Miss Florence Graling, an ad- vanced pupil of Mrs, Wilma An- derson-Gilman, made her musical debut with a taxing and brilliant piano program in the recital hall of the Minneapolis School of Music, Wednesday afternoon. The attendance was large and Miss Graling'’s reception was surpassed in heartiness only by the applause which marked the close of her scholarly and finished work. In the heavy technique of those two ponderous Chopin composi- tions, the “C Minor Etude” and the “War Study,” Miss Graling scored her highest triumphs. She attacked and mastered the mechan- ical difficulties of both works with an assurance and success which relegated her technical achieve- ment to the background and gave her really marked interpretative power a chance to score the major impression.—Minneapolis Journal. Miss Florence Graling will give a recital at the Masonic Hall, Sat- urday evening, March 5, at 8:15 o’clock, under the auspices of the 200 club,” Tickets 25 and 35 cents. CALLED FOE F CONSERVATION Pinchot Scores Secretary of Interior Ballinger. STATEMENT TO COMMITTEE Former Chief Forester Appears Be- fore Congressional Investigators and Hotly Denounces Taft's Cabinet Member—Brands Latter's Letter to President as False Particulars. in Essential Washington, Feb. 28.—In his open- Ing statement before the congression- al committee investigating the Ballin- ger-Pinchot controversy Mr. Pinchot denounced the secretary of the in- terior as an open foe of the principles of conservation and branded state- ments made by Mr. Ballinger to the president in explanation of his acts in throwing open withdrawn water power sites as absolutely false. Mr. Pinchot asserted his faith in Glavis and said he believed him a faithful servant of the people who has been most unjustly treated. Mr. Pinchot made to the Ballinger- Pinchot investigating committee this statement of his charges against Sec- retary Ballinger: “What I desire to lay before the committee is a consecutive story of my experiences with Mr. Ballinger in relation to the conservation of natural resources. Among several other mat- ters there are three of principal im- portance to be called to your atten- tion. Opposed Roosevelt Policies. “The first of these concerns the policy; devised and inaugurated by the last administration, of protecting against a monopolistic control of the water power sites owned by the peo- ple. I shall show you that Secretary Ballinger entered his office with the clear determination to make short work of that policy; that he reversed it so far as he was allowed to do so; that he restored the power sites to entry without the remotest idea of rewithdrawing them, and that, finally, when I charged him last autumn to the president with being an enemy of the policy of conservation, he capped the climax by giving to the president himself an explanation of his conduct that was essentially false. “The second has to do with my con- nection as a government officer with the Cunningham coal cases and with the Gldvis charges. I shall show you how the forest service became in- volved in these cases and how Glavis submitted his facts to me. I believed then, as I believe now, that he told the truth. I am convinced now, as 1 was when he came to me, that Glavis ‘was a faithful public servant and that the facts which he presented prove that Mr. Ballinger has been unfaithful to his trust as a servant of the people and as the guardian of public property of enormous value. Secretary Foe to Conservation. “I shall show you that since I learned the facts you have heard from Glavis and others, which I am about to lay before you, I have acted stead- ily in the light of them, as it was my duty, both as a public officer and as a citizen; to do. I shall show you that in pursuance of that duty I laid before the president, both by word of mouth and in a letter of Nov. 4, a statement of my conviction that Secretary Bal- linger has been a dangerous enemy to conservation. “I shall show you that this letter was submitted by the president to Mr. Ballinger and that as part of his reply he lald before the presidént a state- ment concerning the Cunningham coal cases, which statement is shown by undisputed documentary evidence to be absolutely false in three essential particulars. It will then appear that Mr. Ballinger wilfully deceived the president and was disloyal to him. “The third principal matter is con- cerned with the attitude of this gov- ernment in law and administrative practice toward the conservation of the natural resources belonging to the people. I desire to show you that the story of Glavis’ courageous and suc- ceasful fight to protect the property of the pecple, which ended in bis dis- missal without a hearing, 18 but a sin- gle chapter in the history of the pub- lic lands.” Russians Burned Houses to Create Market for Lumber. Kursk, Russia, Feb. 28.—A timber merchant named Levkin and two peas- ants of this province have been con- demned to death by the military court for arson, committed merely to make a market for Levkin's building timber. Testimony introduced showed that Levkin’s terms were $1 for every peas- ant’s house fired and that the peas- ants had applied the torch to tem houses filled with sleeping peasants. VICTIM OF STRIKERS. One of the Men Who Attempt- od to Work Badly Beaten. DEVELOPING FOLK'S BOOM Secret Conference Is Held at Hot Springs, Ark. Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 28.—Devel- opment of the presidential boom for former Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri into concrete form is be- leved to be the significance of a con- ference here between Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee, and Nelson W. McLeod of St. Louls, Folk’s cam- palgn manager during his successful gubernatorial race. W. A. Percy, brother of Leroy Percy, the new United States senator from Mississippi, also participated in the conference, which was held be- hind closed doors. VOTING ON QUESTION OF CALLING STRIKE Engineers and Firemen on Hill Roads May Go Out St. Paul, Feb. 28.—Firemen and en- gineers of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads have been voting by mail on the question of call- ing a strike to enforce demands pre- sented by the union~last November. Returns received do not warrant a pre- diction as to the outcome, according to union officials. S. G. Smith, chairman of the North- ern Pacific employes, and J. C. Coch- ran, chairman of the Great Northern employes, have completed an inspec- tion of the systems during which they gathered the sentiment on the possi- bility of a strike. While neither would make any statement it is believed they found the Western ends of both systems ready for anything, while op- position to radical action was found in Minnesota: The firemen and engineers are act- ing as a national unit and if the strike 18 called it will affect nearly every railroad system in the country. The vote is being taken from Peoria, IIl, general headquarters of the union. PLAN JOINT NOTE TO CHINA England and Russia Aroused by Celes- tial Activity in Tibet. London, Feb. 28.—The English gov- ernment has -opened negotiations with Russia looking to.a joint note to China with respect to her activities in Tibet. Neither England nor Russia cares anything about Tibet, but both fear the Chinese expansion into Tibet is the forerunner to an encroachment by China upon the Indian and Russian frontiers. Chinese Banquet Calhoun. Chicago, Feb. 28—Chinese mer- chants and Chinese students of the University of Chicago joined in honor- ing Willlam J. Calhoun, the recently appointed minister to China, at a ban- quet given in a State street Chinese restaurant. The place was decorated with Chinese and United States flags and Chinese lanterns. 8ix Million for Equipment. St. Paul, Feb. 28.—The Great North- ern railway has planned an expendi- ture of about $6,000,000 this year for additional equipment. The amount will be divided nearly evenly between the freight and passenger services and the total number of purchases will be delivered before the end of the year. Chinese Troops After Insurgents. Amoy, China, Feb. 28.—There has been a recrudescence of the anti-dy- nastic agitation at Pinghohsien, in Southern Fakien, and 1,000 govern- ment troops occupy the’ district. The insurgents have withdrawn to the hills. Skirmishes have occurred with the troops, but few casualties are re- ported. WILL MOVE TO ANNUL CHARTER New Jersey Prosecutor After Big Packing Concern. VIOLATION OF STATE LAW State’s Attorney to Continue His Fight on the National Packing Company, One of the Six Indicted for Conspir- acy to Raise the Price of Meat. Said Defendants Will Appear When Wanted for Trial, New York, Feb. 28.—A- motion to pullify the charter of the National Packing company, one of the corpora- tions indicted for conspiracy to raise the price of meat, will be made short- ly by Prosecutor Garven of Jersey City. * Mr. Garven, will appear before Su- preme Court Justice Swayze in Tren- ton, N. J, and ask that the National Packing company’s charter be nulli- fled on the ground that it had violated the state law. Officials of Prosecutor ~Garven’s office said that he had received assur- ances from counsel of the indicted cor- porations and individuals that the de- fendants would appear when wanted for trial. The grand jury of Hudson county, N. J,, on evidence submitted by Prose- cutor Garven, returned an indictment against six great packing companies and twenty-one packers, charging them with conspiracy in limiting the supply of meat and poultry. The indictment is drawn under the law of New Jersey, which provides upon conviction a maximum penalty of three years in the penitentiary or a $1,000 fine, or both. The offense is extraditable, which practically means that the meat barons of this country must either successfully resist extra- dition or come to Jersey City for trial. GIFFORD PINCHOT. Former Chief Forester De- nounces Secretary Ballinger. BIG FIGHT STILL 'IN DOUBT Promoters Dissatisfied With Reception at San Francisco. San Francisco, Feb. 28.—That it is by no means certain yet that the Jef fries-Johnson fight will be staged in or around San Francisco became known when it was learned that nego- tiations are about to be reopened with Salt Lake -City, with a view of ascertaining if the big battle cannot be held there. That the promoters of the fight have not met with the reception here they had hoped for and that they are not entirely agreed as to the course to pursue has become apparent and finds vent in various rumors in sport- ing circles of another split between Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason and in- timations that extortionate demands are made for a,place for an arena. ANOTHER ARREST IN YAUGHN MURDER GASE Wife of Dead Man Accused of Administering Polson. Kirksville, Mo., Feb. 28.—Mrs. Alma Proctor Vaughn has been arrested on a warrant charging her with the mur- der of her husband, Professor John T. Vaughn. She was released on $25, 000 bail. The arrest of Mrs. Vaughn marks another step in what promises to be one of the most sensational as well as one of the hardest fought cases in the history of the state. Dr. J. R. Hull of Monroe City, the Proctor family physician, was arrest- ed Thursday on a like charge and is now out on bail. Vaughn died from strychnine poi- soning, according to the verdict of the coroner’'s jury. The pofson victim was apparently in the best of health when he arrived home from church on the night of his death.- Thirty minutes later he died in convulsions. His widow, Mrs. Al ma Proctor Vaughn; who survives him with their seven-year-old daugh- ter, testified at the coroner’s inquest that her husband teok quinine in a paper capsule as soon as he arrived home. + Mrs. Vaughn is thirty-five years old and is a niece of Dr. Proctor, presi- dent of a Monroe City (Mo.) bank. Her father, James M. Proctor, i8 a di- rector in the bank and is reputed to be wealthy. In addition to an estate of $30,000 Professor Vaughn’s life was insured for $7,000. It is not, however, charged that this supplied the motive. Mrs, Vaughn has realty in her own name valued at $40,000. Belmont Gets Marriage License. New York, Feb. 28.—It is learned that the marriage license bureau in the city hall kept open after hours for the issuance of a marriage license to August Belmont and Eleanor Elsie Robson, the actress, whose engage- ment was recently announced. STATE POLICE AND ~ STRIKERS GLASH Two of the Latter Shot at South Bethlehem, Pa, South Bethlehem, Pa, Feb. 28.— Two foreigners were shot by state po- lice during a fight at the Majestic ho- tel. One man was shot in the head and is in a serious condition at St. Luke’s hospital. The other received a slight wound in the leg. The state police, summoned from Philadelphia to the great plant of the Bethlehem Steel company, 7,000 of ‘whose employes are on strike, had not been here half an hour before the force had a skirmish with a mob of 200 foreigners. The latter, who appeared to be bent on mischief, were scattered. Several of the disturbers were struck by the policemen’s riot sticks. A number of arrests were made.

COMPANY REMAINS FIRM Flatly Refuses to Eentergaln Any Proposition to Submit Dispute to Ar- bitration—Arrest of President Mur- phy of the Central Labor Union Adds to the Uneasiness in Working: men’s Circles. Philadelphia, Feb. 28.—The begin- ning of the second week of the strike against the Philadelphia Rapid Tran- sit company finds the city authorities apprehensive of what may develop, in spite of the great gains toward the complete re-establishment of order made in the last two days. The arrest of John J. Murphy, the young president of the Central Labor union, on the charge of inciting to riot, has added to the uneasiness in labor circles. The warrant for Murphy’s arrest was issued at the direction of Director of Public Safety Clay, following the publication of the following statement. said to have been made by the head of the Central Labor union: “You can depend upon it that a general strike will be called. If one man is shot in Kensington there will follow a carnival of riot and blood- shed which will startle the entire country. The state police would be helpless. Just wait a little while for developments and you will see some- thing which will open your eyes.” Calls It Violation of Law. “This statement was made to news- paper reporters for publication,” said Director Clay, “one of whom was sent for and who stated that the above statement of Mr. Murphy’s, as pub- lished, is substantially correct. I have been advised by the law officers of the city and county that the same is‘a violation of law and inciting to riot and therefore it is my duty, as direc- tor of public safety, to place him un- der arrest.” Murphy denied that he had made such a statement for publication. He says he merely expressed an opinion as to what might develop if the strike continues and the company refuses to arbitrate. ‘The published statement itself, he said, showed that a warning and not a threat was intended. The flat refusal of the board of di- rectors of the Rapid Transit company to entertain a proposition of arbitra- tion leads many to believe that the contest will continue until one or the other surrenders. The committee of prominent clergymen . who. proposed the arbitration pian will hold another meeting to consider what further move, if any, shall be made. TWO MILLIONS ON BOARD Expedition Organized to Raise Vessel Lost Ten Years Ago. Seattle, Feb. 28.—An expedition has been organized by an expert diver to raise the steamer Islander, sunk ten years ago in 320 fathoms of water near Juneau, Alaska, while bound for Seattle with $2,000,000 of Klondike gold in her strong box. The location of the steamer is not known, but the depth of water has forbidden salvage attempts. The plan proposed is to lift the vessel with a huge metal seine.
