The Ballln-irer-Plnchot Investigating committee, after 11 months' work, made Its final report to Congress today. In the opinion of erven Republican members a majority of the commit tee. Secretary Balllnger "honestly and faithfully performed the duties of his high office, with eye single to the public Interest. " In the opinion of the four Demo crats. Mr. Ralllnger "has not been true to the trust reposed In him as Secre tary of the Interior and should be requested by the proper authorities to resla-n. Both reports, with the independent report of Representative Madison. In surgent Republican, also adverse to r. fialllnger. were offered In the Sen- ate by Senator Nelson, and In the House by Representative McCalL Their presentation followed a meeting; of the fall committee. Reports on Equal Footing. The Democratic members, led by Senator Fletcher, of Florida, agreed to this method of getting the reports be fore Congress, after their motion to suhstl'ute their own. report bad been rejected In the committee. Senator Fletcher first raised the point of order ti.at the committee had already ap proved the report that was made pub lic at Minneapolis. This point was overruled by Chairman Nelson. ' A motion then was made to substi tute t .e -inocratlo report for the re port agreed upon by the seven Repub lican members. This was voted down. 7 to ft. Representative Madison voting wlth the four Democrats. It wss agreed after the majority report had been adopted that all three should be pre sented at once la each house and printed together. I'nder this arranirement the dissenting- reports have equal standing; with the majority report before the two houses. An order for 30.000 copies of the report was made by the Senate. Democrats I'rgo Action. Senator Fletcher said later that steps would be taken by the Democrats to bring- about action In accordance with the recommendation In their report. The recommendation In question char acterises Secretary Balllnfter as "not deserving; if fie putlio confidence." and rocommrnds "that he should bs requested by the proper authorities to resign uis office of Secretary of the Interior." The reports were accepted In both houses without comment. The pi. in of action to be followed by the IVmocrata has not been de termined, but It Is understood a resolu tion will be presented to carry out the recommendation of the Secretary's removal. Such a resolution probably will call flatly upon the President to disrharue his Cabinet officer. The Wmocrats held a conference on the subject tod.iy. They characterise the majority re;Tt as "weak." while the Republican members of the com mittee sax It has fully answered all charges against Balllnger and has disposed of ail testimony presented in the lorur hearings. Parliamentary Question Raised. An effort undoubtedly win be made to put the House on record as to Its 1 opinion tC the majority report. Some of the Democratic members favor de manding- consideration of iue report at the first opportunity, following up taeir demand with an appeal from the decision of the chair, should Speaker Cannon rule them out of order. Off.clala of the Interior Department declined to make any comment what ever on ths majority report. In case the Speaker permits mat ters to take their course. It Is held by parllamnntarlans that a resolution de manding a vote would be necessary. Such a resolution would have to go to soma standing committee for report, and as no such committee would relish the responsibility, the resolution prob ably would be pigeon-holed. The general feeling la that there will be no action on the report at this session, which means not at all. for the report loses Its force with ths expiration of the present Congress In March. Secretary Fully Sustained. After statin,1 that the evidence pre sented r la the main to charges of various ids aealnst Mr. Baillnger and that ee came chiefly from two sources 1 K.

Five) Score Homeward-Bound Folk Rpftise fo Transfer to "Next Car" Victory Results. Indignant because, the motorman and conductor started to run the car back to the city when they refused to transfer. Id parser g era on the Rose City Park line last night gave expression to their wrath by repeatedly pulling the trolley from the wire, causing the crew to change their course and operate to the end of the line, delivering their smiling and triumphant passengers at their respective street a The oar made the usual number of stops to Thirty-ninth street, when, with out announcement. It was backed onto a switch. The passenger were asked to transfer to other cars which had followed It and which were kept waiting on the main line. Some of the more timid ones started to obey, but one little fellow, who bad been banging onto a strap all the day, urged the people to remain. He declared the street railway company bad no right to ask them to transfer. Eloquence won the day. The little fel low was backed up by most of the men and all the women. Between the bellig erency of the aggressive passenger and the uncertain attitude of the conductor none dared to leave. In the meanwhile the motorman shift ed the trolley, changed ends and started to run the car onto the main track and back to the city. He had proceeded less than a block when the trolley was Jerked off. The conductor calmly pro ceeded to replace It. Again It was re moved. Again It was replaced. As of ten as It was put back onto the wire a ready passenger pulled It off. Finally. In fear and disgust, the crew ran the car to Its proper destination and the passengers went home happy.

Fearing International Complication, City. Officials Hnrry Resolu tions by Wire. PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 7 (Spe cial.) Never in history have young women turned ur) their fascinating noses npon Invitations to a ball with such extraordinary results as those following the called-off function in honor of Admiral Yaahiro and the other officers of the Japanese training squadron. The only way to avoid In ternational complication seems to be to call In the Mikado to witness the chastisement of the offending belles by their horrified parents. Pasadena never saw such a stir as that which attended the publication of the Hotel Maryland society Indignity to the little brown naval officers. The business men of the city sent the Mrkados away today with a shower gOf resolutions. The Mayor assures the Admiral that it is not true, the Board of Trade makes a respectful salaam and a mournful shake of the head, de nying everything for the honor of Pasadena. The Hotel Men's Associa tion does the same. D. M. Llnnard, manager of the Mary land, hastens to the edge of the foam ing billows and shouts after the Jap anese fleet to believe him that It Is not so. Meantime the facts remain, and the Japanese population is wild eyed, while a lot of apologists are scoring the naughty girls and Incident ally raking over the coals the hotel management, which precipitated the rumpus. i The city's chief executive and the civic associations today sent out reso lutions .ct denial by wire, mall and messenger. Tonight Mayor Barley ad mitted that the newspaper article had a basis. CURL ORDER PROTESTED Father of Girl Barred From School for Dress, Demands Hearing. STOCKTON, .Cal., Dec. 7. (Special.)

Then he appealed to the Board of Education to decide whether his daughter should be excluded from school when she did not wear a dress that pleased the principal.

SNOW FALLS; WIND IS COLD Women Wear Red Hats antf Men Flare Red Ties. POLICE GUARD MARCHERS Nonunion Woman Garment-Worker Is Felled by Picket Wlio Beats and Hicks Her Workmen From Out of Town Assailed. CHICAGO, Dec. 7. (Special.) Strik ing garment workers, to the number of between 20,000 and 25,000, paraded the West Side streets today, held many mass meetings. Including the wlndup at the National League Park, where President Murphy provided 75,000 sand wiches and coffee for all. The line of march was closely guarded by police, and extra details were on call, but there were no outbreaks. Miss Hannah O'Neill, a nonunion garment worker was severely beaten by a picket, who slipped up behind her and felled her with a blackjack. Ha was beating and kicking her in the body and face when bystanders drove him away. Earlier In the day, 20 non union workmen, coming from Eastern cities, were mobbed at the LaSalle street Railway Station and badly beaten. A riot call brought the police, and the bruised and crippled arrivals were taken to a hotel, where the mob dispersed. English Tongue Not- Heard. The parade was remarkable for sev eral things. Although red flags had been forbidden by the police, the wo men Wore red hats and the men flam ing red ties. Bands played the Marseil laise, and the long lines of marchers sang It in many tongues all except English. The banners were chiefly In Yiddish, Polish and Bohemian, and every language was heard except English. Strike leaders had been confidently predicting a parade of 0,000 to 75,000, but it was apparent when the parads started that the number would not reach that figure. The thermometer was below freezing, snow was falling and a strong wind was blowing. Assurances had been given Chief of Police Steward that perfect order would be maintained and that no red flags or incendiary banners would be car ried. Police Permit Banners. Banners were carried, bearing the legends In Yiddish: "The Working Class Should Be Organized and Incor porated." "We Want the Union Label," "We Are Against Overtime," "The American Federation of Labor Is With Us." These labels were translated by a police expert and were allowed by the police. Thousands of spectators lined the route, while 800 police watched tha strikers and the strike-bound tailor ing shops, ready to prevent any out break. m , The overwhelming rush for coffee and sandwiches at the ball park was the nearest approach to a riot. Inas much as the majority of the marchers were Yiddish, President Murphy hastily explained that Kosher ham had been used in the sandwiches, but they would have been eagerly devoured regardless of this precaution. Labor Leaders Speak. At the Park mass meeting addresses were delivered by Raymond Robins, A. V. Tvletmoe, of San Francisco, Joseph Hartyman, of Los Angeles, and three local speakers. Little progress was anade in pesos negotiations today, it being apparent that the radicals among the strikers will vote down any proposition that does not include the closed shop and Immunity for pickets guilty of violence.
