Pinchot-Ballinger Controversy on
ConservatioHj
letter of pinchot
Quarrel Over Conservation of Natural
Resources Has precipitated CHiite a^
Stir Among the Law-nfiakers at
Washington. ,
Washington.—The Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy was doubly intense by
the reading in the senate of a letter
addressed by Mr. Pinchot to Senator,
Dolliver, in which the course adopted
by L. B. Glavis, with the assistance
of Messrs. Price and Shaw, of the
bureau erf forestry, was warmly ap-
pA)ved. In this communication the
chief forester not only upheld the
criticism of Secretary Ballinger, but
suggested that the president himself
had been mistaken in the facts when
he removed from the public seFVice
Mr. Glavis.
Hale Rebukes Pinchot.
Mr. Pinchot’s letter called Mr. Hale
to his feet with a severe rebuke to
the chief forester for having Ignored
a recent order by the president dl-
m
I GIFFORD PINCHOT.
recting- that no subordinate officer
should give information concerning
affairs of the government except to
his superior officers. He also sug*-
S'ested that the adoption of this course
tended to forestall and prejudice pub
lic opiniom in relation to the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy.
Preceding this incident. Senator
Jones’ joint resolution for an inves
tigation of the interior department
and of the forestry bureau was refer
red to the committee on public lands,
but the reference was not made un
til after considerable discussion on a
resolution by Senator Newland in
structing the committee on public
lands to report within two weeks re
commendations for legislaticm putting
into effect Secretary Ballinger’s re
commendations made in his last an-
iiual report for the conservation of
national resources. Senator New*
land’s resolution also was referred
tcf the committee on public lands.
In the senate Mr.' Pinchot’s ' letter
caused a genuine sensation. '
More Than $23,000,000 Invested In
New Loonrnr and Spindles for 1910.
Baltimore.—That the Southern cot>
ton manufacturing industry. had 4
steady advance during 1909 is einpha-
sized by a review by the Manufac
turers’ Record of plans for new mills
and the enlargement of established
plants during the.year. Cotton manu
facturers of the South are realizing
more and more'''the possibilities of
their section for tetxile milling, and
their fre<|uent annoancemen.ti5 of ad
ditions to spindles and looms prove
their faith In th«^ future of the indus
try. Moreover, not only Soruthern
mill managers, but also those of New
England and other parts of the coun
try, are investing in Sotithem mills.
An important feature in Southern
cotton milling is the adoptlcfu of elec
tricity for power, and many of the
new mills are equipped for Its use,
while a number of^the existing plants
have changed tkeir power equipment^
to the electrical drive. *
During October, November and De
cember announcements were made as
to decisions for the installation of
97,892 spindles and 2,749 Jooms,
which means an investment of ap
proximately $2,500,000, about half of
th^ie amoui^s being for the new
con>orations and the other half for
the existing ccrmpanies.
The total l^r the year is 932,320
spindles and 19,237 looms, requiring
an investment of more than $23,000,-
000. Comparing these figures with
the 148,808 spindles, an investment of
$2,700,000, for 1908, it is evident to
what an extent activity has‘increased
in adding to Southern mills.

lying with a crushed skull at the bot
tom of a creek, an electric train on the
line of the' Mount Vernon loaded with
tourists going to visit Washington’s
home, ran wild. *

heeded. He hurried forward and
found the cab empty. He stopped the
train and with passengers found the

back. ,
How the man fell from the cab is
not known.

Chief Forrester Dismiss^ From Ser
vice of the United. States. ,
Washington.—Gifford pinchot, chief
forester and intimate friend of Theo^,
dore Roosevelt, has been dismissed
from the service of the United States
l>y President Taft for insubordination
Associate Forester Overton W. Pric
and Assistant Law Officer Alexande
C. Shaw, Pinchot’s immediate assist-^
ants in the forestry bureau, followed
their chief out of the government em
ploy.
Thoroughly indignant over the' ac
tion of Mr, Pinchot in inducing Sena
tor Dolliver to read a letter from him
to the senate, President Taft would
listen to no advice that the 'forester’s
violation of e:jiecutive orders be over-
ooked pending the inquirj^ soun to
6 undertaken by congress. He d€i-
glared the dignity of the office he had
een chosen by the people to fill w,as
®ing atta.cked and he would be un
faithful to his trust if he submitted
longer.

hundreds of letters were coming ii:
Mrs. Morse’s mail every day, from
friends and sympathizers al over the
country—she stated definitely, that
such a communication would be
drawn up and forwarded to the cniei
executive.
*‘I am convinced that It would avail
nothing to wait,” she/said to a news
paper Interviewer, “until we have ex
hausted every means-of law to get
him out, and perhaps failed. You
may say that a petition Will be sent
to the president just as so6n as it
can be drawn up. Yes, everybody will

VOTING IN ENGLAND^
Weighty and Bitter Political Battle
Stirs the Country.
London.—The balloting will begin
In a few days In'the inost bitter and
weightiest political battle since Glad
stone’s home rule policy spilt up the
old parties in the eighties. Twelve
London and 56 provincial constitU'
encies go to the polls and the voting
will drag out through a fortnight.
The issue is nowise open to a con
fident prophecy. The present tenden
cy seemsc to • foreshadow a new liberal
government with a small working ma
jority. On the other hand, it is with
in the possibilities that the conser
vatives may, win enough followers to
capture control. They are most likely
to suffer through apathy, but su^ a
sampaign as is being carried on must
bring out the most .hardened stay-at-
liomes. That there will ‘be many re
turns to. former* unionist allowance of
sweats which .the radicals won "four
years ago, is^not doubted.
