RRR TAFT DISMISSES PINCHOT. After a cabinet meeting lasting pearly four hours, President made the announcement that he had directed Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to dismiss Gifford Pinchot from the of- fice of forester of the agricultural de partment. Later on it was made known that Secretary Wilson, in ac cordance with a decision of the presi- dent and the cabinet, had dismissed Overton W. Price, associate forester, and Mr. Pinchot's chief assistant, and Alexander C. Shaw, assistant law of- ficer of the forest service. The action of the president on the eve of the con- gressional investigation into the alle gations and insinuations against Sec- retary of the Interior Ballinger's con- duct of the policy of conserving natu- ral resources is certain to cause & sensation. Coupled with the dismissal of For- ester Pipchot was the significant ac- tion of the house of representatives in connection with the joint resolution for an investigation of the charges af- fecting Secretary Ballinger. Through a combination of Democrats and Re- publican insurgents, aided by personal friends of Mr. Pinchot, the house re- jected that provision of the resolution which directed Speaker Cannon to choose the representatives who should git on the congress committee of in- quiry. The Cannon organization, which stood behind the resolution for an in- vestigation, was overturned by a bare majority of three. Under the resolu- tion as amended the house members of the joint committee of inquiry will be elected by the house itself. The decision to dismiss Messrs. Pin- chot, Price and Shaw was reached at a regular session of the cabinet. A later session was devoted to the prep aration and revision of a letter written by President Taft to Mr. Pinchot, giv- ing the reasons why Mr. Pinchot was to be removed from the government service. Briefly these reasons were that, contrary to instructions from Sec- retary Wilson, Forester Pinchot had written a letter to Senator Dolliver to be read publicly in the senate, de fending Price and Shaw after they had admitted that they had inspired the magazine and press campaign against Secretary Ballinger; that Mr. Pinchot had cast reflections in the Dolliver let. ter on the action of President Taft in directing the dismissal of Louis R. QGlavis, of the public land office, the man who charged that Mr. Ballinger and other officers of the Interior de- partment had been guilty of improper official conduct in connection with Alaska coal land claims, and that Mr. Pinchot hac intimated in the Dolliver letter that without the magazine and press exploitation of Price and Shaw the administration would have allowed fraudulent coal land claims in Alaska to be patented. According to President Taft. Mr. Pinchot wrote to Senator Dolliver to offset in the public mind the president's decision in the Glavis case. Mr. Pinchot in this letter paid a high tribute to Mr. Glavis and indi- cated that President Taft had erred in dismissing him, and, by inference, that Mr. Glavis' charges against Secretary Ballinger ‘~ere based upon proper grounds, In official circles it is said there was no difference of opinion at the cabinet meeting in regard to what course should be taken with respect to Messrs. Pinchot, Price and Shaw. Sudden Death of D. O. Mills. Daring Ogden Mills, the New York banker, who was also a California pioneer and noted as a philanthropist, dled of heart disease at his winter home at Millbrae, about twenty-five miles from San Francisco, Cal. He was eighty-four years old. Mr. Mills is survived by a son and a daughter, Ogden Mills and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the American ambassador to Great Britain. Ogden Mills had two daughters, both of whom are married. One is Countess of Granard and the other Is the wife of Henry Carnegie Phipps, of Pitts. burg. Mrs. Reid's dauip ter, who was Miss Jean Reid, is the wife of Hon. John Hubert Ward, a brother of the Earl of Dudley. Mr. Mills’ fortune is estimated at from $25,000,000 up. He made it en- tirely himself, having begun life 2s a poor boy. Death came almost without warn- ing, after a period of better health than Mr. Mills had enjoyed in several years. Mrs. Reid was the only child at his bedside when the end came, his son, Ogden Mills, and his wife having started for New York. believing the aged financier to be in excellent condi- Dr. Cook a Mental Wreck. That Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the discredited Arctic explorer, is a vie tim of aphasia, unable to think upon any subject for more than an in- stant; that Mrs. Cook is constantly at his bedside; that she has no idea of suing him for divorce; that she is not holding his records from him for a ransom; that while on the way to re covery recently he suffered a severe relapse, and that he continually insists that Mrs. Cook shall not leave him for a moment, were the statements made by Mrs. Josephine Dudley, Mrs. Cook's sister, and the one woman in New York who knows where Dr. Cook is concealed. Mrs. Dudley is the “relative” who is in charge of the two Cook children at Hamilton institute, who is im con- stant communication with Mrs. Cook and who knows more of the explorer's condition than any one else, except his wife and physician. a | near Globe Mills, Snyder county, was | frozen to death, his body remaining in edness.

The $9 hog arrived at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago, and his com- ing marked an epoch in high prices for hogs. Except for a short period in 1882, when the price reached $9.35 per hun- dred weight, the $9 hog has not been seen here since the Civil War. Con- tinued intense cold impeding transpor- tation and an apparent hesitation of producers to market their hogs are the primal causes of the advance in prices, which involves all of the pork products.

Brooks, a negro, who was employed by the Toledo Construction company, which has the contract to repaid the asphalt paved streets In Reading, Pa.. entered the office of the company in the Baer building and be- gan a dispute with Frederick 8.

Neu- doerffer died fifteen minutes after be- ing shot. He never regained consclous- ness. He had been shot in the head and near the heart. The negro ran down the stairway of the building, and as soon as he reached the street was pursued by a large crowd. Four squares away, just as the foremost had about reached him, the negro pulled out his revolver and shot himself through the head. He dropped dead to the pavement.
