Mr. Vertreea began br askfng the Itnaaa what there waa of his own personal knowledge barring all hear say. Inference, and conclusion, which showed official, misconduct on thw part of Mr. Balltnger a a secretary or Commissioner in reference to lands in Alaska. Mr. Pinchot replied that his knowl ?*? of Bellinger' a conduct with ref erence to coal lands in- Alaaka cafne to him principally through the state ments of^others, including Mr. Bal 11 nger himself. Pressed Tor a more direct answer Mr. Pinchot asked permission to re fer to a list of charges which he had prepared against Mr. Ballinger. This permission waa granted and alter ex amining his papers, Mr. Pinchot said his 'first-hand knowledge of Mr. Bal llnger'a conduct in the matter of the coal claima was contalned~ln Mr. Bel linger's letter of November jg tp the President. This letter Mr. Pinchot contended deceived the President. Mr. Vetrees then took up Mr. Pln chot's "reprimand" of Price and 8ha^r, which the attorney referred to aa "solemn and painful" on the part Of Mr. Pinchot. "Tell us," said Mr! Vetrees, "what you did in that connection." I called 'Mr. Price in," replied Mf Pinchot, "and aaked him to describe what he had done and what Shaw had done. He did so at some length. I told him his action was not defensi ble from the point of view of rela tions between the departments and I did not approve of it. I administered J to him a reprimand and it extended [to Mr. Shaw, wboee activity waa that THE GKM THEATER. . The show at the Gejn theater last night was far above the average given at this theater.

The fua&y P?rt about It all la that those who studied the hardeat fall soonest to the coatest, and today It ta.aot dlfllcult to locate the disgruntled. Such words as "dorsal" (tbe edi tor's), "Inthrallment" (the report er'?), "molasses" (tbe orof easor's ) . "Indorsement" (the lawyer's), "com modious." etc.. were nriseed as clear aa a mile. Tbe guilty partlcf were such well known papple as Superintendent Na than Newbold, tbe baad of the Waah lngton Public Schoola; Alonzo Du may, cashier First National Bank; Jlmmte Mayo, editor of the Dally News, and many others. All of those who were sent to tbe foot of tbe class last night are now wondering how It happened, but as the schoolmaater In timated, the old faahloned way of spelling was the rule, of the evening, and not tbe Roosevelt form.

After they .had taken thslr places the masten- gave notice that a fine of 25 cenys would he charged against any girl whoiw name was called and failed to respond, and a fine of 60 cents against the boys. It was also announced ? that *when the first supply .was exhausted freeh re cruits would be called. The first class was composed of the following: Elisabeth Betts. Katie Bonner, ' Annie Jariva, Mrs. W. R. Bright," Ida Grimes, Elizabeth War-j ren, Cora Hodges, Lillian Campbell, Francis Dally, Junie Grimes, Johnnie' Arthur, Jlmmle Mayo, Henry Sea-! right, Llndsey. Warron, Nathan New- ' bold, Walton Carter /jbHanie McLean and Henderson 8nell. Henderson was delegated as head of the class and was given the op portunity of opening the ball, and he did it like a veteran. We can't say whether he had been preparing him self or not, but the first word given him he squared himself and struck it right between the eyes. His success In mastering the word brought forth loud applause. In a few minutes such words as lethargy, sorcery. Imagery, emery, dorsal, lnthrallment, were given at a rapid fire rate and the number in the class had noticeably diminished. This state of things! seemed to please the schoolmaster! very much. Notwithstanding the' good deportment of the claaa the schoolmaster did not talce any chaaoes, hut kept his long switch of the peach variety firmly in his gr*bp ? this precaution for any cause of emergency aa to misunderstanding, etcy Soon the word "enamor" waa^ gtftn.

I never expected 'you* to mlas that word." But Henry seemed to protest. For a moment he could not balleve hi k ears. "Enamor?" Why of course the proper way to spell that word la "en amour." But the master told Henry he was confining himself to the Blue Back, and hence was sorry tof inform him he was wrong. The speller re tired amid cheers, and rumor aaya he le still thinklag how It was 'done. "Spoil dorsal, JlaaUa." thqiiderad th? taachar.

DIE CAST All Efforts at Arbitration by the Workmen Hu Ho Far Been Refused. ? . Philadelphia. Pa., Match 5. ? Be tween 50.000 and 75,O0O union work ers are on strike, one hundred differ ent branches of industry arc affected and a renewal of rioting in which two men w^ce shot is the situation which confronts Philadelphia towards day light. The sympathetic strike which was called by the Central Labor Union and the Allied Building Trifties Coun cil in an effort to foree the' Philadel-, phla RapiQ; Transit Company to ar bitrate the differences with its strik ing employes, ,is in full swing. The labor .bea^frs' claim it will gather force, /*" ? The police "are apprehensive as to the outcome. With thousands of men idle, forced to quit their usual vocations as their leaders allege, be cause of the obstinacy of the officials of the Rapid Transit Company, It will be an easy matter to fan the spark of discontent into a flame of law lessness. The night's rioting, the most se rious of which occurred in Kensing ton mill districts, Is looked upon by | th^ police officials as the forerunner of what may be expected Saturday. Director Clay, however, has no hesi tancy in declaring that he haa enough 1 men at his copmand to crush, any uprising. The Rapid Transit Company stated that every effort will be made to maintain trolley service. Cars will be dispatched from all bams, they state, at as near regular Intervals as possible, and will be increased if po lice. protection Ib given. Men are Just as llckle as women, but they have fewer opportunities to show off. OAIKTY TONIGHT.
