Washington, D. C, Dec. 14. The
brief In the Cunningham Alaska coal
lands case which brought on the Bal
llnger Investigation has been com
pleted by Glfford Pinchot and will
soon be submitted to tho president.
Pinchot arrived here today to attend
a session of the National Conserva
tion association. Pinchot "declared
the majority report of the Balllnger
committee supported policies that
Ilalllnger opposed and Justified Pln
chot's Ideas. He said the report ex
cited no Interest as It was known
from tho beginning what the tenor of
tho report would be. He said they
did the easy thing by deciding for a
man high In office and cited Lorlmer
while In Washington as an example.
He said Interest now centers on what
action congress will take regarding
same.
Pinchot said Balllnger "Is the most
dangerous man conservationists ever
knew." He said: '"The people long
ago decided that Judge Madison and
the minority of the committee were
right. Time, effort and money have
been spent In the investigation and
as yet no final result has been ob
tained." IS UNITED STATES

war. An effort was made to smoth

held secret. The secretary thereupon
refused to give any public statement.
It is understood the administration

Representative McLachlan an

tion of the report. Speaker Cannon
turned to Asher Hinds, the house par
liamentarian. Hinds remarked that
the doument was marked confiden
tial, therefore the house could not
openly receive it and demand publi
cation. The report was then left in
Hind's hands.

New Haven, Conn., Dec. 14. Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt, as the
guest of the chamber of commerce at
its annual banquet last night, made
his first public address since the re
cent elections. He was cordially
greeted by a gathering of 600 men rep
resentative of the business and com
mercial interests and the professions
of the state.
The banquet had more than ordi
nary significance through the pres
ence of the guest, who recently was

Invited to attend.
Judge Baldwin was not present and
the place was assigned to him at the
guests' table bore mute evidence of
his absence.
After the toasts had" teen drunk,
Colonel Roosevelt said he was gL?i
to say in New Haven "precisely what
he had said to many former gather
ings in the west."
- Colonel Roosevelt said that during
the last half of the last century,
people had concerned themselves with
the accumulation of material well be
ing, and that its distribution would
take care of Itself. But the people
had come to see, he added, that they
must concern themselves with an
equal distribution of wealth.
"UoJ'cs like this chamber of com
merce." said the colonel, "have been
Industriously taught to regard me as
a kind of modified anarchist. As a
matter of fact, I think that if you
will read what I have said, and not
what certain representatives of the
press have said, you will see that I
have tried to preach only the doctrines
on which the republic was founded. I
am a radical but I am a radical who
earnestly desires to see a radical pro
grm carried out by conservatives. I
wish to see great industrial reforms
carried out, not by the men who will
profit by them, but by men who lose
by them; by Just such men as you
are around me. I believe most em
phatically in the progress which shall
be sane."
Regulate Corporations.
Colonel Roosevelt said he wished
to see the hand of the state and the
nation placed on the great corpora
tions to regulate them.
"The rights of man must be para
mount in a republic such as ours." he
added.
The colonel urged the passing of
legislation to .benefit labor? it was his
criticism of former Judge Baldwin's
attitude toward such legislation which
led to their controversy.
In explaining his Idea of the "square
deal" Colonel Roosevelt said:
"I do not want the prise In the
race to go to the man who Is not fast
enough to win. I want them to start
even."
Equal opportunity, he said, repre
sented the Idea upon which the re
public was founded.
"I care for the fact," he continued,
"and not the least for the form. You
hear a good deal of national rights
and of states rights. I'm for both."
He explained this by saying that he
was for national rights where they
would best serve the welfare of the
people and for states rights where
their exercise was most beneficial.
Colonel Roosevelt said corporations
should be treated with an exact meas
ure of Justice.

Tacoma, Dec. 14. According to
physicians at the Fannie Paddock
hospital, Mrs. S. W. Stimson, who was
believed fatally injured In last night's
headon collision between two inter
urban electrics between Seattle and
Tacoma, will recover. Five of the
18 Injured were taken to the hospit
al but left for their homes today. The
collision was due to a dense fog.
Those hurt were mostly bruised and
a few cut by glass.
Sixteen people were seriously injur

line of the Puget Sound Electric rail
way, when a southbound passenger
leaving Seattle and a north bound
local crashed together In a headon
collision about 13 miles north of Ta
coma in the dense fog at about 9
o'clock tonight. The southbound
train was the interurban .limited
leaving Seattle at 8 p. m. and the
north bound local left Tacoma at the
same hour. No other explanation of
the accident Is given out at this time
than the presence of a heavy fog
which hung over the scene and pre
vented the men in control from see-1
lng the approach of the train from
the opposite direction. The property
loss to the railroad company Is re
ported as disastrous.

Law Office Prominent Attorney
Remembers Her.
Luetta Smith, one of the partici
pants in a sensational trial now on at
Santa, Rosa, California, formerly liv
ed in Pendleton, according to testi
mony given by her upon the witness
stand. Miss Smith is the prosecuting
witness in a case (against Dr. Willard
P. Burke, the head of a sanitarium
where prevail peculiar and uncon
ventional Ideas as to morality and
love. Dr. Burke is charged with hav
ing tried to kill the Smith woman
and her child through the gentle pro
cess of dynamiting, a tent in which
they were living.
In testifying against Burke upon
the witness stand Miss Smith went
into details with reference to the cult
preached by Burke and with which
she took up. It is a sort of a free
love Institution and the following are
some of the teachings:
"The recording angel issues no
hiarrlage certificates.
"Affinity one for another Is too big"
to be cowed by opinion or cramped
by custom."
"You and I are the absolute aban
don of love If we would allow It so."
"The unit Is not the family but
the individual."
"Religion is a device for shutting
out life."
"Passion born of affinity Is di
vine." Worked In Pendleton,
The following paragraph relating
to the life of Miss Smith in this city
is from the San Francisco Call's re
port of the trial.
"At the expiration of that time she
said she went to live at Pendleton,
Ore., and having at a previous time
studied stenography and typewriting,
became a public stenographer, work
ing for the greater part in the law of
fices of that town."
"Did not the wife of one of the
lawyers for whom you worked make
some trouble as to the relations exist
ing between you and her husband?"
"No such thing ever happened?"
she replied emphatically. Her health
failing in Pendleton she said she went
to a hospital in Portland and there
decided that she would take up the
calling of a nurse. She said she stud
led for a time and then became en
gaged as a general nurse in Portland
and later in Oakland.
Raley Remembers Her.
According to Colonel J. H. Raley, a
stenographer by the name of Lu Etta
Smith was employed in the offices of
L. B. Reeder about the year 1896 but
he had not thought of her as being
the same woman as the one connect
ed In the sensational case. However,
he declares that the insinuation of
the attorney for the defense that she
was connected with some scandal
while In this city was not founded on
any truth, as she left here with a
clean record.
