BALLINGER WINS IN
FIGHT OVER PAPERS
Committee Refuses TO Allow
Opposition to Have
Documents.

Washington, D. c., April 30.-The Bal
linger- Pinchot committee today denied
attorney Brandeis's request for the
original draft of attorney general
Wickersham's summary of the CLAWS
charges and other papers bearing on it
Before Balinger resumed the stand
the committee gave Brandeis Is min
utes o speak on his request for infor-
nation on the attorney generals sum
mary.
Vertrees was given Is minutes to re-
ply to Brandeis and said the informa-
ton was most important, to determine
whether steps had been taken after the
dismissal Of CLAWS to make appear
proper that " hich had not been right.
Vertrees said it is no longer a Ques-
ton of Ballinger but is directed at per-
sons connected with the president,
prompted by resentment against Gar
field and Pinchot.
Request Refused.
The committee then refused the re-
quest but if suoordinates of Ballinger's
office have any information as TO the
preparation of the summary, CLAWS is
TO have it
BaIInger was called to the stand just
before adjournment for lunch.
Referring to the time when he be-
came secretary of the interior. Ballinger
said he had burned all his bridges be-
hind him, dissolved his law firm and
severed all connections with corpora
tions."
BaIIinger Did Not Change Mind.
Mr. Vertrees asked Mr.. Ballinger TO
explain whether, as charged by CLAWS,
he had changed his mind over night
about asking attorney general Wicker
sham for an opinion as to the proper
of the law of May s, after
he had promised to do so at a confer
ence with CLAWS, commissioner Bennett
and chief of field division Schwartz
CLAWS feared assistant secretary Pierce,
to whom the secretary had referred the
matter for an opinion, might so construe
the law as to validate the Cunning
ham claims.
Mr.. Ballinger said he had not prom
ised to ask the attorney general for
an opinion, but did so subsequently. He
said he spoke to Mr. Wickersham after
a cabinet meeting and that the latter
told him Claws already had appealed
to him for an opinion on the ground
that it was necessary for his, tBal-
linger) protection as lit would place
me in a somewhat delicate position to
require my department to pass on it"

The Useful Side Pocket.

Housekeepers will appreciate a gift
OF side pocket to be worn about the
morning tasks. So equipped, a demand
for purse or key does not mean a trip
UP stairs or wild search.
While leather pockets can be bought
for such uses they do not quite fill the
need for house wear, as they flop
around and rub the skirt,
4 pocket such as tailors wear, but
more artistic, will prove convenient.
This Is made Of heavy. smooth cloth
IN envelope shape, and stitched on the
machine. Cut strip of cloth twelve
inches long and Ave inches wide. Fold
up the end to the depth OF two and
ore-eighth inches from top to MAKE
the pocket. Slope the edge beyond the
pocket into point like the flap of an
envelope. This point is provided with
buttonhole to fasten to the belt.
The pocket part should have but
IONS and buttonholes or patent clasps
along the upper edge. Though deep
enough not to drop the contents, it is
often convenient to close the top
when working actively.
The edges OF the bag may be finish
ed in several ways. When making it
Tor ones own use the edges may be
pinked, and the turned up parts stitch
ed on the machine. When intended as
a gift elaboration is preferred. If
pinking is liked, line OF briar stitch.
Ing can be run around the bag with
In the line of pinklng. This can be
worked in a contrasting color, and a
monogram in the same color can be
embroidered in the centre.
again, the edges can be neatly
bound with heavy satin ribbon or a
frs silk braid. This usually looks
better in self tones, the monogram he

To Perfume the Hair.

One of the latest aids to beauty is
the perfumed nightcap. This is very
much like the cap worn by our grand
mothers, but on a much more elabo
rate scale, being made Of silk or very
fine muslin, trimmed with filmy lace,
Cunningly concealed in the cap is a
tiny receptacle for scent, and when
worn 1t leaves delicate perfume

essarily be kept for night wear alone;
il it Is put on for half an hour or so
before dinner the perfume will cling
to the hair for the remainder of the

High Prices for Dairy Product.

Tho following is a statement is
sued by the Dairy Division, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. with ref
erence to butter fat prices received
by farmers in the Middle Northwest
during 1907. which Is of interest
DO our readers:
There are approximately s.oeo
sreameries in the United States,
making a total OF 100000, 900
pounds of butter annually. The

to 3 cents higher in 1907 than IN
1906. This w.uld inQIc&ts an in

Something over a thousand cream
cries, mainly in the Middle North
west, have reported tho results of
the past years business to the De-
partment of Agriculture. These re-
ports are nearly all from sections
where the local creamery (either
cooperative or Individually predomi-
mates. Careful estimates have been
made from these reports which
shows that the net price paid far
mers for butter fat ~ these cream
cries averaged between 28 ind 30
cents for the year 1907. The low
est price paid was in June. when the
average was between "a and 25
cents.
These rices are true only for the
local creamery, which receives it's
cream or milk direct from the far

nor freight or expresses charges for

ehurning points may expect to re-
ceive to cents less per pound for
butter fat than prices paid by local
