TAFT'S LETTER
WAS PREPARED
BY BALLINGER
Cleveland Press Today Pub
lishes Startling Statement
About The Exoneration.
SAYS PRESIDENT COULD
NOT EXAMINE RECORDS
Special tu United Près» Wtre.
Cleveland, May 14:—The Cleve
land Press today publishes the fol
lowing from a staff correspondent at
Washington :
"The whole truth as to the cir
cumstances surrounding the prepar
ation of the elean bill of health
which President Taft gave Secretary
Balllnger is made public * r the first
time. For weeks there has been
more than a suspicion that Taft bad
very few facts before him when he
publicly exonerated Balllnger. The
amazing truth Is that the President
not only could not have 'examined
the whole record (which consisted
of 900 printed pages) φοβ( careful
ly,' .hJit_UJ*t-tlir"BtHtem<int he issued
exonerating Balllnger Was prepared
In a large measure by Oscar Lawler,
lower officer of the Interior depart
ment in collaboration with Balllnger
and the department officials. Hav
ing written his own acquittal, Ballln
ger presented the document to the
President, the latter adopting it as
his own, and using much of the
same language.
"When the record was received by
congress, an important letter In the
first person, and very substantially
the Taft letter, but dictated by Law
ler, was left out. The story of this
mysterious Lawler memorandum Is
told by the mân who typewrote it.
He detailed his service with the gov
ernment and employment in the of
fice of the thrti Secretary of Interior
Garfield. When the latter left, Ker
by was retained by Ballinger.
"It was while he was with Ballln
ger on a trip through the West that
the secretary received the Glavls
fharges from Taft. The trip wae cut
/ y>rt· On Monday night, after their
> turn, Balllnger and Lawyer left
rbr Beverley. They did not return
until Thursday. Then l.-wler took
up quarters In Bellinger's private of
fice, calling in Massey, another ste
nographer, and Kerby for dictation.
It was obvious, says Kerby, from the
way Lawler dictated the letter, was
was Intended.
"No attempt was made at conceal
ment. The letter began 'Sir,' re
f®jrc3· to Balllnger as 'you' In each
case, apd the personal pronoun ·'!'
was ufeed throughout. From the
context Τ could be no other than
Taft hlmceli. ProbaMy half a dozen
drafts were made before the final
one was accepted.
"Without attempting to fo'ce my
own conclusion upon any reader of
this statement, I want It remem
hered that this was the draft of the
letter exonerating Balllnger."
IΡ NEW WELLS
AT RUNYON TO
BE USED SOON
Within a few days, the installation of
the ground storage ^ipe, leading from
the sixteen recently dug wells to the
pump house at Hunyon will be complet
ed, and this city will be supplied with
water from these wells. Ever since
February, contractor C. P. Hodgson, of
Metuchen. has been laying the 6,000
feet of pipe connecting the wells with
the pump house. Practically all of the
pipe has been laid with the exception
of a few lengths.
The city is now ineured against a
water famine such as occurred l»,st fall
when it became necessary to resort to
pond water. The need of the wells -3
caused by the increasing consumption
of water by local factories, which now
use three quarters of the supply.
Work on the sub-foundation for the
new 12,000,000 gallon pump now in the
course of construction is progressing
rapidly and will be finished within the
course of a month. Castings for the
pump have been made and upon their
a-rival at Runyon, will undergo an in
spection by Water Commissioner
Grieve.

GRANBURY THE
SCENE OF AN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Two Popular Young Girls
of That Place Run Down
and Badly Hurt.
WERE GOING OUT TO SPEND
NIGHT TO SEE COMET
Special to the EVENINO NEWS.
Cranbury, May 14:—This entire
community was greatly shocked yes
terday afternoon when two popular
young girls of this place were run
down by an automobile on the Now
Brunswick road Just outside of the
town and seriously hurt. There is
some doubt as to their recovery.
The girls are Miss Sara Perrine,
daughter of S. H. Perrine, of the
First National Bank here, and Miss
Myra Havens, daughter of Walter
Havens, who resides about two miles
from town. Both girls are high
school students and are leaders in
the younger social clrclee in the
community.
Miss Perrine had her left leg
broken off completely Just above the
ankle and lies in a semi-conscious
condition. Several doctors have been
working over h&' ' jr houjrs in an et*
fort to save he% .ife.
Miss Havens is hurt about the
head and back and It is feared that
her spine has been injured.
Both girls are at their respective
homes, wherrj tbey lie in a precari
ous condition.
Miss Perrine and Miss Havens
were walking oir ,o the home of
John D. Perrine, a short distance
from the town, to spend the night
and to see the comet in the early
morning nours. There was an auto
mobile coming toward them and an
other was approaching them, from
the rear. In watching the one com
ing toward them It Is supposed they
did not hear the warning from the
one back of them. They stepped
aside to give a clear road to the ono
machine and as it passed them they
stepped directly in front of the one
which was going in the opposite
direction. They were both struck
and hurled a considerable distance.
In the machine were E. J. Raieer,
of Philadelphia, whose place of busi
ness is at 51F Arch street, his two
sons, a trairai nurse and a dentist.
They were going to New York. As
soon as the accident happened they
stopped and the nurse did what she
could for the girls until the physi
cians arrived. Doctors Benjamin Van
Dyke and H. P. Symmes responded
to the call and were soon on the
scene. W. Russell Silvers rushed
Mi·. Perrine to the scene and brought
his daughter home. Miss Havens
was also removed to her home.
The auto party was greatly affect
ed by the accident and remained In
the town, doing all in their power
for the girls. The people are unani
mous that it was purely an accident
and no one is blamed. Mr. Raiser
told the doct.org to do everything
possible, he ordered fresh flowers
placed In the girls rooms every morn
ing and promised to bear all the ex
pense of their treatment.
Dr. Reddan, of Trenton, was sum
moned for Miss Perrine and his skill
is added to that of the local physi
cians.
The accident happened about 4
ο clock and the town has been wrap
ped in gloom ever since. The girls
were very popular and one of them
was to have taken part in the com
mencement exercises of the high
school next month, although neither
will graduate until next year.

INCREASING
INTEREST IN
THE REVIVAL
Religious Fervor Takes Place
of Vanquished Apathy
Big Open Air Meeting.
"HO MAN CARES FOR MY
SOUL," LAST NIGHT
Preceded by a monster street
demonstration In which Rev. Mr.
Ackley, Dr. Biederwolf's assistant,
and Hemer Rhodeheaver, trombone
ahd vocal soloist, appeared before a
crowd of 1,000 assembled at State
and Smith streets, the evangelistic
service In the Auditorium last night
was more enthusiastic than either of
the two previous services. Possibly
a larger audience than that of the
night before was on hand last night,
nnd fcee from the chilly draughts of
Thursday night, the assemblage par
ticipated In the ifieetlng with an In
crease of religious zeal and fervor.
Rev. Mr. Ackley and Mr. Rhode
heaver appeared at Smith and State
streets about 7 o'clock and held a
street service lasting about a half
hour. Mr. Rhodeheaver played sev
eral popular airs on the trombone
and Rev. Mr. Ackley spoke a few
words.
The meeting In the Auditorium
was commenced by a song séVvice,
the chorus singing "Peace be Still."
After Mr. Rhodeheaver's rendition
of "The Palms" on a trombone, Dr.
G. C. Wilding led in prayer, making
an earnest plea for God's blessing on
the people of Perth Amboy.
Following the recital of the Lord's
prayer by the entire audience, Dr.
Biederwolf made the announcements
for today and tomorrow. The ser
vices will be as follows:
Today—Street service, 7 P. M.,
special music by Mr. Rhodeheaver.
Dr. Biederwolf will speak. 7:30 P.
M., chorus at Auditorium. 8 P. M„
Dr. Biederwolf will speak.
Sunday—Usual morning services
In all churches. 2:30 o'clock, men's
meeting in tlie Auditorium; Dr.
Biederwolf will speak on "The
Vhite Life." 3:30 o'clock, Miss
May Parshall will address an audi
ence of women at the Presbyterian
church. 7:30 o'clock, song service
at the Auditorium. 8 o'clock, Dr.
Biederwolf will deliver his noted
sermon, the "Moral Leper."
A meeting for young women was
held in the Danish M. E. church yes
terday afternoon. Miss Parshall
spoke to the young women. A large
number were present.
Biederwolf Sayings.
I don't want you to come and be
saved; I want you come and be
saviours.
There are people here tonight who
haven't given five minutes' thought
today on spiritual things.
Some people In Perth Amboy are
daffy over social functions, card
games and dancing.
You ought to be concerned about
your soul.
Swap some of your brains for a
little backbone.
"No Man Cares for My Soul."
The evangelist chose as the sub
ject of his sermon last night a pass
age from Psalms: "No Man Cares
for My Soul." His address was an
appeal to church workers. "I don't
want you to come and be saved," he
thundered, "I want you to come and
be saviours. You are dreaming away
your lives in luxury and ease, while
hundreds about you are dropping off
into hell. I would hate to be some
of the church members here. There
are those among you daffy over soc
ial functions, card games and dances.
You have not thought five minutes
about your soul. You care neither
for heaven or hell. You give all
y'our time and thought to material,
sensual life.
"Listen!" and the eyes of the
evangelist in a sweeping glance rest
ed upon every upturned face before
him, "Mind, soul, spirit and thought
are the ultimate realities.
"You need not argue to me that
there Is no hell; your own conscience
will tell you that there is. If you
pastors are not preaching the doc
trine of eternal retribution you are
not preaching the gospel. Jesus said
more about hell than all of the other
writers put together.
"The strange thing to me is that
you people know what you know and
profess what you do, and you do not
say a word to your neighbor about
his soul.
"Tnere are two words whlrli I
want to say more tenderly than all
others. These are 'eternity' and
'lost.' All the devils in hell tonight
are holding a conclave and are trying
to sink their talons In your soul and
to draw you down into the bottom
leas pits. The angels are trying to
cheer you to do right."
iioil's Spirit Broods Over City.
"God's spirit is brooding over
Perth Amboy," continued the evan
gelist. "Men In the barber shops, In
the stores and on the streets are
talking of the meetings at the Audi
torium. A little work and they will
be saved. You are quick to express
your sympathy in times of physical
distress but how little you think of
spiritual salvation.
"How quickly sympathy went out
to stricken San Francisco when a
great calamity fell upon It. A stream
of gold flowed toward the far west
ern city. You are always quick to
help In physical need but a spiritual
need you disregard. You think lost
souls do not want, to be saved.
"We frequently deceive ourselves
in regard to the matter; people do
want ug to care for them and to try
to help them. There is a wonderful
field for work right here In Perth
Amboy and If you will only try to
help people God will bless you.
"The reason many of you are not
Interested in people's souls Is that
you ere too Interested in other
things. The spiritual part of some
of you is so unreal that you do not
pay any attention to It. There are
people in this audience who have not
given five minutes' thought to their
spiritual welfare since these meet
ings began.
"Many of us have our minds so
fixed on other things that we forget

H. S. SENIORS
COMET PARTY
THIS MORNING
Various kinds of partie», have been
held in this city ever since the name
of the place evolved from "Po Ambo"
to its present appelation, but last night,
or rather this morning saw its first
"Comet Party.'
Not original, however, is the comet
party. For several weeks past, ever
since the first appearance of llalley's
comet parties of this kind have nightly
been held In New York and other large
cities, and many people In this city
have waited up flights to see the con
stipation, but last night was the first
time that local people combined pleasure
with star gazing. And it was the Sen
ior class of the high school, the mem
bers of Which are preparing to grad
uate in .Tune, who held the party.
Garbed In heavy clStMng, the seriitfrS,
flCwty-eight of them, at three o'clock
this morning assembled at the home
of Mies Kate Oeterhout, in Woodruff
Place, and after a half hour or more
spent in quiet, enjoyment, no playing or
singing could be indulged in for fear
of waking neighbors who take no inter
est In comets—the party journeyed to
the water front and waited upon Guig
ue's dock for the tailed star to appear
Not alone were the seniors, for the shore
front was lined with groups of sky-gaz
ing people all eagerly awaiting a sight
of the comet. There wero fully 200 per
sons between Bayard's Beach and High
street, all awaiting the constellation.
To pass away the time, barn dancing
and singing were indulged in on the
dock. One student even went so far
as to secure a canoe and with a number
of classmates make a trip out to mid
strea m.
About 4:30 o'clock, over the trees on
Staten Island appeared a faint streak
in the heavens. It was followed by a
bluish colored ball, the head of the com
et. Instead of moving forward, the
ball seemed to be receding, and con
tinued rising in the sky until dawn ob
literated the last faint trace.
Returning to Miss Oeterhout's home,
the Seniors were served with a break
fast. Too early to return to their re
spective homes, the class walked over
the county bridge to South Amboy, and
returned about 7:30 o'clock.
There were but nineteen girls in the
party and but nine boys. Those pres
ent were: Misses! .ate Oeterhout, Ethel
Beebe, Ada Anecketein, Ida Poleneky,
Carrie Ernst, Agnes Yorgensen, Gene
vieve Brennan, Kate Wilentz, Belle
Dorsey, Elsie Wittenberg, Beatrice Ja
cobson, Ethel VanDusen, Anna Allen,

ener and Esther .lessen. Messrs. Mat
thew Urbanski, Herbert Strangberg,
Wesley Fletcher, Millard Boughton, Bu
fus Allen, Melville Wilding, Charles
Hinkel Joseph Peegan and Donald Ken
nedy. Eugene Davis and John Hitzel
borjf, of the high school faculty, accom
panied the party on the walk to South
Amboy.
