Minneapoiis, Sept. 12.—Richard A. Ballinger, sccretary cf the interior, is indicted as false to the trust imposed in him by tire people and a man unfit to hold public office in a report made public by the minority members of the congressional investigating committee. The findings on the evidence sup- mitted to the committee were given out after the bolt by Senator Knute Nelson, chairman, and his three Re- puslican coileagues. The anti-Ballin- g<r members then adjourned the com- mittee until December and left Min- neapolis for their various homes. They will not attend- the “rum>” meeting of the committee called by Chairman Nelson for Tuesday in. Chi- cago, claiming that the chairman had no power to adjourn the committee to any other place or time. At the Chicago meeting Senator Nel- son and his fellow pro-Ballinger com- mittee members, although lacking a quorum of the whole committee, are expected to adopt a report exomerat- ing the secretary of the interior from the charges brought against him by Pinchot, Glavis and others.

Findings of the Minority. TWo Teports, very similar, were giv- en out by the anti-Ballinger men. One is signed by the four Democratic mem- bers of the committee, the other by Congressman B, H. Madison, insurgent Republican of Kansas. The report, after giving a historical review of the proceedings, sums up the charges against Secretary Ballin- ger as follows: “Stated affirmatively the issue of the first branch is that Secretary Bal- linger is unfit to hold the office of secretary of the interior; that he has been unfaithful to his trust as cus- todian of public lands &nd specifically that he sanctioned the future convey- ance of land-not yet gone to patent Where the making of necessary proofs would involve perjury; that he clear- listed the Cunningham claims and or- dered them to patent with evidence of their fraudulent character before him or accessible; that as commis- sloner of the land office he prepared the Cale. bill validating Alaska coal claims; that he later acted as attor- ney for claims before the land office over which he had presided; that when the validity of the act was ques- tioned he accepted the erroneous opinion of a subordinate against the Interest of the government and the people; that he deceived the president as to what took place under his in- structions in his department; that he construed the Cunningham group of coal entries without regard to the law covering such cases and that he con- doned improper conduct in subor- |- dinates in certain cases.” Wealthy Chicagoan Ends Life.

Thos. Maloy, ¥ = Clty Clerk: J.BISIAR, ! VicePrest, How one man fTooled his wire She had been using her ‘‘favorite” baking powder. ‘Wouldn't think of try- ing nnythmg else, be- cause ‘‘mother always used it,” or some similar excuse. Hubby said shewas prejudiced. He figured if Calumet, the new baking puwder, selling at a moder- ate price, could be so successful, there must be some good m it. So he took a hand, and bought a can of Calumet, emptied the can containing her ‘“‘favorite’’ baking powder and filled it with Calumet. That evening, unsuspecting the trick, Wifey prepared and served some of her famous biscuit— piping hot, temptingly browned and puffed up to airy lightness, they’wqre even more dehcloqs than usual. Hubby, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in convincing her that the basis of the improvement was Calumet Baking powder. And. so an ever- lasting friend for Calumet was made. This trathful little incident simply proves that the housewife is oftimes prejudiced against all baking powders except the one she has been using for years. She imagines that no other kind can po-slbly be as good. This is a mistaken impression. A trial of Calumet will prove that it is puxer, more reliable; it has a greater leavening power than any other baking powder made. And it is ‘moderate in price. Your Grocer Will Guarantee It.
