FAMOUS SHIP SAVES
INSANE CREW OF 16
Brazilian Government Presents a
Medal to Captain for Res
cue of Fishermen
NKW YORK, May 11.—The steamer
Tocantines, a famous vessel which ran
the mined harbor of Port Arthur to
escape from the Russians, swings
gracefully at her dock iv Brooklyn to
day after a trip from Brazil bringing a
new tale of adventure and rescue.
A gold medal won by the captain and
nted by the Brazilian government
commemorates the latest achievement
of tho little ship—the saving <>f sixteen
tishermen off the Brazilian coast on
March 22. The first of the sixteen men
was sighted by the lookout before
dawn. He was clinging to a plank In
the open sea, and was waving a weak
arm to the oncoming ship. A school of
sharks swam about him, and his res
cuers found that his legs had been bad
ly torn by the big fish. The man had
been in the water twenty-four hours
and had eaten his last meal six days
before. He had set out from Rio Ja
neiro with fifteen companions. A squall
took their rig- and left them to drift
helplessly. All went crazy but this
one man, and he was compelled to take
to the water to escape his companions'
frenzy.
After hearing his story the Tocan
tines cruised about for several hours,
finally locating the wreck and rescu
ing all the fishermen.

BALLINGER OWES
HIS RISE TO T.R.
Senator Piles Says Roosevelt
Coaxed Judge Into First
Federal Office
TAFT'S FRIENDSHIP FOLLOWS
i Denial Made That Men Interested
in Alaska Claims Caused
Appointment
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, May 11.—Rising to a
question of personal privilege, Senator
i Piles of Washington today explained
1 to the senate the circumstances under
which Secretary Ballinger had received
his appointment as secretary of the in
| terior, and also those under which he
| had been appointed commissioner of
the general land office.
The explanation was called forth by
liie intimation 01 AiLuriiey twamieis,
counsel for 1.. R. Glavis at the Ballln
ger-Pinchot investigation today, that
Mr. Ballinger'a appointment as com
missioner, had been Influenced by Sir.
Piles at tin- instance of persons who
were Interested in the Cunning-hum coal
claims.
"No man in the state of Washington
or elaewhere ever miKgested to me that
I should recommend Judge Ballinger
for either position," said Mr. Piles.
"President Roosevelt said that If Mr.
Ballinger'a appointment would not be
objectionable tn me, he would be glad
to have me uire him, because, as he
said. Secretary Garfteid, who hyd been
a schoolmate of Mr. Ballinger, was
most anxious to obtain his services.
t. r. vmota uuomm
"He asked me tn urge him strongly,"
continued Mr. Piles, "becauaa he .-aid
he really needed such a man In that
office.
"('(implying with tho president's re
quest, 1 stnt a telegram strongly urjr
ing Mr. Ballinser's acceptance. On tlie
next day 1 recalved :i message from
Mr. B&lllnger declining the appoint
ment. President Roosevelt and Mr.
Garfleld then said they would wire
Ballinger."
Two or threo days later, Mr. Piles
■aid, he received a message from Mr.
Ballinper announcing his acceptance
because of the urgency of the president.
"There are the facts, the absolute.
fai i>\ and they would be verified by
Mr. Roosevelt under oath," asserted the
senator.
In respect to the appointment of Mr.
Ballinger as secretary of the Interior by
President Tait, -Mr. Piles said it w:is
through the newspapers he had re
ceived his iirst intimation that such ap
pointment might be made.
"I subsequently saw Judge Ballin
ger," he said, "and I asked him if he
desired the appointment. He replied
lie did not, explaining that he hoped
his friend, Mr. GarfteTd, would bo re
appointed. Subsequently I heard Mr.
Balllnger was to be railed into the
cabinet, but when I spoke to my col
league, Senator Jones, on the subject
I found he had not been consulted any
more than I hail been. We came to the
conclusion the selection of a cabinet
officer was a family affair with the
president, and no concern of oure."
Mr. Piles concluded with the state
ment, that the president himself would
verify all he (Piles) had said.

case in point. Carriers had Increased
the rates on farm and dump wagons
from Missouri river territory to the
Pacific coast from $1.25 a 100 pounds
to $1.35, the reason announced being
that the former rate was abnormally
low. Subsequently it was discovered
wagons were being moved to the Pa
cific coast terminals by water, and the
$125 rate was restored. The restora
tion of the rate induced the Kentucky
Wagon Manufacturing company and
the Millburn Wagon company of To

fore the commission, demanding repar
ation on shipments on which tney had
paid the $1.35 rate.
The commission denied the repara

by water competition to restore tho
lower rate in order to get business and
not because the higher rato was un
reasonable.

HIGH COURT TO SIT

[Associated Presa]
"WASHINGTON. Mayy 11.—With
summer fast approaching, the supremo
court of the United States will DO.
called upon next Monday to adjudicate
i ease Involving fifty cans of eggs.
Nearly five months ago the United
States district court of Illinois reached
the conclusion that the eggs were not
Just the thing for human consumption,
and directed Its marshal "to totally
destroy tnem."
Now the supreme court will be
asked to pass on Jurlsdictlonni nues
tions. but the eggs themselves will not
be brought Into court. The marshal
may have performed his duty.
The eggs camo Into this vale of tears
probably, some time In the curly part
of 1908, long enough ago, had not
destiny been against them, to have
permitted their strutting around the
barnyard by this time with chicks of
their own by their side.
They made their way to the Hipolyte
Egg company of St. I.ouis, Mo. Then 1
the shells were stripped from them and
Plymouth Rooks and Leghorns were
as one in five-gallon cans. They were
preserved In boric acid.
When they were shipped to Thomas
& Clarke, bakers, at Peoria, 111., in the
fall of 1909, the government procured
an order to seine them. The court held
the boric acid was a deleterious in
gredient.
The Hipolyte Kgg company wants the
supreme court to dispose of the case
at once. One of the reasons given for
this request is that this is the first
case in the supreme court that Involves
the question of a federal court under
the national pure food act. and the
extent to which the law applies to an
article of food after it has been shipped
into a state.

'HELP!' BEGS SUGAR CO.
OF COURT; SAVE US!'
American Refining Corporation
Fights, for Preservation of
the 'Immunity Bath'
WASINOTON. May 11.—Fighting fnr
the preservation of the '•immunity
bath," the American Sugar nefining
njmpany today appealed to the su
preme court of the United States for
protection against the government.
The controversy arises from an In
vestigation by a federal grand Jury in
New York. The Jury desired to ex
amine two specified books of the cor
poration. Instead of issuing a sub
poena to the secretary of the corpor
ation or other official requiring him to
appear with the books, United ptates
Attorney Wise procurer! a subpoena
from Judge Holt directed to the cor
poration itself.
An attempt was made by the eor
poratioh to have Judge Laeombe quash
the subpoena. He declined and when
the corporation failed to comply fined
it $500 for contempt.
Judge Laeombe said the procedure
was no doubt a wholly novel practice.
He added that it seemed to be a logical
outcome of the distinction that cor
porations, unlike Individuals, were not
protected by the fifth amendment to
the constitution, which provide* that
no persons shall bo compelled in any
criminal case to be a witness against
himself.
Judge Laeombe said he was not pre
pared to assent to the proposition that
tin officer producing the books is en
titled to volunter testimony as to what
the books contain, nor was the .lurlße
Impressed with the argument that the
corporation could not physically pro
duce the books.
