THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JANUARY 9, 1910. GANNON TARGET OF INSURGENTS 4 ry ice House Votes to Appoint Com . mittee on Ballinger and Pinchot Itself. FORESTER HAS CHAMPIONS Democrats Propose to Limit Inquiry to Ballinger but Are Badly Beaten. AVinss of Speaker Clipped by.. Alliance Between Enemies. . WASHINGTON'. Jan. S. The House fit Representatives yesterday, after a larllamenta.ry battle in which a com bination of "Insurgent" Republicans and Democrats defeated the Republican or sanization, adopted a joint resolution providing for 91 Investigation of the interior nepartment and of the For estry Bureau. Tho resolution provides for an Investigation to be conducted hy a Joint committee of the House and The Senate. The defeat of the Gannon organiza tion came in the adoption by a vote of 149 to 148 of an amendment pro viding that House members of the Joint committee be appointed by the House itself and not by Speaker Can ijion. As soon as the President's special (message had been read in the House 'yesterday Chairman Dnlzell. of the rules ''ommittee, brought in a privileged 1 resolution providing for the immediate consideration of the joint investigation i resolution offered several days ago by 'Humphrey, of Washington. ralr.ell explained that after its adop tion by the Senate and its signature by the President, the joint resolution will become a law, giving the investi gating committee power to summon witnesses and compel them to testify. An agreement to limit The debate 10 three- hours with the privilege of offering amendments being reached, Fitzgerald, of New York, opened the struggle. Fitzgerald declared he was heartily in favor of this investigation. Ha ex pressed the opinion that it should be narrowed so as to eliminate from the inquiry Oifford Pinchot. "whose only offense," he asserted, "has been that he has been too active against land thieves and land-grabbers, and so as 10 deal only with the grave charges made against the official integrity and personal honor of a member of the President's Cabinet" (Mr. Balllr.ger?. FitzgcrRld said lie thought it beneath the dignity of Congress to ask the President to investigate a member of his Cabinet and therefore he was op posed to a Joint resolution, which would require the executive's signature. Referring to Mr. Balllnger's letter to Senator Jones, asking that the Forest Service be Included in the pro posed inquiry. Fitzgerald objected to .Mr. Balllnger's attempt to dictate the t-haracter of the inquiry. FHzgerald offered two amendments to the pending resolution aimed to eliminate the Forest Bureau from the proposed investigation. Norris. of Nebraska, said that the proposed investigation was such an Im portant matter that he believed the six members of the committee to repre sent the House should be selected by that body Instead of being appointed by the Speaker, and he offered an amendment to that effect. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, questioned the right of Mr. Ballinger to dictate the form of the investigation that Con gress should make. . Martin (Dem.), of Colorado, crit icised the Forest Service and the ad ministration of Forester Pinchot. He quoted Mr. Pinchot as saying that he had administered the Forest Service entirely within the limits of the law, but. "if this Is the case," said the tspeakor. "there are some lnws in the country that are in sad need of Amer icanization." Martin was overwhelmed by a series of pointed questions from both the Re publican and Democratic sides. Sims, of Tennessee, wanted to know why Mr. Taft retained In office "such a man as you describe Mr. Pinchot to be." "Can you name a single violation of law by Mr. Pinchot?" demanded Cooper. "You say you are wholly fa miliar with this Question from "first hand experience and not from informa tion gleaned through Pullman car win dows; then tell us about what I ask." Martin replied that his office was full of Information about such cases which looked like offenses. The Norris amendment, providing for the appointment of the six House members of the committee by the House, was then voted upon and was adopted by an aye and no vote of 1.9 to 146. five voting present. Fltzger elds amendment, eliminating the For ct Service front the inquiry, was tost y the overwhelming vote of 65 ayes 10 ?2R noes. The dissolution was then adopted by a viva voce vote without t dissenting voice.

NBW YORK, Jan. t. Isaac tlnkel steln. burrower of Ludlow street, was found trapped in his tunnel tonight like a rabbit in its warren. Sappers and miners had been digging 36 hours for him. He lay under the middle of the street, a crushed semblance of a man, his hands stretched out toward the un attainable millions in the vaults of the Kast Side branch of the Fourteenth Street Bank and the diamonds In the window of the jewelry shop next door. His wife and their five children saw the flrs-t stroke of the pick that, un covered his shoes. They had been watching the sappers in the trench all night and all day. "My papa was an honest man," said Sarah, the oldest child. "He does not dig- for anything. He went down Into the cellar and fell Into a hole." Sarah Is 11 years old. ) Isaac. Finkelstetn was a good-natured, easy-going- house painter. He knew nothing about driving tunnels. He had only the crudest tools, no timber to shore up the roofs and walls of his burrow, no burglar's kit to bore through the concrete and steel walls of the bank vaults; no adequate idea of elaborate precautions constantly on watch inside those walls against him, no revolver for the ever-possible crisis nothing. What ingenuity he had was taxed to the utmost to keep his secret from his wife. That is all there is to Finkel stein and his terrifying tunnel. Finkelstein was a patron of the East Side moving-picture theaters and many a successful robbery had he seen, on the white sheet. The things may have worked on the imagination of the easy going, impecunious painter, with five children to support. If they did, he must have thought of them every time he looked out of his garret window, for behind him. on the dead wall of the bank, flared the legend: "Oeposits, 1 10.000.000," and by craning his "neck a little he could see the diamonds of Zirinsky, the jeweler, in the window of the "brilliantly-lighted shop. But nobody knows what Finkelstein thought, unless it was Isldor Garbus, his brother-in-law, who -reported his disappearance to the police yesterday. Isidor lived In the same tenement, but, though he is detained as a witness, there Is no proof that he had guilty knowledge of the tunnel. MRS.

Mrs. Jlary Arkwright Hutton, leader of suffragists In Eastern Washington, will leave Saturday morning with her husband, millionaire mineowner in the Coeur d'Alene district. for sunny Panama and Southern California.

PEACE ENVOY DROWNS GENERAL DIAZ, IN CANOE, IS CAUGHT BY WAVE. Dead Leader Was .'Man in Whom His Followers Had Bound less Faith. BL.LTSF1ELD3. Jan. 8. General Pedro Andreas Fomas-Diaz, who started out yesterday for Managua, to treat for peace with President Madriz, met with a tragic end last night on Greytown bar. The canoe in which he was attempting to -make a landing was caught by a gi gantic wave and broke amidships, and Diaz disappeared in the sea1. , ( The voyage that ended the life of Gen eral Diaz was in keeping with hi career. He was a personal friend of President Madriz and was of the belief that he could persuade him to give way to Gen eral Estrada as head of the army. At first he was granted permission to proceed to Managua and confer to this end with Madriz, the Provisional Gov ernment, however, reserving the right to reject any agreement entered into by Madriz and Diaz. Before Diaz left Blue fields the Provisionals began to suspect the sincerity of his ultimate purpose and he was stripped of official power, though permission was given him to go to Managua in an unofficial capacity. He set out in the darkness- yesterday morn ing. Last night there came a high wind and the booming of the surf at Bluefields could be heard lo miles inland. In this surf Diaz and his canoe came upon the Greytown bar, the worst, along the bad coast. Picking up the frail craft, a mountainous wave bore it for a moment on its crest and then rent it asunder. With it Diaz disappeared. ,The death of General Diaz removes from Nicaragua a spirit whose intrepid ity was boundless. His career was re plete with stirring incidents and his pride that of an old Spanish grandee multi plied. While his departure from Blue fields for Managua severed his relations with the revolution, his loss in the ranks of the Provisionals is deeply felt. DISMISSALS FOR SALE ?
