FORMER GRAZING EXPERT NAMED
Threa Principal Assistants of Pinchot
Alto Discharged Situation
Grows Intense.
Washington, Jan. 8. Gifford Pin
chot, chief forester and intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was dis
missed last night from the service of
the United States by President Taft
for insubordination. Associate Fores
ter Overton W. Price and Asiistant
Law Officer Alexander C. Shaw, Pin
chot 's immediate assistants in the for
estry bureau, followed their chief out
of government employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac
tion of Mr. Pinchot in inducing Sen
ator Dolliver to read a letter from him
in the senate yesterday, President Taft
today would listen to no advice that
the forester's violation of executive
orders be overlooked pending the in'
quiry soon to be undertaken by con'
gress.
He declared the dienitv of the oresi-
dentin office was being attacked and
he would be unfaithful to his trust if
tie submitted longer.
Mr. Taft undoubtedly realizes fully
what the dismissal of Forester Pinchot
means in a political way. lie has been
convinced for some time that the so
called "insurgents" and other critics
of his administration had enlisted the
services of Mr. Pinchot and practi
cally were defying him to dismiss Pin
chot from office. The latter 's letter of
yesterday, few here doubt, was writ
ten with the direct purpose of "put
ting it squarely up to the president."
The president sought to avoid the
threatened war as long as he could,
but declared today that -patience had
ceased to be a virtue. He picked up
the gauge of battle thrown down by
Mr. Pinchot through the hand of Sena
tor Dolliver in the senate, and, with
the administration supporters, is ready
for the coming fray.
Political observers in Washington
declare that the situation created bv
today's developments is .the most tense
in many years. What the outcome will
be no one is willing to prophesy. In
the house of representatives today
Speaker Cannon lost his first fight to
the insurgents, who, combining with
the Democrats, caused to be adopted
an amendment to the Ballinger-Pinohot
iiKjuiry rewiuwvn bo as 10 lane irom
the speaker .the power to appoint the
house members of the joint committee
of special investigation.
CARDINAL SINKS TO DEATH.
Apostolic Delegate to America High In
Ecclesiastical Circles.
Borne, Jan. 8. Cardinal Satolli,
whose life has been slowly ebbing
away for the past two weeks, died this
morning at 4 o'clock. It had been
known for several days that the emi
nent prelate could not survive his pres
ent illnesB, and the last rites of the
church had been administered some
days ago. His death was a gradual
sinking, and the end came peacefully.
Francesco Satolli was born in Mer
cians, Perugia, July 21, 1841. In his
earlier manhood he became professor of
dogmatic theology in the Urban Col
lege of the Propaganda at Rome, and
in 1888 he was made archbishop of
Lepanto. At the establishment of the
see of Baltimore in 1889 he was sent
to America as papal representative. He
returned to the United States in 1892
in the position of appellant judge with
extraordinary discretion.
Italy Names Ambassador.
Berne, Jan. 8. The Marquis Cusani-
Confalioneri, who for three years has
held the post of Italian minister to
Switzerland, has been notified of his
appointment as ambassador to the
United States in succession to Baron
Mayor des Planches. The marquis, his
wife, son and daughter are most pop
ular here and have a large circle of
mends in the United States. The mar
quis speaks five languages and also is
a painter and author. He belongs to
one of the oldest families in Milan,

Nitrate) Trust Proposed.
Christiania, Jan. 8. It is said J. P.
Morgan of New York and the Deuts-
eher bank of Berlin are planning a
world-wide trust in the nitrate indus
try with a capital of (200,000,000. It
is understood that the syndicate in
tends to purchase all the saltpeter
mines in Chile and the nitrate works
in Norway, where $20,000,000 is in
vested. The scheme, it is said, has not
passed the stage of preliminary discus
sion, and skepticism concerning its
succcess prevails.
Shopmen to Join Strike.
St. Paul, Jan. 8. Thomas von Lear,
district president of the Machinists'
union, said tonight that a strike vote
has been taken by the railway machin
ists or the northwest, and 90 per cent
of the members have voted in favor of
obeying instructions from the railway
department of the Federation of Labor
should that department decide to ex
tend the switchmen's strike.
Women Fay $7500 Fines.
New York, Jan. 8. Mary K. Weber
and Kathryn Schwarz, who conducted
a dressmaking establishment in Chi
cago under the name of Madame Whit
ney, were charged with "sleeper
trunk" smuggling in the circuit court
here today and fined $7500 each on a
plea oi guilty.
COLD UNPRECEDENTED.
Chicago, Jan. 7. What was looked
upon as an exciting weather drama,
when the present stressful eold was
in process of sweeping eastward from
the Rockies and from Medicine Hat to
the Atlantic seaboard, is fast assuming
an aspect of dire tragedy. The situa
tion is full of dire possibilities of ex
posure and suffering. Already the
blight of the severe cold has been felt
in many Western cities.
Fifty or more persons, score of
whom are in hospitals with injuries
that may prove fatal, were the victims
of accidents in Washington today as a
result of the sleet and snow which con
verted the city's sidewalks and thor
oughfares into sheets of ice.
In many parts of Iowa the fuel situ
ation is so grave as to call for the of
ficial attention of Governor Carroll.
Confiscation of fuel is becoming general.
.Here in Chicago there is only a two
days' supply of coal available for quick
use. Today there was widespread suf
fering in the city. Chicago is also
threatened with the cutting off of its
water supply, due to ice floes clogging
the cribs in the lake.
In the far Northwest and on the
ranges of Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming hundreds of cattle have per
ished of exposure, starvation and lack
of water.
For the first time in the memory of
most persons living, the Mississippi
River is frozen from bank to bank from
St. Louis to a point 60 miles below
that city. By tomorrow morning it is
predicted one might skate on the river
from St. Paul to Memphis. Cincinnati
reports that ice gorges have caused a
loss of $40,000, and that a wave of high
water and ice is coming down the river,
carrying destruction in its path.
STRENUOUS LIFE TELLS.
Thirty-five Pittsburg Captains of In
dustry Die This Winter.
Pittsburg, Jan. 7. The strenuous life
of Pittsburgcrs in their desire to amass
millions as quickly as possible is thin
ning the ranks of the big captains of
industry and depleting the swell clubs
which house the millionaires. Heart
disease has recently taken very promi
nent men, all worth millions, including:
Frank B. Smith, president of the Cru
cible Steel company of America.
James W. Friend, vice-president of

William Clark Magee, who made mil
lions in coke.

iSraoburn steel company.
John Caldwell, treasurer of the great

works, who died at his desk.
James W. Brown, ex-congressman and
millionaire steel magnate, died at a
hunting club, where he had gone to re
cuperate.
Simon O'Donnell, vice-president and
general manager of the Union Stock
lards company.
Albert ii. Baxter, broker, oil and gas
magnate.
John V. Ober, owner of vast business
interests.
George L. Fisher, president of the
Fisher Foundry & Machine company.
iwenty-nve other men have died sua
denly this winter, their wealth ranging
irom siuu.uuu to sauu.uuu. mart dis
ease was the cause in nearly every case.

lionaire millowner, who died here last

W. McNear, George W. McNear, Jr.,
Seward McNear and a. Elizabeth Mc
Near, as the late millionaire put abso
lute trust in the ability of his wife to
carry out an adjustment of his estate
equitable to all.
Taft Coming West Again.
Washington, Jan. 7. President Taft
is still looking forward to a trip to
Alaska late in the coming spring. He
plans to go to the far northwestern ter
ritory immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress. In announcing to a
committee of New York congressmen to
day that he could not definitely accept
their invitation to visit New York on
May 30, the President said he might be
on his way to Alaska at that time, or
that congress might be in its closing
days. In the latter event,- he would
not care to leave Washington.
Fire Destroys Palace.
Athens, Jan. 7. Tbe royal palace at
Tatoi eaught fire at 10 o'clock tonight
when the royal family were gathered
around a Christmas tree. The flames
spread, rapidly rising to a great height.
and soon the right wing of the palace
was practically destroyed. The fire is
believed to have beep due to lllumina
tions on the tree.
The royal family escaped. So far as
is known no one was injured. The
king, who was not in the palace at
the time, hastened home in a motor car,
