CALCIMINE BRUSH
IS HOT PROBABLE
Investigation Will Be Fair
Both to Baliinger and
To Pinchot.
DECISION NOW REACHED
FRIENDS OF FORESTER CAN'T UN
DERSTAND WHY SHERMAN AND
CANNON SHOULD SELECT JOINT
COMMITTEE.
Washington, Dec. 28. The so-called
Ballinger-Plnchot Investigation will be
made by a joint committee composed
of six senators and six representatives
Four of the senators will be republi
cans and two will be democrats. The
same rule will govern the appointment
of the house memrers of the commit
tee. The senate members of the com
mittee will be appointed by Vice-President
Sherman and those from the
house by Speaker Cannon. This gen
eral outline of the investigating pro
cram was decided on by the leaders
after Senator Knute Nelson of Minne
sota had conferred with the president,
The probability Is that Senator Nelson
will be chairman of the joint commit
tee. He said today that he was not
seeking the assignment, but if chosen
he would accept and do his utmost to
see that the investigation was thor
ough and fair to all interests at stake.
Why Taft Is Displeased.
While the makeup of the joint com
mitiee nas noi yet uecu asic uiwn,
the suggestion has been made that the
members be chosen from the various
committees in the senate and house
that have directly to do with the sub
jects that are likel to be touched on
in the investigation. This plan, it
was pointed out, would put on the com
mittee from the senate some one repre
senting the committee on agriculture
and forestry, conservation of natural
resources, Indian affairs, irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands and public
lands; and from the house representa
tion from the committee on agriculture
Indiana affairs, irrigation of arid lands
and nubile lands.
Friends of the president say he is
greatly displeased with the talk in
Borne quarters that this investigation
is to be a whitewash for Secretary Bal-
lineer and the department of the in
terior. It is because of this talk, these
friends say, that the president is some
what Insistent that the joint commit
tee be made up of men representing
the committees above named, and that
men in whom tho public has the ut
most confidence shall be chosen.
Pinchot's Friends Suspicious.
Some of the friends of Forester Pin
chot are expressing disappointment
that the Joint committee Is to be ap
nnlnt.ed bv Vice-President Sherman
and Speaker Cannon. They are say
in orlvately that these two men have
never been overly friendly to Pinchot
or his policies; but they are expressing
the hope that with the President insist
ing on the appointment of a square
deal committee no attempt will be
made to put on the joint committee
senators or representatives who are
known enemies of the forest service or
the general conservation idea.
It was said today that the introduc
tion of the joint resolution calling for
the investigation and providing for the
appointment of the. joint committee
will be left to Senator Jones, of Wash
ington state. Tho resolution is to be
presented a week from tomorrow when
congress reconvenes.
Secretary MacVeagh Trapped.
Secretary MacVeagh has been trap
ped by his own economy plan. The
treasury clerks are smiling, while in
the custom houses throughout the
country excepting New York, uncompli
mentary remarks are being matte.
It Is the custom of the treasury de
nartment every year to supply its em
ployes with a handsomely engraved
calendar. Retrenchment having
struck it for 1!10. the department is
sued an order that only enough calen
H.r. should he nrinted to supply the
treasury building in Washington. This
of course, cut out the custom house and
treasury branches everywhere else. The
limited number was duly printed, when
It was discovered that a regulation of
the department existed forbidding the
display in any custom house of any
calendar other than that issued by the
department. The order since has been
modified to exempt the New York cus
tom house, but e-sewhere the clerks
must glance at their morning papers
to learn the date of the month.

light by one of the conscripts dying as
a result of an overdose of the medi
cine.
In Germany, where the conscript is
frequently treated with the greatest
harshness, there are very few towns
where there are not specialists whose
living depends solely in inducing such
a condition of affairs as will render
young men exempt by reason of unfit
ness. In the French army it is quite com
mon for youths to feign all manner of
Ills, deafness being the usual ailment
trusted to in order to escape the serv
ice. As a result the military doctors
have made an especial study of meth
ods of detecting feigned deafness and
to trap the cunning youth who acts
the part of a deaf man.
Another common practice in France
Is to tamper with the eyesight though
this frequently results in permanent
injury. For instance, short sight is
Christmas with his parents Mr. and produced by wearing powerful con
cave glasses for a considerable time
despite the risk of bringing about per
manent blindness. It Is no uncom
mon occurrence for mea to commit sui
cide rather than submit to forced serv
ice in the army.
In eastern Europe most brutal meth
ods are adopted by parents In order
that their sons may be able to work
for them Instead of serving in the
army. The boys are frequently ill
treated, and It is not at all uncommon
even for their limbs to be broken or
their sight to be destroyed in order to
prevent any likelihood of their having
to become soldiers.
Switzerland probably has the cheap
est army and the least burdensome
methods of conscription, the service
being much lighter than In the other
continental armies. Indeed, the con
script in the infantry army has to un
dergo actual training for only 135 days
during the entire period of his service.

New York, Dec. 28. That the De-
partment of the Interior is working
against conservation just as energetic
ally now as ever in the past, will be al
leged by Collier's in its issue of Janu
ary 1st. One charge is that Frederick
H. Newell, the director of the Reclama
tion service, is being interfered with
by the Interior Department because his
work is displeasing to large private ir
rigation interests. On this subject the
paper says:
"The future of the West rests largely
upon irrigation. U.der government ir
rigation projects the cost of the water
to the user varies from three to five
dollars a year, or at the end of ten
years the water-user owns the water
absolutely. The lend costs him not
over $2. Under private Irrigation pro
ects, controlled in many cases by large
interests, the settler is compelled to
pay originally for the land from $30O
to $1,00) an acre, and from $5 to $
an acre for the water. The govern
ment official who will discourage gov
ernment projects vill, of course be
popular with the private irrigation in
terests. Director Newell of the Re
clamation Sservice is not popular with
the private Interests. He Is working
for the welfare of farmers of the fu
ture, and that kind of official integri
ty pays few financial dividends. It
is treason to the lend and water loot
ers. Now we suggest to various sena
tors and representatives that they find
out exactly what has been done to Mr.
Newell in Washington In the last few
weeks.
"Observe the make-up of any investi
gating committee of the house or sen
ate with the closefet scrutiny. The
shrewdest politicians in the nation are
at work. A committee which shall
honestly attempt to get at the whole
truth will be none to easy to obtain.
The Senate Public Land committee
would be a joke."
An even more serious charge is that
the Interior Department is at the pres
ent moment resorting to trickery to I
defeat the contentions of the govern-
ment in the suits now being conducted
in Seattle over the Cunningham claims.
This attempted treachery is described
by Collier's as follows:
"Are you, O patient reader, a Com
mon Person? Then, in combat with
a Special Interest, you are powerful as
an unarmed baby fighting with a bull.
There have been inquiries about what
we meant when, two weeks ago. we
said that, amid all present virtuous
noise, sleight-of-hand was being exer
cised as usual in the department of
Achilles. Here is one illustration:
You have noticed something about
hearings in Seattle. The supposed pur
pose of those hearings is that the In
terior Department shall derend the
public domain while attorneys for
claimants urge their case. This com
edy was arranged for the innocent i
spectator. What actually confronted
the department was how it could lose
the suits without exposure. The rath
er clever scheme agreed upon was to
send an honest but incredibly Ignorant
youth to represent the government.
The Interior Department selected a
man named Sheridan. It has careful
ly decorated the record with tributes to
his genius. Actually, he had one
year's experience as a subordinate spe
cial agent in Denver. He emerged
from a night law school course in
1U07. Of the ageats who were famil
iar with these cases, Glavls had been
discharged, and the others wrre care
fully sent away to distant points.
"Lawyers, listen. Sheridan object
ed to a question on cross-examination
because it was a leading question.
When one of his ovn questions, on di
rect examination, was objected to as
leading, Sheridan gravely declared he
had the right to indicate to his wit
nesses what answer he expected. You
don't believe such ignorance possible?
Ask those who were at the hearing.
And Sheridan is opposed to two of
the leading lawyers in the West.
"If the plan to lose the cases in Seat
tle is successful, what follows? The
Cunningham claims go to Dennett.
You know about Dennett, from our is
sue of two weeks ago. Next they go
to Pierce, the same who has already
struggled to push them through. Per
haps our friend Lawler will have a
chance at them also. Baliinger will
look the other way. in order to be im
partial, and the game will achieve Its
successful close. Such is the plot, in
spite of public outcry. Insiders are bet
