"AM I RUBBING YOU THE RIGHT WAV, SENATOR?
WASHINGTON D. C.. April 2. — "If
they think they can attack me with im-
punity they arn mistaken," said Richard
A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior
Department, referring to the publications
concerning him which are appearing in
Collier's Weekly.
He announced emphatically that he pro-
posed "to bring them to Justice in due
time."
While Mr. Ballinger would not indi-
cate when or in what form proceedings in
law would be instituted against the peri-
odical, he said if he lived long enough it
would suffer "all the penalties the law
will warrant."
The statement that he intends to seek
redress through the medium of the courts
was made in discussing the article In the
current issue of Collier's headed "Bal-
linger—Shyster," In which the Secretary
of the Interior in accused of an "unpar-
donable breach of professional honor" in
connection with a bankruptcy proceed-
ing in the United States District Court
In Seattle.
BRING THEM TO JUSTICE.
"For thq malicious, villainous and un-
truthful attacks of which this is simply
another chapter," he saiu, "I propose to
bring them to Justice.
"Every suggestion they make," he add-
ed, "has been thoroughly covered by tes-
timony and orders of the United States
District Court for the District of Wash-
ington. Northern Division, exonerating
me from the slightest suspicion of any
Irregularity or impropriety. They have
deliberately sent their agents and emis-
saries throughout the country to traduce
me by a campaign of villtflcatlon that is
not warranted by any facts whatsoever.
If they think they can attack me with
Impunity they are mistaken."
The article in today's issue of Collier's
presents charges against Mr. Ballinger
In connection with his relation as at-
torney several years ago for Heckmann
& Hanson, shipbuilders at Seattle, Wash.
It charges him with "an unpardonable
breach of professional honor."
After the shipbuilding firm's affairs had
been wound up. It is alleged that an ef-
fort was made by Heckmann fo have his
estate reopened, believing that his firm
bad not been fairly dealt with.
CHARGE "WHITEWASH."
It Is charged that the referee of the
Federal Court appointed to inquire into
the matter by Judge C. H. Hanford, who
Is described as a close friend of Mr. Bal-
linger, "whitewashed" the Secretary of
the Interior and the other attorneys con-
cerned.
Later, it was said, Jerold D. Finch,
Ettorney for Heckmann & Hanson, in the
later proceedings, filed a petition. in
Judge Hanford's court, asking for tne
■Jlsbarment of Mr. Ballinger and the other
attorneys. It was referred to the bar
association, which, It was charged,
"whitewashed" Mr. Ballinger, but refused
to take any action against Finch. Tn
refutation of these charges, Mr. Ballinger
exhibited certified copies of the proceed-
ings In the Federal Court in Seattle, in
which he was exonerated by Judge Han-
jord, the Master in Chancery, and a
committee of the Federal Bar Association
»f the charges preferred by Finch.
NO EVIDENCE. SAYS JUDGE
In denying the petition to reopen the
;ase, Judge Hanford said the accusation
1 gainst Mr. Ballinger was "not supported
t>y a scintilla of evidence."
The committee of the bar association
A'hlch exonerated Mr. Ballinger stated
hat the charges were without foundation
and were made without sutucient inves-
tigation of the facts.
The committee said that Mr. Finch had
lot been actuated by malice In making
the allegations, and for that reason he
Ihould not be disbarred, but stated that
ae "Justly deserves the censure of the
bar of the Federal Court."
BRING COLLIER'S INTO CASE
Witness Tells of Offer of Large Sum

tary of the Interior Ballinger has protest-
ed to the Congressional committee In-

dence I shall present shall be Introduced."

lint John W. Dudley, former register of
I he Land Office at Juneau, Alaska, had
(old him lft Juneau last February tlint an
ugent of Collier's Weekly hud Intimated
to him that "It would be worth from
$5000 to 110,000 to him to come to Wash-
ington to testify."
The committee appeared so anxious to
ascertain whether any improper attempt
to Influence testimony In the Inquiry
bad been made that It was decided to sub-
poena Mr. Dudley to tell what he knowa
about the matter.

SPEAKER IN EULOGY SPECULATES
UPON THE HEREAFTER.
Delivers an Address Upon the Life of
Late Congressman Cushman and at
Same Time Points to Perils Which
Beset the Lawmakers.
WASHINGTON. D. C., April -—In the
solemnity of a service in memory of a
departed colleague. Speaker Cannon in
the House today talked of the trials met
by public men ir. dealing with popular
opinion nnd speculated upon the mysteries
of the hereafter.
'Ihere were enly a few members pres- i
er.t, chiefly those wlio/were to rpeak of
the life and character of Francis W.
Cushman. late a Representative from
Washington, in the galleries, too, there
*«s only a sprinkling of visitors, a ma-
jority of who had dropped in merely lo
see the House in session and with no spe-
cial interest In the proceedings.
The Speaker had given no intimation
that he would deliver an eulogy. He had
r.ot prepared any speech. Rising from
his seat on ibo Republican side, Mr. Can-
non paid a tribute of respect to the late
Mr. Cushman, pronouncing him to be one
of "good manhood ard good courage."
"One of the most trying positions in the
country," said Mr. Cannon, "Is to serve
ns a member of this House the popular
body."
PEOPLE'S WILL IS I NS TAR LI'.
Mr. Cannon then referred to opinions of
constituents which Representatives have
t«< take Into account and to the "2 per
cent of the constituency that may change
and semi somebody else to Congress."
"Not only," he said, "have we n patri-
otic desire to serve the best Interests of
the country, but to be personally en-
k rsed. and at times there Is great temp-
tation to try to please the 2 per cent or
r» per cent, taking it for grunted that the
balance of ihe constituency will be for ns
anyway. 1 doubt If there Is a man in the :
House wh > does not take Into account tlie
storms th it come."
Then Turning to the question of the |
great unknown future. Mr. Cannon said:
"We cannot tell as to the future any more
than we <an ted of the past." this'refer-
ence being to his rennrks concerning
men's success <r failure in their careers.
"We cannot conceive of an lndestructlolo
entity having had a beginning. It is a
irieat mystery. You may speculate nb »nt
it, hut you can never settle «t. I think
more and more it Is a consensus of opin-
ion that each entirv makes its own place
here and hereafter.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT HAS
PRODUCED THAT EFFECT.
William Cassin Tells Why He Favors
a Change in Municipal Affairs.
Seven Good Reasons Given Why
the Commission Is Best.
inp!
William Cassin is for commission gov-
ernment for Ran Antonio and says that
those behind the movement can enlist
his services in helping them secure it.
Mr. Cassin has long been a student of
municipal problems. Tt is due to his
efforts at the head of the good roads
movement that Bexar County has the
good roads that now exist. Under his
direction more was obtained for the
money than for any like sum ever ex-
pended. He has been more or less iden-
tified with every movement for the bet-
terment of San Antonio.
The fact that the commission govern-
ments, wherever tried, are administered
more economically, the taxpayers getting
more for their money, is one of the best
features, thinks Mr. Cassin.
"Economy," said Mr. Cassin, "is what
first attracted my attention to commis-
sion government. The cities now trying
It are getting more for their money.
Business mon of high standing have been
elected to office. They have adminis-
tered the city's business as they have
their own. I can't see how a man who
cannot successfully manage his own af-
fairs can manage a city's. The day of
specialization Is at hand, and by put-
ting the different departments in the
hands of men responsible for their con-
duct and able to manage them, better
results can be obtained.
"A recent article I have read discusses
commission government in a very thor-
ough i,.anner. Seven excellent reasons
are given why the commission form of
government is the best. They are:
"It abolishes party politics from local
affairs.
"It eliminates the boss, the grafter and
the political machine.
"It views the municipality as a great
business enterprise and provides accord-
ingly for Its effective management
"It recognizes definitely the failure of
representative government and substi-
tutes therefor a system of democracy; it
recognizes me fact that there is no wis-
dom but collective wisdom.
"It establishes direct responsibility for
every public act.
"It seems to be swift, efficient, eco-
nomical and adapted to a rational com-
munity in the Twentieth Century.
"It abolishes a raft of useless offices,
sinecures, jobs and political rewards,
and substitutes organization, method and
work."
INSURGENTS MAY BE HALTED
Federal Grand Jury at New Orleans
Will Pribably Act.
NEW ORLEANS, April 2.—In a com-
munication received from the State de-
partment at Washington today, the local
United States District Attorney's office
Is upheld in its contention that the re-
cruiting of men in the United States to
be used in hostilities against a foreign
country with which the United States is
at peace, is a violation of the law, no
matter if ther happens to be no diplo-
matic relationship with the country in
question.
As a result it ia reported that the Fed-
eral grand jury next Monday will take
cognizance of the rumors that an expe-
dition is being promoted here to go to
the aid of the Nicaraguan revolutionists
A rush order to repair and make sea-

NAPLES RECEIVES AMERICAN
WITH OPEN ARMS.
Thousands Line Water Front and Cheer
as §hip Comes Into Harbor, and
Hundreds Enthusiastically Greet
Him at Theater in Evening.
NAPLES, April ii.- IOx-President Ro >se-
velt was given a tremendous ovation at
the Theater Sun Carlos, when he attended
a performance tonight. The Americans In
the boxes started the cheering which was
taken up by a great body of students seat-
ed in the third gallery. Colotoel Roosevelt
arose and bowed his acknowledgment
which only served to increase the tumul-
tuous applause.
During an intermission students to^the
number of J00 marched to the rear of Colo-
nel Roosevelt's box where they were pre-
sented to the former President by Prof.
Bogglano of the University of Naples, who
in a graceful speech, recalled the colonel's
parting injunction to President Taft that
the greatest "problem Tof the United States
was the maintenance of the moral well
being and strength of tbe people. Prof.
Bogglano said this was also the greatest
problem for all countries.
Colonel Roosevelt, replying, appealed to
the students to aspire to the highest ideals,
but warned them that their aspirations
must he coupled with practical methods.
"Life is a struggle." he said. "You
must not keep in the clouds. Your ideals
must be such as can he realized."
The blue bay of Naples, bathed in glori-
ous sunshine, never was more beautiful
than when the steamer Prlns Heinrlch,
with the Roosevelt family aboard, steamed
into the harbor at 8:20 o'clock this morn-
ing.
THOUSANDS LINE WATER FRONT.
The water front was lined with thou-
sands who wished to share in the welcome
to Mr. Roosevelt upon his return from
Africa.
When the Priuz Ilelnrich was sighted
this morning the docks of San Vincenzo
and the Imruacolatclla. the arsenal and the
promenade Chiaia, along the Via Carac-
cloll, were already crowded. On many
houses the Italian colors waved alongside
the Stars and Stripes. A large number of
boats flying the American and Italian flags
a.id carrying citizens of both countries,
went out to meet the steamer.
The morning was matchless and .Mr.
Roosevelt had a splendid view of the bay
as the vessel drew In between the promen-
tory of Poslllpo and the Sorrento penin-
sula.
As was the case when the former Presi-
dent stopped here on his way to Africa,
the police took extraordinary measures not
only to protect his person, but to avoid
any unpleasant incident during his stay In
the city.
SHOUT "LONG LIVE ROOSEVELT!"
As the steamer moved slowly in to the
harbor, the crowds oil shore shouted:
"Long live Roosevelt IM The excitement
grew when the statesman could be picked
out ou deck. From all sides came cheers
while hats and handkerchiefs and flags
were waved.
The formal reception was carried out as
planned, Mr. Roosevelt receiving first his
countrymen, then representatives of the
municipal government of Naples, after
which he acknowledged the popular wel-
come.
At his hotel Mr. Roosevelt found wait-
ing him a messenger from Mayor Nathan
of Rome bearing an Invitation from the
municipal authorities, who wished to give
a dinner and reception in his honor at the
historic capital. The former President
prompfly accepted the Invitation and fixed
the date for Wednesday evening next. Fol-
lowing this reception he will leave for
Spesia.
Otherwise there w..\ be no change in the
urogram arranged for bis visit In Roma.
