Rumors Are Rife However,
That Resignation is

Washington, Sept. 16.—Whether
Richard A. Ballinger’s resignation as
secretary ot the Interior will‘Tollow
Immediately upon the meeting of the
cabinet, September 26. to attend which
he Is now enroute from Seattle, or
whether he will retain his position in-
definitely, at least until after the de-
livery to congress of the reports of
the committee that investigated his
stewardship of the public domain, de-
pends now upon the attitude of his
cabinet associates.
Mr. Ballinger is coming to Wash-
ington, his friends say, wholly un-
conscious of any act on his part of
which he should be condemned and
has determined to force his chief and
his official colleagues to be in ef-
fect his judges. If they concur in
the view at present attributed to Mr.
Taft that the accused secretary shall
be sustained as an innocent and per-
secuted man. he will retain his po-
sition; if they fall to back htm up,
he will resign. That this Is Mr. Bal-
linger's position was learned here to-
day upon authority hardly to be
questioned.
Dickinson is Absent.
At the first meeting of the cabinet
after the summer, Secretary Dickin-
son. the Democratic member will not
have returned from the Philippines
and will therefore lie saved the em-
barrassment rtf participation in what
is regarded as largely a problem of
Republican policy. The meeting is
expected to last three days. It wilt
surprise nobody here if the Ballinger
case occupies a large part of tho
time.
Rumors have been constant and
definite here during the last few days
that Mr. Ballinger's resignation would
lie one of the first deveopments of the
cabinet meeting; but' his friends, in-
eluding his associates in the Interior
department, have refused to believe
that he would retire 'under fire" and
have pointed to his repeated declara-
tion to the contrary, and to the re-
cent statement attributed to hi mthat
he would resign only at the specific
request of the president.
Turmoil Must Cease.
Some of these, however, today ad-
mitted that they themselves and the
secretary are alive to the fact that
the turmoil and uncertainty Into
which the protracted controversy had
plunged the department must be
abated soon unless this Important
branch of the public service is to be-
come demoralised.
Nobody here doubts that a ma-
jority—all but one of the Republican
members—of the investigating com-
mittee will sustain Secretary Ballln-
ber; but Mr. Ballinger and his par-
tisans here were greatly disappoint-
ed that the absence of Senators Root
and Flint from the Minneapolis meet-
ing left the pro-Ballinger portion of
the committee in thb minority and
permitted the Democrats and the in-
surgent Republican member to put
forth reports condemning him. Theje
reports for many weeks will stand
lore the country as the only findings
of the committee; whereas he had
relied upon the majority for a vindi-
cation.
Determined His Course.
It is this failure of the committee
to take final action, which it is said,
has determined Mr. Ballinger's course.
It was said here today by a close
friend of the secretary that had the
majority of the committee been
ready to report at the Minneapolis
meeting, he would then have tendered
his resignation to the president and
urged its acceptance on the ground
that the dissensions to which he has
been a party were detrimental to the
public Interest.
This situation Is said to have con-
vinced Mr. Ballinger that his posi-
tion, In spite of the continued support
of the president, has become unten-
able. Unable, as he sees it to re-
sign as either vindicated or condem-
ned by the committee ,he has decid-
ed, it is said, to demand of his su-
perior and his cabinet associates eith-
er vindication or condemnation.
Mr. Ballinger left his home in Se-
attle yegterady and will reach Wash-
ington several days in advance of tho
cabinet session. His purpose in thus
expediting his return is believed to
bo a counsel with his Immediate su-
bordinates and to get In their assist-
ance in preparing for his demand up-
on the cabinet for a "show down."

Everything waft In readiness yesterday. The slioothiR was pullethoff without a Idteli. An electric battery
was turd to set off u el large of 210 quarts of the esplosiye. *
Almost before the report was heard tlie oil, elc., was seen to gush fifty feet over the 75-foot derrick and
for fully three minutes it continued steadily, gradually growing weaker until It closed entirely.
It was exactly like wane one sliiitiing off a hydrant* When those who continued lo slgld from the hill

Thp action of the gas could lie plainly heard fifty yards away. Oil was everywhere. The derrick was

Tho officials present present seemed to tw* jubilant over the whole thing lint not u statement would
they give out except to diwxmrage the idea that they found what they wanted.
As far as the public Is concerned the well is still a mystery. Though all kinds of rumors are afloat
no one doubts tluit there Is plenty of oil.
The company officials will not deny it and If indications nut there count for anything then* Is worlds

That the weather clerk has un Im-

when thousands of loyal Mexican men
and Women, augmented by a large,
contingent of Americans, braved the

and witness ie liKphiv of fire works
in Juarez.

of patriotic oratory; but it never

At It \v«H from the church steps
at Dolores that the patriot priest sent
forth his Immortal cry: "Viva Mexico!

it was fit that the fire works in com-
memoration of the accomplishments
of the tndendent Mexico, should
have been set off from the roof of
the undent Juaros cathedral.

Report* of all kinds were flying around thick and fast yester-
day among the speculators, real estate dealers and property owners
in the business district. As to the meaning of the various ninety-day
options being taken and sought by various parties on property in
the vicinity of the corners of El Faso and Overland streets and on
Oregon and overland streets. One report which was given much
credence was that a party who had paid a big price for an option
on a corner had received a wire three days since from men in New
York to the effect that a hotel to cost from $600,000 to $800,000
would be erected on the southwest corner of overland and Oregon
streets or perhaps face on Overland street and take In both the
corners of Oregon and El Paso streets. This property is owned by
the Hotvard-u'Fallon estate of St. bouts.
it is known that an option was given on the property to New
York parlies several days ago and sometime since Messrs Trost Ac
Trost, architects of this city, completed plans for a seven-story
cement and steel hotel structure to cover the ground.
It is probable, from the action living taken by those in a posi-
tion to get inside information from New York, that the plans of the
eastern parties will materialize in tin; next few weeks.
