OUT OF CABINET President Scores Accusers in Accepting Resignation. CHICAGO MAN GETS PLACE Walter L. Fisher, Supporter of the Pinchot Conservation ideas, Is Named to Fill Vacancy. Washington, March 8.—Richard A. Ballinger’s resignation as secretary ot the interior, dated Jan. 19 last, has been accepted by President Taft and Walter L. bisher of Chicago appoint ed as his successor, his commission being signed immediately by the pres- ident. Mr. Fisher will take office | within a few days. Secretary Ballinger tendered his resignation in a letter on Jan. 19, bas- ing it entirely upon the condition of his health. The president replied at once, expressing his confidence in Sec- retary Ballinger, his reluctance to ac- cept his resignation and requested the secretary to remain in office until the close of the session of congress. Im- mediately upon the adjournment of congress Secretary Ballinger renewed his request that he be relieved at a date suiting the president’s conven- ience, but immediately if possible. President Taft, in a letter, formally accepted the resignation. The correspondence between the president and the secretary is not vol- uminous, but sets forth beyond ques- tion the confidence which Mr, Taft has Teposed in Mr. Ballinger throughout the long siege and the indignation with which he has viewed the attacks upon the secretary’s personal and off eial integrity. “T have had the fullest opportunity,” the president says in his letter ac cepting the resignation, “to know you, to know your standards of service to AFTER TWO DAYS OF DEBATE Initiative and Referendum Bill Passes Minnesota House. An initiative and referendum bill | with percentages of 20 and 10, wae | passed by the state house of represen | tatives. The vote was 63 to 50. This action followed two days of debate and the taking of ten or twelve roll calls | E. J. Fuchs’ house bill permitting | street railway companies to make con- | tracts to carry policemen and firemen | free when in full uniform and while on duty was passed by the senate. The house temperance committee killed the § oclock lid bill by J. N. Johnson and the 10 o'clock lid bill of J. F. Lee by close votes. R. C. Dunn’s two good roads bills were repassed by the house after con: | eurring in the senate amendments and | now go to Governor Eberhart for his signature. Governor Eberhart may not sign the bill giving free rides to the policemen | and firemen passed after considerable effort during the last few weeks. ADMITS WHIPPING THE BOYS Red Wing Training School Superin- | tendent Testifies. Taking the witness stand in his own behalf F. A. Whittier, superintendent of the state training school for boys at Red Wing, against whom charges of cruelty have been preferred, told the legislative investigating committee that he believed baring boys’ backs and flogging them with a leather strap —“spanking” he called it—was hu- | mane treatment, preferable to solitary confinement and preferable to shack- | Mr. Whittier admitted the existence | | of a spanking device, or place, but said he had made no calculation of the percentage of boys in the school who had been whipped. He also ad- mitted that a barrel recently had been used. | “BOOK TRUST” LOSES SUIT Contract With St. Paul Board of Edu. cation Held Illegal. | In a decision at St. Paul Judge Kelly of the Ramsey county district court holds with the St. Paul school board against the American Book com: | pany, popularly known as the “book | trust,” and declares that the geogra- phies of that company have been prop- } erly excluded from the schools. The decision is sweeping, denying the alleged right of the school board to “contract” with the American Book company or any other book concern for a term of years. It denies the pe- tition of the American Book company for a restraining order and vacates the order to show cause issued against the school board. WALTER L. FISHER. the government and the public, to know your motives, to know how you | have administered your office and to | know the motives of those who have | assailed you “I do not hesitate to say that you | have been the object of one of the most unscrupulous conspiracies for the defamation of character that his- tory can show.” And in the conclusion of his letter the president declared that “every fiber of my nature rebels against such hypocrisy (referring to the attacks upon Ballinger’s character) and nerves me to fight such a combination and such methods to the bitter end, lest success in this instance may form a demoralizing precedent. “But personal consideration for you and yours makes me feel that I have no right to ask you for a further sacrifice.” The president goes on to declare it evident that he has been himself the ulumate object of the attack and says that to insist upon Mr. Ballinger’s re maining in office “with the prospects of further efforts against you, is sel fishly to impose on you more of a bur- den than I ought to impose.” OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS Amount of Appropriations of the Re cent Congress. Washington, March 11.—Appropria- tions at the last session of congress aggregated $1,025,489,662, according to statemerts issued by former Rep- Tesentatives Tawney of Minnesota and Livingston of Georgia, who were respectively chairman and ranking Democrat of the house appropriations committee in the last congress. Mr. Tawney says this is less than $1,000,000 in excess of the total esti- mates of President Taft, on which the apvronriations are based. a A ws
