In ISO), when the Carnegie Trust
Company was under the presidency of
the late C C Dickinson, who died
mysteriously last May, an effort waa 1
made to consolidate tha Carnegla
Trust Company, the Nineteenth Ward

Van Norden Trust Company under the
management and name of the Carnegla
Company. Tha Mate Banking Depart

ing that It would be Impossible for a
trust company to consolidate with
. state banks.
The closing of the Carnegie com

circles and caused, little disturbance
onthe stock exchinge. A brief fall

Mr. Dickinson resigned and got Leslie

a very successful business getter, but ha

TAFT STANDS BY" FRIEND
President Believing In Honesty of
Head of Interior Department
Does Xot Heed Plnchot's At-
i
tempts to Defame Him.
ORBQONIAN NEWS BL'REAC. Wash
ington. Jan. 7. (Special.) Gifford Plnchot
and his satellites have clearly Indicated
their purpose to continue to harass the
Taft Administration In the hope of forc
ing the retirement of Secretary Bellinger
from the Cabinet They have tried every
other means of driving Mr. Balllnger out
of office and have failed. Therefore there
remains open to them only this final
course, and that they have entered upon
with considerable seal and determina
tion.' Now, as before. Gifford Plnchot' Is de
pending upon newspapers that are under
hla control, or willing to accept his sug
gestion, to create publlo sentiment an
tagonistic to the men he la fighting, and
It Is noted now, am when the fight began,
that Plnchot and hla associates are In
reality opposing President Taft aa rigor
ously aa they are opposing Ills Secre
tary of the Interior. For thin reason It
la to be presumed that the attack directed
by Mr. Plnchot would not let up ehould
Secretary Balllnger retire, but rather that
It would then be directed at the Presi
dent himself, there being no Intermediary
to stand the Initial assault.
Taft Has Confidence.
President Taft, however, han shown re
peatedly that ha has confidence In Sec
retary Balllnger, and his own conclusions
ss to the Olavls charges and the Plnchot
charges are coincident with the views
of the majority of tha Congressional com
mittee which went to the bottom of the
evidence adduced by Plnchot. Carfleld.
Olavlei et aL
Because of his confidence In Secretary
Balllnger. the President not only will
not ask for, but does not want to receive
the resignation of thla Cabinet officer, and
there Is no Indication that It Is to be
tendered while the fight Is kept up. The
President la aware, or at lefut has been
advlaed, that hts own political prospects
might ba Improved should a change be
made In hla Cabinet, but he will -never
make the change for any such reason-
President Taft's obstinacy In refusing
to make over his Cabinet to suit Plnchot,
Garfield and Glavls has angered these
eminent "highbrows." It galls them to
think that the successor to Roosevelt
should have ao little regard for their
opinions and their suggestions. Moreover,
it galls them to find that the present Ad
ministration Is able to proceed without
their aid and assistance. They are per
fectly aware that the aft a Irs of Govern
ment are being horribly bungled by the
incompetent men constituting the present
Administration; they see the country
going to the "demnitlon bow-wows." and
stand ready to take up their old Jobs
any time the President is ready to make
the tender, but they have grown peevish
with waiting, and therefore have dis
played a determination to "start some
thlng.'' r
Conspirator Are Aided.
The Plnchot-Garfleld-Glavls conspira
tors (for this they were shown to be
by the disclosures before the Congres
sional committee) are aided and abetted
in their attacks upon the Administration
by a avoro or mora of the "uplifters"
among Washington newspaper men. Al
most without exception these writers are
'office men who alt at the desks all day.
grinding out copy of their own concoction
or suggested by some of the heada of
tha movement-" They are not men who
get out after facta, for facts sre not es
sential to their style of writing; quite
the contrary. ' Occasionally there la a
conference; the "highbrows" gather, dis
cuss plana and schemes, and then go back
to their desks and to the dally grind.
One of the foremost of these writers,
a representative of several Western
papers, is notorious In Washington, aa
he waa in the West, for his success as
a "touch" artist. He "touched" all his
newspaper friends in Washington, then
went down the list of Senatorial ac
quaintances, and wound up by borrowing
. from Secretary Balllnger. He never
paya back a loan, and yet within a few
weeks of the time when he procured IM
from Mr. Balllnger he begun his news
paper assaults upon him. and has been
more vitriolic In his writings than any
of hts associates. Recently he was
dropped from the National Press Club,
of Washington, for nonpayment of dues.
Another of the writers was manager and
director of the Plnchot press bureau
while Plnchot waa forester. Others are
of higher standing aa men, but all are on
a par aa writers. They have passed from
the sphere of newspaper correspondents
Into the realm of press agent a.
"Break" Is Pointed Out,
Not long since, these writers discov
ered that President Taft and Secretary
Balllnger held views not sltogether iden
tical as to tha best way of disposing of
coal on the public domain. Immediately
followed a series of articles pointing out
the "break" between the President and
the Secretary, and the gullible public was
told that Secretary Balllnger could not
maintain his dignity and hla office at the
same time. A mere difference of opinion
aa to what should be done on a question
which Congres alone can determine, and
yet these Plnchot satellites sought to
create the Impression that there had
been a breach between Mr. Taft and Mr.
Balllnger.
When Theodore Roosevelt was In Wash
ington recently. Secretary Balllnger. in
a purely personal way. called upon him
and had a half-hour talk. The Colonel
and the Secretary were smiling when
they parted. That time the Colonel got
In bad with' Plnchot's fair-haired boys,
for no friend of Plnchot's can speak to
Balllnger. much less smile at him.
Recently the second Assistant Secre
tary of the Interior retired, and Presi
dent Taft appointed Carml A. Thomp
son retiring Secretary of State of Ohio,
to the vacancy. The President always
appoints assistant secretaries of the
departments; Cabinet offleera never
make these appointments. But Instant
ly the Plnchot press was on the Job:
President Taft. anticipating a scathing
Inquiry Into the affairs of the Interior
Department after the Democratic House
of Representatives organizes, had
picked a man of his own choice, and
one opposed by Secretary Balllnger, to
be Second Aaslstant Secretary of the
Interior. Thompson was chosen to get
down to the real facts, spy on Secre
tary Balllnger, and advise the Presi
dent, and Balllnger was to go. More
over, the mere appointment of Thomp
son was Intended to be an Insult to
Bellinger. And some gullible people
believed this stuff.
It Is unfortunate that the campaign
contribution law does not extend to
I campaigns the like of which Mr. Pln
chot Is waging against the Taft Ad
, ministration. It would be interesting to
: learn the vast amounts of Gifford Pin
j chot's lnhe.lted millions that have been
' expended In the campaign to defile Sec
! retary Balllnger. President Taft and
j others. For It is the Plnchot fortune
I that has footed most of this account;
! the Plnchot sack from which Lawyera
' llrandels. Pepper and others drew much
i of their compensation; it Is this same
Plnchot fortune (Inherited) that is con
tributing to the office expenses, cigars
and drinks of the little coterie of Pin.
chot press agents. All In all. It must
necessarily be a considerable outlay.
But Gifford Plnchot is now a million
aire (by Inheritance) who is out of a
Job. He must have something to oc
cupy his time; some means of spending
his money and something to entertain
himself and his friends. What better
than keeping up ths notorious fight?
For be it remembered Gifford regards
j himself as a Presidential possibility;
nis own relatives taiK or it; ne nimseii
thinks of It, and his friends have It in
mind. Gifford long since learned that
it "pays to advertise," so his heavy ex
penditures In his present campaign are
doubtless charged up to "advertising."
If he did not keep his name In the pa
pers, lie would soon be forgotten, and a
man who hopes and experts to be Presi
dent cannot afford to m forgotten.

The Bureau of Animal Industry haa
now taken up the crusade against the

gone mad and bitten many dogs, sheep
and cattle, and probably will have charge
of the Government rangers who will ba
detailed to assist in their extermination.
A telegram was received from Wash

seven rangers and expert hunters havs
been detailed and that others will follow.
Residents of Union County have be

the woolgrowers' convention, received a
telegram yesterday, asking him to use
his influence to have the Commissioners
of Wallowa County raise the bounty so
thst greater effort will be made to exter
minate the coyotes.
Dr. W. II. Lytle, State Veterinarian,
will go to Wallowa County Tuesday and
probably take temporary charge cj the
forces that will wage war on the coyotes
until they are assembled and represen
tatives of the Bureau of Animal Industry
organize them and enter upon an active
campaign. Since the announcement that
a campaign of extermination will be
waged against the coyotes Dr. Lytle has
received several applications from Indi
viduals who assert themselves to ba ex
pert hunters and trappers. Neither the
State Veterinarian nor the State Board
of Health has funds to hire such help.
It was explained by Dr. Lytle.
Professor Pernot, who has charge of
the examination of the brains of the
coyotes, dogs and sheep that have died
of rabies In Wallowa County, expects
soon to have serum from the backbone

HELENA, Mont.. Jan. 7. (Special.)
The frozen body of J. Porter Grove has

Helena with reports of a rich discov

visited the property, dug out ore with
their own tools and stayed over night.
During the night Grove changed sacks,
substituting rock that had been salted.
The fact was discovered later, but Sen
