President Taft, in a letter, formally
dNtCpNSu tue Isl IdllOu.
The correspondence between the
president and the secretary is ont yOIu-
minOus, but il sets forth beyond ques-
ton the confidence which Mr.. Taft has
reposed in Mr.. Ballinger throughout
the long siege and the indignation
with which he has viewed the attacks

Il have had the fullest opportunity"
the president says in his letter ac-
cepting the resignation, TO know you,
to know your standards of service to
the government and the public, to
know your motives, to know how you
have administered your office and to
know the motives of those who have

And in the conclusion of his letter
the president declares that every
fiber of my nature rebels against such
hypocrisy referring to the attacks
upon B%allinger's character) and nerves
me to fight such a combination and
such methods to the bitter end, lest

The president goes on to declare
that it is evident he has been himself
the ultimate object of the attack and
says that to insist upon Mr.. Ballinger's
remaining in Office with the prospects
Of further efforts against you, is sell
fishly to impose on you more of a
burden than l ought to impose"

THOUSANDS DIE IN China
MILLION WILL PERISH BEFORE
FIRST CROP is HARVESTED.
pIaaIe Carrying OF 200 Daily, ane
the People Are Help
less.

Pekin. China. - Famine and thu
nIague are sweeping over China
The known deaths from the plague
number 10000 and, according to the
official statistics, the death rate aver
ages 200 daily. But the officials have
litrle knowledge of the conditions II
the interior, or, if they have, they are
no permitting the facts to be known
There are few or no foreigners in the
interior and conditions there for this
reason are not attracting much public
attention. 1t is impossible even &c
estimate the number Of deaths. DR.
Samuel Co~chrane, an American who Is
engaged in the work of relief, writes:
"One million people will die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty. because the people have not
the strength to till the soil, and nc
animals remain for blowing"
The Chinese are directing their Ell
forts to control the plague chiefly
along the railways and frontiers, for
political reasons. Since the recent
Russian request for permission to
cross the border and quarantine Chin
csc towns along the Amur, China has
been attempting to check the plague
along that frontier, but the Russian
legation says that this has been lone
inefectively, because there are no doc.
tors there who are familiar with mod
orp m nf caOit9fiOn
Foreigners Mistrusted.
Local authorities, including the po.
lice and soldiers, in former epidemics
left the people to die; now they do not
care or do not know how to maintain
adequate sanitary measures. Al
though the central government has
issued explicit orders and many OF
them, both supplies and funds are
lacking. Japanese and Russians have
both offered assistance, but only in a
few places have these offers been &C.
cepted, the Chinese not liking to re-
ceive favors from foreigners, whose
political motives they distrust.

warm weather will kill the germs, al
though this may bring only a tenn
porary respite. If the plague were of
the bubonic type, the summer heat
would serve to augment it, bubonic be-
ing conveyed by fleas, rats and other
vermin, which thrive in arm atmos-
pheric conditions.
The pneumonia type, on the other
hand, is transmitted through the res
piratory apparatus, and as a conse-
quence when the Chinese emerge from
their winter quarters into the open air
they will escape much contamination.
1t is said by the medical authorities
that such an epidemic as the present
one, which is entirely pneumonia, has
not visited the world since the middle
ages.

Leavenworth, Kansas.-After spend
Ing nearly six years in the teder
al prison here, Frank G.. BigeloW
the Milwaukee banker, was released
The recommendation of the parole
board, which was in session here two
weeks ago, has been approved by AT
torney General Wickersham and Bige
low will leave as soon as the final prep
arations for his departure a be
made. He will go directly to Milwau'

Frank G. Bigelow was committed to
penitentiary Jan. II, 1905, to serve
a ten-year sentence for misuse OF
POUNDS of the First National Bank OF
Milwaukee, of which he was presi
dent.
Must Report Monthly.
His sentence would have expired
February II, 1912, as communication is
accorded prisoners for good behavior
at the rate of ten days for each month.
Although at liberty outside the prison
walls, Biglow will be required to re-
port monthly to the parole of the
prison until the end of his committed
sentence time, which he will be finally
discharged.
While in the ~penitentiary Bigelow
has maintained a perfect record for
complying with prison discipline. He
has been employed in the census de-
partment, with Offices IN the special
agents department. Each day it has
been his duty to make the rounds OF
the penitentiary and keep a record of
the prisoners, learn the state of their
health and to obtain other information
for that department.
His health has not been materially
affected by his Imprisonment and
about the only change to be noted in
his appearance, is that his hair has
turned gray.
History Of the Case.
Milwaukee, Wis, March 4.-Frank
G. Bigelow was arrested on April 20,
1905, charged with the embezzlement
of $1,200,000 from the funds of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee. He
was Immediately admitted to bail in
the sum of $4,000 and turned over all
of his property to the officials of the
bank.
The next day he admitted that his
debts eyre $4,000, 900 and on April %,
the Wisconsin Trust and Security com
pany was named as receiver.
In his statement of liabilities and
assets on April % he claimed that his
liabilities were $3,327,0 Doc and his as.
sets but $1,S49, 500, of which he said
that $4,000 was exempt under the law.
On June IL, 1905, the federal grand
jury brought in an idictment on one
count. Bigelow pleaded guilty imme.
diately. One hour and a half after
his sentence he was on his way to
~Leavenworth.
A feature Of the defalcation was the
fact that although it was one of the
largest ever uncovered, the ~depositors
did not lose, the stockholders making
good the amount.
