OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 4. Now that It has been
decided to pass a small omnibus pub
lic building bill this session. Repre
sentative Ellis has asked for an appro
priation to start a new postoffice at
Portland.
Because of the modest proportions of
the bill which will be reported he real
izes It to be impossible i to get tho
$1. 500,000 as recomended by the treas
ury, but will try to secure sufficient
aid at least to purchase a new rite
and have the limit of cpst of the build
ing fixed so plans can be prepared.
It is the Idea of the department to
purchase an eitirely new site and erect
thereon a. two-story building exclu
sively for a postoffice, turning over
the present, building to the Federal
courts and other government offices
now quartered there.
The department believes $500,00 will
buy a suitable site and Bills will ask
for this amount. He will -also ask
for $8000 or J10.000 to buy a public
building site at The Dalles.

MR. PINCHOT GROWS ANGRY
(Concluded From Flrat Page.)
merits he submitted were all that probably
bore on the cass. He insisted, however,
that there Was "the unavoidable Inference
that Mr. Balllnger had communicated In
some other way with the President."
Mr. Vertrees also brought out that the
co-operative agreement with the Forest
Service, which Mr. Balllnger discon
tinued, was not the usual arrangement
whereby one department lends its em
ployes temporarily to another, but "pro
vided that employes of the Interior De
partment should be under the exclusive
control and Jurisdiction of the forester.
As soon as Mr. Pinchot took the stand
this morning Attorney Vertrees asked
him this question:
"Mr. Pinchot, please state one single
fact of your own knowledge that re
flects upon Mr. Ballinger's conduct
either as Commissioner of the Land
Office or as Secretary of the Interior
not hearsay, nor what somebody else
Raid or wrote of your own knowl
edge." The witness hesitated. Then he ad
dressed Senator Nelson, saying:
"Mr. Chairman: In order to answer
that question, because of the nice dis
criminations it Involves, I must ask
your permission to refer to a list I have
here of the things Mr. Balllnger has
none." v
The permission was granted, and
after a perusal of the list, Mr. Pinchot
said:
Complaint Reduced to One letter.
"The fact of my own knowledge Is
Mr. Ballinger's letter to the President,
of November 15, with which he enclosed
Ronald's letter. These letters contain
misstatements which I have already
shown, and am prepared further to
show."
Mr. Vertrees "You have testified
here largely by Inference and Innuendo.
Now state what you personally know
Mr. Balllnger said or did."
Mr. Pinchot "The letter of November
IB."
"What else?"
"I never discussed the Cunningham
cases with Mr. Balllnger. The only
knowledge I have at first hand is lim
ited to writings that are not disputed."
Questioned as to the reprimand he
gave Assistant Law Officer Shaw and
Assistant Forester Price, Mr. Pinchot
admitted that "at heart" he approved
Df the motives of the two In doing
what they did, but did not approve of
their methods of doing It.
, Mr. Pinchot said that up to the time
he sent Glavis to President Taft, the
relations between himself and Mr. Bal
llnger had been "fairly friendly; not
more than that." He was not more
friendly because he knew Mr. Ballin
ger's views as to conservation, were
different from his own.
"Then you were unfriendly?"
"No; I distrusted him."
"So. Mr. Pinchot." said Mr. Vertrees.
"after all that statement you made to
the committee when you took the
stand, all you can cite against Mr.
Balllnger of your own knowledge Is the
letter of November 15 to the Presi
dent?" "I said I expected to prove some of
the things I charged by other wit
nesses." Basis of Charge Hazy.
Referring to his testimony that Mr.
Balllnger, as Commissioner of the Land
Office, protested against the creation
of the Chugach Forest Reserve In
Alaska. In which some of the Cunning
ham claims are located, Mr. Pinchot
said he had never read Mr. Ballinger's
letter of protest, and did not know
what reasons he gave. . .
Mr. Vertrees "Don't you think It
would have been only fair to have read
It before submitting It here with the
Inferences that might be drawn from
your testimony?"
Mr. Pinchot "My knowledge of Mr.
Ballinger's position was based upon an
Interview with him in Mr. Garfield's
office, and I understand It to' be hostile
to what we have since come to call
' conservation."
The witness frankly stated it had
been his policy to withdraw lands for
forest ranger stations when they were
not needed for that purpose, but were
withdrawn to protect possible power
sites.
"So that was your policy, and Secre
tary Garfield's?"
"Tee. sir, and President Roosevelt's
and Secretary Wilson's."
Senator Flint asked the witness If
the statement submitted by Mr. Bal
llnger In regard to the co-operative
agreement was not a fair one and If
the papers submitted were not all that
should have been submitted.
"I know of no other documents that
should have been sent, said Mr. Pin-chot.
"And the statement was a fair one?"
"Pretty fair from Mr. Ballinger's
point of view."
, M. .Vertrees Questioned "the witness
on the subject of the sending of forest
rangers to agricultural colleges, seek
ing to show that Mr. Pinchot had
adopted this policy without the knowl
edge or consent of Secretary Wilson.
The men were sent to colleges In large
numbers', their salaries and expenses
being paid when there.
Mr. Pinchot said that his "impres
sion" was that he had once spoken to
Secretary Wilson about the question,
but he was not willing to swear to it.
Mr. Vertrees read a letter addressed
by Secretary Wilson to the Controller
of the Treasury, saying that he had
learned of the plan of sending the rang
ers to college after Mr. Pinchot had
left the service.
The Controller held the plan to be
Illegal.
Mr. Pinchot said he thought the sub
ject had been erroneously presented to
the Controller. Thereupon Mr. Ver
trees put the whole correspondence be
tween the Controller and the Secretary
Into the records.
Camp Schools Provided.
Democratic members of the com
mittee.' taking up the examination,
brought from the witness the fact that
before the policy of sending the rang
ers to college had been adopted It
had been the practice to have camp
schools from time to time. These schools
were provided for by regulatipn under
the statute and the ex-Forester said
be still thought there was warrant of
law for sending the men to college.
He also thought that if the Forest
Service had presented the case from
Its point of view the Controller would
have so held.
Mr. Vertrees and the witness dis
cussed other features of the Forest Ser
vice until at last Mr. Pinchot exclaimed:
"I find some difficulty in explaining
the Forest Service to a man so little
Informed about It."
Ronald Letter Again Cited.
Mr. Vertrees again questioned the
witness regarding his assertions that
Mr. Balllnger In a report to the Presi
dent concerning the Cunningham coal
cases had been guilty of falsehoods In
three essential particulars. Mr. Pln
clft. reiterated that he had based his
charge upon a copy of a letter of Mr.
Ballinger's former law partner, which
had been sent by Mr. Balllnger to the
President.'
Mr. Pinchot cited the letter1 written
by Mr. -Balllnger to the President Sep
tember 4, In which the Secretary of the
Interior stated that a report submitted
to him by H. H. Schwarz, chief of the
field service, "does not bear out the as
sumption that patents were held up on
the protest of Agent Glavis."
Mr. Pinchot said that further along
Mr. Balllnger clearly showed that cleap
listing of the claims had been made
upon a telegram from Glavis.
Adjournment was taken until tomor
row morning at 10 o'clock.

PAY INCREASE FOUGHT
RAILROAD ARGUES AGAINST

Says Overtime Bonus Would
Lead to Loafing.

meeting of the board of arbitrators who
are to settle the switchmen's strike on
eight railroads entering Chicago was held

evidence will be held next Wednesday.
Each side will have three days in which
to present Its case.
An increase of 6 cents an hour in wages
of switchmen Is demanded as the re
sult of the high cost of living. Increased
peril to switchmen and the loss to rail
roads through tendency to "loaf on the
job," if time and one-half were paid for
overtime work, was given as the reason
for the railroads' fight ,on the men's
scheme of pay by George Shrand at the
hearing today.

that there were men who would pur
posely neglect their work during the

MACHINE RECORDS LOVE
Register of Affections Great Boon to

New York Telegraph.
If you happen to be bashful, which
you possibly may be, in the gentle art
of wooing, you may right now take
unto yourself cheer, jollity, mirth, and
satisfaction, for all your troubles can
soon be over. You may have to be
come a phthymographter to make
things right and you might regard
yourself as a good deal of a cuss to do
that, but you would have the exact
and precise knowledge which Is so
satisfying.
All you have to do is to lure the ob
ject of your affections over to Phila
delphia, and then out to the laboratory
of the psychological clinic of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The rest is
easy. With a careless air you inveigle
her to place her dainty hand of
course, the hand is dainty in a ma
chine which you will notice is labeled
"phthymograph" or "phygmograph."
Then you step into the next room and
get the man In charge of the machine
to whisper your name softly In her ear.
The machine does the rest. If she
had merely a sneaking regard for you,
or If she Is Indifferent, or if she just
palpitates within when she thinks of
you, the machine will show it. The
indicator will tell you the real story
In the next room.
The machine registers a distinct line
on a sheet of paper, which records with
precise accuracy the force of the emo

tion of your name.
Of course, if the line swerves despair
ingly down, there is nothing In the
world to do but get the girl away as
soon as possible and seek in other fields
your heart mate. But if it curves up
and curves up -with a good, smart
sharpness it is a cue for you to rush
back, tell the man who is operating' the
machine that he really isn't needed,
and then clasp the dear girl firmly to

sample plate is first molded and fitted. Errors, if any, are corrected, so that when your plate
is finished and set, it looks well, chews your food well and causes no annoyance or discomfort. In

In the Capitol at Washington and in nearly every state in the Union, investiga
tions are going on as to the reason for the increasing cost of living. Food ex
pense has become a serious problem in many families, and a nation-wide protest
is being made against the present range of food prices.
We have not hitherto featured the economy of

simply because it has so many other qualities to recommend it But in view of
the present situation we urge upon every family to begin the use of Ghirardelli's
Cocoa. It will prove a delightful surprise to those who have never tasted this
delicious beverage, and its use will materially lower the cost of the family food,
because it is the most rnjp.tive and satisfying of all foods.
Try it to-day. . You will feel better, you will be stronger and you will need
less of other foods. It costs less than a cent a cup.
