Chicago, Sept. 13.—Six republican ‘members of the Ballinger investigation committee met today and issued a statement condemning the action of the four democratic members and the one republican insurgent member who delivered a report at Minneapolis last ‘Wednesday, demanding the retirement from office of Secretary Ballinger. They declared the action at Minneapolis of what they term the “minority” to have been “according to the worst methods of ward politics. The evidence in the Ballinger case was discussed, but in the absence of a quorum, they say, no action on the case itself was possible, Adjournment was taken subject to call of the chairman, Senator Nelson. As the “minority” declined to attend today’'s conference and adjourned ‘at Minneapolis until the next session of congress, it is probable that Senator Nelson will not call another meeting until the return of Senator Flint, who, as the seventh member, would make a quorum. The Statement. The statement in part says: “It does not need to be said that such actlon,” that of the minority, “in both form and substance is wholly lawless, and it leaves it entirely un- necessary to ask what sort of justice any public servant could look for whose character was on trial in such a proceeding in the excitement of a political campaign. If there is any relation between lawless methods and the character of the results which they accomplish, this so-called verdict cor demns ils authors rather than the offi- cial under investigation. Scheme of the Democr: The report of the committee can- )t be made until December 5, when congress meets, and the meeting call- ed for September 5 was for the pur- pose of considering and ' discussing what the report to be made three months thereafter should be. There was, therefore, 1o haste or pressure for time. The acts of the democratic minority in taking temporary advan- tage of the delay of some members in reaching the meeting was an effort to substitute a prearranged scheme for the orderly deliberations and discus- sions which the duty of the committee requires. “The pretended adoption of a report by a political minority and its pubiica- tion ,as if it were the report of a com- suittée, exhibited a willingness to sa. rifice the rights and ijure the reputa- tion of the officers investigated in or- der to obtain a supposed party advan- in the pending political campai cannot reconcile such a course w $200,000 FIRE LOSS IN NEW HAVEN Two Business Blocks Burned Out— All the Department Called Out. New Haven, Sept. 14.—Fire which at one time threatened to spread through t whole block (m Church street be- tween Crown and®George, early this morning practically gutted two fou story business blocks, the Woods building, located at George and Church streets, and the Hege! building on Church street, next to it. The flames also communicated to the Oneco hotel, next to the Hegel building, but ap- Parently about one o'clock the firemen had the blaze under control and the damage to the hotel, it is believed, by fire would not be heavy The total loss is estimated at this time, conservatively, at about $200,000. The fire is said to have started on the third floor of the Woods building but its origin has not yet been de- termined. The fire is in a very densely settled part of the central city and the blaze called out the whole of the fire fight- ing force. LITTLE CHANGE IN NEW YORK FIGHT.

["Mr. Hill saia Thomas Jefferson. W1 liam L. Wilson and other great leader of damocracy could not write a satls- factory tarift bill. and no layman could do_it.

J. Lake and Charles Oniy the bias of oritism led 1o prediction as to the winner. 1t was the general impression that conferences during the night and the employment of strategy would set- tle the winner. The senatorship com- test staiked into this fight, and meny were the predictions that United States Senator Morgan Bulkeley had the bal- ance of power. If activity and num- ber of workers counted, the success of AIr. Lake assured,but Mr. Good- win's friends included many of the Dbest known politicians from every part of the state. Uncertainty About Several Places. The uncertainty over the governor- ship extends to the places of comp- troller and attorney general. For the foriner the present incumbent, Thomas D. Bradst opposing W. H. H. Hall, while four candidates are likely to be presented for the attorney gen- eralship. owing to opposition against Harry E. Back of Danielson. There was no opposition in evidence to Den- nis Blakeslee for lieusenant governor. Matthew H. Rogers for secretary of state, Costello - Lippitt for treasurer, or John Q. Tillson for congressman at large. Speaker Light Appears for Attorney General. The sensation of tie evening was the appearance of ex-Speaker John H. Light as candidate for attorney gen- al, owing to opposition to Mr. Back. ank S. Bishop of New Haven was also proposed, and a fourth name is held under cover for use in case @ compromise candidate is needed. If lake wins for governor it is expected that Hall will win for comptroller, but the party managers seemed to feel wvinced that Comptroller Bradstreet is a strong name to have on the ticket, although it will be for a third term. ‘With the break up of the pre-ar- ranged slate, rumors flew in all direc- tlons. It was evident that many con- ferences would be necessary during the night to straighten out affairs. It was believed that the first choice would be in a measure settled.
