STRICKEN FROM COURT RECORD Statement That Ballinger Shirked His Duty. SECURES ONE VINDICATION Secretary Denies Imputation Made in Injunction Proceedings in Certain Land Cases Before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and at His Request the Charges Are Expunged From the Records. ‘Washington, May 4.—Secretary Bal- linger received what might be called one vindication in the supreme court of the District of Columbia when a charge that he had shirked his duty as secretary of the interior was or- dered expunged from the record. In an injunction proceeding in con- nection with the homestead claims on the Siletz Indian reservation in Ore- gon the petition alleged that because Mr. Ballinger, as a lawyer, had been counsel for some of the claimants, he refused to pass upon the case when he came inte office and delegated the work to his first assistamt, Frank Pierce, and had therefore refused to give the benefit of his judgment, and had therefore shirked his duty. Secretary Ballinger denied the impu- tation, declaring that the cases had been referred to Mr. Pierce in the reg- ular course of business, as the latter had direct charge of general land office affairs, and the court struck out the charge.

Chicago, May 4.—Coincident with the departure “out of town” of State’s Attorney Wayman the special grand Jury which is investigating charges of bribery in connection with the pas- sage of certain legislation and the election of Willlam Lorimer to the United States senate adjourned for the day.

One had it that he had gone to Springfield to confer with State’s At- torney Burke of Sangamon county, who has announced that a grand jury called by himself will take up the Lorimer bribery charges mext Mon- day. Another rumor was to the effect that Mr. Wayman had taken two de- tectives with him on a hunt for evi- dence to corroborate that of Repre- sentative White, who made the con- fession that he, a Democrat, received $1,000 to vote for Lorimer.

The President Taft read with keenest in- terest the dispatch from Washington dealing with the critical situation in which the administration railroad bill has been placed. The president would make no comment for publication re- garding the attitude of the progres- sives in the senate and house toward the measure. That he holds the pro- gressives responsible for the legisla- tive delay is now fully recognized. It is known that the president has grown tired of the profegsions of some of the national legislators in both branches of congress that they are for his measures (when they visit the ‘White House), but work against these same measures, according to his view, as soon as they get back to Capitol hill.
