Accuser of Ballinger Makes
Statements That Revive In

INTIMATION THAT POLITICS

Evidence Also That Pinchot
May Have Part in Pub

WASIUNGTON, Jan. 2S. Proceed
ings in tho Bnllingcr-Pinchot inquirv,
which, up to this time, have consisted
largely of reading into the records, let
ters, telegrams, etc., heretofore made
pnhlic. by President ,Taft. took on a
livelier aspect today when Tj. If. Glavis,
continuing It is testimony sgainst Sec
rejary Ballinger, told of various inter
views ho had had with tho latter when
he was in and out of the government
service.
Mr. Glavis declared that in one of
these interviews, in October. IflOS, Mr.
Ballinger told him he was having a
hard time trying lo collect campaign
contributions, and thai, two men in
volved in the Cunningham claims, who
had been liberal contributors in .the
pnst, had declined to contribute because
Uiej- were angry at not being granted
patents for Alaska coal lands.
Meat for Democrats.
"Representative dames of Kentucky,
Dcmoeralic member of the commission,
pounced upon this testimony and cross
examined the witness at. some length.
Glavis said that. Mr. Ballinger asked
him to hold up the Alaska eases until
aflcr tho election. Ifc agreed to do
this because ho had his hands full with
another case.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of the day was the distribution
at both the morning and afternoon ses
sions of .a quantity of press matter
which purported to intcrprot and point
out tho significance of tho testimony
thus far given at the inquir;.
The morning matter eamo in an en
velope of the American Conservation
association, of which GirTord PinehoL
recently was chosen president. This af
ternoon matter began:
Keeping Up Agitation.
"Tho important developments of the
morning .session today were' and then
went oi to rnclle .tlpit- the proceedings,
,had placed .Seerotoo' Ballinger in an
adversi; light. It was said that this
service would continuo throughout the
investigation.
Thomas TJ. Shipp, former pecrctnry to
Senator Bcveridgeof ludiana, -who re
signed that position to become press
ageiit of the .bureau of forestry under
Mr. Pinchot, and who became an ofltcer
of the Conservation association when it
was formed, is a constant attendant at
the hearing.
Tho morning session was devoted to
an endeavor by the "prosecution'' to
show the haste' in which Mr. Ballinger.
as commissioner of the laud office, had
urged the Cunningham-Alaska claims to
clear listing for patents. Aside from
documenlarj' evidence read, the after
noon session was taken up almost wholly
with Glavis' story of his interviews
with Mr, Ballinger concerning tho Cun
ningham land cases.
'1 ho inquiry will be resumed at 10
o'clock tomorrow.
An executive sessiou of the investi
gation committee delayed the opening of
today's proceedings until 10:3-- a. in., at
which hour Louis R. Glavis again took
the witness stand.
All I ho members of tho committee
were present at the opening of the ses
sion. Mr. Pinchot aud his dismissed as
sistants of tho forest service were early
on hand, but Secretary Ballinger again
was absent.
Attorney Brandeis, representing Gla
vis, presented to the committee a long
list of witnesses to be summoned.
Glavis took up his story where ho
left it AVednesdny afternoon, giving his
testimony in response. to questions from
his attorney.
Glavis snid that United Slates At
torney Hoyt had suggested to him in
1007 that, he should lake up the matter
of the Alaska coal lands direct with
Secretary of the Tnterior Garfield.
"But T did not. think it would look
well to go over l ho head of my imme
diate superiors," he added.
Did Write to Schwartz. t
Glavis said he did write to IT. IT.
Schwartz, then a chief of tho field di
vision, saying he was worried about
tho Alaskan situation and would hko
to confide in him.
"It will pain 3'ou as much as it has
pained me," the letter ran, "but T am
sure you will want to learn the truo
situation."
"What; Alaska claims did you refer
to in that letter?" asked Eonresentn-
tico Olmstead.
"All of them," replied tho witness.
"Some 900 in all?"
"Yes."
At this time Mr. Ballinger was com
missioner of the laud office.
Attorney Brandols next took up tlic

to call attention to certain letteni which
nhowed the pnrt Mr. Ballinger played
as commissioner In directing the Jmiulry.
Ilia purpose in this, lie .ald. was to in
dicate that President Tnft and Attorney
General VIckiuliHin were mistaken,
when thoy reached the stated conclusion
that Mr. Balllngcr's participation In the
matter hud heen merely formal.
Amonjr the letters read was one from
Special Agent If. T. Jonee. calling atten
tion to tliu alleged fradulcnt character of
tho Alaslcau claims'.
"That letter was written before Glnvla
eamn into tho matter In any way?" cpics
tloned Senator Nelson.
"Ych," replied Mr. Brandeis.
"Then you don't claim Glavis originally
called nttcntion to these claims."
"No; in addition to .loncs report there
had been one from Special Agent Tove."
"Didn't L.OVC recommend the Cunning

THE BOND QUESTION
THE ANSWER
IE TALBOT TELLS
Sensational Testimony of Reno
Woman Who Is Charged With
Killing Husband.
DECLARES SHE RECEIVED
MOST BRUTAL TREATMENT
Says Talbot Struck Her Just Be
fore Shooting Occurred, She
Knows'Nnt How.
PEiN'O. New. .Tan. 2S- Mrs. Mae
Talbot, the defeudant in the sensational
murder ease, which has beeu occupy
ing the time of the court for the past
five ilnys. took the stand today in her
own behalf and told the story of her
life subsequent to her marriago to A I
Talbot, whom she is alleged to have
murdered.
It was a sensational story and held
the attention of tho several hundred
spectators to the close. Tho story was
told between strenuous arguments of
couusel over the admissibility of cer
tain portions of it.
Brutal Treatment Changed,
According to Mrs. Talbot, her hus
band treated her in a brutal manner,
often threatening to kill her and beat
ing her horribly at limes. On the night
before the shooting Mrs. Talbot stated
that her husband gave her a fearful
beating, kicking her and grabbing her
by tho hair, pulling her from her bed.
Tier condition was such as to necessi
tate tho services of a physician. The
next, day she met her husband in an
attorney's office for tho purpose of
settling property rights preliminary to
bringing an action for divorce. During
the discussion an altercation ensued and
Talbot struck her. The woman slated
that this dazed her and she remem
bered hearing several shots and the
pistol which she had in her muff fell
to the floor. She then tied and did not
know thnt her husband had been shot
until told so h- the sheriff a few hours
later.
During one of their qunrrels Mrs.
Talbot stated (hat her husband told
her that she was possessed of a fine
voice and a handsome face aud figure.
She could earn her living, he said, in
two wars, either by singing or by lead
ing a life of shame.
Mrs. Talbot was subjected to a
gruelling cross examination by the
state's attorney, who laid her whole
past, life bare. She was quite belliger
ent at times and engaged in frequent
wordy combats with the opposing counsel.

The second annual convention of the
good roads advocates came to a close
Friday afternoon. Interest in the
meeting grew from the beginning and
pnhy reached its crest when tho meet
ing was ready to adjourn.
Tho next; meeting will be held in
Ogden July 5 and fi of the present
year: that is, the meeting of the Intcr
mountain Good TJoads association,
which has been organized. The Utah
Good Eoads association continues its
existence, and will work as an integ
ral part of the interstate association.
During the hours of the closing day
the committee on resolutions made its
report. From this was eliminated the
specific declaration presented by Mr.
Glasmann "Wednesday for tho build
ing of twenty miles of good road each
year by the state. This feature is in
cluded, however, in that part of the
resolution which declares for san in

having t.heir organi7.ation the Utah
Good Roads association absorbed by

Governor , Spry was re-elected president
and James E. Jennings- secretary.
In tho morning session J. H. Dodge,
a road expert representing the bureau
nf good roads of the department of ag
riculture, delivered an address and also
gave the results of tests made by the
government of various samples of Utah
material sent to Washington for an
alysis. Peter G. Johnston of Blackfoot, Ida.,
delivered an address on behalf of Gov
ernor J. IT. Brady of thnt state, in
which he discussed the progress of road
building in Idaho.
The earth road was briefly discuspcd
by Prof. IVicliard K. Lyman of the Uni
versity of Utah. Tom Homer of Salt
Lake made a brief address, in which
he declared thai, the engineers and
scientific men must, in spite of what
may be said derngatorj- to them, bo
Ihe ones to outline the work of good
road building and to point out the way
in which good roads may be obtained.
Several vice presidents reported for
different counties
Bcvonuo for Roads.
R. P. Fuller of Cheyenne proposed a.
plan for raising revonue for the build
ing of good roads in the west. He
proposed that a memorial be sent to
congress asking thai 1,000.000 acres of
land bo sot aside for the benefit of road
funds. This suggestion met with in
stant, approval.
John Dem of this city, who has been
chairman of the convention, was so
lected chairman of a committee of rep
resentative men from each of the three
stales, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, to
memorialize the legislatures of the dif
ferent states and also to send a com
municnlioii to the congress of the
United States.
When tho convention meets in Og
den in July, Mayor Glasmann says, the
delegates will be given an opportunity
to see for themselves Ihe actual build
ing of the last milo of macadam road
in Weber's comprehensive system of
north and south highway. Government
builders will bo on hand, snid Mr. filas
man 11. nnd tho delegates will be con
vinced that macadamized roads do not
cost .$20,000 a mile, as had been stated,
but that Weber eount3' is building them

All roads in the interinonulain coun
try lead to the stato fair grounds today
and these roads will be traveled by
many thousands of men, women aud
children, who appreciate the great op
portunity for seeing tho world's most
skillful and daring aviator, Louis Paul
han, demonstrate his mastery over the
air with his record making aeroplane.)
The gates at the fair grounds will be
opened at noon and Paulhan will ap
pear for his first flight at 2:30. This
flight will mark the beginning of a new
chapter in vthe. history of aeronautics,
inasmuch as M. Paulhan 's flights in
Salt Lake will be tho first ever under-.
taken at an 'altitude above practical !
sea level.
Paulhan will ' give exhibitions Sat
urday and Sunday afternoons from 2. .10
until dusk, t.ryiug for records for speed,
altitude and endurance, and he has an
nounced through his manager that he
will also make 'a cross country flight.
Hundreds of applications tor an op
portunity to . make a flight with the
noted Frenchman were received at the
Commercial club Friday. No encour
agenient whatever could be given to
any who want lo make the hazardous
experiment. A strong effort will he
made, however, to arrange with M.
Paulhan to allow Lieutenant Alva Lee
to accompany him. Lieutenant Leo
bears the distinction of being the small
