THE SUNDAY OREGON IAN. POKTLAXD, JANUARY 9. 10lO. TUFT AIDS PROBE IN SELF DEFENSE Slow to Feel Attacks on Ballinger. EAR, NOT CLOSE TO PUBLIC President Finally Realizes He Himself Is Criticised. FRIENDS SHOW HIM LIGHT Newspaper and Magazine Articles Dealing With IiHlllngcr-Plnchot Row Gave Him Small Concern I'ntil Became Concerted. BY IIARRT J. BROWN. OKEGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 6. Had not President Taft become convinced that many of the re I'nt magazine and newspaper attacks upon Secretary Ballinger -were in reality ittacks upon himself, the force and In fluence of the Administration would not have been brought Into line to secure the adoption of a resolution providing for a Congressional investigation of the entire rinchot-Ballineer affair. Once convinced that he himself was under fire, the President took the lead in demanding a Congressional investiga tion, and gavo his unqualified Indose ment to the Jones-Humphrey resolution hjpforo It was Introduced. Going farther, - he has been consulted about the selec tion of members of the investigating; committee. and has been especially anxious that unbiased, thorough-going mid most competent men should be i-hoson. He has been desirous that the personnel of the committee should bo such us to give the muck-rakers no wound on which to declare that the In vestigation was "framed up" In the in terest of anyone. Taft Changes Front. It is a strange thing, but nevertheless true, that President Taft for a very long . llrar was opposed to any kind of a Con-' gresslonal Investigation of the Plnchot Hallinger controversy, or of either branch or the service involved in that con troversy. He himself had made an In vestigation of the charges against Sec retary Ballinger and had found them jrroundless. Attorney - General Wleker sham had made a similar investigation, but of even broader scope, and confirmed the President's conclusions. The Cabinet was satisfied with the correctness of the President's opinion and that of the - Attorney-General, and that fact also has been made known. Therefore tha President could" see no necessity for a further investigation, particularly of the charges against his Secretary of the Interior. He felt that the country at large would abide by his Judgment, inasmuch as he had reviewed both sides of the case, whereas the magazine and newspaper writers who had assailed . the Secretary of the Interior and the Administration had dealt with one side only and pre sented a partisan view. Only two days before the President signified his will ingness to support a sweeping Congres sional Investigation he told a number of callers that an Investigation would no unnecessary that the whole agitation would soon die down. Then suddenly he c hanged about and became as insistent anyone upon having a thorough Con gressional probe of all sides of this Administration-splitting controversy. . linger Far From Public Pulse. President Taft unquestionably was fooled about public sentiment. He has not been in close touch with the lead ing dally papers, nor has he followed the magazines. It is a notorious fact that he has up to this time paid very little attention to what is said in the public prints. In this respect he dif fers very materially from his prede cessor, who. kept fully posted as to everything of importance that appeared In type, and particularly everything that was critical to himself and his Ad ministration. Uoing out of touch. President Taft very naturally absorbed a wrong idea f the state of the public mind. He had come to the conclusion that the attacks were solely upon Secretary Kallinger, and emanated almost ex clusively front Democratic organs. But one day La Toilette's magazine appeared, bitterly arraigning both Sec retary Ballinger and the Administra tion. In this issue, aside from cen sorious editorial matter, was a caustic article by ex-Secretary Garfield, strong ly criticising the present Administra tion for Its nttitude towards the Roose velt policies. k Taft (.it Jtay if JLiglil. This particular issue of Lu t oilette's magazine, representing a member of I ho Menate. was put forth simultane ously with Colliers Unrest assault upon lialUncT, and Representative Hitchcock's attack made from the floor the House. Too appearance of all three attacks at one time, and the very evident fact that ail were aimed not t Ballmser. hut at the President, im-l.ri'.s.-.cd a number of the President's friends, as well as friends of the Sec retary of the Interior, and these men went to the White House to submit the documents and pent out their sig nificance. It was only then that the President realized his mistake In judgment and saw that the campaign was not one that would soon die out. He became convinced then and there that the country would not look upon the Pin-chot-Ballinger affair as a closed inci dent so long as muck-raking maga zines and newspapers, muck-raking Senators and Representatives, and muck-raking officials and ex-officlals were determined to keep alive the issue for. the avowed purpose of forc ing the Administration to take dicta tion from some of the men who had been all-powerful in the davs of Roosevelt. It was extremely embarrassing to the President to have to admit the country was not in a frame of mind to accept his word as final; equally em barrassing to know that muck-rakers I were able to keep alive a controversy I of this sort by the deliberate manu- facture of untruths, put forward to i controvert his own statements. But I in the midst of his embarrassment he I awoke for the first time to a reallza- ) tion of the fact that he must put forth all the facts, and let the country judge for itself. It dawned' upon him, in that hour, that from the very out- ; break of the controversy -within the j official familv. Mil thA ruib-icitv had come from one side, and the other ' side had. under his express direction, i been permitted to do nothing more 1 than enter denials. He seemed to realize that denials, no matter from what source, or how emphatic, ' fa.l to satisfy the inquisitive public. They demand tiie facts, the records, and the evidence. - ' Having reached this conclusion, the President very quickly decided to sup port the movement for a Congressional investigation of both the Interior De partment and the Forest Service. That would enable both sides to produce their records, present their charges against each other, jjjjd make reply to charges frnim, whatever source. Such an investigation, held in the open, would gratify the wish of the com munity, and give to Pinchot, as well as to Ballinger, every opportunity to establish the correctness of his own position and the error of his opponent (for each maintains that the other is wrong.) Delays Will Br: Removed. It was President Taft who Induced Senator Flint to introduce the resolu tion calling for the Glavis charges, the Attorney-General's report thereon, and other related papers. This he did to give tiie committee a foundation on ' which to build, and the fact that the i President made this move is proof of his desire that tho investigation get under way -with the least possible loss of time. There Is every Indication that such a programme will be followed. NEW INDUSTRY TO START MOIIAIK MILLS AT SELLWOOD AKOTJT COMPLETED. Plant representing Investment of S50.O0O Will Brlnir ovcI Business to Portland.

ATHLETICS IS CONDEMNED Muldoon Says They Do MoreHarm Than Good In Colleges. New Tork Times. William Muldoon, the athlete and train er, who runs a rest home for overworked men !at White Plains, when asked what he thought of the experiments at Tale to determine the effect of college athletics on the heart, was not so much Interested in the experiments as he was in the ath letics. "Athletics do no harm at all if conduct ed Judiciously," he said. "But as they are conducted in the colleges now, they cer tainly do the greatest damage. There Is no question about it. They do great harm, and they do injure the hearts of young men. "If they were conducted cautiously it would be all right. The athletic heart is no great evil. I failed to get life insur ance 19 years ago because they said I had it, and I am still alive and pretty capable. 1 am as well as any living man of my age. and my heart has stood as many exciting events. "But the wonder to me has always been that so many college men stand athletics at all as they run them nowadays not that some of them go to pieces. "You say this Yale Investigation was brought on by the fact that four men were overcome because of the strain on their hearts in two boat, races with Har vard. The remarkable thing Is that the rest of them stood it, and the only reason they can fa that they are young and strong and the very pick of hundreds. They are forced into a tremendous over exertion. It is bound to leave Its mark." "The trouble Is that they are brought to this great exertion too suddenly by far. They should come to It by a long and gradual process, and that Is what judi cious training largely is. That a great many more do not break down completely is extraordinary. "I have always insisted that athletics were wrongly conducted In th.j colleges. It isn't only to the heart they do harm, but to the mind. That is enfeebled by withdrawing the vitality from it to the other parts of the body." KAISER'S NEW BATHTUB Designed for Tenements Can Alio Re Used as Dining-Tabte. Lady's Pictorial. The German Emperor Is. os is well known, a great admirer of Englis do mestic Institutions. When over here he was charmed with the practical way in which the British workman living in modem tenemt-nt houses, has the use of a bathroom. Ho ordered, therefore, to have plans submitted to 'him which took particular note of baths In workmen's dwellings, with-a view 10 fit into small Hats for small families. The bath which was ul timately adopt ftd is meant to servo a threefold purptse. This bath Is actually already in use on the Emperor's different estates, and can. with a clever contrivance of some wooden parts, be changed into a washing tub. and this again can be changed into a dinner table. Thus workmen are relieved from finding houseroom for a big bath In their dwellings, and when not In use for a bath or the washing it is one of the most indispensable pieces of furniture as the dinner table of the family. At it r?le Likes Football. New York Press. Mothers in New York may be thank ful enough that the football season is over, but Mrs. A. 1. NYlnship, of Racine, Wis., Is an utter stranger to the feel ings that dominate them. She is 79 years young and a freshman in Co lumbus University, where she has en tered for two courses of psychology ana one or tngusn literature, but even more remarkable than her thirst for knowledge Is the enthusiasm for foot- 1 ball she manifested on every opportun ity throughout the season. With her spectacles firmly planted on her nose, l:er gray hair neatly drawn back from her benignant brow, she was a prom inent figure among tha "rooters" at every game played on the home grounds. Her presence, at first ridi culed by the other students of her class, was so much taken for granted before the end of the season that it would have been missed seriously had she stayed away from any game. It is pleasant to know her zeal for athletics did not interfere with her studies and that she stands an excellent chance of getting her diploma before she is much more than SO.

WEATHER CONDITIONS. The tarometer has fallen decidedly ove Western Washington. Western Oregon and Northwestern California, and another low pressure is approaching the North Pacific Coast. This disturbance is too far at sea to determine its magnitude, but it evidently Is of sufficient importance to cauee rain Sunday in- Western Oregon and Western Washington and snow in Northern Wash ington ; some snow will probably also fall in the high valleys to the west of the Cas cade Mountains, since yesterday no rain of consequence has occurred in the North Pa cific States, but snow has fallen generally throughout Eastern Oregon, Eastern Wash ington and Idaho. The temperatures have fallen In the Willamette galley and risen in British Columbia; elsewhere they have remained nearly stationary. It will be warmer Sunday. FORECASTS.
