjusant and the latter smoked opium.
Besides, the governor wrote. the gen.
eral sleeps most OF the day. so he can
do little Official business. even II he
Is so inclined.
SO pleased was the prince regent
with the governors resporse that ne
granted the request Of the governor
to stop lotteries In his province.

(By United Press LeaSsd WIre)
BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 31.-That
Secretary Ballinger is to be forced
out of the cabinet by bold poIit-
ical stroke is the report current
here today.
BaIIinger instead Of being white
washed by the congressional in
vestigating committee, will be Gen.
sured, it is declared, thus forcing
President Taft to ask for his resig-
nation.
The success of this plan, it is
declared, on the detection of con-
gressman Samuel w. Mccall of
Massachusetts from the majority
favoring eXoneration and the non
participation of Senator Elihu Root
of New York in the verdict. III the
plan works the committee will
stand six to five against BallinSer.
Senator Root was absent from
the hearings during the closing
days of the investigation. 1t Is
planned to diskualify him from vot-
ing because he did not hear the i'm
portant testimony that was pre-
sented Just before the committee
adjourned and did not hear the ar
gument in the case.
President Taft has refused to fol-
low the council of the politicians
who have urged that he ask his sec
retary of the interior to surren-
der his portfolio. The plans deem
the elimination Of Ballinger neces-
sary to insure success in the COM
ing election and have been seek
ing some plan to bring this about.
II Senator Root he disqualified and
Congressman Mccall votes against
Ballinger, the committee will stand
six to five in condemnation of the
secretary.

Idaho primary elections are
claimed to be somewhat In doubt
on the fight for the governorship,
but the best estimate this after
noon was that Governor Brady had
been nominated by 25,oo0 plurality.
Because many democratic voted

cratic choice for governor over

WALLACE Idaho, Aug. 31.-Un-
official returns from but eight out
of 26 Shoshone precincts give
O'Neil 623 first choice votes, Clag-
stone 1873, Brady 1872, and Fletcher
81. Fletcher has 1T second choice
votes.
Indications are that the count
will not be completed until late this
afternoon. One hundred O'Neil bal
lots were thrown out because no
second choice was voted.

the regular leaders were compelled
to admit that Burton F. French,
