ITS DONE BY TAFTS ORDER dfoler ef 9l*m l«al Cohtee After Jfcit- \ Day Session of Cabinet' PrtfliBt Sajrs Deposed. Officer Had 9e< stroysd Hie Usefulness. Washington.--Secretary Wilson- of the agricultural department Friday discharged from the service Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States. The dismissal was at the order of President Taft, after an all-flay ses­ sion of the cabinet on the subject of Mr. Pinchot's letter read in the J?®?* ate by Senator Dolltver. ) ' 5 V Technically the dismisaal is for "Vio­ lation of executive order 1142, Issued November 26, 1909, by President Taft forbidding subordinates in depart­ ments to communicate directly with congress. But the president realises tbAt the affair has assumed much greater im­ portance than discipline of a govern­ ment employe. Pinchot's letter was the defiance of the Roosevelt or "Back from Elba" adherents, and Mr. Taft was loath to .start a fight that is destined, he believes, perhaps to make the next house Democratic and to en­ danger the present administration at Take Silver Nugget* from Mlnee iM "|i|Me|wje of lit'TO £ Smelter... ! TOTonto, Ont--Twelve men charged with belng members of f conapiracy to steal ore from the Cobalt silver mines received their polide court and were sent to a higher court. It is believed these meg stole at, least $3,000,000 worth of ore beforeg they were arrested. '• The prisoners took from time to; time as opportunity offered rich nug­ gets from the ConiagaB and other mines and brought their booty to To-* ronto, where they sold It to Dr. J. E. Wilkinson, who has a small smelter and manufactures leaf silver for dent-i ists. Some of it was melted into bul­ lion at a private house in the city. Dr. Wilkinson's defense is that he was not buying ore' which is Illegal, but silver, a perfectly legal transac­ tion. I-*MI * »SMI«rd Pinchofc' the next election.

But other and higher considerations must govern me. When the people of the United States elected me pres­ ident they placed me in an office of the highest dignity an^i charged me' with the duty of maintaining that due and proper respect for the office on the part tif my subordinates. More­ over, if I Were to pass over this mat­ ter in silence, It would be most de­ moralizing to the discipline of the executive branch of the government. "By your own conduct you have de­ stroyed your usefulness as a helpful Subordinate of the government and it therefore now becomes my duty to direct the secretary of agriculture to remove you from your office as the forester. Very sincerely yours, "WILLIAM H. TAFT. "Hon. Gifford Pinchot, Forester." The dismissal of Mr. Pinchot, '.in­ stead of ending the trouble, only starts the war In the open, instead of tinder cover. .

When President Taft's Nsw Order Q oee into Effect In the Political Zoo. BY KN01 MU8T NOT DISTURB CH1NE8E SOVEREIGNTY IN MANCHURIA. England, France and Germany in Ak - llsnce with United 8tate« w In Far East. Washington. -- A firebrand was tossed into the politics of the far east by the president The statement Is borne out by the terms of a statement given out by Secretary of State Knox Thursday which means that Japan must aban­ don her machinations against Ameri­ can interests and Chinese sovereignty to Manchuria. > , A strict interpretation of the State­ ment makes it clear that Japan has been notified that she cannot hold sovereignty over railway properties in Manchuria. The statement further flouts Japan openly by calling public attention to a new and startling policy of this gov­ ernment, namely, that it is the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany which are the guardians of the territorial rights of China. It points out in a way Incapable of mis­ understanding that it Is the money of the four great monled powers named which is to control the des­ tinies of China. The logical conclusion of the neces­ sary corollary of the Taft-Knox Statement is that the powers named by the president are to control the destinies of the east and of the world. Stated in the language of diplomats Japan has been asked to agree to.the "neutralization of the railways of Manchuria." Russia necessarily has been asked .to agree to the same proposition. It is to Russia's interest to agree, because the agreement will guarantee to her absolute safety for, her own railway projects which are menaced by Japan's aggressiveness. The state department is optimistic as to the outcome of its grave move on the international chessboard. It 1b true that Secretary Knox says that Japan may agree, but he also very shrewdly says that all he knows at present about Japan's sympathy with this movement is contained to some unofficial sporadic Japanese press reading matter.

REVIEW DANES' COOK REPORT Olographic Society, at Washington ^ ceive Finding of University of Copenhagen Commission, r Washington.--The long-delayed re­ port of the University of Copenhagen to the National Geographic society has arrived in Washington. It was written in Danish, and though brief, was to the point. After being translated the report was reviewed Sunday by Dr. J. How­ ard Gore, Rear Admiral H. N. Pills- bury and Prof. C. Willard Hayes, chief geologist of the United States Geological society, constituting the special committee of the Geographic society appointed to review the Cook d a t a . , s „ . None of the Cook, data accompanied the report. . The documents which were handed to the commission for examination were: 1. A typewritten report of Dr. Cook's north pole journey, made br Mr. Lonsdale. * 2. A typewritten copy made from Dr. Cook's notebooks, covering the period from March 18, 1908, until June 13, 1908, the time to which, ac-. cording to Dr. Cook's statement, he journeyed to the pole and back to an undefined point on the polar ice west of Axel Heiberg's land. The papers named were not accom­ panied by any letter from Dr. Cook, but Mr. Lonsdale stated orally that the original notebooks* which- for safety's sake had been sent to Eu­ rope by another route, would be turned over to the university in the course of a few days. The commission gives as the result of its examination of the material submitted the following as Its con­ viction. The report of the expedition re­ ferred to under (1) is essentially the same that was published during Sep­ tember and October of this year to the New York Herald. The copy of the notebooks referred to under (2) contains no original as­ tronomical observation whatever, but only results. The data in the documents submit­ ted to us are of such an unsatisfac­ tory character that it is not possible to declare with certainty that the as­ tronomical observations referred to were actually made; there is likewise lacking details In practical matters-- such as Bledge journeys which could furnish some control. The commis­ sion is therefore of the opinion that the material transmitted for examina­ tion contains no proof whatsoever that Dr. Cook reached the pole.

She explained that the man who claimed to have found the north pole was in such a condition that he had forgotten the use of language. It was impossible, too, for him to think on one subject more than an in­ stant, she declared. He had reached such a condition that when sitting at a table he asked for a pinch of salt when what he really wanted was butter. Narrowly Escape Freezing at Flra.

If the railroad men and the switch­ men can be persuaded to come here. Otherwise the parley may oarried on in Chicago. Washington.--Tyfo important devel­ opments In the^ifght between the in­ surgents and the regular Republicans came Monday;. The senate committee on public lands reconvened and amended its resolution providing for the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation so as to leave to the house the method of selecting its membership of th^ committee. The senate promptly adopted the resolution. This sustains the defeat of Cannon in the house. It was sdid in the house that Representative Dwight of New York, the Republican whip, had taken the names of the insurgent Con­ gressman from the list of represen­ tatives to whom he regularly sends notices demanding their attendance at times of division. Although the arxhy appropriation bill still engaged the attention of the house when that body convened, the members manifested far greater in­ terest in the Pinchot-Balllnger situa­ tion and in a statement Issued by the Hepublican congressional committee openly warning insurgent congress­ men that they need expect no help from ttye administration when they come up for re-election. Half a dozen leading members of the revolting faction were - g$en at their offices in the house building be­ fore the session of the houSe and were emphatic in condemning what the congressional committee had said and done. All were in favor of,a meeting of the insurgents without further de­ lay and of a reply to the committee's letter. An unequivocal answer was necessary, they declared. All the Insurgents wished it under­ stood that in the Ballinger-Pinehot Issue they desired to-see appointed by the house an impartial committee, which would undertake no "white­ wash." They did not care to see any of their number on the committee, but insisted that it be a body of "faif intentions." Speaker Cannon has flatly declined to retire from politics at the end of his present term. Not only will he be a candidate for re-election to the' Sixty-second congress, but, if re­ elected, he will Insist upon being his party's candidate for speaker. In vigorous words he handed this message out to his friends. The dec­ laration puts an end to the stories that the speaker was winding up his political career with this session at congress. President Taft gave his approval to the proposed investigation by' a select committee of the senate concerning the Increased cost of living. He did not commit himself to any special plan for inquiry, but declared that something should be done to ascertain why the prices of food products have steadily increased and determine whether action can be taken by cjftt* gress to remedy existing conditions. • ELOPING HEIRESS ARRESTED Roberta De Janon and Frederic Cohen Are Found in Rooming House * at Chicago. Chicago.--Rober ta De Jaaonj the 17- vear-old heiress of Philadelphia, and Frederic Cohen, a waiter, who disap­ peared from Philadelphia 12 t days ago, were arrested Monday in ft room­ ing house on the North side in this city. .. , .. After leaving Philadelphia the •couple went to Montreal, thence to St. Johns, N. B., where they purchased tickets for England, but just before the steamer was about to sail they changed their minds and took a boat to Boston. At the latter city they boarded a train and came direct to Chicago. MIES De Janon and Cohen reached here last Thursday night and have since been living In a third-story back room, equipped for light house­ keeping. At the police station Miss De Janon said that she -had enticed Cohen away, and had not permitted him to either sehd her back home or to notify her relatives of her whereabouts. To all of this Cohen cheerfully as­ sented and further declared (bat he had trfed to dissuade her from- the idea of running away together. The girl gave as a reason for leav­ ing her palatial home in Philadelphia that her grandfather was about to send her away to school at Bryn Mawr and should not wish to go. She said she liked Cohen and that he had treated her like a daughter and that he has not maltreated her in Any way since they left the Quaker city. •r- >r Engineer Leaps to Death. •e Haute, Ind.--John Scofleld, a veteran Vandalla engineer, jumped and was killed Monday when the driv­ ing rod of the locomotive he was run­ ning broke and whirled through the cab.
