SMALLER PAY FOR FARRELL
New Head of Steel Trust viii Get
Half That Paid Corey.

New York, Jan. 19.-After a spell
OF close figuring James A. Farrell, the
new president of the United States
Steel corporation, has decided he can
live on $4,000 year and will accept
this salary from the steel trust, de-
spite the fact that it is a cut of $50, 900
from the salary paid his predecessor,
William e. Corey.
Considering the fact that Judge
Gary is the real head of the steel
trust and receives salary of 500, 900
the finance committee decided that
the nominal head of the concern was
not entitled to more than half that
amount and the cut was made forth

FLORIDA Member OF Upper House Says
Secretary of the interior Has Been
Inclined to Place Private Above
Public interest Condemns His
Methods and His Administration of
Land Office Affairs.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Admitting
that no question of criminal guilt has
been involved in the charges against
Secretary Ballinger, Senator d. U.
Fletcher (Dem., Fla.), a member OF
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating
committee, addressed the senate in
support of the Purcell resolution de-
claring that the secretary should no
longer be retained in office.
Studying the secretary's own testi-
mony we are pressed to the conclu-
sion" said Mr.. Fletcher, that the re-
sponsible functions, the chief powers
as well as the work-other than de-
tail, such as seeing callers and sign
ing letters which were not read-seem
to have been placed on subordinates
and employees. There has been lack
ing the constant presence of a guild
ing, directing, forceful head, fully
meeting and appreciating the larger
responsibilities of the office.
"But for few subordinates who
have had experience there would be
decentralization in the department and
now there appears thousands of cases
which have been pending for years
the appropriation by congress March
IA, 1909, of S1,000,000 to bring up the
work.
'The removal of those who have
been unwilling to act as fawning
sycophants or play the role of servile
interests, the peoples property, the
country's resources, did not meet the
trouble or overcome the difficulties.
The trouble was with the head of the
department"
In further indictment of the secre-
tary he said:
CLAWS Charges Not Imaginary.
after considering the whole record
we must believe the derelictions men-
toned by CLAWS were real, not imag-
mary.
THAT the present secretary of the
interior is not the man best fitted for
the office he holds.
"That his conduct and associations
and influences justly aroused sus-
picion; that he has been and is in
clined to favor private interests rather
than care for those of the public
"That while no corruption is shown
1t can scarcely be said that he is
guiltless of official wrongdoing of a
nature warranting criticism.
THAT he was not in sympathy with
the advocates of conservation as de-
fined by the president and his prede-
cessor and by indirection and more or
less deception he set about doing that
cause serious injury.
THAT he has been unfaithful both
to the public, whose property he had
endangered, and to the president, who
he has deceived
Secretary Ballinger's methods we
cannot approve-they are the ordinary
methods of the boss in politics.
"His administration we cannot en-
dorse-it is the form of administration
we'll recognized as of the machine
stamp.
"His standards of official conduct
and public duty we must condemn
they are the ideals of the professional
politician which lead to traffic in pub
lie office"
