Washington, Jan. 8.—The dismiss-
al yesterday from the Government
service of Chief Forester Gifford
Plnchot and his two subordinates,
Assistant Forester Price and Law
Officer Shaw of the Forest Service,
appears to make it a notable day in
the history of the Republican par-
ty. Quite incidental, though none
the less significant, was the defeat
administered in the House during
the afternoon to Speaker Cannon by
the combined efforts of the insurgent
Republicans and the Democrats over
the appointing of the Ballinger in-
vestigating committee.
The day's events are merely re-
garded aB the formal opening of the
contest between the progressive,
sometimes called the Roosevelt ele-
ment of the party and the conserv-
atives. To kome, the events presage
a split In the party that will grow
wider as the Balllnger-Plnohot Inves-
tigation proceeds, for the dismissal
of Plnchot from the service elimi-
nates Mr. Plnchot from the contro-
versy, and will enable the progress-
ives to give to the Investigation the
appearance of a death struggle for
the preservation of the Roosevelt-
Plnchot conservation policies.
Centers Case on Coal land Charges.
Gifford Pmchot’s acknowledge-
ment of the charges that he and his
subordinates did aid in bringing to
a head the charges against Secretary
Ballinger In the matter of the Alask-
an coal lands, and their dismissal
from the service, should go far to-
ward centering the whole Ballinger
Investigation now on the charges
against Mr. Ballinger In connection
with the Alaskan cases.
While the President’s letter to Mrl
Plnchot does not announce the dis-
missal of his subordinates, such ac-l
tlon was decided upon at the all-
day Cabinet session, which was large-
ly devoted to a discussion of the Pin-
chot case. It Is stated on behalf of
the President’s friends that It has
also been desided “to clean out the
whole Roosevelt nest in the Forestry
Bureau.” In this connection the Pin-
chot admirers point out rather glee-
fully that this is the first big skirm-
ish in the irrepressible conflict be-
tween the people and the interests
lover the conservation and control of
the Nation’s natural resources, to
which Mr. PHiehot referred In his
remarkable speech in New York two
v.eeks ago. It can also be said that
there is a certain feeling of satisfac-
tion in the camp of the ultra-conserv-l
ative Republicans over the fact that
events seem to Insure a permanent
break between the Administration
and the Roosevelt element within
the Republican party.
Cannon’s Tlirone Rudely Jolted.
While the President and Cabinet
were deciding during the afternoon
to dismiss Chief Forester Plnchot
and his two assistants, the President
and Speaker Cannon were sent
tumbling in common and humiliating
defeat by a combination of progress-
ive Republicans and Democrats In
the House by a vote of 149 to 145.
The Administration and Cannon or-
ganization plans for investigating
Secretary Ballinger were ruthlessly
upset and a moton carried taking
out of the hands of the Speaker the
appointing of the House membership
of the joint committee to investigate
the Balllnger-Plnchot controversy,
and leaving the naming of the com-
mittee in the halls of the House it-
self. Thus, at one fell swoop, the
insurgents, for the first time, scored
a vistory over the old enemy, the
Speaker, and admlnlsteredarebuke
to the President.!
The defeat of the organization I
seems to have been entirely unex-
pected by the Speaker and his ma-
chine. When the result of the vote
was handed by the clerk to the for-
mer. he rubbed his eyes In bewilder-
ment, put on his glasses, scanned the
scrap of paper again and flushed with
anger and indignation. Then he an-
nounced the vote and the chamber
Immediately rung with yells of trl|
umph from the Insurgents and Dem-
ocrats, while the regulars sat mut-
tering angry threats at their foes.
One Democrat With Cannon.
The only Democrat who voted
ngainst the motion to take the ap-
pointment of the committee out of
the hands of the Speaker was Mr.
Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, who led the
bolt of Democrats in the fight on re-
vision of the rules *n the last Con-
gress. saving Cannon from defeat at
that time. In addition to the insur-
gents who have been fighting the
Speaker for years, Representatives
Parsons and Fish of New York and
Ames of Massachusetts jumped the
traces and turned up in the opposi-
tion camp. ■
