(Special -To what extent can a subordinate of one department of the Federal Government direct the head or anomer ociu"..h and to what decree will the President permit such Interference to extend with out dlsclDllninir the subordinate or mak- i.. rhatin in his Cabinet? An Interesting; controversy is pending k.i.n Rwratarr of the Interior Ballln- and Glfford Plnchot, cnier 01 mo fUrvlca of the IJeparimeni 01 trade A. Hlnkley, here on Wednesday, spent the night in the police station. Mrs. Hinkley's statement that the bul let which entered her neck and came out through her mouth was fired by her daughter, is vigorously denied by Mr. Mayfleld. "My mother's whole -Story is ridicu lous." said the prisoner today. "I came to Chicago from Mexico to give her stock In the mining company, not to sell it to her. My mother either accidentally ahot herself while planning to shoot me, or tried to commit ulclde." Mrs. Mayfleld Intimated that It might be well to Inquire into her mother's men tal condition, and continued: "I have six letters from my aunt my mother's sister), Mrs. J. L. Hutchinson, of Streat or, 111., which will help me. In each of these letters my aunt warned me to keep away from my mother. Mrs. Mayfleld quoted from one of the letters as follows: "Dear Agnes If I were in your place I would avoid your mother because I feel that she will do you mischief if your husband does not come to her terms." In a second letter, Mrs. Hutchinson Is ' quoted as saying: "You know how your mother Is she will either rule or ruin. I fear for you If you refuse to turn over the 290 acres of mining land in Mexico.' Mrs. Mayfleld stated that her mother's hatred of her began In Chicago when she married Dr. Mayfleld.

Congress Blocks Pinonot. Months ago a resolution was passed by Congress providing that no new forestry reservations should be created, and no existing reservations should be enlarged i nnm Washington. Idaho. Wyoming, Colorado and Montana, except by act of Congress. Up to that time the reserva tions had been created and enlarged Dy Presidential proclamation. Mr. Plnchot then found in Mr. Garfield, the Secretary of the Interior, a friend. Mr. Plnchot persuaded Mr. Garfield to withdraw as dminlstratlve sites In different localities from 60 to MO or 300 acres near lorestry iwrraliDlu. 1-non the change of Administration. -h.n lr Rnlllnzer succeeded Mr. Gar field a new oractlce was promptly Inau a-urated. Mr. Ballinger decided that to withdraw the so-called administrative itn wsa a. violation of the law, and the result te that the controversy has been referred to the Attorney-General for so lution. Secretary Ballinger has other griev ances against Mr. Plnchot. Not only is v. , .v.. i n that Mr Pinrhot has been guilty of nullifying the will of COLLECTS Congress, but ne reeis a pn-ujji in terest In a controversy which Mr. Plnchot has raised and has carried to the President. Republicans Believe If Colonel Wants to Rnn Against Tammany He May Get Chance. PARIS. July 2S- John S. Wise. Jr.. of New York, who Is now In Paris, says that ex-President Roosevelt, Just prior to his departure from New York on his African hunting expedition, promised him and other Republicans in New York that he would return in time for the Mayor alty campaign. Mr. Wise says he has not gl"en up the hope that Mr. Roosevelt will head the Mayoralty ticket In New York this Autumn. NEW YORK. July IS. The views of John S. Wise, Jr., as cabled from Paris today on the possibility of ex-President Roosevelt entering the New York May oralty campaign this Fall, are In line with report circulated here last Spring, and again within the past few weeks. Colonel Roosevelt s friends in the local Republican ranks have long had him In mind as a candidate, provided he can be Induced to lead the fight against Tam many. They believe he Is the most for midable nominee that could be put In the field. It was said In influential circles today that if Colonel Roosevelt wanted to run for Mayor It would be difficult to keep the nomination away from him. 2000 ANIMALS Roosevelt's Specimens Include AH Varieties of African Wild Life. Plnchot Carries Tales. Last February Mr. Garfield, acting UDon the recommendation of Mr. Plnchot. withdrew . from settlement manv acres of land located along The withdrawal was based upon a policy to hold In control of the government ail water sites located upon public lands. The withdrawal of these lands raised a loud protest throughout the West, and Mr. Ballinger, promptly upon taking the office of Secretary of the Interior, rescinded the order of his predecessor and restored to entry the lands that had been wimarawn. oud tenuentlv Mr. Ballinger ordered that restricted areas surrounding water- power sites should be withdrawn from settlement. Mr. Plnchot went to President Taft and told him how water power trusts would gobble up valuable sites in the public domain. The president was lm nressed with the showing made by Mr. Plnchot. He sent for his Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Ballinger was asked to exmaln what safeguards he had thrown out to protect for the public the valuable water power sites. Mr. Ttallnzer exDerlenced no difficulty in convincing- the President that his ac tion had been conservative, and that he was right. Throughout the controversy Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson has re mained a mere spectator. Mr. Plnchot Is supposed to have great Influence, but whether It will be sufficient to keep him in his present pos...lon in the face of the opposition of Secretary Bal linger, remains to be developed.
