The First National Bank 0f Bemidji, Minnesota but Lauds Roosevelt. New York, April 30.—Intemperate Incorrect, vulgar and false in its foun- dation is the characterization former President Zelaya of Nicaragua placed on Secretary Knqx’s note severing re- lations with Nicaragua, according to Zelaya’s brother-in-law, Louis Couis- sen, who is in this city arranging for the “vindication” of Zelaya. Couissen is returning from Mad- rid, where he arranged for the publi- cation of a book by Zelaya entitled “The Revolution of Nicaragua Against the United States,” in which Zelaya re- views the events leading up to the up- rising and bitterly blames the Knox diplomacy for most of the trouble there. After characterizing Knox as unjust and his note to the Nicaraguan minister severing diplomatic relations as astounding Zelaya says: “In great contrast is this document to the telegram sent me by ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt on amother occasion.” Zelaya calls Roosevelt “that grand statesman” and refers to him as “my friend.” LEAVITT WANTS CHILDREN Threatens to Make Effort to Prevent Bryan Wedding. Columbus, O., April 30.—William H.

CITY DRUG STORE THE PRESCRIPTION STORE TELAYA DEFENDS HIS |DEFENDS HIS ACTS IN NICARAGUA| UFFL‘“EL ACTS posed President Assalls Knok| Balinger Before Congres- sional Investigators. REVIEWS PUBLIC CAREER 8ays He Entered Service of the Gov- ernment Because of President Roose- velt’s Insistence and Relates - In- stances Where Former Chief Execu- tive Expressed Confidence in Him. Brands Statement of Glavis a “Will- ful, Deliberate Lie.” ' ‘Washington, April 30.—Secretary Ballinger asserted under oath and vehemently to the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigating committee that he would take the same action today that he did as commissioner of the land office in ordering the Cunningham Alaskan coal claims “clear listed,” provided he had the same record before him. “It's a willful, deliberate lie,” he snapped, when Mr. Vertrees asked as to the truth of Glavis’ statement to the committee that he had discussed Cunningham’s claims with Ballinger in December, 1907. He spoke with assurance and related several in- | stances in which former President Roosevelt had indicated confidence in him. Mr. Ballinger, in beginning his tes- timony, recounted the story of his ca- reer up to the time he became com- missioner general of the land office on the earnest-solicitation of Presi- dent Roosevelt, Secretary Garfield and Senator Piles. He referred to the anti-vice crusade he led while mayor of Seattle. “They knew I would enforce the law, and I did,” he stated emphatically. Mr. Ballinger read telegrams he had received from Mr. Garfield and Mr. Roosevelt after he had replied nega- tively to a suggestion of Senator Piles that he accept the post of commission- er of the land office. Reading from the Roosevelt telegram he said: “It is ‘your duty to help me. You and Garfleld will lift an immense burden frem my shoulders.” Not Intimate With Garfield. It was then, Mr. Ballinger said, that he decided to accept the post and Mr. Vertrees asked the witness whether his relations with Mr. Garfield then were friendly. “Friendly, but never intimate. I knew Mr. Garfield in col- lege.” Mr. Vertrees asked Mr. Ballinger whether he knew any of the Cunning- ham Alaskan claimants at the time he became commissioner. He said he was. not aware he knew any of them et that time, but. had since discovered that he knew about six of them, whom he named. “Did you have any interest in Alas- kan lands?” asked Mr. Vertrees. “I had no interest in Alaskan or any other lands whatever, either directly or indirectly,” retorted Mr. Ballinger emphatically. B “Whhat professional relations did you or your law firm have at that time with Alaska?” “I don’t recall that we represented any, with the possible exception of ‘Watson Allen, a lumberman, who had gome interest in Nome, in placer gold diggings.” Mr. Ballinger then told of having come to Washington and of an inter- view he had had at the White House with President Roosevelt soon after arrival. Ralsing his voice Mr. Ballin- ger said: “The president said to me as he greeted me, ‘I have mo apologies to make, Ballinger. I'm glad you are here. Any man who could clean up Seattle as you did can clean up that land effice.’” Describes the Cleaning Up. Mr. Ballinger described how he “cleaned up” the land office, repeating in detail the many changes he had made and the jnnovations he had in- troduced. Mr. Ballinger said he first met L. R. Glavis in San Francisco in the summer of 1907. At that time noth- ing had been said about coal lamds, but Glavis had asked him to secure his transfer to' Portland when he re- turned to Washington. Explaining why he had put H. K. Love in charge of the Alaskan coal cases instead of H. T. Jones, another special’ agent, Mr. Ballinger said he lacked confidence in Jones. Attorney Vertrees asked Mr. Ballin. ger about a conference he had with Glavis in December, 1907. He referred Ballinger to Glavis’ testimony before the committee that they had talked about several specific groups of Alaska coal claims, “That's a willful and deliberate lie,” exclaimed Mr. Ballinger. He said they had discussed the situation in general, but that he knew nothing about any groups. Mr. Vertrees called the witness’ at- tention to the matter of the “clear listing” of the Cunningham entries by his order as commissioner in January, 1008. Mr. Ballinger said he and Chief of Field Division Schwartz had gone over the report on the claims of H. K. Love, made Auz. 2, 1907, and had decided that the claims were entitled to patent, there being no protest in the record. BRITISH BUDGET NOW A LAW Measure Which Caused Turmoll Re- ceives Royal Assent.

The Hague, April 30.—The people of The Netherlands turned out and welcomed the Roosevelts as though they were homefolks. It was as though the former president were traveling through his own country. At every station on the route cheering crowds were met with and everybody wanted a speech. At Hertogenbosch he spoke briefly and greatly pleased his auditors by saying: “I am visiting the country from which my people came three centuries ago.” The American party were the guests of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry at luncheon. Brussels, April 30.—The Roosevelts left here at 7:13 a. m. for Holland. At %he railway station to bid them goodby were American Minister Charles Page Bryan and the others of the legation staff, American Consul General Watts, Burgomaster Max and personal representatives of King Al- bert and of the foreign office.
