SAYS BALLINGER DID SAME TRING e iLa Follette Asks Why Secre- tary Is Not Dismissed. Madison, Wis., Jan. 15.—"If Chiet Forester Pinchot was dismissed from the service of the United States for writing a letter to a senator why was not Secretary of the Interior Ballinger ficcorded the same identical treatment for doing the same identical thing?” This is the question asked in the leading editorial in this week’s issue of La Follette’'s Weekly Magazine, | which is devoted to a discussion of Pinchot’s removal. The editorial says, in part: “We think it will be hard for the public to accept the president’s de- cision when he declared to Gifford Pinchot that, by writing his letter to Senator Dolliver, he had destroyed his ‘usefulness as a helpful subordinate of the government and it now, therefore, becomes my duty to direct the secre- tary of agriculture to remove you Irom the office of forester.” “In his consideration of Mr. Pin- chot’s offense in writing a letter to a senator to be read on the floor of the senate because it might influence pub- lc judgment in a matter which has been or might be the subject of ex- ecutive action the president seems quite to have overlooked the case of Secretary Ballinger. He seems to i have overlooked the fact that Mr. Pin- chot’s letter was called forth by one written by Mr. Ballinger denouncing certaln forestry officials and written to a senator for the express purpose of having it read during a session of the senate as part of the proceed- ngs” ‘Destructive Fire at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 15.—Fire almost :de- stroyed the six-story building occupied by the Chicago Rawhide company. The loss is estimated at $300,000. Several other buildings were damaged. ARMY PLOT IS ¢ NIPPED IN BUD -Spanish Government Discov- *ers Conspiracy. PRINCE UNDER ARREST Captains General of Madrid, Valencia and Several Other Cities Removed and Many Officers Taken Into Cus- tody—Will Be Sent to Various For tresses Pending Their Trial by Court. martial. Madrid, Jan. 16.—Prince Pignatelli, slleged to have been involved in the recently discovered plot through which the Conservatives are said to have aimed to embroil the army with the government, has been arrested. The Liberal press strongly approves the energetic action taken by the-gov- ernment. The Liberal declares that | the measure was severe but indis- pensable. El Paiso says that the plot was de- signed to force the resignation of Min- ister of War Luque and thus precipi- tate the fall of Premier Moret Prender- gast and his cabinet. - The articles in the Correspondencia Militar, which revealed the plot, were written by Senor Liorens, a Carlist deputy and officer, who used a pseu- donym. The issue of the paper was suppressed, whereupon the demonstra- tion of army officials was made in front of the newspaper office. The police raided the office and upon the evidence obtained the cabinet was hurriedly assembled under the presi- dency of King Alfonso, who sanctioned the removal of Count de Villar as cap- tain general of Madrid and the arrest of the officers implicated. Conspiracy Is Widespread. ‘That the affair had widespread rami- fications was indicated by the subse- quent removal of the captains general of Valencia, Valladolid and Coronna. General Linares, ex-minister of war was the first to congratulate Minister of War Luque on tke prompt action taken. The award of honors which was made to the officers of the Melilla ex- pedition and which was criticised by the Correspondencia Militar was in accordance with the distribution rec- ommended by General Marina, gov- ernor of Melilla. The affair has creat- ed little popular excitement, as the government acted before the existence of the conspiracy became generally known. The various officers implicated have been sent to various fortresses pend- ing trial by courtmartial. Among them are the colonels of the princes’ and queens’ regiments. It was also reported that the build- ing occupied by the Military club was surrounded by the police and that -| eighty army officers found there were placed under arrest. WALSH IS CLEAR OF DEBT Financier Signs Agreement to Sur render Securities. Chicago, Jan. 15.—John R. Walsh has attached his signature to the agreement of settlement of his finan- cial troubles and sent the document to the First Trust and Savings bank to be held until the guarantors of the note sign their part of the agreement. The signature gives to the Associated Banks of Chicago, which backed the adjustment of Walsh's financial af- fairs, after his banks were suspended in 1905, the $14,309,000 in securities he put up to cover a note of $7,121,- 887. In return Walsh gets the can- celled note. The bank will get in addition $600,- 000 from the guarantors of the big note, who are then to be given the $949,000 in securities which the guar- antors put up as security. ‘When the guarantors sign their part of the agreement the financial affairs of the former banker and rail- road owner will be practically closed up. IN CONTROL OF ROCK ISLAND Powerful Foreign Interests Now Said to Be a Factor. New York, Jan. 15—S. B. Chapin & Co. have been punished, Daniel G. Reid has resigned as chairman of the executive committee of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad com- pany, and now, out of the mass of rumors which have cropped up since the recent sensational rise and fall in Rock Island common, comes the ap- parently authentic report that the con- trol of the Rock Island company is to change and that Reid’s influence will be eliminated. Powerful foreign interests, headed by F. S. Pearson, a London banker, owner of Mexican properties and with strong Canadian connections, have re- cently acquired, in the open market, large blocks of Rock Island common and preferred stocks. The exact amount is not disclosed, but probably represents about one-fifth of the whole. Aged Woman Wins Suit. Miller, S. D, Jan. 15.—Catherine Dring, aged ninety years, was awarded $7,746 by a jury in‘a suit against St. Lawrence township for money she loaned years ago.
