CALCIMINE BRUSH
IS HOT PROBABLE
Investigation Will Be Fair Both to Baliinger and To Pinchot.
DECISION NOW REACHED
FRIENDS OF FORESTER CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHERMAN AND CANNON SHOULD SELECT JOINT COMMITTEE.
Washington, Dec. 28. The so-called Ballinger-Plnchot Investigation will be made by a joint committee composed of six senators and six representatives
Four of the senators will be republicans and two will be democrats. The same rule will govern the appointment
of the house memrers of the committee. The senate members of the com
mittee will be appointed by Vice-President Sherman and those from the
house by Speaker Cannon. This gen
eral outline of the investigating procram was decided on by the leaders
after Senator Knute Nelson of Minne
sota had conferred with the president,
The probability Is that Senator Nelson
will be chairman of the joint commit
tee. He said today that he was not seeking the assignment, but if chosen
he would accept and do his utmost to see that the investigation was thor
ough and fair to all interests at stake. Why Taft Is Displeased. While the makeup of the joint com
mitiee nas noi yet uecu asic uiwn,
the suggestion has been made that the members be chosen from the various committees in the senate and house
that have directly to do with the sub
jects that are likel to be touched on
in the investigation. This plan, it
was pointed out, would put on the com mittee from the senate some one repre
senting the committee on agriculture
and forestry, conservation of natural resources, Indian affairs, irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands and public lands; and from the house representation from the committee on agriculture
Indiana affairs, irrigation of arid lands
and nubile lands.
Friends of the president say he is
greatly displeased with the talk in
Borne quarters that this investigation is to be a whitewash for Secretary Bal-
lineer and the department of the in
terior. It is because of this talk, these
friends say, that the president is some
what Insistent that the joint commit
tee be made up of men representing the committees above named, and that men in whom tho public has the ut
most confidence shall be chosen. Pinchot's Friends Suspicious.
Some of the friends of Forester Pin
chot are expressing disappointment
that the Joint committee Is to be ap
nnlnt.ed bv Vice-President Sherman
and Speaker Cannon. They are say
in orlvately that these two men have
never been overly friendly to Pinchot or his policies; but they are expressing
the hope that with the President insisting on the appointment of a square deal committee no attempt will be made to put on the joint committee senators or representatives who are known enemies of the forest service or the general conservation idea. It was said today that the introduction of the joint resolution calling for the investigation and providing for the appointment of the. joint committee will be left to Senator Jones, of Washington state. Tho resolution is to be presented a week from tomorrow when congress reconvenes. Secretary MacVeagh Trapped.
Secretary MacVeagh has been trapped by his own economy plan. The treasury clerks are smiling, while in
the custom houses throughout the country excepting New York, uncompli
mentary remarks are being matte.
It Is the custom of the treasury denartment every year to supply its em
ployes with a handsomely engraved calendar. Retrenchment having struck it for 1!10. the department is
sued an order that only enough calen
H.r. should he nrinted to supply the
treasury building in Washington. This
of course, cut out the custom house and treasury branches everywhere else. The limited number was duly printed, when
It was discovered that a regulation of the department existed forbidding the display in any custom house of any calendar other than that issued by the department. The order since has been modified to exempt the New York custom house, but e-sewhere the clerks
must glance at their morning papers
to learn the date of the month.

In Germany, where the conscript is
frequently treated with the greatest harshness, there are very few towns where there are not specialists whose living depends solely in inducing such
a condition of affairs as will render
young men exempt by reason of unfitness. In the French army it is quite common for youths to feign all manner of Ills, deafness being the usual ailment trusted to in order to escape the service. As a result the military doctors have made an especial study of methods of detecting feigned deafness and to trap the cunning youth who acts the part of a deaf man. Another common practice in France Is to tamper with the eyesight though this frequently results in permanent injury. For instance, short sight is
Christmas with his parents Mr. and produced by wearing powerful con
cave glasses for a considerable time despite the risk of bringing about permanent blindness. It Is no uncommon occurrence for mea to commit suicide rather than submit to forced service in the army. In eastern Europe most brutal methods are adopted by parents In order that their sons may be able to work for them Instead of serving in the army. The boys are frequently ill treated, and It is not at all uncommon even for their limbs to be broken or
their sight to be destroyed in order to prevent any likelihood of their having to become soldiers. Switzerland probably has the cheapest army and the least burdensome methods of conscription, the service being much lighter than In the other continental armies. Indeed, the conscript in the infantry army has to undergo actual training for only 135 days during the entire period of his service. Philadelphia Ledger.

New York, Dec. 28. That the De-
partment of the Interior is working
against conservation just as energetic
ally now as ever in the past, will be alleged by Collier's in its issue of January 1st. One charge is that Frederick H. Newell, the director of the Reclama
tion service, is being interfered with by the Interior Department because his work is displeasing to large private irrigation interests. On this subject the paper says:
"The future of the West rests largely
upon irrigation. U.der government irrigation projects the cost of the water to the user varies from three to five
dollars a year, or at the end of ten
years the water-user owns the water
absolutely. The lend costs him not over $2. Under private Irrigation proects, controlled in many cases by large
interests, the settler is compelled to pay originally for the land from $30O to $1,00) an acre, and from $5 to $
an acre for the water. The government official who will discourage gov
ernment projects vill, of course be
popular with the private irrigation interests. Director Newell of the Reclamation Sservice is not popular with
the private Interests. He Is working for the welfare of farmers of the fu
ture, and that kind of official integri
ty pays few financial dividends. It is treason to the lend and water looters. Now we suggest to various senators and representatives that they find
out exactly what has been done to Mr.
Newell in Washington In the last few weeks. "Observe the make-up of any investi
gating committee of the house or senate with the closefet scrutiny. The shrewdest politicians in the nation are at work. A committee which shall honestly attempt to get at the whole truth will be none to easy to obtain. The Senate Public Land committee would be a joke." An even more serious charge is that the Interior Department is at the pres
ent moment resorting to trickery to I
defeat the contentions of the government in the suits now being conducted in Seattle over the Cunningham claims. This attempted treachery is described by Collier's as follows: "Are you, O patient reader, a Common Person? Then, in combat with a Special Interest, you are powerful as an unarmed baby fighting with a bull.
There have been inquiries about what we meant when, two weeks ago. we said that, amid all present virtuous noise, sleight-of-hand was being exercised as usual in the department of Achilles. Here is one illustration: You have noticed something about hearings in Seattle. The supposed purpose of those hearings is that the In
terior Department shall derend the public domain while attorneys for claimants urge their case. This com
edy was arranged for the innocent i
spectator. What actually confronted the department was how it could lose the suits without exposure. The rather clever scheme agreed upon was to send an honest but incredibly Ignorant youth to represent the government. The Interior Department selected a man named Sheridan. It has carefully decorated the record with tributes to his genius. Actually, he had one year's experience as a subordinate special agent in Denver. He emerged
from a night law school course in
1U07. Of the ageats who were familiar with these cases, Glavls had been discharged, and the others wrre carefully sent away to distant points. "Lawyers, listen. Sheridan objected to a question on cross-examination because it was a leading question. When one of his ovn questions, on di
rect examination, was objected to as leading, Sheridan gravely declared he
had the right to indicate to his witnesses what answer he expected. You don't believe such ignorance possible? Ask those who were at the hearing. And Sheridan is opposed to two of the leading lawyers in the West. "If the plan to lose the cases in Seattle is successful, what follows? The Cunningham claims go to Dennett. You know about Dennett, from our issue of two weeks ago. Next they go to Pierce, the same who has already struggled to push them through. Per
haps our friend Lawler will have a chance at them also. Baliinger will
look the other way. in order to be impartial, and the game will achieve Its
successful close. Such is the plot, in
spite of public outcry. Insiders are betting seven to three the Guggenheims
