TRYON DRUG COMPANY. 'Phones .21 mnd 1PS P. O; Station No. 1. PRESIDENT. TAFT BLAMES SHAW (Continued from page 1.) made in his behalf to. the President. 'Representative Page, hacked by Senators Overman and Simmons, ' of North Carolina, who also know Mr. Shaw appeared "before the President last Saturday morning at the White House and interceded for Mr. Shaw, with Secretary Ballinger. This the President, it is understood, declined to do, and it is said by those in the room at the time, of whom were" about 25, that the President firmly expressed his opinion that Mr, Shaw, and not Mr. Glavis, was responsible for articles in the newspapers and in Collier's "Weekly, which had so much to do with stirring up the conserva tion trouble; in other words, that Mr. Bhaw, more than any other man, was responsible for giving to the news papers and magazines data on which attacks on Secretary Ballinger were based. It is understood that the President regarded Mr. Shaw's act ions in the whole matter as being such that he was not a proper per son to be allowed to practice patent claims before a government depart ment. Senator Root May Intercede. "After consultation with Senators Overman and Simmons, upon leaving the White House, - Representative Page declined to' present in the House on Monday, a resolution inquiring of Secretary Ballinger . why Shaw was not to be permitted, earn his liveli hood before 'the Interior Department. Mr. Shaw called upon him and dis suaded Mr. Page from this public sifting of the question, saying that he would have a friend see Senator Root, and asked Senator Root to intercede with the President in the effort to obtain a reversal of .the President's decision. Representative Page received a message from Sena tor Root that he would take the mat ter up, and inquire of the Attorney General, before seeing the President, what Mr. Shaw's property rights in the matter are. By "property rights," it Is understood, Senator Root meant Mr.7 Shaw's right to earn his liveli hood before tlg Interior Department. So the matter rests, and It is said that Mr. Root will consult with the President in regard to Mr. Shaw's status as soon as he has had a con ference with Attorney General Wick-ersh-am. It seems certain last night, from the statements of those who are familiar with Mr. Shaw's predicament that unless the Presi dent reverses his decision in the case, inquiry will be begun on the matter on the floor of the House, and it is possible that the entire North dele gation in Congress will take up the right, for Shaw. . "A' "Resolution of Inquiry. "In order to open the question in the House, it will be necessary for some Represenattive to -offer a reso lution of inquiry which will be re ferred to the committee on rules, and If there seems a disposition on the party of the committee not to take' action, the author of the resolution weuld have the right after, seven days to call it up, thus offering a chance to precipitate a de bate, in the course of which, if such a course could b"e pursued it is ex pected warfare for Shaw of the most open sort will be waged. Persons familiar with Mr. Shaw's record last night warmly defended him from the criticism implied by the refusal of Secretary Ballinger to allow him to practice before the Interior Depart ment. It was stated that Mr. Shaw has spent something like 15 years in the government service; that all his training and education has been along lines that would best fit him for the earning of a livelihood in the manner he chooses to earn it, in the prosecution of patent claims, and that it will be a great hardship upon him if he Is denied this right. Friends of Representative Page and Senators Overman and Simmons are of the be lief that the interest in Mr. Shaw's case is one of principle, rather than personal. While the North Carolina delegation members are well acquain ted with Mr. Shaw, it is believed that they will make his fight their fight, because he is also a North Carolinan and entitled to their ' efforts at straightening matters out." If not straightened out, it was definitely stated last night that a speech will be made on the floor of the House that will be heard the country over." This puts North Carolina In the game good and strong. H. . E. C. B. Chicago Cash Grain. CHICAGO. March 8.

The early trading was dull and feature less at about the opening levels. Shorts mad so attempt to force their advantage evidently fearing bullish weekly statis tics' and the weather in the Western cot ton belt, which is still dry. Traders on the bull side were not inclined to take on fresh lines with Llverfool calling a halt in its advance. In' the first half-hour of trading prices recovered 3 0 6 points but the raarke allowed no decided strength. From the middle of the morning on the market had a very good tone and prices showed a tendency to advance on the surprising showing made by Hester's figures on the into-sight - to the end - of February- Tb 4ntogtcrwaS-put at 8. 586,235 bales, the smallest total in ten years. Bulls bought heavily when they discovered that these figures were even smaller than those to the rnd of Feb ruary in the Sully year, w ion they were put at 8,729,216 bales. The market was also strengthened by the minus correc tion of 14,339 bales in the Houston stock and, by telegrams from New York stat ing that Brown and other Southern bulls were heavy buyers of May and July. Before noon the decline of the early hours had been made up and replaced by a net advance of 5 6 points on the more active months.
