CAN ATTACHED TO TALKATIVE KERBY Ballinger Fires His Stenogra1 pher for Exposing the "Whitewash" Letter. SENDS A STINGING LETTER IN WHICH HE TELLS HIS SUBORDINATE THAT HE IS UNWORTHY OF SERVING THE PUBLIC IN THE FUTURE. ' (Palladium Special).; - Washington, May 16. Stenographer Kerby of the Interior department, who made the statement that the letter written by President Taft "whitewashing" Ballinger was. in reality composed In the Interior department, has had a large can attached to him. Secretary Ballinger said that his action In discharging Kerby was the only course left open to him. He would make no further comment, saying that "the letter speaks for Itself," referring to the letter of dismissal sent to Kerby. Secretary Ballinger's letter to Kerby follows: . Letter Sent to Kerby. "Sir: You are hereby discharged from the public service because you are unworthy vto remain in it. . In divulging' Information obtained by you In the confidential relation of stenographer to the secretary of Interior; in communicating that information to thoBe whom you are bound to know are wrongfully seeking to bring reproach upon the administration and to injure me; and in deliberately misstating material facts as to what you did, such as treacherously communicating them. You show that you are unworthy and unsafe. The fact that your treachery is subtle can not mitigate the character of your offense. For the good of the service you are hereby dismissed. "Respectfully, R. A. Ballinger. "Secretary of Interior." President Is Roasted. President Taft is universally condemned by newspaper editorial comment in the east for his action in the Ballinger case. Privately, his own friends in congress verse their shame and disgust at his action in imposing upon the public. . by permitting the predating of Wickersham's memoranda on the Glavis charges and by allowing Ballinger and his associates to prepare their vindication, which the president held out to the public as his own. The New York Sun condemns the president and the attorney general. It is the opinion of the republicans in congress that no other act of the president has contributed so much to make him inavailable as a candidate for renomination.

The house was searched but she could not be found. 1 .' Then a starting discovery was made. At the 8LL'of the house, stretched up against the young girl's window, was. a. Jong ladder which told more plainly than words that Reba had eloped, via the old fashioned ladder route, ; An investigation was made and It was found that Arthur Macks was also missing. It did not take Mr. and Mrs. Wine very long to put two and two together and figure out the result.

CITY WAS CONGESTED THROUGHOUT DAY

At Business Meeting of Delegates Today Ft. Wayne Is Only Bidder for Convention Next Year Motion to rush Business Through Today Lost by Close VoteCommittees Named by President of Order.

Ideal weather conditions marked the opening of the Golden Jubilee of the St. Joseph's Catholic Benevolent society yesterday. The day was perfect in every particular and the success of the affair was beyond all expectations. It is estimated that between six and seven thousand visitors, including delegates and representatives from Catholic societies all over this section of the country, attended the monster celebration, which ws without doubt the most elaborate understaking of its kind ever attempted by a similar organization in this state. Every train arriving in the city in the morning and many of the interurbans brought hundreds of visitors. Before noon the streets of the city were thronged with a mass of people and the problem of feeding the gigantic crowds soon resolved itself into interesting proportions. Over fifteen hundred were fed at the St. Andrew's school hall by the ladies of the church. It was the intention to serve supper there also, but In view of the fact that practically everything was disposed of at noon, only a light lunch could be served. AH of the restaurants and hotels in the city were filled to overflowing during meal time, and they all did one of the biggest days' business in their history. y Parade the Feature. Beyond all doubt the ' grand parado in the afternwo.was tbejfeature of the Jubilee. Catholic societies from" Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky, including several companies of Uniformed Rank Knights and a number of bands, drum corps,, participated In the march through the principal streets of the city, gaily decorated in honor of the occasion. John Hafner, Sr., lead the parade and was assisted by Peter Geier and Peter Bode, assistant marshals. Some idea of the length of the parade may be determined when it is known that It required twenty-three minutes for the pageant to pass a given point. It is roughly estimated that fully 4,000 were in line. There was music all the time. One band would cease playing only for another to strika up, and thus it continued. The parade was delayed somewhat by several accidents along the line of march. At the corner of Fifth and Main streets FAMOUS ACTRESS HAS SUFFERED BREAK DOWN Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the famous actress, who has broken down during her present tour of this country and is now confined to her bed with nervous prostration, at the home of her daughter-in-law in Chicago.

the float carrying fifty girls of the SL Andrews school broke down while the wagon was turning on the street car tracks. The axle broke and the girls were shaken up. but no one was injured however. The float was taken out and the parade continued. A similar accident was experienced at Eighth and Main street when the big float carrying the senior members of the St. Joseph : society also broke down under the strain. However, none of the members were injured. At Fifteenth and Main street John Hafner was thrown from his horse by the breaking of the saddle girth, and another delay was experienced. The saddle was soon repaired and Mr. Hafner, who was uninjured fortunately, continued to lead the parade. - v The Indianapolis delegation was the largest and was accompanied by two bands. From Indianapolis were the Sherman Council of the fit. Joseph's Catholic church. Capital Council. St. Patrick's church, Weber Council, West Indianapolis Council,: Holy Angel church, McCabe Council, Holy Cross church, and Central Council, St John's church. There were also representatives from the churches of the Sacred Heart, St. Mary's and St. Bridget's. Gave Interesting Drill. ' Considerable attention was attracted to the Sherman Council drill , team which wentthrough several maneuvers on the line of march. The team "has been drilled in an excellent manner and its military tactics are worthy of more than passing commendation. The Brookville Juvenile band also attracted attention and the youngsters made some excellent music. Three commanderies of Knights from Cincinnati were in the parade, accompanied by a band. In fact practically every visiting delegation had its own band and the air was continually filled with music. The Knight from St. Edward also had a drum corps and drill team from the same commandery. The Local Delegation. The Richmond City Band led the parade just behind the marshal. The organization includes twenty-five pieces and is an excellent one. The 8t. Joseph society employed the First Regiment Band of the Knights of 8L John of Cincinnati and It made an excellent Impression. The Richmond delegation was composed of 200 members of the SL Joseph society, 75 from -Gonzaga Council Y. M. I., ISO knights of Columbus, 75 members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and 75 from John Buerchman Boys society. Thousands of people lined both sides of Main street when the pageant passed along that thoroughfare. The merchants on that street responded to the request to decorate their piacea of business with awllllngness that was characteristic of the general good. feeling of every one toward the affair. Immediately following the parade the Rev. J. H. Hilenbrand delivered an address in English at the SL Andrews churcirr The speaker gave an interesting talk In which he reviewed the history of Catholicism and Its Influence on the community.
