Senator Crane returned to the East to-day after his confer ence at Minneapolis with Bal linger. He would not deny the report that he had asked Ballin ger to resign from the cabinet, merely saying: "I have nothing to say." (By Associated Press.) BEVERLY, Mass., August 3. No statement isforthcomlng from official quarters hero regarding the meeting between Senator Crane and Ballinger In Minneapolis yesterday. When it was suggested to the White House officers that Crane may have felt called upon In order to bring about party harmony to request Secretary of the Interior Ballinger to resign, the only answer was that Senator Crane would have to be asked about that phase of tho matter.

It is said Crane's visit was instigated more by certain party leaders, Including the secretary to the President, than to the President himself. The President has received many letters suggesting that Ballin ger, because of attacks made on him, was proving an embarrassment ill making plans for the coming Con gressional campaign. President Taft, having stood by Ballinger through all his troubles and still believing in him, has re fused to heed these complaints. They have had their effect on others con nected with the administration and the party, however, and it is reported here that certain of these leaders have taken it upon themselves to handle the situation. But Ballinger remains to be reckoned with. He has repeatedly declared he would not re sign until directly asked to do so by tho President. This, it is declared here, the President will not do. Following Senator Crane's inter view with the President the report spread that it had to do mainly with Ballinger and that trip through the West to survey the general political conditions would be an adjunct to the principal mission. The ida that Crane wasto meet and deal with Bal linger was so strongly denied by Sec retary Norton that the report finally came to be erorneous and was so treated here until yesterday's meet ing in Minneapolis which seemed to throw a different thought on the sit uation. Story Circulated Regarding Southern Pacific Building Not Confirmed. Railroad rumors on the streets to day created a good deal of excitement. There was a story that it had been learned that the Southern Pacific was 'preparing to iqmedaltely start work 'on tho Drain line. Traced down, no 'one had any definite information ex cepting that one business man said he had been told there would some thing happen on the Drain line within three weeks. Representatives of tho company here discredited the rumor on the ground that no such official in formation had been given to the local offices. Another Humor. There was another rumor that the Boise Railroad had let a contract for work. It was stated on good author ity that there was nothing to the story.

Try The Times' Want Ads, DRAIN RUMOR AGAIN AFLOAT Of CHIPPEWA y THE INSTITUTE Interesting Gathering of Teach ers Is in Session at North Bend. The Coos county teachers' insti tute, which opened at North Bend, will continue for two weeks. The teachers in attendance are now en tered on the regular daily work. A morning and an afternoon session will be held every day. Prof. Bunch, I the county superintendent of schools, j is in charge and the Instructors are Prof. Ball and Miss Smith of Port land. The manner of instructing the teachers is different from anything that has yet been tried in the State. The instructors are carrying on what they call method work. They outline a method for taking up the teaching of a certain study and write out their outlines on the blackboard so that j they can be copied by the teachers ' and preserved in note books. Then . there is a general discussion of the ' subject and questions are answered. The idea is that the county teachers are in this way given a full written outline for taking up all the differ ent studies and have these notes to lefer to later and are given a definite plan along which to carry on 'their work. The teachers In attendance at the institute so far are pleased ' with the plan and Prof. Bunch' thinks that the Institute will be the ' most Instructive for (he teachers that has ever been held in the county. A high school department of the Institute has been organized. Prof. Grubbs of North Bend has been made the chairman. The purpose is to dis cuss matters pertaining to the high school work. On August 9th, and during the in stitute, there will be held at North Bend the district board convention. This body is made up of one school director from each school district. They will come together to discuss school matters and will also have an mmortiinitv to seo the nature of the Instruction received by the teachers at the Institute. There is a good attendance at the Institute. About eighty per cent oi the schools in this county are sum mer schools. The county superintend ent asked tho directors to close tho schools for two weeks so that the teachers could attend tho institute and to give the teachers pay for one week. The law provides that the teacher must have three days' pay to attend an institute, but in this case a whole week Is allowed. It is expected to have some out of town lecturers here during the institute, but that Is not definite yet. Perhaps Prof. Kerr of tho Agricultural College, and Prof. Campbell of the S.ate University, will be here. The following is the list of the teachers who have registered at tho institute: Abe Huenergardt, J. S. Grimes, uonrv Hnfiiercardt.
