AFFIDAVITS ASKED FOR Matter Brought Before Congressional Investigators by the Counsel for Gif- ford Pinchot—Head of Interior De- partment Reads Statement in Which He Alleges a Conspiracy to Obtain His Removal. ‘Washington, May 14.—In concluding his cross-examination of Secretary Bal- linger, Attorney Pepper, counsel for Giftord Pinchot, introduced a letter written by Don M. Carr, Mr. Ballin- ger’s private secretary, and printed as an advertisement in the Montgomery Times of Mount Ida, Ark., reading as follows: “It is suggested that as congress probably will at an early date make an examination of the management of the forest service you might, with propriety, secure such affidavits of the character referred to in your editorial and submit them to the committee baving charge of the investigation, of which Hon. Knute Nelson, United States senator, will probably be chair- man.” Secretary Ballinger said he knew nothing about Mr. Carr’s letter, which bore date of Jan. 3, last, but on re- direct examination he said he had re- ceived a letter from the editor of the paper late in December stating that there were many complaints in that lo- cality agaiust tne foiest service. He offered in evidence his reply to the editorial. “Amazingly Wicked Defense.” ‘When Mr. Pepper asked Mr. Ballin- ger if he did not think the “conspir- acy” which he had referred to might have been a defensive combination of those who were heart and soul for a policy to which he was known to be opposed Mr. Ballinger replied: “It was a most amazingly wicked de- fense.” He then took from his pocket a long resume, which he secured permission to read and which he said wauld show the existence of a comnspiracy to re-| move him from public office. The resume had to do with various por- tions of the testimony during the pres- ent investigation and concludes as fol- lows: “The evidence introduced in the present investigation by the so called prosecution was all put in by the 18th of March last and since that time evi- dence has been introduced by me be- fore the committee. An anonymous pamphlet has been circulated, not- withstanding the truth which has been shown by the evidence in my behalf, and circulated secretly and confiden- tially, purporting to state what the prosecution had shown and expressly declining to state any evidence intro- duced by me. Reliable information discloses that these anonymous pam- phlets are being distributed from the home of Gifford Pinchot.” Blames Pinchot for Agitation. Mr. Ballinger in his statement said that Mr. Pinchot had “acted steadily” as an officer and a citizen to bring about the removal of a man whom he regarded as not only an unfaithful public servant, but also as an enemy to the great principles of conservation. He said Pinchot -had advised Glavis to lay his charges before the president and had given him a letter of introduc- tion. He referred to Governor Par- dee’s speech at the Spokane irrigation congress in which he seriously ‘“re- flected on me,” and said it was made _after Pardee had visited with Pinchot. “Pinchot adniits that I am an ob- stacle in the way of the conservation movement which ‘we proposed to, re- move,’” said Mr. Ballinger, “and ad- mits that Garfield and Glavis and he are part of the ‘we.” Mr. Ballinger called attention to the fact that the projected fight against him at Spokane had been opened ac- cording to schedule, although nothing had been said against Garfield.

Salt Lake City, May 14.—A panic, an involuntary bath in Great Salt lake and a ride home in an improvised hos- | pital train marked the initiation of the Hippodrome at Saltair resort—the Hippodrome in which it had been pro- posed to hold the Jeffries-Johnson bat- tle—as a boxing arena. Three thousand persons went to see the fight, 100 of them went into the waters of the lake with a collapsing stairway and more than a sBore of those were carried back to their homes in this city with broken limbs, contusions, or mouths or nostrils scaled by the biting brine of the in- land sea. FIVE DIE WHEN FIRE DESTROYS HOME Mother and Two Children Res- cued by Neighbors. Faribault, Minn, May 14—Five members of a family were burned to death here, . Bert Sperry, the father, fell into the flames when the upper floor of the home, collapsed and his charred body was found with the arms clasping, in pitiful embrace two little blackened corpses, the remains of his children. He had entered a blazing room in an attempt to rescue them. The dead are: Bert Sperry, father, aged thirty- five; Mrs. A. N. Kellogg, aged sixty- five years, mother of Mrs. Sperry; Ed- ward Sperry, aged seven; Clarence Sperry, aged three years. All of the bodies have been recov- ered, but were burned to a crisp. The mother, the baby and the oldest child, aged ten years, were the only mem- bers of the family saved. Mr. Sperry arose about 6 o’clock to build a fire in the stove. He went back to bed and about thirty minutes later neighbors saw the entire interior of the house was a mass of flames. All members of the family slept up stairs and their escape was cut off. Mr. Hackett, a neighbor, succeeded in res- cuing Mrs. Sperry and the baby. The oldest girl made her escape. Dies at Age of 112 Years.
