WASHINGTON-. Iec. 7. 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.

RESIDENTS NOW HAP FT.
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.

Arizona's proposed constitution, pro
viding for the recall of all elective of
ficers. Including the Judiciary, was
adopted today by a vote of 38 to 0, as
originally Introduced by the executive
committee, after being subjected to
more strenuous and Intense assaults
than bad any other proposed portion of

one Republican voted against the pro

names of President Taft, Senator
Bailey and Governor Sloan In a debate
that was heated and caustic The

call stood throughout against the as
saults of the press snd the advice from
all Democratic leaders In Arizona, as
well as that of Senator Bailey, of
Texas, who advised the exclusion of all
debatable provisions In order to as
sure statehood.
Recall Forces Firm.
Three separate efforts were made to
day to prevent the recall of the Judi
ciary from being written Into the con
stitution. The first hour of the session
was spent in securing the presence of
absent members, while thoee present
were prevented by locked doors from
escaping. as President Hunt stated It,
when giving that order to the sergeant-at-arma.
Almost all of that time was
spent In lobbying among members, but
the advocates of the "recall of all offi
cers" eould not be moved. An effort
was made to obtain a conference of
Democrats, but a motion for recess
failed.
Before the final vote was taken Dele
gate Tuthlll. Dem.. read an excerpt
from President Taffs message to Con
gress relating to the lndependenoe of
the Judiciary, concluding with the

DENIALS APLENTY
SENT-TOJAPANESE
PA-SAD EXA WOULD APOLOGIZE
FOR SXTB TO ADMIRAL.
Fearing International Complication,
City. Officials Hnrry Resolu

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.)
Joseph Lynch, a well-known business
man of this city, today filed a petition
with the Board of Education, request
ing that a hearing be held in connection
with the order of Principal Williams,
notifying some of the girl students to
leave their false curls on the bureau at
home, and dress correctly. Mr. Lynch's
daughter was sent home. It is alleged,
because she was not wearing a dress
appropriate for the schoolroom, the
sleeves being too short and the collar
cut too low.
.The father, who prides himself In
dressing his children unusually nicely,
objected, and Is said to have visited the
school to remonstrate with the prlncl
pal, but failed to find him. 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.
The board met tonight, and It was
expected that Mr. Lynch would be
present, but through a misunderstand
ing he did not attend, and the hearing
went over.
KOLB AND DILL CAN'T JIBE
Even Judge Graham TJnaMo to Bring
Popular Comedians Together.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 7. (Special.)
There will be no reconciliation between
Kolb and Dill, the comedians who for
years have been favorites with the Pa
cific Coast theater-going public.
Judge Thomas Graham, in the Superior
Court today, held an hour's session with
Max Dill. At Its conclusion he an
nounced that it would be impossible to
bring them together. The Job, the court
said, was a greater one than any he had
heretofore tackled.
"I am sorry," added the court, "for
they comprised a team of the greatest
living comedians."
Dill was in court with Miss Minnie B.
Cushman, ' former wardrobe caretaker
for the Kolb & Dill "company, who was
appointed receiver of the local property
at the time the trouble between the two
actors reached the court. Miss Cushman
had sold the assets. Including scenery
and costumes, to Dill for $2500 and Bhe
asked the court to confirm the sale. This
was done and the receiver discharged.

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.
