AGAIN AFTER
BALL|NCER
RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED IN
THE SENATE BY Mr..
PURCELL.
ASKS FOR HIS REMOVAL
SAYS SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL
IN DUTY.

Washington.-Senator Purcell, Dem
ccrat, of South Dakota, introduced a
resolution in the Senate declaring
Richard A. Ballinger to be an unfaith-
ful public servant and declaring it the
sense of the Senate that he should no
longer remain in office as secretary
OF the Interior. Purcell was a minority
member of the Ballinger-Pinchot in
vestigating committee, and he said
that his resolution was based upon the
evidence of L. r. CLAWS and Clifford
Pinchot before the committee. Purcell
supported the Democratic report GEN.
suring Ballinger. His resolution was
as follows:
Whereas, on the 10Th day of Janu-
cry, 1910, joint resolution was
adopted by the Senate and House of
Representatives for the purpose of in
vestigating the action and conduct
Of the interior department and it's

ployes, and of the bureau of forestry
III the department of agriculture,
with directions to the committee ap-
pointed to make such investigation
and report to this Congress the evil
dence taken and the committee find
ings and conclusions thereon, and
Whereas, The committee appointed
to make such investigation has con-
cluded it's labors and has reported the
evidence taken, and also the findings
and conclusions thereon made and
reached by the members of said COM
rtittve, and
Whereas, There is a disagreement
among the members of said commit
sions which should be drawn fran

said committee, therefore
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Senate that the findings and con-
clusions reported by certain members
Ct said committee to the effect that
Richard A. BallingCr, secretary of the
interior, has not been true to the trust
reposed in him as such secretary; that
he is not deserving of public conf
dence and should no longer be re-
tanned in that office, are based upon
end in substantial conformity with the
evidence reported by the committee"
At Purcells request the resolution
was read and laid on the table. Sena-
tor Hale manifested anxiety as to
what was intended, but did not pur-
sue his inquiries when he found that
no immediate action was contem-
plated.

Big BattIeships Being Built.

London.-While the press of the
world is shouting for peace and Sena-
tor Root and his colleagues are working
out plan to spend Andrew Carne-
gie's $10,000,000 peace fund, figures
obtained from the British naval
authorities recently show that 1911
will break all records for battleship
launchings and naval activities. These
figures show that every nine days,
from February to December 31st, a
new dreadnaught will take the water
in some part of the globe. In other
words, thirty-six dreadnaughts will be
launched this year, or only two less
than the total number afloat. In addi-
ton, innumerable cruisers, torpedo
boats, destroyers, submarines, etc,
will be launched by all the big pow
ers. Great Britain alone will send
sixty-one of these war craft into the
water.

The Cape to Cairo Railway.

The last section of the Cape to Cal
TO railway from the north, viz, from
Khartum to Wad Madani about 100
miles, was opened on January 1, and
the traffic during the first half years
working has surpassed all expecta-
tions.
The amount of produce secured
from this new section has been a reve-
lation to every one. The freight re-
turns for the first months working
were $4,000. From most parts of the
Sudan hitherto served by the railway
one or two train loads a week would
be considered good. On this new Sec
ton train every day has hardly been
sufficient to carry down all the stuff,
chiefly durra (native CORN, gum and
cotton. The fourth class native pas
senger traffic has produced almost
enough to pay the working expenses
of the section.
This Is the first portion of the rail-
way to leave the desert part of the
Sudan and break into the edge Of the
land naturally fertile without artificial
irrigation. II the success of this first
100 miles is any index 10 the posi-
1iiities Of the rest OF the country TO

dead. Senator Hughes passed away
at his home in Denver, surrounded by
the members of his family and few
close friends. His death was like the

passed from state of coma almost

said quietly, HE is dead" did the

had closed. Hard work was the chief
cause of death. No man ever drove

Hughes. By laborious effort, nimble-
ness of intellect, sound learning and
the power of personality, Senator
Hughes had made himself one of the
most conspicuous lawyers in the West.

PEACE FOR THE ENGINEERS

Principles and Intelligence of
Labor Organization.

The Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers has the reasonableness and
self-control of great strength and high
intelligence. 1t does not talk lightly
OF strike. 1t means a tremendous
struggle when such an organization
grapples with the rich and vast COM
mon carrying corporations which move
the bulk of the country's merchandise
and carry most of its passengers. The
engineers court no such ordeals If they
can gain the ends they seek, In any
fair degree, without industrial war.
Because they are slow to strike and
quick to consider compromise condi-
tlons, when trouble seems near, the
deadlock between the brotherhood and
many of the great railroad companies
IN the west became extremely menac-
ing when it appeared that neither side
would yield enough for an amicable
agreement. The strain grew so Sc
we're that break was imminent, and
the whole country knew that If it
came it would be a grave disaster
But at the last moment peace was
arranged, and the darkest cloud which
has gathered in the business sky for
many months has blown over. 1t will
give the American people more cour-
age for the new year and higher hopes
of extraordinary prosper ity, and the
settlement reached Will go far toward
insuring like agreements in case of
similar disputes. Leader.

1t might be supposed that in de-

such doors in large numbers as auto
mobile cars are now required would
have involved great loss of time in

PennsyIvania's New Pension Plan.

EcHHSylNdnidS 5 NEW FcnSlOn Plan.
Employees of the Pennsylvania rail-
road are greatly interested in the ac-
ton to be taken on a new pension plan
which, 1t is reported, is being worked
out at the general offices in Philadel-
phia. If the new system is approved
by the railroad management it will
result in a considerable shake-up
among the employees, retiring all of
the men over sixty or sixty-five years
of age, instead of over seventy as at
present
The new system calls for voluntary
retirement at the age of sixty years
and compulsory retirement of all
who reach the age of seventy years in
service. This would enable the men
to retire five and ten years sooner
than the present plan, and it Is said it
would affect about eight per cent. Of
the employees.
