President Says History
Does Not Record Another
Conspiracy of Like Char
acter Against Official.
WALfERL FISHER
IS GIVEN THE POST
Chicago Man, Friend of Gif-
ford Pinchot, Succeeds to
Secretaryship Of the In
terror Department.

| Washington, D. c., March 7.-Rich'
ard A. Ballingers resignation as secre'
tary Of the interior, dated January ~,
last, was accepted today by President
Taft, and Walter l.. Fisher of Chicago
was appointed as mis- successor. Mr.
Fisher will take office within a few
days.
Secretary Ballinger rendered his re-
signation in a letter dated January 10,
basing it entirely upon the condition
of his health. The president replied
at once expressing his confidence IN
Secretary Ballinger; his reluctance to
accept his resignation and requested
the secretary to remain in ONCE until
the close Of the session of congress.
Immediately upon the adjournment
of congress, Secretary Ballinger re-
newed his request that he be relieved
at date suitable to the presidents
convenience, but Immediately II pos
sible Today President Taft in a let
ter formally accepted the resignation.
Taft Defends Ballinger's Record.
The correspondence between the
president and the secretary is not
voluminous but displays beyond ques-
ton the confidence which Mr.. Taft
has reposed in Mr.. Ballinger through
out the long seige and the promptness
with which he protected attacks up
on the secretary's personal and official
integrity. Il have the fullest oppor-
tunity," the president says, in his let
ter accepting the resignation, TO
know you, to know your standards OF
service to the government and the pub
lie, to know your motives, to know
how you have administered your Of
Ace and to know the motives Of those
who have assailed you. I do not hest
tate to say that you have been the OBJ.
ject of one Of the most INSCRIPTIONS
conspiracies for the defaming of char
acter that history can show"
And in the conclusion of his letter
the president declares that every
fibre ofimy nature rebels against such
hypocrisy (referring to the attacks up.
on Ballinger's character) and 1t nerves
me to fight such condition and such
methods to the bitter end, lest success
in this instance may form a democrat
izing precedent. But personal consid-
Grafton for you and yours makes me
feel that l have no right to ask you
for further sacrifice
The president goes on to declare 1t
was he that was the ultimate object OF
the attack and says that to insist upon
Mr.. Ballingers remaining in office
with the prospects of further efforts
against you, is to selfshly impose on
you more of burden than l ought to
impose"
The Presidents Heated Letter.
The presidents letter Of acceptance
will be quoted first, as the logical
climax of the correspondence 1t is
a sweeping and uncompromising de-
claration Of faith in Mr.. Ballinger's
persona character and motives and in
his of1icial integrity and competence.
1t was written this morning and is as
follows:
