BEVERLY, :.:ass. Sectetary of the
Interior Iiuiiiner was Euuuroiied io
the summer capitol for a cunfereiicj
on Tuesday. Ouicia.iy. he and Ta.t
are said to have ukcussed the admin
istrative features of the $2u,000,0rt0
reclamation bond issue, but authori
tative information indicates that the
conference was of ranch deeper s'gni
ficance. Whether or not Ballinger is
to remain in the Taft. cabinet was
probably decided.
It is certain, however, that '.here will
be no announcement on the subject
until after the report cf the congres
sional Balllnger-Pinchot investigation
committee is made public. Colonel
Roosevelt is probably the first pro
Pinchot supporter with whom the pres
ident has talked in regard to the con
servation situation since the congres
sional inquiry closed. It is, therefore,
regarded as peculiarly significant that
immediately following the next Taft
Roosevelt conference should come the
announcement that Secretary Ballin
ger was summoned to talk over affairs
with the president. Furthermore, the
date comes within the 15-day period
